Part I Writing (30 minutes)

should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.

My View on the Sharing Economy
In recent years, the sharing economy has gained increasing popularity and has revolutionized the way we live and do business. The sharing economy, also known as collaborative consumption, refers to the sharing of goods, services, and resources among individuals through online platforms. This trend has brought about a number of benefits to both consumers and the environment.
First and foremost, the sharing economy promotes efficiency and sustainability. By sharing resources such as cars, bikes, and accommodation, individuals can reduce waste and lower their carbon footprint. This not only benefits the environment but also saves money for consumers. Furthermore, the sharing economy provides opportunities for individuals to earn extra income by renting out their underutilized assets, such as spare rooms or idle vehicles.
Personally, I believe that the sharing economy is a positive development that fosters community and collaboration. It encourages trust and reciprocity among strangers, creating a sense of belonging and connection in an increasingly individualistic society. Additionally, the sharing economy promotes a more equitable distribution of resources and addresses issues of income inequality.
In conclusion, the sharing economy represents a shift towards a more sustainable and inclusive economic model. While there are challenges and concerns associated with this trend, such as regulatory issues and potential exploitation, I am hopeful that with proper oversight and safeguards, the sharing economy has the potential to create a more just and environmentally conscious society.

Should College Students Hold a Part-time Job?
Nowadays, more and more college students choose to hold a part-time job during their college years. Some people believe that holding a part-time job not only enables students to earn
some extra money, but also helps to cultivate their work experience and character. However, others argue that college students should focus on their studies and should not be distracted by part-time jobs. In my opinion, college students should hold a part-time job for the following reasons.
To begin with, holding a part-time job can help students gain work experience and cultivate various skills that are necessary for their future career. By working in a real-world setting, students can learn how to communicate effectively, solve problems, and work with others as a team. These practical skills are often not taught in the classroom, and can greatly benefit students in their future endeavors.
Furthermore, holding a part-time job can help students become more independent and responsible. When students have to balance their work schedule with their schoolwork, they learn time management skills and become more organized. They also learn the value of hard work and the importance of being punctual and reliable, qualities that are highly valued in the workplace.
In addition, holding a part-time job can help students develop a strong work ethic and a sense of responsibility towards their obligations. When students are held accountable
for their performance at work, they learn to take their responsibilities seriously and strive to do their best. This sense of responsibility can also extend to their academic studies, as students understand that they need to fulfill their obligations in all aspects of their life.
In conclusion, I believe that college students should hold a part-time job during their college years. By working part-time, students can gain valuable work experience, cultivate essential skills, become more independent and responsible, and develop a strong work ethic. These benefits can greatly enhance students' personal and professional growth, and prepare them for a successful future career.

Cate Blanchett: The Best Actress in Hollywood?
Whether or not Cate Blanchett is the greatest actress of her generation is up for debate. What is not up for debate is that in 2014 she received her second Academy Award for Best Actress, the first was for The Aviator in 2004, for her lead role in the Woody Allen film "Blue Jasmine". To top it off, she was also named the Most Stylish Actress in Hollywood by People magazine because she wore such fashion brands as "Armani" and "Givenchy". Yet, she still retains her status as an indie actress by maintaining a low profile between films.
Blanchett however, doesn't consider her image as being that of a chic (时髦) movie star. She calls herself "a character actress at heart. I'll go wherever the challenge is --I'm mt interested in being a movie star." She is embodied by a deep and wide range of roles throughout her career. She played the Queen o Elizabeth I twice in "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth:The Golden Age" and costarred in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (三部影片的集成体), an adaptation of the Tolkien book. She also played Queen Elizabeth V, the Virgin Queen, in "The Golden Age" (2007).
Her interpretations of classic ch abe acures from literature have also made her stand out. In 2012, she performed the role of Blanche DuBois in the Sydney Theatre Company's production of Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire". She gained
particular acclaim for that role; a critic for the Sydney Morning Herald called it "the role of her life", while another critic said she surpassed even Vivien Leigh in the role, adding, "This is Blanche as you've never seen her before.
Blanchett's interview style can be confrontational and aggressive, always involving a dash of the Australian sense of humor. She is known for more than being an actress; she is a wife and a mother; before each of her Oscar-winning performances she gave birth, and now dicbes Rabelais' "Gargantuan feast with her children. She is also known for her work with the environment and was on the Board for the Australian Conservation Foundation, which would suggest that she has a long future of Oscars and environmental awards to come.
Blanchett is a shining jewel among actresses and stars -- she is arguably the best in industry today. She just won the BAFTA Award for her role in "Blue Jasmine" and is predicted to win a handful of awards within the next month. So, is Cate Blanchett the best actress in the world? Perhaps. However, we can all agree that she is a supernova among stars.
