Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?Sample Answer:An increasing number of students choose to

5、 spend one year travelling or working before going to university after they graduate from high schools. Although students can benefit a lot from the experiences in a gap year, its drawbacks cannot be ignored.On prominent advantage of experiencing a gap year is that it helps students to accumulate wo

6、rking experience and have a clear perspective of career development. High schools emphasise academic development, which often makes students perplexed whenthey decide to choose a major in university. If an opportunity can be provided for them to participate in social activities, they will probably b

7、e more certain about their choice of major and work. In addition, working or traveling contributes to broadening students horizons and enriching their life. They need to live independently and communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds, which is of great value to both their life and

8、 work in the future.Despite these advantages, this view still cannot be supported by some parents and teachers. It is worried that students will devote too much to work and travel, and will probably give up their academic development. University is a place where students can acquire knowledge and sk

9、ills. If they give up a bachelor degree, not only will the academic development be delayed, but also their career development will be negatively influenced. This is because with only a high-school degree, students are less likely to stand out in the employment market. Some graduates with low degrees

10、 have to undertake some jobs demanding long time and offering low income.To sum up, taking a gap year before starting university life provides students good opportunities to know more about themselves and the real world. However, if they are indulged in travel or work and abandon their academic task

To what extent do you agree or disagree?主体段第一段：绿色植物光合作用不但能吸收二氧化碳而且能释放氧气。其次更多的绿色植物能减少人们患呼吸类的疾病主体段第二段：房屋的功能是保证人们的居住。但是一些房地产开发商为了利益过度开发土地。这样只会浪费有限而又珍贵的土地资源。其

12、次我们的房地产产业和市场已经趋于饱和了。年轻人也无力购买如此高价的房子。结尾段：重述自己立场。word count：250With the rapid urbanization of our society, tree seems more valuable than ever before. At the same time, a great number of people support more greenery in open areas in towns and cities rather than more housing buildings. I am of

13、 the opinion that this action has more benefits than drawbacks.Trees are an important part of the urban environment and a city with easy access to green spaces is more livable and attractive for most people. First of all, as we all know, green plants can carry out photosynth

14、esis, which not only absorb carbon dioxide, but also release oxygen. Therefore, the air quality in cities will be improved greatly. Secondly, people living in cities with plenty of trees are less likely to suffer health problems caused by smog and fumes. This is extremely importa

15、nt because today travelling by car has become a major means of travel in most cities.Housing guarantees peoples basic need of accommodation. Today, many real estate developersoverdevelop the open areas with the purpose of gaininghuge profit. This will occupy the valuable and limited&#

16、160;land resources. In addition, considering our almost saturated real estate industry and market, there is no more need to build more housing. In fact, many employers cannot afford to purchase a flat because of the high housing price. Therefore，compared to housing building, trees seems mo

17、re significant to our environment.To sum up, I believe that planting more trees in open areas will bring far more gains than losses.Some working parents believe children centers can provide best care for children, while others think of other family members like grandparents can do this job. Discuss

18、both views and give your own opinion.Traditionally, toddlers are raised by their relatives such as grandparents in most countries. However, daycare centres have gained a growing popularity among working parents in recent years. From my point of view, attending a childcare centre has more benefits.On

19、e obvious argument in favor of daycare centres is that it provides children with the professional childhood education. This is because a good daycare centre is normally equipped with well-trained staff who can impart different skills, such as singing, dancing,painting and storytelling, to children t

20、hrough a variety of activities during the day. In addition to the well-organised, structuredprojects, toddlers are provided with more opportunities to socialize with other peers, which helpsthem gain confidenceand self-consicousness. However, these opportunities are rare to achieve if they are watch

21、ed over by grandparents.Opponents feel that a relative care is as effective as children centre. The reason for this is that taking care of a child is never an easy task, as children need constant love and attention. In fact, due to the limited number of caregivers, children are less likely to get th

22、e one-on-one care. By contrast, relatives, grandparents in particular, have sufficient time to take care of their beloved grandchildren, which also contributes to the family bond.I personally believe that no child can become anactive and valuable member of any society without intercommunicating with

23、 other peers. Therefore, although there are conniving arguments for a relative care, it is better to send them into daycare centers in the childhood period.Some people believe famous peoples support toward international aid organizations draws the attention to problems, while others think celebritie

24、s make the problems less important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.这个题目有很多关键词，famous people，international aid organization, MAKE problems less important. 很容易跑题，或者举例不恰当.word count：271With the negative influence of famous peoples bad behavior exposing to our slight more frequently,

25、 plenty of citizens begin to doubt their support towards international aid organizations. However, many people still believethat famous people are helpers rather problem makers. From my point of view, international aid organizations can attract more citizens attention on problems if celebrities give

26、 the right support and set up good images.It is sensible to argue that international charity groups can take advantage of the publicity of celebrities. With the announcement of high-profile figures, such as famous singers, movie stars and sports professionals, the activ

27、ities or campaigns of international organisations can be responded immediately, if they are endorsed by celebrities. In the early time of this year, ALS Ice Bucket Challengespread around the world within a few days by the sharing of many celebrities. Meanwhile, the organisations

28、also received millions of donationby fans as well.Nevertheless, it is an undeniable fact that a small part of celebrities dont gain much popularity or bring any convenience to international aid organizations. Although some celebrities give their support to these organizations outwardl

29、y, they dont bring any tangible help. For example, some celebrities lead a luxurious life and never take practical actions to social problems, or even only take advantage of international aid organizations to advocate for themselves. As a result, the public will looseconfidence to these organiz

30、ations, not to mentionsolving problems.To sum up, I believe international aid organizations will receive much more help from celebrities and figure out more problems if celebrities can make the right choices and theircelebrity effect is used appropriately.Some people say that communication

31、 by computers and phones will have negative effects on young peoples writing and reading skills. Do you agree or disagree?Some educators have warned thatthe prevalenceof mobile phones and the internet has a negative effect on adolescents academic ability. I agree with this view.Firstly, the wide use

32、 of “Internet English” is regarded as the culprit of the declining writing skills.One obvious reason is that young adults may make some grammatical mistakes unconsciously because of the frequent use of improper abbreviations and punctuation on mobile devices, and this might pose a threat t

33、o their future career where a professional writing ability is required in most companies. Therefore, many linguists have expressed their concerns that the instant messaging and chatting on mobile phones might harm the ability of using formal written English.Secondly, the poor reading proficiency can

34、 be put down to the frequent use of technologies as well. Compared to the older generation, young people todayare cluttered with different gadgets, like iPad and iPhone. For instance, with easy access to wifi, they can surf the internetanywhere and anytime to follow the latest informa

35、tion of their idols in another country. However, most social networks deliver fragment and useless information, which not only steals time away from solitary reading but also undermine the ability to think independently.In my opinion, this phenomenon should be reversed as soon as possible

36、because reading has a profound effect on a nations future.In conclusion,while these electronic devices make the communication much more convenient, I am in the camp that they might affect young peoples academic performance negatively.Nowadays, older people who need employment have to compe

37、te with younger people. What problems do this cause? And what are the solutions?It is true that  there will undoubtedly be some negative consequencesof this trend, we can take steps to mitigate these potential problems.Some related problems can be anticipated. The main

38、issue is that more young employees are likely tosuffer unemployment. This is because young employees are relatively restricted in terms of work experience and communication skills, compared with those experienced workers. Therefore, employers prefer to recruit older peo

39、ple with higher working efficiency rather thanthose who just graduate from the university. In addition, without a decent job and salary, it is extremely difficult for young people to make a living and raise their families, and this poses a threat to social stability sincesome of them might commit a

40、crime to make a fast buck.Personally, I feel that governments and academic institutions should work hand in hand to tackle this issue. Most elders of retirement age, especially those living in industrialized countries receive a pension monthly, so there is no need for them toseek a job. In

41、 other words, the government should allocate more money to pension system, which can basically guarantee the basic needs of most elders. Besides that, education system should update the curriculum used currently and design more career-oriented coursesfor job hunters. By doing this, yo

42、ung people can become more competitive in the job market.In conclusion, I am in the camp that more steps can be taken to improve the wellbeing of the two generations.Some people think only best students should be rewarded, others think they should reward students who make progress.It is un

43、iversally believedthat providing students with many rewards is an effective way to improve academic performance. Although some would argue that only those top students are eligible to receive these rewards, I am in the camp thatanyone who makes progress should be rewarded as well.   F

44、irstly, advocates believe that it is reasonable to offer prizes to thehigh-level performers.This is because one needs to pay a great amount of effort than other classmates in order to earn a high grade in the exam. In addition, top performers normally act as afacilitatorto encourage otherstuden

45、ts to work harder and they can create a competitive learning setting in the school.However, rewarding top players merely is likely to result in some undesirable results in some occasions. The reason is that those best students are relatively few  extrinsic reward provided to them

46、 is not only a recognition of their former performance, but also a motivator for further study since a sense of accomplishment can boost their confidence and help them become the high-level students eventually.In conclusion,my view is that both types of students should be rewarded, which is benefici

47、al for the learning environment in the campus.Young people who commit crimes should be treated in the same way as adults by authorities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?It is sometimes argued that young lawbreakers should be tried as adults for crimes. I personally believe that this is partl

48、y reasonable.On the one hand, those who participate in violent crimes should not be treated differently than adult offenders. This is because most crimes, such as rape or murder, are thoughtful, deliberate and cunning in its planning and execution. If our courts trend t

49、oward a more lenientposition, then the related laws and punishment will not have a deterring effect on teenagers. As a result, teenagers are likely to commit horrible crimes since they are aware that they have legal protection. Whats worse, these teens might recomm

50、it after they are released from jails. In some cases, the lighter sentencing might also lead to resentment towards the judicial system as victims might argue that these young offenders do not confess what they have done. This could also result in insecurity in our society eventually.O

51、n the other hand, the circumstances of a crime and its motivation should be taken into consideration when it comes to juvenile delinquency. For example, because of distress and hunger, some teens may turn to stealing food or robbery during a period of famine. Under this circumsta

52、nce, harsh punishment, such as long-term jail might not be the best solution. In my view, most of the young offenders lack parenting and self-discipline, which would mean that other alternatives, such as community service and rehabilitation might be better alternatives for them.In conclusion, I

53、 feel that it is vitally important for judges and state legislators to ensure the justice equality regardless of the criminals age.In some countries, more and more adults are continuing to live with their parents even after they have completed education and found jobs. Do the advantages outweigh the

54、 disadvantages?Sample Answer:Nowadays, an increasing number of adults choose to live with their parents after finishing their academic tasks and finding jobs. The overall effect of this phenomenon is negative, although the younger generation can get much help from their parents.It is widely acknowle

55、dged that living with parents contributes to relieve young adults strains and stresses. They bear great pressure from their work and study, and are not willing to adapt to an independent life. The parents, especially the retired adults, are always ready to prepare everything for their children, help

56、ing them to concentrate on their work. In addition, young people can learn much experience from their parents who are more experienced in dealing with interpersonal relationships and career development. As a new comer in the working arena, the young generation are too naïve to manage their vari

57、ous challenges. Undoubtedly, it is of great value for them to live with their parents.On the other hand, continuing to live with parents will unavoidably cause some conflicts. Growing up in two different times, the views and lifestyles between these two generations are less likely to be the same. Wi

58、th the passage of time, the family bond will be alienated. Whats worse, if the adults lead a life with parents for a long time, they are particularly likely to have a sentimental attachment to their parents excessively. It will be increasingly difficult for them to start a new life when their parent

59、s cannot provide help any longer. It is detrimental for forming a new family in the future.When considering the effects of living with parents on young generation, we can conclude that this lifestyle is not universally suitable for every individual. As to most young people, they had better to live i

60、ndependently in order to keep a harmonious relation with parents and a balance between work and life.Developments of technology are causing environmental problems. Some people think the solution is that everyone accepts a simpler life, while others believe that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion.There is no doubt that modern technology has caused a variety of environmental issues, both in cities and towns. Ironically, I feel that technology can address some of thes
