1、英语写作范文 1It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance sports or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. A basic con

3、gilely. However, the consideration is not a must for those people opining that all the toddlers or teenagers, regardless of their intrinsically gifts, can be taught to pick up the professions of sports and music as their lifetime careers. Personally, I believe that all the people, possessing our res

4、pective and incomparable assets, like the long arms of Rafael Nadal or the awe-inspiring voice of Fergie, are born most suitably for merely defined occupations. In other words, a renowned tennis player like Nadal has few chances to accomplish the achievement of Fergie as a singer, and vice versa. No

5、netheless, it must be admitted that the generality of persons are equally praiseworthy in dealing with the missions like playing tennis or singing as pastime, if they are appraised as amateurs, rather than masters. Whereas, when it comes to winning the championship of Australian Open or Grammy Award

6、, it would be different for most of us, no matter how hard we have tried. First and last, two ultimate yardsticks to measure whether a person is a promising athlete or musician are his nature and the following nurture. Therefore, by no means can all of us be same even if we have withstood the same t

(2)This is unfortunate, however, because for several reasons newspapers should be regarded as a better source. (3)It

8、 is true that television news can vividly bring into our living rooms dramatic events of singular importance, such as space launchings, natural disasters, wars and so on, but it cannot cover important stories in the depth they may deserve because of its time limitation. (4)On the contrary, print new

9、s excels in its ability to devote as much space to a story as it sees fit, though it cannot compete with television visually. (5)Besides, television is essentially a passive medium. (6)Whether we like a particular piece of news or not, all we have to do is to sit in front of the tube and “let it hap

10、pen”. (7)But a newspaper reader can select what he is interested in, skip what he thinks is boring or irrelevant and read it any time he likes to. (8)Most importantly, if all of us get news and information exclusively from television, there will be a decline in general literacy. (9)By contrast, alth

11、ough to follow and absorb a newspaper article is a little bit hard as it requires a high level of mental involvement, it helps to develop ones intellectual skills. (10)When we consider television versus newspaper papers on the basis of nature, format and coverage, shouldnt we think the latter is a b

(2)As it has seriously affected peoples daily life and economic development, the highest priority of governments has been given to the

13、 problem and many experts have been called in for advice. (3)A great number of solutions are being offered. (4)Some people suggest that more streets and roads should be constructed. (5)The advantage is obvious: it can reduce traffic density and hence speed up the flow of buses and cars. (6)But traff

14、ic flows constantly rise to fill whatever scale of roads and highways are provided for them. (7)And in a city with booming industry, land is precious and cannot be extravagantly used for traffic. (8)So others argue that the number of bicycles and cars should be limited while more bus routes should b

(10)Since neither of the suggestions can effectively solve the problem of heavy traffic, there is an incr

16、eased awareness that the two solutions may be combined with other possible solutions to produce the best effect.4College Lectures and DiscussionWhat is the difference between the lecture system and the discussion system- the two teaching methods prevalent on campus both at home and abroad? As a seni

17、or, it is not very difficult for me to tell. They have both strengths and weaknesses. Many students like the lecture system because it helps to learn quickly and much more. Attending a well-prepared lecture is a most rewarding experience because it can open a new horizon for you and save you much ti

18、me as welltime you might otherwise spend reading one book after another. Yet the fault of the lecture system is that it cultivates a bad habit of passive learning. Students bring their notebooks and even tape recorders to class to write everything down without thinking for themselves, let alone rais

19、e any question. On the contrary the discussion system encourages students to form their own ideas and opinions. To engage in frequent and even heated debate, you have to do a lot of homework beforehand, find answers yourselves and thus you develop the analytical skills which benefit both your academ

20、ic career and your future life. However, it also has its weakness: students do not learn systematically. In my opinion, both the systems must be improved and a hybrid method may gain more popularity among us students.5Will Phones Kill Letter Writing？Young people nowadays tend to phone each other mor

21、e often than write to each other. That leads some people to the worry that phones will kill letter writing. As a matter of fact, the worry is groundless. In my view, phones will never kill letter writing. Just as libraries or shops in the cyberspace can never replace the actual ones, phone calls wil

22、l never kill letter writing. They are only another means to transmit information or express feelings. Although phone calls have advantages over letter writing, for example, they are much faster and people can also hear the voice, so letters are irreplaceable. First of all, they are much cheaper than

23、 phone calls. Secondly, they convey information accurately. Thirdly, unlike phone calls, letters can be kept and re-read. Based on the above analysis, I feel safe to say letter writing can never be replaced by phone calls, though we find a dwindling number of letter writers these days.6Will Tourism

24、Bring Harm to the Environment?In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in China. Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on

25、our environment. As for me, Im firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial fa

26、cilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment. This process usually breaks the ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, trees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore the beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mu

27、d-rock flows come up. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environment occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists dont have the awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their garbage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, whic

28、h badly damages the balance of the natural environment. It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists and reducing to a minimum the poll

29、ution they cause. 7Awards and prizes are given for excellence in various fields. Do these awards and prizes serve a useful purpose? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.A prize or award, whether it is the Nobel Prize, the Academy Award, or Best Handwriting Prize, is important. Su

30、ch prizes can have economic, personal, and social effects that enrich the life of the recipient. Firstly, prizes like the Nobel Prize can be a cash award. But even for prizes that dont give money like the Academy Award can be profitable. An actress who wins Best Actress will be offered more roles an

31、d a higher pay than actresses who dont win the award. Even for the elementary student who received the schools Best Handwriting award may get a congratulations gift. Secondly, the personal benefits of receiving any award are evident. Any award winner is pleased that he or she has been recognized for

32、 his or her work. When people receive the Academy Award, they often cry they are so happy. Finally, everyone likes to be with a winner. A person who gets a prize often has many new, best friends. A winners social life is much better than that of a loser. Awards serve a very useful purpose in that their economic, personal, and social benefits add to the recognition that there is more good than bad. 8Learn From Books or ExperienceThere has been much talk recently about whether we should learn from books or we should learn from expe
