【1】 With the increasing popularity of the Internet, someone says," The more friends you get on line, the fewer friends you will have around you." Write an essay (about 250 words) expressing your views on the statement.
立论写法: Recently, there has been heated discussion on the increasing popularity of the Internet. Some people emphasized that individuals are so indulged in Internet browse and surfing that they increasingly feel isolated from the reality. As someone says: “ the more friends one gets on line, the fewer he has around him.” The issue above is rather complex, for it involves a conflict between two divergent means of communication. The final judgment, I am afraid, rests upon a combination of three essential aspects.
To begin with, great changes have taken place in the scientific technology. As a result, Internet, the gem of the twentieth century, always provides people with the up-to-date information. With time goes by, it is natural that people, teenagers in particular, rely on computers for information rather than turning to their friends and relatives. What is more, the means of communication as a whole also undergoes certain dramatic transformation. Accordingly, the younger generation, with the aid of electric mailboxes, QQ or on-line chats, can successfully contact their parents or colleagues. Gradually, E-mails, the symbol of convenience, tends to replace such traditional means such as weekend dinners and celebrating parties Some observers might point out that the traditional means of communication will not fade away, and sooner or later people will be aware of their importance. Even so, the situation is not absolute, nor is it the most critical element. As a matter of fact, the distance between two locations, the time spent on transport vehicles as well as exhaustion from jobs will definitely compel people to choose more effective and convenient methods to keep contact with others.
To sum up, it is safe to conclude that along with the computer boom, a growing number of people will rely on Internet to communicate with others. However, while they are doing so, it is likely that they have fewer friends around them.
【2】 For most of us today, television is our main source of news. According to a questionnaire on the way of getting news ,nearly 72 percent of the people watch TV, and only 12 percent read newspapers for daily news. Although television news excels in bringing into our living room dramatic events of singular importance, space craft launchings, natural disasters, record-breaking sports events, presidential inaugurations, wars, murders and so on, it cannot cover important stories in the depth they may deserve because of its time limitations. Regardless of the complexity or significance of an event, it some how must be fitted into a prescribed number of minutes. On the other hand, while the newspaper cannot compete with television visually, for example, a war is often best communicated by pictures, not words, it may beat its rival with amore in-depth version of the event. Free of time restrictions imposed on television news, a newspaper can devote as much space to a story as it sees fit, and flesh it out with more vivid details.
Furthermore, television by nature is a passive medium, for it deprives viewers of the freedom of selection. Whether you like or dislike a particular piece of news, all you have to do is sit in front of the tube and let it happen and follow its space passively. But by reading newspapers, you can select the most interesting news, and skip what you think is irrelevant and dull; you can read in detail or briefly. Besides, watching television involves little mental activity. A constant diet of television journalism contributes to the rise in new illiteracy ,and the decline in general intellectual skills such as reading and writing. In contrast to television news, the print media encourage active involvement in what’s being reported. The readers have to make greater efforts than TV viewers to follow and absorb the stories. But they acquire more than information and news. Reading requires high level of mental involvement, which, in turn, improves our intellectual competence. When we consider television versus print journalism on the basis of format, coverage and nature, is there any question as to which is the better source of news?
【3】Some people claim that staying in a place all one' s life is good for one' s growth, while others disagree with the view, and they prefer changing the place. Write an article to express your point of view on this topic.
You should write no less than 250 words.
Do you prefer staying in a place all your life? There is a widespread concern over whether it' s a bad thing that people live in a place all their life. But it' s well known that one man' s meat is an-other man' s poison.
A majority of people think that staying in a place for a long time is a better choice. In their view there are two reasons contributing to this attitude as follows: in the first place, people who stay in one spot can develop a life-time friendship, and such a friend will give a hand without hesitation if trou-ble comes. In the second place, when people move to different places, they usually are under pressure from strangeness. A person may feel lost and tense in a place where streets, stores and schools are all different. As a say-ing goes: Fear always springs from ignorance.
People, however, differ in their opinions on this matter. Some people hold the idea that people shouldn' t live in one place through their lives. In their points of view, on the one hand, people who spend a lifetime in one lo-cation can be locked into a limited way of life. A real problem is that life lacks passion. On the other hand, those who move frequently have a variety of outlooks. There is a chance to appreciate different ways of life.
As far as I am concerned, I finally agree the view that people shouldn't stay in a place all their lives. It' s not only because people can broaden their vision in different places, but also because fear will disappear with time. There is no doubt that no courage, no gains.
【4】 For many university students there are two alternatives : one is to find a job, the other is to pursue further study. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to say which is better. Which choice is more suit- able for you?
You should write no less than 250 words.
Career or Degree? Every Graduate' s Decision After staying on campus for many years, some students become bored and can' t wait to get a job. They are eager to lead a life that is less stressful intellectually and less pressing economically. In their eyes, a job can provide them with opportunities to solve problems that will demand a combination of both academic knowledge and practical experience.
However, some students plan to continue their education in pursuing further degree. As far as academic preparation is concerned, the knowledge and skills acquired at an undergraduate level are far from adequate in the job market. It is a fact that an ever-increasing number of graduates are returning to school, motivated by the need to update their knowledge and enhance their skills. The news that graduates with higher degrees are better off is a direct result of the shrinking job market.
All this indicates that a bachelor' s degree can hardly qualify students for a competitive position. If I were able to choose for myself, I would pre-fer to stay and pursue an M. A. degree. I know my choice would mean a commitment of time and money. Opportunities, however, always co-exist with hardships and risks. The days might be rigorous and painstaking, but they would certainly be fulfilling and rewarding, and would surely lead to a prosperous future.
【5】 It is often said that the subjects taught in schools are too academic in orientation and that it would be more useful for children to learn about practical matters such as home management，work and interpersonal skills.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
You should write no less than 250 words. One possible version：
A criticism often heard these days is that’the subjects taught in schools tend to be too academic，and contribute little to preparing a young person for the real.1ife tasks he or she will have to perform after graduation.They say that academic subjects are rooted in the past，and are not useful for solving modem problems.I disagree with this point of view for three reasons.
My first reason is that it is the duty of parents，not teachers，to prepare their children to deal with the practical affairs of life.The home.not the classroom.is the ideal place to learn about home management and interpersonal skills.As for work abilities and attitudes，they are best learned“on the job”and under the supervision of an experienced older worker.
My second reason is that academic subjects have withstood the test of time.They represent the accumulated wisdom of our ancestors down through the ages，and far from being impractical，they equip US with the knowledge and confidence to make sound judgments about any problems which may crop up.In addition，academic subjects are good for training us in mental discipline，while practical subjects are weak in this regard.
My third reason is based on the saying“Man does not live by bread a- lone.”schooldays devoted solely to instruction in down-to-earth practical matters would be dull indeed! Lessons in the best literature of the world and the epoch—making scientific and geographical discoveries of the past enrich our lives and make US feel that we are part of the great family of mankind.
All in all，the teaching of academic subjects in schools is entirely appropriate.It is my firmly held view that practical subjects have no place in the classroom.On the contrary.the curriculum should be more academic!
