Some people think that examinations have some bad effects on students. Some people say they do a good job in the evaluation of the students’ performance. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
范文
In the long history of human education, great changes have taken places in every field of study. However testing a person by examinations is still regardes as the only reliable and feasible method to measure one’s knowledge and ability. From elementary schools to universities, students have to take many examinations. They even regard examinations as an indispensable part of their life.
Some people hold that examinations have negative impacts on students. First of all, examinations are unable to evaluate one’s true ability. They ca only test memory or the skill of working rapidly under pressure. Secondly, examinations encourage bad study habits. Students tend to lay emphasis on what will be tested. They are encourages to meorize rather than to think. Finally, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Teachers have to train students in exam techniques instead of teaching their subjects.
Many other people, however, believe examinations have some advantages. In the first place, they serve as a driving force to stimulate students to work hard. Laziness is part of human nature. Without examinations, students tend to ignore their studies. Moreover, the results of examinations are just like mirrors for both students and teachers. Students can assess temselves examination. Finally, till now no better methods have been discovered to replace examinations. Other forms of assessment are too time-consuming and therefore are infeasible.
In my opinion, examinations have positive effects on teaching. They make students hard-working. They also provide a clear objective standard by which the students can assess themselves and teachers can know what they should do next. Furthermore, at present, no bettermethods are available. Therefore, I am sure examinations will continue to play an essential role in education.

Some people say that the government should pay for the health care and education of its citizens, but other people say that it is not the government’s responsibility. What is your opinion?
范文
There has long been a heated discussion about whether the government should shoulder the responsibilities for its people’s basisc expenses such as health care and education. Some people argue that yes, it is the governments’ unshakeable duty to do so. Others, by contrast, hold the opposite opinion. Personally, I choose to stand on the former side.
To commence with, let’s make clear what “the government” means. It is an institution representing its peple’s interest and benefits. A democratic government is, in Jefferson’s words, “ of the people, for the people and by the people”. A pparently, health care and education both fall into the ring of people’s fundamental interest, benefits and rights, thus for sure making a part of the unshakable duties of any government.
Furthermore, to guarantee these two benefits is actually crucial to every nation’s stability. This
Is because they are both long-lasting and are extremely costly. If one has to afford them independently, he or she will be forced to do a lot of savings, and will thus live in anxiety for a lengthy period until the say when bank saving is considered “secure”, which is very likely to be in one’s sisties. Therefore, if without these rudimentary benefits, our society will be running under tremendous pressure and insecurity. How can we expect it to develop smoothly and stably?
Admittedly, it is also comprehensible for some people to hold the opposite view. They suppose that too much expenditure on these two fields will slow down a country’s advancement and people will enjoy fewer benefits as a further consequence. True as it seems to be, these people still ignore one issue, that is, the exixtence of the government is to ensure that people live a better life. If some basic investment shrinks, it has undoubtedly to be considered negative regardless of whatever potential benefit it may bring about.
All in all, it is the government’s due and inescapable responsibility to bear people’s health care and education expenses, both currently and in the long term.

There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of the mobile phone?
We live in an information age, an age of communication and commections. Perhaps the best symbol of all this technology is the mobile phone. Almost everyone has one and most people would be lost in their daily routine without it. However, some habe suggested that it causes medical problems and should be limited. But this tiny little tool is just too important to get rid of.
The advantages of using mobile phones are immense. For business and commerse they allow companies to stay in touch with clients, employers with employees and so on. Now people can work outside the office and never be out of the information loop. In fact it would be hard to imagine working without one.
Furthermore, parents can have peace of mind with their kids by giving them a mobile phone. Now when they are at school or playing with a friend, they are only a phone call away. This is also true for anyone who has an emergency to report or is in danger. Mobiles can literally be a lifesaver.
The flip side though is that some people have reported medical issues like heart and brain problems. I am not an expert on these issues but my impression is that if they were proven to be dangerous, governments would not allow them to be sold, or would at least have tougher safety standards.
In a nutshell, mobile phones are just too essential to our daily lies. If in the future it is shown that they cause damage to one’s health, then I am confident that laws will be passed requiring them to be safe. But for now, the pros clearly outweigh the cons.

Traffic jam is a problem in most cities all round the world at present. What causes the problem? Make some recommendations.
Transporting has been developing rapidly in recent years, especially in large cities. However, it must be admitted that the rapid development of urban traffic has brought certain problems. One of the biggest problems, in my opinion, is the traffice jam. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines of buses and cars during the rush hours. It is not easy to find the reasons and solutions for this complicated phenomenon which involves several factors.
There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. No sooner has a new road been completed and opened to public trafic than it is crowded with all kinds of vehicles. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. In most cases, a car carries only one or two people, while it occupies almost half of the space a bus does. Third, many people, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy intersections, which undoutedly worsen s then already grave situation.
In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse, on one hand, the government should invest more money in the building of new roads and reparing and maintenance of old ones, particularly those in busy areas of the cities. On the other hand, the number of private cars in urban ares should be limited while the number of public buses should be increase. At the same time, it is essential that stricter traffic rules and regulations should be issued to strengthen traffic control.
To conclude, various elements are contributing to traffic jams in big cities and unless proper methods are taken, the situation will surely worsen in the future.

The university should accept equal number of male and female students on evey subject. Do you agree or disagree?
范文
Whether the university should accept the equal number of male and female students on every subject is a commonly discussed topic. Some people claim that it should be the policy; otherwise it will raise a discrimination based on gender. But from the point of my view, the ratio of men ans women students in college ought to be different depending on different areas.
First of all, let us talk about the so-called first natre, in general, boys love machines much more than girls do from their early childhood. Boys like playing with cars, games, while girls lobe Babe Dolls and decorating their bedrooms. It can certainly be expected tat more boys are interested in engeineering, and more girls intend to choose literature or education when they grow up.
Secondly, psychologically speaking, men are morelogical and women are moresensitie and careful. That is why you see dominant party of girls in nursing school. At the same time, dealing with mathematics is a piece of cake to boys but a big disaster to most of girls. To choose a subject depneds on the individual’s personality, so it will be unreasonable for the university to take equal numbers of males and females on every subject.
At last, in today’s society, there are still different social responsibilities to males and females. Even though in more and more fields, for example, biological research or computer scienc, you can see no big difference between the two genders but not the other one. We are all used to meeting a sweet nurse in white at hospital but may feel weird to see a big guy injecting flu shot to you.
From what has been discussed above, we can easily see the truth that males and females have physiological differences and are interested in different fields. So I can not see a convincing reason to urge the university to accept equal numbers on males and females.

Advertisements are getting their way into people’s lives. Should advertisements be restricted?
范文:
Everywhere, and almost at any time, we find ourselves surrounded by all kinds of advertisements. Some people suggest that there should be some restrictions on advertisements. But on the other hand, there are also many people who strongly advocate that advertisements should not be restricted. For my part, I absolutely agree with the latter point of view. The reasons are presented below.
The first reason that can be seen by every person is that advertisements provide us with much useful information. Advertisements keep us well-informed about products. As a result, we can compare them and choose the best and cheapest one. In addition, we can also find a job or rent a house with the help of advertisements.
Another factor that we must consider is that advertisements bring us a lot of entertainment. Just imagine what a bus station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy watching a blanck wall or reading traffic regulations while waiting for a bus? An interesting advertisement makes your waiting less dull and monotonous.
The third and very important reason is that advertisements also provide money for newspaper, magazines, radios and TV stations. Many kinds of media could not survive without advertisements. Because of advertising, we can enjoy so many TV programs with so little money. A newspaper would cost much more if we had to pay its full price.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that the government should not impose restrictions on advertisements. They provide much useful information for consumers. They make our life colorful with artistic pictures and words. What is more, they play an indispensable role in the survival and development of media.

International tourism has become one of the biggest industries in the world. Some people think it unfortunately causes a lot of tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
范文
International tourism has boomed to be the biggest industry in the world. What was once the “grand tour”, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody’s grasp. Some people think it would definitely improve understanding of people from different cultures. However, I believe it causes a lot of tension instead.
The aim of most international toursits is for sightseeing. Their stay is generally too short for them to give more than a cursory glance. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to have chance to communicate with local people. Even if they are lucky enough to be among the locals, languages is always a barrier. Thus, any deep understanding about local cultures or communication with local residents is out of the question.
Tension arises frequently when international tourists are found to show disrespect for local customs due to their unawareness of local traditions of history. Last year, I, followed by a couple of friends, traveled to a small county located in Bolivia. Surprisingly, we happened to see thousans of people singing and dancing on the street. Three guys dressed in local costume swayed badly towards us, bringing drinking beer for us. Owing to out arrival in a totally new place, we declined to take any alcoho in case of being trapped. Unexpectedly quarrels occurred and one of them spitted onus, whose behavior turned our journey to be a trip of humiliation ans resentment. As a matter of fact, the local residents were celebrating yearly Beer Festival. Our refusal was regarded as a bad manner to look down upon them.
Difference between people from different cultures has been formed for a long time. Can some international trips solve the problem?

Should criminals be sent to prison or should they do something else as a punishment? Explain your opinion and give your reasons.
范文
In recent years, the record of crime rate has been constantly renewed. Some people are of the opinion that criminals should be sent into prison. On the other hand, towards the same issue, many others insist that the law offenders should be punished to do something for the public. From my own perspective, I am completely for the former point of view. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.
First of all, it can ensure a safe and comfortable living environment to the law-abiding citizens. For criminals like thieves, robbers, rapists or even murderers, it is improper or even dangerous to let them out of jails, because they still pose threat to our society. Just as an old saying goes, “Mercy to the criminal may be cruelty to the people.”
Another reason why I advocate
