Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
【范文】The Effects of Television on Communication
There is no doubt that television has greatly changed people’s lives. After its invention， it became an almost indispensable part of most households within the space of just a few years. Nowadays， many families have two or even three television sets so that every member of the family can watch what he wants whenever he wants. In my opinion， this has significantly reduced the amount of time that family and friends spend communicating with each other.
Before the invention of television， people spent their leisure time in more active and social pursuits. They often played cards or other games， listened to the radio together or went out to see friends. But now television is widely available and it offers a variety of program choices that appeal to almost every interest. People no longer have to look to others for entertainment. Also， television can be like a sedative. Studies have shown that watching a great deal of television makes people more passive. Finally， people are simply watching increasing amounts of television. And with two or three TV sets in the house， there is no need for them to even watch it together.
Although television has reduced the amount of time that family and friends spend together， it doesn’t have to be this way. People can make the choice to turn off the TV and do something more active. Or， if they really want to watch TV， they can find a thought-provoking program that they would all like to watch and discuss afterwards

Reading is not only relaxation. To keep up with their work, many people must read letters, reports, publications, office documents, a never ending flood of words. In an examination, the ability to read and to comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. But the fact is that most of us are poor readers. Fortunately, almost anyone can learn to read faster and with greater comprehension.
Here are some suggestions on how to deal with some bad reading habits. If you mouth each word as you read, this slows down you toa snail's speed. The best way to correct this problem is to place a finger on your lips and hold them firmly shut till you've broken the habit. If your head swings as your eyes move along a line, lock your head between your hands as you read. If you point to each word with your finger, grip the reading material firmly with both hands or sit on your hands while you read.
Here are more suggestions to train you to read better and faster: Read in aquiet spot, as free from distraction as possible. But don't daydream; force yourself to concentrate on what you are reading. If you come across unfamiliar words, try to guess the meaning from the context, then check the meaning in a dictionary later. Don't reread. Pretend the words disappear as your eyes pass over them. You'll probably be surprised to find that you didn't miss anything important. Try to glance only at nouns and verbs in sentences to see how much you can get out of reading this way.
The secret of success is constant practice. What you get will be worth the effort
模板三 儿童教育应群教还是因材施教
Some people think educate children of different abilities together will benefit them. others think intelligent children should be taught separately and give special courses， discuss both side and give own opinion!
[参考范文](儿童教育应群教还是因材施教)
Endowed by different talents， every individual is contributing to our society in different ways. Therefore， to treat every student equally is a common practice at existent schools; however， there is a tendency of growing popularity that schools are oriented by producing "elite students". It has aroused fierce controversies， for which reason I suggest that schools should keep their traditional strategy unchanged.
To begin with， to separate students according to their individual competence can injure their personality development. Some seemingly intelligent students are instilled with a sense of superiority. Consequently， they place themselves over the rest of the class， but some findings have indicated that those are of great wise are not necessarily of great use.
Secondly， to categorize students with a rigid rule can spur the rivalry between students， which is harmful for the academic atmosphere of a school. Schools are prestigious because of their inborn ability to provide children a relaxing and cooperative environment to study. To treat gifted children different would inescapably upgrade the competition between children. Arguments or infightings thus escalate.
Admittedly， to devise particular courses for a certain group of students can find their way to benefit students’ future. Some students have advanced their special interests in some subjects， such as philosophy， astronomy， and geography， to mention but a few. Those subjects， in general， demand fewer practitioners， compared with other profitable subjects， e.g.， business， computer， and graphic design， etc. However， as emphasized before， it is rational to leave students options to choose， instead of forcing an inflexible rule
In brief， to train students for specific purpose might be beneficial in some sense， but to coach them together is more favorable a strategy.
模板四 阐述健康在生命中的重要性
[题目]Health and Life
As the saying goes， you don’t know what happiness is until you lose it’ you don’t know what health is until you are ill. “Health is of vital importance to life” sounds like a cliche to everyone， but it is absolutely true.
The negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul， the harmful habits such as smoking， excessive drinking and burning mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plans are interrupted by bad health! Even a normal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health.
How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy. Regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of sources， one should do at least two things for him/herself. First， hold an active and optimistic attitude toward life and maintain a mental well-being. Second， live a regular life and keep a balanced diet. Anyway， a healthy life is within reach when you begin to adjust your mind and body.
模板五 阐述城市公共交通的重要性
【题目】Should governments spend more money on improving roads and highways， or should governments spend more money on improving public transportation (buses， trains， subways)? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.
【范文】
Good transportation is very important to the success of both individuals and a city. Without efficient means of transportation， people will waste a great deal of time going to and from work. This will make them tired and less productive in their jobs. People may rely on either private or public transportation to get them to and from work. If a choice has to be made between spending money on improving the roads for private vehicles or improving public transportation， I would choose the latter for the following reasons.
First of all， better public transportation systems， including buses， trains and subways， will encourage more people to use them rather than drive their own cars. This will reduce the total amount of traffic on the roads and make travel quicker for everyone. Second， using public transportation saves energy.
模板六 大都市生活带来的优点
【题目】
Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
【范文】The Advantages of City Life
There are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a small town. The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offers a cleaner， quieter and often friendlier place to live. However， despite the advantages of small town life， I prefer to live in a big city for several reasons.
First， life in the city is more convenient. More goods are available and stores are open later. Also， there is better public transportation so it is easier to get around. I can find almost anything I want easily in the city. Second， there are more ways to spend leisure time in the city. There are many places I can go to meet friends and have fun. Finally， and most importantly， the city offers more educational and career opportunities. The city often attracts the best teachers and the best companies. There is also a wider choice of jobs so it is easier to move up the career ladder.
For all of these reasons， I prefer to live in the city. Although I sometimes miss the fresh air and quiet life of a small town， nothing can make up for the opportunities that the city offers me. If one wants to be successful， I believe the best place to live is the city.
【译文】都市生活的优点
在大都市和在小城镇生活各有优点，这是不可否认的。前者提供给人们比较多的乐趣及便利，而后者则提供给人们一个比较干净、安静，而且通常更亲切的居住场所。然而，尽管小镇生活有这些优点，但基于某些理由，我还是比较喜欢住在大都市里。
首先，都市生活比较方便，可以买到比较多的商品，而且商店营业时间比较晚。此外，都市里有较好的公共运输工具，到哪里都比较容易。在都市里，我几乎可以轻易地找到任何我想要的东西。其次，在都市里有更多的方式消磨休闲时间。有很多地方可以让我去认识朋友，并且玩得很开心。最后，也是最重要的一点是，都市提供更多教育及就业的机会。都市往往能吸引最好的老师以及最好的公司。因为工作机会比较广泛，所以要升迁也比较容易。
基于上述种种理由，我比较喜欢住在都市。虽然有时候我会想念小镇新鲜的空气及安静的生活，但没有什么可以弥补都市提供给我的机会。如果想要成功，我认为最好的居住地点就是都市。

[范文]
In spite of objections from public opinion, many students can't draw themselves away from video games. It seems that the more they are prohibited from playing the games, the more they are tempted to do so. Many students indulge themselves in playing these games.
Video games are harmful to both the individual and society in many ways. First, they endanger the young people's health. Sitting in front of the computer for hours on end is bad for the player's eyesight as well as his entire physique. Secondly, they distract the young people%attention from their work and study. Absorbed in the games, the player often forgets to go to work or class. Sometimes even if they are at work or in class, they are still thinking of the games they played or are going to play after work or after class. As a result, they quickly fall behind others in their work and study. Thirdly, they lead young people to moral degradation. Some young people are especially interested in games that are filled with violence. If they play these games a long time, they may also settle disagreements through violence, which may give rise to higher crime rate.
Therefore, it is time we took effective measures to solve this problem. On the one hand, young people should be made fully aware of the danger of video games. On the other, illegal video game houses should be eliminated, and software producers should be encouraged to make more beneficial video games in the future.

[范文]
Increasing numbers of college students are cutting classes, which has caused a great deal of social concern and criticism. Some think that the larger part of the blame should go to the students. Others, however, think that it is the teachers who should be responsible. But I think both the students and the teachers have fault of their own.
Compared with middle school students, college students have relatively more "freedom". If they are not strict with themselves, chances are that they will oversleep in the morning, go to the Internet or find other activities to entertain themselves during class hours. In addition, some students have the misconception that work experience is more important than theoretical knowledge when it comes to job hunting. So they busy themselves in part time jobs when they should be attending class.
On the other hand, some teachers still conduct classes in the old fashioned way. Their classes are so boring that they make many students fall asleep. Besides, some textbooks are so out of date that they think it a waste of time attending classes.
In a word, both the students and the teachers should be wide awake to this serious problem and make great efforts to use the time at college to its best advantage.

Social Practice.You should write at least120words following the outline below in Chinese.
a) 社会实践的作用
b) 可能产生的问题
c) 提出建议
Social Practice
Social practice has been more and more popular in universities and colleges. Students are asked to enter society and get some idea of it. Surely social practice has many advantages. Firstly, social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. In this way students can gain some valuable social experience, which will be useful to their future career. Secondly, students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work, thus knowing themselves more clearly. Thirdly, social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.
However, some problems may arise if no correct guidance is made. For example, some students get overly interested in social practice and want to work full-time and earn money, thus neglecting their studies. And some students are likely to get in touch with the dark side of society, which will affect their future studies.
In order to carry out social practice smoothly, students should first know its objective. They should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement, so they ought to try to strike a balance between social practice and their studies.

3. 我的看法。
Aid Education in China
Each year, college students, encouraged to aid students in the poverty-stricken areas, volunteer themselves in poor villages for a year and try to improve education in poor areas.
Aid-education has been beneficial in two aspects. On the one hand, college volunteers are really devoted to the cause. They have opened the eyes of students in underdeveloped regions to the outside world by bringing them new knowledge and thoughts. As a result, they are extremely well-received by the children there. On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions. They are enjoying the appreciation and no-distance friendship from the children. What’s more, they are greatly inspired by the moving and tireless spirit of the children.
In my opinion, China’s educational development can’t be isolated from each individual and we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.

[范文]
Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. This is because they believe that children learn languages more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around ages 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? It may not necessarily be the case. In fact, the ability to learn language increases as the age increases, from childhood to adulthood.
There are several possible explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults know more about the world and, therefore, are able to understand things more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help them see patterns in the language. Finally, adults have more self discipline than children.
All in all, the common conception that children are better language learners than adults may not necessarily be true. Hopefully, this would encourage adult learners to become successful language learners, no matter what new languages they want to learn.下载本文
