1、the third part about speaking of IELTSStage 3Opinions on issues1. What is your opinion of the one child-policy?A I agree with Chinas one-child policy. I think that China needs to control its population right now. How else can we make China strong and provide enough food and education for all the peo

2、ple? Perhaps in the future when our country is more developed, we can allow people to have more children. But for now, the governments policy on family planning is necessary.B I disagree with the one-child policy. I think people should be allowed to have as many children as they want. There are a lo

3、t of families who need more than one child in order to take care of their farmlands. The peasants are the ones who are suffering the most, because in the past, they used to be able to have more than one child to help with the work. In the city, many families only want to have one child anyways. I do

4、 hope that this policy will change very soon, because its not a fair policy.2. Do you think smoking is a problem that needs special attention?Does smoking need special attention? Thats an interesting question. I suppose it does. A lot of people in China arent aware of the health consequences of smok

5、ing. They just smoke because its socially acceptable to do so. If more people knew they could get cancer from smoking, theyd probably stop, or at least smoke less. I know that the tobacco industry is big business, and if we tried to get rid of smoking, wed also be getting rid of jobs, but at the ver

6、y least, people should be told about the potential dangers of smoking. That way they can make an informed choice about whether to smoke or not.3. Do you think Chinas membership in the WTO will benefit China?Well, its a big issue and a lot of people are thinking about it. Im quite sure itll benefit C

7、hina and other WTO members as well if China becomes a member of the WTO. The common Chinese consumer will benefit most from it because prices of imported products will go down. Also, the quality and after-sales services of national products will be improved. I guess the main danger we have to face i

8、s the new competition to our national industries but I think theyre up to the challenge.4. What do you think of the unemployment problem in China?I think the unemployment problem is getting more and more serious now. Chinas a country with a large population and there has always been more labour than

9、 required. It was not a big problem in the past under the- planned economy system, but now enterprises can not afford the burden of a surplus labour force and many workers in state owned enterprises are being laid off. Something must be done about it before more serious problems arise.5. What do you

10、 think is the most serious social problem in China?A The most serious? Well, Im no expert to say for sure, but Id probably say its unemployment. There are a lot of people who have recently been laid off work. They have little income and many have a family to support. I think they should be given a c

11、hance to get another job-maybe by giving them more training or something like that. Perhaps if the government were to provide re-training to people whove been laid off.that might help the problem.B Thats difficult to say, but- Id guess its overpopulation, even though weve made a lot of progress. Alt

12、hough China has a strict family-planning policy with one family having only one child, the population is already over 1.2 billion and its still growing. It not only causes a shortage of food and shelter but it causes a lot of other problems like unemployment and crime. We can be flexible with this p

13、olicy, but I think, in general, we need to enforce this policy quite strictly.6. What do you think about the environmental problems in China?. The environment is getting more and more serious as a problem. Well, as far as Im concerned, I think these problems are solvable if we work together. I think

14、 also that people should be more vocal to press for change and I think that people should try to set good examples. The process is beginning to occur but the problem is that we have only scratched the surface of the problem. If we dont pay more attention to it then we will have an unbearable quality

15、 of life.7. What do you think of using science in food production?A I know many people think its bad because its not natural but I think its probably quite necessary because our population is growing fast. If we just depend on regular crops were going to have a difficult time feeding everyone. We ne

16、ed to use such technology to take care of our needs or otherwise we will be consuming an unfair percentage of the worlds resources, while the underdeveloped countries are left to starve.B While some argue that its necessary, I think its dangerous. We need natural crops to regenerate the soil and whe

17、n we start playing around with nature we may run into trouble. I think we are getting to a state where we will be dependent totally on our unnatural food processes, and when we have no ability to even use artificial ways to produce food then we will face starvation.8. What do you think of advertisin

18、g in sports and entertainment events?Well there are two sides to this issue. On the one hand people say that to have sports you must allow them to find ways to make money. After all, we cant have every athlete only sponsored by the government. On the other hand, when we let advertisements into sport

19、s we are allowing big companies to control events.9. What do you think of violence on TV and in films?A The number of violent TV programs is rising, even here in China. But I think its quite natural to watch shows with a bit of violence because it makes it more exciting. Usually the violence in Chin

20、ese movies involves Gong Fu, except when they come from Hong Kong or Taiwan. Our violence is more just hand to hand fighting. I mean, look at all the societies with no violence on TV and they are just as violent. I dont think there is much of a relationship between violence on TV and violence in soc

21、iety.B Im very concerned about the violence on TV. Its pretty bad now and I think it affects theway people think. Children get more aggressive and they use these characters as models. I think the worst thing it teaches people is that justice can only come by force. In that case, how can we ever trus

22、t the processes of negotiation and diplomacy?10. What do you think of the problem of piracy?A I think its a serious issue that wed better start addressing because a lot of companies are hurt by it and it affects our foreign investment. I still see a lot of it going on in the streets and sometimes th

23、ey can get quite pushy. I mean if! were involved in the clothing industry or music or film industry I wouldnt want to sell my things in a place where the danger of having my stuff copied is too high. So wed better tackle this problem before we get countries complaining about us to the WTO.B I think

24、the issue is not very important and has been over-exaggerated. A lot of companies are trying to sell their products at too high a price here in China and that only invites people to copy it. For example, a video in America is worth about 12 US dollars. Thats about a hundred RMB in China. Why should

25、we pay that much for a video? Also the authorities are doing a good job trying to stop it from occurring, but since its really just a petty crime, why should we pay as much attention to it as more serious crimes?Opinions on various institutions and policies11. What do you think of the media in your

26、home country?A I think it does a good job of giving us the up to date news and providing us with entertainment. Its certainly improved over the years and its getting more and more sophisticated. For example, there are now a greater range of programs like talk shows, documentaries, comedies and even

27、movies on them. There are even now a lot of investigative journalism programs that expose the wrongdoings of companies or developers. I think the best improvements have come in the television area. Newspapers are probably pretty similar to how theyve been operating for some time but they are also no

28、w offering a better range of services.B I think the media needs more improvements. It needs to have more services and start getting more specialized because I know many people are bored with what they currently offer. Also, people would like 1:0 see more in-depth coverage of issues and more feedback

29、 from a wide section of society. Also, I know many people who think there should be more coverage of events that occur outside of China in the newspapers. Also, I think there should be more channels. For example, Ive heard that in some cities in North America there are over a hundred channels with m

30、any specialized channels. I think we should have that kind of situation.12. What do you think of the transportation system in your hometown?A I think the transportation system in my hometown is quite good. Compared to many other cities, the bus system is quite cheap and clean and because there are e

31、nough lines they are usually not too crowded. The roads are well designed and they are wide enough for people to pass through without any major jams. Another thing I think is good are the bicycle lanes, which are just wide enough for people to get through. I think the main reason our transportation

32、system is so good is because we have good city management. They seem to know exactly what we need and want.B I think the transportation in my hometown is terrible. The buses are just too old and need to be upgraded. For example, its not that unusual to see a lot of buses broken down on the roads. As for the road system, its obvious that the roads are not well planned. They make the roads wide enough but dont give enough room to let cars exit the main roads. The side lanes are always congested and sometimes you can get stuck in a traffic jam for over 40 minutes.13. What d
