Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.【范文】Everyone must work to live, but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than they immediately need. What should they do with this extra income? While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire, I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future.By saving money, people give themselves more security. They cannot predict the future; perhaps one day they will be jobless. At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time. In addition, saving money allows people to build up a larger sum. They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things they can but if they spend the money right away. For example, they may be able to buy a house with their savings. Finally, the practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future. In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful and successful lives.Most people would like to enjoy their money immediately. Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants. However, if we learn to save our money, we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and, thus, happier lives. We will also be able to buy the things we truly want but cannot afford right now.存钱的好处每个人都必须工作以求生存，但是有许多人很幸运，能够赚得比他们立即需要的还要多的钱。他们应该如何处理这些额外的收入呢?尽管把钱全花在自己想买的东西上是很诱人的，但我认为最好至少把一部分的额外收入存起来，以备将来之需。通过存钱，人们能获得更多的安全感。未来是无法预测的，或许有一天我们会失业。碰到像这样的情况，存款可以让我们免去许多痛苦，帮助我们渡过难关。此外，存钱可以使人积累较多的钱，可以用于买更有价值的东西，比马上把钱花掉所能买到的东西更有用。例如，我们可以用存款买房子。最后，存钱能帮助我们培养设定目标及为未来作计划的习惯。如此一来，我们一定会过着更有意义并且更成功的生活。大部分的人会想要马上享用手边的钱。没有人想等到以后再买想要的东西。然而，如果我们学会存钱，未来可以获得更多的好处。我们将过着更有安全感而且更快乐的生活。我们也能购买我们真正想要但现在无法负担的东西。【题目】Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.【范文】32. Staying in One PlaceIt is often said that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Perhaps this is why some people frequently move around, looking for better jobs, houses, and so on. No doubt it is possible to make some advances in this way, but I believe that staying in one place and putting down roots in a community also has many advantages. That is why I would prefer to spend my life in one place rather than constantly move around in search of a new home.One advantage of spending a lifetime in the same community is that people can put down roots and enjoy long relationships with their friends and neighbors. As these relationships mature, the neighbors will come to trust and depend on each other more. In such a community, one never needs to worry when in trouble; someone is bound to give a hand. Another advantage is that people who live their lives in the same community care more about the neighborhood and work hard to improve it. This creates a nicer place for everyone to live. Finally, while we should never stop trying to improve ourselves, it is sometimes better to appreciate the advantages we already have than constantly seek more. A person who is always seeking will never be content.In brief, I would prefer to have a permanent home in one community rather than constantly uproot myself and my family in search of something better. I believe that when we care about the place where we live we can always find a way to improve it and ourselves. In the future I will remember to appreciate the grass on my side of the fence.一直住在同一个地方【译文】32.一直住在同一个地方人们常说，邻家芳草绿，隔岸风景好。或许这就是有些人会经常到处搬家，寻找更好的工作或住所等的原因。这样做无疑可能会有所改善，但我认为，待在一个地方、在某个社区落地生根也有很多优点。这就是为什么我宁愿一辈子住在同一个地方，而不愿不断地搬来搬去寻找新家的原因。一辈子住在同一个社区的一个优点是可以落地生根，享有和朋友、邻居之间长久的关系。当这些关系成熟时，邻居之间会更加互相信任、互相依赖。在这样一个社区中，有困难时也不必担心，因为一定有人会愿意伸出援助之手。另一个好处是，永久居住在同一个社区中，我们会更关心住家附近的环境，并努力加以改善，这样便能创造更好的居住环境。最后，虽然我们应该不停地努力自我改进，但有时候，欣赏我们自己已经有的优点胜过不断地追求更多优点。一个一直在追寻的人是永远不会满足的。简言之，我宁愿在一个社区里建立永远的家，而不愿为了寻求更好的地方，带着自己和家人不断地搬家。我相信，当我们关心自己居住的地方时，我们总能找到改善住家和自己的方法。将来我会记得欣赏自己家里的草。【题目】It has recently been announced that a new high school may be built in your community. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details in your answer.【范文】31. A New High School in the CommunityEducation is a top priority for every society, and the better the educational facilities are, the more likely it is that students will succeed. Their success will in turn be of benefit to the society as a whole. Because I support investment in education, I would welcome a new high school in my community. Furthermore, I believe a high school would benefit the community in the following ways. First, the students who live in my community would no longer have to travel very far to attend school. This would save them a great deal of time, which they could then spend studying, relaxing, or helping their families. Second, with a redistribution of students between the school they used to go to and the new high school, both schools would be less crowded. This would enable students to receive more personal attention and a higher quality of education. Third, a high school can offer many advantages to the community as a whole. Residents may use some of its facilities, such as the sports ground, or attend concerts and other events in the auditorium.In conclusion, I believe that a new high school would benefit any community. It would help not only the students and their families, but also other residents of the neighborhood. Therefore, I would wholeheartedly support the building of a new high school in my neighborhood.在社区里兴建新的高中【译文】31.在社区里兴建新的高中对每个社会来说，教育都是最优先考虑的事，而且教育设施越好，学生就越有可能成功，而他们的成功对社会整体而言必然是有利的。因为我支持投资教育，所以我会欢迎在我的社区内兴建新的高中。此外，我认为一所高中会在以下几个方面对社区有利。第一，住在社区里的学生不需要再到很远的地方上学。这将会给他们节省很多时间，而他们可以用这些时间读书、放松，或给家人帮忙。第二，由于他们以前就读的学校和新学校之间的学生会重新分配，这两所学校将不再那么拥挤，这会让学生能够得到更多的个人关注和质量较高的教育。第三，整体而言，兴建一所高中可以提供给社区很多好处。居民可以使用学校的设施，如运动场，或是在礼堂参加音乐会或其他活动。总之，我认为新的高中对任何社区都有利。它不但可以使学生及其家人获益，还可惠及邻近地区的居民。因此，我由衷地支持在我们住家附近兴建新的高中。【题目】Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed (damaged) by human activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.【范文】30. Human Activity and the EarthThere is no doubt that human activity has an effect on the planet. We see the evidence of mankinds endeavors all around us. While some of mans accomplishments, such as the building of transportation systems and the consistent supply of potable water, have made Earth a better place for people to live, they have not come without cost. Overall, it seems that human activity harms the Earth more than it benefits it.For example, the transportation systems that benefit mankind also create pollution and use up valuable energy resources. While we cannot do without transportation these days, we cannot ignore the fact that it has an adverse effect on the planet. Furthermore, those advances that benefit people do not benefit all the life on Earth. Deforestation endangers many animals, and mankinds great thirst for water and other resources leads to the extinction of many plant forms. In addition, accomplishments such as the supply of potable water to a community are only responses to problems that mankind created in the past. It was man that made the water unfit to drink in the first place. Finally, the damage that human activity causes will eventually have a negative effect on people. They will also suffer the effects of pollution and diminishing natural resources.In conclusion, it seems apparent that mans activity benefits primarily himself, not the Earth. Moreover, those benefits are only short-term advantages, and man will also suffer the negative effects of his activity in the future. The Earth does not have an inexhaustible supply of resources, so every effort should be made to conserve resources and limit the impact of human activity on the planet.人类活动与地球【译文】30.人类活动与地球人类活动无疑会对地球造成影响。我们周围随处可见人类活动的迹象。虽然人类某些成就，如运输系统的建立以及饮用水持续的供应等，使得地球成为一个更适合人类居住的地方，但这些成就的取得也付出了代价。总体上，对地球而言，人类的活动似乎弊多于利。例如，运输系统对人类有利，却会制造污染，并用尽珍贵的能源。现在我们虽然不能没有运输工具，却也不能忽视运输工具对地球有不良影响的事实。此外，使人类获益的这些进步不一定能使地球上所有生物都获益。砍伐森林危及许多动物，而人类对水和其他资源的需求极大，因而导致许多植物绝种。再者，像供应社区饮水的这类成就，就只是人类在为过去所制造的问题做出回应而已。是人类自己首先使水变得不适合饮用的。最后，人类活动所导致的损害终究会对人类本身产生负面的影响。污染及日益减少的天然资源所造成的影响也会使人类受害。总之，人类的活动显然主要仅对人类自己有利，但却对地球不利。而且，那些益处是短暂的，将来人类还是会因自己的行为所造成的负面影响而受害。地球上的资源并不是取之不尽、用之不竭的，所以我们应该尽全力保存资源，限制人类活动对地球的冲击。【题目】Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.【范文】29. The Media and Famous PeopleIn almost every form of media, including television, newspapers and magazines, a great deal of attention is paid to the personal lives of celebrities. It seems that the public cannot get enough of this kind of news. However, I believe that the media have a responsibility to present a balanced view of the world, as well as respect the lives of public figures. Therefore, I believe that the media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people.For people who are fascinated with the lives of public figures there are some forms of media devoted exclusively to this topic. They can satisfy their curiosity by buying fan magazines and watching TV shows devoted to entertainment news. The general media should present all types of information because people have different interests. Furthermore, the practice of dwelling on the private lives of celebrities can lead people to pay more attention to these matters than they otherwise would. Perhaps most importantly, the media should respect the privacy of every individual, including public figures. They may have chosen to be in the public eye, but that does not give the public the right to know everything about them. Moreover, many stories about celebrities are untrue; they are only gossip reported to increase sales of magazines and other media. They are unfair to the famous and mislead the public.For all of these reasons, I believe that the media should pay more attention to matters other than the private lives of public figures. In this way, they can appeal to a wider audience and encourage people to develop other interests. In my opinion, the media currently pay too much attention to the private lives of public figures.媒体与名人【译文】29.媒体与名人几乎每一种媒体，包括电视、报纸和杂志，都把许多焦点放在名人的私生活上。一般大众似乎对这种新闻一直很感兴趣。然而，我认为媒体有责任以公正无偏袒的观点报导时事，以及尊重公众人物的生活。因此，我认为媒体的确过度关注名人的私生活。因为有些人对于公众人物的私生活十分着迷，所以有些媒体就专做这个主题。通过购买针对歌迷或影迷所发行的杂志和观看电视节目的娱乐新闻，就能满足这些歌迷或影迷的好奇心。一般媒体应该提供所有类型的资讯，因为人们的兴趣各不相同。此外，老是强调名人的私生活，会使人们比平常更注意这些事情。或许最重要的是，媒体应该尊重个人的隐私，包括公众人物的隐私。他们可能选择公开露面或上传播媒体，但那并不表示大众有权知道他们的一切。此外，许多关于名人的报导并不真实；那些报导只不过是被用来增加杂志销售量以及其他媒体业绩的八卦传闻。那些不实的报导不仅对名人不公平，也会误导大众。基于这些理由，我认为媒体应该多注意公众人物私生活以外的事情。如此一来，媒体就能吸引更广大的受众群，并且鼓励人们培养其他的兴趣。依我之见，目前的媒体的确过度关注公众人物及他们的私生活。【题目】Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.【范文】28. Doing Things We Dont EnjoyEveryone has certain likes and dislikes, and there is no denying that we all prefer to do the things that we like. However, sometimes doing things we dont enjoy can be beneficial for us, and sometimes it is necessary. Therefore, I agree that people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy.One reason is that some of the things that we dont enjoy are good for us. For example, not everyone likes to exercise, but exercise is good for our health and so we should all do it anyway. Likewise, not many people enjoy going to see a dentist or a doctor, but it is good for us to take care of ourselves, so we should all visit dentists and doctors regularly for a checkup. Another reason is that, at times, the things we dislike are necessary. Students must take tests insgroupsto complete their studies, and everyone must work insgroupsto make a living. And finally, doing things we dislike can also open up new possibilities for us. Most people can probably remember hating a certain food when they were children even though they enjoy that same food now. So, when we do things we dislike, we may discover something we do like along the way, or simply find a better way to deal with the things we must do.No one likes to do things he doesnt enjoy, especially when there is no benefit in doing them. But doing things we dont like can be good for us at times, and so I believe that we should sometimes give them a try.Doing Things We Dont Enjoy【译文】28.做我们不喜欢做的事每个人都有某些自己喜欢和不喜欢的事，而且不可否认的是，我们都比较喜欢做自己喜欢做的事。然而，偶尔做些我们不喜欢做的事对我们是有益的，而且有时候是必要的。因此，我赞成人们应该偶尔做些自己不喜欢做的事情。其中一个理由是，有些我们不喜欢的事是对我们有好处的。例如，并非所有的人都喜欢运动，但运动有益健康，所以无论如何我们都应该做运动。同样地，大部分的人都不喜欢看牙医或医生，但是注意自己的身体健康是件好事，所以我们都应该定期看牙医和医生，做健康检查。另外一个理由是，有时候我们不喜欢的事情却是必须要做的。学生必须考试才能完成学业，而每个人都必须工作才能谋生。最后一个理由是，做我们不喜欢的事情能够提供给自己新的可能性。大部分的人可能都记得，自己小时候很讨厌某种食物，虽然现在很爱吃那种食物。所以，当我们在做自己不喜欢的事情时可能会在做的过程中发现自己喜欢的事，或者能找到更好的方法来应付我们必须做的事。没有人喜欢做自己不喜欢的事，特别是从中得不到好处的时候。但是有时候，做我们不喜欢做的事情却对我们有好处。因此，我认为，我们有时候应该试着做不爱做的事。【题目】It has recently been announced that a new movie theater may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.【范文】27. A New Movie TheaterEntertainment is an important part of everyones life. We all need to take time to relax insgroupsto live healthy lives and do our work efficiently. It is easier to relax when an appropriate form of entertainment is convenient and close by. Therefore, I would support a proposal to build a new movie theater in my neighborhood.Entertainment places can bring some disadvantages to a community such as increased traffic and noise, but I believe the advantages of a new movie theater would outweigh these concerns. For one thing, the people in my neighborhood would save time. When they wanted to see a movie they could simply walk to the new theater rather than spend time traveling by bus or car. In addition, it would be safer for children to visit a nearby movie theater rather than one in some other part of the city. And finally, a new theater might attract other businesses, such as restaurants and coffee shops, where the people of my neighborhood could go to relax.In short, a new movie theater in the neighborhood would increase the number of entertainment options for the residents. They could enjoy themselves more easily without spending a lot of time traveling to another part of the city. For these reasons I would support the building of a movie theater in my neighborhood.一家新电影院【译文】27.一家新电影院娱乐是每个人生活中一个重要的组成部分。我们全都需要时间放松才能过健康的生活并有效率地工作。在住家附近有合适而且方便的娱乐设施能使我们更容易放松心情。因此，我赞成在住家附近兴建一家新电影院的提议。娱乐场所会为社区带来一些缺点，比如增加交通流量及噪音，但是我认为新电影院的优点多于缺点。首先，它可以节省附近居民的时间。当他们想看电影时，他们只要走路到电影院，而不需要花时间坐公共汽车或开车去。此外，对小孩子而言，到附近的电影院比到市区其他地方的电影院安全许多。最后，一家新的影院可能会吸引其他商家前来，比如餐厅及咖啡厅，附近居民可以到这些地方轻松一下。简言之，住家附近兴建新的电影院可以增加居民娱乐上的选择。居民可以更容易得到娱乐，而不用花很多时间前往其他地方。基于这些理由，我赞成在我的住家附近兴建电影院。【题目】It has recently been announced that a large shopping center may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.【范文】26. A Shopping Center in the NeighborhoodLarge shopping centers are very convenient because we can find almost everything we need there. They are also good places to spend free time because they usually offer some form of entertainment such as movie theaters. However, large shopping centers can also bring some disadvantages, and for this reason I would oppose the building of one in my neighborhood.One disadvantage of having a large shopping center in the neighborhood would be a great increase in traffic. More cars would not only bring traffic congestion, but also noise and parking problems. Another disadvantage is that a large shopping center requires a lot of space. Insgroupsto build one in my neighborhood, some open space would have to be sacrificed. We might no longer have room for a park or sports ground. And finally, if there were a shopping center in the neighborhood, people might visit it every day. They would no doubt spend too much money and ignore other ways of spending their leisure time.Due to the above disadvantages, I would oppose any plan to build a large shopping center in my neighborhood. Although I enjoy visiting shopping centers on occasion, I dont need to go very often. I would rather spend some time traveling to one than live next door to one. My neighborhood is a peaceful and quiet place and I hope it will stay that way.社区里的购物中心【译文】26.社区里的购物中心大型购物中心非常方便，因为我们在那里几乎可以买到所需要的任何东西。大型购物中心也是可以度过闲暇时间的好地方，因为那里通常会有如电影院等娱乐设施。然而，大型购物中心也有一些缺点。因此，我反对在我们的社区里兴建大型购物中心。社区里有大型购物中心的缺点之一是交通流量会大增。车辆增加不仅会造成塞车，也会制造噪音和停车问题。另一个缺点是，大型购物中心需要很大的空间。若要在社区里兴建，势必要牺牲掉一些空地，那我们就可能不会有公园或运动场的空间了。最后，如果社区里有大型购物中心，人们可能会天天去，这样无疑会花费过多，并且忽视了其他度过闲暇时间的方式。由于以上缺点，我反对任何在我们社区里兴建大型购物中心的计划。虽然我也喜欢偶尔逛逛购物中心，但我不需要常常去。我宁愿多花点交通时间去购物中心，也不愿住在购物中心隔壁。我们家附近是个宁静详和的地方，我希望它永远如此。【题目】A person you know is planning to move to your town or city. What do you think this person would like and dislike about living in your town or city? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.【范文】25. Advantages and Disadvantages of My TownEvery place has its advantages and disadvantages, including my hometown. A newcomer to my town would find not only several things to enjoy, but also a few drawbacks. Among the good points of my town are the friendly people. The residents here are very kind and will make a new neighbor feel welcom
