Advertising is the only cause of unhealthy eating habits.Many experts have warned us against some diseases caused by unhealthy eating habits, and then some people attribute those inappropriate habits to commercials. Although I concede that advertising is one of the factors accounting for people’s unhealthy eating habits, it’s too exaggerated to say that advertising is the only reason, because there are another two elements that can not be neglected.Admittedly, advertising may be a cause of unhealthy eating habits, for the advertisements of junk foods are often designed quite tempting in order to attract buyers. For example, the commercial of KFC is typically a combination of melodious music, fancy pictures and a slogan of “ We do chicken right”, luring people to purchase the unhealthy food. Howeve r, it is an overstatement to assert that advertising is the only reason since the two following reasons exist.Heavy workload keeps people from having their meals regularly, which is considered as one of unhealthy eating habits. Nowadays, people have to work really hard to survive in the highly competitive society, so they barely have time to sit at the table and have dinners. Take a businessman for example. He may keep working for over 8 hours a day to get all his work done and have no time for lunch. Consequently, he only has one meal a day. It is definitely an unhealthy eating habit, which result from too much business and a long working time.Besides, the so-called junk foods, such as fried chicken, cheese burgers and cola, are indeed more delicious, especially for children. Commonly, fried chicken wings are usually spicy and crispy compared with the blend and mild taste of steamed chicken wings, so it is easy to understand why those junk foods can soon become popular among young children. However, the fried wings, corns and chips are too oily, containing excessive fat and even some poisonous ingredients, all of which do harm to people’s health. So I believe the special taste and flavor explain why people love those unhealthy foods.In sum, it is inappropriate to reckon that advertising is the only cause of unhealthy eating habit because heavy workload and good taste of junk foods are another two reaons. I hope everyone can say no to the junk foods, reduce working hours and enjoy a more healthy life. (384 words)(Written by Liao Xin)(2)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Movies and televisions should always show audience that good people are rewarded and bad people are punished.The booming movie industry now offers us many choices when we stand at the counter of a cinema discussing which movie is worth watching and which is not. Some people argue that no matter how many movies are produced these years, movies should always show audience thatgood people are rewarded and bad people are punished. From my perspective, the disadvantages of stereotyped movies outweigh the only advantage.To begin with, stereotyped movies will decelerate the rate at which the movie industry develops. It is because there is no innovation in designing the plot. Once the audience can easily guess the ending at the beginning of movies, they will soon find those movies boring. For example, a good-looking hero and an ugly villain, who do you think will marry the elegant princess and who will be put into jail finally in those movies? The answer is quite obvious. In this case, people will be reluctant to buy movie tickets and as a result, the whole movie industry may actually suffer.Plots in the stereotyped movies are sometimes contradictory to reality. In the real society, good people may end up living miserably and bad people may not be punished. Life abounds with such examples. An industrious worker may not be paid his wage after working for one year; in contrast, his boss may be awarded Top Entrepreneur by the government. Similarly, the man who sends an old lady seriously injured in a traffic accident to hospital may be wrongly fined. In this circumstance, children are not able to survive in the real world as the stereotyped movies prevent them from deeply knowing it.Admittedly, stereotyped movies may teach children virtues. Children are supposed to stick to be a good man no matter how hard their life might be. However, it is not necessary for all movies to deliver this principle to audience. What's more, the educational value in the stereotyped movies may fade as children grow up and know the brutal reality.As far as I am concerned, it is not advisable for movies to show audience good people are rewarded and bad people are punished at all time, because the two consequences surpass the sole benefit. (365 words)(Written by Liao Xin)(3)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teachers should be rewarded with incomes comparable to those of doctors, lawyers or business leaders. Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.In the literature, teachers are usually described as the gardeners or engineers of human souls. While in the real world, teaching is a profession typically characterized by high turnover rates and difficult recruitment. It is an essential role in a society, but a generally thankless one in terms of financial benefit and status. From my perspective of view, I fully agree with the title statement that teachers should be paid comparable to those of doctors, lawyers or business leaders.First of all, at the different stages of social divisions, the role that a teacher plays is never dispensable. Teachers make all other professions possible. A doctor, a lawyer, or a business leader, whoever you are, you cannot begin your career without school education. It was teachers that imparted us knowledge and cultivated us, in the course of our growth. Again, it is teachers that are commissioned with the significant task of educating our next generation. Thus, there is no doubt that teachers make immense contributions to our society. If people are paid distinctivelyby their contributions to the society, why are teachers not paid as well as doctors, lawyers, or business leaders?When examining the income of school teachers, one frequently cited fact is that teachers have summers off or work fewer hours and therefore deserve to be paid less. In fact, teaching is not an eight-hours-a-day job. Teachers put in tons of unpaid hours, making lesson plans, attending teacher-parent conferences, and helping students after class, etc. In short, teachers deserve to be paid more as the job is much more stressful and demanding.Furthermore, the teacher pay seems to coincide with teacher quality over the long run. Nowadays, though teaching generally requires a bachelor's degree or better, teachers' incomes are usually not considered comparable with other professionals of similar education, and offer little room for advancement or significant bonuses. Consequently, the highly educated people choose to take the well-paid jobs rather than becoming a teacher. In conclusion, to increase teacher pay so as to better the quality of teachers and improve the education system in the long term.To summarize, teachers should be rewarded with incomes comparable to those of doctors, lawyers, and business leaders, because teachers contribute to our society enormously, carry the great responsibility and frequently overwork. Besides, adequate payment for teachers is what a better education system calls for.(Written by Kang Hui)(4)It is more important for students to understand ideas and concepts than to learn facts.Learning is a complicate process, which consists of various aspects. For students, to understand ideas and concepts, or to learn facts, arouses controversy. Is to understand ideas more important than to learn facts? My answer is no. Ideas and facts are equally important aspects of learning.On the one hand, ideas and concepts can render innumerable facts and phenomenon to concise and elegant rules, principles and laws, which are easier to grasp. And ideas and concepts help people to understand the root causes for facts and phenomenon. For example, the Gravity Law helps students to understand the fact that apples fall down from the tree unto the ground. Likewise, the Kepler’s Laws helps students to understand the motions of the planets and the Earth rotating around the Sun. Thus, concept learning plays an essential role during the process of learning for students.On the other hand, facts can help students to validate or debunk ideas and concepts they learned in the classes. Facts are the most abundant direct materials for us to accept. By virtue of knowing various facts, students can have the sense of what they are learning. For instance, fossils of ancient species prove the theory of Evolution. The failure of the Qing Dynasty of China proved that isolation from the outside world would not work. As a consequence, it is facts that help learners to get the first feeling about what they are working on. Als0, it is facts that can prove a student’s knowledge right or wrong.Furthermore, concepts learning are closely related to facts learning, which makes the two aspects of learning hardly isolated. In reality, we usually start learning with recognizing and memorizing facts of different subjects. Only after we have learned enough facts, we are likely to understand the inner concepts. And a deep understanding of ideas is definitely crucial for us to well accept what we have learned. In order to fully master a knowledge point we get from the class, we need understand the ideas of it.In conclusion, it is facts and concepts combined together that contributes to a better understanding of knowledge. Only by attaching equal important to facts learning and concepts learning simultaneously can students benefit from the process of learning to the most extent.(Written by Kang Hui)(5)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should not pay for the public transportation.In this day and age, passengers are charged for their ridings. Since most of the mass transportation facilities are partially owned by the private businesses, the system generally aims at the maximization of profits. I strongly believe that people should pay for the public transportation, including city buses, highways and trains, for the following reasons.Firstly, people should pay for the city buses for better service quality. For one thing, the profits can act as a driven force for the bus companies to improve their service. They tend to increase the number of buses, optimize the driving courses and do well in maintaining the bus to attract more passengers and enlarge the profits. For another, profits will surely intensify the competition between bus companies, which will finally lead to the entire improvement of the bus service system.Secondly, people should pay for the highway system since the government built the highways as investments. If people stop paying for their taking the subway, government may stop building more highways and it will result in the inconvenience and low efficiency of traffic system. For example, the citizens in my hometown have ever been reluctant to pay for the highway. What's more, some illegal long-distance transportation firms which used the highway frequently do not pay for the fees and beat the cashiers in the highway very seriously. Several Months later, the government had to close the highway because they were failed in investments. This phenomenon negatively influenced upon and set back the development of the local economy.Finally, people should pay for the trains. On one hand, there are different classes of train tickets such as hard-seat tickets, sleeper tickets and non-seat tickets. If passengers take it without paying, it will be difficult to reach an agreement among the passengers on the fair distribution of tickets and seats. The more you pay for, the better seat you should keep. Furthermore, it will be a heavy burden for the government to support the train system independently.Admittedly, some people hold the idea that we should not pay for the public transportation forsome reasons. Yet, I insist that we should do that. It is the right for everyone to benefit from the mass transportation, and it is also everyone's responsibility to support it.(Written by Liang Jianshi)(6)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to spend money on traveling and vacation than to save money for the future.In this day and age, there is a heated discussion about the utilization of the money we earned. Some people support the idea of spending money on traveling and vacation, while others believe it is better to save money for the future. As far as I am concerned, the second choice is considerable.First and foremost, the money we saved can be used in an emergency. It is no doubt that we have to face different tough obstacles in our life, so money is of vital significance at that time. Facing diseases or personal financial crisis, we will endure and overcome it by the saving money. Fortunately, an increasing number of people have been accepted this idea. A recent poll conducted by government officials shows that seventy percent of university students would save money preparing for future use rather than spending money on traveling and vacations.In addition, the income for some people is so slender that they cannot afford the money for traveling. Those who do not have high income even worried about the consumption of house rent, food and clothing, so actually they haven’t g ot extra money to travel. My uncle is a case in point. He, who works in a factory, only has a salary of 600RMB per months. It is not difficult to figure out money left after paying the above-mentioned expenses of the family. Never had he spent money on traveling or vacation because of the lack of money.Admittedly, spending money on traveling and vacation has advantages as enjoying the beautiful scenery and releasing stress, and its disadvantages are apparent and unavoidable as well. For instance, I went to the National Park, which is a beautiful natural landscape in our country. When I stepped in that park, I felt the odor of Mother Nature strongly. However, traveling and vacation do costly and toilsome, and we can acquire happiness and relaxation from other kinds of ways without taking so much effort and energy.Base on the factors I mention above, a conclusion could be drawn that I prefer saving money for the future than spending money on traveling and vacation.(Written by Liang Jianshi)(7)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Younger school children (aged five to ten) should be required to study art and music in addition to math, language, science and history.Art and music are the greatest cultural inheritances from our ancestors and elites of our times. For children, starting to learn art and music can help them develop their ability better, communicate with others better and enjoy their life better. In this sense, I totally agree with thestatement for a number of reasons.To st art with, as is often pointed that art and music can enhance children’s ability of imagination, concentration and perseverance. Music is an expressive art of sound and the meaning of every musical note has unique profoundness which leaves our children unlimited scope of imagination. They could interpret the music they heard in their own way and that’s why even a baby would move its body to a piece of music. What’s more, in daily exercises, in order to perfect their skill and control every sound, children have to control themselves and attach more attention to the music. That’s where their concentration has been improved. Finally, after years’ unremitting efforts, they may attend some contests and, of course, if they really stick to music and are fond of it, some prizes will be given and more important, they learnt a priceless lesson that perseverance will pay off.Next, art and music can better children’s disposition and temperament. The process of learning art and music can improve the communication among the students and teachers. They may express their emotion freely and establish a special bridge of communication with others. When they play a piece of music or paint a picture skillfully and beautifully, self-achievement and activeness has been built up unconsciously. According to the recent survey made by Chinese Academy of Social Science, many children are becoming better-tempered, warm, generous, willing to help and communicate with others, after starting to learn art and music for a period of time.La st but not least, art and music can heighten children’s life quality and taste. An evaluation of high quality and taste is always given to the art students, who always have a unique perspective towards many issues. The simple reason is that art comes from life and higher than life. Student learning art definitely enjoy the life of higher quality than others. Besides, all masterpieces of famous musicians and painters should be the learning materials for the students. With the influence by those great people, the students’ horizon will be certainly broader.Obviously, all the evidence confirms an undoubted conclusion that children aged from 5 to 10 should start to learn music and art. It will surely benefit their school life and life after.(Written by Sun Wei)(8)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to improve education is to raise teachers’ salaries.How to improve education has always been one of the hottest social issues to be discussed. Some people would say that the best way to promote education is to provide teachers with high salaries, because teachers are of indispensable function in the education. But as for me, I don’t think that it is the best way to achieve the goal of education improvement, for there are still other factors need to be considered.First of all, scientific educational plan is fundamental for education improvement. A reasonable and well-organized plan will optimize the structure of students’ knowledge and ability andcultivate high quality talents with specialty. On the contrary, if the plan is in defective condition, it is almost a mission impossible to shape education superiority and development of talents cannot avoid be influenced. We may point out a common example of machinery manufacturing. In producing a beautiful machine, a systematic, detailed, and scientific plan of production must be elaborated and delivered carefully. Any flaw, no matter perceivable or not, will result in functional defect, ever worse, uselessness!Moreover, to improve the validity and reality relevance of learning materials that students are using will affect the education enhancement. Teachers, students and teaching contents are basic elements of educational activities and learning materials are the carrier of the contents, main source from which students acquire the knowledge, and basic principle for teachers’ activities. Correspondence among the objective students, the difficulty and the content coverage of the learning materials will work on the result and effectiveness of learning process. Good materials could definitely achieve the anticipated goal, while invalid, outdated materials could never work out. This is supported by a typical instance of English language education. Students are learning the platitude and cliché of last fifty years for spoken English in some countries. With those materials, the students could hardly perform effective communication, not to mention improve their language education in these places.However, we cannot deny the fact that the improvement of education is conditioned by teachers. The teachers are the playing the dominant roles in the teaching and they are hold the guiding position in the purpose, contents, process, methodology, pattern and means of instructions. Quality of education therefore, is inseparable with that of teachers. After all, the fact that an accomplished disciple owes his accomplishment to his great teacher is inarguable. So, providing them with incentive of higher salaries will arouse teachers’ enthusiasm and then achi eve the goal of education improvement to some extent.From what has been discussed above, we could safely draw the conclusion that many factors need to be considered and many methods can also be taken to improve education. Raising teachers’ salaries is on e of the available options, but not the best one.(Written by Sun Wei)(9) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing sports teaches people lessons about the life.Nowadays, a large group of people are crazy about doing sports with other zealous fellows. They always keep themselves occupied with all kinds of sports instead of lying in sofa, watching soap operas. I am a loyal advocator to this passionate life style. While possessing a good health, beneficial classes of life are extra gains of doing sports.Doing sports constantly can steel people’s willpower and teach them the lesson of persevering in everyday life no matter how tough the situations are. For instance, Lionel Messi, my favorite football player, no one could believe that he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency and we almost miss a superstar! However, his persistence and intense love for football kept himgoing on without hesitation and nothing could stop him from becoming an excellent player. Ultimately, the sporting director of Barcelona had been made aware of his talent and led him to a superiorly shining life. Now he has received FIFA World Player of the Year nomination in 2009 at the age of 21. This incident gives me a full understanding of the fact that how unbelievable results sports may bring to people.In addition, sports guide people to respect rivals regardless of the results. Also, no matter how strong you are and maybe your opponent has no chance to win at all, respecting opponents still remains its essential place. In 2010 Africa FIFA World Cup, when North Korea which at the bottom of the ranking list encountered Brazil, which ranks No.1 in the world. Brazil showed the characteristic of a world-class team. They tried hard as their competitors were equally strong as them and spoke highly of North Korea’s presentation after the game. In sum, sports really enable people to own the quality of respecting opponents, which makes it unique compared to other things.Another vital class we can learn is accepting defeats or victories, it is a fundamental part of competition and it is unavoidable for each participant. That is just the most appealing part of sports. Team members should not blame their partners for anything as long as he puts all his heart into it. Facing failure calmly and embracing success modestly are the experiences of life that sports give us.Considering all the analysis above, we safely come to the conclusion that doing sports indeed benefit us a lot in varied ways. I insist that in the future a large range of people will participate in sports and obtain knowledge of life.(Written by Wang Pingfei)(10)Do agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people should take different kinds of jobs before they take a career in a long term.Generally, many young people take several different kinds of jobs when they first step into the society. However, some people argue that whether it is necessary to take numerous jobs before they take a career in a long time. Nevertheless, from my perspective, they should take various jobs before pursuing the long-term employment in order to find out their interests and potential, gain more knowledge as well as experience, and make more friends.Firstly, taking several jobs enables the young people to discover their real passion and potential. After the students have graduated from college, some of them have no clue about what career they should choose. However, only by trying numerous kinds of occupations can they figure out which field they will be interested in and do well. My uncle first worked as an accountant in a small company after he obtained his college degree. However, he soon realized the work was too dull for him. Then he changed his career to a HR manager in a national bank. Yet, he was totally overwhelmed by the heavy work load as well as the competitive working environment. He quitted his job and became a mathematics teacher in a high school. To his surprise, he eventually found out his passion in teaching the students and decided to take teacher as his long-termcareer. Therefore, young people should experience a variety of jobs to identify the job that most suits them.Secondly, young people can learn various sorts of skills and gain valuable experience which is useful for the whole career development. It is an undeniable fact that by taking several new jobs, people have to adapt to the new environment. In this way, they can learn many practical knowledge and techniques. For instance, if a young man changes his job and steps into another career, he has to get accustomed to this new place. By communicating with his colleagues, he can gradually improve his social skills. Spontaneously, he will have a quick adaptation to the environment.As far as I am concerned, taking various jobs make it possible for the young people to discover their interests and potential. They can also obtain valuable experience and knowledge that may be beneficial to their long-term career. Considering all the analysis above, we may safely come to the conclusion that young people should take different kinds of jobs before they identify and pursue their lifetime career.(Written by Wang Pingfei)(11) Do you agree or disagree: Newspapers and magazines are the best way of learning about a foreign country.In order to have a comparative edge in this globalized society, people today have to equip themselves with the latest news about other nations. To achieve this goal, some people put forward that the best way to grasp the information is to read newspapers and magazines. Personally, I disagree. Newspapers and magazines are born with limitations and other forms of media can play equally effective, if not more, role in it.First, neither newspapers nor magazines provide people with a thorough understanding of the complex culture of a new country. Due to the limited pages or space, it is impossible to illustrate the complexity of a culture to the readers in a number of lines. What readers get from news reports or pictures of the newspapers is always superficial and subje ct to the authors’ personal judgment. On the other hand, the classic books have withstanded the examination of time and can facilitate the readers’ learning. If you want to truly understand the West, for example, the newspapers and magazines may tell you what happened there, and the classic books like Holy Bible will tell you why it happened. Thus the attempt to truly understand a foreign country by the instant information of newspapers and magazines is due to fail.Moreover, the real experience in a new country may benefit people more than just reading newspapers and magazines. Although some magazines today embrace vivid pictures and even DVDs to better display a new nation, the readers are still both mentally and physically kept away from the strange place. It is because readers are just led by authors and they do not have the opportunity to explore in person. Many people have the experience that when traveling, what they finally find in the destinations differs dramatically from what they have read from the traveling magazines. Hence, without an exploration in person, the newspapers and magazines are。

托福写作强化班讲义
托福写作强化班讲义开头段文The best way to increase students’ interest in a subject is to teach them the significance of the subject outside of school.It is well acknowledged that interest is the best teacher. Students can considerably improve their academic performance if they study with great interest. Therefore, educators are striving to find ways to help arouse students’interest in various subjects. Some propose that no means is better to increase students’ interest than teaching them the importance of the subject outside of school. However, I have different opinion.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The main role of a university professor is to educate students rather than to do research.Universities are places where foundations of academic study are cultivated and it is no question that professors play an important role in the education quality at the university. Among the tasks that professorsundertake every day, researching and teaching activities take up most of their time. Some people would say that professors should focus more on teaching than research. I disagree. I believe that in order to enrich the learning experience of college students, a professor should focus a significant amount of time on his or her research.Although science and technology will continue to improve, the most significant improvement for the quality of people's lives have already taken place.The development of science and technology has always accompanied the progress of human society. The 21st century has seen leaps and bounds advancement of science and technology, making people’s lives more and more efficient and convenient. Some people are wondering whether science and technology will keep on improving. As for me, I believe many significant innovations will continue to occur since human civilization is motivated and propelled by the progress of science and technology.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? An effective leader should try to make others feel that they are part of the decision making process.Leaders play a profound role in the success of a group. Due to this, the strategy of a leader is at the frontline of public debate. So there is a controversy whether effective leaders should let group members feel they participated in the process of decision making or not. From my point of view, good leaders should try to make group members feel they are part of the process of decision making. My reasons and examples listed below will strengthen my point.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Newspapers and magazines are the best ways to learn about a foreign country.With the increasing development of technology, we now have the ability to acquire much information from foreign media sources. Because we can learn much about events happening in other countries from the mass media, such as magazines and newspapers, many people may think that reading magazines and newspapers is thebest way to learn about a foreign country. However, I believe that only reading magazines and newspapers as a way of learning about a foreign country has several limitations.练习：Young people today are more likely to help others than in the past.Your job will have more effect on your happiness than the social life does.写好主题句：文：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for the government to spend money on art museums andconcert halls than on recreational facilities such as swimming pools and playgrounds.To begin with, compared with art facilities, recreational facilities such as swimming pools and playgrounds are much more essential to people’s daily life.Secondly, art facilities are generally much more expensive to establish.Furthermore, once a museum or a concert hall is established, it usually charges a high admission fee in order to sustain its daily operation and to fund ambitious projects or performances.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? there is never good resaon to be impolite(rude) to another person.First, in dealing relationships with family and friend, people need to be polite and considerate.Second, in a working environment, one needs to obey the basic social norms of courtesy for interpersonal communication.Third, in the political realm and entertainment industry, celebrities need to show a gracious and friendly manner in order to maintain a positive image.练习：Young people today are more likely to help others than in the past.Your job will have more effect on your happiness than the social life does.一．教育类素材思路09年5月30日(10年11月21日）Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Younger school children (ages 5-10) should be required to study art and music in addition to math language, science and history.Nowadays, more and more parents treat art and music as compulsory subjects to children because parents believe they can help cultivate creativeness. However, I hold a negative attitude toward this opinion due to the fact that art and music cost too much money and are not necessary to help children get to success.Admittedly, learning art and music have some minor advantages. They can make students more creative and this will benefit students in the future. For example, a businessman inspired by art and music may create a way of selling his commodities. However, art and music are not the only way of being creative. In fact, some subjects such as math, chemistry and physics also contribute greatly to our creativeness.First, learning art and music is quite costly. If schools have art and music classes, they need to equip themselves with a great deal of instruments, brushes and pigments, all of which need lots of money and therefore, schools will ask students to pay more money. Only in that way can a school afford the costs. Take my school for example. Before we were required to study art and music, we only need to pay about 150 yuan a month. However, when we were required to study them, the school fees soar to 400 yuan. This made parents felt upset and angry because they thought the school had no reason to increase school fees. In the end, itmade the school unaffordable and few parents wanted to pay the extra tuitions. As a result, our school’s educational quality decreased at an unbelievable rate. Obviously, it is not advisable to require children to study art and music.In addition, learning art and music does not necessarily lead students to success. A mathematician who has no time to study art can finally obtain great achievement and contribute a lot to science; a business people who only desires money can finally become wealthy and famous in his field; an athlete who treat art and music as boring stuffs can finally stand on the top of the podium and be respected by people all over the world. All of the above demonstrate the fact that knowledge from art and music is indeed not so necessary for students’ future careers.From the foregoing discussion, requiring children to study art and music can help children cultivate creativeness to some extent, but the disadvantages are of more importance. Instead, I suggest the art and music courses can be optional courses for young school children. (418 words)09年11月7日Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To achieve successful development of a country, a government should focus its budgets more on young children’s education rather than on universities’. Whether a government should focus its budgets more on young children’s education than on universities? The answer is yes. I concede that university education now mostly relies on government’s budget. However, early education needs more money to guarantee good quality of education and school facilitates.Children aged from 5-18 are at the most crucial stage of intelligence development, so they deserve better educators. According to a latest research result reported by China Children Health Fund (CCHF), a child’s intelligence develops mostly from five to eighteen, so commonly, excellent educators are required in people’s early ages. Besides, the training and educating of a well-qualified teacher in primary school or secondary school are often quite costly, and they need to be paid a relatively high salary, for example, over 1000 dollars per month. As the number of teachers in primary school and secondary school increases, young children education becomes unaffordable for most parents and as a result, government should pay more to subsidizethe early education.Young children education also needs good school facilitates, which cost governments a great amount of money. The chief minister in Treasury announced that they spent 3% fiscal income, as much as 500 million dollars, on primary education, but that is not enough. It is because children desire a complete set of school facilitates, such as playgrounds, canteens, laboratories, libraries and dormitories which are so expensive. For example, a school library equipped with advanced computers costs at least 100 thousand dollars; a dormitory building serving meals and laundries costs at least 150 thousand dollars. Since early education is compulsory for everyone in my country, the government has to pay much more to set up school facilitates.Admittedly, university education does need money. Usually, salaries of university professors are high and the schooling instruments are costly. However, college education should mainly rely on donations from social organizations, large corporations and accomplished alumni, which relieve much financial pressure of governments. What’s more, considered as the elites’education, college career is optional for people, so it is reasonable for colleges to charge a comparatively high tuition fee to students anticipating universities.To conclude, although universities need budgets to build campuses, remodel laboratories and refill libraries, many social organizations, companies and individuals can raise fund for them. The government, with limited budget splitting to many fields, should put priority to young children’s schooling in terms of education. (426 words)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:The benefits that students can get from student organization or club activities are as many as that they can get from their academic studies.Presently, universities in China often go to extremes by laying too much emphasis on the academic studies while ignoring the importance of extracurricular activities like student organizations and club activities, which is, so far as I'm concerned, rather ill-considered. As a matter of fact, in my observation, student organizations and club activities benefit students equally as the academic studies, and the reasons are manifold.To begin with, student organizations and club activities provide students with a valuable platform to enlarge their social circles. By participating the clubs and organizations, students are more likely to meet people sharing the common interest with them, and establishlong-lasting friendship. Take my own experience as an example; my enthusiasm for English brought me to the English corner in our university weekly, where I met a group of students who were equally passionate for English, even though they were not majoring in this area. The casual chat with them opened a new window for me, and I was greatly enlightened and refreshed by those friends, who have now constituted an inseparable and valued part of my life.In addition, the experience in the student organizations and club activities will be particularly instrumental for you if you want to acquire leadership and organizational skills. The real participation in the organization of clubs and associations will oftentimes indicate frequent communication with different people, the coordination of different groups, as well as some minor technical problems like the design of posters and websites. Though seemingly troublesome or even trivial sometimes, all these will benefit you in the long run. I have witnessed many friends who have earned desirable positions in the job hunting due to their rich experience in student organizations and club activities.Finally, taking part in the student organizations and club activities will also help students pursue their interests. Oftentimes, the academic studies are just boring and possibly a far cry from the student's own interest, whereas the participation of club activities can reignite their passion and offer a stage for them to pursue their love. It oncehappened in my university that a student majoring in Japanese won the top prize for software design, which was really very surprising. The reason for his success lies in his participation in the computer club which provides him with the chance to indulge in his interest.Therefore, considering all these factors, it is only fair to conclude that student organizations and club activities are indeed equally beneficial to students as the academic studies.教育类基本词汇教育类高级词汇作业：2010.2.27Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:High school students should take a course on basic economics.2010.3.12Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:If child want to do well in school, parents should limit the hours of watching TV programs or movies.2009.4.3Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:The best way to improve the quality of education is to increase teachers’ salaries.二．政府类素材思路：2011.4.9 大陆=2009.9.19北美约等于2008.5.10It’s more important for the government to spend money to build art museums and music performance centerthan to build recreational facilities (such as swimming pool, playgrounds).An important function of the government is to build public facilities to enrich the material and spiritual life of its citizens. Whether the government should put priority on art museums and concert halls or spend money on entertaining places like playgrounds is a debate being discussed. In my view, building art museums and concert halls has more value than recreational facilities.Admittedly, recreational facilities can enrich the way people spend their holidays. For Example, Universal Studio in Los Angles have many fancy cartoon cosplays, thrilling rollercoaster and 3-dimension movies. I can still remember the day when I went there with my best friends, all about laughter and happiness. However, entertainment costs money, and the primary function of the government is not to entertain people and make profits from it. Many corporations and affluent individuals can invest money on those luxury buildings and equipments, so the government should put more budgets on cultural facilities.Moreover, art museums or concert halls can enhance the culture environment of the region or even the whole country. If the government cherishes the cultural heritage and encourage people to go to galleriesand concerts by lowering the fees or even making it free, people will be immersed in this art atmosphere and try their best to preserve it. For example, in Vienna, where the beauty Sydney Opera House stands, people regard music as an indispensible part of their daily life. It is not exaggerating to say every Viennese is a musician, and we can see people discuss the symphony of Bach in the bar or cafe on the street.In addition, if the government builds elaborate art museums and concert halls, they can become the symbol of a city and boost tourism. By attracting a large population of tourists, the whole economy of a region or a country will boom accordingly. Not only the entrance tickets but also the other domains, such as the catering and hotel industry, can bring large profits. For example, Paris allures millions of tourists every year, and one k ey reason is people’s yearning for the grand Louvre Palace to admire the most brilliant artistic works in the world . As an art lover, one important purpose of my New York travel was to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I bought some souvenirs there. Hence, the money that governments spend on art museums and concert halls will be paid back by the visitors.In conclusion, although entertainment is a crucial aspect of people’s life and provides them a vehicle to release stress in present society, thecultural investment can pacify human’s soul to a more profound extend. Regarding the functions of the government and potential benefits cultural facilities can bring, it is wiser to use the funds in art museums and concert halls.政府类词汇：作业：2010.1.30Do you agree that the government should support the scientific resear ch even there’s no practical use？2009.8.29Do you agree or disagree that the governments should focus more on preserving the natural environments, less on the economic development.三．环保类素材思路：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:Economic growth seems to be more important than environmental concerns.Presently, governments are going to extremes by laying too much emphasis on the economic growth while neglecting the importance of environmental protection, which, so far as I'm concerned, is rather ill-considered. In fact the importance of environmental protection, in my observation, is at least equal to, if not outweighs that of economic growth.To begin with, it is people's well-being instead of the economy which should be prioritized in the government's administration. It is now increasingly clear that the income rise does not guarantee a happy life. The short-sighted pursuit for economic development is sacrificing the environment around us, and will yield in turn the hazard to human beings themselves. For instance, in my hometown, the municipal government allowed and protected two enterprises featured by heavy pollution in the pursuit of the short-term interest, which instantly brought forth severe air pollution, water pollution, and solid waste pollution, substantially jeopardizing people's health. In my observation, nearly 80 percent of the fellow townspeople complain that they are not leading a happy life. Hence, it is unadvisable to sacrifice the environment and devoid the citizens of happy lives.In addition, the economic development based on the over exploitation of the environment can't be sustainable. Taking the large-scale furniture enterprise in my hometown as an example, a large number of trees flanking the Yangtze River Dam were slashed down to supply lumber for the company. Though the temporary demand of that company is satisfied, it is foreseeable that should this demand emerge again in the short term, there would not be ample lumber supply available, for it takes decades for the trees to recover to its former lushness.Finally, the ignorance of environmental concerns will also likely elicit social problems, and ignite social unrest, which is not uncommon in China. According to the recent news report, the citizens of Ningbo furiously demonstrated against the government's shadowy plan to initiate a heavily polluting project, and strong dissatisfaction against the government was vented. If not taken properly, it might lead to social unrest and greatly hinder the social stability, which is definitely not the desirable outcome for the administrators.Therefore, considering all these factors, it is fair to conclude that governments should refrain from neglecting the environmental concerns while driving economic growth. If not, the price will be too heavy for them to afford.环保类词汇：作业：2009.6.5Do you agree or disagree that the most important thing that government can do in improving health care is to clean the environment.四．媒体类素材思路：2009.9.11It is only worth watching movies that can teach us something about reallife, agree or disagree.Many people nowadays are crazy about cartoon films and fantasy movies while some people are only fond of movies that can teach us something about real life. In my opinion, although movies teaching something in reality are worth watching, it is unfair to say that they are the only meaningful movies. Cartoon films and fantasy movies are another two kinds of movies that worth watching.Admittedly, people really benefit from movies that teach us something about real life. For instance, a boy overwhelmed by a sense of despair may turn to be positive about his life after watching the movie Forrest Gump, since he may be deeply moved by the plot that no matter how hard the life is, Gump just keeps running forward. However, it is inappropriate to assert that those movies are the only ones worth watching.Cartoon films are worth watching, for they give us a good way to relax. For one thing, the appearances of cartoon images are always quite funny. For example, a bunny may have two extremely long ears and its teeth are often amazingly big; a bird may be soaring with two tiny wings and a huge mouth. These animated images can easily make people laugh. For another, the fancy frames in animation are also enjoyable.Commonly, children are attracted and cheered by an exquisite 3-dimensional wedding room or a palace in animated movies. So, I am convinced that people really relax by watching cartoon films.Fantasy movies are also worth watching, for they allow us to think of new ideas. Take the famous fantasy movie Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for example. In this movie, cats can fly in the air and then suddenly disappear; a girl can become a giant in a second after drinking a special potion; poker cards can become trained soldiers with wizard’s spells. Fantasy movies help progress our thinking and inspire people to solve problems with new method in daily life, so they are also worthy of watching.As far as I am concerned, it is absurd to believe that it is only worth watching movies that can teach us something about real life. As another two important art forms, cartoons and fancy movies are equally important to our lives and should be given adequate respect. (381 words)2010.1.16Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:The advertising is the main cause of unhealthy eating habits. Many experts have warned us against some diseases caused by unhealthy eating habits, and then some people attribute those inappropriate habits to commercials. Although I concede that advertising is one of the factors accounting for people’s unhealthy eating habits, it’s too exaggerated to say that advertising is the only reason, because there are another two elements that can not be neglected.Admittedly, advertising may be a cause of unhealthy eating habits, for the advertisements of junk foods are often designed quite tempting in order to attract buyers. For example, the commercial of KFC is typically a combination of melodious music, fancy pictures and a slogan of “We do chicken right”, luring people to purchase the unhealthy food. However, it is an overstatement to assert that advertising is the only reason since the two following reasons exist.Heavy workload keeps people from having their meals regularly, which is considered as one of unhealthy eating habits. Nowadays, people have to work really hard to survive in the highly competitive society, so they barely have time to sit at the table and have dinners. Take a businessman for example. He may keep working for over 8 hours a dayto get all his work done and have no time for lunch. Consequently, he only has one meal a day. It is definitely an unhealthy eating habit, which result from too much business and a long working time.Besides, the so-called junk foods, such as fried chicken, cheese burgers and cola, are indeed more delicious, especially for children. Commonly, fried chicken wings are usually spicy and crisp compared with the blend and mild taste of steamed chicken wings, so it is easy to understand why those junk foods can soon become popular among young children. However, the fried wings, corns and chips are too oily, containing excessive fat and even some poisonous ingredients, all of which do harm to people’s health. So I believe the special taste and flavor explain why people love those unhealthy foods.In sum, it is inappropriate to reckon that advertising is the only cause of unhealthy eating habit because heavy workload and good taste of junk foods are another two reasons. I hope everyone can say no to the junk foods, reduce working hours and enjoy a more healthy life. (384 words)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:People can learn more from watching television than by reading books.Presently, a growing number of people opt to take television as the prime source to attain knowledge, which, so far as I'm concerned, is rather ill-considered. As a matter of fact, it is by reading books that people really understand the world and themselves.To begin with, the information provided by the television is oftentimes prone to be superficial, and gravely lacking in profundity. It is true that the speculators will know what has happened, but when it comes to the reasons behind it, they are often ignorant. It should be said that televisions are informative instead of incisive. A good book, as a matter of fact, not only describes and presents the facts and phenomena, but also digs into them and unfolds what we have often neglected and taken for granted. For instance, the book Oracle Bones written by Peter Hessler, unveils a China which most Chinese are unfamiliar with, stimulating us to rethink our past and present, which is very meaningful and oftentimes impossible to be achieved through television.In addition, the programs provided by the television are oftentimes meant to entertain instead of to inform. Take the popular dating program If You Are the One as an example, most people watch it purely for a laugh, for the appreciation of the beautiful women, or forthe different methods used by men to woo their future partners. On the whole, the purpose behind it is not serious, and the possibility that people can learn much from it borders on zero.Finally, the census of televisions in China is also considerably stricter than books, leaving out plenty of valuable information which might appear sensitive to the audience. After all, contrary to the private nature of books, the watching of televisions is more or less a public event, which will elicit more attention from the census bureau. Comparatively speaking, books enjoy a greater freedom to voice their sometimes rebellious observations. For instance, Cultural Revolution is seldom dealt with in China's televisions, but it has been discussed very extensively in the books, and people reading those books can actually learn a great deal more than through televisions.Therefore, considering all these factors, it is fair to conclude that compared with televisions, books are a more important source of knowledge.作业：2009.10.17Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Movies and televisions should always show audience good people are being rewarded and bad people are being punished.2009.2.14 (TPO 19)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:In order to become well-informed, one has to get information from different news resources.五. 科技类素材思路：08年11月8日（10年4月24日）Some scientists are responsible for the negative impacts that made by their discoveries.It sounds ridiculous that scientists should be responsible for the negative impacts of their discoveries in my opinion. The science is indeed neutraland innocent. In this circumstance, the scientists just do what they ought to. Admittedly, the scientists should consider the possible negative impacts brought by their discoveries and warn us against the negative impacts when they do the researches. However, the two horrible consequences will unavoidably follow if we require that the scientists should have the responsibility of the negative impacts of their discoveries.If the scientists are blamed or even punished for the negative effects caused by their discoveries, they will probably hesitate to continue any scientific research beneficial to human beings. Let’s take robots for example. Robots help us a lot in fulfilling tasks in some extremely tough environmental conditions, such as exploring the deep sea. However, robots may also hurt people when they are out of control. So, we have to realize that science is actually a double-bladed sword. Whether it is a curse or a blessing depends on what we use it for and how we use it. The main job of scientists is to create and invent new items, but not to consider all the detrimental effects of their discoveries. Being responsible for the harmful effects of the scientific innovation really impedes the progress of science.Moreover, some misanthropes and warmongers easily make excuses for。

People are delighted to talk about their relatives. As for me, I will definitely mention my uncle Luis whenever the name fits the topic of a conversation. He is my father’s younger brother, tightly-closed to my family by dropping in on my house every weekend. As he is sturdy, grey-haired, sparsely-bearded, and freckled, my neighbors always laugh at him.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Use specific reasons to support your answer.In the past decades, most people just should be spontaneously satisfied with food, clothes, medical treatment and other the basic daily necessities rather than other recreational luxuries, since the undeveloped science and technology. Today, as the gradually raised living standards, people have progressively beenaware that they are no longer just satisfied with daily necessities. Therefore, there is a heated debate about whether people are never satisfied with what they have along as the further development of our society.It’s undeniable that many people are not satisfied with what they have. This phenomenon is often reflected in job and living satisfaction surveys, where often 70 or 80 percent of respondents would seldom be satisfied with their actual job and life situation. The poor aspire after more money, welfare and salary for the little better life, and the bourgeois seek for fame, position and fortune for the luxurious and admirable surroundings, even if they have to be at the sacrifice of their health, family and even other key asset. In some cases, the characteristic of human being that people is seldom to be satisfied with what we have can lure us into a world of deadly sin, at others time this can be viewed as a positive trait. If human beings were always satisfied with what they have, we would still be livingin the stone ages. For never satisfied with the faint light of the candle, people invented the electric lamp that is beneficial for our more night activities obviously; for never satisfied with the slow speed of the cart, people originated the modern vehicle that makes much more commodities available to local market conveniently; for never satisfied with the traditional medical technology, people improved the modern medical facility that contributes to the longevity of human extensively.However, not all the people are never satisfied with what they have.

Therefore, just as we can scarcely say that nothing is absolute in this world, nor can we argue that nobody would be satisfied with what they have.Judging from above evidence offered, I can hardly agree that people are never satisfied with what they have and they always want something more or something different. To some extent, it lends an impetus to the social development that people are seldom satisfied with what they have. However, for an individual, it is meaningful and imperative to become more comfortable and satisfied with the current position to make our lives happier.08年12月21日；08年02月08日（北美）Do you agree or disagree: Television Advertising directed toward young children (from 2 to 5 years old) should be forbidden.
