2011年口试真题
2011年真题Task I: Retelling a storyBryan was driving home one evening, after a day of job hunting. He had been unemployed for two months. Thinking of his pregnant wife, still working to feed the family, he was very depressed. Suddenly he saw an old woman standing alone near a car. Obviously something was wrong with her car and she needed help. Bryan pulled up and got out of his car. The old lady was so cold that she couldn't even speak. She had probably been waiting here for hours, since not many people were out in this chilly snowy night. He said, "I'm here to help. Why don't you wait in my car where it's warm? I'll take a look at your car." Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an elderly person, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car and changed the tire quickly. But when he stood up, he found his new suit covered with dirty snow. The grateful woman asked him how much she owed him. Any amount of money would have been all right with her. Bryan was surprised. He never thought about money. Still in a sad mood about his unemployment and his new suit, he told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person some help. Then Bryan and the old lady drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to take something warm. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile. The lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. What a nice girl. The old lady said to herself. Then she remembered Bryan. After she finished her meal, she left quickly, placing four 100-dollar bills and a note on the napkin. "You don't owe me anything. When you see someone who needs help, do the same." The girl couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the money. Thinking of her poor husband, she couldn't help calling home. "Bryan, can you guess what happened to me today?"(373 words)Task II: Talking based on a given topicTalk about an experience you've had of kindness shown by a stranger,Task III: Role-playingStudent A: Yale law professor Amy Chua's child-raising memoir Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has recently captured global attention.

Shenzhen, 15 May 2008Speech by Juergen Boos, Director of the Frankfurt Book FairAt the opening of the 4th International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF), China, 16-19 May 2008I am extremely honoured to be here today for the opening of the fourth International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen, the largest fair of its kind in China. And I congratulate the aspiration of the People’s Republic of China to improve the international marketing and promotion of the Chinese culture. All around the world, people are curious to get to know China better. They are not only interested in the economical and political aspects of the Asian Giant, but also its culture.The Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen is an international platform for culture in all its many aspects – digital media are just as much at home here as print products, dance and folk art, calligraphy and literature. For the first time this year, an entire hall has been dedicated to international exhibitors, emphasising the increased importance China places on international contacts.The topic I would like to focus on today is how to market culture internationally. Because that is exactly what the Frankfurt Book Fair has been doing ever since our reestablishment 60 years ago, after the Second World War. The title of my presentation is: ―Creating the Best International Platform for t he Chinese Book and Media Industry‖. I must admit this is not a difficult task for me. Because in 2009, China will be the Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest fair for content and media. In my opinion, that is a fantastic opportunity for the presentation of China’s culture and literature to the world. Together with this year’s Summer Olympics and the World Expo planned for 2010 in Shanghai, China is in an extraordinary position to demonstrate all the many facets of its culture to the world.The Frankfurt Book Fair is unique because there is no other place in the world which brings together so many international publishers, writers, critics and other publishing professionals. More than 7,000 exhibitors from over 100 countries around the world present their products at our Fair–on 172,000 square metres of exhibition space. And approximately 180,000 trade visitors come to Fair every year from every corner of the world.The attention of the international media is turned to the Guest of Honour for five days in October. Because the Book Fair is such a huge cultural event. There are about 2,700 individual events which take place during the Fair, in the Fair buildings themselves as well as around the city of Frankfurt. Events which traditionally attract around 283,000 visitors. Already several weeks before the fair, the media in Germany begin to focus on the Guest of Honour.Numerous independent events draw attention to the country’s literature and culture. Events which range from readings and discussions on literature, politics and history – to theatre and dance performances, exhibitions, films and concerts. There are often special conferences offered about the visiting country and even special courses at community education centres.The success story of the Frankfurt Book Fair clearly proves that culture and commerce cango hand in hand. On this note, I would like to wish you all a very successful time during the International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen. And I am looking forward to the Guest of Honour presentation of China in 2009!【主会场】法兰克福书展主席岳根·博思先生在中国（深圳）国际文化产业高峰论坛上的演讲（中英文稿）尊敬的各位贵宾，尊敬的各位来宾：我很高兴今天来参加第四届中国（深圳）国际文化产业博览交易会——这个中国最大的文化产业博览会的开幕式。

2011英语口语考试题目提纲
1、Are you hesitant about revealing your identity when you chat on the Internet?Why? When it comes to chatting on the Internet,I am certainly hesitant about revealing my identity. As a starter, I won’t use my real name when chatting online because an alias will prevent someone from pulling up your life history from Google. It is quite easy to link real names with address and other pieces of information. Besides,I don't include my email address as well. The more you reveal about yourself, the easier it is for people to track you down. Every bit of information that you tell someone about yourself is a puzzle piece that can easily be linked with other details to create a clearer picture of who you are.So,if you are an adult and have a teenager or even younger child at home, you must stress these safety rules with them to protect not only them, but also the rest of your family.2、What qualities must a person have to make big money?There are quiet a few wealthy people around us, their process of relentless struggle for their dreams has been putting positive influence on us for every single moment.In my opinon,if a person want to make big money,he must have qualities as follows: First, he must be talent and have abundant knowledge. Second, he must be popular enough to make more friends covering every fields. Besides,he must have good communication abilities to establish good relationship. Last but not least,he must grasp the very opportunities which is not easy to come at the right time and take good advantages of them to make big money.3、Do you think money can bring happiness? Why or why not?Well, I don't think money can bring people greater happiness.Maybe you will say that if we don't have money we can do nothing , and we can not buy what we want .If we don't have money what we can do is only to work work work,or we don't survive.May be so,we really can do few things without money.But do not only think that aspect.Although money can bring what we need in physical ,such as clothes ,something to eat,and so on,then what about the mental need,money can't satisfy it,at least money can't buy real love and other mental things. I think money is needed,but money is not everything.So I think that money may make us happy but it can't make us feel greater happiness.And this is just what I think .Thank you!4、Would you like to be a housewife/househusband after you receive higher education?Why or why not?Well,as a matter of fact,I wouldn't like to be a housewife or a househusband (after I receive higher education).Since I am a medical student, I prefer to be a successful surgeon(外科医生),because working in the hospital I can not only use what I've learnt at school,but also learn lots of things that school couldn't manage.It can improve my social intercourse(社交礼仪) and I can also earn money for my family to prove that I’m successful .But if I was a housewife/househusband,I would be just busy doing housework all day.I think it's boring to do that.5、What are the most common kinds of addiction around you?How do they affect people’s life?Nowadays,computer is considered to be one of the most common kind of addictions in human history.It has influence on every aspect of our daily life as a result of the development of computer.A computer works much faster and accurately.Of course,science fictions have made up many fascinating stories about a computer,or robot,who conquers man and the Earth,even the whole universe;however,they are only unrealistc imaginations.With the widespread of computer network and technologies,more and more people are getting hooked on the Internet and becomes slaves to Internetchat rooms or games.The computer addiction results in disrupted marriages,childhook delinquency,crime and over-spending.The future for the computer is very promising.With the help of it,we can do things that could not be done before.However,we must notice and minimize its negative effects.6、What kind of pets do you like?Why?I like to keep cats as pet.I used to have a cat.Everyday I played with the cat when my parents were at work.Wherever I went,I would bring the cat with me.We were really good friends.But now I don't have any of them any more. I gave my cat to my neighbour,because I'm very busy with my studies.Keeping the cat took too much time and attention from me.If I had some time in the future,I surely would keep a cat again.7、Is it only a fad(一时流行的狂热) or an irresistible（不可抵抗的）trend for foreign people to learn Chinese?Why?Nowadays,with the rapid development of China’s economy and social status,Chinese, our mother tongue,tends to be popular. Honestly, Chinese is hard to learn for foreigners, but as China getting stronger in the world, learning Chinese is becoming an irresistible thing more ang more for better international communications.Moreover,China has such a huge population that there are too many opportunities in this developing market which requires Chinese language skills and if you want the job, you gona learn some Chinese more or less. Even if now learning Chinese is a fad to some extent, there is still obviously an irresistible trend to learn Chinese for foreign people for an easy and better life in China.8、Is stress always bad for people?Why or why not？In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.9、Please talk about the negative effect and the positive effect of tests.Nowadays, examinations and tests seem to be pushing students and their teachers harder than ever.On one hand, in an exam-oriented country, teachers in schools wouldn't usually be expected to teach anything other than that set by the standard curriculum, which could narrow the views of the students and the way they think about the world.On the other hand,as no way of examining one's abilities more objective than tests is yet invented, tests, however,remain an important role in the process of education. What is now needed to be done is that a balance should be made between tests and general learning, where exams can bring the most benefits and the least adverse effect(副作用).proper emphasis on testing today is definitely necessary and could have a positive influence on students and teachers.10、Which do you prefer,Chinese movies or foreign movies?Why？I enjoy seeing foreign movies. I can improve my English through watching them. In addition, watching foreign movies can take my mind off to a distant land. The outlandish setting often excites me, and the different values tend to give me much food for thought. However, occasionally, I do enjoy some Chinese movies, even though they cannot yet compete with Western movies in filming technology. I do hope the next generation of Chinese movies will make further improvement.。
2011年英语专八作文真题及答案
2011年英语专八作文真题及答案全文共10篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hi guys, today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English for Specific Purposes (ESP) exam question and answer. It was a real tough one, let me tell you!The question was all about the impact of technology on our lives. We had to write an essay discussing whether technology has made our lives better or worse. Well, that was a tricky one for sure!I wrote about how technology has made things so much easier for us. Like, we can chat with our friends online, or watch videos on our phones, or even study for exams using the internet. It's like a whole new world out there!But then I also talked about how technology can be a bit... well, overwhelming sometimes. Like, we're always staring at our screens and not really living in the moment. And there's all this fake news and stuff online that can be pretty dangerous.In the end, I said that technology is both a blessing and a curse. We just have to be careful and use it wisely, you know?So yeah, that's my take on the 2011 ESP exam question. It was a real challenge, but I think I nailed it! Thanks for listening, guys!篇2Yo yo yo, what's up my homies! Today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English Pro level eight test essay question and answer. So like, sit back, relax, and let's get into it!Alright, so the essay question was all about how technology has changed our lives. Like, super deep stuff, right? And we had to talk about the good and bad sides of it. So here's what's up:On the one hand, technology has totally revolutionized the way we do things. Like, we can talk to peeps from all over the world with just a few clicks. It's like magic, man! Plus, we can learn stuff super fast with all the info on the internet. No need for those boring old encyclopedias anymore. And don't even get me started on how easy it is to shop online. Like, I can get all the latest toys without even leaving my house. It's lit!But, like, there's a downside too. We're always glued to our screens, right? Like, instead of playing outside or hanging with our friends, we're stuck on our phones or tablets. Plus, there's all this cyberbullying and fake news going around. It's like, is anyone even real anymore? And what's with all the hackers trying to steal our info? Not cool, man.So, in conclusion, technology is like a double-edged sword. It's super awesome and convenient, but we gotta remember to take breaks and not let it take over our lives. We gotta stay woke, my dudes!Alright, that's it for today! Stay cool and keep it real, my peeps! Peace out!篇3Yo! Guys, let me tell you about the English Specialist Test 8 in 2011. It was like super tough, but don't worry, I got all the answers for you!So, the essay question was like "Should parents be strict with their children?" and I was like woah, that's a big question. But I think it's important to have rules and discipline, you know, to teach us right from wrong and make sure we grow up to be responsible adults.First of all, parents need to set boundaries to keep us safe and help us learn how to behave. Like, if we're not allowed to play with fire, it's because they don't want us to get hurt. And if they say we have to do our homework before we can watch TV, it's because they want us to do well in school.But at the same time, parents should also be loving and supportive. They need to listen to us and understand our feelings, even when we mess up. They shouldn't be too strict or mean, because that can make us feel bad about ourselves and rebel against them.I think it's all about finding a balance. Parents should be strict when they need to be, but also be kind and caring. That way, we can learn from our mistakes and grow up to be independent and confident.So yeah, in conclusion, I think parents should be strict with us, but also show us love and understanding. That way, we can become the best versions of ourselves. Yay for awesome parents!And that's it, folks! Hope you enjoyed my little recap of the 2011 English Specialist Test 8. Stay cool and keep studying hard! Peace out!篇4Hey guys, do you want to know about the 2011 English Special Eight exam? Well, let me tell you all about it!The 2011 English Special Eight exam had a really difficult topic about the impact of technology on the environment. The question asked us to discuss whether technology was helping or hurting the environment. It was a tough topic because we had to think about how things like cars and computers can be good but also bad for the environment.In the exam, we had to write an essay arguing either for or against the idea that technology is helping the environment. I chose to argue that technology is actually hurting the environment because I think things like factories and cars are causing pollution and global warming.I had to come up with lots of reasons and examples to support my argument. I talked about how cars release harmful gases into the air and how factories dump waste into rivers and oceans.

Let me tell you all about it!So, the topic of the PET writing test in 2011 was about the environmental problems caused by plastic pollution. The question asked us to discuss the effects of plastic pollution on the environment and suggest some possible solutions to this problem.In the essay, we needed to describe how plastic pollution is harming our planet, like how it is affecting marine life, polluting the oceans, and causing health problems for animals and humans. We also had to come up with some ideas to reduce the use of plastic and find alternatives to plastic products.For example, we could talk about using reusable bags instead of plastic ones, buying products in bulk to reduce packaging waste, and supporting businesses that useeco-friendly materials. We could also mention the importance of recycling plastic and educating others about the impact of plastic pollution.In the end, we had to conclude our essay by emphasizing the urgency of the problem and calling for action to protect the environment from further damage. We needed to show ourpassion for environmental conservation and inspire others to join the fight against plastic pollution.Overall, the key to acing the PET writing test in 2011 was to write a well-structured essay with clear arguments, relevant examples, and persuasive solutions. It was important to demonstrate our English language skills, critical thinking abilities, and creativity in addressing a global issue like plastic pollution.So, that's a brief summary of the 2011 PET writing test topic and answer. I hope you found it helpful and interesting. If you have any questions or want to know more about the English PET test, feel free to ask me! Keep practicing your English skills and do your best in the exam. Good luck!篇7Hello everyone! Today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English Proficiency Test (EPT) for middle schoolers. It's like a super hard English test that some students take to show how good they are at English.The EPT has lots of different parts, like reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It's kinda like a big challenge to see if you know English really well. But don't worry, I'll tell you all about it!In the reading part, you have to read a bunch of passages and answer questions about them. Sometimes the passages are about history, science, or even fiction stories. You gotta be really good at understanding what you read and answering the questions correctly.Then there's the writing part, where you have to write essays or short answers to questions. You gotta make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect, and that your ideas make sense. It's a real test of your writing skills.Next up is the listening part, where you have to listen to conversations or lectures and answer questions. This part can be hard because you have to pay close attention and remember what you hear. But if you practice listening to English every day, you'll be a pro at this part!Finally, there's the speaking part, where you have to talk about a topic or have a conversation with the examiner. You gotta be confident and speak clearly so that the examiner can understand you. It's like having a chat with a friend, but you gotta use fancy English words!Overall, the EPT is a big challenge, but it's also a great way to show off your English skills. If you study hard and practice everyday, you can totally ace the EPT and impress everyone with your English abilities. Good luck!篇8Hey guys, do you want to hear about the 2011 English Major Band 8 test? It was totally crazy! The topic was all about globalization. So basically, they asked us to write an essay about how globalization affects different aspects of our lives. It was like, whoa, so deep!In my essay, I talked about how globalization has made the world more connected. Like, now we can talk to people from all over the world on the internet and stuff. It's so cool! But then I also mentioned how some people think globalization is bad because it can like, wipe out local cultures and stuff. It was kinda hard to write about both sides of the argument, but I think I did okay.Oh, and there was also a listening part where they played this recording about environmental issues. It was so sad, you guys! They talked about all the pollution and deforestation happening in the world. I felt really sorry for the animals and stuff. I hope we can do something to help the environment.And then, the reading part was about technology and how it's changing our lives. They had these really tough passages about artificial intelligence and robots. It was like reading a science fiction story! But I think I understood most of it.Overall, the test was super hard, but I think I did my best. I hope I can get a good score and pass the Band 8 test. Fingers crossed!篇9Hey guys, today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English Band Eight exam. It was a super tough test for all the big kids who wanted to show off their English skills. But don't worry, with a little bit of practice and some tips, you can ace this exam too!The essay question in the 2011 exam was all about discussing the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city versus living in a small town. You had to write about the pros and cons of each place and give your opinion on which one you think is better.Some of the advantages of living in a big city are that there are lots of job opportunities, cool things to do like shopping and going to fancy restaurants, and the chance to meet people from all over the world. On the other hand, big cities can be supercrowded, noisy, and expensive. Plus, you might have to deal with traffic jams and pollution.Living in a small town has its perks too. It's usually quieter, safer, and you can really get to know everyone in your community. But small towns can be boring, with not much to do and limited job opportunities. Plus, everyone knowing your business can sometimes feel like too much.In your essay, you had to weigh up these pros and cons and then give your own opinion on whether you'd rather live in a big city or a small town. The key to acing this part of the exam was to use lots of examples and reasons to support your argument. Make sure you write clearly and use good grammar too!So, even though the 2011 English Band Eight exam was a tough one, with some practice and preparation, you can totally rock it. Just remember to stay calm, stay focused, and show off all the awesome English skills you've got!Good luck, guys! You've got this!篇10Hey guys, today I'm going to talk about the 2011 English CET-8 (College English Test - Band 8) writing task. It was a tough one, but let's break it down together!The topic was about the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on our lives. We were asked to discuss both the benefits and potential risks of AI technology.First of all, let's talk about the good stuff. AI has definitely made our lives easier in many ways. For example, AI technology is used in virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, making it easier for us to find information and complete tasks hands-free. AI also helps in healthcare, by assisting doctors in diagnosing diseases and recommending treatment options.However, there are also some risks associated with AI. One major concern is job displacement, as AI and automation could replace many human workers in various industries. There are also ethical concerns, such as the development of autonomous weapons and the potential for AI to be used for malicious purposes.In my opinion, it's important for us to continue developing AI technology, but we must also be mindful of the potential risks and take steps to mitigate them. Education and training programs can help prepare people for the changing workforce,and regulations can be put in place to ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly.Overall, the development of AI has the potential to benefit society in many ways, but we must also be cautious and proactive in addressing the challenges it presents. Let's embrace the future of technology, but let's do so thoughtfully and responsibly.That's all for today, folks! Thanks for tuning in to my little chat about the 2011 CET-8 writing task. Remember, stay curious and keep learning! See ya next time!。

2011年专八作文真题
2011年专八作文真题The 2011 CET-8 (College English Test Level 8) writing prompt was a controversial topic that required candidates to discuss the impact of the rapid development of technology on people's lives. This issue has been a hot topic for years and has sparked heated debates among people from different walks of life. The rapid advancement of technology has brought about significant changes to the way we live, work, and communicate. It has both positive and negative impacts on our lives, and it is essential to examine this issue from multiple perspectives.From an optimistic point of view, the rapid development of technology has greatly improved our lives in many aspects. The internet, for example, has revolutionized the way we access information, communicate with others, and conduct business. It has made the world a smaller place and has connected people from different corners of the globe. Moreover, technological advancements in medicine have led to the development of life-saving treatments and cures forvarious diseases, significantly improving the quality of life for many individuals. Additionally, technology has also made significant contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development, with the development of renewable energy sources and eco-friendly products.On the other hand, the rapid development of technology has also brought about various challenges and drawbacks. One of the most significant concerns is the impact of technology on employment. With the rise of automation and artificial intelligence, many traditional jobs are being replaced by machines, leading to unemployment and economic instability for many individuals. Furthermore, the excessive use of technology, such as smartphones and social media, has led to various social and psychological issues, including addiction, cyberbullying, and a decline in face-to-face communication. Additionally, the rapid advancement of technology has also raised concerns about privacy and security, as data breaches and cyber-attacks have become increasingly common.From a personal perspective, the rapid development of technology has had a profound impact on my life. On one hand, technology has made many aspects of my life more convenient and efficient. I can easily communicate with friends and family, access information, and complete tasks with the help of various technological devices and applications. However, I have also experienced the negative effects of technology, such as the addictive nature of social media and the constant pressure to stay connected and updated. It is essential for individuals to find a balance and use technology mindfully to avoid its negative impacts on their lives.In conclusion, the rapid development of technology has undoubtedly brought about significant changes to our lives, both positive and negative. It is crucial for us to carefully examine and understand the impacts of technology from multiple perspectives, and to use it in a way that enhances our lives without compromising our well-being. As we continue to embrace technological advancements, it is important to address the challenges and drawbacks that comewith it, and to work towards creating a harmonious relationship between technology and humanity.。
2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文
2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文Felix2011年雅思考试题目及参考范文2011.1.8Some people think that robots are very important for humans' future development. Others, however, think that robots are a dangerous invention that could have negative effects on society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.For centuries, people have fantasized that someday robots could have intelligence like mankind and work as faithful servants. Today this dream has come true in many fields thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence researches. However, the issue of the wide application of robots can be deemed as beneficial as detrimental.On the one hand, there is no denying that robots bring about an array of positive aspects, such as high work efficiency and low work risk. First, the workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes, which allows individuals to be involved in other activities. Second, it is widely acknowledged that robots could do dangerous jobs instead of people in high risk businesses like mining and construction; therefore, a host of people’s safety can be ensured to a considerable degree.On the other hand, a great number of people hold an opposite opinion, asserting there are numerous demerits which should not be neglected. To begin with, people lose jobs when machines take their places, especially in the mass production industry such as automobile business. In factories of the famous carcompany Ford, almost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision. As a consequence, employees will have great pressure. Admittedly, there are indeed some occupations that robots might perform much better than human beings, but they cannot work in a flexible way as people do, and they are less likely to make corresponding changes once something unexpected happens. Then human beings’ supervision tends to become imperative.Taking all factors into account, robots have many merits that make our life easier and more convenient, but workers may suffer from unemployment stress. (292 words2011.1.15Nowadays, some workplaces tend to employ equal numbers of men and women workers. Do you think it is a positive or negative development? The gender imbalance has long been a general phenomenon in the labour market. Some analysts argue that it is impossible to eliminate the underrepresentation of women in job markets, while others propose that women should be entitled the same opportunity to be engaged in a position. The essay will compare these two opinions before giving my own opinion.From some people’s point of view, the practice that equal numbers of male and female workers should be employed is unreasonable. First, the packed-schedule of certain positions is likely to make women so busy with their jobs that their family life is neglected. Another point is that it is much easier for female workers to be influenced by marriage and motherhood, and their jobs are often interrupted by daily domestic events. To keep the continuity of work, employers are more inclined to put male workers into their top priority. Opponents of this issue hold that the positive aspects of the practice are more influential. First of all, employing equal numbers of male and female workers can help create positive working environment, for it is usually the case that men or women perform less aggressive in the face of the opposite gender. Second, there is a large possibility that men and women workers bring their respective talents into full play since men are more determined and less likely to be affected by external influence and women are generally more careful and patient. Finally, the move could be regarded as a sign of equality, for in many workplaces, employers used to limit the numbers of women workers and welcome a substantial percentage of males to join them. The practice that equal numbers of men and women workers are accepted indicates the realisation of women’s value.To sum up, it does bring drawbacks to some workplaces if equal numbers of men and women workers are employed, but this cannot deny the benefits of the practice. This essay is inclined to maintain that equal numbers of male andfemale workers can be employed in the same workplace given that there is a rational division of labour, with all employees developing their own particular advantages for mutual benefits.(360 words)2011.1.22Nowadays some people have the anti-social behaviors such as committing crimes. What are the reasons? Who should take responsibility for dealing with it?A dramatic rise in crime rate during the past several years has become a major concern among the public. It is urgent to identify the underlying root causes and adopt proactive approaches.A variety of factors are responsible for the surge of anti-social behaviors such as committing crimes. The predominant factor resulting in this problem is the lack of education. People who fail their school or know little about laws have a much higher likelihood of committing crimes. Excessive exposure to violence is another cause that leads to anti-social behaviors , especially the juvenile delinquency. Without the proper parental guide, some young adults will probably become addicted to the Internet and become heavy net users. Some contents are contaminated by online violence and pornography, which is closely linked to youngsters’ aggressive behaviors.Accordingly, the crime prevention requires the joint efforts from both the government and parents. The government should increase its intervention, including launching public anti-crime campaigns, enforcing new laws and popularizing education. A civilized society is characterized by a high literacy rate and a low crime rate. The negative relationship between these two parameters implies that one will be away from a life of crime if given the access to education. To tackle youth crimes, parents should play a more supportive and loving role, attaching more importance to their children’s emotional needs, limiting their access to unfavorable contents on the Internet, and creating more interesting after-school entertainment.As suggested above, this unpleasant phenomenon can be attributed to several factors, including poor education and lack of parental supervision. The government should take more effective measures to curb crimes and parents are supposed to give correct instructions to their children.(279words)2011.1.27Some people think that it is necessary to travel abroad to learn about other countries, but other people think that it is not necessary to travel abroadbecause all the information can be seen on television and the Internet. Discuss both opinions and give your own opinion.There is a new trend that an increasing number of people choose to travel overseas to form a global perspective. This issue is full of controversy, with concerns being expressed over whether it is necessary to go overseas to know more about other countries, since all the information can be gained through either television or the Internet.A serial of benefits can be brought by traveling abroad to learn about a different country. Initially, it is a memorable life experience that we cannot acquire in our domestic country. As a result, only in real life contexts can people comprehend the culture, customs, or its people etc. Sound as the above statement seems, there are still a group of people holding the view that there is no need to travel abroad. The main factor is that the advanced technology, such as televisions, the Internet, can provide people with almost any information about other places. However, it is unpractical to rely on the media excessively to get any news they want to obtain. Spreading rumors on the Internet are always happening around us. Therefore, only when we experience them personally, can we confirm the accuracy of the information.To sum up, it is imperative for people to travel overseas to learn different nations. Televisions and the Internet are, to some extent, a feasible way to obtain information, but the real experience of traveling abroad largely outweighs the dependence on the media to learn about a different country.(245words)2011.2.12Tourism is an excellent way to develop country, but it also can cause some harm. How can a country ensure tourism benefit the development? The market of international tourism is flourishing as never before and is playing a vital part in the development of one country. However, this booming is accompanied by the soaring number of tourists, which may bring about a substantial number of demerits. Therefore, how to guarantee the sustainable development of tourism and develop our tourism vigorously will be analyzed in this essay.The merits of tourism to one country’s development are beyond doubt. For one thing, tourism can attract a host of foreigners to visit and consume during the tour. For another, the excellent impression of the places of interests will enhance one country’s international image and then stimulate international investments in not only tourism but also other essential sections. Meanwhile, the demerits of unguided tourism can never be ignored and will be represented as follows. First, a sizeable percentage of people may pose a threat to the historical buildings. Second, trash produced in an astonishing amount goes with the super large flow of people, particularly during the peak tourist time. Third, a vast number of people flood into one place, whichaggravates the traffic pressure greatly, contributing too much inconvenience to the local dwellers.To handle above problems and ensure tourism can attract people continuously and benefit economy development, the following methods are strongly suggested. Initially, government should pay close attention to the protection and renovation of historical buildings. Subsequently, the awareness of environmental conservation should be strongly strengthened among the public, therefore efficient environmental campaigns are inevitable. Ultimately, reasonable distribution and improvement of transport facilities should be put on table.(262words)2011.2.17Some believe creative artists should be supported financially by government of their county, but some others suggest creative artists find finance support in other sources instead. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.Arts play a significant role in individuals’ lives. It is widely acknowledged that sufficient investment for artists is necessary if people strive to develop arts. However, whether the government should support them financially or they should find support from other sources arouses a contentious argument.On the one hand, it brings about a wide range of blessings for the government to give financial aids to creative artists. First, the artistic level is more likely to get a promotion with stable fund guarantee. As a result, creative artists can be fully dedicated to their jobs. Second, considering the great significance and profits that arts generate for the nation, for instance, providing numerous products and designs that drive innovation and shape a state’s cultural character, the government should encourage the development of arts with financial assistance.On the other hand, people hold an opposite point of view, asserting that creative artists should gain financial aids from other resources. To begin with, compared with other employees earning money by themselves, creative artists are supposed to strive for the financial support from other sources by their own efforts rather than depend on the taxpayer’s expenses. Furthermore, finding financial support on their own allows creative artists to have enough pressure to motivate themselves, producing great works. Most importantly, in many industries, such as advertising, design, trade show，creative artists are always in shortage. As a result, it is not too hard to access the supply of fund if they have qualified works.As suggested above, financial support from the government indeed generates an array of benefits for creative artists. However, the real creative artists are someone who work with their own strengths to obtain sponsorships, instead of relying on the government.(287 words)2011.2.19Some people think that women should play an equal role as men in military force or police force; others say women are not suited for such kind of work. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.Over the past several years, the change in women’s participation in nearly every walk of life has been beyond people’s wildest expectations. However, a heated debate with regard to whether women should play an equal role as men in military force or police force has arisen, which draws enormous attention from the public.On the one hand, some people assert that since the society consists of nearly equal numbers of both genders, sex discrimination must be eliminated and ladies can make the same amount of contribution to the police force and military force. The first standpoint is that females have inborn merits standing them in good stead. They are less likely to commit faults, for they are good at tackling matters with accuracy and caution. In addition, another impressive and prominent personality trait is that females have great endurance of hardships, especially under grueling conditions, and their tenderness allows them to excel in positions involving interaction and communication with human personnel.Notwithstanding their strengths, females have some limitations they may need to overcome. One obstacle which cannot be ignored is the social attitude. Females have to cope with the pressure exerted by their families, acquaintances or friends, as serving the army is widely seen as a deadly job which is exclusively for males. The other one is females’ physical and mental qualifications. It is commonly known that homicides and robbers are mostly strong, fierce and cruel, and policewomen are more likely to become victims rather than bring them to justice. Also, it seems to be true that military training and the war field could be too intense and sometimes brutal, far beyond the limits of ordinary women’s physical and mental levels.In conclusion, females should be viewed as equal to males in the defense force and their presence should be encouraged. Nature gives different attributes to both men and women, which is supposed to optimize the productivity and efficiency of the society, rather than cause gender discrimination.(327 words)2011.2.26Countries should try to produce all the food that population eats and import food as little as possible. To what extent do you agree or disagree?There has been a steady increase in the demand for importing food throughout the world in recent years. There are indications that this trade activity has brought various benefits, but importing food is very often criticized as unnecessary and extravagant, especially when air freight is involved.It is important to note that importing food is becoming increasingly popular among the general population. This is mainly due to the fact that countries differ in their product structures because of dissimilar natural resources, climates and geographic features. By adopting an enlightened policy and promoting trade activities with other countries, a country can facilitate the exchange of goods, services and capitals with the rest of the world and promote economic development. However, some countries might become addicted to importing and overlook the possibility of developing a self-contained economy. Government funding in the scientific research can make it possible to achieve a breakthrough on the scarcity of resource and increase the yield, thereby resolving the food supply crisis.Moreover, countries in our planet vary in terms of their resource distributions, climatic conditions and topography, which, to a large extent, affects their population as well as the food production. The imbalance between the capability of producing food and the food consumption makes it hard for a country to produce all the food to meet its people’s requirements.As suggested above, it is unpractical for every nation to supply all the food that the population need, and under favorable conditions, import of food ought to be encouraged. (251words)2011.3.5Some people believe governments should spend money in saving languages of few speakers from dying out completely. Others think this is a waste of financial resources. Discuss both views and give your opinion.Of the thousands of languages in use now, some are used by a huge number of people, like English and Chinese, while some others only have very few speakers. With the increasing efforts of the international community to save those languages used by few speakers, a debate as to whether governments should take measures to save them has arisen.Supporters of governments’ efforts to save the languages verging on extinction hold that any effort made to preserve a language is well worthwhile. As is known to all, each language is loaded with an enormous cultural heritage, reflecting the knowledge, thought and faith of its speakers. Preserving a language which is dying out, we conserve the cultural diversity; losing a language, we lose a cultural heritage. Rare animals cannot be wiped out just because they are few, and old buildings of historical value cannot be pulleddown owing to its bad condition. In the same vein, languages with few speakers cannot be abandoned to their fate.Opponents to governments’ measures to save the languages from the brink, however, claim that the efforts are nothing but a waste of money. First, preserving such languages from extinction, which needs a considerable sum of money, and lets alone substantial human resources, does not bring real benefits. The money spent in unrewarding activities, if invested in more significant undertakings such as poverty alleviation, AIDS combating, scientific researching, etc., will be greatly beneficial to man. Moreover, preserving a language is not conducive to the world peace. After all, when marooned in their own world, people become less receptive to and tolerant of things and values different from theirs, a situation which can easily rub salt against wounds and thus gives rise to antagonism and even hatred.In conclusion, my opinion is that it is worthwhile for governments to spend money saving languages with few speakers, or languages facing extinction. A language is a cultural heritage, which is invaluable and certainly merits preservation at any cost.（329words）2011.3.10In some countries, children start school at the age of seven, so they could have more time to build relationship with their parents. In othercountries, some think that children start school as young as possible. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.It is true that a substantial number of students start school at seven or later in some countries and their parents believe it is significant to establish closer relationship with their children. Conversely, some people from other countries are in favour of the idea that the earlier schooling, the better relationship with parents. Personally, I intend to support the later opinion.A sizeable percentage of people, especially in the developing countries, are convinced that children should be educated in their early age at home to form a strong connection with their parents. For one thing, such a close connection can enhance not only parents’ authority but also their influence. As young children might be affected by others, including friends and strangers, to form unpleasant behaviour, parents must guide their children to distinguish the good from the bad authoritatively. For another, the close relationship can help children to maintain the confidence to face the new things appearing in their life constantly as they know their parents can help them to deal with them if needed.However, a substantial percentage of parents in the developed countries are of the belief that it is earlier schooling instead of later one that can help the foundation of children-parents relation. For one thing, young children will definitely meet friends in the school and learn from them. Bad influence as it may exert, teachers will guide students to avoid bad influence and teach themhow to handle this problem properly. Parents can gain information immediately from teachers and communicate with their children after school, thereby forming a better relationship. For another, early schooling enables children to deal with problems on their own, and this can trigger their confidence to face challenge independently. With their growth, they will realize numerous problems cannot be handled independently, they would ask for their parents’ help, which can noticeably promote the family relationship.My view is that starting school as soon as possible can enlighten and awaken children’s awareness concerning the relationship with friends and teachers when facing problems, therefore enhancing and ensuring the parents-children relationship by handling tho se problems under parents’ instruction and suggestion.(354 words)2011.3.12Competitiveness is a positive quality for people in most societies. How does this affect individuals? Is it a positive or negative trend?It is not uncommon today that competitiveness has been penetrating into people’s everyday life and has been deemed as one of people’s essential merits. This essay tends to illustrate how individuals have been influenced bycompetitiveness and sufficient analysis over whether it is a beneficial or detrimental trend will also be demonstrated in an array of aspects.A host of people assert that it is a beneficial trend for human society in terms of the upsides it brings about, such as the economical boom and improvement of public health. In the first place, competitiveness is inclined to boost the economy at an international level. For example, as a result of the competitiveness, all companies may strive to invest a substantial number of money to produce new products for more profits, thus contributing to the convenience of people’s daily life. In the second place, it will also accelerate the betterment of public health care. As individual country will compete for improving its own citizens’ life, medical care would be thought highly of by the authorities and global death toll from diseases may largely decrease. Meanwhile, a significant number of people hold a negative view towards competitiveness. They say a sizeable percentage of people will lose jobs due to the heated competition in all areas. In this way, it is baneful for a large number of people and the government in turn will shoulder more pressure from those jobless people. They also believe fierce competition may result in deterioration of our environment. They fear that a massive proportion of factories may pursue profits at the expense of environment. Take paper-making industry for example. Factories will sacrifice acres of forests to live on in the competitive society.To sum up, I tend to believe a certain degree of competitiveness is necessarily adopted in order to have the society progress, while contentious competitiveness will inevitably spark off impairments to our life both physically and psychologically.（321words）2011.3.19Computer technologies are more accessible and cheaper, as a result, more adults work at home and children study at home. Is this a positive or negative development?As a result of the soaring advancement of technologies, the use of computer has become prevalent in people’s everyday life. For example, a substantial number of people ranging from workers to students prefer to work and study at home instead of physically sitting in the office and at school.Few would deny that learning or working through computer at home seems beneficial to people in a number of aspects. Initially, the most obvious merit can be attributed to the release of traffic jams. Since less people tend to use the public or private vehicles commuting from work or school to their home, there is a lower possibility of the incidence of traffic jams. Subsequently, it is convenient for people to work or study at home. Distance learning program is a good casein point. It is the distance learning programs through computer that largely helps people who are unable to go to school have access to education.On the contrary, a host of people oppose the opinion above. They believe working or studying at home will probably reduce the communication among colleagues and classmates. They fear that this may encourage people to be more indifferent to others, thus resulting in relationship not as close as in the past. Another consideration for those people lies with people’s physical impairments induced from sitting in front of the computer too long. Since all work needs to be done on computer, barely can people spare a minute for rest and a cup of coffee, which will inevitably hazard people health.All in all, this development can be taken as beneficial as detrimental. It is acceptable for people to work or study with computer at home for sake of the convenience it brings about, but it will also spark off health-related problems and the decrease of people’s social interaction.（304 words）2011.4.2Many people think that cheap air travel should be encouraged because it gives ordinary people the freedom to travel further. However, others think that this leads to environmental problem, and so air travel shouldbe more expensive in order to discourage people from having it. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.In today’s world, advanced transportation technology has made travelling modes more diverse than ever before. Some people prefer air travel to other ways due to taking the airplane being more comfortable and going further. They, consequently, consider that the cheaper air travel is, the more benefits ordinary people gain, while others especially campaigners for environmental protection propose that w e should limit air travel through increasing the air travel’s price. I think this is an impractical suggestion.Cheap air travel, which can benefit the less-wealthy people, is an inevitable fact of life. Because of the stagnant market and the fierce competition in the area of civil aviation companies, numerous promotion programs are offered to passengers which make air travel affordable for ordinary people. Moreover, air trips make it possible for people to travel around the world quickly and freely, which ensures the growth of modern industries such as international tourism. However, those people who insist on limiting air travel through raising tickets’ prices can reduce environment pollution have made a huge mistake. Air trips can ferry far more passengers and are also much longer than others. Therefore, when we think an increasing amount of pollution is produced by air of per passenger and kilometer travelled, the other travel mode such as a car journey is no more fuel-efficient and environment-friendly than a flight. Discouraging people to travel by air, which will cause less pollution, is a certain improper act.In conclusion, cheap air travel has become an inescapable trend. Instead of persuading people to sacrifice their comfort and convenience, we should focus on improving clean and renewable fuels and more efficient airplanes that will not put the environment in danger. (279 words)2011.4.16Many people believe it is important to protect environment, but they make no effort to do it themselves. What is the reason? Do you have any suggestion for individuals to protect environment?The issue of environmental degradation, if not solved effectively, is believed to impose a severe thr eat to people’s survival in the years ahead. The significance of protecting environment has been staggering into the public, but few people take actions to do it. The reasons will be analyzed followed by some responsible solutions.Several reasons would account for the discouragement of individuals to take few actions to protect environment. First, it is true that tiny individual actions often seem insignificant compared to the scale and complexity of environmental problems such as pollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources, so individuals choose to relieve their duty rather than do as much as they can to cope with these problems. Another obstacle which makes individual actions almost impossible is government intervention or even。
