教育类Some people think that students should only study science subjects. Other subjects are not important to them. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Model Answer: Some people suggest that students only study science subjects. Although I agree that science subjects are important, I think that students should also study a variety of other subjects. On the one hand, science subjects should be core subjects on the school curriculum. In modern history, science and technology have been the most influential driving forces behind productivity and material prosperity, and are particularly important in an age of global economic competition. The knowledge gained through science subjects, such as physics, chemistry and biology, prepares children for future careers in science, technology, engineering or medicine. Without compulsory science courses, schools would fail to produce enough young people with scientific knowledge and technological skills for their countrys economic development. On the other hand, peoples well-being does not only depend on material success. Other subjects on the school curriculum also serve the common good and therefore should not be ignored. Music classes, for example, teach children to express their emotions better and appreciate others more. Also, art classes stimulate childrens imagination and encourage them to approach problems creatively, which helps to prepare a creative workforce for the future. Science subjects cannot even serve the common good well if other subjects on the school curriculum are not effectively or efficiently taught. For instance, it is hard to imagine that students can present the results of their scientific experiments clearly in their papers if they have not gained systematic knowledge of academic writing in their language classes. In conclusion, I would agree that a good curriculum should be balanced and consist of a wide range of areas, including natural science, social studies, arts and humanities. 例文2：Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on children. Do you agree or disagree? Model Answer: I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer every day. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for. The main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the “hero” of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centred and insensitive to others. Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing experiences is an important part of a childs development that cannot be provided by a computer. In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology and the Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore, it is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives. I think the main point is to make sure that young children do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual world.科技类例文 With the increasing use of mobile phones and computers, fewer people write letters. Some people think that the traditional skill of letter writing will disappear. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Model Answer: Mobile phones and the Internet are so widely used today that many people are concerned that letters may completely disappear from our lives. Although I think this concern is understandable, I do not think it will become a reality. The ease and immediacy of phone calls, text messages and e-mails make them attractive to people, especially to young and busy ones. An e-mail or a text message can reach someone thousands of kilometers away in a few seconds. The same e-mail or text message can even be sent to multiple users at the same time. By contrast, it takes a letter several days to reach the recipient. E-mails and multimedia messages also allow their users to share pictures and videos and makes communication more interactive and entertaining. Another advantage of e-mails and text messages is that they can be stored electronically on servers and mobile phones, while letters always need some physical storage space. In spite of this, I do not think that the tradition of letter-writing will disappear. Letters, especially handwritten ones, have a strong personal touch. Letter-writing takes much more time and energy than typing and sending an e-mail on a computer or calling someone on a mobile phone. This helps a letter to express emotions more deeply than an e-mail or a phone call. Letter-writing works particularly well when we need to express our sympathy, support or romantic feelings. For business or official purposes, letters can also provide the formality that is well-suited to formal correspondence. In conclusion, despite the advantages that e-mails and mobile phones have in speed, ease of use and storage, I believe that letter-writing will continue to be useful for a variety of personal and business purposes.媒体类The news media play an important role in modern society. Why are the news media so important? Is the influence of the news media positive or negative? Model Answer: The news media, such as newspapers, news magazines, news websites and TV news shows, are a very influential part of our lives. There are two main reasons why the news media are important and popular in the twenty-first century. The first one is that news reporting provides people with information about the events that just happened in their communities, cities, countries or even other countries. As we are living in a more competitive and globalised world, people who have access to the latest news can usually make better-informed decisions and therefore have competitive advantages. The second reason for the importance and popularity of the news media is that people are naturally curious about new things. Through media reports we can get new information about important events and celebrities, which not only satisfies our curiosity but also offers us interesting conversation topics. On the other hand, nowadays many news media companies are trying to increase their popularity and influence by adding entertainment value to their news reports. This often leads to false news stories and results in widespread distrust of the news media. Another problem is that many news media networks today have close connections with politicians. News presented by these networks is often biased and is used to manipulate the publics opinion to help the politicians gain political advantages. To conclusion, it is clear that the increasing influence and power of the news media is a result of the knowledge, convenience and business value that they can provide. However, I believe that dishonest journalists and news media networks who spread false news should be punished by the law.政府类The government should pay for peoples health care and education. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Model Answer: Health care and education are basic human rights and needs. Some people think that the government should pay for citizens health care and education. I partly agree with this view. There are three main reasons why the government should pay for citizens medical and educational costs. Firstly, a large proportion of government revenue comes from the taxes paid by citizens. The government should reward taxpayers with health care and education. Secondly, international competition in economic and technological fields is fierce today. The educational and health levels of citizens are important factors influencing the competitiveness of a countrys workforce. By providing citizens with education and health care, the government helps to promote economic and technological development and increase the competitiveness of the workforce in the global economy. Thirdly, there are people who cannot afford basic health care or education in almost every country. If the government did not pay for their basic healthcare or educational needs, they would feel that they are treated unfairly by the government, which would be a source of social unrest. However, the government only has limited financial resources. If it spends too much money on health care and education, other important fields such as scientific research, infrastructure development and the pension system may be under-funded and underdeveloped. It is the responsibility of the government to keep a reasonable balance between the educational and healthcare needs of citizens and other financial needs that are also essential to economic growth and social development. Overall, I believe that the government should provide free health care and education to citizens who cannot afford them. At the same time, it should encourage businesses to provide health insurance to their employees, and fund public schools with the property tax that local residents pay. These measures can help the government to keep its budget balanced and achieve more sustainable economic growth.发展类例文：It is suggested that everyone in the world wants to own a car, a TV and a fridge. Would the advantages of such a development to society outweigh the disadvantages? Model Answer: It is suggested that everyone in the world wants to own a private car, a TV and a refrigerator. I think whether the advantages of such a development would outweigh its disadvantages would depend on advances in technology. Popular consumer goods can generally make individuals lives more convenient and enjoyable. A car owner can have a more flexible schedule than people who rely on public transport. Television gives viewers access to a wide range of information and entertainment, while refrigerators can help people to preserve food longer than leaving it at room temperature. This is why universal ownership of these consumer products is often associated with a higher standard of living. On the other hand, the possible risks of everyone owning these consumer products should not be underestimated. With current technology, more energy is consumed when the number of consumer products does not rises, which also produces more pollution. Sometimes increasing ownership of consumer products does not even lead to greater convenience or higher efficiency. In large cities such as Beijing and Paris, the ever-rising number of cars has caused serious traffic congestion and a significant increase in the amount of time that urban commuters spend on the road. As a result, many of them take public transport instead and leave their cars in their garage. There is also the risk that universal TV and fridge ownership would result in an increase in sedentary lifestyle habits and people buying less fresh food. Therefore, I believe that unless future technological breakthroughs could make popular consumer goods far more environmentally-friendly and healthy choices than they are now, universal ownership of cars, TV sets and fridges would bring more problems than benefits.文化类例文：Some people believe there should be a single international language. Others believe that would make it difficult to maintain the identify of cultures. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Model Answer: In the past, several languages have acted as the lingua franca in different areas of the world, but the growth of modern communications and the development of air transport have created a demand for a single international language to cover the whole world. There are several reasons to believe that a single international language has become a practical necessity. Firstly, trade is becoming increasingly international, involving multiple partners who have mutually incomprehensible mother tongue. Secondly, there has been a huge proliferation of international organisations, such as UNICEF, the WHO and the European Union. Thirdly, scientific research, such as space and genetic research, is becoming more of an international cooperative effort. Although multiple translation is technically available and sometimes practised, it is often expensive and inconvenient. Fourthly, it is arguable that if we all make use of one language to communicate, prejudice and misunderstandings will be overcome and world peace will be promoted. Many people fear that the spread of a single international language threatens individual cultures. It is argued, for example, that the spread of one language will cause others to die out. However, there is evidence to the contrary. History suggests that the use of one or more official languages has in fact sharpened the sensitivity of speakers to other languages. More broadly, people fear that a single language will spread a single culture over the world, a movement sometimes called “language colonisation”. But we should keep in mind that the purpose of an international language is for use in international contexts, not everyday ones. Any international language is likely to remain superficial. Therefore, my conclusion is that the enormous benefits of a single international language vastly outweigh the potential risks it presents. 全球化类：例文：International organisations should provide developing countries with practical aid and advice rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Model Answer: I agree that practical aid and advice from international organisations are important to developing countries, but I also believe that money should be a significant part of international aid. Practical aid, such as technology transfer, medical teams, school supplies and technical training programmes, and advice can be of great help to developing countries. Such aid helps them to improve their own industry, agriculture, education and healthcare systems. These developments can boost their economy and reduce their reliance on foreign aid. The purpose of practical aid and advice from international organisations also tends to be more specific than the purpose of financial aid. For example, many international medical aid teams focus on the treatment of certain contagious diseases. By providing practical aid and advice, internationa
