You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 通信技术给现代生活带来诸多好处； 　　2. 通信技术也给现代生活带来许多不利之处； 　　3. 你的看法。 What does Telecommunication Brings to Modern Life? 　　【范 文】 　　Life will be unimaginable without telecommunications in modem society. Telephones, faxes and e-mails have been used in every aspect of modem life and they are changing our lifestyles dramatically. 　　There’s no exaggeration that telecommunication brings huge profits and great convenience to our everyday life. For example, telephone enables people to talk to one another in different places. Mobile phone allows people to make a phone call at any time and place. In addition, e-mail delivers mails faster and cheaper than ordinary letters. Moreover, the fast development of telecommunications makes business corporations deal with business affairs far more efficiently through phones, faxes, and computers. 　　However, telecommunication also has its disadvantages. For example, two friends haven’t seen each other face to face for a long time because of their frequent contact through the computer. And finally it will lead to the loss of human kindness. In addition, computer hacking may attack other countries or areas and endanger their national security. 　　All in all, telecommunication/s beneficial to our life. By shortening distance, telecommunication improves efficiency in our commercial activities, saves time and money in promoting interpersonal relations and in acquiring knowledge and accumulating information. Telecommunication has changed and will continually change our lifestyle. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题。题目为“通信技术给现代生活带来了什么?”。根据提纲要求，首先应介绍通信技术给现代生活带来的好处，如范文前两段那样，考生可以在提出观点后通过举例介绍通信技术的好处：第一，移动电话使人可以随时随地打电话；第二，电子邮件使得邮件接收更为便捷；第三，通信技术使商业往来更加高效。接着，按照提纲要求，需要介绍通信技术给现代生活带来的不利之处，如范文第三段所述，计算机的发展使得人与人之间面对面交流的机会更少，这可能导致人情味的丧失；同时，电脑黑客也可能给国家和地区安全造成威胁。最后，考生可以从自己的感受出发，概括通信技术对人们生活方式的影响，并自己的观点。 　　 　　Exercise 2 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Private Tutoring. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　不同时期学生拥有家教的比例 　　1. 简要描述图变化； 　　2. 具体阐述发生变化的原因以及请家教的利弊； 　　3. 你对此有何看法? Private Tutoring 　　【范 文】 　　The chart above shows the percentage that students have private tutors in different periods. According to it, only 5% of students have private tutors before 1980, and the number has reached up to 80% by the year of 2008. 　　Why does private tutoring become so popular? In my opinion, owing to various reasons, a lot of parents missed the chance of obtaining a good education when they were young. Consequently, whenever their children encountered difficulties in study, these parents feel helpless and private tutoring has become their only solution to the problem. 　　Frankly speaking, private tutoring does have a lot of advantages. It helps students who fall behind others to catch up within a short time. A tutor can meet the special learning need of students’ while the school teacher may have no time doing that. However, its disadvantages are also easy to see. To begin with, it takes up so much of the students’ spare time that they don’t have enough time to rest and play. But rest and play are necessary for students to keep physical and mental health. What’s more, some tutors offer the so-called skills of test-taking to help students do well in the test rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful. 　　From the above-mentioned we can see that private tutoring is not necessarily a bad thing. If students have difficulties in study, and if necessary, they can seek help from private tutoring. However, at the same time, we still need to pay more attention to classroom teaching and practice so as to improve the teaching quality. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于图表加提纲式命题。根据提纲要求，考生首先应简要描述不同时期学生拥有家教比例的变化情况，如范文第一段所述，图表所示为从20世纪80年代以前到2008年学生拥有家教的比例，其所占比例呈不断上升的趋势。然后，考生可以按照提纲要求从两个方面具体阐述发生这种变化的原因以及请家教的利弊，如范文第二段介绍了变化原因：由于许多父母在年轻时错过了接受良好教育的机会，所以孩子在学习中遇到问题时，他们唯一的解决方法就是请家教。第三段分析请家教的利弊：请家教可以在短期内提高成绩并满足学生的特殊学习要求，但家教也会占用时间，有些教授内容失之偏颇。最后提出自己的看法，可以赞成也可以反对或者是给出自己的建议。 　　 　　Exercise 3 　　Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Problem of Plastic Bags. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below： 　　1. 塑料袋的使用给人们提供了许多方便； 　　2. 塑料袋的使用造成了环境污染； 　　3. 如今人们对此的应对措施以及你的看法。 　　The Problem of Plastic Bags 　　【范 文】 　　In the past, plastic bags were widely used in our everyday life. They were provided in supermarkets, ordinary shops and street markets. We put everything we bought in plastic bags and didn’t need to carry cloth bags or baskets with us. Obviously, plastic bags bring us a lot of convenience. What’s more, they are usually free of charge. 　　However, with so many conveniences, plastic bags also bring some side effects. Some people throw plastic bags everywhere and this leads to white pollution to our environment. White pollution is very harmful because plastic bags cannot be decomposed completely, which is certainly not good for human beings’ future. 　　Nowadays, people have a better understanding of the problem and begin to use cloth bags or baskets like years before. In addition, in order to limit the use, plastic bags are no longer free of charge. In my opinion, taking the future of the world into consideration, we do have to reduce the use of plastic bags. And it is a better idea that people use traditional cloth bags to hold things instead of using plastic ones. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题，题目为“塑料袋问题”。根据提纲，考生首先要指出使用塑料袋给人们带来很多方便，这方面的论述对考生来说并不陌生，因为以前塑料袋用得很普遍，它的便利性大家都有切身体会。第二段可以从人们在日常生活中使用塑料袋的便利以及超市、商场等免费提供塑料袋两方面论述其便利性。但是塑料袋也引起了不少问题，比如一些人随处乱扔塑料袋，导致了白色污染，而这些塑料袋短期内又不能被完全分解。最后，在提到应对措施时，考生可以自由发挥，表明观点即可。 　　 　　Exercise 4 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Campus Love. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 校园爱情不再是稀奇的事； 　　2. 校园爱情对学生学习的影响； 　　3. 作为大学生，谈谈你的看法。 　　Campus Love 　　【范 文】 　　Love in campus is no longer rare to see. Students are more and more accustomed to this phenomenon. Therefore, the question whether falling in love on campus would influence students’ study is in heated dispute. 　　Some college teachers advocate that students ought to abandon love and pay more attention to study. They believe that campus love not only wastes time but also influences students’ study. Those people reason that the loads on college study leave less room for college students to allocate time to fall in love. However, some students hold that students who fall in love will study harder and make greater progress. They don’t think that students in love would fall behind in studies. Moreover, they argue that in college, study should not become the sole pillar in students’ development. Instead, the overall development should include aspects of emotion, intelligence and character. 　　In my opinion, however, campus love has more advantages than disadvantages. It could undoubtedly make students happy. When students face difficulties or feel disappointed or depressed, they can get comfort from it. It is not a bad thing to fall in love on campus, but the point is that one should learn how to balance the newfound relationship and studies. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题，题目为“校园爱情”。根据提纲要求，首先要对校园中学生恋爱的现状进行评述，即：校园爱情已不是什么稀奇事了，但是争论的焦点在于校园爱情是否影响学习，由此引起下文。接着考生需要阐述人们对于“校园爱情是否影响学习”这一话题的不同观点，如范文第二段所述，这两类观点的代表人物分别是老师和学生，老师认为校园爱情既浪费时间又影响学习，而学生却认为恋爱中的学生学习更努力，进步更大，大学生应该在情感、智力和性格上全面发展。最后，考生要从大学生的角度出发表达自己的看法，可以像范文中一样，在支持校园恋爱的同时指出学生需要处理好学习和恋爱之间的关系。 　　 　　Exercise 5 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Influence of Clothes. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 人们的着装会影响其言行； 　　2. 阐述着装是如何影响人的言行的； 　　3. 你的观点。 The Influence of Clothes 　　【范 文】 　　People wear different kinds of clothes on different occasions. They may wear school uniforms to school, suits to company or party, and sportswears on weekends. Actually, what people wear would affect their behaviors more or less. And the following reasons can account for this. 　　First of all, formal clothing implies that our behaviors must be polite and formal. When we wear a business suit, we may think about our actions more seriously. We not only need more respect from others, but also show respect for others. Secondly, when we attend a formal social activity, our special clothing will make the event more special. And we are sure to behave more politely. At last, what we wear allows us to behave in a completely different manner. We may show our personality or enjoy ourselves while we are "someone else". 　　As a result, I think it is reasonable that what we wear influences our behavior. This may due to the way we feel towards the clothing itself, or because of the way that our clothing leads others to treat us. Undoubtedly, whatever the reason is, we feel much cozier when properly dressed for the occasion. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题，题目为“着装的影响”。提纲要求首先提出“人们的着装会影响其言行”这一论点，如范文第一段所述，人们在不同的场合会穿不一样的衣服，着装会影响人们的言行。接着具体阐述着装是如何影响人们的言行的，如范文第二段从三个方面阐述了着装对人们行为的影响：首先指出正装意味着我们的行为必须礼貌而且正式，其次提到参加正式活动时穿上特别的衣服有利于整个活动，最后提到穿的衣服不同，人们的行为方式也会完全不同。文章最后对自己的观点进行归纳总结。 　　 　　Exercise 6 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Living Alone or Living with Roommates. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 大学生应该一个人住还是应该住在宿舍? 　　2. 一个住和住在宿舍各有什么好处? 　　3. 你的观点。 Living Alone or Living with Roommates 　　【范 文】 　　Nowadays, there is a hot debate among college students—whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with roommates in the dormitory. Students hold different opinions towards this question. 　　Those who approve of living alone insist that it is very convenient and comfortable to live by themselves. They can be absolutely flee in their own rooms. They can set up their own timetable without getting permission from others. They can also furnish the room with a personal computer so as to have easy access to the Internet. 　　However, others bold the opposite opinion. They think that living together with roommates is a better option. By living together, their experience can be greatly enriched. Also, they can learn a lot from talking to one another. In the process of learning to tolerate the differences among individuals, they can become more mature. 　　From my point of view, I prefer to live with roommates because I don’t like the feeling of loneliness. In addition, it is more economical to live in a dormitory than to live alone. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题，题目为“自己住还是和室友同住”。根据提纲要求，首先应提出话题，如范文第一段所述，如今对于题目所述话题存在着激烈的争论，学生的观点不一。接着分别介绍一个人住和与室友同住的好处，如范文第二、三两段所述，前者认为一个人住方便、舒适而且自由，后者则认为在集体生活中，室友可以互相学习、互相交流并学会容忍差异，从而使自己变得更成熟。最后表明自己支持哪一种观点，并陈述理由。 　　 　　Exercise 7 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Why do College Students Have Difficulty in Finding Jobs? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 近几年来，大学生找工作越来越难，许多学生选择考研； 　　2. 大学生找工作难的原因； 　　3. 作为大学生，应该…… Why do College Students Have Difficulty in Finding Jobs? 　　【范 文】 　　These days, graduates are confronted with greater challenges in job hunting. In order to avoid such an embarrassment, a lot of students choose to continue their study and wait for another three years to work. The following three aspects account for the reason why it is difficult for students to find a job. 　　First, more universities are providing more than enough graduates with a certain specialty. Therefore, when competing for a single position with hundreds of graduates, most will fail. Second, the curriculum design of many colleges also makes the matter worse. The majors and subjects are not well adjusted to the needs of modem society. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that so many students fail to find a job in which they could put their knowledge into practice. At last, I believe that graduates themselves should be responsible for the low employment rate. Many a graduate would rather stay jobless in big cities than work in small or underdeveloped cities, although they know that market demands are not balanced between the two areas. 　　In summary, I suggest that the government take some measures to limit college enrollment and colleges improve their specialities offered. Meanwhile, graduates should apply for jobs reasonably. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题。根据提纲首先要引出话题。考生可以通过近年来毕业生就业难的现象来引出话题，如范文第一段描述了找工作越来越难的情况，并指出毕业生对此的应对办法——考研。接着分析大学生找工作难的原因，如范文第二段从三个方面进行了分析，原因之一是大学招生的增长远远超过了社会需求，原因之二在于许多大学的课程设置不合理，使得毕业生无法胜任社会工作，第三个原因则在于大学生本身，他们的择业取向也导致了就业难的问题。最后，考生可以从大学生自身角度出发提出建议，如建议政府减少招生，高校专业设置应进行规划，同时毕业生也应该更理性地择业。 　　 　　Exercise 8 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should People Own Cars? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 如今私家车的普及成为焦点话题； 　　2. 人们持积极和消极两种观点； 　　3. 结合两种观点谈谈你的看法。 Should People Own Cars? 　　【范 文】 　　At present, the number of people who own private cars has been constantly increasing. When it comes to this phenomenon, many different ideas have been put forward. 　　Some people stick to the positive view. They believe that the car is the result of modem science and technology; therefore, everyone is entitled to enjoy it. They argue that the development of private cars will stimulate the development of other industries as well as the whole national economy. 　　However, others hold the opposite idea. They point out that the increasing number of cars has caused a series of problems. First of all, they have caused more air pollution, which is severely threatening people’s health. Secondly, having too many cars on the streets easily leads to traffic jam and slows down the pace of life and work. 　　Of these two different opinions, I am apt to approve of the latter point of view. And I suggest the government put the development of private cars under control and spare no efforts to develop public transportation like buses and subways. By doing this we can improve efficiency and enjoy a cleaner environment. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题。考生可以开门见山，提出私家车不断增加这一现象。接着可以具体阐述私家车的利弊或者说人们对私家车所持的不同观点，如范文第二、三段所述，持积极观点的人认为，私家车的发展是现代科技的产物，人人都有资格享受它，同时，购买私家车也会刺激其他行业及国家经济的发展；而持相反观点的人却指出，越来越多的私家车不仅污染环境，威胁人类的健康，而且也容易引起交通堵塞。文章最后可以结合两种观点谈谈自己的看法，并提出建议。 　　 　　Exercise 9 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Teacher-student Relationship. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 好的师生关系有益于学生的发展和老师的教学； 　　2. 不良的师生关系不利于学生的发展和老师的教学； 　　3. 总结你对师生关系的看法。 The Teacher-student Relationship 　　【范 文】 　　The teacher-student relationship plays a key part in the results of teachers’ teaching and students’ study. A good teacher-student relationship can effectively inspire students to try their best to improve their study and help the teachers to optimize their teaching procedures, Teachers with patience and understanding encourage students instead of forcing them. This kind of relationship makes learning so enjoyable and interesting that students would work hard willingly. 　　On the contrary, a bad teacher-student relationship severely reduces the efficiency of teaching. And it discourages the students from learning, leaving them with a wrong and negative attitude towards study. In this sense, teaching process will not be smooth, and this will probably form a vicious cycle. 　　As far as I’m concerned, much more attention should be paid to the relationship between teacher and student. A good relationship makes teachers’ job worthwhile while a bad one affects students’ development, and the side effects may last to the rest of their lives. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题，题目为“师生关系”。对于这类题目，考生可以按照提纲的要求分三步来写。首先说明好的师生关系有利于学生的发展和老师的教学。接着从反面分析不良的师生关系，如范文第二段提到，不良的师生关系降低教师的教学效率，阻碍学生的学习，不利于培养学生正确、积极的学习态度。最后考生可以从自身的体会出发，总结自己对师生关系的看法。 　　 　　Exercise 10 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Is Keeping Pets Good for Mankind? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 养宠物对人类有好处； 　　2. 养宠物的坏处； 　　3. 你的看法。 Is Keeping Pets Good for Mankind? 　　【范 文】 　　Nowadays, keeping pets is becoming more and more popular. And it is thought to be beneficial to people in several ways. First, pets can accompany us and bring a lot of fun to us. Second, pets give us the feeling of being loved, and in turn, we learn how to love others from keeping pets. A cat or dog can comfort us when our friends are not around. And at the same time, learning to take care of pets helps us learn to be more considerate. 　　However, some people think differently. They regard pet-keeping as a waste of time and resources. In their eyes, those who are mad about their pets sometimes even neglect their daily duties. The consequence would be bad in the long run. Besides, it is a shame to see many animals eat good food while thousands of people die from famine. What’s worse, pets may cause serious hygiene problems that cannot be solved easily. 　　From my point of view, it is neither wise nor possible to forbid pet-keeping. Whether to keep pets or not, it’s up to people themselves. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题，题目为“养宠物对人有好处吗?”。根据提纲要求，首先要阐述养宠物对人类的好处，如范文第一段所述，现在养宠物非常流行，它对人们来说主要有三个方面的好处：第一，宠物可以陪伴人并给人带来许多乐趣；第二，养宠物可以给人爱和被爱的感觉；第三，养宠物也可以使人们更加细心。根据提纲，接下来应说明养宠物的坏处，如范文第二段所述，养宠物会浪费时间和资源；痴迷于宠物的人甚至忽视自己的本职工作；许多动物生活优越，而成千上万的人却在忍饥挨饿；此外宠物还会带来卫生问题。最后一段提出自己的看法。 　　 　　Exercise 11 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Online Education. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below: 　　1. 网络教育的现状； 　　2. 网络教育受欢迎的原因； 　　3. 你的观点。 Online Education 　　【范 文】 　　Being online was something strange before. But now things have changed because internet has become an important part of our daily life. Internet helps us a lot in many ways. For example, we can search for information and communicate with friends by means of internet. Meanwhile, a helpful activity, namely, online education is becoming more and more popular with parents and children. 　　Why is online education becoming so popular in such a short time? First of all, the quick development of the internet seems to contribute a lot to the prevalence of online education, which enables students to attend class at home. Secondly, the fast development of society and technology is another driving force. In order to keep up with this development, people have to update their knowledge. But due to the fast pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study at school. Then, the appearance of online education just meets their needs, which in turn contributes to the popularity of online education. 　　Personally, I love this new form of education. It has made up the deficiency of traditional education and provided learners with optional ways of learning. With online education, we can not only engage in our jobs better but also master the latest information. 　　【思路点拨】 　　本题属于提纲式命题。题目为“网络教育”。根据提纲要求，考生可以首先介绍网络教育的现状，如范文第一段提到，过去人们对网络感到陌生，而现在网络已经成为人们日常生活的一部分。接着分析如今网络教育受欢迎的原因，如范文第二段从两个方面介绍了网络教育受欢迎的原因：一是由于网络的快速发展使得学生在家上课成为可能，二是因为网络教育满足了那些忙于工作而不能去学校学习的人的需要。最后，考生可以表明自己对网络教育的态度，总结观点。 　　 　　Exercise 12 　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Dealing with Tension.

We have forgotten how to live happily, how to enjoy something charming in order to catch up with the rush of life. Our life has been falling into the abyss of tension. As the tension accumulates, our health is threatened. To tackle this problem, some measures should be taken to stop the situation from going worse. 　　In the first place, we should learn to control ou
