　　It is generally believe that nowadays, Internet is become common stools in people’s lives. First, it give people a way to understand the outside world. But, everything has two sides, computers are sometimes bad. The more frequent we use computers, the less likely we get to know other people. What a terrible scene if we have a computer, but not friends!

　　Why this happened? At the first place, when we use computers, we read from them, learn from them and print them. Therefore we may think: “ Because computers do us a lot, why bother other people.” Last but not the least, when people play on the internet and talk on the internet, they feel lonely because they have no friends in the real life. In addition, internet delivers mails fastly without any hesitation, so people prefer using then again and again. And they are not willing to visit their friends. What is more, when we use computers for a long time, we are tired and want to go to bed to sleep. I am a hardworking student who is specialized with computer application. Once upon a time, I spend ten hours on computers. As last, I tired, and suddenly I lost my mind and dropped down from downstairs. But for help from my roommates, I would not live in physics and spirit. You see, computers almost kill me. I owe greatly to my friends and wish that I could live as long as them.

　　What should we do in this situation? We must control computer. For one thing, we must know that it is not good to spend too much time on computers. Of course, most computers do us good, but some others do us harm, such as helping to cheat on line. As we know, we must use computers to serve our needs rather than falling to a slave to them. Only in this way can we have a better life.(317 words)

　　Many technological innovations have been “double-edged swords” with positive and negative effects on society at large. The automobile is one of such innovations. What do you think is the overall impact of automobiles on society? Write an expository essay (about 300 words) expressing your views on it.

　　寫法(1)利弊對(duì)比,但是拒絕選擇立場(chǎng)

　　The issue that the automobile production is a double-edged sword is rather complex, since it involves a conflict between industrial expansion and the strategy of sustainable development. However, the final judgment should depend on a case-by-case analysis of several key factors.

　　Since the 1960s, the world has witnessed some dramatic changes in the automobile technology. As a result, a growing number of transport vehicles have been manufactured, thus providing citizens with growing convenience and efficiency. Additionally, some economists believe that automobile production contributes to the national economy by paying more tax and providing more job vacancies. For example, In the United States or Japan, automobile industry remains the backbone of their marketing economy, the primary source of national wealth and the major provider of jobs. However, in some other instances, the above-mentioned situation is not always adequate. For instance, suppose a car that is poorly designed and gives off such poisonous gas as monoxide, methane or acetylene. Surely enough, the more cars a company manufactured, the more likely automobile production should be responsible for the environmental degradation of urban regions and the worsening health of the citizens. Another exception to this approach is the case of traffic congestion. Admittedly, when vehicles of various kinds rush to the same avenue, traffic jams invariably occur, which always gives rise to delays or accidents. These are exceptional cases, yet they do exist.

　　Given the analysis above, it is justified to conclude that a proper use of automobiles has to be emphasized. For one thing, governmental departments are obliged to take concrete measures to boost automobile production while keeping track of the emission of pollutants. For another thing, citizens should be aware of the corresponding side effects while enjoying the leisure of their car ride. Only in this way can they benefit greatly from the rapid growth of automobile manufacture. (305 words)

　　寫法(2)先利后弊,倒向一邊

　　Recently there has been some heated discussion on the positive and negative effects the automobile has brought to a society. Some economists believe that the automobile companies contribute to the world economy by paying more taxes and securing more employments, while other people argue that vehicles of various kinds are the primary source of air pollution and traffic jam, therefore it is not proper to exaggerate the benefit of automobile production. By comparison, the latter point of view tends to be rather convincing.

　　Admittedly, The idea held by those economists does contain an element of truth. For example, a nice car always offers more convenience while a man are on a business trip or go for an excursion on holiday. Nevertheless, they tend to neglect certain negative effects that may arise. First of all, automobiles give off a large amount of poisonous gas and pollute our environment. Second, as more cars are produced, they will probably rush to the same street at the same time. As a result, traffic jams often occur every day, especially during the rush hours. Third and last, although more cars have been produced, the drivers lack adequate training. Consequently, unskilled drivers are often primarily responsible for more car accidents, which in some cases, cost people precious lives. Some economists may also point out that automobile production is the primary source of national wealth. Even so, the situation is not absolute, nor is it the most critical element. As a matter of fact, monetary gain is not the sole hallmark of a happy life, and people are not expected to sacrifice their health for material luxury.

　　Given the analysis above, it is justified to conclude that a proper use of automobiles has to be emphasized. For one thing, governmental departments are obliged to take concrete measures to boost automobile production while keeping track of the emission of pollutants. For another thing, citizens should be aware of the corresponding side effects while enjoying the leisure of their car ride. Only in this way can they benefit greatly from the rapid growth of automobile manufacture.

　　Throughout China, there has been a strong emphasis on quality education. However, schoolwork is still a heavy weight on pupils'' back. Write a short argumentative essay(about 300 words)explaining your point of view.

　　Since the 1980s, debates have been fueled on the ideal means of education. Some observers often emphasize that although schoolwork is regarded as a heavy weight on pupils’back, it improves students’ understanding and proficiency in a particular subject. However, through decades of practice and observation, it turns out that their statement has many restrictions.

　　Admittedly, the idea held by those arguers does contain an element of truth. For example, excessive school assignments, the symbols of academic burden, can successfully boost the academic ability of a student in certain subjects, literal arts in particular. But these arguers tend to ignore two other essential aspects. First, they fail to take into account the possibility that a student overwhelmed with a gigantic task of spelling or calculating is often deprived of other potentials such as imagination and creation, which are equally important for the sustainable development of a child. In this sense, the monotonous academic practice is not always synonymous to the inspiration of a balanced and healthy personality. Second, the arguers’ assertion doesn’t provide sufficient data to narrow down the exact correlation between the amount of assignment and the future academic success. Therefore, any further conclusion addressing the problem must be based on thorough investigation. As a matter of fact, the educational approach orientated in the mastery and memory of certain information often crams a learner with irrelevant facts or confusing logic. By comparison, quality education tends to be ideal, for it aims at boosting one’s ability, inspiring one’s imagination and cultivating one’s understanding of the world. Given reasons above, the argument that the increase of academic training is central in the development of one’s quality, under a careful scrutiny, turns out to be groundless in its hasty conclusion.

　　What measures should be taken so that people can benefit from the current educational system? For one thing, the learners, teenagers in particular, are expected to enhance their awareness that examinations are not the sole purpose of their study. For another thing, teachers and educationalists are obliged to initiate creative projects that tailor to the sustainable development of a child. Only in this way can a child enjoy the greatest from their learning, thus paving a way for their prospective career. (361 words)

　　Teachers pay little attention to those school failures, assuming that academic failure means failure in everything. What do you think of this attitude? Write a short argumentative essay(about 300 words) explaining your view.

　　Since the 1980s, there has been heated discussion on the correlation between the academic failure and the sustainable development of a child. Some teachers emphasize that academic failure will deprive a student of any opportunity to further his college education, thus bringing about disastrous changes to his prospective career. However, through numerous practices and observations, it turns out that their statement has many restrictions.

　　Admittedly, the idea held by those arguers does contain an element of truth. For example, the repeated academic failure will definitely leave a man frustrated, hence often casting a shadow on his mood. But these arguers tend to ignore two other essential aspects. First, they fail to take into account the possibility that many people, though presenting a poor academic performance at school, turn out to be outstanding in realms other than their original academic research and study. Consider Charles Darwin who often flunked in his medical study. He later became the founder of the Natural Selection and Evolution. In this sense, the academic frustration is not always synonymous to the bankruptcy of one’s future professional career. Second, the teachers’ assertion doesn’t provide sufficient data to narrow down the exact correlation between the academic competence and the future achievement. Therefore, any further conclusion addressing the problem must be based on thorough investigation. As a matter of fact, when Albert Einstein was young, he couldn’t properly complete certain simple calculation. But he finally established himself as the founder of the Theory of Relativity. Given reasons above, the argument that the academic failure means failure in everything, under a careful scrutiny, turns out to be groundless in its hasty conclusion.

　　In conclusion, these teachers’ evidence lends little credible support to their claim. To persuade people that academic success is central in one’s career, those teachers would need to provide clear evidence, sufficient data and thorough cause and-effect analysis of alternatives. (311 words)

　　The command of one or more foreign languages is now a valuable asset for young people. While some find it easy to learn a foreign language, others feel that it really gives them headaches. Write a 300-word expository essay illustrating different kinds of language learners.

　　The issue whether a good command of one foreign language is rather complex, since it involves a conflict between the divergent motives in language learning and the suitable approaches dealing with the target language. However, the final judgment should depend on a case-by-case analysis of several key factors.

　　To begin with, since the 1980s, China has witnessed some dramatic changes in its relationship with other countries. As a result, more foreign companies have already invested in China. Under such situation, it is not surprising at all that a growing number of people, young ones in particular, are particularly interested in foreign language learning, for their linguistic competence will probably be a passport to an esteemed joint venture or bring to them a vacancy with the handsome salary. Additionally, some observers believe that sufficient financial support from the renowned educational institutions abroad also contribute to the rise of language learners. For example, In China, if a student performs well in such tests as TOEFL or GRE, he is more likely to be admitted by a foreign university. This consideration can also partly account for the increase of language learners. However, in some other instances, the above-mentioned situation is not always adequate. For instance, it is quite possible that a man learns a language out of his interest, or he is planning to work as an interpreter Surely enough, these are exceptional cases, yet they do exist.

　　Given the analysis above, it is justified to conclude that it is a social phenomenon nowadays that more people begin to learn a foreign language. But what measures should be taken so that language learners can benefit from their study? For one thing, they are expected to enhance their awareness that proper approaches are central in the language study. For another thing, they must attach importance to such basics as grammar, pronunciation or spelling. Still, they must bear in mind that it requires painstaking efforts to take a good command of a foreign language. As Samuel Johnson put it, “Words can’t move mountains. It is diligence that accounts.”
