英语专业八级满分作文范文推荐 Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life Just as Joseph Epstein a famous American writer put it And as we decide and choose so are our lives formed Indeed once we make up our minds to choose to do something then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated This notion of life as far as I observe is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life First things first ambition renders us a sense of mission No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice Your choice procures you a sense of orientation or more specially a sense of mission And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition I came I saw I conquered And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome John Milton stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some mighty lines which England would unwillingly forget had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature In the second place ambition can bring one s potentials to the full Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one s dormant potentials Without ambition one s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi a Chinese Helen Keller It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun though at worst they may probably land on the moon Influential as it is upon us however ambition must be channeled in the right direction If wrongly directed one s ambition may bring havoc on him and others Hitler whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means finally turned him into a demon It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland However his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan Consequently unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom To sum up ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves A poet says life can be bad life can be good life can be dirty life can be sad life can even be painful In my mind s eye a person can make his life beautiful meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well orientated ambition 2013 英语专八范文 中国大学收费制度 On University Tuition System in China Tuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it was put into effect Different people have different opinions on it Some people think that there is no university in the world which is open to students without tuition As far as China is concerned it is a developing country with the largest population in the world The government is unable to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many different kinds of expenses One of the ways to relieve the problem is for students to pay tuition The money raised in this way can be used to improve the conditions for running schools Others however are opposed to the tuition system They argue that the living standard of the Chinese people especially of those in the poor rural areas is still low compared with that in the Western World The university tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents who live on their salaries or wages Moreover tuition may become an obstacle to the development of China s higher education This is because it hinders some talented people from entering the university just on account of their poverty The Rise of Intellectual Property Protection Intellectual property scarcely existed in the vocabularies of academic researchers and administrators even 15 years ago Now it is an ever present part of discussions on research policies and directions This new importance of intellectual property in academia reflects a changing view on their relationships of research at universities to the surrounding society Until recently research at universities has been relatively isolated from demands of economic utility and education of graduate students has emphasized a career in academic research as the final goal Now almost all research universities in the United States have technology licensing operations The number of U S patents granted to American universities in a year rose from about 300 in 1980 to almost 2000 in 1995 The direct economic impact of technology licensing on the universities themselves has been relatively small In contrast the impact of university technology transfer on the local and national economies has been substantial and leads to the conclusion that the Licensing Act is one of the most successful pieces of economic development in recent history It has been estimated that more than jobs have been created in the United States in product development and manufacturing of products from university licenses with the number increasing fairly rapidly as the licenses mature Intellectual property terms have become vitally important The company wants to be assured that it can use the results of the research and that these results will not be available to their competitors But most universities insist that transfer of research results is pivotal to their identity and mission and will not agree to keep the project results secret The key to resolving this dilemma is to grant patents the university will publish the results but will first agree to file patents that will protect the company s privilege in the commercial market place 2013 英语专八范文 是什么让我们作弊 What Has Turned Us Into Cheaters The writing topic for this year s CET 6 was revealed again before the day of testing A student has been expelled due to misbehavior in a final examination This kind of titles has been very popular these days and all these have revealed a public secret cheating on exams This behavior which was denounced by almost all is spreading at a high rate and this has puzzles not only teachers but also the whole society Then why do students cheat on exams In my understanding there are mainly three reasons namely unscientific testing completion for scholarship and pressure from future job hunting Some students cheat on exams to protest against the improper testing format The purpose of university education should be teaching students to use knowledge to solve problems therefore exams and tests should test students ability to use certain knowledge to solve some problems But most tests in China just test understanding instead of application and some exams are even worse because they only test students memory Some students think it unnecessary to spend time and effort to prepare for such exams so the just cheat in order to get a decent score which in their mind means nothing Dr Wang who specializes in education assessment supported this view in one paper and he said that teachers should blame themselves because they forced students to cheat More students cheat on exams in order to struggle for scholarship As universities are collecting tuition from students they also increase the amount of scholarship This money of course is very attractive to students who have virtually no income As scholarship is mostly decided by examination scores students willing to get the money will try every means possible In a recent survey some good students admitted that they cheat on exams because if most students are cheating it is unfair when you choose not to This probably represents a breach of traditional ethics and is a more important reason than conscientious protest against improper tests The most important reason in my mind should be the pressure from job hunting In the past few years the situation in the job market is deteriorating and this forces students to prepare as early as possible Due to its importance students naturally want to make their reports more attractive and one way to realize it is cheating As a student said in a news report students are aware of the cost of being caught but the profit of not being caught is too much so many of them just go ahead Maybe it is not unreasonable to say that it is the society that makes students cheaters To sum up the desires to get a good job and a high scholarship or simply to signal a protest in current education have forced us students to copy in exams It is undeniable that some suffer from weak moral principles but it is wrong to blame them only Only when the society and the university find the real source of the problem and deal with it can we restore the traditional criticism against cheating 2013 英语专八范文 旅行能促进国家间的交流 Travel Helps Promote Communication between Countries With the steady growth in the world s economy as well as the people s living standard nowadays more and more people are able to afford to go to travel abroad Thus people of different races and colors have more chances to meet each other and understand each other Such activities among people help promote the understanding and communication between countries which helps to make this world a better and more harmonious place Different countries are striving to develop their national tourism because tourism really has a lot of advantages Firstly beautiful scenery attractive tourist spots and splendid culture allure tourists with different parts of the world which provides many opportunities to promote exchanges among people from different backgrounds For example since the reform and opening up China a country which has rich tourist resources receives millions of foreign tourists every year The frequent contacts between foreign tourists and Chinese people promote the exchanges of culture and science creating international friendship and promoting deeper understanding and strengthening ties Meanwhile this has accelerated the development of these countries Secondly travel enriches one s knowledge widens one s vision and enhances mutual understanding In the past Chinese people knew little of the outside world Since the reform and opening up with people s living standard greatly improved more and more people have the chances to go abroad for sightseeing Through traveling we Chinese have expanded our scope of knowledge and we have come to know the world better and have been learning how to develop our own country better Thirdly tourism boosts 推进 local economy and promotes commercial exchanges Singapore is such a good example It is a small country with scarce natural resources But owing to the prosperous tourism the country s economy develops very well and it is named one of the four economic tigers in northeastern Asia But some people say that tourism cannot work so well as people expect They argue that the purpose of the tourists is just to enjoy sightseeing and in fact tourism has its disadvantages Firstly tourism does great harm to the tranquility 宁静 and sanitation 卫生 卫生设施 of the local place and sometimes it even causes pollution to the natural environment Secondly many tourists cannot even speak a word of the language of the country they are visiting There is little possibility that they will have a deep understanding of the country in such a short period of time Thirdly during the trip poor service and language barrier 语言障碍 may even give rise to unwanted 不必要的 misunderstanding Also the tourists wealth may make the local people more aware of their own poverty and lead to jealousy and psychological imbalance As the proverb goes No garden is without weeds In my opinion compared with the advantages disadvantages of tourism have become trivial things It is important for a country to develop its tourism to upgrade its international position and at the same time promote global understanding to remove prejudice and bias We should make good use of our rich tourist resources to make our motherland more beautiful and attract more foreign friends 2013 英语专八范文 面试仅能看到外在而非内涵 Interview A chance to view the outer part but not the core As a senior student in university I have gone through many interviews interview to recruit new club members interview for internship 实习医师 实习医师期 and so on In my opinion the procedure of recruitment is like choosing apples viewing resumes is liking picking up apples you can only decide the appearances or in other words whether there are obvious flaws Interview is like the first bite by which you know the real taste of an apple But only by eating all the apple can you see the core That is to say only by working with a person for some time can you judge a person So to me interview can help us to get a basic knowledge about a person and is indispensable in recruitment but it has its limitations Interview is most helpful in the aspect that it provides interviewer a chance to observe something that resumes can no
