1. 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.

2. 电视对人们沟通带来的影响
　　【题目】
　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
　　【范文】The Effects of Television on Communication
　　There is no doubt that television has greatly changed people’s lives. After its invention， it became an almost indispensable part of most households within the space of just a few years. Nowadays， many families have two or even three television sets so that every member of the family can watch what he wants whenever he wants. In my opinion， this has significantly reduced the amount of time that family and friends spend communicating with each other.
　　Before the invention of television， people spent their leisure time in more active and social pursuits. They often played cards or other games， listened to the radio together or went out to see friends. But now television is widely available and it offers a variety of program choices that appeal to almost every interest. People no longer have to look to others for entertainment. Also， television can be like a sedative. Studies have shown that watching a great deal of television makes people more passive. Finally， people are simply watching increasing amounts of television. And with two or three TV sets in the house， there is no need for them to even watch it together.
　　Although television has reduced the amount of time that family and friends spend together， it doesn’t have to be this way. People can make the choice to turn off the TV and do something more active. Or， if they really want to watch TV， they can find a thought-provoking program that they would all like to watch and discuss afterwards.
3. 儿童教育应群教还是因材施教
　　Some people think educate children of different abilities together will benefit them. others think intelligent children should be taught separately and give special courses， discuss both side and give own opinion!
　　[参考范文](儿童教育应群教还是因材施教)
　　Endowed by different talents， every individual is contributing to our society in different ways. Therefore， to treat every student equally is a common practice at existent schools; however， there is a tendency of growing popularity that schools are oriented by producing "elite students". It has aroused fierce controversies， for which reason I suggest that schools should keep their traditional strategy unchanged.
　　To begin with， to separate students according to their individual competence can injure their personality development. Some seemingly intelligent students are instilled with a sense of superiority. Consequently， they place themselves over the rest of the class， but some findings have indicated that those are of great wise are not necessarily of great use.
　　Secondly， to categorize students with a rigid rule can spur the rivalry between students， which is harmful for the academic atmosphere of a school. Schools are prestigious because of their inborn ability to provide children a relaxing and cooperative environment to study. To treat gifted children different would inescapably upgrade the competition between children. Arguments or infightings thus escalate.
　　Admittedly， to devise particular courses for a certain group of students can find their way to benefit students’ future. Some students have advanced their special interests in some subjects， such as philosophy， astronomy， and geography， to mention but a few. Those subjects， in general， demand fewer practitioners， compared with other profitable subjects， e.g business， computer， and graphic design， etc. However， as emphasized before， it is rational to leave students options to choose， instead of forcing an inflexible rule
　　In brief， to train students for specific purpose might be beneficial in some sense， but to coach them together is more favorable a strategy.
4. 阐述健康在生命中的重要性
　　[题目]Health and Life
　　As the saying goes， you don’t know what happiness is until you lose it’ you don’t know what health is until you are ill. “Health is of vital importance to life” sounds like a cliche to everyone， but it is absolutely true.
　　The negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul， the harmful habits such as smoking， excessive drinking and burning mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plans are interrupted by bad health! Even a normal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health.
　　How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy. Regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of sources， one should do at least two things for him/herself. First， hold an active and optimistic attitude toward life and maintain a mental well-being. Second， live a regular life and keep a balanced diet. Anyway， a healthy life is within reach when you begin to adjust your mind and body.
5. 阐述城市公共交通的重要性
　　【题目】Should governments spend more money on improving roads and highways， or should governments spend more money on improving public transportation (buses， trains， subways)? Why Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.
　　【范文】
　　Good transportation is very important to the success of both individuals and a city. Without efficient means of transportation， people will waste a great deal of time going to and from work. This will make them tired and less productive in their jobs. People may rely on either private or public transportation to get them to and from work. If a choice has to be made between spending money on improving the roads for private vehicles or improving public transportation， I would choose the latter for the following reasons.
　　First of all， better public transportation systems， including buses， trains and subways， will encourage more people to use them rather than drive their own cars. This will reduce the total amount of traffic on the roads and make travel quicker for everyone. Second， using public transportation saves energy.
6. 大都市生活带来的优点
　　【题目】
　　Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
　　【范文】The Advantages of City Life
　　There are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a small town. The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offers a cleaner， quieter and often friendlier place to live. However， despite the advantages of small town life， I prefer to live in a big city for several reasons.
　　First， life in the city is more convenient. More goods are available and stores are open later. Also， there is better public transportation so it is easier to get around. I can find almost anything I want easily in the city. Second， there are more ways to spend leisure time in the city. There are many places I can go to meet friends and have fun. Finally， and most importantly， the city offers more educational and career opportunities. The city often attracts the best teachers and the best companies. There is also a wider choice of jobs so it is easier to move up the career ladder.
For all of these reasons， I prefer to live in the city. Although I sometimes miss the fresh air and quiet life of a small town， nothing can make up for the opportunities that the city offers me. If one wants to be successful， I believe the best place to live is the city.

7. 低碳

3. 我们应该如何去做
[范文]

Nowadays, there are a considerable number of individuals who prefer to lead a low-carbon lifestyle which find expression in the fact that more and more commuters are using public transportation system in their daily life.

Low carbon lifestyle can endow us and our society with numerous benefits. Firstly, it goes beyond doubt that low carbon lifestyle contributes a lot to the environmental protection and it is a favorable way to slow down the rate of climate change of our earth, which also means a lot to our health.

And there is a diversity of measures we can take so as to lead such an environmental-friendly life.

For another, we are supposed to cultivate the public awareness of energy conservation for energy in the world today is decreasing rapidly.

Furthermore, at our leisure, we can seek opportunities to plant more trees which can absorb carbon-dioxide.
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.
8. 醉酒驾车
Drunken Driving
Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that drunken driving has been a grave problem with which we are confronted. Generally speaking, there are several reasons accounting for /behind this phenomenon. Firstly, recent decades have witnessed the rapid development of people’s living standards. As a result, cars gained ever-increasing popularity and have found their way into our everyday life. Secondly, people participate in more activities orbanquets than ever before, where they will drink liquor/strong wine. Then, they may get drunk but continue to drive.
Drunken driving is bound to generate severe consequence if we keep turning a blind eye to it.
