7.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?The most important goal of education is to teach people how to educate themselves.
(绝对词+事实)
Education plays a significant role for both individuals and society nowadays,and thus arouse people to consider the goals of it.Some experts on education advocate that the most important goal of education is to teaching people how to educate themselves.While, as far as I am concerned,even though there is an element of truth in such a statement,to say learning how to educate ourselves is the most essential goal is absolutely an overstatement.
Admittedly,learning is ultimately an individual thing,which means we all finally have to learn how to study by ourselves and digest new knowledge without the help from our teachers and parents.Even though during our childhood,our kindergarten teachers told us how to read and write correctly,it is clear that when we are admitted in universities,the way we learn is not following every word our professors tell us,the most valuable lesson we learn at college is how to behave,think and finally how to educate ourselves when we enter the society having no so-called teachers accompanying around us any longer. However,from a different individual perspective or a nation view,I would not take the most important goal as self-education.
From an individual view,the reason we receive education lies in the aspiration of
self-improvement.When a person decides to receive tertiary education,he might not think the stuff of self-education,but instead of that,the pure incentive might be stepping further in the area which he or she is interested in and wanna take as a career in the near future. Take my brother for example.After finishing undergraduate education,in order to get himself well equipped as a doctor,which is his dream job since he was a little boy,he chose to apply for medical graduate student.Even though he has dabbled in various medical knowledge,it is clear that further education in medical college provides him more systematic and professional knowledge.Therefore,,for him,the most important goal of further education is to prepare him to be a better person and make sure a prospective career life.
From a nation standpoint,making sure people involved in school builds solid foundation for the development of the whole country.No one can deny the saying,knowledge is power,which can be interpreted as erudite people contribute significantly to the society and the country.Take China for example.Years ago,China introduced
nine-year-compulsory education,in which all of the kids are obliged to attend school before15years old,following the belief that"read for the rise of China".What is more,the more people admitted to school,the greater chance it is to cultivate excellent people act as mainstay for the revitalization of the nation.Thus,it is undoubted that,for a nation, education aims at prosperity and development rather than merely learning self-education.
To sum up,there are plenty of goals lie in education,when it comes to which goal is the most important one,different angle leads to different verdict.From my perspective,both
self-improvement and contribution to nation are most important goals,and it is hasty to conclude that learning how to educate oneself is the most important goal.
9.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?The most important things people learn are from their families.
(绝对词learn1.2from families;learn other from society/school)
The most important thing people learn is from families.
不同意:
1.在学校获取知识
2.在社会获取工作经验和生存技能
3.在社会学会交际
From the first minute of our birth,our families are around us:it is parents who teach us how to speak;it is parents who teach us the precious of honest;it is parents who give us inspiration when we feel blue.No wonder many people hold an idea that the most important thing people learn is from families.From my perspective,I claim that,even though families play a vital role in people's growth,the most important thing learned by people is from outside the family.
In the first place,people learn knowledge from school.It is universally acknowledged that people spend most of youth,from age of six to twenty-two,in schools,a place from which people can learn vast wealth of knowledge.In elementary school,life is filled with the charming of words and the myth of maths.Entering into high school, people can exploit the world of physics and biology,which is wonderful and fantastic.In the colleges and universities,students have opportunities to discuss with prestigious professors and prepare for the future career.In summary,schools are so significant that people cannot make a living without them.
What's more,people can gain working experience and living skills in the society. Confronting with fierce competition,people know how to improve themselves and adapt to this society.After working in a working unit,people grasp abundant working experience.In an unfamiliar environment where families are not around,people learn to protect and take care of themselves.So living without families,people can grow up and live independently.Those living skills and experience are highly important for a people to make a living in today's society.
Last but not least,people obtain the ability to build social connections outside families. In the family,all people we get along with are our parents,brothers and sisters,who have blood relationship with us.Spending all time with them is not conductive to make
contact with strange people.No one can deny that we need to make contact with more strangers than relatives.That is to say families,which are too familiar for us,are not able to provide a proper environment to learn the skills of making acquaintance. Therefore,we should step out of families to make contact with others.
From what have been mentioned above,I firmly contend that the most important thing people learn is not from families.
17.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?The most important problems in today’s world will be solved in our lifetime.
(绝对词)
Sample answer:
We live in a world with countless problems and personally I don’t believe any of the most important will be solved in our lifetime.The truth is humans are still too selfish and greedy.We always think of our own benefit and comfort first and are unable to put aside our differences to solve worldwide problems.
War is a problem that has devastated the world for centuries and continues to be one of the world’s biggest problems.Whether people fight for power,resources or racial and religious differences,it seems that we are incapable of living together in harmony. The Second World War was supposed to be‘the war to end all wars’but since then many wars have been fought and continue to be fought.It is therefore unlikely that human nature will change and there is no indication that world’s peace will be achieved in our lifetime,if ever.
Climate change is also starting to take a serious toll as increased temperatures have resulted in flooding worldwide.An important part of tackling climate change is to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases,but as yet no real progress has been made.Individually we are not prepared to give up using our cars,or to use less electricity or gas.We are also unwilling to pay the extra costs or suffer the inconvenience of renewable energy.Nations are also unwilling to slow their development.While there have been numerous conferences and meetings to talk about tackling climate change,very little has really been achieved.
Over population is a very serious and growing problem because the more people there are on the planet,the more waste and pollution is produced.The growing population is also straining the world’s resources to the point where scientists are unsure if we will be able to feed the population in the future.In an effort to tackle down the problem,China introduced a one child policy,which helped to reduce the growth of the population,but also create an ageing population where there are not enough young people to support the old.As yet there is no effective solution to solve this problem and it is unlikely to be solved any time soon as the population continues to grow.
In summary,the world’s biggest problems will almost definitely be passed on to our children because,while we are starting to make progress in some areas,essentially we cannot make real progress until nations start working together to make policies instead of just talking.Individuals also need to try and make an effort to solve the world’s problems.
21.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Competition between friends always has a negative effect on their friendship.
(事实+绝对词always)
对competition的理解不能太狭隘它可以是fight for a good chance of promotion, compete who is a better learn and earn higher grades,who is more beautiful, who wears more charmingly,who lives better,all aspects of life work and study. competition分为healthy/unhealthy,positive/negative
1.admittedly,If it is the blinkered people we are talking about,competition
between friends does have negative effect on their friendship.Fight for an opportunity,angry with each other,selfishness----leads to break-up.However, other positive influence also lie in competition as well.
2.generate more appreciation between friends and leads to more imitate and
solid relation.Learn from each other,grow into better person.
3.encourage improvement.
Therefore,depends on what type of person they are.
【范文】
It has often been thought that completion could be either beneficial or harmful to friendship.When you compete too much with your friends,it could mean the end of a good relationship.In any case,you ought to learn well how to distinguish what is healthy competition between friends and what is not.
More often than not,there is nothing wrong with healthy competition between friends.Forexample,when you play sports or games and try to beat your friend, competition is normaland natural.This type of competition is healthy because,win or lose,both friends could enjoyit in good humor.Further,betting on which team will win is also a healthy way to competebetween friends,without causing resentment and conflict whatever.Generally speaking,positive competition would do you good, motivating you to work harder and strive for more.When in doubt at this point,it is always inspirational to recall the teaching of Confucius:"Friends are more beneficial who are better than you,one way or another."(无友不如己者)(one way or another无论怎样)
Trying to be better than your friends at everything might not be so healthy, though.There areseveral ways in which a friendship could be severely damaged by competition,invariablymixed with rage and/or jealousy.Sometimes,such negative emotions might turn out to be too overwhelming to be swallowed.One sure way to corrupt friendship is when two friendshappen to find something they might both want so badly that they could not share peacefully,but opt to compete in a mood of pride and superiority.It is easy to tell that non-healthyexamples of competition between friends include:who has the best clothes,the best place tolive and the best car.Thus, if you want to keep your friendship healthy,you must try to stopthis type of behavior.
Accordingly,if you want to keep friendship alive,it is important to enjoy healthy competition and avoid unhealthy compettiion.The right thing to do,then,is to keep competition positive,if possible at all.You may now ask yourself this question:given that unhealthy completionbetween friends is permanent,could friendship as you know it last forever?

1.A high school has decided that all students must take a class in which they learn a practical skill.School administrators are trying to decide whether to hold a class in cooking,managing personal finances or auto repair.Which do you think the school should require students to take?Why?
(利弊+对比)
Apart from making a good academic performance,high schools nowadays are taking more and more importance into non-ac a d e mic skills,which equip students with more abilities and do good for their future life.When it comes to the issue that which practical skills should a high school recommend its students to learn,cooking? managing personal finances?or auto repair?Well,from my perspective,the first two should not be crossed out from the required-course list(optional course选修课).
Firstly,auto repair is not necessary for everyone.On the one hand,for people who could not afford a car,there is no need to learn the skill of repair.According to statistics,only1/3people in the country drive cars,and the result in less developed countries,such as some African countries,is even worse.Hence,since we cannot make sure every high schoolers will own a car in the future,there is no reason to require all of them learn the skill of auto repair.On the other hand,for those people who have a car,car repair is sometimes too hard to handle and they'would better send the broken car to the professionals.Take my brother for example.His father sent him a BMW as his18th birthday gift.One day the car broke down,in the beginning,he tried to repair it by himself according to his little automobile fundamentals,but things
turned out to be screwed up after he took apart his car in order to find the problem. Eventually,he gave up and delivered his car to the motor repair center,where his car was fixed just in2hours and costed only20dollars.Therefore,considering circumstances I discuss above,there is no very need to force students to learn auto repair.
Secondly,cooking guarantees the happiness in life.I agree with the saying that the art of life lies in cooking.Just imagine the picture of a big family having dinner around the table talking about interesting stories and warm moments happened before.It is cooking dinner at home that enables such a touching occasion.Besides,according to a survey conducted by the humanities and social science institute,the more people cooking and eating together,the closer relationship it is between family members. Thus,cooking plays an important role in generating happiness.And for students in high school,learning cooking skills not only enables them to release some burden from their laborious moms,but also cultivates them into a wonderful chief when they have a family in the near future.
Thirdly,financial ability allows independence and security for people.As the popular saying goes,"Economic base determines the superstructure",which means for individuals,the more solid economic base we have,the more sense of independent and security we obtain.When I was a little girl,my mother gave me pocket money and infused me the conception of money management,which benefits me in a great deal. The case of my sister is also in point.After she was admitted to college,she started to invest a small part of her living expenses,which is much more than pocket money she received before in childhood,in the stock market.And it turns out she made a huge profit later during her college time.According to her,it is the finance knowledge she learned at high school that helped her to make lots of money and enabled her not not to worry about living by herself after graduation,and relying on her family anymore. Therefore,it is clear that excellent financial ability guarantees independence and security for high schoolers after their graduation.
To sum up,for high school students who are under heavy academic pressure,if there has to be some required skills to be learned,I suggest cooking and finance knowledge,which can benefit everyone in their future.Conversely,since auto repair does not fit into everyone's need,it can be canceled from the list.
3.If your teacher says something incorrect in a class,what will you do?
1.Interrupt your teacher right away
2.Keep silent
3.Correct your teacher after class.
(对比+事实)找不支持选择的不好来说明自己选择的选项的好处。
段落展开中要注意比较。
解析:这个题目是一个三选一的题目,笔者建议选择第三个选项,即correct your teacher after class,选用总分总结构,后面给出两个理由。
全文思路梳理:
理由一.不会冒犯自己的老师,让老师下不了台,不会耽误课程的进度,相反直接打断老师,是一种不尊重老师的表现。
(Firstly,correcting teachers’mistakes after class won’t offend them and make them embarrassed.This practice can well maintain teachers’image and authority in front of students,which is very important for the successful proceeding of the whole class.(+具体事例)However,interrupting teachers right away will challenge teachers’authority,which makes the class in disorder.Worse,the teaching process will be negatively affected with the result that student will have a bad academic performance.)
反对论证的技巧:对此前的论述进行否定转述,加入修饰和词汇的变化
eg,maintain teachers'image and authority----challenge teachers'authority
be important for sucessful proceeding of the whole class-----make the class in disorder,teaching process be negatively affected.
理由二.课下纠正可以让老师意识到自己的错误,从而改正并改善教学内容VS保持沉默的话,老师就不能改正自己的错误,影响将来的学生接受的信息质量(Secondly,it can enable teachers to realize their own mistakes that we point out the incorrect information after class.As a result,teachers will know what the problems are and then endeavor to correct these errors.On the contrary,keeping silent make it impossible for teachers to be aware of the wrong information they imparted to students.Consequently,those students who accidently neglect teachers’faults are likely to be misled.)
realize problems,correct errors,know the problems,be aware of the wrong information,point out the incorrect information
结尾段:Judging from the above evidence offered,I am convinced that we should correct teachers after class in case they make any mistakes,since this action will maintain the authority of our teachers and also bring benefits to the quality of education.
5.When choosing a place for living,which factor is the most important one for you?1.Living in an area not expensive,2.Living close to relatives3.Living in an area with many shops and restaurants.
(利弊+对比)
not expensive:
money saved from renting can be used in other areas which are more worthy.Earning money is painstaking,and I would rather spend it on the things and activities.living condition is less important than mental delightness.Take my sister for example.born in a poor family and have no extra money to prepare for studying abroad,however, things began to change after she graduated,got a job,and earned money.With limited salary,she decided to rent a cheaper house,and used the left money touse money she saved from renting,take part in TOEFL and GRE,study,get high scores and finally was admitted to standford with full scholarship.On the contrary,if she wasted too much on renting and have no extra money saved,she would have no chance to take exams and go for further degree abroad,which can change her life route significantly.
Secondly,even though cannot live far from relatives,there are other ways that guarantee the intimate bond between family members.Thanks for modern telecommunication techniques,keep in touch,tone of speech and facial expression can be delivere through camera and videos,making phone call.what is more,money saved from renting can be used to go for a famlily trip.which not only release pressure but also make family members closer to each other.On the contrary.if think little of family,are likely to drift apart even though live next to each other,might too lazy and indifferent to contact each other.
Thirdly,online shopping makes it easier and convenience to meet our eating and daily need.Take...for example(how shopping online benefit life).What is more,even for those who are not interested and good at shopping online,drive for a far distance to big grosery and supermarket is also beneficial for release presure and,since it is a sort of a big family activity which might involves in serveral family members,good for family life.Also,cooking generate happiness.On the c,ontrary,with close resuarant and shopping center,it is likely that people will waste more money and time eating out and purchasing.
6.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is as important for older people to study or learn new things as it is for younger people.
(事实+找原因+对比the younger people)
Firstly,studying new and updated things is actually good for the older's health: Alzheimer's disease
Secondly,Self-improvement is a life long thing,no matter for the older or the younger, it is equally important for everyone.
Admittedly,for some older whose physical condition is not allow them to learn hard,it is better for them to enjoy peace life.However,even under such circumstance,the older can learn something new but easy,which benefits them and make them fee, younger than before.
8.Some students prefer to have their final grades determined by numerous small assignments,whereas others prefer to have their final grades determined by only a few large assignments.Which do you prefer and why?
(对比)
Firstly,numerous small assignments test various learning levels,which generate a more real final grade.Final grade sometimes plays as the reflection of our academic ability,The higher the grade is,the more capable we are.Conversely,just a few large assignments may examine limited abilities which shows only a few capabilities.Take myself for example.
Secondly,plenty of small assignments make students stay focused and concentrated on learning all the time,which generate better final grades.
What is more,a few large assignments do share their disadvantages.Even though Save more time,students do not need to spend too much time preparing assignment,which gives them more free time to participate in their interest activities.However,not reflect their actual strength.Take my sister for example.She used to have a very good academic performance at high school,she could score high at almost every small examinations.But things screwed up when she did not play as well as usual due to her bad and stressed physical condition.Unfortunately,she was admitted to a obscure university.Conversely,if the admission result could be determined by her excellent daily work and GPA,it is likely that she can go to her dream school.Therefore,it seems clearly to me that.......
10.Some people say that students should study many lessons during a semester,but others say that it is better for students to just take three or four lessons.Which do you think is better?
(对比+利弊)
Firstly,a large variety of lessons benefits more in self-improvement.Broaden horizon, have access to more areas,which conduces to achievement in our goals and mission. Eg.During my sophomore year,major in journalism,interview an economic figure, including writing news,shooting video,take photos.Thanks to the lessons learned last semester,could finish the interview successfully.What is more,since I minored in Economy,I got a better understanding of the words my interviewees said,and communicate further and fluently with him.Conversely,if i just learned news writing,I would not make such an overall and great report.
my compulsory/elective,optional course;economic figure,major in journalism, however,
Secondly,diverse lessons produce more opportunities in upcoming career life.
Admittedly,just taking three or four,save time,do not need to go through too much heavy academic pressure.However,why not study hard and learn more when we are young and have enough time?It seems to me that....
11.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Workers would be much happier if they are doing different types of tasks during their workday than doing the same task.
(对比)
【differnent types work】
Firstly,doing different types of tasks guarantees a happier career life.Train various skills,improve work ability.More likely to be spoken highly by boss.higher probability of promotion.
Secondly,various types of tasks leads to fringe benefits,where happiness lies in. Make friends with different people who share same interest with you,turn your co-workers into friends,enlarge Social circle.What is more,take my roommate as an ed to be a copy writer,buckled down to chairs and create disposals and ideas all the time,but in fact,she is a travel enthusiast.One day,she got a chance to negotiate with foreign clients,which needed her go on a business trip abroad.She said yes to it,and fortunately,she got a bonus to travel abroad. According to her,it is doing different tasks that enables her to experience more than before and make her life more interesting.
Admittedly,concentrating on just one thing helps learning more in that area,which help the work to be an expert in that field.However,According to s survey conducted by World Health Organization,people are more likely to feel tired and bored when they devote all their passion and energy in one thing all the time,even worse,due to bad mental conditions,work efficiency will be reduced in a great degree.Therefore,in order to be a good employee,the first thing we should do is drag yourself out of doing just one type of work day and nigh,be smart and efficient,and eventually,you will obtain happiness.
【one task work】
There are different standpoints regarding the happiness from the work.Some argue that workers would gain more satisfaction from doing different typesof tasks while others held the opposite idea that to do the same task leadsthem to be happier.In fact,it is hard to judge and up to the context of thework.
Obviously,the majority of people are reluctant to repeat their action mechanically, because they cannot endure the tediousness created by the same work.Trying to do different types of tasks is beneficial for them to keep the motivation of job and is easy to satisfy themselves with achieving success in varied domains.
Meanwhile,however,other consequences as a result from dissimilar sorts of work are supposed to be taken into account as well.
The different types of tasks would make it impossible for workers to be happy sometimes: they coerce these peopleto face new challenges and it costs more time to acquaint every kind of tasks which even would be changed definitely in the second day.Except few extremely bold people,a huge number of workers will feel quite stressful when something is completely new for them.
Further,the same type of task doesn’t means the context of the job is the same.People are likely to suffer from varied kinds of formidableness in the daily work.An architect should do several different plans for one project.Even though they draw a window for one building’s fa?ade,they have to establish dozens of models of windows to match the whole genre.Besides,if their work does not fulfill their customers’demands,the architects have no choice but to redraw the fa?ade.This type of work on some stage can also be called working repeatedly,whereas the context is definitely different and filled with challenges.It affords the strong happiness when the clients acclaim the work at last.So,I believe that no one will affirm that being an architect is a boring position even though they only do design every day.
Consequently,we have to clarify which reasons lead workers to be happy.How different the type of tasks is unlikely to simply determine how happy workers can be during their workday.Ifone type of task containing diverse challenges stimulates someone’s motivation,the people would attain likewise pleasure from the work.
12.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Teachers were more appreciated and valued by the society in the past than they are now.
(对比now vs past)
As the education is playing more and more important role in social life,one controversial issue comes up that whether nowadays students do not respect teachers as much as in the past.Admittedly,we are emphasizing that everyone is equal and stressing the right to express our ideas different from others.However,on one can assert that current teachers are less appreciated and valued than ever before.Despite of different people hold various perspectives,I,given this chance,prefer to assert that nowadays students respect teachers as much as in the past.My point of view,involves the fundamental and deep discussions as follows.
1Conception concern about the ecucation。
