Some think that we should read extensively. It is their conviction that, reading extensively could easily enlar

2、ge knowledge, widen interests and enrich lives. On the other hand, with the sharp increase in information today, we are not allowed to read word by word. It seems an impossible mission to accomplish digesting carefully every material. Therefore, what we need nowadays is to read extensively. However,

3、 some people, on the contrary, hold the opposite point of view. In their eyes, we benefit much more from reading intensively. Only by following every word are we able to comprehend the hidden meanings. Besides, without intensive reading, we are likely to miss a good many wonderful expressions, thoug

4、htful words and even truths. Thus, they suggest chewing a book mouth by mouth rather than simply swallowing it at a time. As far as I am concerned, we ought to learn to read extensively as well as intensively. It is not often possible, to read in merely one way. Instead of trying to read every line

5、and word in newspapers and magazine, wed better summarize the main idea. And when it comes to literature, art, science articles and others like these; it is wise to read them intensively. 有选择地读还是广泛地读？How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Everyone has his own view. Some peopl

6、e think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern science and technology, more and more books are published. It is impossible for us to read all the books.

We should read books in many fields, and read selectively in one field.1993 My Idea of Becoming a Teacher i

Being besieged包围 with TV news, absorbing teleplays, well-masterminded programmes, one can easily conclude that TV is a real blessing to t

11、he human society, offering affluent entertainment and information. Yet, convenient and helpful as it is, the television also brings negative effects.To begin with, TV makes people more passive than before: since everything on TV is ready-made, there is no space for audiences initiatives. The news ha

12、s been carefully edited, teleplays well shot, programmes rehearsed, so all you need to doand all you can do is to sit on a comfortable sofa and look at the screen. Though a lot of people enjoy doing this, the undoubted truth is that people are becoming more passive simply because there is no interac

13、tion and no efforts on them. Television also contributes to the fact that people nowadays are more distant to each other. Since most of our free time is taken away by the act of watching TV, we can no longer find enough time to visit friends, call on relatives or go to interesting places. This is al

14、so true within a family, parents and children and other members are less close to each other, because family get-togethers and conversations are disturbed by TVwhen one member is watching TV, he would like others to keep quiet.Of course I am not denying the great conveniences and huge benefits the T

15、V brings us, but to make it a really blessing to us, we should try to avoid its negative effects. 1995 Nowadays it has become fashionable for college students to take a part-time job in their spare time. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this trend. 1996 Every college student would agree t

16、hat life in college is not the same as it was in the middle school. Now, you have been asked by the Students Union to write a passage entitled: The Main Difference Between My College Life And My Middle School LifeWhen studying in middle school, sheltered under the wings of parents and teachers, and

17、following what they required, I always wished I were a free eagle flying in the sky. After I entered college, I was overjoyed to find out the main difference between college life and middle school life, because thats what I like to be a master of my own life.Actually, I really enjoy my college life,

18、 for I am a real eagle in the sky. I study automatically, not forced by my parents and teachers; I study to acquire knowledge, not only for exams; I arrange my time to amuse myself, not to be criticized. All in all, I live for myself, on my own. Of course, although college offers me a sky, but it do

19、esnt mean I can spoil myself.

You either agree or disagree with them: More pressure from academic studies d

20、oes (does not) good to usIt is known that interest is the mother of success. But we never say pressure is the mother of success. In fact, excessive pressure is the mother of resistance. We grown-up university students do not need more pressure from academic studies because it will do harm to us ment

21、ally and physically.For one thing, where there is oppression, there is resistance. When students get more pressure from academic studies, they may naturally reject it in their deep mind because they feel that they are forced to study by the pressure but not their own willing. So they may adopt some

22、improper means to get rid of pressure, which finally will damage their interest to academic studies. For another, more pressure from studies will make students nervous and tired easily, which will visibly do harm to their health.In conclusion, giving more pressure to students in academic studies is

23、an incorrect way to encourage them to study well. Teachers should give it up quickly and find another way to arouse students interest in study.1998 It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a major source of air pollution in cities.

What is your opinion?A major advantage/disadvantage of advertising on televisionA Major Advantage of Advertising on Televisio

25、n Nowadays we can see advertisements on Television every day. Some people believe that advertising on television can bring us benefits, but others dont think so. In my opinion, I am in favor of the advertising on television.There are two reasons, I think, for the growing number of advertisement on T

26、V. First, in a competitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. Thus, manufacturers are confronted with a problemHow to keep sales high enough to stay in business. They solve this problem by advertising. Through advertising, each manufacturing

27、 company tries to convince consumers that its product is special. Second, most consumers are interested in advertisement. They wish to get from TV advertisement the first hand information about new products, which enables them to choose the one they like best. As a result, there is a sharp increase

28、in advertisement on the TV screen. In conclusion, TV advertising plays a very important role in our economic behavior. With abundant information available on TV, we can make sensible choices as consumers. Sample 2Advertisements has become an inseparable part of television program; while keeping the

29、audience up with the latest information about products of various kinds, it could also intrigue the consumers into buying things they dont really need. Some think TV advertising brings them benefits, others hold a different view. As for me, I agree with the later, because a major, if not overwhelmin

30、g, disadvantage of TV advertisement is that it makes the price of the product much higher than it ought to be.Admittedly, television provides a means for reaching a great number of potential consumers, but the cost is also huge. For example, an advertisement aired before a hit TV series could possib

31、le burn a million in a 30 seconds. But who is going to pay for this? Is the manufacturer going to pay for it? Surely not. They aim at profits, so the only thing they would do is to add the expenditure of the commercial into the original cost of their products, which will inevitable result in a highe

32、r market price.For instance, Ive been using a kind of air conditioner for years; it has good quality and reasonable price. However, after its advertisement was put on TV, the price rose by 20%, which made it less appealing than before, while people think they enjoy free TV shopping guide, they actually pay for it, not through the cable bill, but the receipt of their purchase.To sum up, advertising on TV makes the price of the products much more expensive than their truly worth, and its against the benefits of the consumers.99年便条 Apr. 20, 2009Dear Jimmy,I a
