You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Some people say that computers can translate all kinds of languages. Therefore, children do not need to learn foreign language any more. To what extent do you agree or disagree? /What is your opinion?三三法摸板Computers play an important role in modern society and computers have become so powerful that some computer programs can even translate nearly all kinds of languages. Therefore, some people suggest that it is not necessary for children to learn foreign languages. This opinion seems to be possible, but I disagree with it for the following three reasons.First of all, children need to learn foreign languages well because a language is the most important means of communication. With the process of economic globalization, it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation among different nations and countries. As different countries use different languages, people can not communicate with one another if they do not know the languages of others. As the fact shows a computer with a practical translation software is not always available. In order to have sufficient good communication, not only children, as the future of the world, but also we have to learn foreign languages well.In addition, language study can give us much more than the language itself. Language is very closely related to a countrys culture, history, and even religion. Children can know the culture of a country through language study and sometimes can have fun with it. For example, they come to love Santa Claus, and know that jealousy is one of Christianitys seven sins and is not something they should do according to their exposure to the English language itself. To learn a foreign language is also to learn a way of thinking and philosophy of work and life.Admittedly, in some cases, computers bring some advantages to us. Some translation computer programs can give us an instant explanation of new words when we read some foreign articles, which can help us save a lot of time, only when ,however, our foundation in a foreign language has not been neglected. A fact can not be neglected is that computer programs are designed and written by human beings. People can not design efficient translation programs if there are no people learning foreign languages. Without a wide understanding of a language and translation, how could human beings develop efficient translation systems which are based on it?In conclusion, based on what has been discussed above, from my point of view, it is still necessary not only for children but also for us to go on learning foreign languages. For the existing computer technology, computers can not replace the process of languages study. 开篇方法：How many sentences are there in the introductory paragraph? 开头段几句话，每句的作用是什么？How many sentences are there in the concluding paragraph? 结尾段几句话，每句的作用是什么？完成下表原文中的同义替换过渡句连接词名词和名词短语动词和动词短语动宾搭配后置定语复合句对称法摸板In recent years, under the condition that computer translation programs can translate nearly all kinds of languages, about childrens foreign language learning, there has been much talk among the parents with schooling age students as well as among the common public, and different voices have been heard. Some people believe that children do not need to learn foreign languages any more, while many others have a totally different attitude and argue that to go on learning foreign languages is still necessary. Both sides can not agree with each other with respected and respective reasons. Before giving my own point of view, I think, it is necessary to take a glance at the arguments of both sides.Those who believe that learning foreign language is not necessary for children any longer come up with their reasons as following. First of all, as said above, computer translation programs can translate nearly all kinds of languages. Computers have become so powerful that some computer programs can even translate all the vocabulary, sentences and even whole articles. They also point out the fact that multi-language translation system function in the conferences of the UN. What is even worse is that the experience of most peoples learning a foreign language ends up not only a failure but also inferiority complex. As most people have suffered, to learn a foreign language well calls for lots of efforts, while after years learning with great devotion, we cannot understand what foreigners say and we can not express ourselves properly. Children suffer a lot while get little from learning foreign languages.However, many others also utter their strong voice. To start with, childrenneed to learn foreign languages well because a language is the most important means of communication. In order to have a good understanding of the world, not only children, as the future of the world, but also we have to learn foreign languages well.What is more, language study can give us much more than the language itself. To learn a foreign language is also to learn a way of thinking. Admittedly, in some cases, computers bring some help in languages to us. Some translation computer programs can give us an immediate explanation of some difficult words when we read some foreign articles. It can help us save a lot of time, only if, however, our foundation in a foreign language has not been neglected. A fact can not be neglected is that computer programs are designed and written by human beings. Without a wide understanding of a language and translation, how could human beings develop a translation system which is based on it?In conclusion, it is quite understandable that people from different backgrounds have different attitude towards foreign language learning because of their different experiences, perspectives as well as emotional concerns. However, after taking all factors into account, it is not hard for us to come to the conclusion that not only children but also we need to go on learning foreign languages under the situation of economy globalization. For the existing computer technology, computers can not replace the process of languages study. It is also admitted that learning a foreign language well is not a small case. However, it is not a question of whether-or- not but one of how-to.TopicYou should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Which do you like: a small family or a large family?You should write at least 250 words.You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. In ancient times the Chinese farmed for living, and always lived on the land inherited from their ancestors and seldom moved out without any important reasons, so they formed large families. However, with the change of social structure and the increasing strength of individual independence, the number of small families is growing larger.A large family usually includes three generations or more. Its benefit is that people can help each other in time of need. Unable to earn a living by themselves, the grandparents in this family can be supported by there sons or daughters. The third generation may be cared for by the grandparents. Thus, the second generation can be devoted to work without making troubles at home. However, many people living together is sure to produce some conflicts. Everybodys business is nobodys business, so lazy bones could be invented. What is even worse, there is almost no privacy.The good and bad sides of a small family are just the opposite of a large family. A member of a small family can freely express his or her feeling to his wife or her husband and children. The people of a small family do not have to do what they do not like under the mask of happiness. Of course, the young people are busier than those of a large family in taking care of children. If asked whether I like a large family or a small family, I would answer that I like the latter. However, I must emphasize one thing that It is important to keep frequent touch with your relatives if you live in a small family, and especially to support your parents when they are too old. The percentage of male and female smokers in Britain during the period between 1950 and 1990 is shown in the chart (which is) given above. From the above-given chart, we can clearly see that the number of smoking males kept decreasing (by almost half) from 1950 to 1990. The number of males who were smoking declined slowly but steadily from 79% in 1950s to 73% in 1980s at the rate of about 2% per decade. Since then, the number of smoking males fell drastically by 31 points to only 42% in 1990s. While the number of smoking males declined constantly, that of the females underwent quite different changes. The proportion of female smokers had risen before it began to drop in 1980. The percentage of female smokers in 1950s and in 1960s was 17 and 18 respectively, but it doubled to 38% and in 1970s and continued increasing slightly into 1980s, which was 42%. Just like the case of the males, a dramatic fall(decline/decrease) was seen(witnessed) between 1980s and 1990s, as the percentage fell by about 13 points to 29%.In conclusion, males continue outnumbering females when it comes to smoking, but the gap is narrowing and the percentage of smokers in the general population is diminishing. Even just after having a child, a great number of females return to work. The working patterns of the mothers with 0 to 10-year-old and over children are illustrated(indicated/shown/outlined/described) in the group of pie charts which are given above.From the above-given charts, we can clearly see that the percentage of mothers who choose to work full-time keeps rising as the child grows older than four years. Before the child turns five, the percentage of full-timers remains the same, which is 11%. When the child is around five to nine years old, it increases slightly to 14%. A sharp rise can be seen in the number of the full-time working mothers after the child grows to ten, which doubles to 29%. However, the percentage of the part-time working mothers shows a different situation. The rate keeps a rising trend before the child is ten, which sharply increases from 19% to 48%. After the child is ten years old, the percentage of working mothers who take part-time occupations drops slightly to 45% To sum up, as the child grows older, the percentage of the mothers who choose to or need to continue working rises, while the mothers with part-time job outnumber those with full-time occupations. It appears that women have much fewer maternal responsibilities after her child is ten.The unemployment rates in three major countries (the UK, Canada and Japan) from 1983 to 1992 are shown in the line graph which is given above.According to the above-given chart, we can see that the percentage of unemployed people was 12 in Canada and 13 in the U. K. in 1983, and both rates decreased dramatically at a fairly constant speed in the following several years. The unemployment of Canada reached the bottom with about 7.7% in 1988-1989, and that of the U. K. also reached the bottom with 7% in 1989-1990. After reaching the bottom, the unemployment rate of the two countries started to climb. Canadas returned to the original value, while that of the U. K recovered to 10%, which was three points lower than the original percentage in 1983.Compared with the unemployment rate of the other two countries in the given chart, that of Japan was rather low, which fluctuated between 2% and 3%. There was a slight increase in unemployment from about 2.3% in 1983 to 3% in 1986. After that, the percentage started to decrease with minor fluctuations and returned to its original value by 1992.To sum up, while the unemployment rate in Japan remained low and constant, that of the two other countries underwent drastic changes.The change of the types of communication used in 1962 and 1982 is shown in the two pie charts which are given above. From the above-given pie chats, we can clearly see that the percentage of letter-users dropped sharply among the three media which are surveyed. In 1962, letter-writing was the most popular form of communication, which took up 50% of the total communication. However, its use decreased dramatically since then, and this figure dropped to only 10% by 1982, which was the smallest of that years figures. However, during the same period, the use of the phone and the computer both increased significantly. In 1962, the use of the telephone just occupied 35% and the computer was the least used of the three (15%). In 1982, the telephone, with a percentage of 60%, became the most used form of communication. Similarly, the use of computers doubled to 30%.To sum up, some important changes happened in the forms of communication used during the two decades, and more and more people began to appreciate the convenience brought about by the telephone and the computer. The models of transport used by city dwellers in a European city from 1950 to 1990 are shown in the bar chart which is given above,In the above-given chart, it can be seen that the percentage of traveling by bike and on foot both declined sharply from 1950 to 1990. The percentage of commuters on foot dropped from 33% in 1950 to 8% in 1990, and that of travelers by bike decreased from 27% to 7% during the same period.However, there was a large increase in the use of automobiles. In 1950, very few people drove cars to work. By 1970, approximately one out every four travelers began to drive to work. This increase continued, and by 1990, one out of three travelers chose to drive to and back from work.The percentage people of taking the bus increased from 1950 to 1970(from 9% to 28%), but by 1990 it dropped to even a little bit less than that in 1950. In conclusion, cars began to enjoy great popularity among commuters, and all other means of transport were less frequently used. The graph above compares the proportions of men and women in executive positions in the ACME Oil Company for 12 months to June 1994.From the graph, we can see that as the executive position increased to a higher officer Grade, the percentage of women decreased. Approximately 72% of workers in the lowest executive positions of officer Grade E were women. This is the highest percentage of women in any executive job category in the ACME Oil Company. In the highest executive position of officer Grade A, the proportion of women dropped to only 8% more or less.In contrast, as the executive position increased to a higher officer Grade, the percentage of men increased. The lowest proportion of men was found in category E, and only 8% grade E officers were male. When in the highest job category office A, men accounted for 92%.The least difference between the percentage of men and women exists in the
