Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether technology is indispensable in education. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

This is an interesting but thought-provoking cartoon: beside the blackboard, a teacher requires his student to answer a simple question in math--- “2 2=?” To our shock, the youngster responds, “I’m going to need tech support.” 
Then, when seeing the picture above, we can perceive its connotation: if youngsters intend to acquire sound knowledge in learning, it is not advisable for them to depend too much on tech support. In contemporary society, it is a common phenomenon for a host of students to seek help from technologies. Meanwhile, without tech help an increasing number of teenagers find it hard to solve any problems in study. Several similar examples can be given: without electronic dictionaries, some students have difficulties in English study; without calculators, some teenagers have troubles in basic math assignments. It is tech that leads some youngsters to lose their fundamental ability to learn. As a matter of fact, intelligent learners in large numbers have never deemed that technology is indispensable in education. 
Do bear in mind: technology is just a tool. Thus, students should be educated, advocated and encouraged to enhance their practical skills. As a youngster, I am convinced that it is of great necessity for students to know when and how to utilize technology in study, in a rational way.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining “why it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance. You can give examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

范文：
There is a common but enlightening remark: “it is unwise to judge a person by his/her appearance.” Obviously, this saying can be naturally associated with the key to judging an individual: if we intend to know what exactly a person is, it is not advisable for us to depend only on his appearance, because appearance does not mean one’s ability or virtues.
In contemporary society, it is a common phenomenon for every one to meet, know and get acquainted with a host of colleagues or friends. However, in communication, intelligent people find it rather unwise to judge a person merely by his appearance. Taking a look around, we can notice a great many examples like this: a teacher can not judge a student’s academic performance by appearance; an employer can not judge an employee’s working performance through appearance. By contrast, wise men judge a person by his ability or virtues. It is one’s ability or virtues that enable him to gain others’ love, respect and trust.
As a college student, I am convinced that it is of great necessity for youngsters to learn to judge persons in a rational way. Thus, we should educate, advocate and encourage our friends, classmates and acquaintances to pay more attention to others’ ability and virtues, rather than appearance. （214 words）

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

How to Live a Meaningful Life

Among all the highlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I cannot agree any more.
If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living.
Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society. Only in this way can I keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fullfil my life.

Some experts utter a thought-provoking

A number of individuals favor this ranking because of its advantages. To begin with, without these ranks, it is impossible for people to make a direct comparison between different colleges.
