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.

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.
2019年英语专业八级考试作文范文：Migrant Workers
2019年英语专业八级考试作文范文：Migrant Workers The Role of Migrant Workers Migrant workers have made a great contribution to the prosperity of cities. They leave their home-land for better chances. Some want to change their destiny, some want to make a fortune. Whatever the purposes they cherished when millions of them streamed into big cities, they have promoted the development of cities. Most of the migrant workers are hard working and unafraid of hardships. They take up the dirtiest, the most strenuous or dangerous jobs which city laborers are unwilling to do. With lots of building they have set up and streets they have kept clean, they have helped modernize and beautify cities. Not only have they become the main work force in the construction sector, they also have helped liberate city women from heavy housework chores by taking care of the babies, cleaning houses or providing any other services citizens need. Although some of the citizens complain about the increasing number of the problems such as theft, robbery a few of migrant workers have committed, most of the citizens agree that their contribution is obvious, and with better management, their role in the construction of cities will definitely be greater.
英语专八写作技巧
英语专八写作技巧 (1)审题 在写作考试中要写出符合题目要求。高质量的作文，第一步是审题。所谓审题，就是通过阅读写作题目及相关信息或要求，准确领会 题目的含义，了解题目要求，为构思合乎具体写作要求的文章思路及 框架打下基础。数年来TEM-8写作项目已形成自身的特色。这个特色 就是，该项目内的几个部分（观点、情景、标题、写作要求）具有内 在的联系，从而构成一个整体。所以，审题就意味着不是仅仅浏览一 个标题，而是要兼顾其他部分。只有这样，学生才能真正明确写作目的，领会写作要求。 以TEM-8—1997的写作项目为例。该年的标题是 SOWING THE SEEDS，NURTURING GROWTH AND HEARVESTING THE REWARDS。如果我们 孤立地看题目的话，就很难领会该篇作文的具体要求和目的。但是， 一旦我们把标题与前面的情景与观点部分联系起来，这个标题的含义 就变得清晰：它要求学生用标题所含的耕作过程来比拟获得大学学业 成就的过程。同时，对具体语篇模式的要求（即ANALOGY）也显示在这部分中间。至于对作文修辞框架的要求，则出现在标题下面的一段文 字中。总来说之，提升审题的准确性有利于学生理解题目含义，了解 写作要求，进而有针对性地构思作文内容、布局等。不过，在历年写 作阅卷中我们发现，审题有误仍是学生经常犯的错误之一。 归纳起来有以下几点： 1）不熟悉TEM-8写作的设计特点，以为只看标题即可着手写作。这常常导致在文章内容上出现严重偏差。 2）对情景观点部分的理解一知半解，未经仔细斟酌就提笔写作文。这往往会造成学生采用错误的语篇模式。 3）忽略写作项目中对作文修辞框架的提示。这容易使得作文思路 或结构混乱或失衡。?

专八作文范文 02: The Most Important Quality of a University Student Many people regard university as job-training centre which would help us get a better job. However in my view, the four years in university are also supposed to be character building period during which we can develop some important personal qualities that are necessary for success in the present-day society. Among them, passion in learning may be the most important. To begin with, a mobile society has a demand for those who can easily adapt to the latest development. As the world we live in is a fast-charging one, we constantly need to update our knowledge and skills. while many people grit their teeth to cram their minds with new stuff, whose who have developed a genuine passion in learning during their college years may make a virtue of necessity, deriving much pleasure from learning what is required by the latest developments in their fields. Moreover, passion in learning may also help to ward off the feeling of futility and emptiness, a typically modern disease caused by complicated reasons such as huge pressure and fierce competition in modern society. As human beings, we need more than material comforts to assert the value of our life. In China, where the belief in god is largely absent, a life-long pursuit for knowledge may be a god substitute for religion, for those devoted to learning will be better aware of the significance of their life by seeing themselves as those who pass on the torch of knowledge. In this way, learning may serve to head off psychological crises. In conclusion, one’s passion in learning bring benefit to individuals in a variety of ways, hence it is the most important quality of a university student. 03：Love, and Then Be Loved In recent years, more and more teachers complain that their students are indifferent to others. Some even worry that the young generation might ruin the future of China. To be sure, many of our young people

2009：Are dialects just as acceptable in public places? 范文一 China’s State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) recently issued a notice banning domestic radio and TV stations from translating foreign radio and TV programmes into any local dialect. The notice said that such dialect translation contradicts the national initiative to promote Putonghua, or Mandarin, around the country. Foreign programmes that have been translated into dialects must be removed from television and radio immediately. The notice evoked a mixed response from experts and audio and video producers, as well as the general public. Many voiced their concerns that local dialects would be fornidden in public places. Mandarian, which means "common language", is the country’s predominant language and is widely used by more than 70 percent of the population. However, local dialects still enjoy popularity for relatively less-educated people in some occasions. The dialects do make unique role and should be tolerated for existence in public places. Though promoted widely in public places, dialects are acceptable in public places. First, it is more than a mere tool for communication. It is, most importantly, the messenger of its respective culture. If the dialect was eliminated from daily use, the culture will be broken. Second, Mandarian can absorb the elite part of local dialect to enrich its vocabulary and usage. This is the perfection of Mandartian from thousands of years blend and contact. The dialects can also be popular in the public. Along with the famous short play by comic actors in NE China, the local dialect came into the spotlight, and enjoyed more popularity throughout China. Such a cultural phenomenon represents the audience an attitude to local dialects which cater to the taste of the majority. Third, dialect is the only mean of communication to some undereducated local people. If local dialects are forbidden in the public places, they can not communicate. To sum up, local dialects should be tolerated in public places for its unique role which Mandarian can not substitute. We should guartee its survival because dialects stand for our spiritual land. From a long-term perspective, dialects should not and would not be wiped out. There is no need for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects. Just let dialects take their natural course. The best way to protect a dialect is to use it in daily life and pass it down from generation to generation. 08：What I Have Learned From My Years at University The development of an individual human existence can be divided into several important stages. But no period can be more influential upon the later course of our life than the years we have experienced in college. Here is the cradle of intelligentsia with vision, mission and passion. And now, as I am ready to leave campus and face the real world, I dare say that no other place can teach me more. I am very proud that in university I have learnt how important it is for one to have vision, that ability to see ahead of time and possibly others. College has raised me up, so that I could enjoy a broader view of the world. University Library, the sanctuary of mind always keeps me in a close touch with the great thoughts of giants, Shakespeare, Russell, Churchill, Roosevelt, to name only a
