To what extent do you agree or disagree? Schools are places where students acquire knowledge and

2、skills needed for further achievements. Given the pressure that students are facing, some cannot help wondering whether art classes should still be compulsory. Those holding the view that art classes should not be compulsory might think that art consumes too much of students time. Fierce competition

College students who intend to take science as their major are even expected to be fluent in foreign languages now so that essays written by foreign scholars are not barriers in their academic pursui

4、t. In other words, high school students are supposed to show higher levels of academic competence, which seemingly makes art unessential.

Publ

8、ic transportations like buses, taxis and metros are advised. To what extent do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In some cities around the world, people are not allowed to use private vehicles on some particular days and only public transports are available. From my point of view,

9、 this practice brings more benefits than drawbacks. This approach does lead to some inconvenience for citizens especially for working people. Compared with taking bus or subway, it is more convenient and comfortable to drive ones own car. With more people taking buses or metros on vehicle-free days,

10、 it will add to the burdens of the already overloaded public transport system. The bus terminal may be jam-packed with commuters, which will make people more discontent. Nevertheless, we cannot deny the contribution it brings to pollution reduction and energy saving. As we know, air pollution has be

11、come a severe problem, since it is causing irreversible damage to the environment in many countries and the exhaust fume emitted by various kinds of vehicles is one of the culprits of air pollution. In this sense, if there were few vehicles on the road, it will relieve this problem at some extent. I

12、n terms of energy saving, fuels are in such short supply that we have to do everything we can to save energy. Apart from this, another benefit lies in the fact that it will remind people to take public transportation instead of using private vehicles. Definitely more attention could be paid to the a

13、dvantages brought by using public transports with the implementation of this measure. All in all, it is a wise practice since all the inconvenience and discontent is temporary as long as governments invest more money on the development of public transport infrastructure. And what is more important i

14、s that less pollution will be produced and more energy will be saved, which will benefit the human beings in a long term.(299 words)1.14 社会类Task: Some people say job satisfaction is more important than job security, others think people cannot always enjoy their jobs. So having a permanent job is mor

15、e important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. In modern society, there has been a growing awareness among many people, especially the youth that undertaking a job which enables them to achieve satisfaction counts more. However, others advocate that it is wise to do one job as long as th

16、ey can. It is understandable that people from different backgrounds put different interpretation on the same issue. On one hand, there are several main reasons approving of the significance of job satisfaction. The first one is that employees are more likely to devote themselves in working. As is kn

17、own to us, only when painters are fond of drawing can they create masterpieces, so does the job. Providing that staffs are discontented with salaries, regulations of companies or the bonus system, how could they spare no effort to dealing with tough problems arising from work. In addition, it is obv

18、ious that self-motivation is not only beneficial for achieving personal potential, but also makes contributions to the increase of companys profits. Since personnel are willing to tackle their tasks actively and timely, even do extra work voluntarily, the working efficiency has been drastically stim

19、ulated, in which case, there is no doubt that their employers could earn a large fortunate. In this scenario, the society may gain economic benefits from the boom of industries. Conversely, those who prefer to do the same job maintain more advantages can be obtained, among which the relatively stabl

20、e income and less competitiveness stress are the most pivotal. In pursuit of job satisfaction sometimes is at the risk of lacking money for meals or competing with thousands for one position or a deal. Besides, as their working experience increases, it is more possible for them to acquire promotion

21、or have their pay raised. Whats more, some enterprises provide special pension for lifelong workers as a reward for their loyalty. In conclusion, as far as I am concerned, whether to pursue a permanent job or a satisfactory job depends on job seekers ambition. I also believe that people had better t

22、o do something that really interests them and regard it as a lifetime career to earn both reputation and wealth.(353 words)1.21 社会类Task：The best way for the government to solve traffic congestion is to provide free public transport 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Do you agree or disagree? An effec

23、tive way for the government to ease traffic congestion is to encourage the public to take more public transport, but I do question the feasibility of offering it free 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Theoretically, providing 24 / 7 free public transport could produce some desirable outcomes. More p

24、eople would choose to take the subway or the bus and there might be less dependence on private vehicles. Also, it could make it especially easier to those financially disadvantaged people. However, the validity of the policy need to be challenged. Most countries are operating public transport system

25、 as a public service with governmental subsidy, and therefore free public transport would be financially impossible. Besides, the efficiency of the system could suffer in early mornings and at late nights for very few people would actually use public transport, which is a great waste of public funds

26、. To solve traffic gridlock, reasonable support for the public transport system is needed. But instead of making it 24 / 7 free of charge, the availability of convenient and reliable transport options could be promoted and people need to be able to afford them. In addition, certain restrictions shou

27、ld be put on unnecessary car use, for instance short journeys within already congested areas. More importantly, the government need to implement reasonable city road plan, because a big proportion of traffic jams are caused by inappropriate road construction. To conclude 24 / 7 free public transport

28、 is far from a valid solution to resolve traffic congestion in the long run, thus other alternative strategies need to be considered.(260 words)2.11 社会类Task：In modern society, ambition is more and more important. How important is ambition for being successful in life? Is ambition a positive or negat

29、ive characteristic? 范文一 In the current era, many individuals show their ambition to success, such as gaining power or earning a lot of money. In my opinion, ambition can contribute to success to some degree, but it often turns to be a negative characteristic. Ambition can assist individuals to fulfi

30、ll their targets as one of the most significant motivation factors. Everyone used to have or has their life targets, but only a few of them are potent to really achieve their dreams. It is because there exist a lot of obstacles that hinder people from concentrating on their careers, such as lacking

31、money or lacking time. Strong ambition for career progression could serve to spiritually support people to overcome difficulties they encounter. Nevertheless, admitting the significance of ambition is not assuming that it is positive to individuals in all conditions. To begin with, being ambitious i

32、n success may lead to imbalance between work and personal life. It is true that ambition can motivate individuals to work nonstop, but work is not the only content of life. When workaholics spend all of their time on work, other aspects, such as exercise or family members, will be inevitably neglect

33、ed. Even if they achieve their dreams, they may get some diseases like obesity or hypertension or feel lonely since they have no time for family activities. Thus, ambition may make people occupied by work all the time. In addition, people who are ambitious to be successful often do not care details. A lot of peop
