Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others Helping（用动词ing 做主语） others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble. The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration(道德退化). In my opinion, while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.

There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps（陷阱） by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious(具有风险意识的) and are more wary （考虑周到的）of traps and deceits. some people even wonder, ‘Is our society hostile to good people?’（反问极其有力） The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so. They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compassionate. In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious. Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company. So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary（典范的；惩戒性的；可仿效的) deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.第二段开始阐述人们的心理状态以及人们为何不愿意做好事，以及外界媒体对于个别案例的夸张描述，导致人们不愿意做好事，最后表达出自己的强烈愿望)

At the same time, as John Donne puts it（引用名人名言）, “No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.”（没有谁是一座孤岛 在大海里独踞 每个人都像一块小小的泥土 连接成整个陆地 ） Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual’s conducts that form social morality. （举例子，更有说服力）Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other’s position and be sympathetic. If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen. Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness. Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a

helping hand. It will make you happy and feel better about life.（第三段通过举例子阐明帮助别人的好处以及为何要帮助别人。）

In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, it is each individual’s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.（最后一段总结强调创建良好的社会坏境的必要性，并且适当的展望未来。）

20xx年 Some people simply see education as going to schools or colleges, or as a means to secure good jobs; most people view education as a lifelong process. In your opinion, how important is education to modern man?

Education As a Lifelong Process

When education is mentioned, we can easily think of school, colleges and young people. In fact, education is so important in modem society that it can be viewed as a lifelong process. ①

First, it's the requirement of fast-developing society, to accept education despite of your age. Our world is changing dramatically with the development of new science and technology. A person who completed his education at school in 70s or 80s may have encountered new problems when he is working now. The problems might have some thing to do with his major or other aspects. For example an accountant now must master the skills of accounting through computers, which is the basic tools for him, so he should also learn how to apply his job in a computer. No matter how old is he.

Secondly, education creates human character and moralities. Through education, youth may learn how to make contributions to the world. And the old may learn new things to enrich their lives. Through education, a healthy person can become stronger and a disabled person can have a new hope on his life. Man can find great pleasure by accepting education.

Thirdly, our modem society has provided everyone the chance to accept education. As long as you wish you could get education by attending night-schools, adult colleges, training centers and even long-distance education through Internet and TV.

Knowledge is limitless. And life is limited. So education is a lifelong process. (241 words)

20xx年 The Impact of the Internet on Education

The internet is making the world smaller and is changing every aspect of our life. There can be no doubt that the Internet will have greater impact on our society and economy. The impact, in my opinion, will be strongly felt in the aspect of education.

First, the Internet provides equal opportunities for all students, as long as they can get access to the Internet. In the traditional form of education, students who get higher marks in examination may enter a better school, and those who do not have to enter a relatively less good 1

one. With the Internet, every student is provided with the same sources of education, so they can get equal opportunities to improve themselves. In that case, the general quality of education will be highly improved in our country.

Second, the Internet poses a challenge, not a danger really to teacher. Traditionally, teachers are the dominator of education, and students are fixed to the instruction of several specific teachers. This, in fact, may result in the laziness of teachers, since there is no competition. With the Internet, a student may choose any teacher's instruction as far as he likes it, which is an incentive to the faculty of teachers. Faced with this, a teacher is likely to try his best to improve his instruction and this will in turn improve the educational quality of our country.

Last but not least, the Internet makes education more convenient for the students. A student can learn at any time he likes and, at the same time, save the money spent on tuition and board. All of these may head to a revolution of education.

After all, I am not exaggerating the influence of the Internet on education. It is true that the Internet may still remain out of the reach of some one and may be less amicable than human teachers. But the point is that, the Internet is sure to accelerate the development of education.

With the Internet, let us make the education of our country into a better existence!（342）

(2002) The Most Important Personal Quality of a University Student

Everyone has one or more dreams. But it is much easier to set an aim than to realize it. In the course of obtaining success, we need a number of helps, either external or internal, and the personal qualities are of superior importance. Among the qualities, such as smartness, honesty, confidence, the most important one, in my opinion, is diligence. ①

We are sure to encounter a number of difficulties on the way to success. On one hand, we must hold on. On the other hand, we should make efforts to find the best solutions as soon as possible. We have to force ourselves to know more, do more, sweat more. Only working industriously can assure us of a good result. ②

Being industrious means more work and less relaxation. So diligent people will complete their tasks in a shorter time than others. They will get more information and experience in their work. In the long run they will do their job better and better. Diligence also means broad knowledge and good public relationship. No one will look down upon an industrious person, and no employer will promote an idle one. ③

In addition, industry is a merit of our Chinese people. It is also a stimulus to Japan's recovery from the disaster of World War II. It is needed to realize our aims and to make our country more prosperous. ④ (219 words)

So when friends and classmates meet with each other “Have you been on the line?” will be the most popular greeting. It has replaced the traditional greeting “Have you had you lunch?”life in various fields as everydayness.

Things such as seeking useful information which used to take hours, days or even longer time can be done in the blink of an eye. appreciate the convenience of it. Internet with those who are at the other end of the globe, send e-mails to whoever they like to, and, think of it, increase their trade volume within their own doors!

It’s probable As the old saying goes, “There is no fire without some smoke.” Internet has its own advantages and disadvantages( merits and demerits).We must not witness the fruit of great invention of science turn into a killer of social civilization and healthy development of our young generation. In my opinion, internet itself is not to blame. We should make scientific use of the of the net while keeping away from its making it a helpful aid to human beings. (457 words)

Companionship Of Books

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back 3

upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity to each other by the love they have each for a book—just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both have for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

“Books,” said Hazlitt, “wind into the heart; the poet’s verse slides in the current of our blood. We read them when young, we remember them when old. We feel that it has happened to ourselves. They are to be had very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books.”

A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. “They are never alone,” said Sir Philip Sidney, “that are accompanied by noble thoughts.” The good and true thoughts may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul. It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive.Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good. Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old. The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.

Is A Little Learning Dangerous?

There is a famous saying: “Know everything on something and know something on everything.”, which exhorts us to make a profound study in a particular field and at the same time get a broad scope of knowledge in every aspect of human civilization. But does the latter part of the maxim give us an excuse of making a little learning on whatever subject? Some people might claim that knowing a little about everything can be symbolic of one’s immense erudition. However, my answer is an absolute negation, because a little learning is dangerous and should never be advocated.

As we know the points of knowledge and theories in a particular subject are usually not isolated from each other. Instead, they are closely related and comprise a complete(integrated) theoretical system of the discipline. And the deeper one gets into it, the more thorough one can understand (comprehend) the knowledge he’s already learned (grasped),for the later knowledge(information) can supplement and perfect the former theories and hence fortifying one’s comprehension. So a mere knowledge of one or two aspect of the system of a subject can be too narrow and superficial (shallow), and thus will result in a one-sided perspective of this field. Sometimes, the use (application) of a little knowledge of something can be completely misleading when the precondition or the cause and effect of it is ignored. As a result, many bad (undesirable) consequences or even tragedies would appear(arise) in people’s daily life due to their half knowledge. Take people’s diet as an example. Most of them know that spinach is a kind of vegetable good for health(healthful vegetable);they also know that bean curd is a wholesome food high (rich) in protein. But people are seldom aware of the fact that these two kinds of food, when meeting (mixed) with each other, will develop a chemical reaction and 8

thus producing something bad for digesting. Some people ignorantly eat them together only to do (bring about) negative effect on the health. Therefore, a mere knowledge of the nutritional value of a type of food is not enough; one has to know further—from its inner structure to its basic ingredients. Meanwhile, some relevant chemistry knowledge is also necessary. So to prevent mishaps from happening and for the sake of one’s own welfare, one should not be satisfied at a superficial knowledge.

Ina broader sense, a little knowledge will even restrain the development of people and the whole (entire) society. In the academic field, if a learner ceases at the initial stage of a study, he could never make any scholarly attainment. And only those who get the most profound knowledge of a subject can receive (reach) the crown of scholarship. Likewise, in the research field (world), the attitude and determination to reach the bottom of a matter is a must quality of any scientist. They are supposed to plunge into an intensive and in-depth study and research. Only in this way can new scientific breakthrough be made and new products be created which can be a stimulus to the society’s development. On the contrary, a loose and easily complacent mind among scholars would put the academic field in a stalemate; a knowledge on the surface and refusal to do deep research would deprive the momentum of society’s development, leaving it at a standstill.

Thereupon, a little knowledge is dangerous, both for individuals and for the society as a whole (at large).So never stop the pursuit of knowledge and try to be a well-informed citizen as well as a meticulous learner.
