写法1（分析原因）：

Now there is a serious concern that many Chinese students neglect the study of Chinese. As is shown in the cartoon, a Chinese young man is presenting a bunch of flowers to a foreign lady, who symbolizes a foreign language, but the Chinese lady, who represents his mother tongue, is given the cold shoulder.

There are several factors responsible for this awkward situation. The most important one is the bleak job prospects for Chinese majors. Statistics available suggest that the employment rate of those who major in Chinese ranked the lowest at 67.3% in 2009. Those who did get a job had to settle for a starting salary of about 2,000 yuan a month, half that of finance, computer science or foreign language majors. The blame also rests with the overemphasis placed on foreign languages. With foreign-language study

taking up an increasing percentage of their time, many students find themselves unable to spare the time to study Chinese, even if they are willing to.

Language is the carrier of its culture. The present neglect of Chinese will have serious consequences for the Chinese culture. To reverse the unhealthy trend, we must cry for immediate measures before it is too late. (200 words)

写法2（分析影响）：

China has felt the painful consequences of the present neglect of Chinese. First, the trend has adversely affected the Chinese proficiency of the younger generation. Researchers from Peking University surveyed 1,200 HR managers in 2009 and found that more than 60% rate the basic Chinese skills of young employees as “poor” or “fair”. More disturbingly, it has created a host of other social problems. For instance, lawsuits resulting from misuse of words in contracts increased 17.5% over the past decade, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a Beijing-based think-tank, reported recently. This will inevitably undermine the Chinese government’s efforts to build a harmonious society.

Faced with the dire consequences of the unhealthy trend, the authorities must make constructive efforts to boost the popularity of Chinese among young people. Among other things, colleges can grant more class periods and credits to Chinese. (195 words)

Nowadays dating shows are gaining increasing popularity on TV screen across the country. As the photo shows, a glamorous line-up of 24 young ladies in Jiangsu TV’s If You Are the One are presented with a suitor, who is subjected to abrasive questions.

Despite their high ratings, TV dating shows have raised much concern over their negative impact on the society. First, the programs promote materialism among Chinese youth. The latest example involves Ma Nuo, a 22-year-old model from Beijing who appeared on China's hottest dating show If You Are the One. She bluntly rejected an offer from a suitor to go for a bicycle ride, saying that she would rather weep in a BMW car than laugh on a bicycle. Second, the dating shows have an adverse influence on the moral values of th e young generation. Consider Yan Fengjiao, a guest on Jiangsu TV’s dating program, who recently became the talk of the town for posting her nude photos on the Internet.

Though TV match-making shows make good entertainment, it's not likely to find love under the glaring lights of a television studio. Time is overdue for the government to rein in the TV dating programs that have gone too far. (199 words)

The past six years have witnessed an alarming increase in big fires in China. As the charts show, there were 8 fires nationwide in 2005, causing 110 deaths. Yet, alarmingly, 19 fires broke out in 2010, which claimed 250 lives.

As far as I can see, the causes of fires can be listed as follows. By far, the greatest cause of fires is carelessness about safety regulations. Statistics from a recent survey show that mishandling of electric appliances is responsible for

46% of the all the fires in 2010. The poor quality of household appliances also plays its part. An astonishing 35% of fires were traced to faulty devices such as shoddy electric blankets, heaters and cookers, according to a study by the Shanghai Fire Fighting Bureau. Finally, many premises, such as Internet cafes, nightclubs or department stores focus so much on profits that they put fire prevention on the back burner.

Dreadful as they are, fires are preventable and survivable. To minimize the risk of fire, every city residence should be required to keep a fire extinguisher and every city resident should be taught the skills of self-rescue. (189 words)

The past 30 years have seen an increasing presence of female students on

campus in China’s higher education. As the bar graph indicates, girls made up 23% of the country’s college population in 1980, but the percentage jumped to slightly over 50% in 2010.

There are political and social factors contributing to this encouraging progress. First, the government has been taking positive steps to ensure that girls have equal access to educational opportunities over the last generation. Many school districts, for instance, tailored courses to girls' interests and learning styles. So a greater number of girls were scoring higher and moving on to higher learning. Second, the changed attitude towards women also played its part. With reduced pressure to marry young and have babies and increased pressure to compete with males in the labor force, more girls are eager to pursue higher education.

Women’s education has great significance to the future of our country. In order for this trend to continue, the government must redouble its efforts to put girls on an equal footing with their male peers. (178 words)

Cultural integration contributes greatly to the development of Chinese culture. As is illustrated in the drawing, just as a hotpot is delicious and nutritious with a variety of ingredients, by embracing elements from other cultures, the Chinese culture has become more colorful.

Let’s take the Tang Dynasty, the heyday of cultural integration in the Chinese history, as an example. In Chang’an, the then capital city, a wide variety of foreign commodities can be found, languages of many countries can be heard, music and dance of exotic styles can be enjoyed. It is this integration that forged the most culturally splendid period in China. A similar example is the American culture. Over the past three hundred years, each new group of immigrants brought their beliefs, traditions and customs to the new land. This “melting” of different cultures formed American culture, the most influential one in the world.

In the Internet era, no country is immune to the ongoing cultural blending. In order to enrich and revitalize the Chinese culture, we must incorporate useful

elements from other cultures. (175 words)

Recent years have witnessed a craze for worshipping stars. As is shown in the first photo, a young man so admires Beckham that he has the football star’s name written on his face. In the second photo, another young man spends as much as 300 yuan for a hairstyle modeled on that of Beckham.

Star obsession is harmful or even disastrous. Consider Yang Lijuan, a 30-year-old girl from Lanzhou in Northwest China. She was a devoted fan of Andy Lau, the most famous actor in the Hong Kong show business. The girl always wishes to meet Andy despite her family living in poverty. Her father sold their farm and house to fulfill her wish. After meeting Andy Lau in a fan club meeting, she wanted to have dinner with him. Her father wrote to Andy and begged him to meet his daughter; otherwise, he would commit suicide. When Andy Lau rejected his request, the father, true to his word, threw himself into the sea.

Tragic as the event, th e general public wasn’t sympathetic towards the Yangs. It is blind worship that ruined the family. So though worshipping stars in moderation is OK, don’t let it get out of control. (199 words)

Nowadays there is a widespread concern that schoolchildren are given too much homework. As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, a schoolboy, his legs shaking and sweat pouring down his forehead, is trudging home, with a mountainous schoolbag on his back.

Too much homework hurts schoolchildren, both physically and mentally. Consider Liu Zhiyu, a Beijing University graduate and math prodigy, who went to Longquan Temple to become a monk in July, 2010. Why? His parents have been very strict with him since he was a little boy. His mother never allowed him to go out and play, even during the holidays. What he could do is study and study. Though an academic success, he is lonely, unhappy and poor in health. Bitterly disappointed with life, he resorted to the temple for peace of mind. From this story, we can see that sacrificing a happy childhood doesn’t necessarily guarantee a bright future.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It is widely hoped that educators,

parents and government officials make joint efforts to relieve schoolchildren of their homework loads. (181 words)

In recent years there has been a craze for certificates on campus. As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, a young man, thin and with a pair of glasses, is bending under the heavy weight of a pile of certificates on his back.

You might wonder: What’s behind the current fad? Most students want to have a certificate to enhance their employability. With the competition in the job market getting increasingly fierce, many students fear that they will be at a disadvantage and have a harder time finding a job if they do not have at least one certificate. Others, however, pursue a certificate to fulfill their cherished

dream. Consider Rebecca Zhang, 21, a senior at Shanghai University. She has been a lover of English since her girlhood, but somehow was enrolled as a mechanics major. She studied English in her spare time and managed to get a Certificate in Advanced Interpretation last year.

In my opinion, the certificate fever will have a negative influence on college students if it gets out of control. After all, what good is a certificate if a student ignores his / her academic courses? (190 words)

Where to live --- in the City or the Country

There is no consensus of opinion among people as to which is a better place to live --- the city or the country. While some people appreciate the conveniences of the city, others, however, believe that country life is peaceful, simple and pleasant.

There are many advantages to living in the city, ranging from excellent educational resources to sophisticated transport facilities. Also, shopping malls are always within easy reach, with a wide variety of goods to choose from. In addition, city life is more colorful, as city residents can go to different places of entertainment to their liking. Country life, however, has attractions of its own. Breathing fresh air, listening to the songs of birds, tasting green food, rural dwellers live in close contact with Nature. What’s more, people in the countryside are generally friendly and helpful, in stark contrast to the coldness in big cities.

However, both city life and country life have their respective disadvantages. Wonderful as the city is, it is overcrowded. Country life, on the other hand, may appear monotonous. As for me, I prefer to live in the city because it is an ideal place for my career. (194 words)

China experienced a boom in vehicle sales in the past decade. As is shown in the line graph, 2.37 million vehicles were sold in 2001. The figure had risen steadily until 2008, when auto sales soared and hit 18.06 million units in 2010.

A number of factors can account for the explosive growth in automobile sales. First, after two decades of reform and opening-up policy, the Chinese have become more affluent. With their wallets bulging, people in increasing numbers wasted no time in buying their first car, joining millions of others who, for the first time, were able to enjoy a middle-class lifestyle. In the wealthy suburbs of big cities, a car is a virtual necessity. Also playing a part in the buying spree is China's auto replacement policy. In a bid to stimulate automotive consumption, the government rolled out the "old car for new" subsidy in 2008 --- drastically

boosting domestic auto spending.

Aside from polluting the environment, the car boom has also increased the country’s dependence on imported oil and thus jeopardized China’s energy security. So it is advisable for China to slow down the pace of popularizing cars. (191 words)

The auto sales in China and the U.S. experienced opposite trends from 2004 to 2010. As the chart reveals, China’s auto sales stayed at 5.1 million units in 2004, but the figure soared to 18.06 in 2010. By contrast, vehicle sales in the U.S. fell from 16.9 million units to 11.5 in the same period.

The difference was largely due to their different performance in the economic recession which began in 2007. China, with its stimulus package, has weathered the economic slump much better than the U.S. Due to Chinese government’s tax and subsidy policies, auto sales have been growing rapidly despite rising oil prices. The U.S., however, fared badly in the depression. Its auto market, already approaching its saturation point, was worsened by the economic decline. With the job market severely wounded, and with consumer spending expected to be weak for a very long time, it is not surprising to see the American automotive sales slip.

Though an indicator of China’s econom ic might, the present car boom has raised growing environmental concerns. It is hoped that the government will play a positive role in promoting environmentally friendly vehicles. (189 words)

Nowadays the spiraling divorce rate is giving cause for serious concern in China. As is shown in the chart, 1.2 million Chinese couples broke up in 2001, but the figure more than doubled to 2.5 million in 2009.

Some blame the rise in broken marriages on the movies and television series, which highlight love triangle, extramarital affairs or even one-night stand. Others point their accusing fingers at the oversimplified laws and procedures, which allow couples to get their divorce certificate more easily. But I think they only skim the surface of the problem. In my view, the recent surge in divorce rate is attributable to the changes in the mindset of the young generation. Typically single-child born in the 1980s, t oday’s twenty-somethings are generally better educated, more independent economically and have developed a stronger sense of self, so they tend to be less tolerant of less-than-perfect unions.

Whatever the cause, broken marriages are having serious consequences for the society. It’s time for the government to take concrete measures to rescue marriages and restore people’s faith in marital happiness. (178 words)

Recently deceptive pricing at some large supermarkets has become the focus of public attention. As is depicted in the cartoon, a shopper at the check-out is scrutinizing his gift receipt and, to his dismay, finding that he was charged 19 yuan for an item which is advertised at 9 yuan.

Though there is no quick solution to this problem, the following measures might be worth trying.First, law enforcement departments should launch thorough investigations into such illegal practices at hypermarkets. Any offenders should be fined heavily, as in the case of Carrefour, the French retail

giant, whose 11 outlets were fined 500,000 yuan each for overcharging customers. Also, shoppers should remain vigilant to the irregularities of the retailers, no matter how renowned they may be. Obviously, in their recent price deception scandal Carrefour and Wal-Mart have taken advantage of customers' trust in their reputation.

To tackle the problem at its root, the government should further strengthen price monitoring and severely punish the superstores, domestically or foreign-funded, found involved in violating China's pricing laws. (172 words)

Imported milk powder is grabbing an ever increasing share of China’s domestic market. As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, a large cow, which

symbolizes foreign milk powder, is squeezing a thin cow, which represents the domestically-made milk powder out of the market.

A number of factors have contributed to this deplorable situation. The most significant one is the 2008 scandal, in which some home-made milk powder was found to contain melamine, a chemical used in plastics and fertilizers. At least six Chinese babies died and about 300,000 were sickened by the tainted milk. The scan dal destroyed people’s confidence in domestically produced baby food and has since driven up China's imports of milk powder. Also playing a part is the clever marketing strategy of foreign dairy producers, which have long eyed China as a potentially lucrative export market. They have successfully advertised their products as the symbol of high quality.

In the face of aggressive marketing of overseas enterprises, the Chinese dairy industry has much hard work to do to beat its foreign rivals. Above all, it should invest more in cow farms to ensure the safety of milk. (189 words)

In recent years food safety has ranked as a top public concern in China. As is depicted in the cartoon, a worried couple, holding a baby crying loudly from hunger, are puzzled about which brand of milk powder is safe.

Unsafe foods have seriously endangered the health of consumers. In 2008, at least six babies were killed and more than 300,000 others sickened by the melamine-tainted milk powder. The scandal shocked the country. Consumers, however, are not the only victims. Also hurt is the reputation of the Chinese food industry. The spate of food safety scandals shattered people’s confidence in home-made infant food. According to official statistics, foreign brands now account for half of all milk powder sold in China. And many countries stopped importing dairy products from China in the wake of the 2008 scandal, spelling disaster for export-oriented food makers.

In view of its serious consequences, it is time to root out the food safety problem, for this situation, if allowed to continue, will threaten people’s health, tarnish the image of China and most seriously, undermine the Chinese government’s ongoing drive to build a harmonious society. (188 words)

Recently the issue of celebrities endorsing shoddy products has become the focus of public concern. As can be seen in the cartoon, a star is touting inferior products like a puppet. Behind the curtain is hiding a lawbreaking manufacturer who is manipulating the puppet.

Why is celebrity endorsement so prevalent? The answer involves two factors. First, manufacturers cash in on celebrities’ popularity. For instance, using celebrities to promote a product is especially effective for kids and teens. If they see their idols recommending a product, they will be more likely to buy it. Second, celebrities’ greed for money al so plays its role. Some actors, singers and athletes have no qualms about pushing anything from toothbrush to sanitary towel as long as they are handsomely paid. A recent example is Hou
