This week, we'll be exploring the dynamics of entrepreneurship, particularly focusing on whether entrepreneurs should collaborate with family members when starting a business or if it's preferable to avoid such partnerships. Many entrepreneurs face this dilemma due to the potential benefits of trust and shared vision with family, but also the risks of conflicts and business complications. What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe it's best for entrepreneurs to start a business with family members?
【参考思路】
同意和家里人一起开公司的理由：
最主要的原因就是资源共享与成本节约。这是因为家庭创业往往能更有效地共享资源，包括资金、人脉、技能和经验。特别是在创业初期，资金和资源相对紧张，家庭成员之间的互助可以显著降低启动成本和运营成本。此外，家庭成员之间可能更容易就利润分配达成共识，减少不必要的财务纷争。
不同意和家里人一起开公司的理由：
理由之一就是限制外部人才引入。在家族企业中，高层管理职位往往由家族成员占据，这可能会限制企业从外部吸引和招聘顶尖人才。当家族成员的能力和视野无法满足企业快速发展的需求时，缺乏新鲜血液和多元化思维可能会阻碍企业的创新和进步。
We've been talking about the process of starting anew business. One of the most important aspects of the process is staffing-that is, deciding which people to hire. Please discuss the following question: ls it better for new businesses to hire experienced veterans of the industry or to staff the business with younger employees who are right out of university? Why do you think so?
【参考思路】
招聘经验丰富的行业资深人士：
资深人士（Veterans）通常拥有深厚的行业知识和丰富的实践经验（possess deep industry knowledge and extensive practical experience），能够迅速适应新环境并解决问题。他们的经验有助于减少错误和试错成本(trial-and-error costs)，提高业务效率和成功率。资深员工往往在行业内有广泛的人脉和联系(a broad network of contacts within the industry)，这有助于企业拓展业务、寻找合作伙伴或客户。
招聘刚从大学毕业的年轻员工：
年轻员工通常具有更强的创新能力和对新技术的敏锐度，能够为企业带来新鲜的思路和创意（stronger innovative abilities and a keen sense of new technologies）。他们更容易适应快速变化的市场环境，对新技术和工具的学习速度也更快。
This week we will be focusing on aninstructional approach called project-based learning. In traditional teaching, teachers largely give lectures and ask students questions about the lecture material. But in project-based learning, students acquire and demonstrate knowledge and skills by working on a course-related project, typically with other students. Before our class tomorrow, I'd like your opinion: Do you think project-based learning is more effective at promoting learning than the traditional teaching method?
同意基于任务式的教学方式
首先，在任务式学习当中，学生之间可以互动和合作。学生可以分享不同的观点、经验和理解，从而促进对主题的更全面理解。
其次，任务式学习可以激发学生的批判性思维和问题解决能力。通过与同学讨论，他们能够思考问题、提出观点并理解多种角度。
此外，学生在任务式学习中更容易参与，相较于在大堂上提问或回答问题，这种互动可以提高学生的学习积极性。
