2More measures to improve security have been introduced in many countries because of increasing crime rates.Do the benefits of these measures outweigh their drawbacks?Some people think that history has little or nothing to tell us, while others think that studying the past can help us better understand the present.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.Today, many employees work at home with modern telecommunications technology such as mobile phones and the Internet.Some people think that it only benefits the workers, not the employers.Do you agree or disagree?Some people think that students can benefit from attending private secondary schools.Others, however, feel that private secondary schools have negative effects on their students.Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.Children who grow up in families that are short of money are better prepared for the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents.To what extent do you agree or disagree?Multi-cultural societies, in which there is a mixture of different ethnic groups, bring more benefits than drawbacks to a country.To what extent do you agree or disagree?In many countries, there is not enough respect for elderly retirees.What are the reasons for this?

杨凡老师敬告考生:现在准确预测有一定难度,大家在考试时,注意把考试题目与预测题目联系起来。我们的口号是,“考试题目是大同小异的,我们要以不变应万变”。同学们可以参考我写的书“雅思写作官方题库范文大全”或者“7周轻松突破雅思写作拿7分”,其中有这8个题目的范文。
1.Some people think that examinations have some bad effects on students.Some people say they have some good effects on education.Discuss both sides and give your opinion.2.Nowadays it is difficult for university graduates to find a job.Analyze the personal and social reasons and offer some solutions.3.Do you think the advantages of Internet outweigh its disadvantages ? 4.It is generally acknowledged that the relationship among family members is now not as close as it used to be.Give possible reasons and your recommendations.5.In some countries, the national traditional arts are facing extinction.Some people think that the government should support them.Do you agree or disagree? What should the government do?
6.Some people hold that children do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
7.Many females join the army in some countries.Some people think women should not join the army.Do you agree or disagree? 8.Some people hold that criminals should be sent to prison.Some others think they should do something else outside prison as the punishment? What is your opinion?

第二篇:9月写作预测
2011年9月雅思写作预测发布啦!分别针对9月 3/15/17/24日的每一次考试哈,整个9月就这一个预测,没有单日的预测。必须参看预测题目前的使用说明哈!告诉自己以及身边每一个考雅思的人,不用到处乱逛了!你可以横向比较一下,到目前为止,业内我的雅思写作预测命中率最高。尤其从今年3月我的雅思写作预测全新改版以来,到目前(7月30日)为止共20次雅思考试,16次基本命中原题,三次沾边,一次失败。信强哥,雅思过!
我的预测如何使用?--必读,必读,必读!!
本次雅思大作文预测共分两个部分:雅思写作9-12月高危题库和雅思写作9月预测精选。高危题库有25个出题点,每个出题点下有若干题目。如果你足够爷们追求高分,且准备时间充足,那就把雅思写作9-12月高危题库中每一个出题点下的每一道单个题目写一下(只写素材,即分论点就行,大可不必写完整作文);如果你足够不爷们不追求高分,且时间准备不充足,那就按照雅思写作9月预测精选中给出的35道雅思写作试题准备考试。―高危题库‖的命中率要高于―预测精选‖,使用哪一个,取决于你自己的情况。但无论你使用哪一个,一定要记住:你只需写每道题目的素材,即两正一负3个分论点就行(每个主体段的主题句),也就是如果你按―预测精选‖准备考试,大概只需要写105句话。不管怎样,这个新版的预测是为了让大家在考前对雅思作文最常考到的素材有个彻底的了解和提升,避免到了考场用中文都不知该写什么的窘境。因此,如果你有一个月及以上的备考时间,哪怕一道题目都不写,但最好按照―高危题库‖中给出的题目提前用中文想想素材,都会极大减轻你到考场上会面临的压力并节省时间。其实关于我的预测,在这篇评论人人网雅思公共主页的文章中得到了更好的阐述,阅读这篇文章不仅对普通的小烤鸭大有益处,同时对从事雅思写作预测和培训的同行们也会有些积极的启发,点击这里http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4f7a1d290100t9io.html
注意,这里是强哥对雅思写作题型代号的专用缩略语:
辩论类AD=agree or disagree, DG=discuss both views and give your own opinion, LB=利弊 解释类RS=reason and solution,RE=Reason and effects, R.LB=reason和利弊分析,变态类BT=不常考的变态题型,题目怎么问,就怎么答,和解释类近似。
我的预测更新频率?--必读,必读,必读!!
每月的第一次雅思考试结束后,我会预测下一月的考试;―预测精选‖每月一改,―高危题库‖每个考试季度一改(每年的1-4月,5-8月,9-12月)。也就是本次9月的―预测精选‖只适用于9月份的考试,10月的要等9月第一次雅思考试结束后发布;本次的―高危题库‖适用于今年年底之前的任何一次考试,不会有大的变化。
强哥的雅思写作预测还在不断进步,更新,升级!
今后我的雅思写作预测将逐步增添更多业内无人能及的强悍功能和超级实用的补丁,敬请期待!
温馨提示:如果你恰好在考场上碰到和强哥预测里一模一样的题目,请抑制自己激动的心情,冷静淡定地把作文写完。

第三篇:高考写作预测
2018年高考英语书面表达预测26篇各类应用文(含中国文化等)
2018年高考英语书面表达预测(经典)
教育部考试中心主任姜钢在《中国高等教育杂志》刊登的文章《坚持以立德树人为核心深化高考考试内容改革》透露,在命题工作中更加注重“四个加强”:加强社会主义核心价值观的考查;加强依法治国理念的考查;加强中国优秀传统文化的考查;加强创新能力的考查。业内人士认为,无论是发言者的身份,还是探讨的话题,堪称权威重磅。
反观近年全国卷真题,2013年I卷的“中国画”、2013年II卷的“中国结”和2015年II卷的“重阳节”均考查了“中国优秀传统文化”这个话题;其中2015年II卷的“重阳节去敬老院”还考查“社会主义核心价值观(孝敬老人)”这个话题。1.稳。即文体基本局限于应用文中的书信体(含电子邮件)。
2.变。即可能会回避近年(特别是两三年内)考过的邀请信、求助信(请求信)、建议信、申请信、咨询信、约稿信。有可能倾向于近年未考过的祝贺信、感谢信、求职信等书信体;另外属于应用文的留言条也是生活中常用文体,也可能是考查方向(2009年I卷考查过留言条)。
1.很可能会突出“中国优秀传统文化”这个方向。例如中国的四大艺术“琴棋书画”、文房四宝、四大发明、四大名著、国粹京剧、唐诗宋词、古代建筑艺术、文化遗址、中国武术、中医中药等等,与这些相关的话题均可能是命题的重要素材。
2.可能是体现“社会主义核心价值观”,如“爱国”“诚实”“守信”等。实际上,这些也是中华优良的传统美德。
3.也可能是升学、留学、求职、招聘等方面相关的话题。
1.(祝贺信)假如你是李华,你的美国网友Peter参加中国象棋网络挑战赛获得了一等奖。请根据以下提示写一封英文电子邮件向他表示祝贺。1)祝贺他获奖;

2.(介绍古筝)假如你是李华,你的英国笔友Peter对中国传统乐器很感兴趣,写信请你向他介绍一款中国传统乐器,请给Peter写一封回信,内容要点如下: 1)古筝是最古老的中国传统乐器之一,有2500多年历史; 2)古筝是拨弦乐器,早期有5根弦,发展至今有21-25根弦; 3)古筝音色圆润清亮,音域宽广,有“东方钢琴”的美称; 4.随信附寄一张古筝乐曲光盘。注意:
1)词数100左右;
2)可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯; 3)开头语和结束语已给出。
参考词汇:the Chinese Zither 古筝;plucked instruments拨弦乐器;string琴弦;sonorous圆润低沉的;the Chinese piano东方钢琴 Dear Peter, I have gladly received your letter …
Best wishes!Yours, Li Hua 范文:
Dear Peter, I have gladly received your letter telling me that you’re interested in traditional Chinese musical instruments.Now, I’d like to tell you something about the Chinese Zither, one of the most ancient Chinese musical instruments with a long history of over 2500 years.The Chinese Zither is a plucked instrument and is played with both hands.In the early times it had 5 strings and has developed into 21 to 25 strings up to now.The Chinese Zither has a wide range and sonorous sound.As its playing appears and sounds like playing the piano, the Chinese Zither is sometimes called “the Chinese piano”.Enclosed with the letter is a CD of masterpieces of the Chinese Zither.I hope you’ll enjoy it.Best wishes!Yours, Li Hua 3.(成语故事)假如你是李华,你的美国网友Peter对你博客里的一幅漫画很感兴趣,给你留言询问其含义。
请你根据以下提示给他回贴。1)成语“闻鸡起舞”的典故; 2)成语寓意。注意:

My View on Job-hopping
Outline: 1.有些人喜欢始终从事一种工作,因为…….2.有些人喜欢经常换工作,因为…..3.我的看法
People's opinions are always different when they talk about job-hopping.Those who never change their job throughout their life maintain that they have accumulated enough experience to work smoothly and efficiently, so what's the point in changing it and taking another job? They also firmly believe that anyone who wants to excel in his specialty has to work hard on the same post for years to acquire the required skill and knowledge.However, many others hold just the opposite view.On the one hand, they believe that if the present job can offer neither satisfactory working conditions nor future opportunities, they will not hesitate a moment to leave.On the other hand, they hold that life is but once and job-hopping can provide rich and exciting experiences.My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-changing era of information, has become more than common and acceptable.If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger.If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it.So why not make a change?

Dear Sir or Madam,I learned from Beijing Youth Daily Oct.2 that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Beijing University of Technology, and obtained a bachelor's degree in the field of business manage¬ment.During my stay in the university my major courses included macro-economics, business communication skills, marketing and com¬puter applications.I was especially fond of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well.Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assis¬tant to the head of Marketing Department.My responsibilities consist¬ed of carrying out market surveys, writing reports and organizing meet¬ings within the department.This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways.In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers.I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks.My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP.Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker
I enclose herein my resume and some relevant documents as re¬quired.And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr.Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.I appreciate your sincere consideration of me, and am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours, Wang Peng
求职信sample 2
Directions: The summer vacation is drawing near.You, Liming by name, want to find a part-time job.Write an application letter of about 120-150 words within 30 minutes.Dear Sirs,I'm Li Ming, a sophomore majoring in English at XX University.I read in yesterday's newspaper that you are looking for a part-time secretary and I think I'll prove to be a real find for you.During the past two years at university, I‘ve taken over 18 compulsory and optional course, and have according improved my ability of English listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation considerably.Besides, I have learned a lot about foreign relations and trade.At leisure, I always try to grasp every precious opportunity to practice English with native speakers.As a matter of fact, I've already tried some translation and interpretation jobs.I once worked as a temporary interpreter at the East China Export Commodities Fair.In addition, during the past two years, I have been working as a part-time tour guide.My jobs offered me good opportunities to improve my English and work competence and I enjoy them very much.Two weeks from now, I will be on holiday again.If you can grant me the honor to work for your company as a secretary for two months, I'd feel obliged.Thank you for reading my application letter.I'm looking forward to your reply.1.Craze for Civil Service Examinations
1.现在有越来越多的大学毕业生报考公务员
2.引起此现象的原因
3.你的看法
Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees.Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force that can‘t be ignored.The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it‘s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts.On one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest.On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a as well stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as other comforts of life, it‘s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish萧条的 world economy.Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach(无可厚非), as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.The fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty崇高的 ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.5.Friendship
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: What does friendship mean? You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
1.友谊是人生永恒的主题。
2.友谊到底意味着什么。
3.友谊的重要性。
What does friendship mean? There is no definite answer.An eternal theme in literature, friendship is also indispensable in daily life.Friendship is to our life what salt is to dasher.When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade;when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation;if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you;if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help.We admire the great friendship between Marx and Engel, which firmly combined them and pushed them forward on the road to exploring and fulfilling Communism.Friendship isn't almighty, but no one can live happily without it.3.Private Tutoring
Outline: 1.为孩子聘请家教目前非常普遍 2.家教的利与弊 3.我的看法
Sample: Private tutoring is ―in‖.A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education.Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chance of obtaining a good education.When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless.Private tutoring is the only solution.As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages.For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils‘ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health.For another, some teachers, busy ―shuttling‖ from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties.What‘s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages.Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils‘ potentials.Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.Sample 1

Suppose that I am chosen to be an exchange student, ready to stay and study in the USA for a while, I will show the American people the best of our country and our culture.I think the best way to achieve this purpose is to bing them some souvenirs that can best represent Chinese characteristics.I would choose Chinese Ties.The reasons for my choice are twofold.First things first, it symbolizes a Chinese dream, a dream deeply rooted in the Chinese culture—a harmonious society.Typically round in shape, a Chinese Tie reflects ancient Chinese outlook on the world, which, they believe, should be round.In turn, round things signify a harmony.Secondly, I think few things are so wonderful as a...., since just in its middle is a square hole, which has another meaning– the idea of order and rule.Perhaps, there are numerous things that can stand for China, such as …… However, the best that can visualize China, as far as I am concerned, is the Chinese tie.Sample 2

The Fascinations of China
China, one of the cradles of human civilization, possesses so many treasures with Chinese characteristics that numerous foreign friends come to visit her.The first place to go to is, the Great Wall, which is the symbol of China and one of the seven wonders in the world.What's more, it is said to be the only construction that can be seen from the outer space.In the imperial periods, it was used in defense of the dynasties.Since liberation, it has become a place of interest.There is a famous saying: “He who does not reach the Great Wall isn't a true man.”
China is home to Panda, an animal with only two colors, white and black, but very cute.It's our national treasure, often functioning as a friendly diplomat.Terracotta-clay warriors unearthed in Xi'an, a famous ancient city-were sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China.When former U.S.President Clinton came to China, he visited terracotta‘s first.The above mentioned are just a wave of the sea.If you want to know more about this ancient nation, come and be our guest.Sample 3

Something I Admire about the Western Culture
Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.First and foremost, the equality between parents and children.The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents‘order, that is, they are more like close friends.Second, the independent personality.Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent.They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background.If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status.It's a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.1.“A Letter to the Minister of Education”.Your must base your composition on the following instructions(given in Chinese).Your composition should be no less than 120 words.Remember to write it neatly.假设你是李文,请你就学校假期的安排给教育部长写一封信,向他建议将学校传统的长假调整为几次短假并陈述相关的原因比如:学习时间过长可能引起过度疲劳,而放假过长则可能导致浪费时间等等。
A Letter to the Minister of Education
Dear Minister of Education,I am a college student and I would like to suggest that students should be given several shorter breaks through the year instead of the traditional long vacations.The reasons why I am in favor of it are as follows.First, students must work very hard at their studies.If they work for too long without a break, they may become overtired and discouraged.They may lose their enthusiasm for learning.Second, a very long vacation is not necessary.Students can recharge their energy in a few days rather than weeks.Furthermore, many students do not use a long vacation wisely and just waste their time instead of doing something meaningful.And last but not least, vacations give students time to explore other interests and perhaps apply what they have been learning to the real world.If they always focus on their studies.They may lose touch with what is happening in their society.In conclusion, I believe that students today would benefit more from several short vacations than they do form two long ones.I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final wise decision.Yours Sincerely

Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university.Now the dream has come true.But how do we college students like our campus life?
Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding.Besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspects.Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much.In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school.The only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the Internet.Sample 2

My fellow students,Last Friday, the Students‘ Union of our Department organized a clean-up project to Zhongshan Lake.The purpose of this project is to enhance(加强)the environment awareness of general public.Late in the afternoon around 4, a group of 35 volunteers went to the park where we pick up the trash(垃圾)left by some tourists.As head of the group, I would like to report to you on the event.Actually, we did a wonderful job.When we were collecting the trash near the lake, many people paused to watch and then came to our help, showing considerable appreciation and support.But our work still left some to be desired.For one thing, since our project started late in the afternoon, hours were not long enough to attract enough people as we had predicted.For the other, lots of people passed by apparently not knowing what we were doing.But for these two drawbacks, our project could have been much better and more effective.So, following are two of my suggestions: next time we have similar activities, try to start earlier, say in the morning.In this case we can put in more hours.And also, as we are getting along, we can put up some posters to tell people what we are doing and call their attention to environment protection.Thank you.Sample 2 真题演讲例文

5.Should College Students Live on Campus
v a.有些人喜欢住在学校的宿舍,因为……
v b.有些人喜欢住在校外,因为……
v c.我的看法
There are an increasing number of students who choose to live off campus.Parents and university administrations understandably reacted differently.They voiced concerns about security and the threat of off-campus lifestyles getting out of control.However, college students have their own reasons for their choices.Some students prefer to live on campus for the following reasons.First, campus residents are closer to classes, the library, and other resources, so they are more likely to succeed in college and complete their bachelor‘s degree in four years.Furthermore, living in a dorm is a great opportunity to meet all kinds of new people and develop relationships with them, so students living on campus are more sociable.Last but not the least, living on campus is cheaper and more convenient.Often times, off-campus housing is more expensive than on-campus housing and while living on campus, you don‘t have to worry about monthly rent payments and utility bills.Some others choose to live off campus because they believe living off campus they are more independent, with more privacy and a lot more quiet time.Living off campus gives them freedom from those dorm rules and allow them to set their own.The extra space also means that one can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of his own home.As for me, I‘m a faithful supporter of the former group because I, living on campus myself, have witnessed and enjoyed all the convenience and happiness of doing so.To me, living on campus undoubtedly adds an important element to the complete college experience.6-1.How to improve student's mental health
Sample 1
1、大学生的心理健康十分重要
2、因此,学校可以......3、我们自己应当......As is known to all, psychological health is as important as, if not more important than, physical health for a student during his/her growth.However, it‘s quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy.Undoubtedly, schools and universities should take great account in the responsibilities of students‘ psychological health.Relevant courses and activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain and improve it.For example, there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves.From my perspective, what they can do is trying to stay positive, optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools.To be more specific, they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind.Meanwhile, harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided.6-2面对压力、困难、挫折、灾难的主题

With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.Some people are afraid of pressure.They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness.In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally.That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be.Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation.Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time.It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life.People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as it is.What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.Sample 3 On disasters 面对灾难

2.举个例子说明 3.总结
Crisis is to us what illness is to our body.On the one hand, illness can harm our body and sometimes even put an end to our life.In the same manner, crisis can cause damage to our life and career.On the other, just as illness sometimes can harden and strengthen our body(our immune system), so crises, especially those minor crises in life sometimes can be turned into a bless to us.A ready example that comes to mind is the earthquake crisis that has recently devastate most of Kyushu, Qinghai Province.Admittedly, it has cost us quite a lot.So many people were seriously injured and still so many even lost their lives.And our economy suffers a temporary setback and a slowdown.However we also have learned a great deal from it.Never has our nation been so united or have our people been more aware of value of lives.All in all, if we can bear in mind all the sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then all our blood, tear, toil and sweat will not go unrewarded.7.投诉信

Yours sincerely,Wang Ming

Sample 1: Statistics of Family Expenses in Shanghai
As is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the City of Shanghai within two decades(from 1980 to 2000).The most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%.Expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another.The most likely factors accounting for these changes are as follows:
Development in economy is the fundamental one.The increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing.Another factor lies in the development of people‘s concept.People begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.These changes should also be attributed to social reforms.In the 1990‘s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education.Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges.People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing.That's partly why the expenses for ''others'' doubled.As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main reasons: the cancellation of free medical care and people‘s awareness of the importance of health.The changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.Sample 2:

As we all know, white trash mainly refers to the plastic bags we consume everyday.And this pollution has been affecting us for many years.It is reported that 3 billion plastic bags are used on a daily basis.Fortunately, the government has take measures to deal with the increasingly serious problem.A new ban was launched not quite long ago that plastic shopping bags are no longer free.This ban is significant in the following aspects.First of all, it contributes to the reduced quantities of plastic bags and therefore can relieve the pressure of white trash on the environment.Furthermore, the environmental awareness will be strengthened and thus benefit other aspects of the environmental protection.In all, we have only one earth, which doesn‘t belong to our generation only.It‘s the responsibility for every individual to take actions to protect it.Let‘s use more cloth bags, baskets instead of plastic bags.Only by taking actions can we really rescue our mother earth from being drown in the trash.住房话题参考阅读文章
“To buy or to rent”, that is a question about living for most young people who just graduated from university or who have worked for one or two years in big cities.Many people see it as a torturing choice and feel weak in face of it.sub-topics:
1.Which one will choose or have you chosen? Why?
2.Discussion: the advantages and disadvantages of buying a house and renting a house.3.What's your expectation about the realty market in the coming 10 years?
Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Many are now renting, but are finding it difficult financially
Owning your home was once part of the American dream.But that dream has faded because of the economic recession in the United States.Millions of Americans have been unable to pay the mortgage on their houses and have had to leave them.Without a home of their own, many people are now renting, but this also can be difficult financially.Until recently, Brenda Ganaway lived in a home of her own in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb close to Washington, D.C.But then the economic crisis hit and she was unable to keep paying the mortgage on her house.“We were behind on a few payments and we couldn't get a loan anywhere, so they just immediately foreclosed it and told us we had a certain amount of days to leave,” she explained.There are millions of people like Brenda Ganaway in America now.Raphael Bostic is the assistant secretary at the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD.He says the number of Americans who own their homes is steadily dropping.“The homeownership rate in the United States used to be somewhere close to 70 percent.We've fallen off by several million households now,” he said.“And so the rate is down considerably.And a lot of those have now gone into the rental market.”
Renting does have some advantages over home ownership.If a renter wants to move, for example, he does not have to worry about finding a buyer for the house.Yazgul Odekova manages a rental property in Alexandria.She says the major reason people rent is that it is usually less expensive than owning a home.“People rent for different reasons.Number one is affordability,” she said.“It is cheaper to rent and it is risk-free.”
Renting is cheaper for many reasons, says Arun Shu.He is an international businessman who rents a home near Washington.He says there are many costs to owning a house besides paying the monthly mortgage.“If you decide to buy a house, a lot of expenses are involved.Not only payment if you take a mortgage, but also you have to pay property tax, maintenance and upkeep of the house,” he said.“You probably will want to spend some money on renovating the house, remodeling parts of the house if you buy [a] used house.”
But even renting can be difficult in today's market, especially in big cities.Danilo Pelletiere is an official at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.He says there just are not enough homes to rent and poor people are the most affected.“In the United States there has been a focus both at the local level and a national level on home ownership.That affected renters, low-income people and the like and a result you have shortage of three million units of affordable housing for lowest income people,” he said.Even if a house is available, Mr.Pelletiere says, being able to pay for it is another problem.To afford the rent, he says, many poor people work more than one job.“Today you need multiple minimum wage jobs to be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment,” he added.“We calculated about $18 an hour.”
Even if a person can afford the rent there are other obstacles.Yazgul Odekova, the property manager in Alexandria, says most people just do not meet the necessary qualifications, such as being able to prove they can afford the rental payments.“Right now from every 10 application we turned down nine.It is not just because people are dishonest.Sometimes people have big medical bills, sometimes people have bankruptcy, because suddenly they became sick and don't have health insurance.Sometimes peoples' income is very low, sometimes it is unstable relationship between people,” Odekova said.HUD's Raphael Bostic says the U.S.government has programs to help low-income families pay the rent.“We provide direct subsidy where we try to make sure that families are not overly burdened [so we don't wanna go over that 30 percent ratio], but that they can get into some decent high-quality housing,” Bostic said.But most analysts agree that until the U.S.economy improves, buying a home or renting one will be especially hard for low-income people.1.My View on the Income Gap
Outline: 1.收入差距悬殊是当前社会的一种现象 2.人们对之褒贬不一 3我的看法
Sample
Now the income gap is getting wider and wider.In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-fund companies, an executive‘s yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker‘s.Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions.Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap.In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push to advancement.Others speak of its side effect: income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our country‘s principle.From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well.An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its economic development.Therefore, while we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wide one.4.Fast Food

Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity.First, it is quick and convenient.Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute.You can satisfy your hunger instantly.Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive.Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant.However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition.Doctors suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food.Although home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs.1.2010年作文预测--地震慰问信

Volunteer teaching in the west
1.每年,高校许多大学生受到鼓舞去贫困地区支教。
2.支教活动的意义。
3.我的看法。
Every year, college students are inspired to help students with their study in underdeveloped areas in china.They have been trying their best to impart knowledge and offering help to those students who are so eager to learn.This volunteer practice has been beneficial in two aspects.On one hand, college volunteers are really devoted to the cause.They have opened the eyes of students in underdeveloped regions to the outside world by bringing them new knowledge and thoughts.As a result, they are extremely welcome and respected by the children there.On the other hand, college students have received a rigorous training by adapting to the harsh living conditions.They are learning how to deal with difficulties and face challenges as well.What‘s more, by any means, this volunteer experience will be always a valuable asset in his or her life.In my opinion, every Chinese citizen is responsible for the development of education in china.And we college students should take the lead in response to the appeal for offering aid to children in poor areas.
