(一)Donating Money on Campus
1. 如今校园里经常会出现大学生捐款的现象(为同学或者别人)
2. 你怎么看待这种现象?
【范文】
Recently many university students launch spontaneous donations for helping classmates suffering from serious illnesses or victims in disasters.Along with the behavior of donating, the donation amount has become a controversial topic.Some even hold the opinion that the amount is a standard for measuring love.The more money is donated, the more help the needed can get.I support that donation for the needed is a kind of behavior which shows kind giving, unselfish and priceless devotion, benefiting in improving interpersonal relationship and building up a harmonious society.What matters a lot is not how much money is donated, but the care and support hidden behind.All in all, the behavior of donation itself should be encouraged, but it shouldn’t become a competition.The money donated cannot be equated with the love and the meaning hidden.Every penny is an expression of love.【点评】
文章首段引出要讨论的话题—--大学生捐款现象,并引出由这一现象衍生出的人们对捐款金额的争议,甚至有的人认为捐款数目越多,需要获得帮助人受益越多。第二段提出自己对捐款一事的看法---捐款是一种行善积德,无私奉献,大公无私的行为,有助于改善人际关系,创建和谐社会。最后一段进行归纳总结,说明应该鼓励捐款这一行为,但不应该将捐款视为一种“金钱”的竞争,无论捐多捐少,每一分每一厘都意义深重。
第一段中launch spontaneous donations表示“发起自发捐款”,后面for 接的是捐款救助的对象;第二段中improving interpersonal relationship表示“改善人际关系”,building up a harmonious society表示“创建和谐社会”;第三段中的cannot be equated with表示“与„„相提并论”。

3. 为了改变这种情况,我认为„„
【范文】
Internet has penetrated into all aspects of our life and work.On the Internet, we can do anything anywhere anytime, hunting for jobs, chatting with friends, shopping online, and so on.What strikes us most is some students, even in primary schools, search for answers on Internet while doing their homework.The motives for dependence on Internet are various and complicated, including releasing dissatisfaction and anger against society by playing computer games, fulfilling self-value by indulging in the virtual world.Most of them are related with their environment of growing up.Without appropriate guidance, it may cause serious mental illnesses and bad habits such as laziness.In order to change the situation, governments should take measures to enrich people’s life, parents should share more time with children for understanding them better, and teachers should aim to develop students’ self-discipline.Most importantly, people should be aware of the harmfulness of depending on Internet too much.【点评】
本题属于提纲式文字命题。文章第一段指出现象 “网络已经渗透到生活的点点滴滴,导致人们习惯于依赖网络”;第二段分析了依赖网络的动机----通过玩游戏发泄不满和怨恨情绪,在虚拟世界中实现自我价值,同时也指出其危害---导致严重的心理疾病及不良恶习。最后一段从政府、家长、老师的不同角度提出解决意见。
第二段中releasing dissatisfactory and anger 表示“发泄不满和怨恨”;indulging in the virtual world表示“沉迷于虚拟世界”;第三段中be aware of表示“意识到”。
My View on University Students’ Employment
1. 目前对于大学生来说就业仍是最大的问题,有人认为是大学生人数太多,有人认为是
大学生能力差,„„
2. 你对此有什么看法?
【范文】
Nowadays, the employment of college students is still the main concern since many of them cannot find a job.When looking into the reasons, some hold that it is due to the increasing enrollment of universities, some think the degradation of ability accounts for it, while others believe it should blame governments for not offering enough occupations.The following factors can account for this problem.First and foremost, college students hold wrong attitudes towards jobs and set their job objectives at unreasonable levels.Furthermore, college students fail to realize their own defects and to make further self-improvements.Last but by no means the least, the courses offered by colleges cannot meet the requirements of economic development.What’s more, related departments have not provided more trainings and internship opportunities, which benefit students a lot before they enter society.All in all, only through the combined efforts of related ones can college students find satisfactory jobs.【点评】
文章第一段指出目前大学生就业难的现象,提及不同的人对待此事的看法。文章第二段引出自己对此事的看法,最后一段总结全文。
在第二段陈述自己的观点时,作者分别从学生,学校及政府部分的角度着手分析,大学生对待工作期望值过高并且没有认清自身的缺点;学校课程设置跟不上经济发展的要求;政府部门未提供足够多的培训实习机会。
第一段中increasing enrollment表示“扩招”;第二段中列举原因分别用First and foremost表示“首先”,Furthermore表示“其次”,Last but by no means the least表示“最后但并非最不重要”。第三段中only…can为倒装句,表示“只有„„才能”。
How to Prevent High-rise Fires?
1.近来城市高楼火灾频发
2. 造成事故的原因
3. 应如何防范火灾
【范文】
Recently there has been a remarkable growth of fire accidents, and almost every day we can see fire engines rushing through streets.Fires have not only resulted in heavy economic losses but also injured and killed many people.In most cases, fires are caused by casual carelessness and violation of fire safety regulations;some are due to improper usages or poor quality of electrical appliances;yet some indirectly arise from ignoring fire precautions.Generally speaking, fire disasters can be prevented if proper precautions will be taken.First of all, we should develop people's sense of alertness and keep fire-prevention in mind and take care in daily life, such as checking electrical appliances regularly, and making sure cigarettes and stoves with no flames before leaving rooms.Furthermore, make sure that students and children know the measures of fire control better.Last, we can add more fire facilities in high-rise buildings.【点评】
首段直接点题,说明现象;第二段分述原因;第三段呼应第二段,给出防范建议。范文首段提出火灾频发这一普遍现象;第二段提及三个原因,分别是:粗心大意,违反火灾安全条款;家用电器质量太差或者使用不当;忽视火灾预防措施会间接导致火灾。第三段就预防火灾的措施提出建议,首先提高民众的警惕性,从身边的小事做起,并举例说明。其次要让学生和儿童更好地了解控制火灾的方法;最后增加消防设施。
第二段中的casual carelessness表示“不经意间的粗心大意”,precautions表示“预防措施”;第三段中的check electrical appliances regularly表示“定期检查家用电器”。

1.近来,地震、海啸、泥石流等自然灾害频频光顾地球,很多人因此出现了恐慌的心理,认为地球末日可能来临
2. 作为一名大学生,你有什么看法,且如何缓解自己的心理恐慌?

预测主题之第十位:友谊
Friendship is a kind of human relations.It is a human instinct to make friends.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement.With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy.It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help.No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along.Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends.Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and kindness of heart.Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such fine qualities.Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings.We should forgive their failures and do our best to help them.In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds.Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.预测主题之第九位:压力
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically.In fact, we make a choice between “flight or fight”and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response.It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.预测主题之第八位:节约
As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, water is being wisely utilized in the daily life of a family.The good conduct is indeed praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society.The implied meaning of the drawing can be stated as follows.To begin with, to practise economy is closely related to our daily life.In terms of our clothing, food, sheltering, and transport, much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power, water, coal, gas and so on.We, as university students, should take the wise use of paper and second-hand textbooks into consideration.What’s more, the public participation is the foundation of a society in which to practise economy is advocated and treasured.Since social environment is shaped by the general public, the cultivation of economy-practising society depends on the active involvement of every member of our society, be he old or young.In sum, our daily life should be1
permeated with the sense of practising economy and public participation should be encouraged.In my view, necessary measures should be taken so as to practise economy.On the one hand, we should launch a public campaign to help people build up the sense of practicing economy in our routine life.On the other hand, education on how to practise economy must be promoted by relevant government departments and professionals at different levels.Only in this way can we create a real economy-practising society.预测主题之第七位:健康
Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health.But how to keep healthy? Different people may give different answers to this question.In my opinion, it is essential to do the following.First, it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise every day.Research shows that getting plenty of exercise make the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder.This strengthens the heart, reduces the chance of heart attack, and helps lower blood pressure.That“s why more and more people are becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises.Every morning many people get up early and take much exercise.Some practice shadowboxing and swordplay while others run, jog, walk or dance to music.In the afternoon,there are also many people keen on sports.Some play basketball or volleyball or table tennis, others go in for gymnastics or track events.Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health.They advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish.Fat can build up in the arteries, block the flow of blood, and cause a heart attack or stroke.预测主题之第六位:竞争
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth.In a sense, competition is one of the motive force to the development of society.In fact, the only way our world reward people is to give laurels to the winners, not to the losers.What is more, by attempting to compete at different activities, we learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses.Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.To go ahead, to acquire possession, we should be competitive.To us, industriousness and ambition are positive values.Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy(战利品), and the contract.Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.预测主题之第五位:纪律
Some people say that the best way to raise children is to them to be independent thinkers.Other people disagree and say that children need to be taught discipline in order to let them successful.In other word, children should either be granted freedom, or be given more discipline.I tend to agree with a policy of firm discipline.The people whose view places emphasis on encouraging children to think freely hope the child will be able to understand and govern the world.The child is considered as an “equal” to the adult.This view has been popular in the western countries, where corporal punishment of children is now illegal.The concept of “rights” for children is part of a wider political movement
that also asserts right for women, animals and environment.Discipline is justified because adults are generally wiser than children.Discipline in childhood fosters(养育)the child for the hardship of his future life.预测主题之第四位:自信
Confidence is power--the power to attract, persuade, influence, and succeed.Imagine what your life would be like if you had an abundance of selfconfidence!Confidence isn”t an inherited trait, it“ s a learned one.This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.The very first thing you have to do to create abundant self-confidence is to start thinking with confidence.Pay attention to your internal dialogue, and learn to notice when you allow negativity or doubt to control the course of your thinking.Your environment has a tremendous influence on you.The books you read, the people you spend time with, and the music you listen to all influence the way you think and feel about yourself and the world around you.If you”re in a situation where you"re discouraged, such as an unhealthy relationship or a miserable job, you have to change that situation if you want your self-confidence level to grow.Create an environment that supports you if your desire to have abundant self-confidence.Spend time with confident people.预测主题之第三位:心理
As is apparently betrayed in the bar chart above, at present university students suffer from psychological problems of various kinds, among which spiritual depression, miscellaneous problems, and suicide-committing top the list.What the chart reveals is indeed thought-provoking.The implied meaning of the chart above can be briefly stated as follows.On the one hand, university students are encountering more psychological problems than ever before.The fact can be attributed to many factors.Most university students are overloaded with study and haunted by employment pressure.As young and inexperienced people, they are also facing emotional dilemma and trial of human interrelationship.Besides, some students are in a financial predicament.On the other hand, necessary psychological work for university student is a must for the time being.It is quite shocking that at least forty percent of university students suffer from spiritual depression.The very fact should not be neglected.Effective countermeasures must be taken to reverse the current grim situation.In sum, the psychological problems should be put on our agenda.In my view, great efforts must be made so as to ensure the healthy growth of university students.To begin with, we must have a good understanding the necessity of psychological instruction and guidance among university students.What’s more, government departments at different levels and related organizations should make joint efforts to

Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places?
In recent years, smoking as been banned in many public places such as shops, restaurants, and even bus stops.This regulation has triggered much dispute.On the one hand, many welcome the ban since lots of illnesses and deaths are smoking –related, and this is a very sensible step to improve people’s heath and living condition.On the other hand,however, smokers consider it is unfair to ban smoking.It is their right to smoke, and they are not committing any crime, so the government should not ban them.In my view, to ban smoking is a long term process, during which education rather than enforcement is more likely to be the key to the success.Banning smoking in the public areas is a policy that should be implemented step by step.On Internet Celebrities
In recent years, a variety of internet celebrities have emerged with different stories.Some folks consider it a cultural progress in this network era while some hold the opposite opinion.I prefer that this phenomenon is a progress.First, the emergence of those celebrities represents the free1
expression of new ideas, either creative or queer.New idea is a very important aspect in the development of this fast-moving word.Second, the society’s acceptance to the celebrities indicates that we are more open-minded and willing to take in the new stuff than before.With more new ideas and open-minded sense, we are able to create an all-round diversified society.All in all, the emergence of internet celebrities, to some extent, is our progress in developing a more diversified society.Should Electricity in the Dormitory Be Cut Off after Midnight ?
The electricity in the dormitory of some colleges is cut off after midnight to ensure students to go to bed early.Some people agree with this conduct for it is beneficial to student’s daytime study;while some argue that this regulation imposes restrictions on students’ private life.For me, I agree with the latter opinion.First, a college student is already an adult, he can control his work and rest schedule.Second, now people’s life depends on electricity very much.It is inconvenient when a student needs to use an appliance but the electricity is unavailable.Third, sometimes a student may study late.Without electricity, he can not finish his assignment on time and this is not good for his study.Hence, colleges should abandon this unnecessary operation and offer 24-hour electricity supply to students.The Advantages and Disadvantages of Keeping Pets
Nowadays many people like raising pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, etc.Actually, it is good to keep pets because pets can play with the young and accompany the old.Research also shows that living with a pet helps to soothe people’s pressure and distress and even decreases the possibility of getting heart diseases.However, many are against living together with animals.They argue that pets are easily infected by diseases, which may pass on to humans.What’s more, the unpleasant smell and waste caused by pets are a resource of environmental pollution.In my opinion, keeping pets brings joy to our life.But to avoid potential risks and troubles, we have to make sure that our pets are properly vaccinated and their behaviors are under control.Factors of Success
Achieving success is an ideal for almost everyone.However, it does not mean everyone can make it, since it takes effort, time amongst
other factors.First of all, painstaking effort is indispensable for anybody who wants to be successful.“No pains, no gains “ is the universal truth acknowledged by all successful men.Secondly, success always comes along with time.As the saying goes, “ Rome was not built in a day “;likewise, any wish of becoming successful overnight is nothing more than a fantasy.Besides, there are other important factors leading to success, such as confidence, intelligence, patience, perseverance, to name just a few.As a young man, I will still striving on my way to success.Already aware of the challenges and barriers ahead, I have equipped myself with the most courage and determination..
