写作真题(2017/4/23)Some young people are free in the evenings or have days off at school, which way can bring them the most benefit?1. to accumulate work experience by a part-time job or volunteering in a community2. learning to play a sport3. learning to play a musical instrument写作范文It seems that everyone in the world aspires to achieve something so as to live life to the full, especially the young who have a glorious future before themselves. Although a vast majority of people agree with this notion, opinions on how to achieve ones ambitious dreams or realistic goals are diverse. As a broadly-disseminated idea goes that the other 8 hours of free time determine ones success, an increasing number of young people are pondering a problem of how to maximize their free timethe 8 hours in the day when they are not studying, working or sleeping. As far as I am concerned, from the three above-mentioned ways to utilize the free time, I would unhesitatingly choose the second onelearning to play a sport.Despite the fact that the 8 hours after work or study can be a valuable resource one has to achieve ones ideal life, lets be honest first, the time when one is working or studying is the most valuable. It is imperative for either students or workers to make the full use of this unfree time for any academic pursuit or career advancement, in which case an investment of large amounts of energy and attention is required. Then, physical and mental fatigue would unavoidably ensue. Therefore, the way I see it, when these young people are free in the evenings or have days off at school, relieving their tiredness should be given top priority. Learning to play a sport and engaging in related sports activities, even just for a few minutes, will help to relax their muscles and relieve the tension in the face, neck, shoulders and other body parts. Alvin Oldman, a lead researcher of New Channel Health Center, emphasized that people who exercise regularly feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives.It is tempting to argue that play sports will help to relax, so will learning to play a musical instrument and engaging in related musical activities. Nevertheless, further analysis would reveal that playing a musical instrument is not so easy as expected. A simple piece of music may require seven consecutive days of practice, for which seldom would persist. Meanwhile, just hearing a couple of musical notes by touching the strings of guitar or hitting the keys of piano is neither likely to relieve one mentally since no melodious music is produced nor likely to relieve one physically in the same way sports does.As for the first choice, lets be honest once again, little working experience could be accumulated through a part-time job or volunteering in the a community simply due to the fact that little amount of time is devoted to this kind of work. This so called first hand experience lasts for such a short time that participants barely knows what the rules and regulations of a certain company are or how the business operations are conducted. Moreover, do not interpret part-time job or volunteering work literally, more often than not they can be rather demanding, and of course, time-consuming, for which seldom would persist.In conclusion, learning to play a sport is young peoples best choice in their free time.写作真题(2017/4/15)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:Its better to make friends with intelligent people than with people who have a good sense of humor?写作范文Friends are those who have confidence in you and offer assistance to you unconditionally; they are always there no matter what happens. On a practical level, friends benefit us in many ways due to the valuable characteristics that they are in possession of. Then which characteristic of a friend is more attractive, being intelligent or humorous? From my perspective, I attach greater importance to intelligence of friends than the sense of humor.Making friends with intelligent people affords us the opportunity to achieve self-improvement. There is no denying that ingenious people must possess certain significant characteristics making them stand out among the peers. By making friends with them, we are more likely to be positively influenced by them and obtain the important quality and effective methods in deal with problems we confront in our life, thus increasing the possibility of fulfilling our goals.For example, playing with those who are able to manage their time efficiently helps us foster the ability to plan and organize. Also, talking with a person who enjoys favorable social relationship contributes to the cultivation of our excellent communicating skills. Whats more, learning about a friend who succeeds in realizing his dream through hard work motivates us to set a practical goal and work toward it continuously. Therefore we tend to acquire a myriad of wholesome characteristics by building friendship with intelligent people.On a more practical level, we have a better chance to come up with creative solutions to the problems we are faced with in our life with the help of ingenious friends. It is not uncommon that we have to meet a multitude of problems or get in trouble that we may find difficult to resolve. However, intelligent friends, being analytical and insightful, never fail to offer advice and guidance that are of great help in overcoming these difficulties. Chances are that friends with intelligence help us analyze the situation in an efficient way,correct the mistakes we have made in seeking for solutions and predict the results that our decisions may yield to ensure our successful going through hard times. Thanks to the wisdom and level-headedness of intelligent friends we have, there is no need for us to worry about the difficulties we may be confronted with either in our study or work.Admittedly, friends with a good sense of humor could bring us jokes and joy and make our life full of happiness. We may have fun when staying along with humorous friends. Nevertheless, at times of sorrow, it is ingenious friends who surprisingly manage to drive off our loneliness and sadness due to the fact that they are able to comfort us in a comparatively rational way rather than just make us laugh and forget about the adversity.Hence, it is more desirable to have intelligent friends than friends with a good sense of humor. Not only can ingenious friends provide assistance that con
