Re:【转】雅思考试写作专栏9分范文
雅思9分大作文范文（2）
题目：The older generations tend to have very traditional ideas about how people should live, think and behave. However, some people believe that these ideas are not helpful in preparing younger generations for modern life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
范文：
It is true that many older people believe in traditional values that often seem incompatible with the needs of younger people. While I agree that some traditional ideas are outdated, I believe that others are still useful and should not be forgotten.
On the one hand, many of the ideas that elderly people have about life are becoming less relevant for younger people. In the past, for example, people were advised to learn a profession and find a secure job for life, but today’s workers expect much more variety and diversity from their careers. At the same time, the ‘rules’ around relationships are being eroded as young adults make their own choices about who and when to marry. But perhaps the greatest disparity between the generations can be seen in their attitudes towards gender roles. The traditional roles of men and women, as breadwinners and housewives, are no longer accepted as necessary or appropriate by most younger people.
On the other hand, some traditional views and values are certainly applicable to the modern world. For example, older generations attach great importance to working hard, doing one’s best, and taking pride in one’s work, and these behaviours can surely benefit young people as they enter today’s competitive job market. Other characteristics that are perhaps seen as traditional are politeness and good manners. In our globalised world, young adults can expect to come into contact with people from a huge variety of backgrounds, and it is more important than ever to treat others with respect. Finally, I believe that young people would lead happier lives if they had a more ‘old-fashioned’ sense of community and neighbourliness.
In conclusion, although the views of older people may sometimes seem unhelpful in today’s world, we should not dismiss all traditional ideas as irrelevant.

雅思9分大作文范文（3）
题目：Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later, and it is often argued that these are the best people to talk to teenagers about the dangers of committing a crime. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
范文：
It is true that ex-prisoners can become normal, productive members of society. I completely agree with the idea that allowing such people to speak to teenagers about their experiences is the best way to discourage them from breaking the law.
In my opinion, teenagers are more likely to accept advice from someone who can speak from experience. Reformed offenders can tell young people about how they became involved in crime, the dangers of a criminal lifestyle, and what life in prison is really like. They can also dispel any ideas that teenagers may have about criminals leading glamorous lives. While adolescents are often indifferent to the guidance given by older people, I imagine that most of them would be extremely keen to hear the stories of an ex-offender. The vivid and perhaps shocking nature of these stories is likely to have a powerful impact.
The alternatives to using reformed criminals to educate teenagers about crime would be much less effective. One option would be for police officers to visit schools and talk to young people. This could be useful in terms of informing teens about what happens to lawbreakers when they are caught, but young people are often reluctant to take advice from figures of authority. A second option would be for school teachers to speak to their students about crime, but I doubt that students would see teachers as credible sources of information about this topic. Finally, educational films might be informative, but there would be no opportunity for young people to interact and ask questions.
In conclusion, I fully support the view that people who have turned their lives around after serving a prison sentence could help to deter teenagers from committing crimes.

雅思9分大作文范文（4）
题目：Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
范文：
People have different views about how much choice students should have with regard to what they can study at university. While some argue that it would be better for students to be forced into certain key subject areas, I believe that everyone should be able to study the course of their choice.
There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be useful in the future. They may assert that university courses like medicine, engineering and information technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain art degrees. From a personal perspective, it can be argued that these courses provide more job opportunities, career progression, better salaries, and therefore an improved quality of life for students who take them. On the societal level, by forcing people to choose particular university subjects, governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered. Finally, a focus on technology in higher education could lead to new inventions, economic growth, and greater future prosperity.
In spite of these arguments, I believe that university students should be free to choose their preferred areas of study. In my opinion, society will benefit more if our students are passionate about what they are learning. Besides, nobody can really predict which areas of knowledge will be most useful to society in the future, and it may be that employers begin to value creative thinking skills above practical or technical skills. If this were the case, perhaps we would need more students of art, history and philosophy than of science or technology.
In conclusion, although it might seem sensible for universities to focus only on the most useful subjects, I personally prefer the current system in which people have the right to study whatever they like.

雅思9分大作文范文（5）
题目：In some countries, many more people are choosing to live alone nowadays than in the past. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
范文：
In recent years it has become far more normal for people to live alone, particularly in large cities in the developed world. In my opinion, this trend could have both positive and negative consequences in equal measure.
The rise in one-person households can be seen as positive for both personal and broader economic reasons. On an individual level, people who choose to live alone may become more independent and self-reliant than those who live with family members. A young adult who lives alone, for example, will need to learn to cook, clean, pay bills and manage his or her budget, all of which are valuable life skills; an increase in the number of such individuals can certainly be seen as a positive development. From an economic perspective, the trend towards living alone will result in greater demand for housing. This is likely to benefit the construction industry, estate agents and a whole host of other companies that rely on homeowners to buy their products or services.
However, the personal and economic arguments given above can be considered from the opposite angle. Firstly, rather than the positive feeling of increased independence, people who live alone may experience feelings of loneliness, isolation and worry. They miss out on the emotional support and daily conversation that family or flatmates can provide, and they must bear the weight of all household bills and responsibilities; in this sense, perhaps the trend towards living alone is a negative one. Secondly, from the financial point of view, a rise in demand for housing is likely to push up property prices and rents. While this may benefit some businesses, the general population, including those who live alone, will be faced with rising living costs.
In conclusion, the increase in one-person households will have both beneficial and detrimental effects on individuals and on the economy.

【二段】：我方立场的展开：(网络游戏的弊端)
Indeed, on no account can we overlook the potential downsides triggered by allowing children to be engrossed in computer games. First, excessive exposure to on-line games might decrease the players’ creativity and imagination. Meanwhile, the craziness about games is physically detrimental because it reduces physical activities, imaginably, the sedentary lifestyle would increase the likelihood of obesity. Further, we can never ignore the negative impacts caused by games in terms of family relationship. The more time children spend on TV or game, the less time they could allocate to family communication. Last, the current game contents are besieged with pornography, violence and blood. Consequently, they might corrupt one’s innocent mind, arouse one’s violent impulse and mislead one’s life outlook. Thus，those adult-only contents contained in computer games are also the possible root causes of school bullying.

首段：背景介绍 + 争议焦点 +作家立场
People have been pondering for years the connotation of true happiness. Perhaps no issue has led to such an end less debate as to whether or not large sums of money could directly bring people well-being. Standards towards happiness differ widely from person to person. My view is that the sense of well-being could derive from wealth, however, other more significant factors have more indispensable roles to play in enhancing one’s happiness index.
二段：论证财富为何是幸福的源泉
Indeed, happiness do closely relate to economic achievement to some extent because a great amount of wealth can make people’s life more enjoyable, comfortable and free. To be more specific, one can fulfill his many dreams such as receiving fine education and traveling around the globe if he or she has deep pocket. Still, economic success implies high social status, which can bring people the sense of happiness and even earn respect from others.
三段：论证幸福更加重要的源泉
Notwithstanding all that, there is no definite correlation between the amount of one’s wealth and his or her happiness index. Happiness，sometimes， does not depend on economic success but completely on wholesome physique and mentality. First, happiness lies in health. More precisely, wealth, fame, or status will be of little meaning if one fails to ensure his health. To illustrate, some affluent enterprisers have money to burn, yet, they are basically unhappy due to the deteriorating health condition and huge mental pressure. Further, health ensures career success and family harmony. In other words, health enables one to brave the career challenges energetically and harmonize the family life optimistically. Ultimately, those who enjoy good health must be confident and optimistic, their pleasant characters can help them enlarge circle of friends. The multiplication of close friends will brighten their spirit and sweeten their lives.
尾段：亮明观点+总结理由
In the final analysis, I re-affirm my conviction that happiness is not only related to economic success but also links to health, which is more significant. Only by means of owing desirable health condition can we enjoy the lifelong sense of pleasure although wealth sometimes indicates the source of happiness.

In some countries, young people are not only richer but also safer and healthier than ever before. However, they are less happy. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest? 在一些国家，年轻人更加富有，安全，健康，但是，他们还是不快乐，原因何在，如何解决?
思路拓展：幸福的源泉
1. 做自己喜欢的事情
2. 学习的乐趣
3. 朋友带来的乐趣
4. 生活的简单轻松

年轻人不快乐的根源：

主观上：
1. 幸福感其实和自我的期待值有关，欲望好像是盐水，越喝越渴。有时候，年轻人想要提升自我，但是，又缺乏力量，想要后退，又不甘心，欲求不得的焦虑正是不快乐的根源之一。

1.父母承担对于子女的责任，为他们营造快乐健康的成长环境。

素食主义为何可以保持健康
1. 素食主义者避免了糖分、脂肪、和过多的热量的摄入。

What I want to rebut, however, is that too much consumption of fruits and vegetables might result in the imbalance of nutritional value

【思路拓展】：
为何保持健康是履行社会责任：
① 保持身体健康是个人履行社会责任的体现，因为这减少了对于国家医疗资源的消耗，国家就有财政预算解决其他民生问题。
② 如果个人的健康没有保障，难以胜任工作挑战，亦无法为社会发展做出应有贡献。相反，健康的公民可以创造社会财富，为国家发展注入新鲜活力。因此，是个人社会责任的体现。
为何保持健康是良好的个人习惯：
① 对于个人的利好：增强自信，减少忧虑，培养乐观人生态度。健康者通常为热爱运动者，通过运动可结实好友，这就意味着快乐源泉之增加。
② 对于家庭的利好：可以想象，个人健康状况令人担忧，家人必然痛苦和担忧(例如企业家和文体明星)，因此，个人健康可以使人乐观地实现家庭的和谐。

So prevailing are the fast foods that some teenagers are in the habit eating junk foods nearly every week. From the perspective of some nutritionists, too much intake of sugar, calorie and fat is undoubtedly health-threatening, for fast food, in most cases, is low in nutritional value. People differ greatly in their views as to how to foster wholesome dietary habit. As I see it, educating the public about the dangers of unhealthy eating, regulating baneful sales and food advertisements to children and lowering the price of healthy foods should be used together to help people keep fit.
【二段】
Granted, one effective way to promote a healthy diet is to educate people about the potential risks of unhealthy diet. Modern people might opt for healthier meals and snacks if they are taught that fast foods are high in salt, fat and sugar. To illustrate, I myself changed my unwholesome eating habits after watching television programs on how to preserve health. Also, while it is of great significance to educate adult eater, schoolchildren should be main target for education because they are not only in their formative years but also the regular eaters of fast foods.
【三段】
In addition to education, other ways to promote healthy eating are not far to seek. First, methods should be adopted to strictly censor those junk food advertisement aiming at children. Meanwhile, bundle sale of children’ meals by giving out gift toys ought to be banned. Virtually, American has already enacted relevant legislations to restrict such sale promotion of KFC and Mcdonald's. Also, it is imperative for the governments to ensure that healthy foods are cheaper so that people could afford to buy the wholesome foods. Imaginably，the decreased price of fresh fruits and vegetable could enable more people to enjoy healthier foods.

Overall, education could aid people to change bad eating habits. However, it also works to restrain the improper publicity and sale of fast food restaurant as well as lower the price of wholesome foods

【工作类】多元职业和候鸟生活的利弊
An amount of people today change their career and place of residence several times during their lives. Is this positive or negative to development?很多人在一生中不断改变自己的居住地以及工作，是好还是不好?(2013年10月19日)
【相关考题】
Many parents these days work in other countries, taking their families with them. Do you think advantages of the development outweigh its disadvantages? 很多父母现在在异国他乡工作，会带上自己的家人，是否利大于弊?
【作家立场】多元职业和候鸟生活利大于弊。
【头脑风暴】
有谁愿躲在避风的港口，宁愿波涛汹涌的自由，风景在别处，他乡是故乡。候鸟是一种最精壮的鸟，它不安居一地，以迁徙为乐。对于随性随缘，追逐生命质量的人而言，落地处即是家乡，四海内皆可交友，他们深思熟虑地选择了自己渴望的生活方式，并且，愿意承担一切，仅仅为自由飞翔的梦想。
【思路拓展】
①很多的年轻人被更好的工作机会和更现代的都市生活吸引，喜欢选择心仪的居住地工作和生活，而不是久居故土。
②异地择业生活，意味着不断地迎接挑战，多种职业技能学习的机会，丰富的工作的经验的积累，广阔的人脉资源。于生活而已，人可体味持久的新鲜感，找到自己真正喜爱的适合的城市。
③无可否认，离开家乡，家庭纽带的分解以及友谊的淡化不可避免，因为空间的隔离使得老友家人之间交流和交往的机会减少。或许有人认为，候鸟生活只是适合年轻时代，候鸟式的生活很难保障人的稳定的生活和持久的幸福感，但是，我想反驳的是，即使迁移，人亦可以成家立业，娶妻生子，广泛交友，感受幸福。

One of the traits of modern way of working is that people enjoy more freedom in terms of selecting their dream jobs and places of residence. To voice my opinion, the merits of free job selection and multiple career choice prevail over its possible downsides.
【二段】 多元职业和候鸟生活之利好的展开
Seen from positive aspects, many benefits can be acquired. First，multiple career choice and constant change of residence means a broad range of working experience and constant refreshment. Meanwhile, one can become more talented and competent by taking up various jobs.

Hence，one can have brighter career and enjoy precious memory in the future. Last，to embark on more jobs in diverse cities enables one to have better personal resources. A well-connected interpersonal network，to some extent, indicates more splendid opportunities of job-promotion, comfortable salary and even the room for career achievement.

On the downsides, some problems might ensue. For a start, the decomposition of family bonds is an unavoidable risk due to the spatial separation. Imaginably, the face-to-face opportunities of communicating with relatives and friends will be reduced if people live too far. Further, every individual should assume the responsibility of getting married and starting his career, it might be hard for people to obtain the sense of well-being and enjoy a kind of stable life provided that they change place of working too quickly.
【尾段】 再次亮明观点
In closing，my stand is that it is up to us to find the means to achieve that happiness each of us long for, however, young people should be inspired to explore the unknown. That is the best way for them to deepen their insight into what they are hoping to do with their lives.

【工作类】人们难以平衡生活和事业的原因和解决策略
Currently，many people fail to balance the work with the other parts of lives, what are the reasons and how to solve it? 现在，一些人难以平衡工作和生活的其他部分，原因何在，如何解决?(2012年3月8日)
【头脑风暴】
“我只想按照自己内心的想法去生活，为何这也如此艰难? ”有时候，我们想要上升，却又缺乏力量，我们想要后退，又不甘心，欲求而不得的焦躁，正是人生的困顿所在。“吾欲乎遑遑欲何之。”我的心啊，你为何如此不安宁，我的人生，你到底要走向哪里?只是，无论生活如何困顿、迷茫，只要我们还在为梦想奋力的路上，明天的太阳就一定是美丽的。
【写作目的】本篇将会探究下人们未能处理家庭和生活矛盾的原因，再提出解决策略。
【思路拓展】
人们难以平衡工作和生活的原因解读：
①现代人对于生活的欲求更多，人，若想专业上脱颖而出，事业上高歌猛进，就要比常人努力，因此，一个人在工作中花费的时间越多，一个可以分配给家庭生活、健康管理和个人爱好的时间就越少。
②工作狂的现象可以被归结为工作的压力和竞争的激烈，多数情况下，人想要事业中出类拔萃，就要奋发图强，因此，很多职场新人只能全心工作。
人们努力平衡工作和生活的解决策略：
① 企业应帮助职员缓压，建立理性的工作制，提倡健康的工作方式，毕竟，无论工作学习，勤奋高效才是我们应努力追求的。
② 对于个人而言，我们应该转变心态，事业的成功不是人生唯一目的，努力工作是为了去创造和享受美好人生， 但是，工作不应成为负累。无论多忙，人应牢记：家庭生活和健康管理也是重要的，我们不该把没有完成的工作带回家，也应规律运动、发展爱好、拓宽交友圈。

雅思作文素材运用汇总（2017）（5）
【犯罪类】
A recent newspaper article reports that a 14-year-old boy seriously destroyed school got a punishment to clean streets instead of sending to prison. Do you think young criminals should be sent to jail? 报道显示：14岁的年轻人校园违规后会受到做清洁工作的处罚而非服刑，你认为少年犯是否应该被送进监狱?
【考题点评】
开年总是伴随新题出现，规律不变，预测有难度。然而，题库有限，恒热不变。本场为全新角度，却是旧题改写，和老师预测犯罪类第二题极其相似。
【小鹏预测】
【犯罪类】
1. Research suggests that majority of criminals who send to prison would commit crimes when set free, what do you think of this case? What can be done to solve this problem? 研究显示：大多数刑满释放人员会再次犯罪，原因何在，如何解决?
2. Some people think that sending criminals to prison is not the best method of dealing with them. Education and job training are better ways to help them. Do you agree or disagree? 有人认为：将犯罪分子送入监狱不是最好的解决犯罪问题的方法，教育和工作培训是更好的方法，是否同意?
【相关题目】
Some people think the only purpose of prison is to punish crimes, others think it has other functions. Discuss both views and give your opinion? 有人认为刑罚的唯一的目的是严惩犯罪，有人认为刑罚还有其他功能，讨论两种观点，给出你的意见? (2013年2月16日)
Some people think law-breakers should be sent to prison, however, others think that better talents among those should be made to work. Discuss both views and give your own opinion 有人认为违法者应该被送进监狱，有人认为有才艺的犯罪分子应该被鼓励去工作，讨论两种观点，给出你的意见?(2009年9月17日)
【头脑风暴】
有谁年少不痴狂，少年犯罪某种意义上是一种“激情犯罪。”少年犯罪更多的是冲动犯罪、过失犯罪、被诱导犯罪。 青少年涉世不深，模仿力强，定力不足，因此他们才常常有犯罪的“热血”和“冲动”。他们耍勇斗狠，争强好胜，风风火火闯九州，该出手时就出手，尤其是当一些少年犯来自暴力或单亲家庭，亦或是受到外界的不良影响之时。人言：“一失足成千古恨。”我说：“人生长路漫漫，只要你反思人生，向上向善，人生就还有峰回路转的余地。”
【作家立场】尚未成年者若仅是校园违规，鼓励他们服务社区或者做清洁工作是可取的，然而，对于惯性犯罪者，重罪轻罚是不可取的。
【思路拓展】
1. 商业化大众传媒的不良影响，暴力或单亲家庭的不良成长环境，或者，青少年本身的好奇心和模仿力强都是他们误迷途的根源，因此，对于初次犯罪者或者过失犯罪者，理应给予他们改过自新的机会，鼓励少年犯服务社区，清扫街道都不失为可行的措施。
2. 然而，对于少年犯罪，也不能固定刑罚。我们还应该考虑他们恶行的影响和动机，有些“性攻击”，“校园欺凌”类的少年犯已经给受害者带来巨大痛苦，造成严重的社会负面影响，因此，重罪轻罚亦不可取，只有适度量刑才能威慑潜在犯罪分子、体现法律公正、安慰受害者家属。
【范文赏析】
【首段】 背景介绍 + 作家立场
Alarmingly, various misdeeds among teenagers ranging from school bullying or sex assault are now becoming big headaches in many countries. Juvenile delinquency not only afflicts the victims but also jeopardizes the community. Many efforts have already been made on how to crack down juvenile crime, but, the effect is far from satisfying. This essay aims to represent relevant measures of penalties.
【解析】
1. juvenile delinquency = teenage crime = youth crime n青少年犯罪
2. afflict = agonize = distress v 使痛苦
3. jeopardize the community = endanger the society v 危害社会
4. crack down juvenile crime v降低青少年犯罪
5. measures of penalty = measures of punishment n 惩罚措施
【二段】 对于初次犯罪者或过失犯罪者的处罚措施：
Nobody is innate perpetrator，during the journey of life，those who are in the formative years are，sometimes，derailed by manifold causes such as the negative influence of negative mass media, the disadvantaged family background or external factors. In this sense, stricter penalty for the first offenders, unintentional lawbreakers is far from rational, especially when taking the teenagers’ immature mentality into account. Virtually, appropriate punishment is commendable, to motivate those juvenile offenders to serve the community or sweeping the street can be reasonable measures.
【解析】
1. Nobody is innate perpetrator. 人性本善
2. In this sense, stricter penalty for the first offenders, unintentional lawbreakers is far from rational, especially when taking the teenagers’ immature mentality into account. 因此，对于初犯者或者过失犯罪者，重罚远非理性，尤其当我们考虑到他们不成熟的心智的时候。
3. To motivate those juvenile offenders to serve the community or sweeping the street can be reasonable measures. 鼓励少年犯服务社区或者清扫街道都是合理的措施。
【解析】sweep v打扫(尤其是用大柄扫把清扫街道)
【拓展】The economic crisis is sweeping across the world. 经济危机正在席卷全球。
【三段】 为何不能固定刑罚，其他处罚措施有哪些：
Notwithstanding all that，taking the effects of a misconduct and its motivation into consideration is a prerequisite for ensuring justice of the law. There should not be fixed punishment for all youth crime. Some misdeeds, for example, school bullying or sex assaults will inevitably distress the sufferers and endanger the society. Hence, light penalty for felony is unwise. Conversely, stricter punishment for hardened criminals will not only embody the justice of law but also exert a deterrent effect on those potential malefactors.
【解析】
1. a prerequisite n一种必要条件
2. Taking the effects of misconduct and its motivation into consideration is a prerequisite for ensuring justice of the law. 考虑到犯罪的影响和动机是缺乏法律公正的先决条件。
3. School bullying or sex assaults will inevitably distress the sufferers and endanger the society. 性攻击或校园欺凌会不可避免地伤害受害者，危及社会安定。
4. Light penalty for felony is unwise. 重罪轻罚是不明智的。
5. Stricter punishment for hardened criminals will not only embody the justice of law but also exert a deterrent effect on those potential malefactors. 对于重刑犯的严厉处罚不仅体现法律公正，而且，可以震慑潜在的犯罪分子。
【尾段】总结立场
To sum up，there is no simple resolution for such a complicate social problem，it is reasonable to expect that the combination of these suggestions may be needed. Custom-tailored penalty may be the best strategy for each teenage crime.
【解析】
Custom-tailored penalty may be the best strategy for each teenage crime 对于每一种少年犯罪行为的量体裁衣的处罚措施也许才是最好的策略。
【创造感言】
本篇思维锋利如刀，文笔行云流水。老师每篇文本以亮剑的标准要求自己,力求完美,不留余地。 唯有厚积薄发,才能一飞冲天。江河浩瀚，始于点滴。千里之行，始于足下，我们要习惯像蚂蚁一样，聚沙成塔。
【经典语料】
1. the custom-made penalty n量体裁衣的处罚措施
2. violate the law = perpetrate the law v违反法律
3. conduct ant-social offences v 做出反社会行为
4. arouse one’s violent impulse v诱发了人的暴力的冲动
5. enable those who are led astray to make compensation for their misconducts v使那些误入迷途者对于他们的过失做出补偿
6. reflect on their evil lives v反思他们罪恶的人生
7. As for those hardened teenage criminals, the government should be urged to impose stricter penalty on them so that other potential young law-breakers can be deterred. 对于青少年惯犯而言，政府应该加大惩罚措施，这样可以震慑潜在的犯罪分子。
8. So immature and inexperienced are some youngsters that they tend to blindly imitate what they have seen, especially when they expose to pornographic movies and violent on-line games. 一些年轻人是如此不成熟，缺乏经验，以至于他们会盲目地效仿他们看到的一切，尤其是当他们接触到色情电影和暴力游戏的时候。
9. In this sense, their cause of committing crimes can be owed to the negative influence of the mass media. 因此，他们的犯罪原因可以被归结为商业化大众传媒的不良影响。
10. The young prisoners should be inspired and educated to serve the community to compensate for their misdeeds, sweeping the street can be a good in case in point. 少年犯应该被鼓励和教育去做社区服务，以弥补他们的犯罪行为，清洁街道也许就是很好的方法。

支持女性参军
①女性从军或者扮演女警角色不是没有其道理，保家卫国，维护社会安宁，人人有责，女性也不例外。
② 选择自己喜欢的职业，人人应该享有均等的权利，禁止女性入伍及从警是对女性选择自己喜欢的事业的基本权利的公然侵犯。
③ 女性从事警察职业或者是从军，可以发挥其性别优势，因为女性心思缜密，天性温柔。例如，女性的被侵害(来自性侵案)者应该由女警来安慰，在战争时期，女性医务人员可以给病员提供更好的情感安慰及精心的照料。

【头脑风暴】
废料处置以及再循环利用，比较日本和中国，日本做的更好：分类处理生活垃圾，人们有环保意识，节能意识，废料对于环境的污染很少，废料得到充分的循环利用。相反，中国做得不尽如人意。有些人缺乏环保意识，媒体的宣传力度不足，政府对于乱丢生活的垃圾的现象也没有明确的规范。同时，废料处理基地和废料处理技术也有待改善。

{二段}：人们为何未能废料循环利用
Indeed, what some people are doing is wasting precious natural resources and disposing of garbage randomly. The reasons why recycling waste materials leaves much to be desired are not far to seek. First, some cities fail to establish enough recycling sites to collect and tackle waste materials. Meanwhile, some countries lack efficient techniques in terms of waste treatment.

Likewise，attempts should be made to by scientist to explore and popularize efficient and eco-friendly techniques of recycling wastes. Further, strengthening the publicity to raise the consciousness of cherishing the natural resources also works. Eventually, the responsibility should be given to every individual. The public should be urged to use recycled products, install energy-efficient and water-saving appliances, separate solid wastes.

标题 Introduction: (42 words)
Now the chance of experiencing different lifestyles or imitating to speak a few words of other languages for fun is slim due to the disappearance of some cultures and languages. I think that superstitious cultures and languages behind modern times cannot survive(thesis statement).
Body1 (112words)
Once I visited Se ethnic minorities village, located on a hillside in south of China. To my disappointment, I did not feel a different thing about ethnic clothes, food or music. Ridiculously, an old villager said that the forefather of his race had been an embodiment of a fairy with a dog head and a human body! The old generations have been proud of being the descendants of the fairy; however, Generation Y may feel ashamed of that because they know exactly this is a superstitious myth and to be a dog's descendants is not a glorious thing.Apparently,the cultures basing on superstitious belief would be torn down by social progress(topic sentence).
Body2(121words)
Further more, a language without written methods may be replaced by advanced one(topic sentence). There are many parts of the world where people cannot write because they do not have their own written language. The only way they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas handed down from one generation of storytellers to another. With the fast pace of globalization, international aid can be put forward to reach every corner of the world. Those underdeveloped or isolated areas could receive food, medicine and education. The advanced civilization has pervaded into those primitive cultures hence they have started to learn writing something by the means of the available language accompanied with aid. Therefore their original one would have disappeared.
Conclusion (34words)
In conclusion, the disappearance of some cultures or languages is not worth preventing. This is an unavoidable outcome of the global economic growth. Most importantly, people can enjoy more prosperity and social progress.
Computers are widely used in education and some people think teachers are not playing an important role in classroom. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The 21st century is the period of information, in which computers will play an important role in every area of our lives. Recently, computer assisted education has become more and more popular in primary schools, high schools and colleges. The computer’s multimedia abilities make the classes lively and interesting. As a result, some people have said that teachers are no longer playing a significant role in classroom. I can hardly agree with the m.
First, it is the teacher who creates the software used in class. For example, the software may be an outline of the teacher’s lecture. If you listen to some lectures, you will find that the lectures contain far more information than the multimedia software includes. While showing the class, most teachers will expand the knowledge extent, especially adding some latest discoveries and breakthroughs. So, the computer is just an assistant, which makes the class more vivid and clear. Teachers and students are the main part of a class.
Second, computers cannot organize activities in class in place of teachers. For example, we often do some group work during classes, and it is the teachers who set the groups and control the time. After checking our homework, teachers will understand what the real weakness of students is, and adjust their classes to improve their teaching, while computers cannot.
Moreover, the interaction between students and teachers is very useful. During the asking and answering of questions, students pose problems and find answers more clearly. But computers, now, have not that intelligence.
All in all, although computer technology is developing very quickly and computers can solve more and more problems without people, teachers still play an important role in class. And I insist that, no matter how the technology develops, teachers will be in the front of the classroom forever
Is it nature or nurture that plays a major role in the development of personality? What's your opinion?
There has been an argument on personality and individual’s development for a long time. The key point of the dispute is which factor plays a more important role, genes or training after birth? In my opinion, the latter is the crucial complication, though genes are significant.
Although genes have great effects on one’s personality, environment plays a more important role in his further development. Let’s take an experiment for instance. There was a research on a couple of identical twins who were born in a big city, but they were separated after birth. One was taken to a poor suburban area, while the other remained in the city. Fifteen years later, surely, the one in city grew tall, strong, extroverted and well educated. By contrast, the other was short, thin, introverted and nearly illiterate. This well demonstrates the importance of nurturing.
In addition, education, especially early education, is another key factor.When children are very young, they try to imitate their parents’ behaviors, and run into some manners. After going to school, different education systems and even different courses students taking will make influence on their personalities and ideas. Students of science and technology subjects are good at logical thinking, while students of arts usually think in terms of imagine.
As you can tell from my comments above, no one can choose his nature,but one can be greatly successful after striving for himself or being well educated. And no one can be successful relying on his genes without good environment. So, in my opinion, environmental influence and education will ultimately decide one’s personality and development.

With the development of science and technology, the cars have already become the important component in our daily life gradually. Cars make our life convenient and swift.

The car [is] playing an important role in our daily life. They make our rhythm of life faster and faster, make our business become more and more efficient.
On the other hand, the development of the automobile has brought a lot of infant industry to people, Give people countless employment opportunities too. Such as, manufacturing industry, repairing industry and maintaining industry. We are enjoying the convenience that the cars bring to us; at the same time we can utilize the auto industry to support ourselves.However, we can not ignore that too many cars cause enormous social problems, for example, traffic jam, air pollution, traffic accident, to which we have to find a solution.
In a word, the cars have brought enormous change to our life; the advantages are far more than the disadvantages. We should recognize the merit of the cars, and do our best to solve the problems. If so, our life will be brighter.

标题
As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing.
What factors contribute to job satisfaction?
How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?
工作满意度的影响因素，期望所有的劳动者都满意现实么?
参考范文：
Nowadays many adults have full-time jobs and the proportion of their lives spent doing such jobs is very high. So feelings about one’s job must reflect how an individual feels about his or her life as a whole, and because of this, job satisfaction is indeed very important for the wellbeing of that person.
Employees get job satisfaction in a number of ways. Firstly, a person needs to feel that they are doing valued and valuable work, so positive feedback from superior is very important in his respect. A sense of fulfillment is also encouraged if a worker feels the job is worth doing because it contributes to the society or the economy as a whole. Secondly, when someone feels they are improving or developing their skills through training opportunities, for example, then there is a sense of progress and purpose that rewards a worker. The sense of belonging to a team or a working community also contributes to job satisfaction because colleagues help each other to enjoy their working lives. Satisfaction is also increased by a sense of responsibility for the loyal to a team.
Of course not everyone enjoys their work. Hard economic realities mean that many people have little choice in the kind of job they can get. In some cases an employee is working in a job that suits neither their skills nor their personality. Some jobs are repetitive and boring, and labor relations may be poor and lead to resentment and insecurity rather than to job satisfaction.
However, even though it is unlikely that all workers do feel happy in their work, I think it is not unrealistic to promote more job satisfaction in any job. If the factors identified above implemented, then any job can be improved and more workers can feel greater degrees of job satisfaction.(303words)

标题
It’s generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.运动或音乐等才艺是天生的还是可以后天培养的?
考官范文：
The relative importance of natural talent and training is a frequent topic of discussion when people try to explain different levels of ability in, for example, sport, art or music.
Obviously, education systems are based on the belief that all children can effectively be taught to acquire different skills, including those associated with sport, art or music. So from our own school experience, we can find plenty of evidence to support the view that a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.
However, some people believe that innate talent is what differentiates a person who has been trained to play a sport or an instrument, from those who become good players. In other words, there is more to the skill than to a learned technique, and this extra talent cannot be taught, no matter how good the teacher or how frequent a child practices.
I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably inherited via their genes. Such talents can give individuals a facility for certain skills that allow them to excel, while more hard-working students never manage to reach a comparable level. But, as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not mutually exclusive. Good musicians or artists and exceptional sports stars have probably succeed because of both good training and natural talent. With the natural talent, continuous training would be neither attractive nor productive, and without the training, the child would not learn how to exploit and develop their talent.
In conclusion, I agree that any child can be taught particular skills, but to be really good in areas such as music, art or sport, then some natural talent is required.

题目：More and more people are migrating to cities in search of a better life, but city life can be extremely difficult. Explain some of the difficulties of living in a city. How can governments make urban life better for everyone?
范文：
Cities are often seen as places of opportunity, but there are also some major drawbacks of living in a large metropolis. In my opinion, governments could do much more to improve city life for the average inhabitant.
The main problem for anyone who hopes to migrate to a large city is that the cost of living is likely to be much higher than it is in a small town or village. Inhabitants of cities have to pay higher prices for housing, transport, and even food. Another issue is that urban areas tend to suffer from social problems such as high crime and poverty rates in comparison with rural areas. Furthermore, the air quality in cities is often poor, due to pollution from traffic, and the streets and public transport systems are usually overcrowded. As a result, city life can be unhealthy and stressful.
However, there are various steps that governments could take to tackle these problems. Firstly, they could invest money in the building of affordable or social housing to reduce the cost of living. Secondly, politicians have the power to ban vehicles from city centres and promote the use of cleaner public transport, which would help to reduce both air pollution and traffic congestion. In London, for example, the introduction of a congestion charge for drivers has helped to curb the traffic problem. A third option would be to develop provincial towns and rural areas, by moving industry and jobs to those regions, in order to reduce the pressure on major cities.
In conclusion, governments could certainly implement a range of measures to enhance the quality of life for all city residents.

题目：As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
范文：
Businesses have always sought to make a profit, but it is becoming increasingly common to hear people talk about the social obligations that companies have. I completely agree with the idea that businesses should do more for society than simply make money.
On the one hand, I accept that businesses must make money in order to survive in a competitive world. It seems logical that the priority of any company should be to cover its running costs, such as employees’ wages and payments for buildings and utilities. On top of these costs, companies also need to invest in improvements and innovations if they wish to remain successful. If a company is unable to pay its bills or meet the changing needs of customers, any concerns about social responsibilities become irrelevant. In other words, a company can only make a positive contribution to society if it is in good financial health.
On the other hand, companies should not be run with the sole aim of maximising profit; they have a wider role to play in society. One social obligation that owners and managers have is to treat their employees well, rather than exploiting them. For example, they could pay a “living wage” to ensure that workers have a good quality of life. I also like the idea that businesses could use a proportion of their profits to support local charities, environmental projects or education initiatives. Finally, instead of trying to minimise their tax payments by using accounting loopholes, I believe that company bosses should be happy to contribute to society through the tax system.
In conclusion, I believe that companies should place as much importance on their social responsibilities as they do on their financial objectives.

题目：Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic accidents. Others, however, believe that other measures would be more effective in improving road safety. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
考官范文：
People have differing views with regard to the question of how to make our roads safer. In my view, both punishments and a range of other measures can be used together to promote better driving habits.
On the one hand, strict punishments can certainly help to encourage people to drive more safely. Penalties for dangerous drivers can act as a deterrent, meaning that people avoid repeating the same offence. There are various types of driving penalty, such as small fines, licence suspension, driver awareness courses, and even prison sentences. The aim of these punishments is to show dangerous drivers that their actions have negative consequences. As a result, we would hope that drivers become more disciplined and alert, and that they follow the rules more carefully.
On the other hand, I believe that safe driving can be promoted in several different ways that do
not punish drivers. Firstly, it is vitally important to educate people properly before they start to drive, and this could be done in schools or even as part of an extended or more difficult driving test. Secondly, more attention could be paid to safe road design. For example, signs can be used to warn people, speed bumps and road bends can be added to calm traffic, and speed cameras can help to deter people from driving too quickly. Finally, governments or local councils could reduce road accidents by investing in better public transport, which would mean that fewer people would need to travel by car.
In conclusion, while punishments can help to prevent bad driving, I believe that other road safety measures should also be introduced.

题目：Wild animals have no place in the 21st century, so protecting them is a waste of resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
范文：
Some people argue that it is pointless to spend money on the protection of wild animals because we humans have no need for them. I completely disagree with this point of view.
In my opinion, it is absurd to argue that wild animals have no place in the 21st century. I do not believe that planet Earth exists only for the benefit of humans, and there is nothing special about this particular century that means that we suddenly have the right to allow or encourage the extinction of any species. Furthermore, there is no compelling reason why we should let animals die out. We do not need to exploit or destroy every last square metre of land in order to feed or accommodate the world’s population. There is plenty of room for us to exist side by side with wild animals, and this should be our aim.
I also disagree with the idea that protecting animals is a waste of resources. It is usually the protection of natural habitats that ensures the survival of wild animals, and most scientists agree that these habitats are also crucial for human survival. For example, rainforests produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide and stabilise the Earth’s climate. If we destroyed these areas, the costs of managing the resulting changes to our planet would far outweigh the costs of conservation. By protecting wild animals and their habitats, we maintain the natural balance of all life on Earth.
In conclusion, we have no right to decide whether or not wild animals should exist, and I believe that we should do everything we can to protect them.

题目：Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define? What factors are important in achieving happiness?
范文：
It is no doubt true that the majority of people would like to be happy in their lives. While the personal nature of happiness makes it difficult to describe, there do seem to be some common needs that we all share with regard to experiencing or achieving happiness.
Happiness is difficult to define because it means something different to each individual person. Nobody can fully understand or experience another person’s feelings, and we all have our own particular passions from which we take pleasure. Some people, for example, derive a sense of satisfaction from earning money or achieving success, whereas for others, health and family are much more important. At the same time, a range of other feelings, from excitement to peacefulness, may be associated with the idea of happiness, and the same person may therefore feel happy in a variety of different ways.
Although it seems almost impossible to give a precise definition of happiness, most people would agree that there are some basic preconditions to achieving it. Firstly, it is hard for a person to be happy if he or she does not have a safe place to live and enough food to eat. Our basic survival needs must surely be met before we can lead a pleasant life. Secondly, the greatest joy in life is usually found in shared experiences with family and friends, and it is rare to find a person who is content to live in complete isolation. Other key factors could be individual freedom and a sense of purpose in life.
In conclusion, happiness is difficult to define because it is particular to each individual, but I believe that our basic needs for shelter, food and company need to be fulfilled before we can experience it.
