From the excerpts, you can find that the activityseems to have achieved much succe ss, but there have alsobeen doubt and criticism.Write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which youshould:summarize the development of ice bucket challenge activity, and then express your opini ontowards the activity, especially whether the problem found with this kind of activity will finallyundermine its original purpose.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and langu agequality.Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Write your article on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.Excerpt 1:ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Takes U.S. by StormIn the last two weeks, the Ice Bucket Challenge™ has quite literally “soaked” the nation. Everyonefrom Ethel Kennedy to Justin Timberlake has poured a bucket of ice water over his or her headand challenged others do the same or make a donation to fight ALS within twenty-four hours.Between July 29 and today, August 12, The ALS Association and its 38 chapters have rec eived anastonishing $4 million in donations compared with $1.12 million during the same time period lastyear. The ALS Association is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of sup port from those peoplewho have been doused, made a donation, or both.“We have never seen anything like this in the history of the disease,” said Barbara Newh ouse,President and CEO of The ALS Association.With only about half of the general public knowledgeable about amyotrophic lateral scler osis (ALS),the Ice Bucket Challenge is making a profound difference. Since July 29, The Association haswelcomed more than 70,000 new donors to the cause.“While the monetary donations are absolutely incredible,” said Newhouse,“the visibility that thisdisease is getting as a result of the challenge is truly invaluable. Pe ople who have never beforeheard of ALS are now engaged in the fight to find treatments and a cure for ALS.”Excerpt 2:Ice bucket challenge: who’s pouring cold water on the idea?The ice bucket challenge has certainly raised awareness. Whether that’s primarily of the disease forwhich it is raising funds or the speed at which images of swimsuit-clad celebrities will go viral is along-term question. More pertinent right now is whether or not the cr aze has reached a tippingpoint.As it lived by social media, so the ice bucket challenge could die by it. The state of Califor nia iscurrently experiencing one of the worst droughts on record. So gestures such as co mpaniesdousing their staff en masse in hundreds of gallons of icy water, come across mo re as wasteful PRexercises than charitable gestures – and are being called out as such on Twitter.There has been a similar reaction in China. Last week, protesters in drought-stricken Hen anprovince raised empty red buckets over their heads, accompanied by the slogan “Hena n, pleasesay no to the ice bucket challenge”.China’s ministry for civil affairs, while broadly supportive, has warned citizens against the practice’s“entertainment and commercial tendencies”.But the real dampener could be the risk of bodily harm. Doctors around the world have warned ofrisks to elderly people, expectant mothers and people with heart conditions.[范文]Do It, but with Love and SincerityThe year 2014 witness target=_blankclass=infotextkey>witnessed the birth and boom of an activity online and offline both at home and abroad: the ice bucket challenge. Originally designed to attract public attention to the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the practice has aroused a heated debate during its development. There exist opposing views on this matter. Proponents, represented by the ALS Association, claim that it is beneficial and praiseworthy, for it substantially increased donations for sufferers of the disease. Opponents, however, argue that it wastes water, does harm to one’s body and risks becoming a form of entertainment or commercial advertisement.Personally, I deem that both sides have an element of truth in their arguments and the issue should not be addressed in a simple and crude way.On the one hand, no one can deny the fact that the practice has benefited patients of ALS. Many people have not only donated money but also begun to learn about the disease and pay more attention to it.On the other hand, however, the activity does seem to have deviated from its original purpose. As we have heeded, quite a number of the attendants got involved to attract eyeballs to themselves, rather than the disease. Most remain ignorant about the disease though bombarded by pictures of celebrities soaked in iced water that went viral online.In the final analysis, I should say that the activity is a two-edged sword. But we should not give up eating for fear of being choked. The best policy, as I see it, is to take measures to avoid the harm done by it. For instance, a campaign should be launched at the same time to provide people with more knowledge about the disease, and encourage them to help those in need with love and integrity. Besides, the activity can well take a different form in drought-stricken regions.2015年八级作文题目TEM 8 2015 WritingThere has been a new trend in economic activity- the sharing economy. The biggestsector of the sharing economy is travel. You find a potential host through a website. If you both get along and they are available during your planned trip, you stand a chance of getting a place for free. In addition, people also use website and apps to rent out their cars, houses, tools, clothes and services to one another. Time magazine has included this trend in a list titled “10 ideas that will change the world.” It said, “In an era when families are scattered and we may not know the people down the street, sharing things-even with strangers we’ve met just online-allow us to make meaningful connections.” What do you think of Time’s comment?My Views on the Sharing EconomyIn the first part you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second you should support your argument with appropriate details, in the last part you should bring what you’ve written to a natural conclusion or make a s ummary..Outline:My views on the sharing economyⅠ Thesis:The sharing economy plays an important part in modern societyⅡArgumentsA:It helps people make good use of resources.B:The rose's in her hand,the flavor in mine.C:People can make more friends by it.Ⅲ Summary:We can take an active part in the sharing economy and take good advantage of it.[范文]My Views on the Sharing EconomyThe sharing economy has been a new trend in economic activities.Many people benefit a lot through it while different people hold different opinions toward the new topic.On my personal note,with the development of the modern society and economy,the sharing economy plays an important part nowadays.My reasons are as follows.First of all,it helps people make good use of resources.As we all know,the owners can share their available bargains with people who need for free or rent their unused things to one another.It can make sure that many things can be used for as many times as possible instead of being abandoned in the corner.Secondly,as the old saying goes:"The rose's in her hand,the flavor in mine."The sharing economy is just like the rose,it is the bridge between owners and recipients and offers a brand new way to help others and the owners will receive happiness at the same time.When one release the note that he need a place to stay for some time,the one who can offer him will contact him and they both can get what they want.Last but not least,people can make more friends through this.By chatting or negotiating online,two strangers can become familiar with each other and make meaningful connections.For example,if you plan to travel and you find the man who are willing to offer you a place to stay,you will share your journey with him orher,then you may find you two have similar outlooks on life or other similarities.You may even keep in touch with each other for a long time after the bargain.In summary,as the Times magazine comments,the sharing economy is becoming one of 10 ideas that change the world.It brings much convenience in our dailylife.From my point of view,we can take an active part in the sharing economy and take full advantage of it.(304 words)2014年八级作文题目作文题目:my views on working from home(网友回忆版)作文范文:仅供参考,作文自己写探讨工作是在家里好还是在办公地点好[范文]My Views on Working from HomeOn weekdays, as people wake up and make the commute to work, hundreds of people dream of the day when they can work from home. With the integration of technology and innovation into work and home lives, it is delighted to find that we are now able to turn this dream into a reality. Gone are the days when people have to attend meetings in person. Now, those who work at home can communicate with colleagues via mobile phone, computer, and other digital devices.Regarding working from home, what firstly comes to our mind? Apparently, the reduction of congestion. In most cities, especially those metropolises, it is a commonplace that people squeeze in and out of a crowded bus or metro in rush hours. Let's imagine what amount of time can be saved when those people choose or are encouraged to work from home. The saved time can be devoted to precious work time, and thus, elevating efficiency. Furthermore, working at home eases the troublesome of some people working in the downtown while living in the suburb. It is also believed that a lot of people, whose representatives are working parents withchildcare responsibility, may benefit from the changing work pattern. Moms, in particularly, may don't have to struggle to juggle their careers and their families any more.But each new thing is always accompanied by potential dangers. The same is true for the trend of working from home. Though embodied with lots of advantages, it also brings about some negative impacts. For instance, the reduction of face-to-face communication may affect team spirits. There are much more distractions at home than in offices, especially for working women with babies. Besides, from the perspective of employers, it is hard for them to monitor the performance of workers at home.Therefore it is advisable that people take everything into consideration, balancing merits and demerits. Sometimes the job nature has a say in which work pattern fits you. Many people make a combination of working from home and at office, which helps to solve the dilemma. In a nutshell, working from home has both advantages and disadvantages, and the key always lies in how to make the best use of it.2013年八级作文题目WRITING (45 MIN)Is our society hostile to good people? According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily,76.1 percent of the r espondents say that our current society provides a “bad environment” for good people doing good things. On the other hand, the more optimistic would argue that each individual should try his or her best to do good things and be nice to others, instead of w aiting for the “social environment” to improve. So, what do you think? Is a sound social environment necessary for people to have high moral standards and be good to others?Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others?In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, language and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instruction may result in a loss of marks.Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.[范文]Recently the issue of providing a sound social environment for people to be good to others has been bought into focus among the general public. Depending on personal experience, personal type and emotional concern, some people hold the idea thatour c urrent society provides a “bad environment” for good people doing good things, and it is surely that a sound social environment is necessary, while others prefer to the view that each individual should try his or her best to do good things and be nice to o thers instead of waiting for the “social environment” to improve. In my opinion, I think it is important to provide a sound social environment for people to be good to others. There are many reasons explaining this case. As for me, I consider the following as the typical ones. First of all, with the rapid growth of the society, the gap between good and bad has become increasingly important in our daily life. Many people need other’s help deeply. They are vulnerable groups just as the olds. But in nowadays, many social problems have affected the consciousness of helping each other or being good to others. Why? For example, one day, on a young man’s way home, he saw an old woman falling onto the ground; he went over to help her instantly. You know what? Just because his kindness, he had put him into a desperate trouble. The old woman insisted that it was the young man who had knocked her down. Of course it is not a happy ending. Things like this often happened in our society. Maybe there are many people wanting to be good to others, but the world is just not so good to them. What’s worse, sometimes they even have to pay for their kindness just like the young man above. Apart from this, another aspect is that in modern society, more and more people live alone in tall buildings now. And this is usually the case that makes people ignore the friendship between neighbors. Those people who lives in these buildings usually go to work in the morning and back home at night. They often live in their own world. This phenomenon resulted in the degrading of the consciousness of helping each other, not to speak of being good to others. Furthermore, People have to pay more time and attention to their own lives now because completions in our society have grown stronger and stronger. And they probably will claim that they have no time or energy when it comes to lending a helping hand to others. To sum up, there is nothing useful for us to complain or blame others; the most important thing is that we should call the world to provide us a healthy environment. And of course it is necessary for the government and related organizations to improve the social environment for people to be good to others. 2012年八级作文题目WRITING (45 MIN)A recent survey of 2,000 college students asked about their attitudes towards phone calls and text-messaging (also known as Short Service) and found the students’ main goal was to pass along information in as little time, with as l ittle small talk, as possible. “What they like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other people,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington, D.C., who conducted the survey. “What they like least is that other people can reach them.” How far do you agree with Professor Baron? In this first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. Marks will beawarded for content, organization, language and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET FOUR.[范文]“We have in our mortal hand a power to destroy poverty and all forms of human life.” John F. Kennedy said in his Inaugural Address some 50 years ago. Indeed, science and technology has always been a mixed blessing. The same is true of cell phones, one of spectacular gadgets ever invented by humans in the past perhaps 100 years or so. Cell phones have two ambivalent faces, mostly benevolent, lovely and grim, even macabre sometimes. That is exactly what Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington, D.C. described, when he said, “What people like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other people. What they like least is that other people can reach them.” Professor Baron’s conclusion cannot be too true.While mobile devices today are facilitating our life in ways unimagined, they pose problems, too. One of these is that our private life can be encroached at any time and place. For example, suppose one is taking hard-earned holidays at a seaside resort when he receives a call from his boss, who told him that something goes wrong with his work or his client runs into trouble. All of a sudden, his pleasure is totally spoiled. At this moment, modern devices of communications show their gloomy and ghastly face. Blockage to such calls can be hardly possible unless you have decided to leave your present job for good.The second quandary brought about by the mobiles and the Internet is that people are cut off from contract with one another. This is a paradox. This happens most often in the world of business. With the help of these gadgets, many people stay home on workdays. At the click of their fingers, they can receive and send their work on the Net or cell phones. With a mobile, even their salaries can be automatically credited to their accounts. Few people nowadays stand in line receiving their paychecks. They don’t have to see people in person to do all these and other things. Economical and convenient as it is, people are more isolated from each other.Regrettably, the gloomy paradoxical aspect of mobiles goes beyond the field of our work. It also happens in our almost every facet of life. Music used to be a very good social event. But now, most people build a wall of music around them by listening to on-line music or songs downloaded and saved in their cell phones. Watching a film also becomes a detached process. Modern phones are almost almighty, with which they can enjoy the latest box hits in the isolation of the living room. They don’t have to go out, let alone j oining with friends. Communications in person are saved when, with omnipotent ‘i-phone’, students can learn a lot of subjects alone instead of discussing problems with their classmates, friends and brothers and sisters and parents. They even don’t have to go classes to acquire all these things where rich human communication can occur.“Every coin has two sides” is an old cliché. But it applies ideally to the case of cell phone today. Cell phones, on the one hand, render our life more convenient andenrich our treasure trove of existence. At the same time, however, they stymie our life. They encroach our privacy and meanwhile, make us reluctant to partake the rich real social life.2011年八级作文题目According to a recent newspaper report, many famous sites of historical interest in China have begun or are considering charging tourists higher entry fees during peek travel seasons. This has aroused a lot of public attention and also public debate. What is your opinion? Should famous Chinese sites of historical interest charge higher fees during peek travel seasons? Write an essay of about 400 words.In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.[范文]We have witnessed many reports both in newspapers and on the Internet that quite a few number of famous historic sites and natural resorts are considering charging tourists higher entry fees during peak travel seasons. Many experts and managers of these sites all believe that charging higher entry fees will lead tourists to travel less in peak seasons and come more often in other time. According to them, higher fees serve as a tool to balance the number of people visiting these famous resorts, as well as a source of fund that can provide for the protection of historic resorts. In addition, higher entry fees will also create profits for these historic sites. However, I strongly believe that higher entry fees in peak travel seasons are unreasonable and unfair, and thus should not be adopted.Primarily, tourists who aim at visiting a historic site will not be deterred by the relatively higher entry fees. In this sense, the goal of balancing the number of visitors cannot be achieved with higher fees. For example, tourists who come to Beijing all consider the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace as their must in travelling. They would come to these historic resorts no matter what the entry fees are. In addition, many tourists may have leisure time only during the peak season. Hence, they are forced to pay higher fees whereas the total number of visitors does not come down at all.Moreover, higher entry fees should not be considered as an option for protection of the historic sites. As is known to all, world-renowned historic resorts are all protected and maintained by local government. It is the government’s duty toprotect and provide funds for the historic sites and the relative maintenance. Funds for the protection of historic sites should come from taxes, not from the visitors. Therefore, to say that higher entry fees can provide funds for the protection of historic sites is unfair for the visitors.Finally, higher entry fees during peak travel seasons harm the right of the relatively poorer people who wish to travel during that time. To set the entry fees higher in peak travel seasons means that only those who can afford the tickets can have the right to visit those historic resorts. However, everyone is entitled the same right to enjoy the historic sites. There is no reason that these poorer people cannot visit these resorts as others do in peak travel seasons.In conclusion, higher entry fee cannot help balancing the number of visitors during peak travel seasons. It is also unfair for the visitors and harms the right of the relatively poorer people. Viewed in this light, charging visitors with higher entry fees during peak travel seasons is unreasonable, unfair and unjustified at best.2010 年八级作文题目Part ⅥWriting (45 min)Recently newspapers have reported that officials in a little-known mountainous area near Guiyang, Guizhou Province wanted to turn the area into a “central business district” for Guiyang and invited a foreign design company to give it an entirely new look. The design company came up with a blueprint for unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. This has triggered off different responses. Some appreciate of the bold innovation of the design, but others held that it failed to reflect regional characteristics or local cultural heritage. What is your view on this? Write an essay of about 400 words.[范文]No one can have failed to notice the fact that Chinese culture has become increasingly diversified in the past decades. This can be embodied by evidences in many fields, one of which is architecture. Recently newspapers have reported that officials in a little-known mountainous area near Guiyang, Guizhou Province wanted to turn the area into a “central business district” for Guiyang and invited a foreign design company to give it an entirely new look. The design company came up with a blueprint for unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. This has aroused a heated debate. Some approve of the bold innovation of the design while others claimed that it failed to reflect regional characteristics or local cultural heritage. When asked of my opinion, I am inclined to agree with the former one, and I base my point of view on the following reasons.In the first place, an unconventional or exotic design is in accordance with the primary function of this area. As we are told, this lot of land is meant to be a “central business district”. As the name indicates, this area is intended for business, mostpossibly international business, which is imaginable in the context of the nation’s move of reform and opening-up to the outside world. Such being the case, an innovative and super-futuristic design of the areas is quite understandable, for it may demonstrate local people’s wish to embrace and integrate with other cultures around the world. More foreign investors might be attracted here, which is just the aim of this program.In the second place, allowing space for novel things is essential for the development of an area. The concept of ancient and modern or that of local and alien is relative. What seems ancient now used to be modern centuries ago; similarly, what looks exotic today might be deemed natural tomorrow. A person needs to accept new knowledge to grow and the same is true with an area or a country. While new things often meet with objections at first, they are mostly accepted and loved later. A number of examples can be listed, with the most striking ones being the art museum in Paris designed by Bei Luming, a Chinese architect, and the Opera House in Sydney, whose designer only received due respect years after his death.Admittedly, we should respect and treasure traditional and regional culture, inherit it and carry it on. However, preserving the old and traditional should not be the reason to refuse the new and modern.Bringing what has been discussed into conclusion, we may claim that it is understandable and acceptable for people in the above-mentioned area to adopt the foreign design.2009 年八级作文题目Part ⅥWriting (45 min)Mandarin, or putonghua, is the standard service sector language in our country. But recently, employees at a big city's subway station have been busy learning dialects of other parts of the country. Proponents say that using dialects in the subway is a way to provide better service. But opponents think that encouraging the use of dialects in public counters the national policy to promote putonghua. What is your opinion? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic: Are dialects just as acceptable in public places?[范文]Dialects Are Acceptable in Public PlacesAs is well known, mandarin, or Putonghua, is the standard service sector language in China. Lately,however, some employees of a metropolitan subway company start using dialects to cater to the needs of people from different areas. This act gave rise to a heated debate around the country. Advocates deem it as an effort to render better service while opponents see the countering effects of such a movement to the national policy of promoting Putonghua across China.When asked of my opinion, I truly find it difficult to offer because I am not adequately informed of the way those employees of the subway company use the dialects. If they just learn dialects in an effort to understand customers better, whileinsisting speaking Mandarin at the same time, I believe it is absolutely acceptable. However, if they voluntarily talk to customers in dialects, I believe it is unnecessary and really goes against the national policy of promoting Putonghua around the country. Basically, I believe, the former is the case. So, it can be said that I am of the opinion that dialects should be tolerated in public places.Truly, mandarin, which means "common language", is the country's predominant language and is widely used in China, but dialects still enjoy popularity in most parts of the country. Except for some residents in metropolises like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, people in most parts of the country communicate in dialectical Chinese in their daily life. For those less educated people in underdeveloped areas, their dialect is their only language. If it were forbidden in public places, they could not communicate at all.Of course, we should promote the use of Putonghua in public places, but we should understand that it takes time. We cannot expect that everyone in the countryside automatically has the ability to speak Putonghua when he or she steps into the big city. They need a process of learning, while subway or bus stations are usually their first class to learn Putonghua. As primary students, they should be allowed the chance to learn step by step. While trying to communicate in Putonghua with customers, workers in service sectors should first learn to understand their customers. So it is nothing to blame for them to learn some daily expressions in various dialects.Therefore, it can be said that the opponents of the practice mentioned above are just making a fuss. And, most possibly, they failed to realize the fact that subway companies are just service sectors, whose primary task is to provide service instead of promoting a language.2008 年八级作文题目Part ⅥWriting (45 min)In a few months’ time you are going to graduate from university. How do you think your college years have prepared you for your future life? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic: What I have learned from my years at university[范文]What I have learned from my years at university As my college life is drawing to an end, it is about time to raise the question “what have I learned from my years at university?”.To be frank, I did not learn too much.First, as to my professional knowledge, I just followed the flow of curriculum, neither lagged behind nor excelling in the class. I only find myself better in English than in high school or than most of those non-English-majors. I can speak English, but not very fluently; I can write in English, but just some easy articles; I can understand most of the materials in the textbooks, but not very professional or colloquial expressions; I can read in English, but often need to look up words in。

英语作文冰桶挑战The Ice Bucket Challenge。
The Ice Bucket Challenge became a viral sensation inthe summer of 2014, sweeping across social media andraising awareness and funds for amyotrophic lateralsclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The challenge involved people dumping a bucket of ice waterover their heads and then nominating others to do the same, all in the name of charity.The origins of the Ice Bucket Challenge can be traced back to 2013 when Pete Frates, a former college baseball player who was diagnosed with ALS, and his friend Pat Quinn, began using social media to raise awareness about the disease. The challenge gained momentum in the summer of2014 when it started to spread like wildfire on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.The rules of the Ice Bucket Challenge were simple:participants had 24 hours to either dump a bucket of ice water over their heads or donate to an ALS charity. Many chose to do both, and the challenge quickly gained popularity among celebrities, athletes, and everyday people alike. The viral nature of the challenge helped to raise millions of dollars for ALS research and support.The Ice Bucket Challenge was not without its critics, however. Some questioned whether the challenge was truly effective in raising awareness about ALS, while others felt that it was more about social media trends than supporting a worthy cause. Despite the criticisms, there is no denying that the Ice Bucket Challenge had a significant impact on ALS research and fundraising efforts.One of the most powerful aspects of the Ice Bucket Challenge was its ability to bring people together for a common cause. Friends and family members nominated each other to take the challenge, and people from all walks of life participated, from children to grandparents, all united in their support for those affected by ALS.In addition to raising funds for ALS research, the Ice Bucket Challenge also helped to shine a spotlight on the daily struggles of those living with the disease. It gave a platform for people to share their stories and experiences, and it fostered a sense of community and solidarity among those affected by ALS.The legacy of the Ice Bucket Challenge lives on today, as the funds raised continue to support ALS research and patient care. The challenge also serves as a reminder of the power of social media and the ability of ordinary people to make a difference in the world.In conclusion, the Ice Bucket Challenge was a phenomenon that captured the attention of millions and had a lasting impact on ALS research and fundraising. It brought people together, raised awareness, and demonstrated the potential of social media to mobilize support for important causes.

2016专八作文冰桶挑战
2016专八作文冰桶挑战2014年,冰桶挑战在全球范围内掀起了一股热潮,成为了一种慈善活动的标志。
参与者需要倒上一桶冰水,然后向社交媒体发起挑战,要求被挑战者在24小时内也完成同样的挑战,否则需要向慈善机构捐款。
这一活动在社交网络上迅速传播,吸引了无数人的关注和参与。
然而,对于这一活动,人们的看法却存在分歧。
支持者认为,冰桶挑战不仅可以引起公众对慈善事业的关注,还可以通过社交网络的传播,为慈善机构筹集更多的资金。
此外,这一活动也可以增加人们对于慈善事业的参与度,让更多的人了解到慈善的重要性。
更重要的是,冰桶挑战可以让人们在享受快乐的同时,也能够为慈善事业尽一份力量,让社会更加和谐。
然而,也有一些人对冰桶挑战持质疑态度。
他们认为,这种行为只是一种形式主义,只是为了炫耀自己的参与,而没有真正关心慈善事业。
此外,冰桶挑战也存在安全隐患,如果没有得到正确的指导和保护,参与者可能会受到身体伤害。
更重要的是,一些人只是完成了挑战,却没有真正履行向慈善机构捐款的承诺,这使得原本的慈善活动变得虚假和功利。
对于这一争议,我认为,冰桶挑战作为一种慈善活动,本身并没有错,关键在于参与者的态度和行为。
如果参与者能够真正关心慈善事业,不仅仅是完成挑战,还能够履行向慈善机构捐款的承诺,那么冰桶挑战就是一种积极的社会行为。
同时,也需要慈善机构和社会各界的监督,确保募集到的资金能够真正用于慈善事业,让这种活动发挥出更大的社会意义。
总的来说,冰桶挑战作为一种慈善活动,无论是从宣传效果还是资金筹集方面,都取得了一定的成就。

2016年专八16分范文My Opinion on the Ice Bucket Chall
My Opinion on the Ice Bucket Challenge ActivityRecently, the Ice Bucket Challenge has attracted increasing attention of the public, which was was initiated to raise money and awareness for the disease of ALS. Opinions about this activity vary. In the beginning of the challenge, most people heaped praises on it because it received an astonishing amount of money in donations in a short time. But later, people generated doubt and even criticism on it, pointing out that the practice lost its original purpose and became the tool of entertainment and commerce, not only wasting large amounts of water, but also doing more harm than good to human health.As for myself, the disadvantages of this activity outweigh its disadvantages in view of its harm to health, a waste of water and a distortion of the campaign.Although we should never underestimate the blessings it brings to AlS people that lots of money was raised to find better treatments for ALS and many ordinary people began to care about the disease, the disadvantages the challenge causes can not be ignored.First of all, it is harmful to human bodies when pouring a bucket of ice water over people’s heads. Some people with poor health conditions are not fit for such activity, but to accept the challenge from others or for some other reasons, they have no choice but to do so, which directly causes many challengers to get sick or even more serious illness.Secondly, previous water resources are wasted.Many people in drought-stricken areas are even lacking of drinking water and have a shower once a week. But in this activity, such rare water is used to “finish the challenge” and stands no chance of any reusing. It shows the worst respect for drought areas and should be ceased immediately.Last but not least, Ice Bucket Challenge is losing its original purpose. It gained popularity though media in the beginning, but now it becomes the tool of the entertainment circle. Many stars use it to attract more fans’ attention or charge for performance. We should never forget that it was initiated for ALS rather than super stars. Without its original purpose, it is just a joke.All in all, I am totally against such activity. We should hold more rational activity to help ALS rather than through impulse.。

So, I gathered my friends, set up the camera, and got ready to take the plunge. As the icy water cascaded over me, I couldn't help but scream and shiver, but I also felt a sense of accomplishment knowing that I was contributing to a worthy cause.After completing the challenge, I nominated a few of my friends, and it was amazing to see how quickly the trend spread.

冰桶挑战英语作文The Ice Bucket Challenge。
The Ice Bucket Challenge is a viral social media campaign that started in the summer of 2014. Participants are challenged to dump a bucket of ice water over their heads and then nominate others to do the same. The challenge is meant to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It causes the muscles to weaken and waste away, leading to difficulty speaking, swallowing, and breathing. There is currently no cure for ALS, and the average life expectancy after diagnosis is two to five years.The Ice Bucket Challenge was started by Pete Frates, a former college baseball player who was diagnosed with ALSin 2012. Frates challenged his friends and family to participate in the challenge and donate to ALS research. The campaign quickly spread on social media, with celebrities, politicians, and athletes taking part.The rules of the Ice Bucket Challenge are simple. Participants must film themselves dumping a bucket of ice water over their heads, post the video on social media, and nominate others to do the same within 24 hours. Those who decline the challenge are asked to donate to ALS research. Many participants choose to do both.The Ice Bucket Challenge was a massive success, raising over $115 million for ALS research in just a few months. The funds helped to accelerate research into the disease, leading to new drug therapies and a better understanding of its underlying causes.Critics of the campaign argued that it was a form of "slacktivism," or a way for people to feel good about themselves without actually making a meaningfulcontribution to the cause. They also pointed out that thechallenge was wasteful, as participants were using large amounts of water during a time of drought in some parts of the world.Despite these criticisms, the Ice Bucket Challenge remains a powerful example of the potential of social media to raise awareness and funds for important causes. It also serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of ALS and the urgent need for a cure.。

I was sitting on my couch one day, scrolling through Facebook, and suddenly, every second post was about this challenge.People were doing it for all sorts of reasons. Some did it to raise awareness for ALS, others just wanted to be part of the trend. I remember watching a video of my uncle, who's usually quite serious, laughing hysterically as he poured the icy water over his head. It was hilarious!But beneath the fun and games, there was a serious message. ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a devastating disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It's a tough one to talk about, but the Ice Bucket Challenge seemed to break down thosebarriers.I remember participating in the challenge myself. It was freezing cold, but I did it for a good reason. I nominated a few friends, and they did it too. It was like a chain reaction, and it felt amazing to be part of something that was making a real difference.Looking back, the Ice Bucket Challenge was more than just a trend. It was a global movement that brought people together, raised awareness for a crucial issue, and left a lasting impression on all who participated. Even now, when I think about it, I can't help but smile and feel a sense of pride。
