Should Universities lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?
In recent years, many famous universities lower admission requirements for celebrities. More and more celebrities, especially sports stars, have been admitted to famous universities even without an entry examination. This phenomenon has become a subject of widespread controversy.
Some people object strongly that universities lower admission requirements for celebrities. They hold that this admission pattern will damage the basic fairness rule of education. In addition, they say that if a person who has not enough academic ability is admitted to the university, it would be an insult on college education. However, still other people think it acceptable. They say that these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their field. Besides, in their opinions, these celebrities to some extent set a good model for other young people.
Weighing these two arguments, I prefer the latter one. For one thing, these celebrities have sacrificed much learning time for their work, so they should be provided a better chance for learning. For another, if they accept advanced education, they could serve the society better. Therefore, I suggest that people should pay more attention to these celebrities’ efforts and
contributions rather than the special treatment they enjoy.

Self-help Traveling of College Students
So called self-help traveling refers that travelers themselves arrange travel route, travel time, and all the other matters during travel, without any guide and team leader. Nowadays this kind of traveling model is gaining more and more popularity among college students. According to the survey, over 80% of college students prefer self-help traveling to following a tour group.
Why are college students so fond of self-help traveling? Above all, self-help traveling gives travelers more freedom and space. College students don’t like being restricted. They want to arrange their travel as they wish. Moreover, self-help traveling provides college students a good chance to improve their adaptability and viability. Besides, the expenses in self-help traveling are controlled by travelers themselves. It is a good choice for those college students who have not much money for their disposal.
As a college student, I enjoy self-help traveling very much, and I have benefited a lot from it. For one thing, I have appreciated many amazing scenery that those travelers who follow tour groups can not. For another, self-help travel helps me learn how to deal with people better.

Secondhand Goods
In recent years, second-hand transactions have become quite common. Nowadays there are more and more secondhand goods in the market, such as secondhand books, furniture, appliances, cars, and so on. Why do so many people like to buy secondhand goods?
The following reasons can account for this phenomenon. Above all, secondhand goods are cheaper than new ones. This enables those people who have poor financial abilities to buy the things they want. Moreover, secondhand goods transactions make it possible for people to make good use of the goods which may be useless in their hands. Besides, Internet provides a more convenient and quicker transaction platform for secondhand goods.
However, there are also some problems in secondhand goods transactions. For one thing, the quality of secondhand goods can not be promised and you can not enjoy the good after-sale service. For another, secondhand goods market lacks enough supervision and management, and there exist many dishonest business activities. In a word, I think secondhand goods transaction is a good trading way, but it needs further perfection of the rules.

A Letter to a Publishing House on Food Safety
June 15th, 2006
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for taking time to read this letter. As the problem of food safety has been becoming worse and worse nowadays, I am obliged to write to you.
Several days ago, one of my classmates came back from supermarket with a large bag of food. Because of having found a new style of tinned?ish in the food store, she was very glad.
Several other roommates were invited to enjoy the “mouth?atering chicken”. Unfortunately, after finishing the food, all of my three friends had stomachaches and vomited, their faces having become paler and paler. Due to sensitivity to that kind of tinned food, I escaped that suffer. At that time, my mind went blank. I dialed the emergency number with my trembling hand, therefore they were quickly sent to hospital. The doctor said they were lucky to be out of danger because they did not eat too much of that rotten fish and were hospitalized on time.
This is the matter that happened around me which made me realize the seriousness of the food safety problem. I sincerely hope that the whole society could attach much importance to this issue.
Thanks!
Yours,
Julie

More job opportunities are needed to create for them.

1. Water shortage is becoming an urgent problem

参考范文：
On Water Shortage
No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually， it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.
A number of factors could account for the problem， but the following might be the critical ones. First， with the development of agriculture and industry， an increasing amount of water is needed. Secondly， the ever-increasing population is another leading cause of water shortage. Besides， the global tendency of warming up also contributes to the problem. What’s worse， pollution and waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.
In view of the seriousness of the problem， effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First， it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to protect water resources. Secondly， people should enhance their awareness of saving water. With these measures taken， it is reasonable for us to expect a brighter future.

People‘s Use of the Internet
1. 上图所示为20xx年7月、20xx年7月、20xx年1月我国上网用户总人数，请描述其变化;
2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因;
3.你认为目前用户在因特网使用中有什么困难或问题。
【范文】
From the chart we can see clearly that the number of Internet surfers in our country has increased from 26.5 million in July 2001 to 45.8 million in July 2002， and then to 59.1 million in January 2003.
In my mind， the reasons why the Internet surfers are on the rise are as follows. First， the Internet can help us accomplish many tasks， including both work and play—searching for information has become more convenient than ever， and safe online business is no longer a dream. Besides， surfing the Internet is becoming cheaper and cheaper—more and more people can afford it.
The negative effects of the Internet are also clear. To begin with， sitting too long before the computers is harmful to our body， especially our eyes. Second， more and more people become indulged in playing video games or chatting online， which are time-consuming.
All in all， I should say the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The key lies in whether we can make good use of it to enhance both work and study.
【点评】
首段叙述从20xx年至20xx年我国上网用户总人数的变化趋势。第二段分两方面给出其中的原因：首先是因特网方便快捷、作用巨大;其次是费用降低。第三段分两个方面指出面临的困难和问题：首先是上网时间过长有害健康;其次是有些人上网玩游戏、聊天，这都是不好的习惯。第四段做总结：第一句指出利大于弊;第二句说关键在于好好利用因特网。
第二段首句中的in my mind意思是“依我看，在我看来”;第三段中的be harmful to意为“对??有伤害”，become indulged in意思是“沉迷于”，time-consuming是“浪费时间”的意思;最后一段首句中的outweigh意为“比??重要”。

主题：农民工
Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Big Cities？
1. 近年来越来越多的民工涌入大城市
2. 产生这一社会现象的原因
For a number of years， there has been a steady rise in the number of rural laborers who flood into big cities. Many men work on construction sites， while many women work as dishwashers in restaurants or babysitters for city dwellers. Three reasons， in my mind， can account for this social phenomenon.
First and foremost， the limited land can no longer produce enough crops for an ever-increasing rural population. In the second place， there are far more opportunities in big cities—rural laborers dream of earning money through hard work. Last but by no means least， many of them want to live permanently in big cities， because they admire the way of living there， and wish their children to receive good education.
I firmly believe that if we try our best to create a healthy social atmosphere， rural laborers will make greater contribution to our nation.
【点评】
本题谈论的是一种社会现象。第一段首句引入某一现象，第二句举例说明，第三句是个过渡句，引起下面解释原因段落的第二段;第三段是简洁的结束语，其中的宾语从句嵌套一个状语从句。
范文首先指出大量农民工涌入大城市这一现象，并引出第二段所阐述的三个原因。首先，农村有限的土地不能满足日益增长的人口消费。其次，大城市有更多的工作机会。最后，农民工向往大城市的生活，想永远居住在大城市。末段总结指出，如果创造一个健康的社会环境，农民工就可以为国家做出更大的贡献。
第一段第二句中的construction site表示“建筑工地”，babysitter表示“帮人看孩子的人”。
第二段第一点中的rural指“农村的”;第三点中的permanently和admire分别指“永久地”和“羡慕”，receive education指“接受教育”。

For another， we are supposed to cultivate the public awareness of energy conservation for energy in the world today is decreasing rapidly. For instance， we can turn off electrical appliances if not necessary as well as using renewable materials.

In brief， low-carbon lifestyle is nothing but the best choice for us and only in this way can we form a harmonious relationship with the environment.

On Credit Card
At present， a wide vareity of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities across the nation， with a multitude of college students making up a growing population of card holders. Indeed， one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card， and the figure is expected to be on the steady increse， the latest data published by Yangtze Evening Post suggests。
Like anything prior to the emergence of this small piece of plastic， the increasing popularity of credit card on campus has both bright and dark sides. On the one hand， young adults in college， free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum of cash， could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments. On the other hand， however， the irresponsible and excessive use of the cards by these youngsters， the majority of whom are fresh out of middle school incapable of budgeting their money， can make them heavily in debt which will take them years to pay off。
On my personal level， while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring， we couldn‘t afford to ignore a conspicious fact： in most cases， parents are our sole financial sources.Instead of spending without any restrict， we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and move ourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents。

There are some individuals who argue that， compared to the environment protection， the top priority is supposed to given to economic development. They deem that environmental problems are inevitable and unavoidable in the process of economic development. They are only the by products of economic development， which can be handled later when we have the time and money.
However， other individuals hold different opinions that（或者：other holders of the opposite opinions argue that ） environment protection should be attached more importance than economic development in that present serious environmental problems will threaten the health
of the residents and hinder the advance of the economy.
As far as I am concerned， environmental protection and economic development can coexist in parallel and can stay in harmony. Our ultimate aim in economic development is to provide a comfortable and happy life for our people. What is the point of economic development if we achieve it at the cost of our environment？ There has been much evidence to prove that a balance between the two helps more rapid and continuous development of the society.

主题：电影和电视对公众的影响力
【题目】
How do movies or television influence people’s behavior？ Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
【范文】 The Influence of Television and Movies
There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover， it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment， whether it is television， a video tape or a DVD. Therefore， the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and， nowadays， even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one， depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally， perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children， who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.
With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment， society must pay attention to these
effects. Television and movies， while entertaining and informative， cannot take the place of real experience.

1．部分大学生有不健康的生活习惯，例如：晚睡、过度消费、沉溺游戏。。。。
2．这种不健康生活习惯的危害
3．如何纠正
写作思路依然是上课反复强调的功能段落的写作思路：首段为负面现象描述（即提出问题），二段为问题分析（危害），尾段为建议措施。
It can be noticed that there are some unhealthy living habits among young people, especially college students. Typical examples include staying up late, being addicted to games, consuming in an inappropriate way. Thus, due attention should be paid to students’ daily habits.
Apparently, these bad habits may generate negative impacts. To begin with, they may impair students’ physical health and psychological fitness. In addition, what worries many teachers is that they may also exert negative influences on students’ academic performance. To conclude, never can we turn a blind eye to these phenomena.
In view of the seriousness of this issue, it is time that we took effective measure. Firstly, it is suggested that universities or colleges should cultivate students’ awareness of healthy living. Secondly, students themselves are well-advised to learn to regulate and control their own life appropriately. Only by doing so, can we hope to see the ideal scenes in which students enjoy their colorful and healthy life in Ivory Tower. （162 words）

Certificate Craze On Campus
In recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing; quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.
From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

【范文】
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 we11 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-ca11ed tips for test
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 the pupils’potentials. Only in this way can we generation be healthily brought up.
