Food safety related to people’s health and it concerns about people’s basic livelihood. Since the Sanlu Incident occur red in 2008, the entire society was increasingly concerned about food safety issue. It was in this context that the foodsafety issue has been referred to an unprecedented height.Problems leading to food safety are as follows: 1) using poor quality raw materials in the food manufacturing process;2) adding toxic substances(有毒物质); 3) excessive use offood additives(食品添加剂); 4) abusing of chemical additives and so on. There are many reasons that cause this problem. It is regulators, producers, and even consumers who share the responsibilities.As Confucius instructed: better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back (扭转)thisevil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up(制定) tougherlaws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I amfirmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.3、精彩译文从上面的卡通图片我们能够看到:一只奶牛正在向这个小宝宝解释说生产有毒奶粉不是她的错/饲养员正在给猪喂瘦肉精。

2018年雅思写作考试范文:1月18日今天三立在线教育雅思网为大家带来的是2018年雅思写作考试范文:1月18日的相关资讯,备考的烤鸭们,赶紧来看看吧!话题为:In the past, lectures were used as a way of teaching large numbers of student, but now with the development of technology for education, many people think there is no justification for attending lectures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?大学讲座授课的教育方式在现代科技发展下,很多人认为已经没有存在的合理性。

你在某种程度上同意或是不同意呢?范文:Teaching is the transfering of information from one to another. But now new technologies are being introduced to teach large number of students at the same time. I will discuss in detail why I feel the right combination of these two bring wonderful results.Education mould the individual and shape the character of a person. Teachers are professionals, who are trained to handle the students. They are not only impart academic knowledge but also moral values. Besides, they know the strength and weakness of each student and teach them accordingly, including special attention to poor academic pupils. Furthermore, for students, teacher is not only a person who help them in their studies, but also, a role model. For instance, they try to imitate dresscode, walking style, intonation and so on. Teachers guide them and teach them towards the desirable behavior in the society, like helping mentality, respect to others, time management, and so forth. These important qualities make them a good human being.However, technologies are inevitable for the betterment of our life. Computer and the Internet bring information about anything under the world in our finger tips. It is a good academic tool for students as well as teachers. To teach a large number of students over head projectors, C.D players, slides and so on, are very much helpful. It gives comfort and convenience to both teachers and pupils. At the same time, the instruction and inspiration of a person called teacher is essential to help the students to use these technologies effectively. Otherwise, students needed high determination and self-motivation, which is difficult to see in pupils, especially, young children.To conclude, technologies are beneficial to teach a large number of students. But, itself alone is not sufficient for the same. The presence of a teacher, is demanding for effective teaching and learning process. If we are able to mix these two, in a good way, it will give better results than using alone.如上就是三立网课教育小编为大家带来的2018年雅思写作考试范文:1月18日的相关资讯,掌握最新雅思资讯,敬请关注(三立在线教育雅思网)更多雅思考试资讯以及备考资料免费领!。

雅思A类大作文真题范文——来自环球雅思张嵩老师雅思A类大作文真题题目:Some people say that all young people should be required to stay in full-time education until they are at least 18 years old.To what extent do you agree or disagree?(Word count=275)雅思A类大作文真题范文:Education has always been the most experienced profession and industry in the world, anddiscussions on it have always found a new angle.Receiving full-time education prior to adulthood(18 years old as a general practice)is held as truth, which this essay almost fully roots for.It is true that continuous schooling before 18 years old benefits learners and their families.In reality, education helps as much the growth of professional skills as the development of character, both of which will most likely bring material life comforts and higher life purposes.Consequently, with personal development guaranteed, domestic situations—be they of the families individuals are from or will create—will be bettered in due course.It is also true that countries and governments will benefit from national talents.The young are the future, and thus are paid attention to by means of education.Without knowledge and skills, which are likely acquired at schools at different levels, the prospects of national advances arein jeopardy.Thus, lasting education for young people is of necessity.However, it would not be nitpicking to statethat a dozen years of education sometimes might seem only wishful.With regional differences within a country or beyond boarders, certain families are still stricken by starvation, warfare, or poverty, and their younger generation are forced out of the luxury of education at all, let alone a continuous one before the beginning of adulthood.Globally, it is not rare that children or teenagers are willingly joining the labour force to sustain family economy, or are helplessly enlisted in military forces.In sum, the statement in question shows goodwill that might be shattered by reality.以上就是环球雅思老师为大家带来的雅思A类大作文真题范文,希望大家仔细研读,值得借鉴!环球雅思祝你成功!第二篇:最新雅思G类阅读真题最新雅思G类阅读真题G类阅读一篇说员工出差的报销问题:不确定能不能报销的先找line manager(可能是其他人这个记不清了);报销要保存帐单;车票和国内国际机票国内机票只能经济舱国际的可以其他;住宿旅馆要求经常去的地区只能住单位联系的酒店有折扣其他地区3星级或多少钱以下;其他文具啥的费用怎么样忘了另一篇超市招聘长期员工,面试后给feedback,店内不让查电子邮件,要提供有住址的帐单,其他不记得了还有一篇说的几个房屋广告:楼层高的那个不适合老人和残疾人;天花板高的那个有储物空间;附近有学校的适合家庭带小孩;有一个房子下面有双车库,另一个外边有双车库是迷惑项;有个房子internal需要decorate,题目里说需要painting;另一个房子是房间已经update过了;还有一个房子是很小但是可以扩大,并且有风格特色,忘了是不是前面其中的一个。

2020年英语高考全国1卷书面表达解析及优秀范文两篇

2020年英语高考全国1卷书面表达解析及优秀范文两篇

2020年英语高考全国1卷书面表达解析及优秀范文两篇一、延续“美德”教育,寻找“生活榜样”整体来说,2020年高考英语全国卷I试题的命题原则上以考查学生“学科素养”为导向,着重考查学生的英语综合运用能力。

而“书面表达”部分的命制更加注重“真实灵活”的试题情境,让学生以身边值得尊敬和爱戴的人为题写一篇参赛短文。

归纳起来,2020年“书面表达”有以下突出的特性:1、防止形式固化,创新试题呈现。

近年来,英语高考“书面表达”通常采用撰写书信或邮件形式。

今年“书面表达”有所改变,采以了“命题作文”的形式,并结合具体的语言情境来考查考生的语言表达能力。

这一改变实属深化考试内容改革,防止试题形式固化的具体表现! 此外,今年的英语高考命题坚持稳中有进原则,不断深化内容改革,创新试题呈现形式,稳步调整试卷结构,充分发挥了“引导中学英语教学改革”的指导性作用。

2、体现时代性,确保公平性。

全国I“卷书面表达”要求学生以身边值得尊敬和爱戴的人为题写一篇短文,引导学生关注身边平凡而令人尊重的人物。

既能培养学生的“审美情趣”,落实“五育并举”,实行“体美劳”结合,同时也充分考虑到高考延期的考情和考生复习备考时间相对短的学情,在稳定试卷结构和控制试卷难度的基础上,体现了时代性,确保了公平性。

二、文章“布局”构思,运用“课内知识”今年高考的“书面表达”题是这样命制的:思维导图如下:参考范文1:In the course of our growing up, numerous people have made differences in our life. Among the iconic figures who inspired and enlightened us about life, I admire Miss Lin the most, who sets a shining example to us all. The specific reasons are as follows.Miss Lin, a kind, respectable and warm-hearted English teacher, isadmired by all of us Senior 3 students. First of all, knowledgeable and experienced as she is, she is easy to get along with and will never hesitate to offer help when students encounter difficulties. Besides, every time we express our own idea, Miss Lin will in no time figure out our strengths and approve our hard work, which in turn inspires our confidence and motivates us to move forward towards our goal. Most importantly, not only does she teach students abundant knowledge but also builds up the correct outlooks on the world, life and value.It is with Miss Lin’s encouragement that we students have made great progress both physically and mentally. I definitely dream to become a person like her, with a universal impulse to help others in need.参考范文2:Since COVID-19 broke out in China, numerous people have been influenced. Fortunately, many unsung heroes, including volunteers, doctors, nurses and other experts, risked their lives to stop the virus from spreading. Among the heroes, I admire Dr. Zhong Nanshan most for the following merits:Dr. Zhong Nanshan, although 84 years old, braved it out when Wuhan was shut down, carrying out research day and night and fighting against the virus. Besides, as an academician, he knows how to bring the virus under control. So he worked hard with other experts, which inspired both doctors and patients. It was he who, regardless of the shortage of equipment and the potential risk of infection, bravely guided the medical faculty to rescue those who fell victims to the virus. I am deeply impressed by his unselfish devotion and strong sense of responsibility.Words fail me to convey my admiration for Dr. Zhong Nanshan, but it is my firm belief that only through my constant efforts shall I be able to serve our country and society better like him.。

剑15写作之大小作文及范文解析

剑15写作之大小作文及范文解析

剑15写作之大小作文及范文解析为了让大家更好的备考雅思作文,今天给大家带来剑15写作之大小作文及范文解析,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

剑15写作| 大小作文及范文解析Test 1 属于静态柱状图;Test 2 属于动态线形图;Test 3 为流程图;Test 4 则是饼图与表格的混合图。

4道题中包括了学术类小作文考试中主要的动静态数据类图表,以及较为特殊的混合图及流程图。

基于这样的出题分布,再结合近3年的考试趋势,老师给到大家的小作文备考建议是:稳中求胜。

以往,总有一些学生因为没有分配足够多的时间在写作学科,所以到了考前抱有侥幸心理,主攻考试频率较高的数据图,而忽略了地图题、流程图的准备。

而这种做法,在后续1年的考试中,是非常危险的做法。

这一点,我们可以从官方给出的几大讯号得到。

讯号一:近年剑桥雅思真题题型分布均匀小作文中,同学们一般容易忽视的图可分为地图题,流程图以及混合图类型。

这里我们先以地图和流程图为例。

如果关注了剑11之后的剑雅真题的同学不难发现,这两类题型除了剑11以外,在后续每一年的真题集上都有一席之地:C12T2,C12T4,C13T1,C13T4,C14T3,C14T4,C15T3。

再来看到混合图。

混合图在C11T4,C14T2以及C15T4也都有出现。

讯号二:特殊题型在真题中出现频率维持较高由2019年大陆地区的真题回忆情况来看,地图和流程图各出现2次,而混合图出现1次,共计5次,在全年50次考试中占到了10%的比重。

换言之,每两个月的考试中,就有一次是这些题型。

同样,在考试频频取消的2020年,早在年初1月18日的考试中,就已出现了地图题的身影。

讯号三:反预测的考试形式出现消失了4年多的AB卷考试形式(上一次出现在20XX年11月),在2020年也重新回到我们的眼球。

AB卷意味着什么?意味着同一天的考试有两套完全不同的题目。

也就是说,同学们更有可能在考试中碰到自己不会的题型。

The Power of Perseverance in the Face ofChallengesIn the ever-changing world, the journey of life is often fraught with challenges and difficulties. These challenges come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from minor setbacks to major obstacles that test our resilience and perseverance. The English composition question from the 2020 National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) perfectly captured this essence, asking students to reflect on how they would overcome a significant challenge in their lives. The power of perseverance is paramount in overcoming challenges. It is the driving force that keeps us going when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The story of Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb after numerous failures, is a testament to this. Edison did not give up despite the repeated failures; instead, he persevered and ultimately succeeded. His story teaches us that with perseverance, no challenge is too big.Similarly, in our daily lives, we encounter various challenges that require us to persevere. Whether it is a challenging academic task, a demanding sports event, or apersonal goal we strive to achieve, perseverance is the key to success. It is the ability to stay focused and determined, despite the difficulties and setbacks we may encounter.The NCEE composition question asked students to envision themselves as members of a space exploration team facing a critical challenge. This scenario highlights the importance of teamwork, communication, and perseverance in overcoming difficulties. As a member of such a team, one would need to rely on their teammates, communicate effectively, and persevere through the challenges to find a solution.In conclusion, the power of perseverance is invaluable in overcoming challenges. It is the driving force that helps us stay focused and determined, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As students and individuals, we should cultivate this trait and apply it to every aspect of our lives. By persevering through challenges, we not only improve ourselves but also contribute to the success of our teams and communities.**坚持的力量:面对挑战的无畏**在不断变化的世界中,人生之旅往往充满挑战和困难。

雅思大作文高分范文:Nowadays,there is an argument that reading mass media is a waste of time, because theyhave nothing to do with daily life. In my view, this assertion is ridiculous,because it fails to find out practical values of massmedia in our lives. Myreasons will be explored as below.Firstly,the assertion of “no connection between news and people’s lives”isproblematic, because it is opposite to the truth. Today, the majority ofnewspapers and TV channels are regional media, and all they reflect and respondare closely related to day-to-day life among people. They typical example is akind of newspaper named City daily, which features focusing on every detail ofa certain urban area, such as the implementation of new social rules, therebuilding of transportation infrastructures, the discount time of malls, theschedule of exhibitions in museums and theatres, and even the price fluctuationof local food market. By reading the news happening around, urbanites can gainuseful suggestions and instructions for making proper decisions about theiroutdoor travelling, shopping, and leisure activities every day. Moreover,forecasts and social-crime reports from these media play a key role as areminder, which keeps audiences from the uncertainty and dangers. What is more,common knowledge and tips of life presented in newspaper, from cooking togardening, from children caring to money planning, teach readers with practicalexperience and skills, which helps to keep their lives in good trim.Anotherproblem of this assertion is that it underestimates the contributions thesemedia make to the mental health of the public. Generally speaking, in an agefull of fierce competition and stress, readingnewspaper is an ideal way bywhich the audience can relax their minds, no matter whether the contents innewspaper are useful or not. For example, by taking a glance at the words onnewspaper that has no practicality at all, such as stories of historic eventsand people, tidbits about movie and sports stars, as well as introductions ofacademic knowledge about science and arts, readers can lift themselves up fromthe pressure, worries and anxiety. Therefore, mass media well serves a positivepurpose of entertainment which improves emotional stability and well-being ofthe public.Overall,I believe this assertion of denying the importance of mass media makes nosense. The truth is, newspaper and TV programs have been proven greatlymeaningful and valuable in the public’s convenience, safety and entertainment.(412 words)雅思大作文题目:Societywould benefit from the ban on all forms of advertising because it may serve nouseful purpose, and can even be damaging. To what extent do you agree ordisagree?雅思大作文解题思路:1. 广告的优势多多。

2020考研英语一大作文押题及范文:低碳生活

2020考研英语一大作文押题及范文:低碳生活

2020考研英语一大作文押题及范文:低碳生活预测种类:低碳生活Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the picture below. In your essay, you should describe the picture briefly, interpret its intended meaning, and give your comments.Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)As is vividly depicted in this compelling and thought-provoking cartoon, a young boy is riding a bike instead of driving his car to the destination on the wide street in a sunny day. If we study it further, it is easy to figure out that the boy is quite eager to lead alow-carbon life for the purpose of creating a green homeland. Accordingly, what this far-reaching picture depicts demonstrates a common phenomenon in the contemporary society, which deserves further analysis.Several functions unveiled are too general and ambiguous, but the following two, at least from my perspective, could better illustrate the importance of this kind of quality. The main role I firmly believe is that a low-carbon lifestyle reduces greenhouse gases and saves resources. It lowers our exposure to chemicals and pollution. In addition, it is also widely acknowledged that walking or cycling instead of driving is a great way to improve health, fitness and well-being for the growing number of people with sedentary lifestyles, cutting the risk of heart disease, strokes and diabetes at the same time as cutting carbon emissions, noise, congestion and pollution.According to the above analysis, we should realize the importance of living a low-carbon lifestyle and then act on it. All in all, it is high time to strengthen people’ s awareness in this aspect.If we are all of one mind to put this right, there is no doubt that changes will follow.。

2020年1月18日,大陆雅思AB卷大作文解析A卷原题:Nowadays, children have too much freedom. To what extent do you agree or disagree?这个题目真心不难,也是一季度正常要考察的项目。

孩子有没有更多自由可以从很多方面来看:比如家庭教育观念的转变,社会的进步,社会教育的变化。

自由的部分可以体现在家庭教育愿意孩子有更多的自由和成长的快乐,不自由也可以体现在学校教育的任务增加社会要求变多,孩子压力增大。

其实教育类别的很多题目其核心都是在讨论和对比家庭、学校、社会的教育方式和功能。

当然这个题目从孩子是不是需要更听话更加跟随家长或成人的意愿方面来讨论,如果有自主思考就更自由,如果不能自主思考就丧失自由。

B卷原题:Some experts think that for the countries which are already rich,additional economic growth of wealth will make citizens can not be happier. To what extent do you agree or disagree?这个是一个有一点难度的题目。

之前的考察是问国家贫富差距缩小是不是使社会更好。

从今天的这个题目来看其实就是这个题目的变体讨论。

假设社会已经富裕,那么额外的财富就是在增加社会经济总量和缩减贫富差距。

但是富裕的社会贫富差距的缩减并不一定是好事。

这里面在讨论一个非常内核的经济原理,当社会的经济总量充分是社会是会趋于满足的,社会加了财富,那就意味着会导致共同富裕,这样一来有可能会导致整个社会疲软,因为人们就丧失了竞争的动力以及提升的空间。

同时如果增加了更多的财富,就意味着肯定会有更多的工作,因为财富不会凭空增加,所以人们就会有更多的压力。

所以其实有很多人会朴素的认为,当社会的经济总量出现增长时,大家一定幸福。

这不一定是正确的,处于贫困当中的人一定是这样,但是有钱却往往不能够解决很多问题,反而有可能会带来更多的矛盾。

A卷题目参考范文:Between then and now, children have been given much freedom, so today's younger people do not pay enough attention to the older people's advice. It was then when the younger people were taught to be respectful of elders; and it is now when the younger generation appears to be exceedingly intelligent and impatient of restraint, increasingly ignoring the experience of the older generation. On balance, the two generations are making mistakes of different sorts in defining intelligence versus experience.On the one hand, the error of youth is to believe that intelligence is a substitute for experience. Gradually, in an environment of freedom, they tend to turn a deaf ear to what their parents have to say about experience in life. For one thing, young people are better educated, but much of education is ineffective in teaching disciplines that would inspire youth to respect age. As a result, the images of parents, partly as teachers and partly as preachers that used to be at home, are behind the times. Instead, coming into fashion is the "know-all" adviser 24/7--the Internet. Naturally, most working parents being busy most of the time, it is common among children to seek advice by Googling or exchange advice with peers by checking Facebook.On the other hand, the error of age is to believe that experience is a substitute for intelligence. It can be seen that sometimes parents unwisely try to give children undesirable pieces of advice like gift flowers, rather than teaching them to grow plants of experience on their own and in freedom. In fact, these days parents seldom give strict orders to children, knowing only too well that the declining parental authority is no match for children's rising freedom. A this point, hardly can parents force children to listen seriously to advice as if it were experience under disguise. So when children's freedom prevails, it implies that kissing parents are many and scolding parents are few.Now that the younger people have so much freedom that it is as easy for them to mistake intelligence for experience, as the older people mistake experience for intelligence. That is why the younger generation does not face the music by denying to pay attention to the older people's "authoritative" advice. After all, judging from the way how modern parents obey their children, there should be no mistake about who are the commanders-in-chief?B卷相似题目参考范文(1):The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming wider, the rich richer, and the poor even poorer. What problems can the situation cause and give the solutions.The gap between the rich and the poor has widened over the last 20 years in nearly all the countries studied, even though trade and technological advances have spurred rapid growth in their economics. With job losses and home foreclosures skyrocketing and many of these countries now facing recession, policymakers must act quickly to prevent a surge in populist and protectionist sentiment as was seen following the Great Depression. This essay will focus on the reasons and the solutions as follows.The reasons for the gap enlarging are manifest. Firstly, rising inequality threatens social mobility -children doing better than their parents, the poor improving their lot through hard work - which i slower in countries like the U.S., China, Great Britain and Italy, where inequality is high, than countries with less inequality such as Denmark, Sweden and Australia. Secondly, wealthy households are not only widening the gap with the poor, but in countries such as the U.S., China and Germany, they arc also leaving middle-income earners further behind, with potentially ominous consequences if the global financial crisis sparks a long recession. The two decades covered in the study-1985-2005-saw the development of wider global trade and the Internet, and a period of overall strong economic growth.To deal with this situation, governments need to act to support employment as a response to widening inequality and faltering economics. If the government can take on the role of lender of last resort, then we should think about the government taking on the role of employer of last resort. Put bluntly, governments have to step up. Step up to the plate as Roosevelt did in the Great Depression. To address the “divisive” issue of growing inequality, governments should do more to educate the whole work force - and not just the elite - while helping people get job sand increasing incomes for working families, rather than relying on social benefits.All in all, greater income inequality stifles upward mobility between generations, harder for talented and hardworking people to get the rewards they deserve. It polarizes making societies; it divides regions within countries, and it carves up the world between the rich and the poor. If possible, we should stop it when we possibly can.B卷相似题目参考范文(2):People in developing countries are happier than before while people in developed countries are no happier than they used to be. Why? What lesson can you learn from it?Financially speaking, people are supposed to be happier when their incomes exceed expenses, but the reverse seems to be happening to many people in some developed countries. In comparison, people in some developing countries with a much lower measure of per capita income appear to be happier in what they are actually able to buy within their earnings. The message seems clear enough: higher living standards do not necessarily add to happiness but excessive spending can certainly undermine it.It is hard to tell what does bring happiness when wealth may ironically fail as much as poverty. In countries full of comforts and luxuries, there are chances that people are beginning to count their troubles in the presence of rising living costs. This is very unlike people in developing countries who make positive sense of life by counting blessings and joys. Even in rich countries, life may become more stressful and less enjoyable under the pressure of increasingly higher living standards from time to time. What is worse, job security is already a major concern particularly among less skilled employees who are nervous about impending layoffs. Besides, the reality of financial crisis is spreading from one developed country to another, further complicating the difficult situation and fueling the anger of many less happy people.People in most developing countries have reasons to feel happier than before, probably because they live their lives forward. Being relatively poor, they are happier in knowing who they really are, then doing what they need to do in order to have what they want. To them happiness is more like a direction for motivation than a place for leisure. Also, they are more capable of recognizing and appreciating what they do have. In short, they feel happier exactly because they do not expect too much happiness. This mentality is different from people in developing countries who have large incomes but also large expenses, often resulting in negative balance sheets.In sum, the only way to avoid being unhappy in life, whether referring to a developed country or a developing country, is to have happy thoughts about living within their means and having something to hope for. Per capita income can no longer be the only measure for economic happiness, judging from the fact that people in developed countries are not as happy as they used to be. Without any doubt, the lesson about being happy is for an individual as well as for a country to perform a balancing act between incomes and expenses.。
