Which Is Better, Traditional or Modern? Recently a foreign design company was invited to design modern and futuristic buildings in a little-known mountainous area in Guiyang where most of the architectures there remain traditional and regional features. While some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design, it is my belief that the act is unwise for a number of reasons.
To begin with, a city is by a large portion characterized by its unique cultural heritage, which is actually its cultural identity. In a mountainous area where its buildings are supposed to be built with local features, too many unconventional, super-futuristic buildings will therefore not be compatible with the surroundings and the landscapes of the city. Once these landscapes are replaced with modern architectures, the city will inevitably lose its cultural identity and ultimately end up being yet another face in the crowd among the already countless modern ones.
Second, building those modern architectures would not be a good idea to attract investments because it could be
rather costly for the local government. This is especially important to small cities, like this one in a mountainous area near Guiyang which is still an under-developing one. Investments on unconventional, super-futuristic buildings mean a large financial budget that adds more burdens to this city, having counter effects on the original purpose of enhancing development. However, it can actually help a city save a large amount of money by suiting the design to local conditions and trying to take advantage of the local resources. With the money saved, the local government could focus more on the various urban sectors, including housing, infrastructure and governance to ensure that the maximum economic benefits are achieved.
Undoubtedly, the intentions of the local officials are good. What they hope to see is that by giving the city a new look, more opportunities could be created for development. However as the proverb goes ‘more haste, less speed’, it should always be marked that the modernization should be a gradual process rather than a sudden change in the appearance. Nonetheless, that the
shortcomings of futuristic-style constructing outweigh the advantages they bring should never be overlooked. With the arguments above given, it is my strong conviction that the practice of replacing traditional buildings with modern ones is inappropriate. And in order to achieve the goal of better development, it is highly suggested that the local government take approaches that are more sensible and practical.。

3. 真题范文Respecting Local CharacteristicsRecently a heated debate was triggered off by the report that a little-known mountainous area near Guiyang, Guizhou Province plans to turn itself into a central business district with unconventional, super-futuristic buildings, never paying appropriate attention to its local characteristics. Some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design, whereas others hold that the design should suit its local conditions and reflect its regional characteristics or cultural heritage. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the latter.Firstly, any urban design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account. Functional and harmonious architectures are needed to suit the life of the people there. In a mountainous area, unconventional and super-futuristic buildings are incompatible with its landscapes and they usually prove to be unsuited to the climate. Besides, the disappearance of its original features may mean the disappearance of a period of history and even the disappearance of its symbol and identity.Secondly, the form of traditional buildings anywhere in the world is influenced by local climate and geology. Therefore, the design well suited to local conditions can save a lot of money. As a small developing mountainous area near Guiyang, it should try to take good advantage of its local resources. Over the centuries, the local materials have become the raw material used by sophisticated and expert craftsmen. If it falsely understood “progress”, wanted to be “modern” at any price, despised the outstanding features of its traditional culture and attempted to introduce reinforced concrete buildings, it would impose great pressure on its people. In addition, such buildings require expensive maintenance which is a heavy burden for its people.Thirdly, it will take a long period of time before local people can truly be accustomed to and appreciate the unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. Lived in the traditional buildings for generations, local citizens are very likely to feel uncomfortable and uneasy surrounded by such super-futuristic buildings, let alone to appreciate them.To sum up, a good d esign should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account and suit to local conditions. It should also try to take advantage of local resources and avoid imposing unnecessary burden on the local people. Besides, it is sensible to build what local people can accept and feel comfortable with.Are Dialects Just as Acceptable in Public Places?In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.It is known to all that Mandarin, or putonghua, is the standard language in China’s service sector. However, recently quite a few employees at metropolis subway stations start using dialects to better serve people from different areas of China. As a result, the opinion on this practice varies from person to person. Some people regard it as a useful supplement of the current service, while others see the countering effects of such movement to the national policy of promoting mandarin across China. From my point of view, I believe dialects are acceptable in public places. Although Mandarin, or putonghua is promoted widely and vigorously in accordance with the national policy, dialects are still acceptable in public places.First of all, dialects are a kind of culture instead of merely a tool for communication. They represent their respective and distinct cultures. If dialects are totally banned from our daily use or even eliminated from our lives, the cultures will be incomplete or even gradually disappear.Secondly, dialects can enrich the content of Mandarin, or putonghua so as to promote its long-term and healthy development. The dialect in Northeast China brings a lot of fun and happiness to the majority of the Chinese in recent years through television and Internet. Such a cultural phenomenon demonstrates the audience’s attitude towards local dialects which are capable of catering to the taste of the majority of the Chinese people.Thirdly, dialects are also the only way of communication for those undereducated local people. If local dialects are forbidden in the public places, they cannot communicate smoothly. Last but not least, dialects are capable of bringing people together. It is often the case that people feel close to and tend to trust those who speak the same dialects with them, which will surely promote the harmony of the society.Therefore, I can naturally and safely come to the conclusion that local dialects should be tolerated and accepted in public places for their unique role in the society which Mandarin, orPutonghua cannot replace. We should guarantee their existence because they stand for our cultures. From a long-term perspective, dialects should not and would not be prohibited. There is no need for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects. The best way to protect dialects is to use them in daily life and pass them down from generation to generation.What I have learned from my years at university?Before I went to university, it seemed to be such a holy place. As for me, it meant glory, respect, freedom, knowledge and a promising future. However, it was not until I entered the university that I realized it was not the whole story. I have learned much from my four years at university, such as hard work, self-control, friendship and teamwork.University is a highly competitive place. If you don't want to lag behind other students, you have to study very hard. Besides, the pressure of hunting for a desirable job after graduation also forces you to grasp every minute to equip yourself with as much knowledge as possible. Self-control is another thing that I have learned in university. Here, the absence of parents' control and the loose control of the school give me more freedom. In addition, university is vulnerable易受攻击的to social influences. So I have to learn how to control myself. I try to arrange my life properly, which, on the other hand, prevents me from indulging in seeking pleasure, and on the other hand, enables me to enjoy university life.University life makes me have a deeper understanding of friendship. Friendship has become an important part of my life that I can not live without. Far away from my parents, my friends have become my dearest family members. When I feel lonely, they always sit beside me, let me pour out my secrets to them, and softly comfort me. When I am in trouble and feel helpless, it is my friends who reach out their hands and help me out.Last but not least, university teaches me the importance of teamwork. There are lots of activities in university that you can not accomplish on your own, but have to rely on your cooperation with other people. Cooperation, in turn, relies on effective communication. Effective communication builds on mutual understanding. Thus, I have to try my best to let my cooperators understand me, just as I do my best to understand them.In a few months' time, I am going to graduate from university. Looking back into the past four years, I must say that my university life is a worthwhile experience. What I have learned here has made a good preparation for my future life. If I were given another chance, I would like to relive it.Time flies, do you believe that I have been a junior in so short time that I think I am just a freshman. What more serious thing is that I did not realize this term has passed half already whenI thought I did not do anything benefit to myself, especially to my studying. During the more than two years’ university life, I have really realized the stress from the studying an d the social, though the life seems still very ordinary and leisure. However, I have learned many valuable principles and life experience from my years at university, which will be very useful in my lifetime, especially will be good to my work in the society.First of all, after studying in the university these years, I really want to say that our senior middle schools’ teachers treated us. The studying in university is not so comfortable just as they said which also needs us to study hard to really improve our abilities. Only in the university, I really know what is individual study and how important of lifetime studying. Even if we leave the school to the society, we also need to study and it is very benefit to our improvement.Besides, the most impressed thing to me is that we need to save and value time. Just as the old saying: Time is money. In the fast rhythm life nowadays, time is more important. We must learn to increase of the efficiency, especially in our careers in the future.What’s more, these ye ars in the university I deeply realized that the importance of the teamwork. As a monitor, I really think that a good team will gain more than what it need and use less time. So how to establish a good team is especially important to us which are very benefit to our future work. However the university is a good place to learn it.University is the epitome of our society; we need to work hard in it to prepare well for entering the society.What I have learned from my years at universityWhat have I learned from my years at university? Frankly speaking, I seem to remain untouched or intact. Standing by the window lost in thought for a long time, I realize that nothing in the world remains unchanged: the course of life never runs smooth, for there are so many ups and downs, twists and turns.Firstly, self-esteem equips me for life's challenges. It is as essential as the air we breathe. It makes me feel worthy and confident about who I am and believe in my intrinsic value. Hence, I’m able to face the real ity and be adult in my responses to life’s challenges. Secondly, courage and acceptance lead me to the road of success. A man without failures, in some sense, is a poor man. Of course I will fall into a “well” or something else. Life is going to shovel di rt on me, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to accept the situation, stop wailing and be courageous enough to shake the dirt off and take a step up. Actually each one of my troubles is a stepping stone. Only with courage and acceptance can I get out of the deepest wells. Thirdly, my distinctive individuality or something special of mine make me stand out. I may have my peculiar insight into an issue and not be controlled by anyone else. I may have my style in terms of studyand extra activities.What I have learned from my years at university seems plain but it is hard for me to acquire them totally because a person is never too old to learn. All I can do is to go on pursuing them. What I Have Learned from My Years at UniversityMore than two thousand years ago, Confucius, one of the greatest philosophers and educators in Chinese history, sigh with grief while standing on the river and compared the transient passage of time to the flowing water. With a blink of eyes, I will graduate from this university a few months later. At this moment, I think I have a deeper understanding of this great thinker’s saying. Thinking of my impending graduation, I am excited but meanwhile I am upset, mixed with some other feelings beyond words. Looking back the details of the past few years, I can’t help asking myself, “What have I learned from my years at university?”In my opinion, this question is one that every one of us can’t avoid.I think what I have learned in the passing years is that I have gained more knowledge and acquired some basic professional skills, which will lay a sound foundation for my future career.Through the involvement of various social activities and participation in different clubs and association, I got to know more friends as well as my classmates. By getting along with them, I have acquired some useful communicative skills and begin to know how to understand and appreciate others, which I suppose, will be expected to play an important role in my future life. More importantly, I have gained the abilities to handle the problems and deal with crises independently.If it is safe to say that I have ever achieved some achievements at university, first I’d like to attribute them to my teachers, classmates and friends. Had not been for their staunch support and unselfish aid, I wouldn’t have reached one goal after another. With them I have established an intimate relationship and it is believed that I will continue to benefit from it.In the spare time, I often went to take part in some sports with my friends. I have been fond of playing table tennis and badminton. And I went to the gym once or twice a week with them. By going in for the sports, I became stronger and stronger and I am sure you will see everything when you see my robust constitution.Before I went to college, I had been somewhat bashful and even blushed to speak in public. But now I can talk like a streak for a few hours. Isn’t it amazing?I believe that we study at university not only to learn some professional skills and some knowledge that will be behind the times soon. But more importantly, we have to master the way of thinking and acquire some abilities that we learn beyond books. With these qualities I am sure that we will have enough confidence to meet with the challenges in the future.Financial Disparity: Not a Barrier for FriendshipWith the development of market economy in China arise the income gaps between people working in different fields: some earn good money; some make ends meet; some others live on narrow means. On top of many social problems, this financial disparity may cause, there is a claim that it affects friendship. The assumption seems reasonable, but we may find it does not really hold water by taking a close look into the subject.First of all, true and lasting friendship is built on common values, pursuits, or hobbies rather than similar incomes. Friends are those who agree with your life views and stick to the some principles, those who encourage you when you lack confidence in meeting challenges and pursuing your dream, or those who share your interests and appreciate your tastes. Indeed, what strengthens these emotional bonds between you and your pals is not the same amount of wealth but spiritual commonalities. Of course, with similar financial backgrounds, you will probable know better about each other's life style, but the difference in this aspect will not matter if you are mutually appreciated, needed and trusted. The friendship between Marx and Engels--the two German revolutionists--is a case in point. The former was often in debt while the latter was well-off; yet the same socialist dream drew them together and made them forever friends.Moreover, financial disparity between friends does not cause trouble because each of them usually lives a self-reliant life. Different from a married couple who have common properties, budget and spend their income together; even very close friends live on their own finances. For instance, though we exchange ideas with and confide secrets to our friends, we will never rely on them for a comfortable life, no matter how rich they are. Admittedly, there are times when we may go out for fun or to dinner together with friends; however, whether they are richer or poorer than us, we can definitely find a place suitable for all rather than one beyond somebody's means.It is claimed that people with different financial backgrounds have different social contacts and accordingly, as friends, will get estranged sooner or later. It is true in some cases, but bosom friends are not those who you get in touch with every day, instead, they are those who lend their hands to you when you fall into trouble, just as the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Hence, despite their distinct material life, the richer and the poorer can retain their friendship as long as they still care about each other, understand and support each other.To sum up, financial disparity will not affect friendship when people have common spiritual pursuits, lead an independent life and stand by each other for better or worse. It might be quite safe to say that money is not the barrier but the touchstone of real friendship.Financial Disparity: a Barrier for FriendshipFriends are the most important treasures in the world. Throughout our lives, we never stop making friends. Some people think that financial disparity affects friendship. It is difficult for people of different economic backgrounds to become good friends. Without a second thought, some people may rush to dispute this. However, given more rational consideration and careful observation, it has to be admitted that financial disparity is a barrier for friendship.First of all, it is hard for people of different financial backgrounds to share to same interests. Common interest is thought to be the basic bond between two friends, because a friend is someone we spend them together with and we do things together with. For example, a girl from a rich family will probably develop some “expensive” interests like piano-playing or ballet-dancing; while a girl from a poor one may only be able to afford to enjoy some “cheap” hobbies like reading books or collecting used stamps. Therefore, it is rare for the two to meet on the same road of friendship, and it is e ven rarer for the two to walk down the road side by side. After all, “birds of a feather flock together”.Secondly, financial disparity will make mutual understanding difficult to reach between the rich and the poor. The economically superior ones will not understand why their friends do “not want” to go to the concert with them, why they “prefer” to dine at the dirty and noisy roadside restaurant, and why they “like to wear” the same clothes for several days. I guess they will never understand if they do n ot put into their poor friends’ condition. How can you ask a man who has never tasted green apples to tell how tart they are? Obviously, on understanding, no friendship. It is neither the fault of the rich nor that of the poor. It is just that they seem to belong to different worlds.Besides, financial disparity will cause the feeling of being inferior and discriminated for the relatively poor one. Equality is the most important nutrition in friendship, based on which the flower of friendship can bud and blossom. However, because of the disparity in financial matters, the relatively poor one will often live under great pressure and always feel inferior, through which their self-esteem is greatly hurt and the feeling of inequality grows. Without a feeling of equality, friendship is just like a castle in the air.Needless to say, it is difficult for people of different financial backgrounds to become good friends, because it is hard for them to share the same interests and to understand the feelings of each other. No one does not crave for friendship, but remember to plant your flower of friendship in the hearts of those who have similar backgrounds as you, where the flower can live long and blossom lively.Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer, once said, “We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide so that what makes us significant is either what we do or what werefuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.”Do you agree or disagree with him? Write an essay of about 400 words entitled: AMBITION1) What does the word “ambition” mean?2) Can our destiny be determined by it?3) Are there any examples to illustrate the argument?AmbitionAmbition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision.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 specially oriented. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.First of all, 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. Only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Julius Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered”, and he 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 potential will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Hellen Keller. It is her ambition to be a useful person that has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aiming at the sun, who may yet 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 into his tragic doom.To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if it is 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 be even painful. In my mind, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-oriented ambition. (468 words)Interview is frequently used by employers as a means to recruit prospective employees. As a result, there have been many arguments for or against the interview as a selection procedure. What is your opinion? Write an essay of about 400 words to state your view.1) What does “a selection procedure” mean?2) Usually what sorts of questions will be asked in an interview?3) Why nowadays interview is a popular practice to recruit personnel?Interview Should Be a Part of the Selection ProcedureNowadays, when it comes to one of the most heated topics underthe thorough preparation for it, while employers bother to be present at the scene of it, going through every applicant every now and then. Therefore, whether interview should be a part of the selection procedure comes to the spotlight. As far as I am concerned, I consider interviews to be essential for both employers and employees.To start with, it is through the process of interview that the bosses get to know the candidates. Unlike resumes on which only the applicants’ basic information is presented in the written form, interviews provide employers with a precious opportunity to discover the applicants’true selves and examine their actual scope and amount of knowledge, thus having a clear idea of them, including their expertise, manners, communication skills, art of critical thinking, sense of responsibility, to name just a few. In this process, truly capable applicants can demonstrate their potentials to the greatest extent, thus leaving a vivid impression on the employers, which is definitely conducive to their entering the next round and stepping closer to their successful acquiring the job. On the contrary, those skillful in nothing but boasting themselves will be rejected, while those truly able applicants can survive, entering the second round of the interview, which is bound to be teeming with even more challenging questions.In addition,whether their choice of the company is correct or not. As the word suggests, “interview” refers to seeing each other. Besides being inquired by the company, job candidates at an interview can askthe interviewers detailed questions about the job as well as the company. It is commonplace forto give up the chance for the next round of interviews simply because they are dissatisfied with the company at first glance, let alone the messy working conditions or the meager salary offered. Hence, by means of interview, the times when “companies choose employees” have gone, which is a sign that job hunters are gaining more rights.In conclusion, interview should be a part of the selection procedure because of the’s all get used to and be familiar with it and we have every reason to believe that it is of even greater importance in the selection of the staff in personnel. (432 words)It is reported in the press some time ago that few second-and third-year students in a provincial university decided to try their hands at business in order to get prepared for the future. They opened six small shops near their university. Their teachers and classmates had different opinions about this phenomenon. S ome thought that the students’ business experience would help them adapt better to society after graduation, while others held a negative view, saying that running shops might occupy too much of the students’ time and energy which should otherwise be devoted to their academic study. What do you think? Write a composition of 300 words on the following topic:SHOULD UNIVERSITY STUDNETS GO IN FOR BUSINESS?Argument: As far as I am concerned, it is generally not advisable forbusiness.Reason 1: who engage in business tend to ignore their academic learning in university.Supporting detail 1(reality): credits to gain, courses to attend, books to read, assignments to complete, and exams to takeSupporting detail 2 (quotation): “Knowledge is power”. (Francis Bacon)Reason 2: Doing business is not as easy as some college students have imagined.Supporting detail 1 (reality): fierce competition with large corporationsSupporting detail 2 (reality): lack of experience or financial supportRestatement: From what has been discussed, we may safely draw the conclusion that it isAt present, you may often encounter some students who are selling electronic dictionaries, flash disks, or cosmetics on university campus.

英语专业八级作文范文
"When people succeed, it is because of hard work, Luck has nothing to do with success." Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific and examples to explain your position.When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it, too. Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, “I know he’s good. But is he lucky?” Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can’t make up for bad luck. Ho wever, hard work can invite good luck.When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard also means you’re preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck. How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance? One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus’so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus’ chance discovery wasn’t pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round.Success that comes from pure luck and no hard work can be a real problem. For example, consider a teenage girl who becomes a movie star.Imagine she’s been picked from nowhere because of her look s. She is going to feel very insecure, because she knows she didn’t do anything to earn her stardom. On the other hand, think about an actress who’s spend years learning and working at her craft. When she finally has good luck and becomes a success, she will handle stardom better, she knows she earns it.People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success. I think that hard work and luck so hand in handDo you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities as to university libraries. Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learn about teamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a university education.Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best education. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain. These include computerized programs and access to internet research databases that students can use to find information all around the world. If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it’s depriving those students of a tremendous amount of information.Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up tremendously in lastdecade. More is being published on every subject, and every university wants to have this information available to its students.It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open. Students need to have access to all the libraries' research tools as much of time as possible. Because students are young and can stay up all night studying, many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all night during exam periods. This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be there. It also costs money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that time.Students at universities are only going to benefit from their education if they can get to all the tools they need to learn. Sports are secondary to the resources that students need from university libraries. For this reason, libraries should always be better funded than sport activities.Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.People love to visit museums when traveling to new places. I think this is because museums tell them a lot about the culture of those places. Museums are also fun. It’s almost impossible to get bored in a museum. Every museum will have at least one thing of interest to somebody.When visiting someplace new, you can find out about the culture of that place in many ways. You can go to a movie or a place of worship or a nightclub. Another option is to sit in the park and listen to the people around you. The easiest way to learn about a place's culture, though, is by visiting its museums. Museums will show you the history of the place you're visiting. They’ll show you what art the locals think is important.If there aren't any museums, that tells you something, too.Museums are fun. Even if you're not interested in art or history, there is always something to get your attention. Many museums now have what they call "hands-on" exhibits. These were originally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at exhibits. However, museums have found that adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as much as children. These exhibits have activities like pushing a button to hear more about what you're looking at, creating your own work of art, or trying on clothes like those on the models in the museum.People also enjoy visiting museums about unusual subjects. For instance, in my hometown there's a museum devoted to the potato. This museum has art made out of potatoes. It also tells all about the history of the potato, and sells potato mementos like key chains and potato dolls.People enjoy visiting this museum because it's different. It’s not something they'd find in their hometown and the museum's curator enjoy talking about the Great Potato. Museums are popular because they are about us. They reflect our creations, our values, and our dreams. No matter who you are or what you like, somewhere there is a museum that will amaze and interest you.Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home. Often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have. Those with very busy jobs outside the house don't always have time to cook. They like the convenience of eating out. Overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home.While eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spend can add up. When I have dinner at restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars. I can buy a lot of groceries with that much money. Even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one pe rson. That’s enough to feed the whole family at home.Eating at home is better for you, too. Meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food--much more food than you need to eat at one meal. If you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients. You can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza. At home, you can control your portion size. You can serve yourself as little as you want. In a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food "because you paid for it".It's true that eating out is convenient. You don't have to shop, or cook, or clean up. But real home cooking doesn't have to take a lot of time. There are lots of simple meals that don't take long to make. In fact, they're faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spend driving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home.Both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying. Both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends. I prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best.Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.Some people may believe that going to classes should be optional, but I disagree. I don't understand how university students can expect to learn anything if they don't attend classes. Personal experience can help people learn about themselves and the world outside the classroom, but when it comes to learning about academic subjects, students need to be in class.In class they receive the benefit of the teacher's knowledge. The best teachers do more than just go over the material in than class textbook. They draw their students into discussion of the material. They present opposing points of view. They schedule guest speakers to come, give the students additional information, or show documentary films on the subject.Also, attending classes on any subject teaches more than just facts. It teaches studentshow to learn, how to absorb information and then apply what they've learned to other situations. Their teacher is the best one to help them with these skills. They can't learn them just by reading the textbook.Going to class also teaches students how to work with the other members of the class. Many times students will be given group assignments. This is different from what they did in secondary school. Here they're with people from different backgrounds and experiences. In this situation, they learn how to handle working with people different from themselves to achieve a common goal.Going to class also teaches students responsibility and discipline. Having to be at a particular place at a particular time prepares them for getting a job. Being at a place on time with an assignment completed prepares them for a career.In short, by going to class students learn more than just information from the teacher. They also learn how to learn, how to work with others, and how to work responsibly. These are not optional skills in life, so attending classes should not be optional in college.Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion, what are the qualities of a good neighbor? Use specific details and examples in your answer.If you have a good neighbor, you are a lucky person. You have someone who cares about your needs and your property, who is helpful in the little day-to-day situations that come up, and who is supportive in times of crisis.A good neighbor is someone who, for instance, understands that your children may occasionally run across his lawn, even though you tell them not to. He'll realize that children can be careless about things like that, and he won't make a big fuss about it unless it becomes a regular thing. In the same vein, he knows that you'll understand if some of the trash from his trash cans blows across into your yard. IN other words, he is sensitive to the unintentional things that can happen. He doesn't make a big deal about them.A good neighbor is also respectful of your property. For example, she asks your permission before doing anything that interferes with what's yours. This means she wouldn't plant a huge tree in between your houses without asking how you feel about it. If she wanted to put up a fence, she would let you know first. She might work with you to decide where it should be placed. Maybe the two of you would even split the cost.A good neighbor would lend you some milk if you ran out . She'd give you a ride to work if your car was broken, and let your children stay at her house in the evening if you got stuck working overtime. You would do the same for her. Both of you would help make the other's life easier.when something really awful happens to you, like a death in the family, a good neighbor will volunteer to help in any way he can. This could mean something small, like making some casseroles to put in your freezer to feed vesting relatives, Or it could mean something big, like helping you get through the sadness of the funeral.I think only someone who has experienced a bad neighbor can really appreciate a goodone! A good neighbor can be a good friend. He or she can make all the difference in the world to your life.It has recently been announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.I can see both advantages and disadvantages to having a new restaurant built in our neighborhood. I'm worried about traffic and how it will affect our neighborhood. However, I think that it will benefit local businesses and increase appreciation for our neighborhood. Overall, I think it is a good idea.Traffic congestion is always a concern when you build something new. Our streets are narrow, with parking on both sides. More cars traveling through the neighborhood could cause a lot of congesting. Traffic means parking problems, too. Our neighborhood has very few garages attached to the houses. Most of us depend on finding a space to park on the street. If the new restaurant is built, we’ll be competing for those spaces with the restaurant's patrons. Plus, if the restaurant offers wallet parking, it'll be even worse. Valet parkers work in teams to grab every possible space available on the street.I'm also concerned about the type of patrons this new restaurant will bring into our neighborhood. A family restaurant wouldn't be a problem. However, if it's going have a bar and dancing, then there could be problems. The restaurant would stay open later, and people leaving the restaurant might be drunk. Who wouldn't worry about rowdy customers staggering around our neighborhood in the early morning hours, looking for their cars?I have to admit, though, there are advantages to a new restaurant. Our neighborhood could certainly use the jobs the restaurant would provide. Not only that, the money neighborhood residents would earn there would likely be spent at other neighborhood businesses. This would give a boost to those businesses and make our neighborhood more prosperous.A new restaurant would also attract a lot of people to our neighborhood. They could see what a nice area this is to live. That might attract new residents to the neighborhood. That would be a good thing, because we've been losing residents to the suburbs the last couple of years.There are a lot of details to consider, but all in all, I support the idea of this new restaurant in our neighborhood.Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop your essay.Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn about something more complex, it's always best to have a teacher.Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. They've been trained to teachindividuals in different ways depending on their style. For instance, omen students learn better by discussing a topic. Others learn more by writing about it. Teachers can help students learn in the way that's best of each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something. Plus they're only as helpful as your ability to understand them. A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs.Teachers help you focus on what you're learning. If you're learning something by yourself, it’s easy to become distracted, and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time. On your own, it's tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don’t need. That can binder your ability to really understand the subject.Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher's own knowledge of the topic. Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you're learning.There's nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study. For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.。

While physical exercise is important, I do not believe that it is the school’s responsibility to provide physical training for its students.That is something that everyone can take care of on his or her own.Many students get plenty of physical exercise as part of their daily life or recreation. A student who bicycles ten miles to and from school does not need more exercise. A good physical ed ucation program must take a student’s outside activity into consideration. Otherwise, some students will spend valuable class hours repeating physical exercise.If a school offers such activities, it also suggests that students will be graded on them. The range of possible physical activities is great: football, swimming, weight lifting, ballet, ballroom dance, yoga, skiing, horseback riding, and golf are just a few. However, the number of activities that a school could offer is small. Some students could get bad grades in physical education simply because the school could not provide an activity they enjoy or do well. This seems unfair. Research suggests that participation, not excellence, in these activities determines the physical benefits the body will get.Another issue is economic. Many schools do not have the money to provide gry facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their student. Other schools are located in cities where the kind of space just is not available. A few schools would rather keep money for academic purposes.Schools can certainly encourage physical activity. They can provide space for activities, events, and classes for physical activities. They can encourage students to plan time away from academic studies to get some exercise. However, I think that providing exercise should not be the schools responsibility.Living In University Dormitories or Apartments in the Community?I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Student’s needs change over four years, so their housing should too.Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy.Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s reg ulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood.Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education.Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel.I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students. Children should begin their formal schooling at an early ageChildren Should Begin Their Formal Schooling at an Early AgePeople have different views on what children should do at a very early age. Some think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play. Both views are based on respective ground.Those who argue for the playing time for children suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young children can hardly concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer than 15 minutes or so. But we can arrange classes for sh orter periods, can’t we? And we can shift teaching subjects. Through putting them to study, young children are occupied with learning but not with playing.Those who argue for children’s early commencement for formal education believe that being put to studies, children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develop children’s mental abilities like the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and the ability to do simple calculation. Children’s habit of studying and love for learning are of great importance to youngsters because these two things set up the sound foundation for their future studies.Having children start formal education at a very early age benefits young children much more than simply letting them play most of their time. A good habits needs a long time to develop to become a second nature. More importantly, it is better to develop a good habit before a bad one may grow. Similarly, the love for learning should take toots for before the love for playing is established.Should A Person Make An Important Decision Alone?A person should never make an important decision alone, important decisions should be well thought out. People who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different perspective, or share their own experience.When I had difficulty deciding which classes to take in collage, I talked to my teachers and advisors, they had the knowledge and expertise to help me determine which classes were the best ones to take for my future career. Without their advice, I might have chosen unsuitable courses.In collage, I had convinced myself that I was not good enough to act in the school play. Therefore, I decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion. The day of the audition, a friend of mine asked me why I was not auditioning. When I told her I did not feel I was good enough, she was shocked, she was able to provide me with another perspective on myself and my talents. I rethoug ht my decision and tried out….and got a lead in the play.Last year when I was trying to decide whether or not I should study overseas, I talked to my friend. This was the best thing I could have done. This was a big decision for me because I had never been overseas on my own and I was not sure if I could do it. She had studied overseas the precious year. She told me about the challenges and opportunities I might encounter and helped me make the right decision. I went and it was amazing.Whenever I am faced with an important decision, I seek advice from others so that I am well-informed and have the benefit of their perspective and experienceMy Opinion on AdvertisementAdvertisements appear everywhere in modern society. There are many way to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers and billboards carry advertisements; some products are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience. Advertising is a big industry and many agencies are set up for furnish a variety of services for it.However, advertising is not welcome sometimes. A most irritating thing is to watch advertisements before and during films on TV. There are so many of them that they make you forget what you are sitting there for. The ironical thing is that advertisements of one type of things are often shown one after another so that you are confused as to which product you should choose. What’s more, advertising is not always truthful. The advertisers exaggerate the benefits of the merchandise they want to sell in order to gain more profits. Thus the consumer falls victim to such advertising.Although there are disadvantages of ads, we can not forget the advantages and the conveniences they bring to us. First, by telling us where something is available, they may save us money and time. They guide us in finding suitable jobs and other information as well. Secondly, a wide range of activities and institutions receive financial support through advertising. Without this support we would have to pay much more for newspapers and sports games. Thirdly, perfect advertisements even provide entertainment. A considerable amount of effort goes into their production. So in most cases the photography is truly artistic, the slogans are genuinely witty,and the situations are decidedly funny.Generally speaking, advertisements have become one of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today. Let us make our life easier by learning to choose proper ads, and be the master of advertisements, not their salve.：At the beginning of the new millennium, there are wider social concerns about increasingly conspicuous splits in society between those who are computer literate, employable and well paid, and those who are not, -----Such split is termed "Digital Divide". What do you think is ONE of the major problems that may result from this trend? Write an essay of about 400 words on the topic given below:A Major Problem Resulted From Digital Divide(数字鸿沟，数码鸿沟)In recent years, although the majority of all countries especially the post-industrial societies, have achieved preeminent(卓越的) progress thanks to the widespread of personal computer and Internet, this trend also resulted in large groups of poor, underprivileged(被剥夺基本权力的,穷困的,下层社会的) and disadvantaged(贫穷的,处于不利地位的) people who lack in computer skills. Such groups have limited access to the information age and are identified below the Digital Divide. These people find it difficult to find a decent job, and many of them are likely to turn to drugs and crimes. In a word, this tendency has created many social problems, namely unemployment, cime, drug abuse, disparity(不一致, 不同, 不等) between the rich and the poor, and so on. I think the most important element among them is crime.The Digital Divide functions on two levels, namely the domestic level and the international level. On the domestic level, when it comes to other negative effects accompanied by the emergence of Digital Divide such as unemployment and drug abuse, some people may adopt an inappropriate perspective that they are not affected by these problems and show no interest in solving them. Regardless of the political correctness of such opinions, the devastating effects of crimes closely associate with all those in the society and allow of no neglect. If we don't put this issue under scrutiny, our lives and properties will naturally suffer great loss as a result and this issue virtually serves the function of a trigger of dissatisfaction among the people. Furthermore, since the computer skills are necessary in our routine jobs, those computer illiterate will be disappointed to find they are not qualified to have an upper hand in the job market. They have no choice but to commit crimes as a means of earning their bread as well as revenging(报仇, 复仇,替...报仇, 复仇)on the society.On the international level, people in underdeveloped countries will lament that their situation is worse than before since the advent of the personal computer and Internet, whose original purpose is , ironically, to provide convenience as well as efficiency to all human beings instead of causing social and economical gaps between rich and poor countries. To make it worse, radicals from some underdeveloped countries will attribute their plight to the exploitation and oppression inflicted by developed countries aided by advanced technology. Consequently, they are entitled to take an extreme form of crime, namely terrorist attacks launched against Western contries, as they deserve the punishment.If the digital technology continues to develop at the expense of those beneath the Digital Divide and the underdeveloped countries do not take an active approach to the problems, even well educated computer literates in developed countries will not enjoy their lives devoid of a sense of security. To eliminate all crimes caused by the Digital Divide, all governments should provide the underclass with educational and financial provision, which in turn generates possible job opportunities. Meanwhile, developed countries should provideunconditional economic, financial, technological aids for poor countries to help them build infrastructure and purchase equipment so that they can take advantage of current technology.Should Household Chores Be Required as Part of the Daily Routine of SchoolChildren?Some people think that household chores家务杂事should be required part of the daily routine of school children. Other people believe that young children should spend more time on their academic studies. Which viewpoint do you agree to? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:Should Household Chores Be Required as part of the Daily Routine of School Children?Some parents prefer to do all the household chores by themselves for fear that the daily job will infringe on their children's valuable time on learning. In fact, it is advisable to provide household chores as a daily responsibility to young children.Since great progress has been made recently in terms of(根据, 按照, 用...的话, 在...方面) living conditions thanks to the material prosperity in our country, school children generally enjoy a more comfortable life under cozy(舒适的, 安逸的, 惬意的) circumstances and have greater chance to receive first-rate education. On the other hand, however, some of them are spoiled and unwilling to take on their own responsibility. With the introduction of home economics(家政学), young students will respect physical labor and develop their work ethic, which may contribute tremendously to the development of their characters. With numerous shackles(桎梏) and obstacles waiting for them in the long journey of life, the students should become aware of the urgent need to practice chores as an essential form of tempering(回火) their willpower. When they take up the chores industriously(勤勉的, 刻苦的) on the own with parents' guidance instead of interference, they will gradually acquire such qualities as diligence, perseverance, and patience.Another reason why I preach the importance of household economics for children lies in the fact that it is a convenient method to learn useful skills after class. During the course of cooking, house cleaning, baby-sitting, fence repairing, car washing, grass mowing, and wall painting, the young children may obtain certain techniques and then use their imagination to foster a sense of creativity and achievement, which combine to pave the way for their future career.The last but not least factor is economic. If their children dawdle（偷懒，闲逛）over the work or even refuse to fulfill their obligations, an incentive payment is a good proposal to encourage them to earn them own pocket money. The truth is that the children will find themselves overtaken（突然降临，压倒）with joy upon receiving their deserved salary, which in turn helps them realize the virtue of self-reliance(自恃, 倚靠自己) and self-struggle.Some people may concern that the housework will occupy a large amount of their children's time, which will bring about terrible school reports, cause physical and mental fatigue, or even result in unpredictable negative effects. Obviously, appropriate amount of chores in children's leisure time is the last one to threaten their academic achievements and health because of advantages such as relaxation, stress relieving, and weight maintenance.If parent entrust(委托) appropriate housework to their children with necessary guidance, they will be amazed at these young people's abilities to tackle a good many problems, which help to cultivate（培养，栽培）a sense of responsibility and pride. As an effective complementary form of school education in modern society, it should no doubt become a productive part of school children's life.University Education is Essential to One's success It is said that nowadays one cannot acquire the qualifications and qualities essential to success through university education or study in some institutions of similar nature. You are going to argue for or against it and support your view with details.University Education is Essential to One's successIt is not an uncommon phenomenon that many people become successful without a formal college education, some typical examples of which are Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft; Li Jiacheng, a Hong Kong billionaire and Hua Luogeng, a world-class mathematician. This leads some people to believe that a person can achieve great success without a formal education and that the qualifications a successful person needs cannot be acquired through the study in university or other institutions of similar nature. It cannot be denied that there do exist such examples in every country; however, I can hardly share the above point of view for several reasons In the first place, a college or university is a specialized institution of higher learning where people can receive systematic and scientific training in a certain field, which paves the way for(为...铺平道路) their future career. With the advent of the era of knowledge-based economy, a man without a sound academic background can hardly accomplish anything. Only in universities and other institutions of higher learning can he/she master the professional knowledge and relevant skills essential to his/her career.Secondly, it is wise to learn at another man's cost. We can benifit much from the invaluable experience and knowledge handed down from our ancestors and draw a lesson from the failure of our predecessors so as to avoid detour.Thirdly, when in university, one also has to learn to communicate and cooperate with teachers and fellow students, during which one cultivates friendship and acquires the interpersonal skills, both of which are conductive to one's future career and success. University is said to be a miniature society.Last of all, there are innumerable successful people who attribute their achievements to a formal university education. It is no wonder that so many parents spare no efforts to send their children to colleges and universities.From what I have mentioned above, it is obvious that we can acquire the qualifications and qualities essential to our future career and success through university education. The systematic knowledge and solid academic foundation will make it easy for us to understand and absorb new-developed theories based on previous research efforts; with the social skills we acquire in such a miniature society as university, we will not have to waste much time learning how to handle human relationship. Compared with those without formal university education, university graduates have already gained an upper hand(优势,上风,有利地位) at the very beginning of building their own career.Travel Helps Promote Communication Between CountriesTourism has already become a multibillion-dollar industry that supports economic development. You are going to write an article entitled: Travel Helps Promote Communication Between CountriesTravel Helps Promote Communication between CountriesWith 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 disadventages. 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 naturel 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.In recent years, some people raise doubts about the practice of co-education. They think it is not a good idea for the overall development of our younger generation. They think all-boy or all-girl schools may be a better choice. You are going to write a composition on the following topic :Co-education or Single-sex SchoolsCo-education or Single-sex SchoolsNowadays, we can often hear people complain that it is much more difficult to teach students of today. They create a lot of problems, which make adults very worried. Some people even raise doubts about the practice of co-education男女同校. They think that the problem may lie in our educational system. A girl school or a boy school may be a better choice. There are also people who firmly advocate提倡, 鼓吹the practice of co-education. As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of赞同, 有利于the latter opinion.Co-education has a number of advantages. Above everything else, as we all know, the adult world is made up of male and female, so should the school be. Co-education helps one better know his/her social role so that one can easily adapt himself/herselp to the outside world. Secondly, co-education offers a good chance for male and female students to better understand one another, thus removing illusions and wrong impression of the opposite sex. The fact is that the more they are segregated from the opposite sex异性, the more curious they become about the opposite sex. Thirdly, co-education helps refrain students from忍住, 制止indecent下流的, 猥亵的, <口>不象样的, 不妥当的behaviors because of the presence of the opposite sex. According to an investigation conducted by some psychologists, students, both male and female, will pay more attention to their own speech and action with the opposite sex. They will be well-behaved行为端正的, 彬彬有礼的and well-adjusted.On the other hand, those who are against co-education have their own reasons. First of all, they maintain that there is a possibility of puppy love 早年初恋. Some teenagers are precocious早熟的and they easily fall in love. Second, female students may suffer from discrimination and inequality. Thirdly, the co-education system cannot cater to the individual needs of students of both sexes. While in segregated schools, boys and girls can fully develop themselves to their own interest and abilities. In boy schools, boys can enjoy many courses specially designed for them while it is the same with girls in girl schools.When advantages and disadvantages are put together, we can see that the advantages of co-education far outweigh its disadvantages. What we should do is to change our methods of teaching children when time changes so that we can keep up with the trend and let our children develop in a healthy way.。

英语专业八级作文优秀欣赏篇1The mindset of sacrifice is seen as an important part of the Chinese nation’s traditional virtues. Chinese often regard those as heroes who volunteer to offer assistance in times of crisis. Even children and youngsters in primary and middle schools are taught to learn from this kind of heroes and do something alike when confronting a similar circumstance. However, I hold an opposite view on this issue.Firstly, the new concepts of self-protection will not challenge or weaken the traditional Chinese virtue of justice and courage. On the contrary, it will be carried toward In a scientific and rational way. For instance, if primary students see a robbery on their way to school, they are advised to remember the traits of suspects and report the case to school and public security authorities. For high school students, they should report it first, and at the same time take some adequate actions to fight against criminals on the premise of fully guaranteeing their own safety. That is a positive and flexible measure to strengthen the self-protection awareness of students under the age of 18 for whom safety should be the first consideration. Given their physical strength and relevant training, it is not wise for them to stand upfor justice at the risk of endangering their own lives.Furthermore, full respect for one’s lives represents social progress. In the past, the government stressed that all efforts should be made to protect public interests regardless of the cost, but today prior ity is given to individual’s personal safety. And the new concepts actually require adults and teachers to enhance students’ awareness of safety and teach them the value of life. When they know they can not bring the suspect into control, they are advised to seek help instead of acting boldly and bluntly. Certainly we do not want our youngsters to become cowards, but we do want them to be wise.An old saying goes that a wise man cuts the coat according to the cloth he has. We should emphasize that acts are to be taken in conformity with one’s specific circumstance. And youngsters are not advised to take the challenge and risk beyond their limitation, for they represent the future of our nation.英语专业八级作文优秀欣赏篇2With the development of globalization, there are an increasing number of scholars these days who hold the opinion that we need a common language to be spoken by all the people in the world. However, other scholars are afraid that this will weaken other languages and cultures at the same time. As for me, I am not in favor of the viewpoint that one language should replace others as the universal one.Nowadays it is universally acknowledged that language is not only a tool of communication but also a kind of art. Each language, no matter what kind of language it is, has its unique pronunciation, grammar and expressions, which contribute to the diversity of the world. Therefore, if the diverse languages are diminished, our world will become less colorful.We can say that language is part of culture, and plays a considerably important role in culture. Indeed, some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, so the argument goes, culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture; it reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their ways of living and thinking. Cultures differ from one another, and each culture is unique. There is no denying that it will be a disaster for us to see the world's diverse cultures disappear one by one.When all the factors are examined, we may safely come to the conclusion that although we are convinced that, no matter what our career choice is, a command of foreign languages is an important skill to acquire, yet we should protect our own language, the carrier of our culture.英语专业八级作文优秀欣赏篇3Faced with the question whether it is worthwhile to spend a year or two voluntee ？？ring in western China， many college students would probably shake their heads， seeing it as a waste of valuable learning time. However，I will give an affirmative answer without hesitation，because this experience can apparently benefit us in many ways.First， it is a great opportunity for us to apply the knowledge we have acquired at college. Different from temporary part-time jobs， a longer volunteer work experience is truly fulfilling and rewarding. As English majors， we can learn to use and teach the language effectively in real classes; as education majors， we can experiment with those textbook theories in helping manage aschool or instruct the younger; those who study engineering can take this chance to turn their ideas and skills into running machines， new bridges and broad roads. From this experience，we will better understand our schoolwork and even build up considerable expertise in our chosen fields.Second， we can gain a great sense of satisfaction by making contributions in an underdeveloped region. Right now，the western China is suffering from both the short ？？age of resources and that of talents in its course of development. If we can step into the needed roles by simply sacrificing a year or two，we will be able to make some differ？？ence to the situation as a whole. Imagine how proud you will be when telling your fami？？ly and friends how you have taught the illiterate to read， and how you have helped to change the look of a backward town. Compared with the great sense of pride you feel， a year‘s time is just a small price to pay.Third，we can establish a deep friendship with local people. On the one hand， if you truly love and help the people you work with， they naturally love and help you back. Take a senior I know for example，who served two months as a teacher in a dry northwestern town. During the period of water shortage， both his students and their parents voluntarily kept water for him，sometimes despite their own need. Recalling his days there， he said they were not easy but he could not help missing them. Probably many volunteers would feel the same as him. While we are giving care，support and help，we often get back more including a lasting friendship.Therefore，I will readily sign up to volunteer in the western China despite various challenges I may meet. Think of the differences we can make there and the changes this experiencecan make to us， why not walk out of the ivory tower and step onto the promising land of our country？英语专业八级作文优秀欣赏篇4Help my mom with the the housework Last Sunday ,I helped my mom do the housework .

Some insiders hold that following global trends is the only way to develop China’s film industry. Others insist, however, that the Oscars are simply one the many awards that Americans like to crown themselves. Domestic films should maintain their distinct flavors. As a movie fan myself, I think we should strive for it to gain international recognition.Firstly, the Oscars Award is an international recognition in terms of both artistic performance and box office revenue. Withlive broadcast in 50 languages, it plays a huge role in shaping the global film industry. It is no wonder that so many people around the world pay much attention to it. The reality is that Hollywood movies account for more than 90 percent of global market shares-this has inevitable worldwide impact. Obviously, the Oscars Award has bee something that we can not afford to ignore it.Moreover, we live in a global, multicultural world where different cultures interact. China’s movie industry needs to realize it and sharpen its petitive edge. If Chinese films are to make a global impact, then movie production, distribution and marketing organization need improving. Chinese films should adjust to satisfy the variety of social demands. The introduction of foreign successful formulas and technology is a must for Chinese film industry. It is parochial to think that China can only use its national characteristics to define domestic movies. Conservatism will hinder the progress of film industry. If China does not develop its film industry through embracing innovative multiculturalism, Chinese movies will have little opportunity to gain a share in the international market.Last but not least, the Hollywood films also conform to specific cultural demands. Take this year’s Academy Awards as an example, nominated movies include both high-cost productions like The Lord of the Rings and subtle, more moderate budgeted projects like Lost in Translation, these films suggest that Hollywood movies maintain a basic balance in keeping the style of its own and absorbing diverse cultures. Hence, the Chinese filmmakers should spare no efforts to present original domestic films to foreign viewers. We will be left behind if we stick to the so-called orthodox. For instance, Couching TigerHidden Dragon was acted by Chinese actors and through cultural icons, but actually its style and structure of the movie all conform to a Hollywood formula. This partly explains why it appeals to a wider range of audiences from different cultural background.In a word, the Oscars are very important to Chinese filmmakers. Nominations are a kind of approval by international peers of their achievements. As China’s market improves, its movie industry will get stronger and will eventually cash in on the Oscars.英语专业八级作文优秀欣赏篇6As economic globalization accelerates, language plays a vital role in cross-boundary communication. An international language like English is inevitably popular among language learners all over the world. And there is a widespread concern whether or not to go abroad for one's English study. To me the answer is undoubtedly a yes, since it provides a chance not only to learn the language, but also to understand the culture.First of all, going to an English-speaking country is a better way to create an ideal language-learning environment. As it is said, when in Rome, do as Romans do. Thus it can be inferred that a better way to learn how Romans behave is to go to Rome and observe their way of life. It is also true with English study. In an English-speaking country, one is likely to be exposed to more chances to communicate with native speakers rather than being confined to book knowledge only. On his stay in London, a student will have a taste of royal English himself, thus it is easier for him to improve his pronunciation and intonation through imitation. Surrounded by native speakers, a language learner will also find it very helpful in improving other skills like speaking, reading and writing.Moreover, a student going abroad not only enhances their language proficiency but also comes into direct interplay with a new culture, which is an integral part of language study. Some linguists maintain that one cannot fully grasp a language unless he knows about the culture profoundly, for language is only a medium to conduct communication. Thus living with English-speaking people, one can obtain a vivid first-hand understanding of some idioms, slang and the cultural background And this personal experience will be very difficult to achieve-whatever abundant study resources can be accessed to domestically. By chatting with native speakers in daily life, students can gain an insight in the culture.Judging from all the analysis above, we may safely come to such a conclusion that going to an English-speaking country is advantageous for English learners. A study experience abroad is such a practice to double the achievements with half the efforts. Fully utilizing the chance to get a deeper involvement in the exotic culture, students may become real masters of English.。

Language enables us to build stronger communities, fostering cooperation and empathy among individuals.Cultural Transmission:Language is a repository of cultural knowledge and values. It conveys traditions, beliefs, and customs across generations. Through written and spoken language, cultural heritage is preserved and passed down, shaping the identity and cohesion of societies. It acts as a bridge between the past and the present, connecting individuals to their cultural roots.Economic Development:In the globalized world, language proficiency has become increasingly important for economic prosperity. Proficiency in multiple languages expands opportunities for business, trade, and collaboration. It facilitates communication across borders, enabling cross-cultural understanding and fostering economic growth.Specific Examples:The development of scientific and technological advancements relies heavily on language as a means of recording, sharing, and building upon knowledge.International diplomacy and cooperation require skilled interpreters and translators to facilitate effective communication and bridge linguistic barriers.The preservation of endangered languages is crucial for protecting cultural diversity and ensuring the survival ofunique perspectives.Conclusion:Language is an essential aspect of human existence, deeply intertwined with our cognitive, social, cultural,and economic well-being.

Some think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play. Both views are based on respective ground.Those who argue for the playing time for childern suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young childern can hardly concentrate.

Be optimistic to accept new Recently newspapers have reported that officials in a little-known mountainous area near Guiyang,Guizhou Province wanted to turn the area into a ＂central business district＂for Guiyang and invited a foreign design company to give it an entirely new look. The design company camp up with a blueprint for unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. This triggered off different responses. Some appreciated the bold innovation of the design, but others held that it failed to reflect regional characteristics or local cultural heritage. As far as I am concerned, I support the idea to give it an entirely new look.I agrees with the design company. They came up with a blueprint for unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. We should be optimistic to accept new idea and new look.Some people think that an unconventional, super-futuristic building fails to reflect regional characteristics or local cultural heritage. Those people hold the old idea and they keep traditional concept about buildings. They think modern buildings will destroy the traditional beauty.However, why building becomes an old exist and people treasure it. That is because they are the new building in its own time and they left until today. They are gorgeous buildings in old time but must be a new look out of people’s expectation at that time. Time flies and technology develops, nothing canstay forever. We should catch up with the time and make changes for society.Unconventional, super-futuristic buildings are the wonderful ideas which come from designer. They think over and over again about how it will be compatible with the local environment and the district. They are professional and imaginative. A new look can change a city. It can make the city more fashionable and become a modern symbol. People all around the nation will have a desire to have a look at the new design. We love Beijing Hutong but we admire Bird Nest most. Bird Nest surprises our eyes and it is really dreamy. We can see that Bird Nest brings up more and more visitor all over the world. They just have a look at the new modern design and pay every effort across sea and mountain. Let’s think about Shanxi Province and Shanghai.One is a traditional province and one is a modern city.
