Sample answer： ：：Cooperation has strongly been advocated by many schools, possibly because good teamwork spirit is regarded as shared trait among successful groups It is believed that organizing children to team sports is the best way to teach cooperation My view is that team sports are of great significance to the cultivation of teamwork spirit, despite the fact that children can learn to cooperate through many other methods ：：Team sports are known for the ability that it can improve children’s teamwork spirit In the team environment, members need to know how to communicate with each other and discuss strategies to beat rivals, which can prepare students for both academic performance and career development If there are no team activities provided for children, they may feel lonely and isolated from the outside world Undoubtedly, introducing more team sports to children contributes to cultivating their cooperation spirit ：：Another advantage of team sports is that it can encourage children to obey team rules When they are playing together, they have to follow some certain instructions; otherwise activities or games may not be gone smoothly In addition, children are more likely to help each other and realize the merits of others id they are occupied with team sports ：：Meanwhile, it should be admitted that team sports are not the only way to cooperation If the team fails, children may blame their teammate, which is harmful to both teamwork spirit and their friendship Clearly, there are many other social activities that can improve children’s cooperation, including singing in a chorus and participating in unpaid community service ：：To sum up, team sports provide a good environment for children to cooperate and encourage them to follow instructions, although we have to acknowledge that some other activities are also the methods leading to teamwork spirit ：：(296 words) 3, Nowadays, most people learn academic study in university, but others think we should encourage to learn vocational skills more, you agree or disagree? Sample answer： ：：There is an upsurge in practical knowledge in these years and people have seen many education courses being totally theory-based Going to college or learning practical skills, which is better, has been a discussion among public In my view, the choice really depends on different individuals’ needs and will ：：When a student is leaning academic knowledge in university, other skills are also developed University education will focus on some exceptional abilities like organization, interpretation, evaluation and communication, which can help students to be a well-rounded person A qualified student should also posses some important skills, such as problems solving and critical thinking ：：Learning fixing or construction or something practical like these also sounds reasonable It is well-recognized that every student has to work after they graduate They should be equipped with competence which enhances the transition from school to work Besides, an excellent student learner is admittedly important to society, but more important is his or her productivity However, college education focuses more on theoretical knowledge instead of practical abilities, which distances learners from the real life ：：My view is that this choice is according to different people’s needs and will For instance, if a doctor spends years in practicing medicine, his experience will be more than his peers who stay in college after they graduate Also, in our society, a doctor’s reputation is based on his skills and experience.to doctors, practical skills are more important However, it may be better to pursue further education for a philosopher until he gets a doctor degree Meanwhile, different people have different wills to different things, which means they can the personal choice for themselves ：：Overall, I think the choice is quite personal and people will make the best decision based on their conditions ：：(294 words) 4, Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists, not local people Why is this the case and what can be done to attract local people Sample answer： ：：Museums and historical sites are the sanctuary where we can acquire historical knowledge and cultural heritage However, it has become less attractive to the local recently As well as discussing the factors contributing to this trend This essay will try to find its solutions ：：It is apparent that many local people assume that they are consciously aware of their cities And they feel less fresh if they have appreciated such places ever before In addition, many museum and sites are chargeable As a result The local prefer to enjoy their leisure time at home rather than in museum or historical sites ：：The inescapable fact is that Museums and historical sites are always the first option to many tourists For one thing, they can pay the least spending as well as enjoy the most local knowledge and scenery For another thing, the revenue of museums and historical sites account for the most local tourism Governments are more pleased to attract tourists to these two places rather than to the locals If this situation still continues in the future, there will be less local visiting to the museums and historical sites ：：One main solution is to enrich their diversity of activities Museums can hold some larruping activities, such as Healthy Lecture and Civil Sporting Meeting These activities will not only arouse the enthusiasm of citizens, but also add some color to this city Besides, at some degree, lowing the price to draw more visits is also a feasible solution ：：To summarise, tourists will continuously choose museum and historical sites as their must-visits However, it is still necessary to take some actions to maintain the local’s visiting ：：(348 words) 5, It is said that people’s life now is becoming more and more stressful What are the causes and how to solve it? ：The acceleration of industrialization and the prosperity of economy benefit our society a great deal But with the speeding up of economic development, people are facing more and more pressure from various aspects of their life This essay will explore the causes for the heavy pressure and put forward some feasible solutions ：：One of the major causes is that people’s living rhythm has been promoted immensely with the upgrading of new-knowledge and hi-tech To keep abreast with the society, people have to work intensively on the one hand and improve their knowledge on the other The economic globalization strengthened international cooperation and expand people’s scope of activity The fierce social competition deprives people of their spare time and makes their life more stressful ：：Another factor comes from the pressure of people’s family People in the current society have to shoulder the responsibility of family maintenance On the one hand, people have to care for their parents, creating for them a happy and comfortable life On the other hand, they have to give their children good education To earn more money, people have to work very hard to finance their family ：：If people live in heavy pressure, they will have problems both physically and psychologically To relieve the pressure, I think the following suggestions are feasible and practical Firstly, people are suggested to go in for some sports games in their spare time or at the weekend Sports can build up people’s physique and make them vigorous Secondly, people should communicate with others frequently and confess their trouble and difficulty to others, which is a very magic way to release one’s pressure Finally, people have to find a balance between money and health Otherwise, one’s health will be overdrawn and spoiled by money earning ：：In brief, good life should not be obtained at the price of the deterioration of one’s health People should improve their living pattern and lead a life of high quality.(337 words) 6, Some people think instead of preventing climate change, we should find ways to live with it To what extent you agree or disagree? ：These days, no one would deny the importance of protecting the environment.But there is no consensus on how to achieve this end Some people believe that social members may try to tolerate the changing climate rather than endeavor to make a difference.I find it really difficult to justify this argument ：：The climate change and its following impacts indeed have already been on the global scale and people have to admit this undesired social reality The reasons for this may involve the recognition that environmental problems are mainly found in underdeveloped countries, where industrial or agricultural developments are the top priorities and have to be placed ahead of environmental issues As a result it is likely for these nations to explore it excessive natural resource to stimulate the economic growth In the absence of facilities or technologies, those countries have difficulties in balance the economy and the environment For this reason a large number of people will unfortunately sacrifice their wishes of living in a comfortable zone, but accept the degenerated living surroundings ：：However, this doesn't automatically mean that we may simply surrender in the battle against the climate change After all the rare effort may contribute to the even more outrageous climate disasters,including the glacier melting, drought and flood In this case,there must be some measures adopted to prevent the regression One possible approach to urge government to enforce strict laws.These laws can punish environmentally destructive activities and determine businesses and individuals from releasing astonishing amount of carbon dioxide and other kinds of greenhouse gas, Which can effectively postpone the process of global warming Moreover, in coping with this issue countries worldwide may join forces and make a concerted instead of working individually for inconsistent targets For example those economically and technologically advanced nations can provide their aids to their less-advanced counterparts in order to restore the environment there ：：As analysed above the climate change seems to be inevitable and inextricably intertwined with the economic development However if we collaborate with each other,this phenomenon can be addressed properly ：：(346 words ) 7, Holding Olympic Games has positive effects Others believe it is too moneyconsuming and the government should spend that money on other areas As the NO.1 sports competition worldwide, Olympic Games has been held consistently in different areas in the past Many people believe this sports tradition should remain, because of its positive influences on the host country However, others hold an opposite view that a large amount of money spent on it is unwise Personally, I am in favor of the former view, and my reasons will be explored as below ：：The first reason of supporting Olympic Games is that it provides opportunities for the modernization of social infrastructure a host city, which can leave a lasting heritage for the whole community For example, 2008 Beijing Olympic Games stimulated the update of transportation system, such as the doubled number of highways, higher extension of subways and accommodation of airports, as well as an integration of between land and air traffic Therefore, contributions to this city this great sporting event made include a smooth operation of internal market, a reliable and efficient mobility of persons and goods, and an increased cohesion of north China, socially and territorially ：：Secondly, Olympic Games also plays a role of economic catalyst for local society For one thing, during the process of the game, the inflow of tens of thousands of athletes, coaches, officers, journalists and audience would drastically boost domestic economy, such as the consumption of hotels, restaurants, commodities and souvenirs For another, many sporting venues which are in operation after the event is over can be city icons and ideal attractions for tourists Expectedly, with a consistent thriving of tourism, many kinds of industries and new job vacancies can be activated ：：However, demerits of Olympic Games should not be overlooked, and the first concern is so-called white elephant phenomenon of construction That is to say, without long-term planning or practicality, many venues which were built only for sports with little local interest, have now no use, or are crumbling For example, In Greek today, the expensive and once-gleaming Olympic legacy has been a set of decaying structures Swimming pools are given over to frogs, beach volleyball and softball arenas are all literally falling apart, baseball fields have been overtaken by weeds, dirt and trash is collection in the hallway and corners In other words, the investment of billions of dollars into these debris is unacceptable and ironical for Greeks who are now being trapped in the economic crisis ：：In conclusion, I believe its advantages overweigh the disadvantages Although some sports facilities might not be used fully, the overall improvement of urban infrastructure and economic prosperity sparked by Olympic Games holding are more meaningful and valuable, to a large extent ：：(433 words) 8, Some people think governments should focus on reducing environmental pollution and housing problems to help people prevent illness and disease To what extent you agree or disagree? There is no doubt that people’s health will be influenced directly or indirectly by the environment and housing condition Whether governments should focus more on the environment and estate has triggered a controversy I feel that individuals should take more responsibility for their well-being other than government’s increasing attention ：：Indeed, the environmental problems and housing conditions are two main sources for illness and diseases In many large cities in northern China, haze weather has become a daily killer, especially causing respiratory diseases in winter Also, populace will easily access to viruses and bacteria if they live in a poor housing condition without any advanced sanitation Therefore, governments should give more attention and higher investment in these two areas ：：Compared to individuals, governments have more power to arrange a wide range of social resources to address severe issues; however, it does not mean that addressing this problem totally depends on governments The state is an organizer or a coordinator in our society instead of a responsibility taker Although governments can claim people to enhance the awareness of environment protection, make policy to strengthen the environment management and invest estate where they need, public health condition is still a personal problem to some degree People have the obligation to form and keep a healthy and positive lifestyle, or they will still face the threat of illness and diseases even environment and housing condition getting better ：：In conclusion, people can also need to take responsibility of their well-being as governments only hold a position as organizer and coordinator The most feasible solution may be that governments provide a fine setting on one hand and public should pursue a healthy lifestyle for themselves on the other hand ：：(283 words) 9, In some countries, secondary school aims to provide a general education across a range of subjects In others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career Which you think is appropriate in today’s world? What range of subjects the high school offers can have a stark and profound influence on students’ future development I, to be honest, hold the view that the general education with a wide range of subjects is beneficial to students themselves in the long run ：：If students have access to more courses, they are likely to have more opportunities to choose the subject they prefer or are better at In this way, the students can learn with more enthusiasm and passionate and will feel less bored with their classes With more motivation derived from their inner hearts, students can give full play to their potentials and achieve better academic performance ：：Besides, the more diverse subject system can also cultivate more well-rounded students The knowledge base of different subjects is distinct from each other, which can help to foster the students in certain perspective Mathematics and physics are helpful to students’ logic and abstract thinking; some humanity subjects such as literature and aesthetics can enhance students’ capabilities of appreciation and judgment There is no doubt that students will become more versatile if they have grasped knowledge of different subjects ：：It is also true that focusing on the narrower range of subjects can bring some benefits to some extent Students can concentrate more on limited subjects and are more likely to become the specialist in certain fields Youyou TU, the Nobel Prize winner in medicine, receives specialized education in TCM and chemistry and devotes all her life to the research of the anti-malaria medicines, making her become a world-renowned scientist ：：To sum up, a general education with wilder range of subjects should be accessible to students because of its benefits to a sounder development of students ：：(284 words) 10, Hạnh phúc ：Without any discussing, the key to happiness, in my opinion, is a harmonious relationship with the people in our lives ：：It is the people in our lives who bring us the most happiness Family, friends and co-workers, who are part of our inner circle, share our experiences, hopes and dreams, successes and frustrations, joys and pains Too often, many of us get on the fast track of life and take each other for granted As a new millennium approach, more people disregard their passion and interests and choose careers based on job security, pay and professional promotion As a result, they find themselves isolated and without friends Loneliness is a common tragedy that destroys lives ：：Actually we were old enough to remember the old saying "Money doesn’t buy happiness", yet we strive for the material objects and pay a high price The essence of happiness is the unconditionally love we have for the people in our lives and their unconditionally love for us To live life only for ourselves will bring us nothing but sadness and misery ：：A self-centered life is an unhappy life Selfishness is a major block to happiness Our feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem cause us to be takers rather than givers Our selfishness is often a mask for fear If we don’t think too much about ourselves, we have a lot of work to in order to enhance our self-worth We must live for something greater than ourselves To be happy, we must get out of ourselves An unhappy person must turn outward, not inward, to find happiness ：：I truly believe that the happiest people are those who love many things They love children, family and friends They love sunrises and sunsets They love life They have even learned to love pain and despair rather than viewing them the opposite of happiness 11, Is freedom of speech necessary in a free society? In the last decade, there has been considerable debate over the role of free speech in a free society Some object to absolute freedom of speech Others advocate free speech, arguing that the freedom of speech is the single most important political right of citizens in a civilized society Whilst I believe that there are strong arguments on both sides, I would suggest that freedom of speech should be protected in all but extreme circumstances ：：The freedom of speech is important at all levels in a society Yet it is most important for the governments A government which does not know what the people feel and think is in a dangerous position This is how the communist regimes of Eastern Europe were toppled in the 1980s The same is happening again in other regions of the world today The governments that muzzle free speech run a risk of pushing their people to behave destructively or to rebel ：：Furthermore, without free speech no political action is possible and no resistance to injustice and oppression is possible Without free speech elections would have no meaning at all Policies of contestants become known to the public and become responsive to public opinion only by virtue of free speech Between elections the freely expressed opinions of citizens help restrain oppressive rule Without this freedom it is futile to expect political freedom or consequently economic freedom ：：In conclusion, I believe that the importance of free speech as a basic and valuable characteristic of a free society cannot be underestimated It may be challenging for society to allow differences of opinion out into the open; however, the consequences of restricting free speech are likely to be more damaging in the longer term 12, Some people think that professional athletes make good role models for young people, while others believe they don’t Discuss both these points of views and give your own opinion Model Answer: ：：People everywhere like watching sports Many top athletes are admired throughout their countries, and some even have fans all around the world Young people especially, view many athletes as role models and want to emulate the way these stars dress, act and live their lives While some athletes aren't deserving of their "role model" status, others act like role models and responsible community citizens ：：Top athletes get the attention of young people Most children and teenagers like to follow professional sports For many of them, star athletes represent heroes, and children want to be like their heroes This means they will want to play sports, which is good for their health Playing sports also teaches valuable life lessons such as teamwork, discipline, goal setting, and the realities of dealing with success and failure Professional athletes demonstrate the importance of working hard to achieve a goal, or practicing regularly to become good at something This is a good example for children to follow ：：However, professional athletes are not always good role models For one thing, when young athletes reach a level of fame, it comes with media attention, large financial benefits and social attention This can lead children to believe that money and fame are an important part of sports Children might focus more on these aspects than on the fun of the game or on the challenge of learning how to play well Then there are those athletes who behave badly For example, some cheat to win their games or take drugs to improve their performance This kind of behaviour sends the wrong message to children ：：Athletes are people who are held at a lofty place in the society owing to their popularity and wealth These attributes are what makes people want to look up to them and model various facets of their lives along those of the athletes We can thus be led to conclude that professional athletes can be very good role models for children, as long as they focus on the positive aspects of playing sports 13, Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic: 　　According to those in the travel business, the nature of the average 'holiday' is changing Rather than seeking a relaxing break in a far-away place, people now want excitement on their holidays and are keen to participate in unusual and challenging activities 　　Do you agree or disagree? Model Answer: ：：Holidays are important because they provide a break from our normal daily routine and from the world of work Traditionally, holidays have been seen as a time for relaxation and as an opportunity to visit another country in order to find out about its geography and customs Nowadays, however, it seems that other types of holiday are becoming popular ：：Some people want their holiday to be a kind of adventure, and find this more exciting than going to the beach or visiting museums On an adventure holiday, you may stay in quite basic accommodation, rather than a luxurious hotel Activities may involve things such as bush walking or cycling, or may form part of an aid project designed to help communities in remote areas Holidays such as these are popular with people of all ages and can often help to promote tourism in rural environments ：：The increasing popularity of dangerous sports has also boosted the number of adventure holidays; for example, water sports, mountain climbing or paragliding These holidays are more popular with the younger generation, as they can be both physically and mentally demanding Participants are often seeking the sort of thrills that they cannot get in ordinary life ：：There is now greater awareness of the damaging effects of mass tourism and this may be one reason for the changing nature of holidays This can only be a good thing But perhaps people are also discovering that it is just as refreshing to take an active holiday, as it is to lie on a beach - though that is still a question of personal preference 14, Write about the following topic: 　　Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your 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 ：：However, 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 nonvirtual experiences is an important part of a child's development 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 enthusiastically and 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 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 15, The use of mobile phone in certain places is just as antisocial as smoking you think mobile should be banned like smoking? Since the first mobile phone was invented, this technology has already changed our lives However, while it gains its popularity, a lot of criticism also follow Personally, I believe that it should not be banned ：：We cannot avoid the fact that the mobile phone brings much convenience to our lives In the old times, if we want to contact with a friend in a distant place, we may write a letter, which will take more than half a month before he gets the letter But with the help of the mobile phone, we can get the connection with our friends in less than 10 seconds In addition, the mobile phone is able to achieve many features, such as shopping online, GPS, buying tickets and so on, which not only saves our time and spending, but also brings much more entertainment ：：At the same time, mobile phone industry creates great quantity of business opportunities In the past one decade, mobile phones are sold by hundreds, bu thousand, by million and provides unaccountable jobs in the modern world as well For example, according to a survey, Samsung has made great contribution to Korean’s GDP However, the mobile phone also has an effect on our physical and mental health As we all know, if we insist to play digital games on our phones, we may suffer some eye diseases unless we realise its harmfulness To make thins worse, nowadays many people would prefer to spend their time with some virtual friends rather than keep their families accompanied in reality ：：In conclusion, I consider it has more benefits than drawbacks If the mobile phone is used at a right place and right time, it still can be put into excellent usefulness.(287 words) 16, Some people think that professional athletes make good role models for young people, while others believe they don’t 　　Discuss both these points of views and give your own opinion Model Answer: ：：People everywhere like watching sports Many top athletes are admired throughout their countries, and some even have fans all around the world Young people especially, view many athletes as role models and want to emulate the way these stars dress, act and live their lives While some athletes aren't deserving of their "role model" status, others act like role models and responsible community citizens ：：Top athletes get the attention of young people Most children and teenagers like to follow professional sports For many of them, star athletes represent heroes, and children want to be like their heroes This means they will want to play sports, which is good for their health Playing sports also teaches valuable life lessons such as teamwork, discipline, goal setting, and the realities of dealing with success and failure Professional athletes demonstrate the importance of working hard to achieve a goal, or practicing regularly to become good at something This is a good example for children to follow ：：However, professional athletes are not always good role models For one thing, when young athletes reach a level of fame, it comes with media attention, large financial benefits and social attention This can lead children to believe that money and fame are an important part of sports Children might focus more on these aspects than on the fun of the game or on the challenge of learning how to play well Then there are those athletes who behave badly For example, some cheat to win their games or take drugs to improve their performance This kind of behaviour sends the wrong message to children ：：Athletes are people who are held at a lofty place in the society owing to their popularity and wealth These attributes are what makes people want to look up to them and model various facets of their lives along those of the athletes We can thus be led to conclude that professional athletes can be very good role models for children, as long as they focus on the positive aspects of playing sports  ... used at a right place and right time, it still can be put into excellent usefulness.(287 words) 16, Some people think that professional athletes make good role models for young people, while others
