1.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Unity breeds success by commenting on Albert Einstein’s famous remark, “A snowflake is one of God’s most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together! ” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Unity breeds success
I assume that you are familiar with the words of Einstein, who once said, “A snowflake is one of God’s most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together! ” Definitely, A snowflake is easy to melt when it lands on the soil. However, when falling on the ground together, they can create a snow-wrapped world with splendid scene. It is obvious that unity transforms snowflake’s vulnerability into strength.
Simple as Einstein’s remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of unity. why does unity play an indispensable role in our life ? Unity enables us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. In such a competitive world of today, it is not personal strength that the achievement of any course depends on; it condenses the energies of a group. To further demonstrate the importance of unity, I would like to take Chinese Communist Party as a case in point, how could she achieve the victory of Anti-Japanese War if she failed to unite Chinese people of all ethnic groups?
From my perspective, at no time should we ignore the importance of unity. Accordingly，we should foster the consciousness of unity and always bear in mind that unity can create miracles no matter what obstacles we meet. “Many hands make light work.” John Heywood also once said. (234words )
我覺你應(yīng)該對(duì)愛因斯坦說過的一句話非常熟悉，叫做“一片雪花是上帝最脆弱的創(chuàng)造物之一，但他們抱在一起的時(shí)候卻令人刮目相看?！贝_實(shí)，一片雪花，降落在地，極易融化消失。然而，當(dāng)很多雪花一起飄落人間，他們足以創(chuàng)造出片銀裝素裹的美景。很明顯，正是團(tuán)結(jié)，將雪花從脆弱變得強(qiáng)大。
盡管愛因斯坦的話聽起來很簡(jiǎn)單，但卻包含了豐富的人生哲理，并告訴我們團(tuán)結(jié)很重要。為什么團(tuán)結(jié)會(huì)在我們的生活當(dāng)中扮演重要的角色呢？團(tuán)結(jié)可以使我們更順利地達(dá)成目標(biāo)、更快速地實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)如此激烈的當(dāng)今世界，任何事情的成功都無法僅僅依靠一個(gè)人的力量，而需要凝結(jié)整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)的力量。為了進(jìn)一步證明團(tuán)結(jié)的重要性，我想以中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨為例，如果中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨沒有團(tuán)結(jié)各族人民的力量，她怎么可能去的抗日戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的勝利呢？
在我看來，我們?nèi)魏螘r(shí)候都不能忽視團(tuán)結(jié)的重要性。因此，我們應(yīng)該培養(yǎng)團(tuán)結(jié)的意識(shí)，并且永遠(yuǎn)銘記在心，只要團(tuán)結(jié)，不管遇到什么樣的困難，我們都能夠創(chuàng)造奇跡。約翰.伍德也曾經(jīng)說過“眾人拾柴火焰高。”
2. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled It Pays to Planby commenting on the humorous saying,“It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
It Pays to Plan
“It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.” I assume that you are familiar with the humorous and commonly-heard saying. It’s still sunny and peaceful when Noah commences building the ark. It is obvious that Noah is planning for the unexpected weather.
Simple and humorous as the saying may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of plan. why does plan play an indispensable role in our life ? Making plan will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more detailed plan we make , the more likely we are to make full use of time, enhance our work efficiency make full preparation in advance for unexpected cases. To further demonstrate the importance of unity, I would like to take CEO as a case in point, how could a CEO, the head and decision-maker of a corporation , deal with all sorts of complicated things smoothly if he fails to draw up a detailed plan for routine work ?
From my perspective, at no time should we ignore the importance of making plans. Accordingly，we should draw up detailed plans before we start to do anything and do things as planned . ““He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” A famous philosopher also once said.

“諾亞在建造方舟的時(shí)候，并沒有下雨。”我認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該很熟悉這句幽默而又耳熟能詳?shù)乃渍Z。當(dāng)諾亞開始建造方舟的時(shí)候，還是晴空萬里、風(fēng)和日麗。很明顯，諾亞是在為難以預(yù)料的天氣做了計(jì)劃。
盡管這句俗語聽起來簡(jiǎn)單而又幽默，但是她卻包含了大量的生活哲理，并告訴了我們計(jì)劃的重要性。為什么計(jì)劃在我們的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢？制定計(jì)劃能使我們更順利地達(dá)成目標(biāo)、更快速地實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。我們制定的計(jì)劃越詳細(xì)，我們就越有可能充分地利用時(shí)間、提高工作效率并為未知的事件提前作好充分的準(zhǔn)備。為了記憶不證明計(jì)劃的重要性，我想用CEO的例子來說，一個(gè)企業(yè)的和決策者，如果部位日常工作制定詳細(xì)的計(jì)劃，如何才能順利地處理各種復(fù)雜的事情呢？
在我看來，我們?nèi)魏螘r(shí)候都不能忽略制定計(jì)劃的重要性，因此，我們?cè)谧鋈魏问虑橹岸紤?yīng)該制定詳細(xì)的計(jì)劃，并盡量按計(jì)劃執(zhí)行。一位的哲學(xué)家也曾經(jīng)說過“一個(gè)人如果沒有成功地制定計(jì)劃，他就是在計(jì)劃著失敗?！?BR> 3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled It Pays to be Modest by commenting on Joseph Addison’s famous remark “Modestyis not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
It Pays to be Modest
“Modestyis not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.”Joseph Addison once said. Modesty can not only make someone look beautiful and well-mannered, but also serve as a guarantee to one’s excellent character. It is obvious that people tend to lose their fine qualities if they are not modest.
Simple as Addison’s remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of modesty. why does modesty play an indispensable role in our life ? Modesty can inspire people to achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of modesty, however, I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Benjamin Franklin, who was once a printer of humble origins, attain tremendous achievements in so many fields such as science, politics, literature and navigation if he was simply content with small achievements?
We should always bear in mind that modesty will prompt us to go farther. Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments, instead , we need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. “Success consists in industry and modesty.” A philosopher once said. (229words)
“謙虛不僅僅是一個(gè)裝飾物，而且是美德的守衛(wèi)者?！奔s瑟夫.艾迪生曾經(jīng)說過。謙虛不僅可以使人看起來美麗、彬彬有禮，同時(shí)還是優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)的保證。很明顯，一個(gè)人如果不在謙虛，他也很可能會(huì)失去優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。
艾迪生的話也許聽起來簡(jiǎn)單，但她卻包含了大量的生活哲理，并且讓我們明白了謙虛的重要性。為什么謙虛在我們的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢？謙虛可以使人獲得更大的成功。那些謙虛的人永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)滿足于當(dāng)前的成就，取而代之的是，他們會(huì)一直努力地工作，來達(dá)成更高的目標(biāo)。相當(dāng)多的例子可以用來證明謙虛的重要性，但是除了下面這個(gè)例子，我想不到更好的了。曾只是個(gè)出身卑微的印刷工本杰明.富蘭克林，如果他只是滿足于小小的成就，他怎么可能后來在科學(xué)、政治、文學(xué)和航海學(xué)等那么多的領(lǐng)域取得巨大的成就呢？
我們應(yīng)該牢記在心，謙虛會(huì)讓我們走的更遠(yuǎn)。因此，任何時(shí)候我們都不能滿足于小小的成就，取而代之的是，我們應(yīng)該保持一個(gè)開放的心態(tài)，去接受新事物，吸收新信息，學(xué)習(xí)新知識(shí)并且抓住新機(jī)會(huì)。“成功在于勤奮和謙虛”一位哲人也曾經(jīng)說過。
4.Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Actions Speak Louder Than Wordsby commenting on William Penn’s famous remark “A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
“A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going .” I assume that you are familiar with William Penn’s remark. The watch is crucial for every individual, because it tells the time by moving constantly. It is obvious that a man is of little value if he fail to act like a watch.
William Penn’s remark aims at informing us of the significance of taking actions. We can not emphasize the importance of actions too much. Action will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. To further demonstrate the importance of A, I would like to take a famous Chinese fable story as a case in point. How could the “foolish old man” who dreamed of removing the mountain in front of his gate finally achieve his dream without taking constant actions ?
From my perspective , at no time should we ignore the value of actions. Accordingly, not only should us posses a great dream, but we also should take actions to make it come true. “actions speak louder than words.” A philosopher also once said. (205 words)
威廉.佩恩（英國(guó)海軍上將）曾說：“一個(gè)人的價(jià)值，就好比手表，是由他不斷的行動(dòng)來決定的?！笔直韺?duì)于每個(gè)人都很重要，因?yàn)樗ㄟ^一刻不停的移動(dòng)來告訴人們時(shí)間。很明顯，一個(gè)人如果不想手表那樣的行動(dòng)，也就價(jià)值甚微了。
威廉.佩恩的話目的在于告訴我們采取行動(dòng)的重要性。我們?cè)僭趺磸?qiáng)調(diào)行動(dòng)的重要性也不為過。行動(dòng)能使我們更順利地實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)、更快速地實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。我們采取的行動(dòng)越多，我們就越能積累經(jīng)驗(yàn)、掌握技巧并且接近目標(biāo)。為了進(jìn)一步證明行動(dòng)的重要性，我想以一個(gè)的中國(guó)寓言故事做為例子：夢(mèng)想移走門前大山的愚公，如果不采取持續(xù)的行動(dòng)，怎么能實(shí)現(xiàn)他這個(gè)巨大的夢(mèng)想呢？
在我們看來，任何時(shí)候我們都不應(yīng)該忽視行動(dòng)的價(jià)值。因此，我們不僅應(yīng)該擁有夢(mèng)想，還需要采取行動(dòng)去實(shí)現(xiàn)。一位哲學(xué)家也曾經(jīng)說過“行勝于言”。
5.Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Innovationby commenting on Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s famous remark ““Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy ofinnovation.”You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
The Importance of Innovation
“Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy ofinnovation.” I assume that you are familiar with Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s famous remark. It is obvious that a man who always stick to habit and experience can hardly create new things.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s remark aims at informing us of the significance of innovation. Why does innovation play an indispensable role in our life ? innovation can promote the advancement of both individuals and society as a whole. only those who are innovative can make continuous progress and maintain a competitive edge. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of A, and I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Steve Jobs, a genius who changed the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, launch so many powerful electronic products constantly without creative spirit？
We should always bear in mind that the consciousness of innovation is of great significance to us all. Hence, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things，using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life.“Innovation is the spirit of human being’s progress.” A philosopher once said. (202 words)
“不用心思的習(xí)慣性行為是創(chuàng)新的敵人”我覺得你對(duì)Rosabeth Moss Kanter的這句名言很熟悉。很明顯，一個(gè)總是遵循習(xí)慣和經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人是很難創(chuàng)造出新事物的。
Rosabeth Moss Kanter的這句名言目的在于告訴我們創(chuàng)新的重要性。為什么創(chuàng)新在我們的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢？創(chuàng)新可以促進(jìn)個(gè)人和整個(gè)社會(huì)的進(jìn)步。只有那些創(chuàng)新的人才能去的持續(xù)的進(jìn)步并且保持競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)。相當(dāng)多的例子可以用來證明創(chuàng)新的重要性，我想不出比一下這個(gè)例子更好的了：斯蒂夫.喬布斯，這個(gè)改變了我們的通訊方式、娛樂方式甚至是生活方式的天才，如果沒有創(chuàng)新精神，他怎么可能持續(xù)地發(fā)布功能強(qiáng)大的電子產(chǎn)品呢？
我們應(yīng)該牢記在心，創(chuàng)新對(duì)于我們每個(gè)人都非常重要。因此，在我們的工作、學(xué)習(xí)甚至是生活中，我們要養(yǎng)成發(fā)現(xiàn)新事物、使用新方法、運(yùn)用新思維習(xí)慣?！皠?chuàng)新是人類進(jìn)步的靈魂”一位哲學(xué)家也曾這么說過。

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others , however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Over the last half century the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations. This has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis. This means that change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and we need to constantly adapt to keep pace with it.
Those people who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the ‘safe’ patterns of behavior are not longer appropriate.
However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that ‘change is always for the better.’ Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts for the majority of people. A lot of innovations are made with the aim of making money for a few. This is because it is the rich and powerful people in our society who are able to impose changes(such as in working conditions or property developments ) that are in their own interests.
In conclusion, I would say that change can be stimulating and energizing for individuals when they pursue it themselves, but that all change, including that which is imposed on people, does not necessarily have good outcomes.
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on young children. Do you agree or disagree?
I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too mcuh 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-centered 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 non-virtual experiences is and 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 do 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.
Some people believe that children should be allowed to stay at home and play until they are six or seven years old. Others believe that it is important for young children to go to school as soon as possible. What do you think are the advantages of attending school from a young age?
In many places today, children start primary school at around the age of six or seven. However, because it is more likely now that both parents work, there is little opportunity for children to stay in their own home up to that age. Instead, they will probably go to a nursery school when they are much younger.
While some people think this may be damaging to a child’s development, or to a child’s relationship with his or her parents, in fact there are many advantages to having school experience at a young age.
Firstly, a child will learn to interact with a lot of different people and some children learn to communicate very early because of this. They are generally more confident and independent than children who stay at home with their parents and who are not used to strangers or new situations. Such children find their first day at school at the age of six very frightening and this may have a negative effect on how they learn.
Another advantage of going to school at an early age is that children develop faster socially. They make friends and learn how to get on with other children of a similar age. This is often not possible at home because they are the only child, or because their brothers or sisters are older or younger.
So overall, I believe that , attending school from a young age is good for most children. They still spend plenty of time at home with their parents, so they can benefit from both environments.
In many countries schools have severe problems with student behaviour.
What do you think are the causes of this?
what solutions can you suggest?
Poor student behavior seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.
In many countries, the birth rate is decreasing so that families are smaller with fewer children. These children are often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of price, and to behave as they please. This means that the children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living comes from.
When they got to school age they have not learnt any self control or discipline. They have less respect for their teachers and refuse to obey school rules in the way that their parents did.
Teachers continually complain about this problem and measures should be taken to combat the situation. But I think the solution to the problem lies with the families, who need to be more aware of the future consequences of spoiling their children. If they could raise them to be considerate of others and to be social, responsible individuals, the whole community would benefit.
Perhaps parenting classes are needed to help them to do this, and high quality nursery schools could be established that would support families more in terms of raising the next generation. The government should fund this kind of parental support, because this is no longer a problem for individual families, but for society as a whole.

It Pays to be Modest
“Modestyis not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.”Joseph Addison once said. Modesty can not only make someone look beautiful and well-mannered, but also serve as a guarantee to one’s excellent character. It is obvious that people tend to lose their fine qualities if they are not modest.
Simple as Addison’s remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of modesty. why does modesty play an indispensable role in our life ? Modesty can inspire people to achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of modesty, however, I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Benjamin Franklin, who was once a printer of humble origins, attain tremendous achievements in so many fields such as science, politics, literature and navigation if he was simply content with small achievements?
We should always bear in mind that modesty will prompt us to go farther. Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments, instead , we need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. “Success consists in industry and modesty.” A philosopher once said.

“謙虛不僅僅是一個(gè)裝飾物，而且是美德的守衛(wèi)者?！奔s瑟夫.艾迪生曾經(jīng)說過。謙虛不僅可以使人看起來美麗、彬彬有禮，同時(shí)還是優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)的保證。很明顯，一個(gè)人如果不在謙虛，他也很可能會(huì)失去優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。
艾迪生的話也許聽起來簡(jiǎn)單，但她卻包含了大量的生活哲理，并且讓我們明白了謙虛的重要性。為什么謙虛在我們的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢？謙虛可以使人獲得更大的成功。那些謙虛的人永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)滿足于當(dāng)前的成就，取而代之的是，他們會(huì)一直努力地工作，來達(dá)成更高的目標(biāo)。相當(dāng)多的例子可以用來證明謙虛的重要性，但是除了下面這個(gè)例子，我想不到更好的了。曾只是個(gè)出身卑微的印刷工本杰明.富蘭克林，如果他只是滿足于小小的成就，他怎么可能后來在科學(xué)、政治、文學(xué)和航海學(xué)等那么多的領(lǐng)域取得巨大的成就呢？
我們應(yīng)該牢記在心，謙虛會(huì)讓我們走的更遠(yuǎn)。因此，任何時(shí)候我們都不能滿足于小小的成就，取而代之的是，我們應(yīng)該保持一個(gè)開放的心態(tài)，去接受新事物，吸收新信息，學(xué)習(xí)新知識(shí)并且抓住新機(jī)會(huì)。“成功在于勤奮和謙虛”一位哲人也曾經(jīng)說過。
4.Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Actions Speak Louder Than Wordsby commenting on William Penn’s famous remark “A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words
“A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going .” I assume that you are familiar with William Penn’s remark. The watch is crucial for every individual, because it tells the time by moving constantly. It is obvious that a man is of little value if he fail to act like a watch.
William Penn’s remark aims at informing us of the significance of taking actions. We can not emphasize the importance of actions too much. Action will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. To further demonstrate the importance of A, I would like to take a famous Chinese fable story as a case in point. How could the “foolish old man” who dreamed of removing the mountain in front of his gate finally achieve his dream without taking constant actions ?
From my perspective , at no time should we ignore the value of actions. Accordingly, not only should us posses a great dream, but we also should take actions to make it come true. “actions speak louder than words.” A philosopher also once said. (205 words)

威廉.佩恩的話目的在于告訴我們采取行動(dòng)的重要性。我們?cè)僭趺磸?qiáng)調(diào)行動(dòng)的重要性也不為過。行動(dòng)能使我們更順利地實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)、更快速地實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。我們采取的行動(dòng)越多，我們就越能積累經(jīng)驗(yàn)、掌握技巧并且接近目標(biāo)。為了進(jìn)一步證明行動(dòng)的重要性，我想以一個(gè)的中國(guó)寓言故事做為例子：夢(mèng)想移走門前大山的愚公，如果不采取持續(xù)的行動(dòng)，怎么能實(shí)現(xiàn)他這個(gè)巨大的夢(mèng)想呢？
在我們看來，任何時(shí)候我們都不應(yīng)該忽視行動(dòng)的價(jià)值。因此，我們不僅應(yīng)該擁有夢(mèng)想，還需要采取行動(dòng)去實(shí)現(xiàn)。一位哲學(xué)家也曾經(jīng)說過“行勝于言”。

The Importance of Innovation
“Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy ofinnovation.” I assume that you are familiar with Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s famous remark. It is obvious that a man who always stick to habit and experience can hardly create new things.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s remark aims at informing us of the significance of innovation. Why does innovation play an indispensable role in our life ? innovation can promote the advancement of both individuals and society as a whole. only those who are innovative can make continuous progress and maintain a competitive edge. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of A, and I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Steve Jobs, a genius who changed the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, launch so many powerful electronic products constantly without creative spirit？
We should always bear in mind that the consciousness of innovation is of great significance to us all. Hence, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things，using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life.“Innovation is the spirit of human being’s progress.” A philosopher once said. (202 words)
“不用心思的習(xí)慣性行為是創(chuàng)新的敵人”我覺得你對(duì)Rosabeth Moss Kanter的這句名言很熟悉。很明顯，一個(gè)總是遵循習(xí)慣和經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人是很難創(chuàng)造出新事物的。
Rosabeth Moss Kanter的這句名言目的在于告訴我們創(chuàng)新的重要性。為什么創(chuàng)新在我們的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢？創(chuàng)新可以促進(jìn)個(gè)人和整個(gè)社會(huì)的進(jìn)步。只有那些創(chuàng)新的人才能去的持續(xù)的進(jìn)步并且保持競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)。相當(dāng)多的例子可以用來證明創(chuàng)新的重要性，我想不出比一下這個(gè)例子更好的了：斯蒂夫.喬布斯，這個(gè)改變了我們的通訊方式、娛樂方式甚至是生活方式的天才，如果沒有創(chuàng)新精神，他怎么可能持續(xù)地發(fā)布功能強(qiáng)大的電子產(chǎn)品呢？
我們應(yīng)該牢記在心，創(chuàng)新對(duì)于我們每個(gè)人都非常重要。因此，在我們的工作、學(xué)習(xí)甚至是生活中，我們要養(yǎng)成發(fā)現(xiàn)新事物、使用新方法、運(yùn)用新思維習(xí)慣?！皠?chuàng)新是人類進(jìn)步的靈魂”一位哲學(xué)家也曾這么說過。

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others , however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Over the last half century the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations. This has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis. This means that change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and we need to constantly adapt to keep pace with it.
Those people who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the ‘safe’ patterns of behavior are not longer appropriate.
However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that ‘change is always for the better.’ Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts for the majority of people. A lot of innovations are made with the aim of making money for a few. This is because it is the rich and powerful people in our society who are able to impose changes(such as in working conditions or property developments ) that are in their own interests.
In conclusion, I would say that change can be stimulating and energizing for individuals when they pursue it themselves, but that all change, including that which is imposed on people, does not necessarily have good outcomes.
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on young children. Do you agree or disagree?
I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too mcuh 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-centered 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 non-virtual experiences is and 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 do 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.
Some people believe that children should be allowed to stay at home and play until they are six or seven years old. Others believe that it is important for young children to go to school as soon as possible. What do you think are the advantages of attending school from a young age?
In many places today, children start primary school at around the age of six or seven. However, because it is more likely now that both parents work, there is little opportunity for children to stay in their own home up to that age. Instead, they will probably go to a nursery school when they are much younger.
While some people think this may be damaging to a child’s development, or to a child’s relationship with his or her parents, in fact there are many advantages to having school experience at a young age.
Firstly, a child will learn to interact with a lot of different people and some children learn to communicate very early because of this. They are generally more confident and independent than children who stay at home with their parents and who are not used to strangers or new situations. Such children find their first day at school at the age of six very frightening and this may have a negative effect on how they learn.
Another advantage of going to school at an early age is that children develop faster socially. They make friends and learn how to get on with other children of a similar age. This is often not possible at home because they are the only child, or because their brothers or sisters are older or younger.
So overall, I believe that , attending school from a young age is good for most children. They still spend plenty of time at home with their parents, so they can benefit from both environments.
In many countries schools have severe problems with student behaviour.
What do you think are the causes of this?
what solutions can you suggest?
Poor student behavior seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.
In many countries, the birth rate is decreasing so that families are smaller with fewer children. These children are often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of price, and to behave as they please. This means that the children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living comes from.
When they got to school age they have not learnt any self control or discipline. They have less respect for their teachers and refuse to obey school rules in the way that their parents did.
Teachers continually complain about this problem and measures should be taken to combat the situation. But I think the solution to the problem lies with the families, who need to be more aware of the future consequences of spoiling their children. If they could raise them to be considerate of others and to be social, responsible individuals, the whole community would benefit.
Perhaps parenting classes are needed to help them to do this, and high quality nursery schools could be established that would support families more in terms of raising the next generation. The government should fund this kind of parental support, because this is no longer a problem for individual families, but for society as a whole.
