Based on the analysis, all the items can be classified into two categories. When it comes to the first group, breeding played the most important role in land damage with tree-cutting and farming occupying the second and the third position respectively. Africa took the first place (500,380and300), followed by Australia (220,100and 80).The last place was distributed to Europe (110,100and90).Turning to Asia, the story is different. Tree-cutting and farming demonstrated extremely similar damage to land with the former being slightly higher than the later (440and430).And breeding held an opposite position as it did in the other three countries (380).It is worth mentioning that Africa and Asia suffered from much more damage of land than Australia and Europe because of less attention they paid to environmental protection.
It can be seen clearly from the bar chart, breeding was considered the most noticeable reason of land damage in four different areas as a whole.

题目：The table below shows personal savings as a percentage of personal income for selected countries in 1970,1990 and 2000. Canada France Germany Italy Japan UK USA
The table illustrates the dramatic comparison of the proportion of individual income which was saved for seven countries in 1970,1990 and 2000.
Based on the analysis, all the countries can be classified into four categories. In view of Canada, it had the lowest saving rate in surveyed years with the exception of 1990 (5.6℅, 11.5℅ and 1.9℅ for each). As to Germany, its personal savings maintained more or less stable throughout the period (11.8℅ to 13.8℅).Turning to France, Japan, and UK, the story is different. Although the starting of former two were almost twofold of the latter (18.7℅,17.6℅ and 9.2℅ for each), they suffered from a moderate decrease in the first two decades and followed by a partial recovery by the year 2000. When it comes to Italy and USA, they were afflicted with a gradually downward movement during the thirty years. It is worth mentioning that people from Italy attached the heaviest weight to deposit in 1970 (29.5℅), compared to anytime of other countries.
To put all into one nutshell, North American demonstrated least interest in saving money. 不错。7。5分

题目：Some people think the main purpose of schools is to turn children into good citizens and workers, rather than to benefit them as individuals. To what extent you agree or disagree with this opinion?
In this day and age, education plays an increasingly pivotal role in individuals' academic and
1970 5.6 18.7 13.8 29.5 17.6 9.2 8.2 1990 11.5 12.5 13.8 17.6 12.1 8.2 5.5 2000 1.9 13.6 11.8 11.4 13.6 11.1 4.0 social success. Yet when it comes to whether schools should teach students how to be a qualified citizen and worker or only emphasize on academic knowledge and help them to find a decent job which consequently benefit students, people hold divergent views. Personally, I wholeheartedly support that schooling should give priority to guiding students to be good citizens and workers.
It goes without any saying that to benefit students by providing knowledge and marketable skills which enable them to obtain a well-paid profession is school s' primary obligation. Students paying $4000 a year to education institutes are in hope of eventually finding a job which will get him ten times returned by learning the necessary knowledge and skills.
However, no one should fail to realize that inculcate children to be honest and responsible citizens and workers is of paramount importance for schools. First and foremost, educating mind without educating heart is not education at all. It is not unusual that some ever-superior students who won a dozen scholarships or had two PhDs break the law or even end in prison. That is the least thing we would ever expect to see. Secondly, behaving properly and adhering to public morals are fundamental and indispensable parts which enable people to adapt successfully to study, live, work and play in modern society. For instance, a syllabus named „Citizenship‟ is introduced into the curricula of British secondary –level schools, where virtues such as respect elderly, mutual loving and help are instilled into students' mind from early age. And the fact, in turn guarantees the young graduates could achieve success both socially and professionally in their future career.
In conclusion, I concede should provide students with beneficial knowledge and skills for their future. However, schools should shoulder the responsibility to educate students to be good citizens and workers because only equipped with public morals and essential virtues can they achieve individual success in their career and eventually maximize personal benefits.

As a whole, food/drinks/tobacco led the list, followed by clothing/footwear and leisure/education. In view of food/drinks/tobacco, people in Turkey and Ireland attached the heaviest weight to the items (32.14℅ and 28.19℅ for each) while the other three countries, i.e. Italy, Spain and Sweden demonstrated similar interest and enthusiasm for them (15.77℅∽18.80℅). Turing to clothing/footwear, the story is different. Clothing/footwear played the most crucial role in the life of Italy,( 9.00℅). However, people in the other four countries spent almost the same rate of money on dressing (roughly 6.50℅ ). In terms of leisure/education, Spanish had the lowest budget for it,( 1.98℅), which was less than half of that of Turkey (4.35℅). It is worth mentioning that remaining countries dedicated comparatively much less fund to leisure/education (2.21℅ to 3.22℅).
To put all into one nutshell, Turkey enjoyed the highest percentage of consumer expenditure on the surveyed items.

The line graph illustrates the dramatic comparison of the amount of fish and meat people consumed in a European country during 1979 and 2004, measured in grams per person per week.
Generally, the consumption of meat outstripped that of fish. When it comes to beef, its consumption started the year of 1979 in a downward trend from 220 to 170, followed by an upward movement to 240 until 1983. After being almost unchanged in the next five years, the consumption of beef decreased by more than 50℅, just a bit higher than 100 by the year 2004. Although the starting point of chicken and lamb were similar around 150, their consumption went through a completely opposite movement, with the former climbing constantly to 250 while the latter descending to 70 till the year 2004. It is worth mentioning that people' consumption of fish maintained more or less stable in the last two decades except the year 1979 to 1983 saw a steady decrease from 70 to 50,

Based on the analysis, all the cities can be classified into four categories. It is worth mentioning that only people in Frankfurt celebrated a slight decrease of house price from 3℅ in 1990-1995 to 2℅ in 1996-2002 compared to their counterparts in other four cities. In view of Madrid, the percentage change of house price continued its upward trend and doubled in period of 1996-2002, namely 4℅. Turning to Tokyo, its citizens were sad to find that cost of housing began to increase by the end of 1990's (-7℅ to -5℅). When it comes to London and New York, both of them suffered from the most remarkable increase of housing price during the same period, with the former being more noticeable (-7℅ to +12℅), followed by the latter (-5℅ to +5℅).

Some people think people can exploit animals for any purpose they need, while others do not think so. What is your opinion?
In contemporary society, the issue of animal exploitation has been thrown into sharp focus. Some assert that animals can be utilized for any human purposes, while others argue that it is unacceptable to exploit animals for all the benefits of human race. From my own perspective, I am in favor of the latter.
It is universally acknowledged that illegal hunting is becoming increasingly grave. A survey conducted by the Chinese Ministry of Justice shows that over 500 offenses about the illegal poaching and hunting occurred in 2008. What an astonishing figure! The criminals take animals‟ skins, furs and even bones, such as ivory, for the extreme profits. This is because many animals like elephants, whales are becoming rare, even some endangered species have gone extinct. Moreover, for medical research, many animal experiments have been carried out without
concerning the pain of the testing animals. It is inhumane to vivisect the live animals.
记住单数名词不能单独使用。
On the other hand, animals are human‟s loyal friends and useful helper all the time. In the past, our ancestors used pigeons to mail the letters and convey the information. Today animals can be the eyes of the blind, guiding the way and help police to detect the chronic cases. Even a multitude of lonely old people regard the animals as their kids to feed them, because pets can amuse and accompany the old. In addition, animals play a key role in the advancing science. It is evident that using animals to test drug safety are better than human beings.
To put all into one nutshell, I am convinced that animals can bring many benefits to our daily life; nevertheless, we should properly exploit them and try our best to minimize their pain.

The graph indicates dramatic comparison of global water use which changed in the twentieth century, measured in km3.
Throughout this period, agricultural water consumption far outweighed industrial and domestic uses. It underwent a dramatically increasing trend from 500 to 3000. As to industrial and domestic uses, the consumption maintained almost stable at a very low level before 1950, from which point on, both of them grew steadily with the former being more noticeable than the latter, reaching 800 and 300 respectively.
Turning to the table which reveals the difference of agricultural water consumption in Brazil and Congo in the year 2000, Brazil consumed much more water than Congo. This could be obviously reflected by the figure of water consumption per person (359m3 and 8 m3) and population (176 million and 5.2 million). With such a large population, Brazil had a huge amount of irrigated land (26,500 km2), while only less than hundredth of it in Congo (100km2).

The table illustrates the changes in ways of travel in Britain from 1985 to 2000, measured in miles traveled per person annually. Based on the analysis, all the items could be classified into three broad categories: decreasing and increasing ones which could be sub-divided by different changing rates.
The first group consists of walking, bicycle and local bus. All the distances suffered from a decreasing trend, among which local bus took the first place (429 to 274). Subsequently came bicycle (51 to 41). Eventually stood walking (255-237).
When it comes to long distance bus and taxi, the distances experienced a sharply increasing tendency, with the former being more noticeable than the latter (54 to124 and 13 to 42, respectively). Turning to car, train and other mode, the use of them grew steadily. Car ranked first (3199 to 4806), followed by other mode (450 to 585). The last position was distributed to train (289 to 366). It is worth mentioning that the total travel distance had ascended by nearly 50% (4740 to 6475).
In conclusion, with the improvements in living condition and technology, people in increasing number tend to travel more by modern vehicles.

In order to learn a language well, we should also learn about the country as well as the cultures and lifestyles of the people who speak it. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In this day and age, with the development of economy and globalization, learning a second language is playing a pivotal role in our lives. Many people start to learn a language so as to hunt a decent job and get close to the international world swiftly. However how to learn has sparked heated debate. Some claim that to learn a language well, it is imperative to know the local cultures and living pattern as well. As far as I am concerned, I totally agree with them.
First and foremost, it is universally acknowledged that language is an integral part of culture. Specifically, culture is the foundation of language and language is the best expression way of culture. Knowing local culture well can have a better grasp of language. Take the idiom for example. Every idiom has its own background and story. Even if you understand the meaning of every word the idiom consists of, you would not find out the real idea of the native speaker. Moreover, the primary purpose of learning languages is to communicate with others easily. Not just speak fluently, but speak properly. If the learner cannot know the culture well, the dispute and misunderstanding will ensue. For example, Chinese people get accustomed to using “Have you eaten” as an opening remark. However, in foreigners‟ eyes, it seems to be an invitation to dinner. Such instances can be quoted infinitely, whereas this will suffice.
To sum up, I would assert that language goes hand in hand with culture, therefore study of culture and lifestyle can do a great job in learning a language well. The more background knowledge you know, the easier the language you learn.

The graph illustrates the dramatic comparison of the production levels of three main fuels in Britain during two decades between 1981 and 2000, measured in million tons.
When it comes to petroleum and coal, their production started the year of 1981 in a similar position at over 80 with the former being slightly higher than the latter. Then in the year of 1984, production of petroleum reached a high of 105 while that of coal declined to a low of 35. From this point on, the former was blessed with a constantly upward tendency, eventually hitting a peak at 125 in 2000. By contrast, the latter declined moderately from 1986 to 2000, with the exception of a considerable drop to 25 in 1994.
In terms of natural gas, its production maintained more or less stable, at approximately 40 from 1981 to 1993, followed by a constant increase to 100 in the following seven years. It is worth mentioning that the production of natural gas outstripped that of coal from 1993.

The table displays the different percentage represented by the female workforce and managers in five countries.
Based on the analysis, all the countries can be classified into three categories.
When it comes to Australia and United States, the percentage of women who held higher
position was getting close to that of common employees, Australia took the first place (42 and 41), followed by the other one ( ) In view of Egypt, the gap between the women involving in management practice and common affairs was comparatively larger with the latter being almost twofold than the former (20% and 12%).
As to Japan and Sri Lanka, males occupied the majority of working posts, leaving women much fewer chances to top level (20% to 12% and 37% to 9% separately)
To put all into one nutshell, the more developed the country was, the more women who went out for work no matter what kind of level they reached.
Since the development of information technology in the last century, internet and computers have mushroomed quickly. Some people say that they will replace the public libraries which have become such a waste of money for maintaining them. Personally, I disagree with this point because I‟ve listed many benefits from public libraries.
In the first place, public libraries are not only places for reading and searching information, but also for leisure. With the ever-accelerating living tempo and fiercer competition, people in increasing number are inclined to have a busy schedule and live a stressful life. By discussing the topics of common interest such as literature, history and politics with other readers face to face in the libraries, people can relieve great pressure and ignore the annoyance. Granted, to attend some activities to enjoy minority films, which is gaining popularity nowadays, will free people from crazy work and studies.
Furthermore, no one should fail to acknowledge that all the books in the public libraries are controlled by the rigid censorship of Bureau of Culture unlike the ones on the internet. Thus, people, especially teenagers can be avoided to go astray by catching the indecent words and images in the books.
Despite the discussions above, no one can conceal the fact that the wide application of computer and internet in the libraries facilitates the inquiry of bibliography. The computer system spares readers the long queue at the inquiry desk and makes the process of loan more efficient.
To put all into one nutshell, although the computer and internet bring some benefits to us, it is still reasonable to believe that they will never replace the public libraries in the consequence of what I expounded above.

Some people think that criminal should not be imprisoned. Instead, education and job training should replace the former to deal with criminals. To what extend do you agree of disagree?(288个字)
In this day and age, the incidence of crimes has been growing at an alarming rate. Therefore, some people argue offenders should be imprisoned in order to be punished, while other suggest criminals should receive education and job training. For my part, I am identical with the latter by the following sound reasons.
Granted, education and job training reduce the possibility that criminals commit crimes again. According to a survey conducted by China Daily, nearly half of the offenders head for crimes due to their unfamiliarity with laws. They are even not aware of the serious consequence of committing crimes. If criminals are only imprisoned without proper education, when it is time to be released, they still do not realize this point, hence, they are more likely to conduct crimes again.
In addition, it is the education and job training that offer criminals opportunities to gain
academic knowledge and practical skills. Like some petty criminals, lacking formal education and basic skills of survival, they tend to conduct crimes when lured by some temptations. For them, if only imprisoned, that means it denies them the chance to turn a new leaf. When they are released, it is impossible for them to find a decent job and contribute to the society.
However, the funds of such training should be taken into account. There is no denying the fact that governments should allocate funds to recruit a host of teachers to educate criminals, it seems that they have less money to invest into other pressing tasks, such as infrastructure construction and security system.
To put all into one nutshell, it is reasonable that criminals receive education and job training. In terms of funds, governments should do their utmost to optimize economic resources to tackle this issue.

Task 2 Question: Some people think that the government should provide assistance to all kinds of artists includes painters, musicians, poets, however, other people think that is a waste of money for providing this assistance. Discuss it from the perspective of Chinese student.
To be of assistance or not, it indeed is debatable if artists deserve and require funding by the government. Firstly, I acknowledge that the benefits from artists and poets can enrich our everyday lives in so many different ways; otherwise our life would have been a lot drabber without them.
Any genuine artist most certainly deserves some form of aid and there can not be any doubt about that, however, whether they require government assistance is another issue altogether. Contrary to popular belief it seems to be that not all artists and literary personalities are wealthy, and most renowned personalities are deservedly rich and famous.
While the other large group of artists is neither rich nor famous, they do continue to produce the art works as for the passion and often the passion is what drives them. It would be ridiculous to think that any kind of financial incentives could power their creativity. However, not many of them are able to take up their passion on a full time basis because they cannot afford to. It is import to note that most creative artists are made, and were not born so. It is the vagaries of life & struggles that they have to face which fuels their creativity, in the process they need to mature into renowned to be an artist or a writer. When they do and when their work is recognized, there will not be any dearth of money or fame.
In my opinion, it would be criminal to take away this very drive and shun their creativity. Having said that, I do believe that they need to have some kind of incentives, it can be in the way of appreciation and opportunity to present their talent to the rest of the world. This could be done in various ways, for instance, giving tax incentives to amateur artists and writers or financial rebates in government owned auditoriums to stage their presentations.
In talking about artists in Australia, which has a concrete social security system in place to take care of all kinds of basic needs, any kind of added financial incentives are not only an added burden on the taxpayer. It would be an issue to find out worthy beneficiaries and there will be enough crooks who will misuse any well intended government assistance schemes. Every human being craves for recognition and money happens to be one of the means towards this end, however, as I mentioned in the beginning it is more important to acknowledge their work than provide
financial assistance.
On the other hand, as a Chinese, my perception of the government‟s assistance is more questionable. Firstly, we need to give artists a definition and how do you classify a person who is an artist. In essence, calligraphy, poetry, music and art they all can be extended to a person who writes well, paints well in his/her Blog. To extend this artist sense further, can we say a singer is an artist? Well, there are many pop song and folk music singers in China. In the same way, a dancer, a talk show‟s talent, a movie star, the director, the photographer they can all be artists. And this number of artists would add up to whole population of Australia. How could the Chinese government provide any assistance without any discrimination to those artists in every classification? I personally do not believe our government has enough financial ability to accommodate this wide ganging number of artists.
As a Chinese I can see that in my country, there is still a big gap between the poor and the rich, I would rather government‟s financial assistance be directed toward the poor, this does not mean that I would think to provide assistance to artists is a waste of money. My point is that while we can give a true definition of artists, government should use our taxes in a way to be more accountable for.
Chinese culture has more than a five-thousand-year history, have we not seen many arts produced by the poor and without any government assistance. My conclusion as a Chinese, I would prefer that government provides financial assistance to the poor first, and then gives incentives to all kinds of artists.（746words, 这次写长了。）
题目：Contain public libraries is a waste of money, because computer technology is already replaced its function. Do you agree or disagree?
范文：While this statement is true for most of dot.com generations as they are easy to find relevant web articles, they do need the knowledge for goofing (internet surfing) to be able to search the information in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. However, imagine that one neither have computer skill nor IT knowledge, this statement may be too harsh for them.
The main purpose for a public library is not only borrowing books but also to serve the community‟s needs, such as, book club, read hard copy of magazines and newspapers, senior‟s getting together. This benefit provides by the public libraries in our society should not be underestimated.
The computer technology has no doubt at all replaced most of function, that is, we can read books from the academic database; newspapers and publishes from almost everywhere, this means that we do not need many hard copies and environment friendly for the earth. However I am not so much convinced that public libraries can replace other functions that we need other than providing information or books.
The important issue we need to recognize is that there are not many population who can use computer to serve their needs, and even may not afford to own a computer. Some of them are using the public libraries for reading the large print books; others are coming to relax for reading magazines with friends; and the others may just come for a cool spot in a hot summer.
Governments in the world are trying to improve nations‟ lifestyle in every aspects, in this case, how can it be satisfactory to say that take away a public library by replacing a computer is improving our quality life. (282 words)
How important for individuals and countries think about future, rather than focusing on present?（2008年2月16日考题）
Human beings are distinct from the rest of creature due to their ability to meditate, contemplate and probe forward. Not only in the case of individuals, countries alike are not immune from this fate, but there then lies another question: how important for both individuals and countries to think about future ,not just to narrow their mind within the occasion of the present?
What strikes me first is that individuals all have their own plan for life, with differentiated level of looking forward. But one thing would be sure that no matter how far they look ahead, they will certainly hold tight of this plan on the base of the present world to realize it and to look even further. On the contrary, we can find cases of having no plan at all, in which individuals are subject to somehow unpredictable fate for lack of present preparation. Therefore we should balance both future and present , but after all ,we must firstly keep fast hold of the present.
Then when my mind comes upon the matter of countries, things appear quite analogous. For any country, we must have a plan on not just what to do now, but what to do in the upcoming decade, even in some cases, in the advancing century. But as individuals cannot invest their entire mind on their future, countries should also project their heed on present affairs like economic development and national defense. Again, we can happily conclude that countries also root in the soil of presence and then harvest the fruit of the future.
Still I hope every thinking object of the planet give adequate heed on the relation of presence and future, but not just swayed by the gale of metaphysics but also keep hold to the fort of pragmatism.

Nowadays, there are lots of advertisements on television or on the streets. Some people think that the advertising boosts the sales of goods and it encourages people to buy things unnecessarily. This arguments may be true. In my country, many advertising companies produce advertisements with famous and popular actors or singers. People, especially youngsters, buy goods that their favourite singer advertise, although they do not really need the products.
Also, on the television screen, a product may look gorgeous and good quality. As a result of it, people often buy goods without enough consideration. Consumers may not actually need it but they buy goods impulsively soon after they watch the advertising. Furthermore, as many customers buy a particular product due to its advertising campaign, the other people may be affected by the trend, even if the product is not of the real needs of the society.
On the other hand, there are various aspects against these arguments. Moreover, it is people’s choice to make a decision to buy goods. Advertising may be not a cause of customers’ buying habits. Individuals have their own spending habits. If they have got enough disposable income, then the right to make a decision is given to them. No one actually can judge whether the goods sold are the real needs of the society or not.
In addition, as there should be a limited amount of disposable income consumers are able to spend, people try to allocate their budgets. They cannot be simply swayed by those advertisements.
In conclusion, as customers have their own strong opinions and standard of good quality goods, it is better to leave them to make their own decision in buy goods. It is fairly difficult to say everyone is swayed by advertising and buy good impulsively. However, in advertising to those children as children have not got enough ability to control themselves or to know what they need.

Nowadays, it is common to see advertisements on television or on billboards in the streets. Some people think that advertising boosts the sales of goods and encourages people to buy things they do not necessarily need. This argument contains some truth. In my country, advertising companies often produce advertisements featuring popular actors or singers to induce people, especially youngsters, to acquire goods which their favourite actor or singer seems to endorse, whether they need the products or not.
On the one hand, on the television screen a product is always made to look attractive and of good quality. As a result, people often purchase such goods upon impulse. Furthermore, as the number of consumers of a particular product increases under the impact of a persistent advertising campaign, others may be drawn into the trend, creating a large market for products which do not satisfy the real needs of society.
On the other hand, there are various counterarguments to these objections: The decision to make a purchase is a matter of personal choice. Advertising may not be the main cause of consumption habits. Individuals have their own preferences, and if they have enough disposable income it is entirely up to them how they use it. Also, it is doubtful if anyone can have the authority to judge whether goods for sale are really needed by society or not. Finally, as there is always only a limited amount of disposable income for anyone, people try to manage their budgets as best as they can. Advertising can seldom persuade people to spend money that they need for more urgent things, or to spend money that they do not have (for instance, by buying in installments).
In conclusion, as buyers have their own strong opinions and views on what constitutes good quality and on what they need and do not need, it is better to leave them to make their own decisions. It is difficult to claim that everyone is swayed by advertising and always makes purchases impulsively. However, it is a good idea to put restraints on advertising
aimed at children and inexperienced youngsters. Otherwise, they might be persuaded to buy goods that they do not need, or to spend money that they do not have!
Air transport is increasingly used to export some types of fruits and vegetables to countries where those plants can not grow or are out of season. Some say it is a good thing, but others consider this use of transport cannot be justified. What do you think?
Nowadays, there is no denying that air transport has become a heated argument on which people hold quite diverse standpoints. Some people claim that different types of fruits and vegetables can be exported to countries where those plants are everyday requisites that are not available in the market, while others advocate that this use of transport cannot be justified. As far as I am concerned, I am of the viewpoint that it is essentially important to make good use of air transport, provided that it is properly regulated and superintended by corresponding government watchdogs. Firstly, air transport can cater for the basic needs of those people who have almost no access to those daily necessities since these fruits and vegetables are out of their local market. Recent surveys have found that nearly 60% of the countries or regions all over the world have to import goods and products from other countries with an aim to satisfying people's requirements, and among those things from other countries such agricultural products as fruits and vegetables rank in the first place.
Furthermore, air transport can not only boost the local economy but also increase the fiscal revenue of the government. Furthermore, the government can take advantage of the money to improve the living standard of the locals. Only in this way can local residents benefit a great deal form air transport.
Last but not least, air transport allows countries in the world to specialize in the state-of-the-art techniques of manufacturing and processing in order to optimize natural resources that are the most valuable wealth that human beings shall cherish so as to stimulate their economy continuously since the trend of global cooperation and co123boration is inevitable and indispensable.
From the above-mentioned analysis, we can easily reach the conclusion that air transport of fruits and vegetables plays a vital and indispensable role in both people' life and the country's economy, and I have the convicted faith that people will really utilize it positively and proactively. Taske2: many employees’ work at home using modern technology. This is more benefit to workers, not to employers! What extend do you agree or disagree?
Progressions in telecommunications technology have enabled the practice of telecommuting, which means workers can conduct their assigned tasks without having to commute back and forth to work regularly. This emerging working pattern has profound implications on our work and life. Some assert that only workers, not the employers, can be beneficiaries of telecommuting.Personally,I cannot go along with their view.
Granted, telecommuting can bestow numerous benefits upon the employees123 begin with, employees do not have to live with the constant fear that their boss may look over their shoulders, as their work is supervised from far away and in more laissez faire fashions. There is no need for them to get super well-groomed and they can \"slack off\" a bit when the work-induced stress is too intense to bear. They can even do aerobics or take showers to refresh themselves provided they can meet the deadline set by their bosses.Furthermore,telecommuting can spare workers the everyday chore of traveling back and forth to work. And this, in turn, helps them to cut down on
costs of bus fare, fuel or extravagant work clothes.Lastly,telecommuters can dedicate far more time to their spouse and offspring than office-bound workers. This can,doubtless,strengthen their family ties or may even salvage dysfunctional households.
Yet it would be erroneous if we fail to acknowledge the advantages telecommuting can confer on the employers. In the first place, less constraints, less peer pressure at work, no office politics and more flexible schedules can boost employee morale and enhance productivity. Empirical evidence abounds in this respect that more occupational freedom can, more often than not, lead to stronger vocational motivation and more innovative ideas.Hence,employers may well be better off not keeping tabs on their workers nine to five every weekday. In the second place telecommuting work force can help business-owners substantially curtail the overhead costs, such as the costs of rent and utilities.Thirdly,the fact that workers can telecommute via the worldwide communications network allows employers to recruit people from remote locations or even half way around the globe, thereby markedly augmenting the labor pool of businesses. Last but not least, employers will not be plagued by petty concerns such as absenteeism and excessive sick leaves anymore if workers telecommute.
To conclude, I concede that telecommuting can bring about a variety of boons to employees.However,it would be unjustifiable if we overlooked the advantages telecommuting can spawn on the employers' side. And we should strive to seek out the most effective approach to exploit this win-win situation. (Patrick)
University students now focus on a special subject. Some people believe that universities should encourage their students to study a whole range of subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, many students spend time concentrating on their majors while neglecting the study of other subjects. This phenomenon has attracted people‟s attention on whether or not the universities should encourage students to study all the subjects available for them. Some people claim that studying a whole range of subjects may divert students‟ attention on their majors, making the students good at nothing. Some people, on the other hand, contend that learning a variety of things is good for the students‟ development. Speaking for myself, I take sides on the latter.
First of all, learning various subjects can extend students‟ scope of knowledge. People might never realize how little they know about certain things until they read articles or books relevant and even worse when conversations start. Extensive reading of different subjects can help to release the inferior complex when such situation occurs. They may also be proud of themselves and become confident in study since they know a lot. In addition, some subjects can teach students how to balance work and life, comment current affairs and cultivate students‟ common sense of life as well. All these benefits can make students become knowledgeable.
Learning a range of subjects can also add spice to the students‟ studies. Students may be fed up with study when they concentrate on a special subject constantly to the exclusion of other subjects. Despite the fact that studying many subjects can occupy part of the time for students to study their majors, it can facilitate the students to enrich their campus life and maintain their interest in study.
Most important of all, studying more can cultivate students‟ logical thinking and make them become more creative and competent, which is of great significance to their further development. It is commonly believed that most of the subjects are linked to each other, to some extend. With a
range of knowledge, students can find different solutions to approach the problems they encounter either at work or in life, which will definitely make the students more creative and innovative in the field they specialize in. Clearly, the students with all-around knowledge have an apparent advantage over those specializing in only one subject. Thus, students should make effort to acquire more knowledge in their study periods so that they will not be eliminated in the severe competition in the era of information explosion.
In a word, studying a variety of subjects is beneficial to the university students. In this case, not only can the students better themselves, but also become adaptable and flexible in the increasingly challenging and competitive world. It is advisable that students spend time learning more subjects instead of focusing on a specific subject, so that they can prepare themselves and cater for the even-accelerated society.
Topic： It's the only way to improve the safety on our roads that give much strict punishment to driving offence. Are you agree that?
IDEAS：
1.正是因为处罚轻，使得违规驾驶的肇事司机丧无视他人生命及安全，只有严惩，才能防止违规驾驶，确保道路安全。论据：2004年中国大中城市交通事故报告显示：事故原因有80%由违规驾驶所致。大多数司机的安全意识很淡薄。
2.近年来政府加大交通安全的宣传力度，但收效甚微，违规驾驶现象高居不下，只有严惩才能起到杀鸡杀儆候之效
3.以新加坡为例，法律严明，交通事故率极低。
The issue of how to improve the safety on roads has always been the focus of much attention. people come up with various solutions, but some emphasize that the only feasible way is to give strict punishment to driving offence.Personally,I share these people's point of view.
It is much lesser punishment that makes those hit-and-run drivers devoid of the reverence for other people's life and close attention to road safety.---topic sentence An authoritative traffic analysis reporting indicates that approximately 80% of traffic accidents result from driving offence which occurred in large and medium cities in China during the second half of 2004, and the rest of traffic accidents are due to bad weather and poor quality of automobile. These statistics show that most automobile drivers lack the consciousness of safe driving. They deserve severe legal punishment. Only after stricter punishment is carried out can driving offence decrease. In recent years, the Chinese government intensify efforts to publicize safe driving and traffic rules by the mass media(i.e. TV and radio, newspapers, magazines).But that has very little effect on reducing driving offence.Therefore,it's time to beat the dog before the lion! Only strict punishment can play a role of a serious warning to those reckless drivers.
Take an Asian country Singapore for instance. Singapore is well-known for its extremely strict traffic law worldwide. Those who break the traffic rules must be severely punished. Without the supervision of traffic police，an extraordinarily low rate of traffic accidents has been kept for years, which totally attributes to local people's following the traffic rules.
Undoubtedly, improving the unsafe traffic situation is the most vital thing these days.I firmly hold the view that giving strict punishment to driving offence is the unique practicable solution. 媒体类1. paparazzi 狗仔队2. mass media 大众媒体3. entertainment 娱乐4. journalism 新闻业5. journal 期刊6. the latest news 最新消息7. exclusive news 独家新闻8. news agency 新闻社9. news blockout 新闻封锁10. news censorship 新闻审查11. freedom of the press 新闻自由12. coverage 新闻报道13. do
