Some
people
think
that
students
should
only
study
science
subjects.
Other
subjects
are
not
important
to them. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Model Answer:
Some
people
suggest
that
students
only
study
science
subjects.
Although
I
agree
that
science
subjects are important, I think that
students should also study a variety of other
subjects.
On
the one hand, science subjects should be core
subjects on the school curriculum. In modern
history, science and technology have
been the most influential driving forces behind
productivity
and material prosperity,
and are particularly important in an age of global
economic competition.
The knowledge
gained through science subjects, such as physics,
chemistry and biology, prepares
children for future careers in science,
technology, engineering or medicine. Without
compulsory
science courses, schools
would fail to produce enough young people with
scientific knowledge
and
techno
logical skills for their
country’s economic development.
On the other
hand, people’s well
-being does not only
depend on material success. Other subjects
on
the
school
curriculum
also
serve
the
common
good
and
therefore
should
not
be
ignored.
Music classe
s, for example,
teach children to express their emotions better
and appreciate others’
more.
Also,
art
classes
stimulate
children’s
imagination
and
encourage
them
to
approach
problems
creatively, which helps to prepare a creative
workforce for the future.
Science
subjects
cannot
even
serve
the
common
good
well
if
other
subjects
on
the
school
curriculum
are
not
effectively
or
efficiently
taught.
For
instance,
it
is
hard
to
imagine
that
students can present the results of
their scientific experiments clearly in their
papers if they have
not gained
systematic knowledge of academic writing in their
language classes.
In
conclusion,
I
would
agree
that
a
good
curriculum
should
be
balanced
and
consist
of
a wide
range of areas, including natural
science, social studies, arts and humanities.

:
Using
a
computer
every
day
can
have
more
negative
than
positive
effects
on
children.
Do
you
agree or disagree?
Model Answer:
I tend to agree that young children can
be negatively affected by too much time
spent on the
computer
every
day.
This
is
partly
because
sitting
in
front
of
a
screen
for
too
long
can
be
damaging
to both the eyes and the physical posture of a
young child, regardless of what they are
using the computer for.
The main concern is about
the type of computer activities that attract
children. These are often
electronic
games that tend to be very intense and rather
violent. The player is usually the “hero”
of the game and too much exposure can
encourage children to be self-centred and
insensitive to
others.
Even when children use a
computer for other purposes, such as getting
information or emailing
friends, it is
no substitute for human interaction. Spending time
with other children and sharing
experiences is an important part of a
child’s d
evelopment that cannot be
provided by a computer.
In spite of this, the obvious benefits
of computer skills for young children cannot be
denied. Their
adult world will be
changing constantly in terms of technology and the
Internet is the key to all
the
knowledge
and
information
available
in
the
world
today.
Therefore,
it
is
important
that
children learn at an
early age to use the equipment with confidence as
they will need these skills
throughout
their studies and working lives.
I
think
the
main
point
is
to
make
sure
that
young
children
do
not
overuse
computers.
Parents
must ensure that
their children learn to enjoy other kinds of
activity and not simply sit at home,
learning to live in a virtual world.

With
the
increasing
use
of
mobile
phones
and
computers,
fewer
people
write
letters.
Some
people think that the traditional skill
of letter writing will disappear. To what extent
do you agree
or disagree?
Model Answer:
Mobile phones and the Internet are so
widely used today that many people are concerned
that
letters may completely disappear
from our lives. Although I think this concern is
understandable,
I do not think it will
become a reality.
The
ease
and
immediacy
of
phone
calls,
text
messages
and
e-mails
make
them
attractive
to
people,
especially
to
young
and
busy
ones.
An
e-mail
or
a
text
message
can
reach
someone
thousands of kilometers
away in a few seconds. The same e-mail or text
message can even be
sent to multiple
users at the same time. By contrast, it takes a
letter several days to reach the
recipient.
E-mails and multimedia messages also
allow their users to share pictures and videos and
makes
communication
more
interactive
and
entertaining.
Another
advantage
of
e-mails
and
text
messages is that they can be stored
electronically on servers and mobile
phones, while letters
always need some
physical storage space.
In spite of this, I do not think that
the tradition of letter-writing will disappear.
Letters, especially
handwritten ones,
have a strong personal touch. Letter-writing takes
much more time and energy
than typing
and sending an e-mail on a computer or calling
someone on a mobile phone. This
helps
a
letter
to
express
emotions
more
deeply
than
an
e-mail
or
a
phone
call.
Letter-writing
works
particularly well when we need to express our
sympathy, support or romantic feelings. For
business or official purposes, letters
can also provide the formality that is well-suited
to formal
correspondence.
In conclusion, despite the
advantages that e-mails and mobile phones have in
speed, ease of use
and storage, I
believe that letter-writing will continue to be
useful for a variety of personal and
business purposes.

The news media play an important role
in modern society. Why are the news media so
important?
Is the influence of the news
media positive or negative?
Model Answer:
The news media, such as
newspapers, news magazines, news websites and TV
news shows, are a
very influential part
of our lives.
There are two main reasons why the news
media are important and popular in the twenty-
first
century. The first one is that
news reporting provides people with information
about the events
that
just
happened
in
their
communities,
cities,
countries
or
even
other
countries.
As
we
are
living in a more competitive and
globalised world, people who have access to the
latest news can
usually make better-
informed decisions and therefore have competitive
advantages. The second
reason for the
importance and popularity of the news media is
that people are naturally curious
about
new things. Through media reports we can get new
information about important events
and
celebrities, which not only satisfies our
curiosity but also offers us interesting
conversation
topics.
On
the
other
hand,
nowadays
many
news
media
companies
are
trying
to
increase
their
popularity and influence by adding
entertainment value to their news reports. This
often leads to
false news stories and
results in widespread distrust of the news media.
Another problem is that
many
news
media
networks
today
have
close
connections
with
politicians.
News presented
by
these
networks
is
often
biased
and
is
used
to
manipulate
the
public’s
opinion
to
help
the
politicians gain political advantages.
To conclusion,
it is clear that the increasing influence and
power of the news media is a result of
the knowledge, convenience and business
value that they can provide. However, I believe
that
dishonest journalists and news
media networks who spread false news should be
punished by
the law.
政府类
The government should pa
y
for people’s health care and education. To what
extent do you agree
or disagree?
Model Answer:
Health
care
and
education
are
basic
human
rights
and
needs.
Some
people
think
that
the
government should pay for citizens’
health care and education. I
partly
agree with this view.
There
are
three
main
reasons
why
the
government
should
pay
for
citizens’
medical
and
educational costs.
Firstly, a large proportion of government revenue
comes from the taxes paid
by citizens.
The government should reward taxpayers with health
care and education. Secondly,
international
competition
in
economic
and
technological
fields
is
fierce
today.
The
educational
and health levels of citizens are
important factors influencing the competitiveness
of a country’s
workforce.
By
providing
citizens
with
education
and
health
care,
the
government
helps
to
promote
economic
and
technological
development
and
increase
the
competitiveness
of
the
workforce in the global
economy. Thirdly, there are people who cannot
afford basic health care or
education
in almost every country. If the government did not
pay for their basic healthcare or
educational
needs,
they
would
feel
that
they
are
treated
unfairly
by
the
government,
which
would be a source of social unrest.
However, the
government only has limited financial resources.
If it spends too much money on
health
care
and
education,
other
important
fields
such
as
scientific
research,
infrastructure
development
and
the
pension
system
may
be
under-funded
and
underdeveloped.
It
is
the
responsibility
of
the
government
to
keep
a
reasonable
balance
between
the
educational
and
healthcare needs of
citizens and other financial needs that are also
essential to economic growth
and social
development.
Overall, I believe that the government
should provide free health care and education to
citizens
who
cannot
afford
them.
At
the
same
time,
it
should
encourage
businesses
to
provide
health
insurance to their employees, and fund
public schools with the property tax that local
residents
pay.
These
measures
can
help
the
government
to
keep
its
budget
balanced
and
achieve
more
sustainable economic growth.

例文:
It
is
suggested
that
everyone
in
the
world
wants
to
own
a
car,
a
TV
and
a
fridge.
Would
the
advantages of such a
development to society outweigh the disadvantages?
Model Answer:
It is suggested that everyone in the
world wants to own a private car, a TV and a
refrigerator. I
think whether the
advantages of such a development would outweigh
its disadvantages would
depend on
advances in technology.
Popular consumer goods can generally
make individuals’ lives more convenient and
enjoyable. A
car owner can have a more
flexible schedule than people who rely on public
transport. Television
gives viewers
access to a wide range of information and
entertainment, while refrigerators can
help people to preserve food longer
than leaving it at room temperature. This is why
universal
ownership of these consumer
products is often associated with a higher
standard of living.
On the other hand, the possible risks
of everyone owning these consumer products should
not be
underestimated.
With
current
technology,
more
energy
is
consumed
when
the
number
of
consumer
products
does
not
rises,
which
also
produces
more
pollution.
Sometimes
increasing
ownership of
consumer products does not even lead to greater
convenience or higher efficiency.
In
large cities such as Beijing and Paris, the ever-
rising number of cars has caused serious traffic
congestion and a significant increase
in the amount of time that urban commuters spend
on the
road. As a result, many of them
take public transport instead and leave their cars
in their garage.
There
is
also
the
risk
that
universal
TV
and
fridge
ownership
would
result
in
an
increase
in
sedentary lifestyle habits and people
buying less fresh food.
Therefore,
I
believe
that
unless
future
technological
breakthroughs
could
make
popular
consumer
goods
far
more
environmentally-friendly
and
healthy
choices
than
they
are
now,
universal ownership of
cars, TV sets and fridges would bring more
problems than benefits.
