父母是否给跟孩子们讲故事 Some people think parents should read or tell stories to children, while others think parents need not do that, as children can read books, watch TV or movies by themselves. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
It has been said that “There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.” The question in debate is whether parents should read or tell stories to children or whether children should rely on themselves to read books or watch TV or movies. In this essay, both viewpoints will be fully discussed.
There are many benefits of reading bedtime stories to children. First of all, it encourages family bonds. In this day and age of hectic lives and busy schedules, reading together is a simple and enjoyable way for parents to take time out and focus on the family. Children also feel wanted and loved. What is more, it molds children into becoming readers, and this significantly increases the child’s potential for academic success as well as lifelong success in general. It also helps children master language development as by listening 登录查看全部内容

同辈压力对于年轻人的影响 Young people are often influenced in their behaviors and situations by others in the same age. This is called “peer pressures”. Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?
Peer pressure refers to the influence exerted by a peer group in promoting a person to alter his or her attitudes, values, or behaviors in order to conform to group norms. In my view, peers bring more negative than the positive impacts on a youngster, and my reasons would be expounded as below.
Individuality is removed. Actually, for the purpose of receiving the social acceptance, young people might consciously compel themselves to approve of and comply with ideas, views and behaviors of other peers, instead of obeying their inner hearts. One typical example is lifestyle. As living in groups, unconditionally catering to even-aged students and students around is the main way of young people to avoid being labeled as eccentrics, suc 登录查看全部内容

现代游戏VS传统游戏 Some people think modern games can help children to develop a wide range of skills, but others argue that traditional games can be much better for developing such skills. What is your opinion?
What kind of games should a child choose to play, modern games or traditional ones? Personally, In terms of contributions of games to enriching skills of children, I believe traditional games score higher in terms of overall performance, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
Admittedly, benefits stemming from modern games should not be ignored. Generally speaking, playing video games is an interactive process that stimulates the neural mechanism of children. By this way, the eye-hand coordination, reaction and decision-making ability can be improved. Many puzzle games also sharpen cognition capacities like calculating, interpreting, logic thinking and reasoning. In addition, another practical skill trained from playing online games is computer 登录查看全部内容

科技化生活的好坏 It is suggested that everyone should own a car, TV and fridge. Do you think disadvantages of this development to the society outweigh the advantages?
These days, the wide range use of technology-driven facilities such as cars, TVs and fridges has had a profound impact on our daily life. As far as I am concerned, it is analytical to encourage people to use them which can bring substantial benefits to the users. My reasons would be expounded as below.
New technology improves the convenience of the public, because it focuses on simplifying life by reducing the time and steps between users and their final goals. For example, the personal independence derived from having a car is immense. People can work, shop and pursue leisure activities flexibly, without being subject to the fixed arrival-and-departure schedules of public transportation systems or expensive on-call cab services. Similarly, under the function of a fridge to preserve and keep food fre 登录查看全部内容

现代技术加大贫富差距 Some people believe the range of technology available to individuals today is increasing the gap between poor people and rich people. Others think it is having an opposite effect. Discuss these points of view. What is your opinion?
What are the impacts of the modern technology on hierarchy? Some people believe the technology widens the wealth gap. Personally, I think this contention underestimates the great contributions of technology to the improvement of living conditions of low-level social groups, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
Admittedly, I have to concede that technology-based products make a bigger difference between rich people and poor ones, because such technology is too expensive to be afforded by average people. For example, by purchasing high-cost advanced medicines and surgeries, like anti-AIDS tablets and organ transplantation procedures, rich people in fatal diseases or cancers can prolong the life expectancy. By contrast, the destiny of ill poor people struggling in same troubles have to suffer the early de 登录查看全部内容

互联网是否削弱了人们的社交能力 People can go to shop, bank, and work with computer. But the danger is that people are getting isolated and losing some social skills. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?
Currently, Internet-based services like online bank and e-business provide great efficiency and convenience to the public. Many people assert that this trend will make people isolated from each other, because it hinders the face-to-face communication. Personally, I completely concur with this assertion, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
Firstly, the Internet removes the opportunities of real-world socialization. People today mainly depend on online search engines like Google or Yahoo for information acquirement, instead of people. For example, under the great convenience provided by Google which can automatically locate, filter, classify and list relevant websites, data, articles, images a 登录查看全部内容

政府是否该为大众医疗买单 Some people think the government should pay for health care and education, but others believe it is not the government’s responsibility. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
What is the obligation of the government on social medical services? Some people believe the government should completely substitute the private companies by running the health-care system by itself. Personally, I partially concur with this assertion, and my reasons would be listed as below.
Firstly, a universal health service run by the tax revenue of the government can cover all social classes, both the rich and the poor, which represents the human rights of all social individuals, and which is the precondition of social fairness and stability. In contrast, privatization of medical care leads to polarization of medical services. Only the affluent people will be able to derive its benefits, while poor people with non-affordability would be aban 登录查看全部内容

慈善是应该只管国内,还是应该管管国外 Some people believe that charity organizations should give aid to those in greatest need, wherever they live. Other people believe that charity organizations should concentrate on the people in their own country. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Charity organizations always play a pivotal role in helping people who live in sub-human conditions or impoverished countries. It is undeniable that charity organizations do a great deal for the less fortunate. However, people have mixed views about whether charity organizations should help their own country or other places. It is understandable that people from different backgrounds have disparate interpretations on the same issue.
Firstly, there are main reasons approving of such cross-border charitable support .For one thing, it is based on humanitarianism that helps those who deserve to be assisted. That is to say everyone is equal to get the aid, regardless of their origin, race, and color. For another, these charitable activities can help to reduce the gap between rich and poor. Actua 登录查看全部内容

奥运会举办利弊 Holding Olympic Games has positive effects. Others believe it is too money-consuming and the government should spend that money on other areas.
As the NO.1 sports competition worldwide, the Olympic Games was held continuously in disparate regions in the past. Many people believe this sports tradition should remain, because of its positive impacts on the host country. However, others refute that it is unwise to spend the large amount of money on it. Personally, I am in favor of the former view, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
The first reason for supporting the Olympic Games is that it provides opportunities for the modernization of social infrastructure for a host city, which can leave a lasting heritage for the whole community. For example, 2008 Beijing Olympic Games stimulated the update of transportation system, such as the doubled number of highways, higher extension of subways and accommodation of airports, as well as an integration of land and air traffic. Therefore, contributions to this city the great sporting event made 登录查看全部内容

互联网能否代替实际旅游 Some people think that it is necessary to travel abroad to learn about other countries, but other people think that it is not necessary to travel abroad because all the information can be seen at TV and the Internet. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Would the Internet substitute the practical traveling abroad, in terms of letting people learn foreign cultures? Personally, I believe this contention overestimates the function of the Internet, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
The foremost reason against this assertion is that the essence of a culture is much more than simple images. In terms of helping tourists to have a deep understanding of a local culture in certain areas, the real-world international traveling, instead of the Internet, is still a primary means by which a person can immerse himself or herself in a live cultural environment to grasp the cultural cores. For example, by face-to-face interaction with local residents, including closely observing, talking, listening, a tourist can directly and practically feel every detail about local traditions, social manners and rules, the way of speaking and th 登录查看全部内容

国家之间高相似度的优缺点 any people are intended to go abroad to travel to see what other countries look like. However, the places all around the world are looking more and more similar. What do you think is the effect cause the similarity? Do you think the advantages of this effect outweigh the shortages of it?
Today, a high parallelism between disparate countries has been a heated social issue in debate. In my view, globalization plays a significant role, which brings more advantages than disadvantages.
Firstly, the root cause of this trend is the deep globalization. Specifically, in an age of thriving international business and travelling, all countries and regions, especially the ones that are pivots of transportation, are required to rebuild their infrastructures, for the purpose of reaching so-called global standards. For example, in anywhere worldwide, hotels are designed as western-style skyscrapers; the construction of railway stations and airports always follows the international norms; information on products, indicators, billboards and even food menus are translated into English, the universally global language. Besides, the form of a global pop culture also contributes much to 登录查看全部内容

国际旅游是坏事 Many people believe that international tourism is a bad thing for them. Why do they think so? How to change their views?
International tourism is booming: millions of tourists go to foreign countries to explore the outside world. Tourism enhances the mutual understanding between the local residents and tourists. Some people refute that international tourism intensifies tensions rather than improves understanding between people from distinguishable cultures.
The people holding the latter view suppose that tourists are likely to offend the local people because of the lack of knowledge of the local customs, which differ from their own. Moreover, tourism inevitably harms the natural resources and the cultural legacy, which may lead 登录查看全部内容

环境污染是否是经济发展不可避免的过程 Some people think pollution and damage of environment are resulted from a country developing and becoming richer, and this is hard to be avoided. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Does the environmental pollution come with the economic development, as the speaker contends? This question has been a heated social issue in debate. In my view, industry is the prerequisite of a robust economy, so that industrial pollution is inescapable, and my reasons would be expounded as below.
Undeniably, there is a universally regular pattern of economy growth that in all countries, the economy rising is always at the expense of environment, which no one can be exempt from. First, in retrospect of human history, industrialization, an essential stage in midst of economy development, is an unavoidable source of environmental pollution. For example, in order to keep a rapid growth of GDP, Chinese manufacturing industry receives all kinds of product orders worldwi 登录查看全部内容

物种灭绝的原因 Many species of plants and animals are declining in the world. Give possible reasons and offer solutions.
It is undeniable that many plants and animals species are losing their natural habitats and they are becoming extinct in nature. There are several reasons for this universal phenomenon, but measures could be taken to handle the issue. This will be proven by looking at some of the causes and effective correspondent resolutions to the problem.
One of the direct causes that should be mentioned is indiscriminate logging worldwide. For example, in many countries the trees are being uprooted giving the way to large-scale farmland of rubber, coffee and tea plantations. As a result, the natural habitat of wildlife has been affected significantly by the deforestation, and has been worsened by forest fires and endangered species poaching.
Secondly, many of the human ac 登录查看全部内容

动物做试验 Some people think that using animals for experimentation purpose is cruel, but other people think that it is necessary for the development of science. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Animal testing has been applied as a normal procedure of scientific research for years. There are emerging criticisms claiming that the sufferings inflicted on laboratory animals are brutal. However, the advancements of sciences would be seriously hampered if stricter restrictions were imposed on animal researches.
Many medications and procedures currently in use would not exist if animal testing was banned. Animal testing has assisted mankind in successfully developing vaccines and antibiotics. Life-saving techniques such as organ transplant also own thanks to animal research. Such development in science has cured people 登录查看全部内容
