1 高分范文 8 Newspapers and magazines have special interest in the private lives of famous people How can you explain it What effects will it have on the people being exposed In recent years many newspapers and magazines have focused on the activities of famous people such as film stars or pop singers Reporters disguise their identities infiltrate the subjects business and family or even bug and wiretap them to get the news by whatever means are necessary It is not difficult to figure out the reasons for their surprising amount of interest in famous people s life The top priority for any newspapers and magazines is to satisfy readers curiosity Famous people are in the spotlight renowned or notorious and they are the hot topic of the ordinary people Journalists often find it is their duty to report stars activities Moreover what matters to a newspaper or a magazine is the number of readers A large readership means the rise in the circulation of their publications hence a huge profit Since the stories of film stars or pop singers draw far more attention than 2 that of other people it is natural that the press tries every possible means to feature them for the sake of money of course Those exposed figures however can be severely hurt by such press attention Many of them can not lead a normal life Shopping like an ordinary people for example may become a luxury to them Even worse their lives will be in danger The extreme case might be the death of Princess Diana who died in a car accident as she attempted to escape the photographers in a chase through Paris To conclude celebrities just like other people have the right to keep their own privacy the basic right which should be respected protected and guaranteed by the laws in whatever circumstances DIY 亮点词汇

高分范文 9 Some people believe young adults should undertake unpaid work to help people in the community Do you think it will bring more drawbacks to the community and young adults than benefits I definitely agree with the idea that young people should undertake unpaid work to help people in the community because this practice can bring about a twofold bonus 4 Today s world is becoming increasingly materialized which unfortunately results in the emergence of the phenomenon that the worship of money takes precedence over everything else It is evident in many countries including China Not only I think is it detrimental to the future life of young people but is also harmful to the well being of the society as a whole I am sure nobody would like to see this Unpaid work however can make young people have a clear perspective of what money means and what personal value and responsibility imply They may realize that there are many things in this world which are more valuable than money and that helping others can bring more joy than money can Furthermore unpaid or volunteer work can also benefit people in the community It is generally believed that many people are in the disadvantaged position By that I mean there are some people who are either disabled or elderly and are badly in want of helps If we turn a blind eye to their situation and leave them where 5 they are we are far away from being called human beings who are supposed to help and care about each other So giving a hand to those disadvantaged people is our inescapable obligation and doing unpaid work is absolutely the best option All in all I think such an environment should be created where young adults are encouraged to actively and enthusiastically take part in unpaid work because not only is it what our society treasures but is also what distinguished humans from other animals definitely adv 肯定地 take precedence over 超 越 bring about a twofold bonus 带来双重好处 in want of 需要 result in the emergence

高分范文 10 Some people think that government should provide assistance to all kinds of artists while some others think it is a waste of money What is your opinion Nowadays some people hold the view that it is a waste of money to assist artists I think this view is totally lack of validity because it ignores the significance of arts in our life and may give rise to some undesirable outcomes on the preservation of the artistic traditions Artists in my eyes are just like scientists both of whom have contributed substantially to the development of our society Nobody would disagree that scientific achievements have brought about a great deal of convenience to our life Mobile phone is perhaps a good case in point However it does not necessarily mean the same as assuming that we should be ignorant of artists The first reaction people have when talking about Paris would not be those technological stuff but artistic works such as the great paintings writing masterpieces especially the Eiffel Tower which is viewed highly in terms of 7 artistic uniqueness Take the mobile phone again It seems to me that people nowadays pay more attention to its artistic design than its functions It is therefore not justified for those who think that it is a waste of money to support artists From the government s perspective it is an inescapable duty to allocate its budget in a holistic and fair way It is an undeniable fact that in many countries many artists are generally disadvantaged in terms of monetary wealth In other words they have to struggle for daily sustenance which sadly enough results in the disappearance of many kinds of artistic traditions Not only does it mean a loss to a nation but a loss to the world as a whole No one I am sure would like to see this happen Artists should be highly valued and strongly supported especially in this increasingly materialized world Whilst scientists have contributed a lot to the progress of people s material life what artists have brought about is inner peace aesthetic tastes and relaxation which are undoubtedly more valuable and priceless in such a hectic society Satisfaction brought by the technological advances is transitory

diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventive measures What do 9 you think about it The health of the general public has always been prioritized in any government s agenda There has been however a heated debate surrounding whether a large proportion of a country s health budget should be allocated to health education and preventative measures or to treatment I would definitely say yes based on the following arguments Take the cost of treating cancer for example It is extremely high running into hundreds of thousands of dollars The effect however is generally not good as expected Many people suffering from a certain kind of cancer end up passing away leaving unbearable financial burden on their family It is a tragedy but can be avoided Medical researches have proven that many kinds of cancers can be prevented by taking some preventive measures and popularizing health education Another example might be the smoking related problems which causes tens of thousands of people to die every year and many more to contract serious diseases In an attempt to combat these problems governments in some countries have invested 10 substantially to find the cure but what they have achieved is insignificant On the contrary some other countries have attached importance to the education of the hazards of smoking and worked out a range of effective measures to persuade people to stay away from cigarettes The cost of treating diseases resulting from smoking as a consequence has enormously dropped Therefore governments should put a high price on prevention instead of trying to find the cure because it is not only the most cost effective but is also the most effective approach way in dealing with health problems DIY 亮点词汇 preventative adj 预防性的 running to

Leisure is a growing industry now and people are not entertaining and creative as they used to be because of wide use of modern technology What is your opinion The wide application of technology of course has certainly generated a variety of undesirable effects However whether it makes people less creative and entertaining is questionable Perhaps it is a good starting point to figure out the correlation between imagination and creativity I think creativity is based on imagination However imagination can not automatically lead to creativity without some external factors while the most important of which is the development of technology For example Chinese people had had a dream of flying to the sky 12 for thousands of years However it would not have been realized in the absence of space technology Similarly it is the progress of technology such as the rise of internet that provides people with enormous amounts of information which is essential to be creative Those who think they can not entertain themselves as they did in the past might dwell too much on the bygones It is true that some childhood games might have brought about a great deal of pleasure However they forget that nowadays thanks to the rapid advancement of technology we have much more choices than before Without technology for example can it be possible to make so many fascinating films with stunning effects Besides with the invention of the plane we can set our foot on many more places which brings about significantly more pleasure and enjoyment than the people in the past could ever have imagined Thus it is not valid to think that technology makes people less creative and entertaining On the contrary without technology our world would be far duller than it is now 13 DIY 亮点词汇 generate

to work in the future The constant change of the world has led to the alteration in terms of people s jobs and occupational life I think the very reason behind this trend is the development of technology in many aspects of life Firstly we are entering the so called information age which fundamentally changes the very nature of jobs Simply put with the rise of the internet an increasing number of people are undertaking computer related jobs China might be a good case in point where the number of people who are engaged in computer related jobs has almost more than doubled than that ten years ago Secondly the rapid progress of transport technology makes it possible for people to possess a high degree of mobility In other words we are not confined to working in one place as we did in the past Indeed it is not a rarity that we have breakfast in Tokyo but lunch is served in Beijing 15 Thirdly people are paying more and more attention to leisure activities thanks to the shortened working hours thereby spurring the prosperity of the service industry In many countries the tertiary industry has absorbed the lion s share of the labor force Of course along with the above mentioned changes come the drawbacks the most obvious of which is that people are under increasingly high pressure as the result of the fast tempo of occupational life which unfortunately results in many undesirable outcomes I think those who are about to work in the future should bear the following points in mind In the first place since computers play a key role in today s world it is vital to be literate of them More importantly those who are eager to be successful in the future should realize that pressure is an integral part of work life so to be stress resistant is the essential quality they are supposed to possess 16 DIY 亮点词汇 constant adj 经常的 alteration n 改 变 occupational adj 职业的 fundamentally adv 从根本上 simply put 简单地说 be engaged in 从 事 mobility n 机动性 be not confined to 不再局限于 it is

time Discuss both views and give your opinion Nowadays there exist two different views regarding whether the study of international news should be an integral part of the curricula of secondary schools It is necessary to put some thoughts into this issue Thos who think studying international news is a waste of time might argue on the grounds that with the employment competition becoming ever fiercer student s top task is to focus on academic subjects because in their eyes these subjects can bring an undoubted edge in job hunting However I do not think this view holds water The fast pace of globalization results in the emergence of more and more multinational corporations which are interested in recruiting those who are not only academically excellent but more importantly 19 internationally minded It is especially the case in some developing countries like China However reaching the conclusion that international news study is important does not necessarily mean the same as suggesting that it should be one of their major subjects In many countries especially developing ones like China many students are suffering from heavy study work load which unfortunately leads to the phenomenon that an increasing number of students have been riddled with various physical and psychological problems It is therefore not wise to add even one more subject International news study is undoubtedly important because it is not only what the constantly changing society requires but is also what makes secondary students internationally conscious The best choice I think is to make it a selective subject since in doing so students can benefit from it without interfering with other academic subjects 20 DIY 亮点词汇 curricula n 课程 can bring an undoubted edge in 在 方面拥有毋庸置疑的优 势 result in

but it creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures What is your opinion The development of international tourism is booming and gaining momentum Some people however think that it has generated tension rather than mutual understanding between different cultures I think this view holds water because local people may not get the economic gains because the local 21 traditions and ecosystem may be under threats and because conflicts may arise due to the misunderstanding It is a common exercise that many international tourist agencies have set up branches in the tourist destinations and the money tourists pay does not go to the local community As a result the hostility of the local community may emerge In addition since local residents can make more money in a few weeks from tourists than they can in a year it is not strange for them to give up their farm work thereby leading to a serious decli
