Some people spend more time reading books, while others prefer to watch TV. The former group are more likely to develop creative imaginations and have a much better grasp of language skills. Do you agree or disagree

Reading books and watching TV are two main channels to cultivate imagination and develop language skills during people’s whole lives. Nowadays, a controversial issue about whether individuals reading books for enjoyment are more capable of practicing their vision and taking a command of languages has been into fierce discussion. In my opinion, reading can better people’s imagination and language abilities.

To begin with, from books, readers are able to grasp the author’s concepts and ideas, This can be illustrated by Harry Porte which plays a pivotal role in capturing readers’ imagination. Another merit of reading is that people can hone their language abilities, especially in expanding vocabulary and improving writing skills. For instance,********The master piece reflects the au thor’s

Admittedly,watching television programs helps to practice viewers’ imagination as well as speaking and listening capabilities, which can be illustrated by the authenticity and the vividness of such TV shows, intensifying people’s appreciation abil ities and encouraging the audience’s imitation. Accordingly, individuals’ vision can be inspired and their spoken language can be furthered. However, TV programs, mostly TV episodes, are mainly originated from books and tend to just represent the ideas of the directors. Consequently, watching such shows may stifle televiewers’ creativity and imagination.

To sum up, although watching TV may have certain positive impacts on viewers’ imagination and language skills, reading books are able to develop individual s’ such capacities better, I believe, due to the diversity and detailedness of books. The point is that people are supposed to read more, not regarding studying as a burden, but reading for pleasure, which is the most important factor readers should consider.

It is said that work is the most important thing of people's life. Without the success of career, life will become meaningless. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion

Many of people in modern society devote a lot of time to working, since they regard career success as the most significant part in life. However, has it come to a point that it has taken over our life This is the question that requires a close examination.

No one can deny the importance of work to a person. Obviously ,employment not only supports us and our families economically, but also helps us establish our self-esteem and pride when we see our job as an opportunity to make a contribution to our community. In other words, we fulfill our social value through a job.

However, the belief that occupational endeavor makes our life meaningful and rewarding does not necessarily lead to the assumption that without a satisfying career, life is meaningless. Life is not only about work. Instead, there are many other factors that influence our well-being. Family life, personal hobbies, religious pursuit, friendship and even rest and recreation also contribute to our happiness. If these aspects are not in balance with working life, there can be little chance to embrace a successful career. Those who overly focus on career tend to suffer from some problems, such as health issues, fear of failure, bad interpersonal relationship, materialism and so forth.(也可例举拓展)

All in all, while work is an important part of life, it is not the only thing we have to do in our life. There are other things we can enjoy. The key is the balance between working and personal life which helps us take the most advantage of our mundane life.

In some countries, the parents expect children to spend long time in studying both in and after school and have less free time. Do you think it has positive or negative effects on children and the society Nowadays, parents pay closer attention to children’s academic performance. As a result, some teenagers are ordered to continue acquiring knowledge from course books, even during their spare time. Personally, it has more negative effects on children and the society. Admittedly, acquiring knowledge as much as possible would be high on today’s students’ age nda, especially in this competitive world. Higher

educational resource is always limited; as a consequence, it is absolutely justified to allocate the opportunities of sharing advanced learning resources to those who perform well in academic study.

However, on no account should we ignore its drawbacks. Firstly, it should be taken into consideration that students will suffer stifling academic stress. Most importantly, if their free time were occupied for further knowledge acquisition, then they would have no time to relax their bodies and ease their minds. In the long run, some adolescents tend to totally collapse, seeking some unfavorable approaches to releasing pressure, such as gambling, getting drunk and even committing suicide. Secondly, we should by no means overly emphasize the improvement of academic performance. Realistically, the cultivation of team spirit and interpersonal skills are also supposed to attract parents and educators’ attention. Otherwise, the youngsters are more likely to encounter difficulties when they collaborate with colleagues for any group assignment. Words fail to express how important communicational skills are in this rapidly changing world. So, it is far from enough if the students only predominate in the field of study.

Overall, there is no denying that parents and teachers are supposed to join forces to help children become well-rounded adults in the near future, which is not only reflected in their academic performance, but also on their skills when they cooperate with others.

Childcare is an important task for nations. It is suggested that all mothers and fathers should be required to take the childcare training courses. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement

Childcare skills, which used to pass from generation to generation, nowadays have been developed into some formal courses in many countries and young parents are encouraged to register in these programs.

I personally support such action.

The development in one's early stage of life is so vital that free access to professional childcare programs, which are not only about nutrition, for all parents should be available. It is proved by many researchs that young parents equipped with sufficient childcare knowledge about childcare can better protect their infants or toddlers

from various risks, detect possible warning signs of development delay, better understand a child's emotional needs and help establish healthy eating habits. Overall, these parents tend to help children grow to their fullest potential physically, emotionally and intellectually and these advantages would affect the future life of their children for long term.

It is certainly true that our grandparents never attended any parenting classes and they raised our parents with no major regret. It seems that we could keep this tradition, learning from our parents. However,this is impractical in modern society. The decreasing birth rate and smaller scale of families means that the young generation have no chance to help mum take care of their little siblings or little chance to witness the process and learn from other adults how to raise a baby properly.

It is also understandable that working parents are sometimes not in a position to get involved in formal parenting courses, especially fathers who usually dedicate most of their time to their work and leave little time to their families. Nevertheless, such obstacles can be removed by flexible ways of delivering childcare courses, such as the Internet, TV or radio. Or the courses can last for a few years since young couples consider starting a family.In addition, research findings suggest that the increasing involvement of fathers in interactive activities with children helps with healthy development of a baby.

To sum up , childcare training courses should be compulsory, because they make eligible/qualified parents and a happy family and a strong nation by promoting healthy development of a person in early stage of life.

Some people say watching television is bad for Children in all ways, others say it is good for children to get knowledge.

范文:

Watching TV has always been an important part of after school life for children, and some of them even become TV addicts. Therefore some people advocate ‘no TV for children’.

Of course this is understandable. Firstly, children sitting too much

time in front of a screen tend to have poor eyesight and weak body due to lack of physical exercise. They can also be lost in the virtual world and be insensitive to people around them, including their parents, and this is detrimental to their family relationship and their emotional development. Another concern is about their mental development which needs various types of interactive activities, but obviously excessive TV viewing cannot meet such requirement. The worst part can be some programs which are not proper for children to watch. Too many advertisements and news focusing on emergency and disasters on the screen are also a disadvantageous point for immature people who are prone to be influenced negatively.

However watching TV in moderation with proper parental supervision can be good for children. There are plenty of educational programs which can expand children’s knowledge and spark their interestin exploring the world where they may not have the opportunity to visit in real life, such as the nature and wild life. TV is not only an educational source, but is also a recreational activity. It can help enrich their after class activities. For example, children are always excited to watch cartoons and they would experience the adventure together with the characters in the show. The positive effects would be enlarged if children are able to share their TV time with their parents or peers, because they would have topics in common and more communication can be followed.

In general, I’d like to conclude that whether TV is good or bad is determined by how parents manage it. If parents limit TV hours and designate some educational and interesting programs and they keep their children accompanied, healthy viewing habit would be established and positive effects would be maximized. Otherwise, watching TV can be a worrying situation.

Some people think young people should be free to choose his or her job,but other people think they should be realistic and think more about their future. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

范文:

In today’s labour market, what kind of jobs do young people favor

While some mainly consider about some realistic issues such as initiative salary or working conditions, others may choose one simply because they like it.

Of course it is very justified for job seekers to be realistic when facing the severe competition in employment. College graduates have little chance to be romantic ,for they have to think about the starting payment, security, working hours and future promotion opportunity. For instance,in my country, many parents encourage their children to compete for a civil servant position as it is permanent for life. Other things such as personal interest or feelings have to come second. However, many young workers complain about their job of a high level of security. They tend to suffer from tediousness and indifference.

I personally support young people to have freedom to choose their career in the hope of enhancedjob satisfaction. They should be allowed to choose what they have interest in and feel inspired to be better each day. When a worker feel satisfied with his or her job, he or she would be self-motivated and dedicated to their career. They tend to spare little effort to achieve their workinggoal which is set clear and ambitious. Even if some jobs are not permanent, those who outperformtheir colleagues in these workplaces can also gain high degree of security.

To conclude my argument, it is ideal to land on a job position which not only is stable but alsoignites one’s passion for work. However, there is nothing perfect in this world and especial in the employment sector. My suggestion is to give priority to personal inclination to a particular job when one is seeking for a job.

Some people think all lawbreakers should be taken in to prison, others believe that there are better alternatives, (for example, being work to do which is beneficial for local community). Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

范文:

To handle criminals is a problem that all countries and societies face. Traditionally, the approach has been to punish them by placing them in prisons to pay for what they have done. Some, however, advocate for

trying to make them better with training and education and it seems they may have a good point.

First of all, consider all the money that we have to spend to lock people up in jail. It doesn’t seem like a good use of public money if the people don’t actually get any better. Because most criminals eve ntually are let out of prison, our focus should be on making them better citizens.

In fact, the reason why many people end up in jail in the first place is because they didn’t have a good education or happy family. So if they can learn job skills they perhaps can find work and feel they can contribute in a positive way. If they do this, they won’t need crime. Surly everyone deserves a second chance.Of course this does not mean that we should be too lenient on criminals. Those who commit crime should still be punished, but during their punishment they should also be treated. If we make an investment in them and show compassion, most will be able to make a new start.

To summarize, we must make more of an effort to go to the root of the problem. We need to treat criminals as patients and give them the medicine they need: education and training. By giving people the skills for a second chance we can make our society safer and healthier.

Not enough students choose science subjects in university in many countries. What's the reasons for this problem What's the effects to the society

范文:

In some rapidly developing countries, increasing university students major in business, accounting, communication or computer programing rather than science. I personally believe that this is an inevitable transition in the era of information and globalization when capital flows worldwide and communication technology play a role in almost every field. The changes in technology and social evolvement are being reflected in the university subject preference.

The first reason that science loses its popularity to other disciplines relates to the employment rate and starting salaries upon graduation. Science undergraduates risk higher unemployment and earn less than computer programmers or businessmen and the gap may be wider in Master degree. During the economic recession, some students with

interest in science may give in to the pressure in reality. Another contributor is the difficulty of science subjects that prevent many potential students from enrolling in this faculty. Picturing oneself as a scientist is not easy for a high school leaver. On top of the difficulty of this discipline itself, the application in practice and transforming into profit is harder.

However, science is so crucial to our human society that no country can afford the consequences of ignoring it. Science is the basis of many practical disciplines such as environment science, medical science, space science, engineering, genetic science and so forth. Without the support of general science, many other fields would find it very challenging to get further developed. What’s worse, science is directly related to our material life. We live on scientific research findings and products, ranging from energy supply, aircraft to numerous consumer goods. It is hard to imagine living a life without these scientific advancements.

To sum up this report, science is less popular than before because the society demands more professionals in other fields such as business and c ommunication. However I’m convinced that the potential implications are negative to the health of society, hence requiring relevant solutions to reverse the trend.

Universities and colleges are now offering qualifications through distance learning from the Internet rather than teachers in the classroom. Do you think the advantages of this development overweight the disadavantages 范文:

Compared to distance learning, physically attending a school has some intrinsic advantages for the students’ overall devel opment. Also, teachers can adjust their teaching styles and their instructions to best suit the characteristics of their students. In addition to academic pursuits, students’ emotional and social development can be significantly improved in school due to s tudents’ participation in extra-curricular activities and events. The emotional connection that often helps to generate inspiration, creativity and emotional wellbeing is vital for young students. In essence the experience in the non-virtual world cannot be substituted by simply receiving lectures electronically and submitting essays.

Admittedly distance learning programs offer a valuable option for people with special needs, such as the disabled, full time workers or those who have families to take care of and are not able to attend class at regular hours. Another advantage is the relatively less expensive tuition fees of distance programs due to the exclusion of financial cost of campus facilities. But this way of education is restricted to knowledge delivery and requires sufficient self-discipline and time-managing abilities; therefore it is not suitable for young students except as a complimentary source, as it can act as a virtual tutor or a tool for review or reinforcement of what is learned in regular schools.

Overall, I would like to conclude that remote learning programs are making a contribution to wider education receivers by supplying more chances for the acquisition of knowledge. But they cannot be expected to surpass the overall quality of education available at a college which provides both knowledge and an environment for students’ overall development. This is the key factor in education.

Some think that people should go to college or university to prepare for a successful career. Others believe that they should get a job immediately after they leave school to get more work experience. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

范文:

School leavers always have to make such decision whether to go to university or an occupational college so as to start working as soon as possible. Which road is more likely to lead to a brightprospect of career

Most people would favor higher education, with some undeniable arguments. Firstly university students are equipped with both practical and theoretical knowledge and skills which areconsidered to better prepare them for their future career. The reason is that degree holders tend to see things in a bigger picture due to the systematic thinking trained in theoretical subjectswhich are basically what differentiates higher education from vocational one. Theory learning also gives university students a competitive edge in adapting to the rapid technological

advancein modern world. This flexibility and thinking abilities may explain why undergraduates are generally better paid at work. It seems that a decent academic qualification can guarantee a decent job.

However, this does not mean (that) tertiary education is the only way to a successful career. Occupational education is believed to better satisfy the variety of needs in a society. When most people choose to be professionals, leaving fewer to be car mechanics or builders, technical workers are in increasing demand. As a result, they are now paid well, in some cases even better than a professional. In addition, starting working early means accumulated working and social experience, which are highly valued by many employers who would expect cost saving of job training, effective communication and high working efficiency. Other qualities possessed by a skilled worker such as a mature manner to deal with complex issues can mainly be achieved in adynamic working condition.

My own opinion is that in any society there is demand for workers at different levels from professional to technical to non-skilled, and therefore anyone can find his or her position. In other words, either going to university or attending a vocational college can be a wise choicedepending on one’s interest or personal traits. Only when one is doing a job he or she has passion for, can he or she achieve the best performance. As an old Chinese saying goes, ‘every profession produces its own to pmost master’.

It is more important for a building to serve a purpose than to look beautiful. Architects shouldn’t worry about producing building as a work of art. Do you agree or disagree

范文:

I agree with the view presented above that function should come first in architecture, although I have no intention to deny that beauty is also an important element.

In essence, any building is constructed to serve a purpose, which might be accommodating, storing, recreating, entertaining, manufacturing and so forth. Therefore utility is widely recognized by most architects and

the general public as well. It is especially practical today to consider such characteristics asspatial grammar, convenience, firmness, material cost and construction speed in the residential construction due to the stress on house access from the increasing population and the development of urbanization. Focusing on function is also a cost saving practice as various ornaments which serve no obvious function would be simplified at the greatest extent or even eliminated.

However, artistic structures can be seen in many places around the world. Human has the nature to pursue beauty and express their feelings through art worksand architecture definitely is one of them by which this goal can be achieved. Over emphasis on architectural function tends to global similarity asinternational tourists have witnessed. In contrast, a building with certainaesthetic value is always unique and therefore adorned by local people or even foreigners and cherished as a cultural treasure, such as the Bird’s Nest and theWater Cube in Beijing which have been not only an ordinary Olympic stadium or a swimming pool but also a hot tourist spot due to their unique splendid exterior. However, the external appearance should not be the most important consideration as a good looking but less useful building is just a waste of substantial resources such as wood, steel, cement, energy sources and labor force, all of which have to be invested in construction.

In my personal view, it would be ideal that a building satisfies both functional and aesthetic aspects. If these two cannot be achieved simultaneously, then function should be taken as the priority instead of the outward look.

Scientific progress influences our daily life greatly. Do you think this is a positive or negative development

范文:

It is undeniable that technological advancement has made an unprecedented change in our human life in the last century. Nonetheless, its destructive impact on our society has also to be recognized.

In the 20th century, some significant inventions including jet planes, TV, cars, computers and telephones have shaped our modern life fundamentally.Long distance transportation becomes easier and

increasing international communication in many aspects such as trade, cultures and technology expands our activity sphere and broadens our horizons. Our life expectancy is longer than ever before thanks to medical progress and some fatal diseases such as heart disease and breast cancer can be cured. Boosted productivity in industry and agriculture by automation has solved famine in many regions and improved our living standard dramatically. TV and the internet provide entertainments and information as well.

However, it has been widely realized that the benefits produced by technology do not come at no cost. The environment deterioration makes the earth less livable largely due to the overuse of fuel sources for energy production and traffic exhaust. Another contributor is the high efficiency of production which makes consumer goods so cheap that people throw away food or anything out of date or broken with little hesitation, but unfortunately it is this throw-away lifestyle that is responsible for the large amount of waste and meanwhile escalates the commodity production in turn. Overpopulation, as one consequence of the improved medical condition and better material life, has savagely deprived animals and plants of their habitats, damaging the balance of the nature and eco-sustainability. In spite of the medical progress, the public health ironically is not getting enhanced and the reason for this is modern sedentary lifestyle which features the addiction to TV, the computer and the internet.

In conclusion, I personally assume that science and technology has changed our life in both positive and negative ways. While we enjoy more material affluence and convenience, we have to tolerate the contaminated environment and poor health. Maybe we should not be too optimistic about science and technology development.

100 years ago, human race believed we would make continue progress in all areas of life. Today, some people feel less certain about this. what areas of progress human race has made What else areas we haven't developed

范文:

It is undeniable that technological advancement has made an unprecedented change in our human life in the last century. Nonetheless, we are not quite satisfied with some other areas, such as the environment, public health and relationship.

In the 20th century, some significant inventions including jet planes, TV, cars, computers and telephones have shaped our modern life fundamentally. Long distance transportation becomes easier and increasing international communication in many aspects such as trade, cultures and technology expands our activity sphere and broadens our horizons. Our life expectancy is longer than ever before thanks to medical progress and some fatal diseases such as heart disease and breast cancer can be cured. Boosted productivity in industry and agriculture by automation has solved famine in many regions and improved our living standard dramatically. TV and the internet provide entertainments and information as well.

However, it has been gradually realized that progress is needed to make in many domains of human race and the most urgent one is the environment. The earth is less livable with decreasing amount of clean water, air or arable land. Overpopulation, as a root cause of many human issues such as energy crisis, environment deterioration, animal extinction and traffic congestion, should be effectively controlled. In spite of the medical progress, the public health ironically is not getting enhanced due to modern sedentary lifestyle which features the addiction to TV, the computer and the internet. Healthy lifestyle should be encouraged with the combined efforts by the local government and education system.

In conclusion, I personally assume that human race has made significant progress in technology. However, we are confronted with the contaminated environment and poor health. There is still long way for us to go and maybe we should not be too optimistic about science and technology development.

As countries develope, their populations tend to live individually or in a small family units. In your opinion, what is this cause and what are the effects on society.

范文:

In modern society, young people prefer to stay apart from their parents and live alone in a metropolis. Further, they have a tendency of postponing their parenthood until late 30’s or even early 40’s.

This trend may involve some factors and the most rooted one can be modern urbanized lifestyle which features high level of mobility and instability of economic situation. In addition, young people facing enormous competition and stress at workplace, have to focus on their jobs and therefor have little time for their families. Obviously under such circumstance, committing to a serious relationship or starting a family, which means tremendous responsibility and dedication, is not a preferable choice. Also the extended family is no longer a realistic option and is replaced by the nuclear one. The cost increase of raising a child is another barrier to late parenthood, and this is especially obvious in major cities around the world.

This change of lifestyle can have some negative effects on individuals and the society as a whole. Firstly low birthrates can result in an ageing population and a lack of labor force in the future. Medical care service will be in high demand and medical cost will rise significantly.

Living alone without long term and stable relationships is widely thought to be associated with personal sense of happiness, which would reduce an individual’s general satisfaction with life, but increase the sense of isolation.

Traditionally, cultures and values are passed on in family daily life. However, in modern cities, the young generation living away from the older one have little chance to learn any from their parents. Instead, they are being assimilated by globally popular cultures.

Some people think that it is acceptable to use animals in medical research for the benefit of human beings, while other people argue that it is wrong. 范文:

In modern society, laboratory testation on animals is a common way of

ensuringthe safety of a new medicine or medical procedure and most people have formed this conception that it is acceptable that animals are tested on for medical purpose. However, whether it is legal is different from whether it is ethical, especially when we see it not from our human perspective.

Obviously people who support this practice put more value on human life than animals’ and they believe that animals should be sacrificed for the benefits of human races. To maximize the health and safety of mankind, animal testation is the best way to get the accurate and reliable data for a particular medicine or procedure because animals have similar biological characters and structures.Conducting experiments on animals before launching a new therapy is also a responsible practice to patients who deserve every respect to their life.

However, it is equally reasonable to say that animals have their intrinsic right to life. In other words, animals and humans have totally the same rights to live on the earth and therefore no one should take the life of the other for any purpose. Animal protectors also raise the evidence that laboratory rats have nerve system which means that they can feel pain. That is why many opponents of animal testation suggest computer simulation, hoping to replace the cruel way of experimentation with machine.

To summarize this essay, while I believe animals should be respected under every circumstance, I have to admit that there is no better way than medical testation on animals to secure patients against potential dangerous effects.Reconciliation is hard to achieve, but suggestion can be to control the number of animals tested on in laboratory and reduce the pain that they may endure during the experiments.

Some people think that older schoolchildren should learn wide range subjects and develop knowledge, other people think that they should only learn a small number of subjects in details.

范文:

Never has the topic concerning the pattern of education failed to arouse people’s attention. Peo ple hold divergent views about which one is more preferable, specialized education or comprehensive education. Someone argue that the specialists in different fields are what the current education

system needs to foster. Yet, still others believe that it is necessary to implement the general education to enhance the all-round abilities of students. As I see it, it is of immense value for students to receive the comprehensive education.

No doubt, people who support the idea of specialized education do have reasons to some extent. For one thing, it is extremely efficient for the learners to acquire knowledge when applying themselves to only one subject. For another, it exerts a beneficial impact on the future job-hunting, for the specialists can definitely meet the demand of some enterprises such as the training of athletes, cooks and other professionals.

I have to admit that there is an element of truth in the argument above. However, on no account could we ignore the profound influence of the general education. First, traveling in the ocean of divergent subjects could help enlarge ones’ knowledge scope and broaden one’s mental horizons. Hence, it can deepen one’s insight into life and foster one’s rational thinking, analytical thinking and critical thinkin g. Still, by means of all-round learning, it can add spice and enrichment to students’ dull routine of daily life. It is conceivable that one can cultivate various hobbies and talents as a generalist. Last of all, knowledge is no burden. Acquiring a wide range of subjects could enable one to realize overall development and thus better prepare him or her for the future career challenges. Maybe it fails to enhance ones’ competitiveness after graduation, but the moral education and character-training it covers could be beneficial to ones’ growth in the long run.

In a word, it is fairly difficult to say that the special education is the better way to train the youngsters. My view is that everyone could benefit a great deal from the general learning, both psychologically and intellectually .

Today, the qualities of life of people in big cities are worse. What are the causes of this problem Any measures should be taken to solve it

范文:

In recent decades, a large number of young population surge into major cities to pursue a better life, but to their disappointment, the quality of city life is not as high as they expected.

The fundamental reason for declining quality of life should be thecentralization of various societal resources, such as hospitals,

education institutions, large companies and so forth. Centralizing fine resources in a place is originally why a city is founded, but over concentration can lead to highdensity of population who come to share these resources by being employed or starting a business, and cause problems in many social aspects including traffic congestion, high living cost, severe pollution, etc. Ironically, in spite of tight squeeze in small flats, city dwellers have no opportunity to develop close relationships with their family, friends and neighbours and the reason for suchsocial isolation is that young people are busy competing for preciousopportunities for a successful career and life, leaving little time for their personal life.

To tackle these problems, diverse measures should be taken but the most effective one should be to uproot the resource centralization. By that I mean to move some industry, business and services from metropolises to smaller cities,thereby encouraging people to move out too. This decentralization can relieve the stress in pollution, traffic and competition.

Social isolation can directly contribute to lower level of happiness and satisfaction with life, and higher crime and suicide rates. But this can be addressed by knitting a close net within local community. To be specific, community center should be established as a stage, so as to organize community activities to provide residents chances to get familiar with their neighbours and to offer domestic service to family with young children and elderly members.Property developers should be required to design public space in residential areas where children and parents can meet others and consequently establish connection with their community.

It is common in many countries that urbanization is often accompanied withsome social issues. Nonetheless, these issues can be resolved by some active and positive actions and I personally think that decentralization is the most effective one.

People nowadays are surrounded by all kinds of advertising. Advertising affects what people think is important and sometimes has a negative influence on people’s lives. what extent do you agree or disagree

范文:

Today people are fed up with the volume of news reports generated by

the various media sources such as newspaper, TV, and the Internet. In rare cases, headlines fail to attract our attention or to arouse wide concern among the public, which clearly shows the media power in the audience. I personally think that such influence can be either constructive or destructive.

In the following cases, media influence makes a positive difference. Media reports sometimes focus on some major events calling for a national determination to achieve a common goal or go through a hard time. In China, the 2008 Olympic Games was a hot topic in media coverage, encouraging the public to make their contribution and meantime to enhance the national identity. The tragic Sichuan earthquake in 2008 was another example of the influence of the media which ignite the whole nation’s sympathy and passion for helping the survivals. It is also positive when media highlight the environment deterioration at the attempt to increase the public awareness of the environmental reservation.

On the other hand, the media power can be negative. In some countries where the media agencies are run by the government, media is used to manipulate the public in order to achieve a hidden goal for a few. Under some circumstances, a bombing campaign can provoke public hatred, which is very dangerous and unfair to the na?ve ordinary people. Media is influencing our lifestyle by constantly exposing the luxury life of pop stars and celebrities, with the assist of tempting advertisements. This is actually encouraging the public to be materialistic and destroying our already fragile environment as well in spite of its contribution to the domestic consumption and economic growth.

In conclusion, media can easily attract the public attention in our information era and I hold that this influence can be either positive or negative depending on which direction the media intend to lead the public to.

Some people think all children learn history in school is important; some others think learning subjects more relevant to life is important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

范文:

School curriculum design has always been a common concern for the authorities, school teachers and parents as well, and history is one of the subjects causing a debate. While some people cannot see its relevance to our current life, I’d like to emphasize its importance in modern society.

Those who advocate the elimination of history see things in separate rather than in connection. They presume that history is about everything that happened in the past; therefore has nothing to do with our present life which has changed into a completely different world. Accordingly they claim that studying history is a waste of time and should be removed from school class. However, it is because of the constant change of the world that we need to grasp something unchangeable which can always be found in the study of history. This interpretation of the subject of history is blind to the general principles presented in the past.

It is said that there is nothing new in the world, which applies that we candraw on the experience of our ancestors. History helps children to better and deeper understand the changing world and develop sensibility, judgment andadaptability to their personal life and the society. Such qualities help students to avoid many mistakes and better prepare for their successful and rewardingfuture life. In addition, history is also about culture and tradition due to itsregional and racial features. It reminds us of our root and enhances our identity.Children learning history can better appreciate their traditional culture.

To sum up, history is a best way for us to see the current world and predict the future. History is especially important for children to learn because it makes them more aware of themselves and the world and provide cultural identity as well.

Some people think government should not spend money on supporting artists and money should be spent on more important things. To what extent do you agree or disagree

Due to budget shortfall in many countries, the funding for arts is facing a declining trend. The main reason is that some people partially emphasize the role of science and technology and social services such as medical care and education, but underestimate the intangible contribution of the

arts which is difficult to quantify.

If we were to judge something by its material value, putting the taxpayers money into social service and science surely looks justifiable as it has a more direct fuction in increasing people’s living standard than the art example, education empowers people with knowledge and skills that make capable workers. Improving healthcare system leads to better public health and better quality of life. Environmental technologies such as clean energies help make the earth a better place to live. However, these do not necessarily enhance the happiness of people. That is to say the quality of life does not solely depend on material satisfaction.

Humans are emotional beings and need not only bread to eat but also roses to enjoy. Arts existed as early as in prehistory era, which is the best evidence of arts significance even under a preliminary living condition. Humans instinctivelyexpress their thoughts and emotions through painting, music or literature, which is always about creativity and uniqueness. Therefore without thriving arts, the other fields such as science, economy and education would lose inspiration and passion. Looking back at the human history, there was no highly advanced civilisation without the company of prosperous arts and culture. Another reason for government to support arts is that arts can enhance national cohesion due to its unique regional and racial characteristics. Citizen engagement in arts activities creates a strong shared identity and instills pride in a state’s cultural heritage.

To conclude, it is the arts that deal with non-material aspects of human life and it is as important as basic social services for humans, but in different ways. To maintain a healthy and robust society, governments should not marginalise the arts.

It is a government’s responsibility to provide financial support to old people after they retire or individuals should save money for themselves. 范文:

Majority of human beings have been blessed by the peace and prosperity after Second World War which in turn has brought about the booming of population. Not only has the number of people been rising

2019年12月17日雅思大作文真题及范文 Task:Some people think getting old is entirely bad, but other people do think it’s much better for old people to live now than in the past. Please show your idea with explanation, examples and your knowledge. Sample answer: It has become a common phenomenon for people in a number of countries to enjoy an increasing life expectancy. While some people believe it is horrible just to imagine getting old , I think the situation has completely changed comparing to decades ago and now elderly people can lead a happy life. In some cases, the seniors do experience empty nest syndrome because their children are away from home. However, things are different nowadays. There are numerous residential homes with trained carers in a country and they have become a perfect place for the elderly to stay after retirement, where the elderly will not feel lonely and bored with the company of their peers. Another concern for numerous senior citizens is the health problem. In the past, without advanced medical science, the seniors tend to suffer from various kinds of diseases, which decrease their quality of life at great extent. By contrast, the medical science is developing at an amazing speed and this trend can at least delay the onset of some chronic conditions and with healthy body, the elderly can enjoy happier lives.
