1.Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced? （问题分析型）

I think it is true that in almost every country today each household and family produces a large amount of waste every week. Most of this rubbish comes from the packaging from the things we buy, such as processed food. But even if we buy fresh food without packaging, we still produce rubbish from the plastic bags used everywhere to carry shopping home.

The reason why we have so much packaging is that we consume so much more on a daily basis than families did in the past. Convenience is also very important in modern life, so we buy packaged or canned food that can be transported from long distances and stored until we need it, first in the supermarket, and then at home.

However, the amount of waste produced is also a result of our tendency to use something once and throw it away. We forget that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up valuable resources and energy to produce. We also forget that it is a source of pollution and difficult to dispose of.

I think, therefore, that governments need to raise this awareness in the general public. Children can be educated about environmental issues at school, but adults need to take action. Governments can encourage such action by putting taxes on packaging, such as plastic bags, by providing recycling services and by fining households and shops that do not attempt to recycle their waste.

With the political will, such measures could really reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. Certainly nobody wants to see our resources used up and our planet poisoned by waste.

2.题目：Some people think that personal happiness is directly related to economic success. Others argue that happiness depends on completely other factors. Discuss both of the views and give your own opinion.（ Discuss 型）

In recent years, the discussion of whether personal happiness is directly associated to economic success has become a controversial issue. Notions toward it differ widely from person to person.

Some people believe that happiness is related to economic success because

only money can make people’s life more enjoyable. When it comes to economic success, the majority of people believe that money means a luxurious life. To begin with, if someone owns great success on economic,

that means he can spend more money on whatever he likes and spend more

time on his hobbies. Emotionally, money can buy happiness at least to some extent. That is to say, you can buy things that you like in order to fulfill

your needs and vanities and this makes you feel happier. You can also enjoy

the best education and social welfare. Thirdly, economic success implies

high social class and status, which can make people feel happy and respectable. (51ielts.)

Opponents, however, hold the view that happiness does not depend on economic success but completely other factors. First of all, numerous studies show that happy individuals are successful across multiple life domains, including marriage, income, work performance and health. The happiness exists not only because economic success makes people happy,

but also because positive affect engenders happiness. What’s more, It

is indisputable that there are millions of people who still have a miserable life and have to fact the dangers of starvation and exposure,

but some of them sill lead a happy life because they keep the happy spirit.

Last but not least, money can not buy everything, such as friendship, true

love and health. You can buy things corporeal, but you can never spend money to ask for more time.

In the final analysis, both sides have sound foundations. However, if asked to make a choice, I will not hesitate to assent to the latter. I firmly believe that happiness is not only related to economic success but

also links to other factors which are much more significant.
