【参考范文】
With the development of the society and economy, there arise a lot of new things. Various Private schools are one of them. When you read newspapers, when you turn on TV, when you walk on the street, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools. There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, arts, sports , and so on. However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools concerning their advantages and
disadvantages. On the one hand, private schools can meet the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.
Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools , I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
2、Is It Necessary to Attend Training Classes
(1). State the graph briefly; (图表略)
(2). Give the possible reasons for the phenomenon;
(3). Your opinion.
【参考范文】
It can be seen from the graph that great changes have taken place in the number of training classes in the past
fifteen years. On the one hand, before the 1990s, the increase of the training classes was not so great. On the other hand, there has been a sharp increase in the training classes after the 90s.
What are the reasons for the change? There are three reasons for this. First, with the development of the society, more and more people pay much attention to the improvement of their ability, which they hope to improve through special training classes. Second, to most people, training plays a direct part in helping them to attain their goal quickly and efficiently. Third, with the improvement of the people’s living standards, more and more people regard training as a preferable way to spend their spare time.
As far as I am concerned, I think it is necessary to attend training classes. For one thing, they can play a very important role in helping you to attain your goal quickly and
efficiently. For another, you can learn not only what you need quickly but also a new way to broaden your horizon.
3、Knowledge and Diploma (Fake Diploma)
(1) 目前，在社会上有这样的一种说法，文凭越高越吃香；
(2) 而有些人则认为文凭不等于知识；
(3) 你的观点。
【参考范文】
With the development of the society, more and more people enroll in the postgraduate entrance examination for getting a high diploma. It is believed that high diploma equals to high ability and profound knowledge. Most companies are inclined to hire the people with high diploma. It seems that having high diploma means a better future.
However, is it really true that high diploma equals to high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on
this kind of idea. They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma. Take Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft, for example, he does not have a MBA degree, which is believed to play a vital role in the success in commercial life. Furthermore, Sam Walton, founder of Wal---Mart Stores Inc., does not have a MBA degree. But they are the most successful men in commerce. In my opinion, diploma does not equal to knowledge. A diploma is a piece of paper, which proves your education degree. But your true ability and the real knowledge come from your hard study and endowment. If you got a diploma by dishonest behavior, no matter how high a diploma it was, it was just a piece of paper, and you were as blank as that paper.

【参考范文】
Today, English is becoming more and more popularized. Many countries have made English taught as the second language in schools. But why do students need English? If they do need, what do they need it for? A survey made by a teacher at a university answers the two questions.
The result of the survey suggests that almost all students need English and they need it for different purposes. Most of the students learn English because they need to read English textbooks, journals and attend
English lectures, while only a few students need to use it to talk to English-speaking visitors, attend seminars, write English letters, etc. There are also some differences between economics students and engineering students: Compared with engineering students, more economics students need to read business English and to write economics reports in English.
From the results of the survey, we can see that students learn English for different purposes, which varies with different students. Whatever the purposes are, one thing is certain: Students need English, and English teaching should be strengthened in universities.
5、The Importance of Education
教育的重要性
The prosperity of a nation depends on the development of education. Any development in science and technology throughout the world is due to the
development of education, which brings up scientists and inventors. It is difficult to emphasize just how important the role of education is. There is no doubt that countries with undeveloped education will remain poor.
Education is also vital to the development of an individual. Of all elements of success in our careers， none is more important than education. It is not genius but the knowledge that makes the difference between success and failure. In fact， most of the famous people of our times spent many years studying. Can you name any great men you admire who are not well-educated ?
Some people, however, are still ignorant of the importance of education. Some parents, especially those in the countryside, think it unnecessary to send their children to school. Some parents have their children work for money at a very
young age. In view of this, compulsory education must be enforced to see to it that every young people will have the chance to receive adequate education.
6、The Pros and Cons of Dormitory Life (集体生活的利与弊)
For most university students, dormitory life is a new experience. Most students have never lived far away from their parents before coming to university. They have always had their parents to depend on for advice and guidance, and when they become university students, their lives begin to change.
There are striking difference between home life and dormitory life. Students must begin to be responsible for their own action. They must depend on themselves to get up in the morning on time for class, to eat properly, to keep their clothes and themselves clean, and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and
relaxation. They must also learn to take care of their money, making sure to preserve enough for both necessities and for fun.
In general, there are both good and bad points about life in student dormitory. Often, dormitory rooms are small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one’s privacy and make it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies. On the other hand, in a dormitory, students have a great deal more freedom than they might have at home. They can act according to their own will and desire than to that of their parents.
7、独生子女面临大学生活的挑战
Now more and more sons and daughters from one-child families are attending universities. They distinguish themselves as a new social group. This new generation has obvious advantages since they are brought up in favorable family circumstances. But there also exist some
weaknesses in the way they think and behave, in their sentiments and in their characters.
Though most of these college students are intelligent and fond of study, some are comparatively less capable of handling their social and living affairs. When they meet something unexpected, they don’t know how to solve it. Some students, even phone home to ask what to do each time they run into any problem. They feel weak at knowing how to conduct themselves in college for this is the first time for them to live independently.
I think we should not blame all this on them. It is not their own faults to be like this because they’re inevitable products of certain times. We should sincerely help them be aware of their shortcomings and adjust themselves to college life and to the society.
8、Campus Activities 校园活动
Campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges. These activities range from academic to recreational, such as academic reports, social consulting services, speech contests, poet club, painting club, singing and dancing groups, etc.
These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all, they play a positive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often busy themselves with textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the variety of the activities provides opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds and knowledge. In addition, the activities also serve students living in the “ivory tower”, who have little chance to get in touch with society. Now the activities open the door for participants to leave their classrooms and get to know society.
All this offers an important means for students to broaden their horizons. They believe campus activities will continue to grow and flourish with the right kind of guidance and help.
9、Cheating On Exams
(1). 在各类考试中，都发现有学生作弊的现象。
(2). 作弊所带来的不利影响。
(3). 怎样制止作弊。
【参考范文】
With the development of the society, people pay more and more attention to education. As a result, thousands of students take part in various examinations. However, some students have been found cheating on their exams. Some of them copy from each others, some took out their textbooks or reference books to copy, some copied from small pieces of paper on which they had prepared for the exam, still some used the modern communication tools such as BP,
mobile phone as a way to cheat on exams. Then, what’s the effect of cheating on exam? There are three consequences for this. First, it results in an unfair competition and will destroy the creativity of those bright students. Second, it will ruin the students’ self-confidence in the long run. Third, under that kind of circumstances, the students graduated from the schools will not be the one who can meet the need of the society.
However, how to stop cheating on exam? In my opinion, there are two ways we can adopt. First, a severe punishment should be put into effect to prevent students from cheating. Second, great effort should be made to make students understand what kind of person the society needs and try to improve their ability.
