Sample Writing:
My opinion on Campus Disciplines
In recent years, universities in China tried to admit more students. While meeting public demand for higher education, these universities are usually troubled with various problem behaviors on the students' part, such as skipping classes, eating breakfast in classroom, and even too intimate behavior between student lovers. To deal with these problems, many universities carried out mere strict disciplines. /Though many students are against them, I believe these disciplines are necessary and helpful.
First, these disciplines are necessary to establish a proper environment for teaching and learning. Teaching and learning are tough mental activities that require great concentration, if students eat breakfast in the classroom, they cannot pay complete attention to study at the same time. If students move in and out of classroom as they wish, the teacher and other students will definitely he interrupted. /Besides, learning is also a long term process. If students skip classes frequently, they will not get a complete understanding of the knowledge system of the course, thus unable to learn the course well.
Second, these disciplines are necessary to prepare students for their future career. Many students are not aware that there are very strict disciplines concerning one's behavior in the work place. If they do not cultivate proper mentality towards disciplines at university, they will not be used to disciplines in the Future; and this will be a potential threat to their success./1 learned from a friend that a graduate from a key university was fired because he had not followed the company's discipline of not coming to office late, and lee admitted that he had been late for class frequently when he was at university, It can be seen from this example that if students do not cultivate a sense of discipline at school, they will have various failures in store for them.
Finally, strict campus disciplines arc also necessary for the sound development of the society. Those who are against disciplines on the oasis of personal freedom have a serious misconception about right and freedom. Being art adult does not mean you can do anything you like without caring about others' interests. If universities cannot dissolve this misconception before their graduation, these students may very possibly develop into people without due respect for law and regulations, and this may pose potential threat to the country's effort of build a law-abiding society.
From the above analysis, we can see that campus disciplines are indispensable. It can create environment to ensure educational quality, prepare students for future job market, and help cultivate a law-abiding society. /So we have every reason to call for more strict disciplines.
Students are becoming busier and busier. They have more courses to take, more expectations to meet, and more pressure to suffer. But many teachers complain that students are not spending enough time on reading, especially on reading literary works. What is your opinion on this issue? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic: Should Students Read Literary Works? In the first pact of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In tire last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
University used to be regarded as a place of reading, and students spent mast of their time reading not only textbooks but also hooks of general interests. But now, faced with intense worry about future job market, students are spending most time on taking useful courses and winning various certificates. Students are reading fewer books about their majors, not to mentions literary works.
Many teachers deplore the disappearance of literary works from students' reading list, and l think this can be completely justified. Most students assume reading is a waste of time; but actually reading literary works can help students with their study. For language majors, reading literary works in English gives them more time to use the language, thus helping them learn it better. / For other students of social sciences, literary works can help them understand their majors. / For example, students of history can know more about certain decade from novels, and students of management can Find more examples from many stories. / Even For students of natural sciences, reading literary works can help relax their mind so that they can work better. The second function of literary works is helping students cultivate themselves. / A person who has a balanced knowledge and knows more about human experience is more likely to become one of cultivation. Reading literary works can not ensure a broad scope of knowledge, but also offer opportunities to know about other people's experience, so it can help students to improve their own quality. / Many professors we respected because they show much knowledge both in their own study and in human history and other cultures, and this should be attributed to their broad reading of literary works. Most importantly,reading literary works is necessary for carrying on human culture. / University is respected in human society just because it is a place where human culture is created and tarried an. Knowledge and wisdom in books is actually dead, and only when they are remembered and understood can they be really alive. When reading literary works, students can understand and remember the great ideas and achievement in human culture. / As a professor pointed out, students with little literary knowledge just have an incomplete knowledge and cannot be called a cultured person. If universities cannot produce cultured graduates, they cannot carry on human vulture to the future. To conclude, reading literary works is o1' vital importance because it can help students with their study, their personality development, and continuation of human culture. Given ifs importance, universities should find ways to encourage students to take an interest in this treasure, Let's trope that we can soon find classical novels top the students' reading lists.
分析因果关系(Cause and Effect)
对于这类题目,首先要明确出题者要我们谈原因还是谈结果。
虽然有时候两者都有。
但是在绝大多数情况下,我们只要讨论其中的一个方面如果该讨论原因我们却大谈结果,就犯了张冠李戴的错误结局是可想而知的。
为了提高文章的质一缺,我们建议大家在做brainstorming时除了考虑直接的因果关系之外,还可以在广度和深度上做一些努力。
比如考虑全国、全球范围的因果关系或者文化、道德、传统等层次的因果关系,这样经常能保证文章内容的优势,从而为我们赢得高分。
从经验上看,最好的搭配是两个直接的原因或结果加上一个间接的原因或者结梁,这样既好写
又能提高质量。
另外还要注意要点的顺序问题,最好把直接的因果放在前面,间接的因果放在最后,以达到强调它的目的。
在结论段的最终评论中,如果文章是谈某个问题的原因,我们就可以提出一些建议;而如果是谈结果,我们就可以讨论意义,即解决这个问题可以带来很多好处。
Now the Internet has almost become the symbol of information age. Some think that it is a very great invention because they can do many things that were impassible. But some view the Internet with much disapproval because it distracts people's attention rather than help people do things better. What is your opinion about the influence of Internet on the modern society? Write an essay of about 400 wards on the Following topic:
The Internet and the Modem Society

The Internet and the Modem Society
Recently the influence of Internet has attracted much public attention. People worry about the time wasted on it, the damage caused by virus spread on it, and most of all, some violent crimes committed due to the violent games
played on it. All these concerns nay be reasonable. / But if we take a broader perspective, we may find that the Internet has had many positive impacts on the modem society.
First of all, Internet has made the access to information more convenient. In the past, people could get information they wanted through only limited channels, such as newspaper, radio, and televis ion. This means that only a certain amount of people could get the information at certain time and in certain place. / But now with the help of Internet, people can get information no matter when and where they want. As a researcher has pointed out, information explosion means that people live in the ocean of information, and Internet has been essential to make that true.
Besides, Internet has also made communication more convenient. Sociologists agree that communication is vital to maintain harmonious human relation, but this communication was rather inconvenient in the past despite the continuous improvement of technology. Letters have been so slow as to be nicknamed "snail mail", telegraph and telephone may be quicker, but they have been very costly. / But now many new communication tools developed on the basis of the Internet, such as e-mail, MSN and QQ, have made talking to a person extremely quick, convenient, and virtually free. This will undoubtedly improve the human relations in the modern world.
The most important impact, however, is that Internet has make social interaction more convenient. Before the era, various social ins titutes had only limited options to choose from if they wanted to reach the public, and naturally
the result was usually unsatisfactory. / But now in the Internet era, all these institutes can set up their own websites, which c7n not only tell the public information but also collect reaction from the public. / For example, the government can collect people's opinion about certain project through the Internet, producers can promote products through Internet and universities can clarify admission policies through Internet. The result is that Internet can help to bring about a more open, fair and interactive society.
In a word, more convenient social interaction, personal communication and access to information are the three major changes the Internet has made in the modern society. Although there do exist some problems with the Internet, these positive influences certainly are more important. What we should do is find measures to solve the problems rather than just talking about them. Just as the proverb says, we should not stop eating for fear of being choked.
Now many university teachers are troubled by students' cheating on exams. No matter how hard they try to persuade and to prevent it from happening, this phenomenon seems to be on the increase. In the past, only students poor at study would try to cheat, but now those good students are joining this team. What's more, students who are caught seldom regret their behavior; they only complain about their bad luck. This is really hard to understand for teachers and administrators. The website of a university has started an online discussion about why students cheat on exams, and you are expected to write an article of about 400 words to join this discussion.

What Have Turned Us into Cheaters?

Why Do I Attend University?
Every summer hundreds of thousands of young students attend the college entrance examination, lighting hard to be among the lucky ones to enter universities. But have this large crowd asked themselves such a question: why do you want to go to university? It will be dangerous if so many people try so hard to do something without clear propose. For me, going to university can fulfill three important proposes.
The most direct motive for going to university is to secure a good job in the future. / With the largest population in the world, China is certain to be a gathering place of labor force. When there is more than enough labor force, one hats to be extraordinary in order to succeed in the job market. As not all young people can go to university now, such an educational experience is sure to guarantee some advantage. / If you open a classified advertisement, you may
find that most of the well-paying jobs require a university degree or higher. / Therefore, without university education, you cannot possibly find a decent job to support yourself and your family.
Besides good job and income, a more important motive for going to university is to acquire knowledge. / Since high school I have become increasingly interested in learning knowledge. I was usually fascinated by what teachers taught in various causes, and this curiosity drives me to know more. I have found that things taught in high school are just on very basic level. If I want to dig deeper, the best place is here at univers ity. With the help of professors and books, I can find the knowledge more thoroughly anti systematically. I won't be satisfied with my life unless I can satisfy my curiosity for knowledge in university.
The most profound motive for going to university is to make some contribution. Due to the influence of my paresis, I do not just want to support myself in the society; I also want to do something for the society. Of course I don't have to go to university in order to make this contribution, but 1 find that more education can surely help me du it better. / History reveals that those who have made more contribution are invariably better educated. Great figures like Newton, Einstein are all well educated. / How can I make more contribution without university education?
Therefore, three motives drive me into the gate of my university. I come here for a good job, for more knowledge, and most importantly, far better contribution. I am sure with the knowledge I learn here, 1 will achieve the other
two purposes. And I am also sure that other people will also find university education rewarding to their life.
In the past few decades, "generation gap" has become a quite popular phrase, signifying the barrier between parents and children. But what has caused the harrier, why do people living together disagree with each other? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:

Who Has Dug the Generation Gap?
Since its invention, the phrase generation gap has spread all over the world in almost an instant. In the past few decades, although human beings are striping toward some common goals, the gap between parents and children seems to be widening. It is high time that we thought about the cause of this prevailing trouble.
The most important reason is that parents and children hold different values. / With the constant development of technology, social values are also undergoing continuous changes. Because parents and children belong to quite different times, they naturally belong to different value groups, and this in turn leads to the barrier between different generations. / For example, our parents living in the 196f1s think that people should cherish their membership in their groups, and should adapt themselves to their groups, but we emphasize individual values and are ready to leave our getups at any moment in search of a better one. It is unlikely for people holding different values to agree on everything in life, the harrier is, therefore, also unavoidable.
Another important reason for the generation barrier is lack of communication. A good talk can sometimes dissolve the disagreement between people with different values, but the trouble is that there is not enough communication. With the ever increas ing pressure in work and life, parents are spending less et}ort and lime with children; and the children, faced with heavy study load yr various distractions, such as TV plays and computer games are also spending less time with their parents. This results in a Pack, or an inability, of communication when it is necessary.
Besides these two general reasons, there may he sane special casts. According to a recent report, about 5 percent of generation gap results from irresponsible parents, especially those without good education, tend to evade the duty of raising and caring for their children. The same report also repeals shat about 3 percent of the problem results from problematic children who
consistently refused parents' help. This type of cases represent only small portion, but the problem is often more serious.
In a word, except for some special cases, barriers come into being either because the two parties involved embrace too different values or because they are not talking to each other often enough. After ending out the reason, we may know that it is wrong to blame parents or children for the barrier, and we should mainly encourage communication, for if parents and children can talk to eaci3 other more, barrier will have less opportunity to stay.

Flea market can be found on almost every campus. Although same self new products in these markets, mast students go there to se11 used articles, such as textbooks, test preparation materials, dictionaries, CDs. This has aroused different reactions. Some view it as a meaningful method to dispose of things no longer useful, but some others, especially teachers, view it as a symbol of decreased cherish of relationship. What is your opinion about getting rid of used thins in this way? Writing a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:
My Opinion on Campus Flea Market

As we university students progress from one grade la another, we may find that besides ether things, we have accumulated a large pile of things drat is no longer useful, for example, textbooks, test preparation materials, tapes and CDs. How to deal wish pile is really a big problem. Some throw them away, sane prepare to keep them as souvenirs, and some sell them in Ilea market on campus. I find the last choice is the best one, because flea market actually can bring many benefits.
Flea market has much to offer for sellers. / Obviously it can help the sellers get same money. By selling things that are no longer needed, they can cover some of the original cost. This can be of much importance to students who do not have their own income. / Last semester I sold about 30 books in the flea market, and the money was enough to cover my food billing for almost a month. / Besides,selling things away in flea market can also help sellers cultivate a good habit of making the fullest use of their belongings. This will prevent them from throwing things away at will, thus becoming a thrifty person.
If it just benefits the sellers, the flea market cannot be so prosperous. In fact, the buyers also stand to gain a lot. 1 Things sold in this place are usually much cheaper than the new ones in stores, but the function is almost the same. if they buy their textbooks and other reference books here, they can save about 200 yuan every semester. l It is said that second- hand hook stores are very popular in foreign countries, and many students from poor families finish their college by getting most of Gooks there. Here in China there are also many students troubled by financial difficulty. 1f
university authority van organize a regular market, many poor students will find it easier to Knish their university.
The third benefit, which is usually neglected, is the positive influence on environment. / This may sound irrelevant, but in fact, whoa we are using used products, we can help save paper, save printing materials, and this can greatly decrease the negative impact on the already fragile enviornent. / what’s more, if we develop the habit of reusin g products, we can offer our contribution to the esta6iishing of a recycling economy drat the government is advocating. Experts estimated that if all textbooks in universities non be used once again, we can save about l00 million yuan in environment protection. This fully demonstrates the social significance of the tiny market place.
Therefore, if well managed, the flea markets on campus can benefit the sellers, the buyers and the whole society as well. Of course, we should not sell everything used, for some of them may become valuable souvenirs all our life. It will be a pity if you graduate empty handed. But as for those things that we pan get rid of, we should carry it to the flea market rather than the dustbin.

My Opinion on Forced Retirement
Before the reform and opening up in 1980s, everything in China was planned by the governmerrt. People in towns and cities were assigned a job after graduation, and would retire at fix age. Now about a quarter of century later, great changes have taken place in China, but the policy of forced retirement remains unchanged. This naturally causes much debate. In my opinion, forced retirement is not really suitable for the contemporary society.
Firstly, forced retirement may lead to much waste of energy and expertise. / At the age set for retirement, that is, 55 year old far women and 60 for men, moss are still at the best state in terms of job performance. By this time, mast of them may have worked for about 30years, and this gives。
