ys we are producing more and more
rubbish. Why do you think this is
happening?
What can governments do to help reduce the amount
of rubbish
produced? （问题分析型）
I think it is
true that in almost every country today each
household and family produces a
large amount
of waste every week. Most of this rubbish comes
from the packaging from
the things we buy,
such as processed food. But even if we buy fresh
food without
packaging, we still produce
rubbish from the plastic bags used everywhere to
carry
shopping home.
The reason why we
have so much packaging is that we consume so much
more on a daily
basis than families did in the
past. Convenience is also very important in modern
life, so
we buy packaged or canned food that
can be transported from long distances and stored
until we need it, first in the supermarket,
and then at home.
However, the amount of waste
produced is also a result of our tendency to use
something
once and throw it away. We forget
that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up
valuable resources and energy to produce. We
also forget that it is a source of pollution
and difficult to dispose of.
I think,
therefore, that governments need to raise this
awareness in the general public.
Children can
be educated about environmental issues at school,
but adults need to take
action. Governments
can encourage such action by putting taxes on
packaging, such as
plastic bags, by providing
recycling services and by fining households and
shops that do
not attempt to recycle their
waste.
With the political will, such measures
could really reduce the amount of rubbish we
produce. Certainly nobody wants to see our
resources used up and our planet poisoned
by
waste.
2.题目：Some people think that personal
happiness is directly related to
economic
success. Others argue that happiness depends on
completely
other factors. Discuss both of the
views and give your own opinion.
（ Discuss 型）
In recent years, the discussion of
whether personal happiness is directly
associated to economic success has become a
controversial issue. Notions
toward it differ
widely from person to person.
Some people
believe that happiness is related to economic
success because
only money can make people’s
life more enjoyable. When it comes to
economic
success, the majority of people believe that money
means a
luxurious life. To begin with, if
someone owns great success on economic, that
means he can spend more money on whatever he
likes and spend more time
on his hobbies.
Emotionally, money can buy happiness at least to
some extent.
That is to say, you can buy
things that you like in order to fulfill your
needs and
vanities and this makes you feel
happier. You can also enjoy the best
education
and social welfare. Thirdly, economic success
implies high social
class and status, which
can make people feel happy and respectable.
()
Opponents, however, hold the view that
happiness does not depend on
economic success
but completely other factors. First of all,
numerous studies
show that happy individuals
are successful across multiple life domains,
including marriage, income, work performance
and health. The happiness
exists not only
because economic success makes people happy, but
also
because positive affect engenders
happiness. What’s more, It is indisputable
that there are millions of people who still
have a miserable life and have to fact
the
dangers of starvation and exposure, but some of
them sill lead a happy life
because they keep
the happy spirit. Last but not least, money can
not buy
everything, such as friendship, true
love and health. You can buy things
corporeal,
but you can never spend money to ask for more
time.
In the final analysis, both sides have
sound foundations. However, if asked to
make a
choice, I will not hesitate to assent to the
latter. I firmly believe that
happiness is not
only related to economic success but also links to
other
factors which are much more significant.
3 Since cities have changed a lot, the size
of the cities has grown enormously. Discuss
the causes and consequence of the
enormous size of cities.
Nowadays, the maps of
cities are updated frequently. With the
development of city, more and
more suburbs
become parts of the city. When the cities in the
world are amplifying constantly,
people
discuss the topic hotly, the causes and
consequence of the enormous cities. Different
people have different answers by their
respective views.
In my opinion, the
evolution of society and the development of
economy result in the growth of
the vast size
of cities. Since the number of population in every
city is increasing continually,
people need a
large amount of space to live in. With the
progress of the technology, the output
of
crops rises sharply. Fewer and fewer farmers are
required, as a result, more and more
villages
urbanize. The growth of the cities brings us many
huge changes.
There are more job opportunities
in the cities. For instance, China will hold the
Olympic Games
in Beijing in 2008. The
government is amplifying the size of Beijing to
build new gyms in order to
hold it
excellently. Obviously, people in the cities could
gain a lot of new jobs.
Of course, the
enormous size of cities also has bad effects.
Pollution is becoming more and
more serious
all over the world with the amplification of the
cities. For example, the poisonous
gas sent
off by factories and automobiles has made the air
unhealthy for people to breathe.
Water waste
keeps pouring into rivers and lakes; as a result,
many water species are dying out.
Furthermore,
more people the city have, more rubbish we can
find.
In a word, since each coin has two
sides, we should be acquainted clearly with the
reasons why
the size of the cities has grown
enormously and what it will bring us. Thus, we
could make full
use of the positive effects
and overcome the negative effects.
4. Companies should encourage old employees
(55 years old) to retire, in order to
give
opportunities to the new generation. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays,
plenty of employees who are more than 55 years old
must retire because of
company policy;
therefore, many people think that the development
of a company cannot
be separated
from the number of young employees. The above
point is certainly true; this
essay will
outline three reasons.
The main reason is
that plenty of young employees mean that the
company is infused with
lots of young blood.
With the development of technology, more and more
new
technological products have been
developed. The new generation masters advanced
technology and have the energy to exploit.
They have learned lots of knowledge in the
university; therefore it is definitely useful
for the development of companies.
Another
reason is that old employees cannot adapt
themselves to the rapid pace. Old
employees
find it difficult to learn new things rapidly.
With their limited physical strength,
they are
not capable of heavy manual work. So old employees
are not a patch on young
employees, it means
not only intellect but also physical strength.
Last but not the least reason is that old
employees have already worked for more than half
of their lifetime, so they should retire to
enjoy life. The old employees have already paid
out too much in order to look after their
families and careers. So they should pursue their
hobbies.
In conclusion, old employees
shouldn’t continue working for themselves.
Moreover,
advancement of society needs a new
generation.
5. In recent years, more and more
advertisements have been flooding into our lives.
Some advertisements exert negative effects on
the youth. Therefore some people
suggest that
advertisements be banned. To what extent do you
think the
disadvantages outweigh its
advantages? Give your reasons.(利弊型)
Along
with the rapid progress of society, the
advertising industry has undergone
remarkable
development. Every day we are surrounded by all
kinds of ads and
commercials, which have a
profound influence on our daily lives. As a
result, there arises
a fierce debate
concerning the proposal that we should ban all
kinds of advertisements.
On one hand, some
people are in favor of the idea that advertisement
should not be
banned; instead it should be
further developed. They are of the opinion that
advertisement
is a good channel which helps
promote the exchanges of information. In an era of
information, everyone can benefit a lot from
the advertisements, not only the
manufacturers but the customers. Moreover, the
advertisement enables people to catch
up with
the amazing advance in all fields. From the
mushrooming advertisements, people
get to know
some newest products and the trend of consumption.
Thirdly, advertising, to
some extent, is not
only an industry but an art. Many advertisements
are elaborate works
of art full of ingenuity
and originality, which render great spiritual
pleasure to the viewers
and add to the
picturesque cityscape. In a word, the
advertisement is a blessing for
modern people.
Despite the benefits advertisement has brought
us, many people strongly condemn it,
saying
that they have been fed up with all kinds of
rubbish ads. They call for a
comprehensive ban
on the advertisement based on the following
reasons. First of all, a
majority of
advertisements are fictitious and misleading,
causing confusion in people’s
daily life and
even leading to the injury and death of some
customers. Secondly, they
bring many
inconveniences and troubles to us. For example,
are you pleased with a
mailbox stuffed with
unwanted ads or a wonderful film on TV being
interrupted frequently?
Furthermore, the non-
standard use of language in advertisement brings
about irreparable
damage to the integrity and
purity of our language. Consequently, it will
exert a disastrous
impact on the literacy of
our younger generations. In some people’s eyes,
the
advertisement is just a Genie out of the
bottle.
To be frank, it is quite impossible
for people to reach an absolute consensus on most
controversial issues. To my mind, a total ban
on advertisement is not an ideal and
practical
choice. How can we imagine all advertisements
vanishing overnight? The
demerits should by no
means make us lose sight of the benefits
advertisements have
brought to us. A more
workable and rational attitude should be adopted;
that is, to
eliminate the false and retain the
true. Always bear in mind the old saying:“never
throw
away the baby with bath water.”
