英语短文背诵8篇TOPIC 1: My View on Driving Restrictions in Big Cities（我对大城市车辆限行的观点）1. 大城市的交通拥挤问题越来越凸显2. 有人提出通过车辆限行缓解交通压力，原因是3. 我的看法My View on Driving Restrictions in Big CitiesTraffic jams are very commonly-seen（常见的） in big cities，and a big headache for the citizens. In rush hours, endless cars get stuck on the road and the whole city is like a huge parking lot.The driving restrictions，therefore are put forward to alleviate(减轻) the traffic problems in big cities. By implementing driving restrictions，around half of the private cars can be reduced from the road, which will help decrease the possibility of traffic jams.I believe that the driving restrictions can be effective, but it is not the only way out（唯一出路）. If the car ownership is increasing continuously, this policy will have limited effects. So the government should look at other areas to address the traffic problems, including reasonable road design, and encouragement of the public using public transport system.TOPIC 2: The Significance of Waste Sorting（垃圾分类的重要性）1. 垃圾对居住环境的威胁越来越大2. 垃圾分类的重要性3. 提倡垃圾分类应从自我做起 The Significance of Waste SortingPeople are producing waste every day, which is a huge burden in the planets habitat. Some waste is not degradable（可分解的） naturally, which will exist forever, but some waste can be recycled and reused again.Waste sorting can help divide the reusable waste from the rest. And there are two reasons for doing this. Firstly, the earth is limited in its natural resources, and many products are made from finite（有限的） resources, which cannot be generated by nature in a short period of time. Simply dumping this kind of products is wasting resources. Secondly, some part of the waste is of value. To reuse and recycle this kind of waste is to save resources to a large extent（在很大程度上）, which also contributes to environmental protection.Sorting waste is a meaningful deed. If everyone can do it, small things can make a big positive impact on the environment.TOPIC 3: My View on Microblog1.现在微博越来越流行2.信息传播的形式和效果都跟传统媒介不同3.我的看法My View on MicroblogThe microblog is very popular in the virtual world（虚拟世界）. Average citizens, famous economists, as well as movie stars can own a microblog and share their opinion and life with other people.The microblog is attractive for the following reasons. First, the Internet has different forms of dissemination and unique effects in broadcasting message compared with traditional media. It is fast and efficient, and people can get relevant information immediately. Second, message sent by the microblog can reach a large number of people, who can interact with the microblog owners by leaving messages in it. This kind of interaction is appealing especially when the owner is a famous figure.The microblog is very useful and adds lots of color into the virtual world. Regulated properly(管理良好）, the microblog can be a very interesting platform（平台） for people to share opinions and make friends.Topic 4: Rich Second Generation（富二代）1. 现在富裕家庭越来越多，富二代成为社会关注的焦点2. 富二代可以从富裕中受益，也有可能由于娇生惯养而养成许多陋习3. 我对富二代的看法 Rich Second GenerationThe past decades have witnessed an increase in the number of rich families, which gradually draws more public attention（引起社会关注） to the issue of rich second generation.There has been a widespread public debate over this issue. Some people believe that the rich second generation can benefit from being affluent（相当于rich或wealthy）. With the abundant resources and chances provided by their wealthy parent, the rich second generation are usually well educated and trained. They are more likely to make important contributions to our country. On the contrary, others hold that being rich has a negative effect on the rich second generation. It is quite common for a rich kid to fall into some bad habits, including flaunting their wealth（炫富） and feeling too proud.From my point of view（我自己的观点）, the rich second generation do have the potential to be leading figures. However, they should remain modest and make efforts for that.TOPIC 5: First-tier City or Second-tier City?1.大学毕业后，有人选择去一线城市工作，有人却选择二线城市2.分析两种选择的优缺点3.我将来的选择First-tier City or Second-tier City?When considering where to work, graduates are often in a dilemma（陷入进退两难的境地） of choosing between the first-tier city and the second-tier city.It is generally thought that a first-tier city is a wise choice. It goes almost without saying that（毫无疑问） there are more job opportunities in mega-cities, which offer higher salaries as well. In addition, life is more colorful in that（因为） first-tier cities provide more choices of products and services. However, people are shifting their focus to（将焦点转移到） second-tier cities. First, the living costs are much lower, which makes up for the lower salaries. Second, with smaller population and less pollution, second-tier cities offer more comfortable environment.For my part, I think a first-tier city will suit me better, despite of（尽管） its crowdedness and high living costs. The promising career development and colorful life there have a great fascination for me.TOPIC 6: A Letter of Inquiry（一封关于咨询的信）假如你是刘梅，准备去美国留学。现向申请学校写信，咨询相关事宜。信件内容如下：1. 自我介绍2. 咨询相关事宜，如签证、学费、奖学金和语言考试等3. 表示感谢，并希望早日得到答复A Letter of InquiryDear Sir, I am a junior student majoring in Business Administration in South University. I am thinking about pursuing further study（继续深造） in your university. And I am wondering if you can help with some issues regarding my application. Firstly, what kind of language test does your school require for a foreign student? Will TOEFL be good enough? Secondly, I am not sure how much the tuition fees（学费） would be for studying a postgraduate degree on business administration in your school. Is there any way that I can apply for scholarships? Thirdly, what kind of materials should I prepare for a student visa（学生签证）? I appreciate your time and help. I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly. Best regards Liu Mei Topic 7: Does Electronic Equipment Promote Education? （电子设备能提高教学？）1. 很多大学投入大量的财力为教室添置电子设备2. 有人赞同使用电子设备辅助教学，有人认为回到粉笔时代更有助于课堂教学。3. 我的看法Lately a number of colleges are spending large quantity of money on electronic equipment, which is supposed to promote education.This event has aroused a heated discussion. Some people believe that electronic equipment is a good supplement to traditional teaching. It enables teachers to demonstrate things in a more vivid way by showing pictures or videos. To some extent（在一定程度上）, students are more involved in the class. In contrast, others are against electronic equipment, which they think will inevitably（不可避免的） distract（分心） students from study. In their view, teaching with the aid of traditional chalk can make students focus more on study.As far as I am concerned, electronic equipment is quite beneficial to education. However, we should keep in mind that electronic equipment is just a means of teaching, which will never overshadow（使显得较不重要） the significance of qualified teachers.Topic 8: Should Parents Send Their Kids to Study Abroad? （家长应该送他们的孩子去国外读书么？）1. 现在很多家长在孩子还小的时候就送他们到国外读书2. 对此人们的看法不一3. 我认为Should Parents Send Their Kids to Study Abroad?There is a grow
