题及详细解析
作文一：国内国外上大学
Directions: Suppose you are
asked to give advice on
whether to
attend college at home or abroad, write an
essay to state your opinion. You are
required to write at
least 150 words
but no more than 200 words.
参考答案
Nowadays, there has been a
heated discussion as to
a better choice
between attending college at home and
abroad. Views on the topic vary greatly
among people
from different walks of
life. Some believe that it is a
better
choice to study in domestic colleges, but others
consider it better to study abroad. I
totally agree with
the latter idea for
the reasons presented below. To begin
with, it harms the society in that the
greater the
competition is, the higher
the recruitment requirements
will
become. Therefore, with experiences of studying
abroad, graduates will become more
competitive in job
hunting.
Furthermore, it is beneficial to the students
themselves to study abroad. Without the
choice to
2
pursue overseas study, many
great scholars today would
never have
achieved such great success. From my
perspective, it is crucial that the
government should
encourage people to
pursue overseas study. Also it is
crucial that people should understand
the meaning and
value of attending
college abroad. Only in this way can
we
achieve greater success.
作文二：文科还是理科
Directions: Suppose you are
asked to give advice on
whether to
major in humanities or science, write an
essay to state your opinion. You are
required to write at
least 150 words
but no more than 200 words.
参考范文：
Living in a
world which is full of changes and
challenges,we are confronted with new
problems every
single day. Of all the
issues, one might concern the high
school graduates the most, and it is if
there are two
options: to major in
science or humanities. As for me, I
prefer the latter.
3
Why,you may wonder, should
I prefer to major in
humanities. The
reasons responsible for it can be listed
as follows .
Among the most important reasons cited
by people
is that to major in
humanities
，
directly or
indirectly
，
can
not only enrich our basic knowledge
about the
diversified culture but also
sharpen one
’
s insight in
daily
routine
，
which is
of great importance in one
’
s
growth.
What
’
s more, to
study humanities can give us an
independent personality and a deeper
vision towards the
world, if it were
not for those two attributes, how could
we achieve great goals in this dog-eat-
dog world.
Above all, in such a society where
emphasis
，
more
often than not
，
is
laid on the depth of one
’
s
thought, to
choose humanities as
one
’
s major, must be the
best way .
To
major humanities, so at least it seems to me, is
preferable for college students, if
they had the chance, in
the process of
which we will develop an innovative
thought mode.
4
As a proverb
goes ,there is no difficulty that an
innovative thought mode can not solve,
no door that an
innovative thought mode
can not open, no mountain that
an
innovative thought mode can not surmount.
作文三：
选择综合类大学还是职业
题目：
Directions:
Suppose you are asked to give advice on
whether to attend a vocational college
or a university,
write an essay to
state your opinion. You are required to
write at least 150 words but no more
than 200 words.
参考范文：
With the flourish of
education industry, modern
students are
faced with more alternatives to continue
their further education. Both attending
a vocational
college or a university
serves as two main options for the
high
school graduates. In terms of which to choose and
what to be taken into consideration, I
shall advise as
follows:
Primarily, self-orientation
matters the most when it
comes to a
issue like this. Obviously, the main task of
5
vocational college is cultivating human
resource with
practical capability.
Instead, university serves as the
cradle of academic researchers in
different areas.
Therefore, being aware
of your self-expectation with a
clear
future blueprint lays a foundation for this
important decision.
Apart from what has been
mentioned above,
personal interest also
plays a key role in it. For both
passion and motivation are derived from
interest, which
not only decide how far
you can reach academically and
professionally but also how happy and
fulfilled you will
be .
To sum up, a clear
recognition of self orientation
and
personal interest will decide whether you will
tick
the box of vocational college or
university. Only in this
way can we get
the most out of the further education.

According to a series of experiments
