经典范文：

Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?

With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of

the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused

by the use of cars. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities

recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars in order to control the

number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint,

and my reasons are as follows:

To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of

big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility

of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose

of

collecting

environmental

pollution

tax

is

to

raise

the

fund,

and

then

utilize

the

tax

revenue lever to protect our environment.

Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a

pollution

tax

on

private

cars.

If

people

suffer

from

the

financial

loss

when

making

a

decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when

deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private

cars can be controlled.

In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to

treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private

car owners, should try their best to protect the environment.

经典范文：

Should College Students Hire Cleaners?

According

to

a

recent

report,

six

university

students

hired

cleaners

to

clean

their

dorm and do their laundry every week. Although we have no right to tell them what to do

with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practice absurd.

For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to be independent

adults. Cleaning the room and doing one’s laundry are the most basic living skills. If we

always depend on others to take care of us, how can we survive when there is no one to

help us? How can we take on any responsibility when we step into society?

For another, the practice reflects their flippant attitude towards money. The money

they paid for the cleaners probably comes from their parents, who must be very depressed

once

they

know

the

truth.

It

also

sets

a

very

bad

precedent

on

campus.

Other

students

may follow suit to show the wealth of their families; or worse, they tend to think money

can buy them anything in this world, which obviously is wrong.

All

in

all,

I

think

we

must

do

away

with

this

practice.

Otherwise,

we

may

never

appreciate

the

good

value

of

money

and

an

independent

way

of

life.

The

better

and

sooner we can take care of ourselves, the more proud our parents will be.

经典范文：

Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?

In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that

tourism

produce

positive

effects

on

economic

growth

and

we

should

try

our

best

to

promote

tourism.

But

what

these

people

fail

to

see

is

that

tourism

may

bring

about

a

disastrous

impact

on

our

environment.

As

for

me,

I'm

firmly

convinced

that

too

much

tourists bring harm to the environment.

The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various

ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In order to attract tourists,

a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the

environment.

This

process

usually

breaks

the

ecological

balance

of

the

area.

In

some

mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore

the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come up. Another way

the

development

of

tourism

has

damaged

the

environment

occurs

when

tourists

go

to

scenic

spots.

Some

tourists

don't

have

the

awareness

to

protect

the

environment,

and

ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to

eat, which badly damages the balance of the natural environment.

It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in

mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance

between

satisfying

the

needs

of

tourists

and

reducing

to

a

minimum

the

pollution

they

cause.

The Benefits of Volunteering

China

has

million

Why

Are

there

any

benefits

of

volunteering?

The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, through volunteering we can gain more

experiences. Whatever volunteering work we do, either being a volunteer teacher for a

village school or a volunteer worker in a retired house, we can taste different lifestyles

and broaden our horizon.

Secondly, through volunteering we can acquire the sense of being needed. Many

people

feel

frustrated

with

travails

in

life

and

empty

with

the

cycling

of

working

and

resting. They gradually become numb, losing the sense of being needed. By joining the

volunteer group and offering help voluntarily to people who need it, we may feel happy

and fulfilled again.

Thirdly, through volunteering we can learn more good qualities. Volunteer work

is

team

work,

which

needs

good

cooperation.

We

can

know

people

with

different

personalities and different background joining in the volunteer group and devoting to the

volunteer

work

together.

From

our

co

volunteers

we

can

absorb

many

good

qualities

that could help us be better persons.

In

conclusion,

volunteering

is

of

great

benefit

in

that

we

can

gain

more

experiences, acquire the sense of being needed and learn more good qualities.

Is it wise to make friends online? (2) People’s views about this issue vary from

one

to

another.

(3)

Some

people

think

that

it

is

unwise

to

make

friends

online

while

others

think

that

there

is

nothing

wrong

with

online

friends.

(4)

In

my

point

of

view,

although online friends cannot be always trusted, the benefits far outweigh the risks. (5)

The reasons are mainly as follows:

(6)

First

of

all,

it

is

easy

and

quick

to

get

to

know

people

and

make

new

friends

online. (7) We know friends are indispensable in our daily life but they cannot stay with

us wherever we go. (8) For many people, especially college freshmen, leaving friends and

the

security

of

home

for

a

new

place

where

they

don’t

know

anyone

can

be

overwhelming. (9) With some online chatting tools such as QQ and MSN, they can talk

to people they like and find people with common interests easily. (10) In addition, online

friends

can

help

broaden

our

knowledge

about

different

cultures

and

customs.

(11)

Chatting with people from different places and social backgrounds is surely an effective

way to

understand other cultures and develop

cross- cultural

communication

skills. (12)

We can also practice our English in speaking and writing.

(13)

To sum up, making friends online is amazing. In the online global community we

can

enjoy

an active social

life

with

rewarding experience, so it is

wise to make

online

friends.
