Private cars vs Public traffic

As traffic problems become more and more serious in many cities of developed and developin

g countries, their governments have to try hard and loads of money and energy have been spen

t to deal with them.

Firstly, it is not efficient for the commuters to use their private cars to and back from th

eir workplaces. Occasionally we can see they have to sit on the wheels wasting time and fue

l in a heavy traffic jam. At the same time, through burning the fossil fuels, green house ga

s CO2, CO1, acid rain gas SO2, fumes and dusts are being released into the atmosphere, all o

f which heavily overload the environment. Thirdly, with the increase of private cars, the ro

ad traffic accidents are also rise dramatically. For example, in a city with 5000 cars, ther

e will be at least 250 accidents happening everyday, which also burden the public healthy se

rvices.

On the contrary, expected public traffic may be an ideal solution to these problems. For exa

mple city buses and railways are widely used or being constructed by many cities. People ca

n take buses easily, which can be found every 10 minutes or less in the peak time. Actuall

y, Nottingham Transport Company is building its own light railway in the city, which is anno

unced by the speak man of the company,

“It

will be completed in the next year, the tickets w

ill be very competitive and at the same time the travel will be very safe and

comfortable.”

On the other hand, public traffic had its own disadvantages. Usually it cannot provide door-

to-door service. It is inconvenient to go shopping by public vehicles. Sometimes you must wa

it a long time for the train. And quite a lot of people prefer to enjoy driving.

In conclusion, developing the public traffic is a useful approach to deal with these difficu

lties. One possible way, if not the best, is to taxi private cars heavily and use these reve

nues to provide citizens cheaper public traffic services.

With the development of science and technology, the cars have already become the important c

omponent in our daily life gradually. Cars make our life convenient and swift. However, to

o many cars have caused very serious social problems. Some people claim that the disadvantag

es of car are more than the advantages. I doubt whether the argument can bear much analysi

s.

Since one century [ago], the auto industry has [been] developed at full speed worldwide, an

d has brought the enormous progresses to our life. For example, the car is the most convenie

nt tool of transportation. We can [be] on and off duty by car every day, we can go to trave

l by car on the vacation, we can utilize the cars to deal with some emergency too. The ca

r [is] playing an important role in our daily life. They make our rhythm of life faster an

d 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 t

o people, Give people countless employment opportunities too. Such as, manufacturing industr

y, repairing industry and maintaining industry. We are enjoying the convenience that the car

s bring to us; at the same time we can utilize the auto industry to support

r, we can not ignore that too many cars cause enormous social problems, for example, traffi

c 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 th

an the disadvantages. We should recognize the merit of the cars, and do our best to solve th

e problems. If so, our life will be brighter.

Nowhere in the world has the issue of tobacco been so much debated as in

our society. Nowadays, tobacco is more harmful than drug to

people’s

health, therefore many people think that smoking is legal that is a direct and

primary reason to induce this kind of problem. The above point is certainly

true; this essay will outline three reasons.

The main reason is that tobacco is a silent killer to smokers. Tobacco is

known to be the probable cause of some 25 different diseases, and for some,

such as lung cancer, bronchitis and emphysema, it is the main cause.

According to a WHO report four million people die yearly from tobacco-relate

d diseases, that is one death every eight seconds. Tobacco is significantly

becoming a greater cause of death and disability than any other single cause.

Another reason is that more and more young people are under 18 years old who smoke cigarett

e have been blinded by the deceit of tobacconists. Tobacco among adolescents remains stubbor

nly persistent. Smoking among adolescents rose in the 1990s in several developed countrie

s

，

such as China,Vietnam and Thailand . While new markets are being opened by the tobacco i

ndustry actions, old markets have not been closed. Tobacco is a global threat.

Last but not the least reason is the increase in cigarette smuggling. Because

of tobacco smuggling, the legal retailing and distribution systems are badly

affected, and faced with increased lawlessness and heavy tax losses. This be

havior severely affects the economy.

In conclusion, the tobacco should be considered illegal. Perhaps a pack of

cigarettes is less harmful than another drug, but tobacco is actually the

biggest killer of all the drugs.

Advertisements of tobacco and those of

“smoking

is

harmful”are

often seen

together. But there has been an on- going argument about whether or not

tobacco should be forbidden and made illegal. I have always believed that

smoking should be illegal for the following reasons.

First, smoking does great harm to human health and causes many diseases.

It is reported that more than 70% of lung cancer sufferers are smokers, and

the average life-span of smokers is seven years less than that of non-

smokers. Moreover, it hurts not only smokers, but also the ones around the

smokers. Many researchers claim that breathing

“second

-hand

smoke”

may

be even more harmful than smoking.

Second, many social problems and disasters can be attributed to smoking.

For instance, many wives cannot bear their

husbands’

smoking all the time,

which causes many quarrels, or even divorces. Furthermore, the biggest fire

disaster in China, the Daxinganling fire disaster, was caused by a burning

cigarette end, and the cost of the resulting loss was unimaginable.

Last, smoking tobaccos is a main source of air pollution.A magazine said that

for every cigarette smoked each day,a whole tree is needed to clean the air.

In other words, smoking one less cigar every day equals planting a tree. It

is a brilliant contribution to the earth we are living on.

In a word, all the above demonstrate that smoking harms yourselves as well

as your neighbors, pollutes the air we ourselves are breathing, and even

agitates the social peace. So, in my opinion, tobacco should be strictly

forbidden, and smoking should be made illegal.

there has long been controversy over the legality and apparent acceptance of tobacco in soci

ety .some hold that cigarettes and other tobacco containing products should be banned, tha

t is, treated as ally,i agree with this point of view for the following reas

ons:

although cigarettes do not offer as intense an effect as drugs like heroin and cocaine,the

y rank higher in the level of dependence it creates in the nds of smokers try t

o rid themselves of cigarettes but cannot,because of the physiological dependence they devel

oped,chiefly imputable to its chemical explains why smokers continue their hab

it despite the numerous health warnings. furthermore,medical science has now proved beyon

d a doubt that smoking all the other causes of preventable deaths such as alcohol,

illegal drugs,aids,suicide,road accidents,fire,and guns,cigarettes still account for more pr

eventable deaths than all of those combined.

more disturbingly,whilst the use of heroin is dangerous solely to the users,the use of tobac

co endangers those who are in their vicinity as well. this phenomenon, known as passive smok

ing, nulls the counter- argument that putting one's own health at risk through smoking shoul

d be up to one's own individual s have shown that the amount of second-hand smo

ke inhaled by a typical nonsmoker is equivalent to one cigarette smoked per day,and what i

s more,passive smoking can increase a nonsmoker's chance of getting cancer by ten to thirt

y two per cent.

there are those who will say that the black market created by outlawing tobacco will produc

e deadlier cigarettes because the product standards of the bootleggers are not as

er,we should all bear in mind that legal cigarettes cause roughly four hundred thousand deat

hs a is hard to imagine the limited distribution provided by the criminal underworl

d could compete with this tragic figure.

to sum up, the harm visited upon our society by tobacco usage is will be n

o solution other than to control tobacco much in the same way that the government now contro

ls drugs which could allow people to remain attentive to the seriousness of the effects of t

hese substances,and hopefully to prohibit their usage.

Apparently, it would seem that tobacco is totally different substance from drugs, and it ca

n be used freedom by public. In fact, however, our authority should make tobacco illegal a

s well as drugs, and using of tobacco should be controlled strictly.

Tobacco only can be used for research and medical purpose. As far as I am concerned, as a ki

nd of dope, tobacco has been widely used to help patients alleviate their pain in surgery. A

t the same time, ordinary people should not be allowed to access it legally for two main rea

sons.

Among countless factors which influence my inclination, there is a most conspicuous one: i

t is harmful that smokers addict to tobacco. Many decades ago, scientists have already foun

d that there is a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, cardiac disease an

d lung cancer. More seriously, it not only has negative influence for smokers, but others li

ving or working in same surrounding, even the next generation of a smoking pregnant women ma

y be harmed by so-called

“second

hand

smoking”.

Research shows that sometimes

“second

han

d

smoking”

is more dangerous than smoking directly, because, at least smokers can get the p

rotection from filter tips to some extent. Thus, compared to the hazard of drugs, tobacco ca

n involve more other innocent people and harm their health unknowingly.

The second aspect relates to the problem that our natural resources and money are wasted sen

selessly during the course of planting, transporting and manufacturing tobacco. In light o

f a statistics, China consumes nearly 1,000 tons of wood fibers to produce cigarettes annual

ly. Besides, the investment absorbed by tobacco manufacturers every year, is enough to solv

e all financial troubles that higher education have to face. Obviously, if tobacco is banne

d by our governments, it means that considerable money will be saved.

In summary, judging from all the evidence offered, we may safely arrive at the conclusion th

at tobacco should be forbidden as well as drugs except for a few special purposes, such as r

esearch and medicine.

补充

With the development of society, our life and working pressure are greater and greater. In t

his way, a lot of people have become smokers. Tobacco, as a kind of drugs, prevails in the s

ociety. Some people hold the opinion that tobacco should be given freedom be use, but other

s, in contrast, deem it should be made illegal as the same way as other drugs and that is al

so my point.

Medical science proves that smoking can cause the heart diseases, lung cancer, and the immun

e system diseases. These diseases are all mankind's healthy enemies. The statistics have sho

wed that people who die of the lung cancer, over 90% are smokers. In these smokers, 85% ar

e chain smoker. So, obviously, there is enormous danger to the human health in smoking.

In addition, smoking not only dangerous to smoker, but also do harm to people at smoker's si

de. The tobacco contains a large number of noxious substances, such as nicotine. Just as a f

amous physician says, smoking is equivalent to commit suicide chronically.

However, the cigarette can really relax our nervous nerve, within short time. People, especi

ally, who have heavy working pressure, are prone to produce sense of relying on to cigarett

e. Moreover, as everyone knows, a lot of countries impose the heavy taxation to tobacco manu

facturer and seller, thus, if the tobacco business is considered as the illegal activitie

s, the revenues of the country will be reduced correspondingly.

In a word, the danger to people of cigarette is obvious. Though it can help us flee away fro

m pressure, this to use health as cost. Our government should forbid the production of the t

obacco, make our world fresh and nonpoisonous.

Although it is a freedom to use tobacco{

} while some people think it should be made ille

gal as the same way as other drugs. To what extent do you agree or disagree

？

What’s

your o

pinion?

A:

Tobacco should be made illegal, I agree with this idea personally. I hope most drugs can b

e made illegal, because, as far as I know, they are bad to our health. However, currently mo

st countries still keep it free to use tobacco, and this situation seems to be very hard t

o change in a short time.

From my own experience, using tobacco is not a good thing, especially using is for a long ti

me. It will lead to many kinds of diseases, more importantly, many of them are fatale. One o

f my friends died from using too much tobacco, and it is believed there are many more peopl

e like this. The other thing that I am concerned of is, if a country

doesn’t

make using tob

acco illegal, many young people will have a chance to use it, i.e. students. It is very dang

erous, because if someone gets addicted to this when he is very young, he will then almost s

urely have a big health problem when he is old.

I am happy to see that, although it is free to use tobacco in many countries, most of thos

e countries still somehow try not to encourage people using it. For example, tobacco adverti

sement is banned in many countries, and for many countries, smoking is banned in public plac

es. Overall, most countries are trying to stop the use of tobacco, though it will take somet

ime. In my opinion, it is essential to limit the use of tobacco, and I hope everyone

doesn’

t use.

Nowadays, the gap between the city and the countryside becomes more and more overt, which ar

ouses colossal concerns. To understand the solution,

let’s

take a closer look at the cause

s of the gap at first.

The main reason of the gap is the unequal investment between city and rural area. China i

s a typical example. While more and more money is being invested to the coastal areas and bi

g cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, the lack of investment barriers greatly the societ

y development of rural area and western regions

The low education level partly sharps the gap. There is no doubt that the prime force of pro

ductivity is education. However, because of poverty, thousands of people go to work withou

t graduating from primary school. The poorer, the few children go to school. This bad cycl

e finally leads to the dream of rich becoming a dream that is hard to realize.

Moreover, the rural area is short of people with high quality. A survey proved that most o

f university students, whether they come from city or countryside, choose big cities instea

d of poor areas to work. The rural area can neither adept talent man nor attract talent ma

n. No wonder the gap is increasing largely.

Hence, The government ought to knock itself out to decrease the gap as soon as possible. Fir

st, balance the investment between city and rural area. In addition, the education level sho

uld be improved, especially pay attention on raising high quality people. Besides, let mor

e people realize the latent capacity of rural area in order to attract talent and investmen

t. The set up of CCTV channel12-western region channel is a good example.

Only when the ways mentioned above are realized step by step, can the gap between the citie

s and the countryside be bridged.

Nowadays, many people argue against the government putting money on

building theaters and sports stadiums. They have claimed that medical care

and education would benefit the citizens and the country much more.

However, I believe it is worth building more theaters and arenas.

First, stadiums and arenas provide ideal places for people to have physical

exercises and entertainment. After a whole

week’s

hardworking, people can

enjoy a wonderful football game in the weekend, and refresh themselves

with a good relaxation there. Moreover, the physical exercises are good for

people’s

health, which will ease the pressure of medical care.

Second, theaters and museums can be used as base areas of culture and his

tory education. The British Museum, which is the largest one in the world,

provides visitors with knowledge about the world culture and the arts. The

visitors to the museum are all overwhelmed by the magnificence of the

cultural and historical displays featuring

mankind’s

achievements. In additio

n, the performances shown in the theaters will also greatly enrich the lives o

f citizens. People can enjoy ballet, symphony, and Peking Opera in a theater,

which contain the soul of Chinese and western cultures.

Third, running theaters and stadiums can earn much this amount

of money can do great contribution in other fields, including medical care,

and education. After winning the Olympic 2008,Beijing made a plan to spend

160 billion RMB building an Olympic Village. This will surely attract many

sports fans to China, which would be much rewarded, not only in economy

but the whole society.

You can tell form my commentary above,since building theaters and stadiums

benefit not only individuals but also the state, it is very worthy of these

the government should speed up the pace of the constructions.

An argument often heard these days is that whether or not the government should put money o

n building theaters and stadiums. Some believe that instead of spending money on this are

a, Medical care and education, both of which are basic developing factors of one country sho

uld be spent more money on. After weighting the pros and cons, I disagree with this opinion.

Firstly, theaters and stadiums are best choice for people relaxing. Most of workers, especia

lly white collar who often feel nervous after one

day’s

hard work, need to relax both menta

lly and physically. Compared with staying at home, it is much better way to stay in comforta

ble theater and listen to a wonderful concert.

In addition, going to theaters and stadiums affect the same effect as education and medica

l care. Having more chances to go to theaters can help them mold character. There is no bett

er way to keep healthy than doing proper sports in the daily. In this way, the culture and h

ealth will be improved greatly, which plays the same role of education and medical care.

Moreover, theaters and stadiums are basis essential facilities to a developed city. Take hol

ding an Olympic games as an example, it is no doubt it will take millions of money to buil

d stadiums. Why the winner country is proud of that. Because this is a confirmation given b

y whole world.

Of course I

don’t

mean that the more theaters and stadiums, the better society will be, aft

er all, nothing can take the important place of medical care and education.

In summary, the key point is to keep both of this two part developing. Only in this way, ca

n all people live better in future.

Recently, a criticism often heard is that the government tends to put too much money on buil

e two main reasons:

What strikes me most of all is that theaters and sports stadiums provide ideal places for pe

ople to build up a world of relaxation. After five days of hardworking, people can refresh t

hemselves by taking physical exercises and enjoining a football game there. Meanwhile, exerc

ises is to health what water is to fish. The physical exercises can benefit

people’s

healt

h, which will surely ease the pressure of medical care. Moreover, it provides people a goo

d opportunity to enter into communion with each other, which will benefit

people’s

mental h

ealth.

Beyond this, it is also of paramount importance to use theaters and museums as the

“social

c

lassroom”

of culture and history education. The Sydney Opera House, which is the mother an

d father of all modern landmark buildings, has come to define not only a city, but also an e

ntire nation and continent. The opera house shows the concept of modernism and the never pro

perly finished inside provides visitors with a story of its creator Jorn Utzon. In additio

n, the performances which contain the soul of human civilization shown in the theaters wil

l also greatly enrich the lives of people from all over the world.

Certainly, medical care and education both play dominant roles, but building theaters and sp

orts stadiums will benefit not only the individual both mentally and physically, but a natio

n and continent permanently

Some people said the government shouldn't put money on building theatres and sports stadium

s, they should spend more money on medical care and education. Agree or not agree?

Government, as the controller of the macroeconomy, usually put large amount of money on buil

ding theatres and sports stadiums to stimulate the consumption. Especially when globle econ

omy is in recession, stimulation is one of the methods for government to catch the

economy’

s fall. However, to my opinion, government should spend more money on medical care and educ

ation.

For men, health and education are the basic elements for development. We often say health i

s the best wealth. Without health, even if you are a millionaire you will not enjoy your li

fe. The society needs more medical care to ensure people to live happily and create more fo

rtune. This is a physical base for development of society. The spiritual foundation shoul

d be obtained from education. Only with more knowledge, can we catch up with the improvemen

t of economy, society and technology. We need healthy people and brilliant minds to chang

e our world into a better one. Theatres and sports stadiums are signs for higher standard o

f living. Compared with the basic development factors, they are minor.

Insufficiency in medical care and education will impose great stress on poor people and prod

uce unstable factors for society. If government invested too much on recreational places, i

t has to lessen the expenditure on medical care and education since the total amount of dist

ributable money will not be changed. Such action will do little influence on riches, but af

fect poors greatly. They

can’t

take out money from their own pockets to see doctors nor pu

rsue higher education. Dissatisfaction for government will arise gradually. Then, how lon

g the government can exist with the society fluctuated?

To make all people live and work in peace and contentment and to be a long-last power, gover

nment should do more to secure

people’

s

basic rights. Establishments for improving living s

tandards are in second place.

v108 Some people said the government shouldn't put money on building theatres or

sports stadiums but should spend more money on medical care and education. Do you

agree or not agree?

Theatres and sports stadiums are facilities with the purpose of enriching

people’

s spiritual life. However, some people claim that the government should spend mor

e money on medical care and education rather than on such recreational programs.

As a matter of fact, these people fail to realize the essence of this issue. I di

sagree with this statement for the following reasons.

First, with the development of society, the basic material needs for people has m

ainly satisfied, a more important task for the government is to improve

people’s

spiritual life. Human beings differ from other animal species in that we live no

t only for prolonging our lives, but also for spiritual pursuit.

Second, entertainment projects contribute to the development of economy, as well

as collect money to solve peop

le’s

basic needs. An typical example can be found

in the fact that every country is eager to win the right of hold the Olympics mai

nly because of the economic benefits it brings. Another example is that many spor

ts and cultural activities have donated a considerable amount of fun for benefic

projects.

Last but not least, entertainment and cultural services also play an important ro

le in education as well as improvement of

people’s

health. As the living standar

d enhance, people tend to not only go to school for education, but also go to the

atres to receive another form of education. Sport facilities such as stadiums pro

vide opportunities for people to exercise their body.

According to the reasons I give above, it can be concluded that entertainment and

cultural constructions are worth building. The statement that government shouldn

’t

put money on them is invalid.

The reason that government- who is in dispose of public money-is elected primari

ly to improve the social welfare of its people. As long as people in a society la

ck the basic need, such as medical care or education , the use of public funds to

support theatres and sports stadiums is inappropriate-and, perhaps, even cruel-

when one considers all the potential uses of such money.

According to the psychological pundit Maslo, human needs can be classified into f

ive categories: survival, safety and love, others recognition, self-realization,

and spiritual refinement. Among the five categories, the need for medical care an

d education is on the lowest floor of the pyramid and is also crucial.

The basic function of theatres and sport stadiums is to give people large extent

of pleasure in order to ensure them to work more effectively and efficiently to c

ontribute more to the society. While them, classified into the category of spirit

ual refinement, is at the pinnacle of the pyramid. If we to realize our spiritual

refinement, we should first fulfill our basic need. Or our seemingly resplendent

pyramid is on the verge of collapse due to its lack of a solid plinth.

The first and foremost step of its aim to fund medical care and education is t

o satisfy basic need. In case that such the condition as described in the topic h

appened (though very rarely), the government will be overturned. See multitudes o

f revolts of peasants in

China’s

history.

Even though

people’s

basic needs can be fulfilled, the society, especially the g

overnment, should not use all its money to the theatres and sports stadiums, a pr

oper proportion of the investment must be considered exactly.

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

First, it is the teacher who creates the software used in class. For example,

the software may be an outline of the

teacher’s

you listen to som

e 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

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

The computer is widely used in education

，

and some people think teachers d

o not play important roles in the classroom. To what extend do you agree or

disagree?

In this period of communication,computer has been used in all kinds of fields

widely, and plays a particular role in our lives. Especially computer has

become more and more important in educational field, therefore dozens of

people considered teachers could be replaced computers that will go with the

current of the times. The above point is certainly wrong; this essay will outl

ine three reasons.

The main reason is that

people’s

brain better than computer. Firstly, people

design all kinds of

computer’s

programs. Secondly, computer

doesn’t

hav

e logistic ideation. Computer only can defend on that designer inputted

computer’s

programs to judge a

question’s

right or wrong. In other words,

computer

can’t

defend on thinking that computer independently analyzes a

question’s

right or wrong. In case, designer inputted programs that are

wrong. Computer output the result that also will be wrong. If this kind of

problem happened in classroom, students would be infused plenty of wrong

information.

Another reason is that

computer’s

programs designed software of education

that could be amended software of education of bugs were foun

d, commonly these of problems

couldn’t

be solved in the classroom. The so

ftware was amended that means total of program were corrected, not only

parts of program were inserted or amended usually.

Last but not the least reason is computer is mechanical,it

couldn’t

be suited

all kinds of students and different demands. As

students’

intellect is differe

nt, same of software

couldn’t

base on every status of student to set a perf

ect project.

In conclusion, computers

couldn’t

instead of the position of teachers in the

classroom, however computer is an absolutely good helper for teacher

In this IT age, computers are widely used in the classroom in order to enrich the methods o

f teaching. This phenomenon gives some the illusion that the thing teaching students is no l

onger the teacher but a computer. Personally, I disagree with this opinion.

As another machines, computer

doesn’t

enable to control itself. Though computers are capabl

e of learning from their mistakes and improving on their performance, they need details inst

ructions from human being in order to be able to operate. They can never, as it were lead in

dependent lives, no mention teaching students. In case a computer lacks the control of a tea

cher, there is no difference between a computer and waste.

Not only this, but computers, unlike a teacher,

can’t

solve a variety of new problems. Ever

ything is developing in

today’s

society, including education. For example, a student sudden

ly asks a creative question that the computer

isn’t

programmed for, it can do nothing, whil

e teacher can explain clearly though abundant teaching experience.

Last but not least, the computer

can’t

communicate with students from emotion. Such as an e

yesight or gesture of teacher can transfer his or her idea and feeling to students. In thi

s way, students can feel more human touch in the class. In comparison, the computer is too d

ry and dusty to understand.

All in all, no matter how nice a computer is, it

can’t

take the place of teacher. Of cours

e, I

don’t

mean that computer is useless. In contrary, I believe it will become the most po

werful assistants to teacher in further.

Computer, the most exciting and significant invention in 20 century, will reshape our live

s and our world. As a result, some people proclaim that computers should be involved into ou

r classroom, and replace the roles of human teachers. However, I cannot agree with their poi

nt of view.

Admittedly, as the useful tools, computers can become the optimum assistants for human teach

ers in the classroom. To beginning, vivid pictures shown on screen can motivate

students’

i

nterest and curiosity dramatically. Moreover, the combination of computers and Internet ca

n provide children the abundant information. Although computers enjoy considerable merits, t

hey cannot compare with human teachers for two main reasons.

Among countless factors which influence my inclination, there is a most conspicuous one: com

puters are not as qualified as human teachers in academic fields. As we all know, students c

an get the final result of a mathematic question under the help of computers, however, the

y are still confused on the whole computing process. By contrast, our human

teachers’

perfo

rmance is much better in those cases. They not only can teach students how to analyze and co

mpute the question, but also can remind them what are the possible errors that they may mee

t. Thus, human teachers are more adequate than computers in academic aspect.

The second advantage of human teachers is they can guide students to deal with some psycholo

gical problems that they meet in schools. In China, sometimes, teachers even burden many res

ponsibilities that

students’

parents have. For example, as for the student with rebellious s

pirit, the important duty for teachers is to prevent the student from campus violence, eve

n crime. Obviously, computers cannot do that.

In summary, from what has been discussed above, we may safely arrive at the conclusion tha

t the positions of human teachers are unshakable, and computers cannot take the places of th

em.

however,in practice and learning of complex questions,computer can never replace the humai

in addition,various teaching methods can help student absorb the knowledge stud

“

Get up, boy, it is time to go to

school.”

“

I dislike having get up early. I can take an on-line lesson at anytime I

like.”

It is a completely ordinary dialogue occurring in modern life. Yes, it is the com

puter, whose ever-accelerated updating brings about tremendous changes in our sch

ool lives. A typical application is Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI), which ai

ds teacher to impart knowledge to student more efficiently by

it’s

multimedia ch

aracters. However, a vigorous debate over the issue whether or not teacher are by

no means important in pedagogy field has intrigued the public. In my submission,

the computer can be great help of teacher but they can never replace or surpass

the position of teacher. I will offer the following reasons.

Firstly, CAI are designed and programmed by human instructor. They only condense

parts of

teacher’s

experience and intelligence. Moreover, being a successful ins

tructor requires not just these factors but a wealth of experience and interpret

new experiences using that information. The computer after all are man-made machi

ne.

Secondly, the progress of instruction is complicated and complex, and the educati

onal achievement of CAI is limited. Some sorts of course, such as basic education

al course(

想想什么课程用电脑教不好

), are not necessarily to be expressed by the

computer to reach productive effect.

Finally, communications and interactions with teacher and computer are quite diff

erent. The latter is too impersonal, which ruins the pleasure of emotional exchan

ges. Sometimes gazing at the cold flickering screen is a disinteresting and tirin

g experience.

Admittedly, though computer may help teacher to provide student with a richer and

more effective learning environment, yet they can not substitute the position of

teacher, not only today, but the future.

Computer, as the most powerful tool in 21 century, is widely used in education areas. Whethe

r computers can instead of teachers become a controversial issue. From my point, I

don’t

th

ink computers can take the place of teachers.

First and foremost, computer cannot communicate with students. Every human being has feelin

g. Teachers are not only teaching students knowledge but also showing their loves to student

s when they are teaching. How to have a conversation with others and how to take care of oth

ers can be learned from teachers. For example, teacher can take you to the hospital when yo

u are sick. In comparison, computers cannot likely to it.

Secondly, computers cannot help students when the get confused. Asking teachers is the bes

t way to do when students get any quires. However, computers do not have this function. Stud

y is a two-way process, teachers can excite

students’

imaginations and fire their creation

s.

Last but not least, computers cannot organize teaching activities instead of teachers. Tak

e England as an example, students need to do a lot of practical experiments, especially in p

hysics and chemistry. When they do these experiments, students usually work together as a gr

oup and discuss with teachers. Team work is a very important part to shape

students’

person

alities.

From what has been discussed above, we might safely say that computers can never take the pl

ace of teachers. We should always remember that human beings are the host of technology an

d computer is a machine no matter how clever it is!

Teachers

The computer is widely used in education and some people think teachers are not playing an i

mportant role in the classroom. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

With more and more extensive use of computers in education, some people claim that the impor

tance attached to teachers has been jeopardized. Therefore, computers will replace teacher

s in the classroom. However, it seems quite clear to me that learning from teachers is the m

ost important way that cannot be substituted for students.

Naturally, some people maintain that computer should instead of the old way of educatio

n. They hold that the strong function of the computer offers a new mode of education, whic

h is more interesting, more vivid and more acceptable by children. The students will not fac

e to the serious teachers and calm classes any more, which are replaced by a brand-new worl

d offered by the Internet. In addition, this can decrease the investment on the foundationa

l education and save the human resources and material resources.

As an assistant, computers do help teachers with their work, but they can never replace th

e important role of a real teacher. The main functions of any computer are storage and calcu

lation. It cannot think on its own anyway. All the teaching data stored in computers are th

e essence of teaching experience generalized by many teachers during their work. Hence, to a

ssist education, what a computer can do is just to repeat the contents summarized by real te

achers.

In addition, each student has different talents and different defects, and accordingly, the

y may come across various problems during their study. Computer programmer designing the sof

tware, however, cannot predict these problems. Therefore, a single computer can never solv

e these problems without a

teacher’s

guidance

Furthermore, if the significance of teacher has been weakened, the number of teachers may b

e decreased, that is to say, many teachers may be laid-off. If such a case comes to realit

y, series of social problems will break out, such as the drop of working opportunity which w

ill surely make the burden of whole society become heavier and heavier.

In conclusion, although computer-aided- education has spread widely, teachers still play s cr

ucial part in the classroom, which cannot and will not be replaced by computer.

，

and some people think teacher ar

e not play important role in the classroom .

To what extend do you agree?

Computers nowadays are more and more widely used in education. Hence, some people

claim that teachers are no longer playing important roles in the classroom. I co

mpletely agree with this statement. Although teacher may be more emotional than c

omputers, the later actually far outdoes in educating students, for the following

three reasons.

First, it is an undoubted fact that computer are more likely to provide sufficien

t information to students. Neither a well trained graduate from education institu

te nor an experienced teacher can offer more knowledge than an advanced computer.

Human brain is more suitable for creative activities, but not in conveying infor

mation. As a result of the rapid development in technology, the

computer’s

capac

ity of containing information will become much stronger.

Second, computers are more efficient in educating students than teachers, not onl

y because they will merely make mistakes, but also due to that the will not feel

worn out after a long time of work. It goes without saying that teachers are some

times complained to transfer mistaken messages to students. And the latter, lack

of enough related knowledge, finally become the victims of such mistakes. Further

more, as they were so tired after a whole day working, teachers are often slow in

reaction while asked questions by students. Computers, which can never effected

by emotional factors, have no such disadvantages.

Last but not least, children are becoming more and more familiar with computers w

hile they are being taught by this new technology.

It’s

widely accepted that com

puter has become an essential tool for our daily life. Children could learn how t

o master it better by the process of being educated by it rather than taking an i

ntentional class presented by a teacher. Classroom, as everybody believes, is a p

lace where students learn knowledge and skills, both academic and practical. So i

t should be the duty for school to prepare students for the computer-oriented soc

iety.

All in all, although teachers still contribute to education, we

can’t

turn a bli

IN certain respects, children are the same all over the world. But many

factors affect the development of children, both parental support and

education being major influences. There are vast differences between

schooling styles, and parental attitudes towards children, in China and the

West.

Some of these differences have obvious causes, for example, the

Emperor

offspring. However, the concentration of energy invested into planning for a

child's future is noticeable in China, as it is not diluted by the presence of

siblings.

This adoration can be seen in other ways. One of the most common is

spoiling children, giving them everything they want. Some of the time this is

a reward for good work, although there are children who receive all they wa

nt merely because they demand it from their parents.

Hard work?

Parents also have this tendency to spoil children in the West. If a child does

start to see itself as the all-deserving star of the Universe,usually its siblings

will tease and bully the child until it stops feeling self-important.

Another contrast between the upbringing of children in China and the West is

in schooling. Without a doubt, Chinese children work harder than their

European and American counterparts. Their industriousness is admirable, and

in comparison, Western students are lazy. In European countries, teenagers

will often have a Saturday job, or holiday job, to supplement their allowance.

This is rare in China,where education is considered of paramount importance,

and time working detracts from same contrast is true of romantic

relationships between teenagers. I spoke to Han Li, a 16-year old student in

Huhhot, about boyfriends. She said:

I did want one. I must study hard, there is a lot of pressure on me to get

good grades and go to university.

The style of teaching is very different in China from in the West. The notion

of

and Europe. Large class sizes may be the reason for the popularity of this

teaching method. In England, any class over 30 is considered large enough

to impair learning. However, I have noticed that this parrot-style of learning

is being replaced with more progressive methods of education in many

Chinese schools.

The perfect solution would be to combine Western and Chinese education

methods. Combat the laziness and apathy of Western students; encourage

initiative within Chinese students, by expecting independent thought as

opposed to mindless repetition. As for spoilt kids anywhere, some of these

children would benefit from a smack on the bum.

There has been an argument on personality and

individual’s

development fo

r 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

children are very young, they try to imitate their

parents’

behaviors, and

run into some manners. After going to school, different education systems an

d 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 environmen

t. So, in my opinion, environmental influence and education will ultimately

decide

one’s

personality and development.

Nowhere in the world has the issue of

children’s

education been so much

debated as in our society. Nowadays, many parents let their children attend

all kinds of courses that will help children to get a better future; therefore,

some people think that the postnatal nurture is more important than the

congenital factors for personal growth and progress. The above point is

certainly true; this essay will outline three reasons.

The main reason is that success of a child would not be separated from right

teaching and personal effort. Currently, lots of famous scientists and

politicians gain huge success in the world, as they are long-term to hard

work. Moreover, the main reason why plenty of developing countries drop

behind is their poor education.

Another reason is that if people do not work hard but only depend on their

high intellect, they will be far from successful. For instance, the little Bronte

was quite clever during his childhood; he was particularly adept at writing.

But he was so satisfied with his superior intellect that he did not study

carefully. Finally, he became an idle person. However, his sisters became

famous authors as a result of their hard study. They are Charlotte Bronte

and Emily Bronte. Charlotte wrote

“Jane

Eyre

“,

“Wuthering

Heights”

was

written by Emily.

Last but not the least reason is the advantages of natural factors that are

more and more of advanced technological products are invente

d and widely can supply

people’s

the past, the difference

of mathematical ability was remarkable. With the invention of the calculator,

people can hardly find out the difference.

In conclusion, scientific and proper teaching is the most significant factor for

personal growth and development. If people are satisfied with their

advantages, they will become the biggest failures.

Nowadays, most of children are the center of a family, so the issue about which play

s major role in personality, nature or nurture, is paid increasing attention by parents. A

People's character will affect greatly by the people around them especially their parent

s. The survey proves the possibility of commit of person who deleted born in a family whic

h have a crime is one to four times higher than the normal family's person's. To image, whe

n a child shape character, always have a bad example around him or her, no wonder the crim

e possibility is much higher. So just as the saying goes:

Body 1 (95words)

Reportedly there was a maid, a countryside girl with only an educational background of prima

ry school, working for an American professor who worked in Shanghai Jiaotong University, Chi

na. After two years of stay at the learned and exotic surroundings, amazingly this plain gir

l could speak fluent English and started to help the host to receive and send e-mails to hi

s students. When the professor left for New York later, soon she sought a post at a multinat

I will then go on to examine my position by offering other facts. It is well believed that o

verseas graduates who once furthered their education in foreign universities are taking incr

edible places in China because these elites have a broader way of thinking and their bilingu

Which element between nature and nurture plays the major role in

children’s

personality an

d development is always a controversial problem. Of course, which you prefer depends on you

r own experience, life style and emotional concern. Here, I would like to illustrate my poin

t of view about it.

Admittedly, different nature determines people have distinguished starting points in their l

ifetime. To beginning, in light of medical research, a

person’s

blood type has considerabl

e influence to his character. General speaking, for example, a person whose blood type i

s A means that his personality is amiable and tender probably. Besides, the physical conditi

on, even appearance may influence a

person’s

development. Statistics shows that beautiful p

eople are more confident than others, because they do not need to worry about the prejudic

e from public. Obviously, some parts of our personality have been decided when we born.

On the other hand, although nature is important during the course of shaping personality, w

e cannot ignore another essential element, nurture. There are many factors which affect th

e development of children, both parental support and education being vital influence. It i

s reported that the kid whose parents are divorced is more likely has psychological trouble

s than those with a harmonious family. By contrast, as we all know, good education will posi

tively cultivate a

person’s

personality and improve his self-restraint in a big way.

In summary, from what has been discussed above, we may safely arrive at the conclusion tha

t partly because of different nature, partly because of different nurture, people have thei

r unique personality.

For centuries,people have heatedly debated the problem that what

runs a more significant position in characteristic and development.

At first glance,it would seem that nature is the crucial factor.

Closerexamination reveals,however,that nurture makes the determinative

ally,I side with the later reasons as

follows can demonstrate my viewpoint.

Most important,elder generation's way of actionun fluences much on

children's e of the small age,kids have little

understandings about the condition and they always intimate what

their parents is frequent to find that the sons possess the

same gestures of walking or eating with the ile children

are using their parebns' way to think of and deal with matters out

of habit.

What is more,just as Edison's best-known saying goes:

percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.

heritage does give out benefit; however, its effect is

too must make it through hardwork and proper cultivation.

In ancient China,Fang Zhongyong, concidered as a child prodigy, had a

talented ablity of poem unatly,he did not acquire a well

education,which leaded to the lost of teputatuon ten years later.

Last but not least, superior postnatal nurture can bting a promissing

development to us aspects o fchildren's personality

are formed after the borth such as the view of world and

value

.The nurture just serves as th

ese points as it shows a correct direction to the youngs and tutors them.

From what has been mentioned above, we can safely come to the definitive conclusion that nu

rture is the most critical ingredient for personality and personal growth.

firstly,its undeniable that the development of new technology and science contribute the res

h culture so that they miss very much their own r,culture just like a mirror w

hich reflect the

value

of one country,how can these cultures exist if the young people who a

re the hope of one country are tired of learning it?

in addition,nowaday the young people whose mother tongue is not english became crazy about l

earning english on the ground that english well can ensure them a decent job,a better life.

they spent a lot of time in studying english so that they dont have spare time to develop a

nd enrich their own ,its not surpring that many a language,only spoken by few peo

The contentious issue in the domain of sociology in the past mainly concentrated

on postnatal nurture and congenital element still has been steeped in controversy

nowadays. The key point of it is, which factor has top priority in personal grow

th and progress. On the strength of compelling and convincing research and eviden

ce, I prefer the former. This essay will outline the following reasons.

In the first place, environment and parents enlightenment play utmost and crucial

roles in child

ren’s

personalities and further development. When they are young,

they often unconsciously imitate

parents’

behaviors. As prevailing Chinese slan

g says,

“Better

unborn than

unbred”,

which connotes that parents should strengt

hen the supervision over and education of kids. After accepting education in scho

ol, their identities and ideas are deeply affected by diverse instruction system

and even distinguishing courses. For instance, students of science are apt at log

ical thinking, while students of arts are inclined to thinking in image. Granted

that it happens to identical twins, their behaviors are not genetic because life

has presented them with different opportunities.

In the second place, one with innate intellect uncertainly becomes a genius insom

uch as his success owes much to his capabilities and arduous efforts. Take an ins

tance of Charlotte

Bronte’s

brother who was quite bright during his childhood. O

nly did he depend on his superior intellect, so that neglected his study. Finally

he became an idle person, while his sister became a famous author as a result of

hard study. Even Albert Einstein said,

“A

genius is that kind of person with 99

percent diligence plus 1 percent

intelligence.”

Apparently, his success is not

so much by talent as by strenuous work.

In conclusion, no one can choose his nature, but one can be successful after stri

ving for himself and being well educated. Moreover, no one can be triumphant only

relying on his genes. Namely, nurture passes nature.

V111 Children - Nature or Nurture?

Which one has deeper influence on molding

children’s

personalities and their development na

ture or nurture?

In certain respects, children are the same all over the world. But when they grow up, they b

ecome quite different. What has caused such considerable changes? I believe nurture plays th

e crucial role in personality and development of a child. In another word, the circumstance

s surrounding the child are more important to form its character.

As an old saying remarked,

‘No

man is born wise or

learned’

.

Had nobody taught him, a man w

ould even not be able to count from 1 to 10, no matter how talented he were. In fact, a nasc

ent infant to who has scarcely given birth, in certain aspects, is just the same as a kitte

n being no aware of so-called character. Its nature is to cry for food when it feels hungr

y, or cry for release when it feels uncomfortable. That is that. The true story of

‘wolf

-ch

ild’

can be the best evidence.

On the other hand, the parents, teachers, as well as other people around a child, are the ma

in builders who develop its personality. Learning from the circumstances, the child forms it

s character and concepts of the world. People always say

‘the

best horse needs breeding, an

d the aptest child needs

teaching.’

Without correct guidance, a clear conscience can even g

o bad. For instance, a father is a deep drug addict, and in most cases, his son starts thi

s dangerous experience very early, by reason of smoky air he has breathed since his childhoo

d. Such situation is not rare. On the contrary, we often hear similar news from media.

As you can tell from my analysis, among all factors affecting the growth of children, nurtur

e is the crucial one, which is much more important than the nature or any other else.

Nature or nurture, which one has major influence on our personality and development? This is

sue has been widely debated in our country nowadays. As far as I am concerned, I am incline

d to support the standpoint that nurture plays a more crucial role in

youngster’s

developme

nt.

To begin with, scientific research has already proved that the intelligence quotient(IQ) w

e were born with is not differ from each other too much. We have to admit that the so-calle

d whiz- kids could be found are actually seldom. If we want to lead to any success, we need t

o rely on postnatal education and self-struggle which are the decisive factors. For exampl

e, Edison was regarded as a fool in his primary school. However, he got uneaqualed achieveme

nt by his own efforts.

In the second place,

children’s

limited natural gift will disappear soon if his/her nurtur

e can not support it sufficient. Only can we say that the advantageous intelligence is a hel

pful condition to achievement, but the advantages will not last for long. There is Chinese f

able: a boy called zy had some talents in poetry, so his father continuous take him to atten

d feast to boast his gift instead of bringing him to school, several years latter, zy have n

ot any intelligence in composing poems any more. Therefore, we can find how important does t

he parental education and studying environment are!

Finally, the concept for success given by Einstein also indicates the essential effect of ed

ucation and hardworking. He said: success is equal to 99% of diligence plus only 1% of geniu

s. From his notion, we can easily find that the diligence is the indispensable element for p

eople’s

accomplishments.

From all mentioned above, we can safely come to a conclusion that only education and industr

y can mould people to be excellent and outstanding, merely depend on

So-called nature gifts are absolutely deficiency.

There is a dispute over what plays a chief role in

one’

s

personality and development. Some m

aintain that it is concluded by the characteristic people born with, whereas others are conf

ident that it defers to the experiences people have had in the life. For my part, I tend t

o share the latter point of view, and I would like to give two major reasons in the followin

g.

On one hand, wealth and material status have an import effect on

people’s

personality. Acco

rding to

Maslow’s

Theory, basic needs is human

being’s

primary requirement. Without solvin

g the basic demand for food and clothes,

people’

s

character is vulnerable to be ruined and c

an hardly develop in other spheres. For example, there were twins born in a poor countrysid

e. One of them was adopted by a rich relative and lived in a???? metropolis, but the other s

tayed in village. Thirty years later, the urban son grew up into a prosperous professiona

l, while the rural one was uneducated and made a hard life. It is different material conditi

on that contributes to this contrast.

On the other hand, education, particularly the education from

one’s

childhood to adolescenc

e, has a final say on his development. Children are too young to distinguish good from ba

d. They ought to be taken under the guidance of parents and teachers. Sensible ideas and dec

ent behaviors lead them to become moral persons. Something evil, otherwise, such as violen

t films and drugs, make them stray from the right way. Herewith, people with excellent devel

opment are usually well educated.

To sum up, diverse contributing factors can be identified, nevertheless, I still insist tha

t acquired experiences have much more influence on

people’s

personality and development. Wh

at we must do is making sure that the positive ones are encouraged and the negative ones ar

e eliminated as far as possible.

some people think that university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give practical training benefit t

o society.

do you agree or disagree. use your own experience and knowledge to support your idea.

Most universities and colleges spend a rather long period in fundamental

theories and elementary courses. But students regard these kinds of

knowledge useless, and pay less attention to them. They suggest school pay

more time for practical training instead of providing theoretical lessons. In

my opinion, however, theoretical knowledge is necessary. And one will

definitely benefit from it.

First, fundamental theories, such as math and physics, are the basis of other

knowledge. To a student who majors in automatic control, the course of

control system is the most practical and useful in the future. But if he

isn’t

good at math and circuit, he will hardly be able to understand the principles

and methods of how to control a subject or process. It is just like

constructing a building. How can you imagine a spectacular high-rise without

a firm groundsill? That is, theories and practices are interrelated. We can

ignore neither of them.

Second, theoretical basic knowledge provides not only the knowledge itself,

but also a way that how to learn and research. University is a place for

scientific research and invention. So it is necessary for students to have the

skill of doing research. Seeing from another angle, science and techniques

are exploding so quickly that present skills will soon be out of date. If one

learnt nothing except practical skills, he would also fall behind the society.

But if one could master the method of research, he would be able to refresh

himself continuously with advanced technology.

From all the commentaries above, we can learn the important role of

theoretical knowledge. Although pragmatism is very popular today, we should

pay enough attention to the basis and principles.

Nowhere in the world has the issue of student been so much debated as in

our society. In this competitive society, ability of work and employment

experience have become very important features of ordinary

students’

futur

e; therefore, many people think that university should teach students the rea

l knowledge that comes from practice and direct experience. The above point

is certainly wrong; this essay will outline three reasons.

The main reason is that

students’

study will be delayed and disadvantaged.

The academic knowledge of students will be hard to make greater progress

in order to practical training and employment experience. In this special

period of life, students have the best memory and intellect. If they do not

work hard at study, they will lose it that could be balanced by neither good

employment experience nor information of outside classroom. If students

choose to carefully study academic knowledge in the university, they would

gain a better future.

Another reason is that current knowledge of students is not enough capable

to face practical

training’s

requirements. If students are not taught

professional theoretical knowledge, they just depend on the basal academic

knowledge that they studied in the high school. In fact, they are really

difficult to progress real practical training and gain abundant employment

experience.

Last but not the least reason is the professional theoretical knowledge that it

is necessary to work of future. For instance, when I graduated from

university, I did not have any employment experience. But, I was hired a

famous network company. I could gain this work chance, only, because of

my professional theoretical knowledge.

In conclusion, the students ought to only study theoretical knowledge in the

university. It is unnecessary to let university that provides plenty of practical

training

Which kind of courses should universities provide: theoretical knowledge or practical traini

ng? Some people prefer the later one and assert that the practical training can benefit ou

r society. Personally, I strongly disagree with their point of view for three reasons.

Among countless factors which influence my propensity, there is a most conspicuous one: prac

tical experience should be accumulated in society, not in universities. I can think of no be

tter illustration than the saying:

“society

is another kind of

university”

(Mao Zedong). L

iterarily, in society people can study practical knowledge as well as studying theoretical k

nowledge in universities. Besides, campus is full of academic atmosphere, and there is total

ly different from the circumstance in society. Thus, it is difficult for students to accumul

ate the real practical experience in campus.

The second aspect relates to the importance of theoretical knowledge. Apparently, it would s

eem that some academic subjects, such as mathematics or sociology, cannot benefit companie

s or society directly. In fact, however, they are the basis of practical subjects, such as m
