如果考前对以上三方面的雅思写作真题都思考过，

相信本题一定会变的 很简单，

实际上

只要把一些理由进行组合就可以了。

“Discuss both views

and give your

own opinion. ”

所以，

既要讨论到个人能够采取何种行动 解决一些环境问题，

也要讨论为什么

有些环境问题个人无法解决 （即只有政府或公司才能解决）。

Sample Answer:

It is true that our tiny individual actions often seem insignificant compared to the scale and

complexity of global environmental problems such as pollution, deforestation and depletion of

natural resources. But that does not relieve our duty as individuals to do as much as we can to deal

with these problems.

Individual actions, small as they may be, can prove more effective than we realize. We can

avoid driving the car, and take public transit, walk, or bicycle instead. This will reduce the use of

fossil fuels and cut pollution. Saving energy at home, like turning on the air conditioner only when

we have to, or turning water heater down a few degrees, is also ultimately good for the

environment. Individual actions can also turn into united powers when, for example, the whole

neighborhood is mobilized to participate in a local campaign to oppose environmentally damaging

policies.

There are, however, obstacles that stand in the way of individual action towards

environmental conservation. The first obstacle is the lack of professional knowledge needed to

cope with serious environmental issues like soil erosion and salinity, which require a significant

amount of investigation and research. Another obstacle which makes individual action almost

impossible is when an environmental emergency or accident happens, e.g. an oil spill near the

bord der line, which would necessitate government intervention or even international coordination.

So, in conclusion, when it comes to environmental problems, individual actions are

indispensable in the problem solving process. But the most pressing and complicated problems go

far beyond an individual’s capability and so r

equire the concerted effort of the government as well

as the global community.

The construction of new sports facilities are definitely needed in an environment where

people's health is in a declining state. However, there are those who believe that the way to

improving people's health should lie in other measures that governments have to come up with to

get people to live more healthily.

In many countries around the world, sports facilities are diminishing at an alarming rate, with

existing ones being threatened with closure or face redevelopment in favor of housing and

commercial development. The lack of sports facilities has directly led to a sharp decline in the

general public’s involvement in sports activities, which is the major culprit for ill health and

excessive weight nowadays. If a wider range of sports and fitness facilities (swimming pools,

basketball court and gymnasiums etc.) were available, then people would be more willing to spend

time in these facilities to train their bodies and to improve their fitness, instead of living a

sedentary life at home watching television, playing video games or using computers.

However, the building of such facilities may become a waste of time and taxpayers’ money if

they are built far away from where people live or if they are too expensive to use. There are scenes

of empty sports grounds in many cities because it takes too much trouble to get there, and many

sports clubs are receiving fewer guests because they charge unreasonably high membership fees.

In these cases, the government should be spending more on advertising healthier life style instead

of just wasting money on facilities that are not going to be actively used by the people. For

example, it is important for people to know that little things like jogging or taking the stairs

provide as many benefits as using exercising equipment in a sports club.

All in all, the government should be spending more money on the campaigns of getting the

people to be more involved in a healthier lifestyle instead of wasting taxpayers’ money on sports

facilities that are barely used by the general public. This is by far the best way of improving the

health standards of a nation as a whole.

Newspapers have become an enormous influence on people’s ideas and opinions. Why is this the

case? Is it a desirable or undesirable situation?

The nickname of the “Uncrowned King” given to the modern journalist is by no means an

exaggeration. In almost every modern society, newspapers have been playing an essential role in

shaping people’s thoughts on a wide range of iss

ues and are always regarded as an indispensable

source of information. In my opinion, this complex phenomenon can be boiled down to several

key factors, and both its positive and negative aspects need to be analyzed thoroughly.

To begin with, human curiosity is an underlying factor in the growing popularity of newspapers.

As the only species on the planet equipped with extraordinary intelligence, humans are

inveterately curious about the latest events around the globe. Therefore, all kinds of newspapers

pro

sper in such an age that is gushing with information, appealing to people’s increasingly strong

desire to know more about this constantly changing world. It is little wonder that numerous

readers are lured into heavier reliance on those well-established and internationally renowned

newspapers.

To a large extent, this situation is a desirable one with its many positive aspects. First of all, in

order to maintain their good reputation, most newspapers and magazines report actual events in a

detailed way, providing not only factual information but also deep insights into complex social

and political issues. In addition, circulated on a daily basis and across an extensive demographic

region, major newspapers have smoothly operated branches, seasoned correspondents and a highly

efficient system to collect local news with the swiftest actions. Most importantly, their coverage

and insightful comments can encourage young readers to form their own opinions on current

affairs.

On the other hand, people should be fully aware of the downside of the journalistic dominance.

More often than not, newspapers of national importance are largely controlled by the government

and act as the organ of the authorities. By furnishing citizens with prejudiced and self-opinionated

reports on sensitive issues, such as foreign affairs and national security, these newspapers can

manipulate their perspectives and attitudes and exercise a sort of monopoly on their way of

thinking. On a less serious level, flooding the pages with trivial pieces of entertainment news and

celebrity secrets is the usual way to divert the public’s attention away from government scandals

and to eclipse such social and economic ills as unemployment, crime and judicial incompetence.

In conclusion, although the positive functions of modern journalism are to be sufficiently

recognized, people must not slacken their vigilance against the possible abuse of such a

tremendous power that newspapers possess. In other words, while absorbing bits of information in

the newspapers, readers are advised to adopt an objective approach and cast a discriminating eye

on their way of presentation, comments and implicit assumptions.

Today there is a great increase in anti-social behavior and lack of respect to others.

What are the causes of this? What measures can be taken to reduce this problem

？

Nowadays, the issue of anti-social behaviour and lack of respect for others is not

uncommon. This is especially true among young people. There are mainly two causes of

this phenomenon-- the negative influence of mass media and the decline of the family and

poverty.

As the mass media become increasingly commercialized, program producers and

publishers of books are more focused on ratings, which is clearly associated with profits.

Therefore, violence of all kinds is presented on TV and in books. The constant exposure

to violence is to suggest people that violence is an ordinary way of life, and that shooting

and cheating are possible ways to succeed. We also notice that our societies and even

our families have become less cohesive, as people have to struggle to cope with the

challenges of life. The decline in our sense of community and family has gone

hand-in-hand with the rise of individualism. People increasingly look after their own

interests without considering the needs of society.

Accordingly, it is the government's responsibility to introduce restrictions and supervision

on the mass media, i.e. not allowing certain TV programs at given times, or by limiting the

number of books published according to their content. Families and schools also play

equally important role in dealing with this problem. Parental guidance is a key factor of

self-cultivation in one's lifetime. Parents can spend more time staying with their children

and patiently carry out the duty of family education. For children who exhibit some

anti-social behaviour, schools should help them to realize what they did is wrong rather

than giving up on them.

Overall, although the problem of anti- social behaviour and lack of respect for others seem

to be inevitable, we must recognize its negative effects on the society as a whole and

work on effective measures to diminish its adverse influences.

Many people believe that scientific research should be carried out and

controlled by the governments rather than private companies.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

A country active in scientific research is often one that has a strong power for innovation

and wealth creation. Nevertheless, the optimal structure for such kind of research is still

source of debate. Should it be the sole responsibility of the government?

Some people argue that it’s better for the government to co

ntrol scientific research. They

believe that research into nuclear technology, national defense or military intelligence is in

the national interest or involves high levels of secrecy and should be carried out only by

the government. Also, in basic scientific research which is directed purely towards the

advancement of knowledge, or where results cannot be guaranteed, there is little

incentive for the private sector to invest in these areas and therefore the governments

take the leading role.

There are, however, reasons for private companies to participate in scientific research.

Research is done more efficiently by private companies because they are profit driven;

their products are also more closely associated with market needs. Research into simple

articles such as cosmetics or cough medicine is not what the government is interested in,

so it’s necessary for the private sector to invest in these areas because they are important

for our daily lives.

From my point of view, both the governments and private companies should be actively

involved in scientific research. We should encourage the cooperation between different

research institutes including state-owned research centers, universities and corporate

labs to accelerate the transfer of technology and research into products and services that

can benefit human life.
