教育资金是否只应该投给科学型项目 Money for postgraduate research is limited. Some people, therefore, think that financial support from government should be only provided for scientific research rather than research for less useful subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Now, it is widely held that in terms of the confined scientific funding, the government should give priorities to research for "hard sciences" over "soft sciences". Personally, I think this assertion fails to grasp the values of these seemingly less fruitful subjects, and my reasons would be listed as below.
Admittedly, there is a necessity for the government to keep the primary investment into scientific research, for whose breakthroughs can make practical contributions to our society. To begin with, with more financial aid from the government to be used in the medical research, human beings will profit much from it. Indeed, a new breed of medicine needs to be experimented many times prior to being introduced to and benefiting us. Without money, experiments are hard to be proceeded. In addition, it is obvious that funds used in technology may contribute to the improvement of our living standard. For instance, the inventions o 登录查看全部内容

高等教育的学费支付办法 Higher education is funded in several ways: all costs of higher education are paid by the government; all costs are paid by the student; all costs are paid by students with a government loan which must be repaid after graduation. What are the benefits of these ways and which one is the best?
Who should shoulder the responsibility of paying for the higher education, the government or the student? Three possible ways for this social issue are proposed. Personally, I believe the best resolution is the third one that allows a student to borrow the loan from the government and repay it after graduation, and my reasons will be displayed as below.
The main benefit from the first plan is about the improvement of qualities among the public. The full payment of government for schooling fees makes university education universally available to all individuals, both rich and poor. That is to say, every citizen can be well educated and equipped with professional knowledge, skills, advanced technologies, as well as the concepts about social laws, rules and morality. With these abilities and virtues, these graduates will enhance the social productivity, the creativity in jobs, and make the community gen 登录查看全部内容

富国该如何帮助穷国 Developing countries require help offered by international organization to ensure healthy and sustainable development. Some people think that financial aid is important. Others believe that practical aid and advice is more important. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
What kinds of relief from rich countries should be given priority in terms of supporting developing countries? Some people think the best resolution of this issue is simply money. Others, however, refute that other auxiliary measures, instead of finance, are a wiser decision. Personally, I am in favor of the latter view, and the supporting reasons will be presented as below.
Firstly, financial aids allow a poor country to build up an effective government by paying salaries of governmental personnel without delay. With stable income, most officials would be satisfied and motivated to be fully in charge of social technical, executive and supervisory positions, thus lifting the community out of street violence and crimes. Besides, financial injection helps to restore the banking system. Accordingly, what the capital input brings includes vibrant industry and business, ever-increasing job opportunities and tax revenue for public welfare.

老百姓是否该上税 People believe that they should be able to keep all the money they earn and should not pay tax to the state. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In contemporary society, what we finally own is usually less than what we initially earn due to the tax payment. As long as we make money, a certain percentage of our incomes should be rendered to the government. People grumbling about this rule propose that the system should be abolished, with whom I could hardly share the same cup of tea.
Admittedly, it seems to be a little unfair considering that we cannot own all the money we earn. However, for the benefit of an individual in the long term, paying tax is reasonable and w 登录查看全部内容

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.

Who should shoulder the responsibilities of determining the contents of subjects of school education? The government or the preceptors? This issue has been a heated social issue in debate. Personally, I believe the combination of them might be the best solution, and reasons will be expounded as below.
Firstly, the government should make efforts in popularization of basic education, which ensures every child can grow up into a regular citizen. For example, it is very wise that the central government forces every elementary school to teach some compulsory subjects like official languages and state’s laws, for the general knowledge can shape all children of new generations, especially the ones in remote or religious areas, into standard people with common languages skills to read news and data in media, as well as law-abiding consciousness to distinguish the right from the wrong. On the contrary, a single teacher is untruthful. In many cases, a local teacher in a religious region prefers instill 登录查看全部内容

大家喜欢探索家族历史的原因 In some parts of the world there is an increasing number of people trying to find out the history of their families. Why? Is this trend a positive or negative development?
In the contemporary society, there is a tendency that more people have a desire to trace back their family history. Personally, I believe it is a natural response in an era of immigration, and its merits override the demerits.
The main reason why people have a big motivation and curiosity in looking for the root of family is about the population movement in a deep globalization, which is called the thriving of immigration. For example, today, there are a large number of descendants of Asian migrators born and living in the America. In this society whose population mainly consists of white and black men, they gradually find that their physical characters like colors of skins, hairs and eyes are distinctive from their peers ar 登录查看全部内容

学理科的学生人数减少的原因 Not enough students choose science subjects in university in many countries. What're the reasons for this problem? What're the effects on the society?
Nowadays, there are fewer applications of high school graduates for science subjects in universities and colleges. In this essay, I will explore possible reasons and impacts of this trend on the society.
Many reasons can explain why the population of students majoring science is shrinking. Firstly, Scientific subjects cost too much, and computer science is a typical example. High tuition fees, extra investment in devices and software for studying, in conjunction with the fierce competition in fellowships, make this subject too expensive to be affordable to many youngsters. Secondly, compared with arts subjects, the knowledge of Math, Physics and Chemistry are publicly hard to learn, because they contain t 登录查看全部内容

学习历史的必要性 Some people consider that history is of little or no use to us. Others believe that studying history helps us to know the present. Discuss these views and give your own opinion.
These days, the passion of a fraction of people in studying history is declining, because they believe such knowledge is out of mode and impractical in modern society. In my view, this contention overlooks the irreplaceable values of learning history, and my reasons will be listed as below.
Admittedly, the information in history is too theoretical, outmoded, abstract and purposeless to be applied in daily life of children. For example, no matter how proficient children are in remembering historical stories and people, they still have no idea about answers of how to use computer and the Internet, how to deal with banking business, or skills of cooking and first aids. Therefore, to this extent, it is reasonable to give the priority to those life-related subjects over history, because the form courses like computer, health care and economy are the main way of equipping ch 登录查看全部内容

音乐课和体育课的重要性 Schools should teach children academic subjects which will be useful in their future careers. Subjects such as music and sports are not useful. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Currently, there is an argument that non-academic courses like music and sports should be cut off, because they have no serviceable values. Personally, this contention is indefensible and overpasses the positive impacts of these courses on the growth of children. My reasons will be explored as below.
Admittedly, in school education, academic courses should be given the priority over music and sports, because the former is practically more helpful and beneficial. For example, by studying math, a typical academic subject, a child can acquire basic skills of coping with numbers and calculation, as well as cultivate abilities of critical thinking and reasoning. That is to say, math plays a role of doorway for children’s further education, future career and daily life. In comparison, there are very limited pragmatic effects of non-academic subjects on children’s future employment. Obviously, no matter how well a student can play 登录查看全部内容

死记硬背的好坏 Memorization of information by frequent repetition (rote learning) plays a role in most education systems. Does usefulness this method of learning and its demerits.
How to study in a more efficient way remains a heatedly debated issue. It is quite commonplace these days for students to learn by rote, which has been widely adopted by schools. However, I believe the demerits of this tendency override the merits.
Repetitive studying methods would inevitably restrain students from developing their critical thinking skills. Such process will be associated with remembering vast amount of knowledge and doing similar questions frequently, which leaves no space for deep understanding or free thinking outside of the box. As time goes by, students may be less likely to think actively and may fail to deal with new questions that are beyond the course content. Particularly for subjects such as mathematics which is largely based on logica 登录查看全部内容

At the present time, the direction of university education has been a heated social issue in debate. Some believe its main target should be training students as technologically experienced people by teaching applicable lessons. Others, however, refute that theoretical courses should be the foundation of university. Personally, I am in favor of the latter view, and my reasons would be expounded as below.
Admittedly, the importance of practical courses should never be ignored. In an information age driven by computer, basic knowledge and skills of operating computer and the Internet are universally required in most social jobs, and have been the pre-condition for job interviews. That is to say, the absence of computer teaching in school would trap graduates in the unemployment. Moreover, today, public services have fully shifted from brick-and-mortar buildings to the Internet, so it is mainly through learning 登录查看全部内容

博学VS精学Some people think students should learn all the school curricula, but others think they should focus on only one particular subject that they like most. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is undeniable that adolescents ought to concentrate on all school disciplines in order to give them a broad option of occupations to choose later in life. While I concur with the assertion, I believe engaging in only one domain that teenagers are adept at will be a blessing to the learner. This essay intends to explore some reasons.
Most people think that it is necessary for student to learn and pass all subjects taught in school whether they like the subject or not. Often young teenagers are in the state of finding their own identity and interest. By learning all subjects in school, teenagers are exposed to different types of knowledge. For instance, biology will teach human body, geography will tell about environment, math will deal with number etc. Hence, by lear 登录查看全部内容

为什么男生偏好理科，女生偏好文科 In schools and universities, some girls tend to choose arts subjects, but boys choose to study science subject. What is the reason? Do you think this trend should be changed?
In the modern society, the public has been concerned with a trend that young men prefer science and women favor liberal arts. As far as I am concerned, this tendency lies on an old recognition about so-called intelligent distinction between genders, and the society should take immediate action against the situation of gender imbalance in subjects of school.
This phenomenon stems from a traditional social stereotype that there are huge differences between genders, in terms of intelligently cognitive abilities. In centuries, it has been widely acknowledged that males have natural advantages in space, math and logic abilities while females are born with the excellence in language and memorization. These public concepts gradually become 登录查看全部内容

厌学主因 Many young people today leave school with a negative attitude towards learning. Why do you think this is happing?What can be done to encourage a positive attitude to learning in young people?
In the contemporary society, the prevalent study-weariness among youngsters after school has concerned the entire community. Generally, the rationale behind this phenomenon has much to do with the faults related to contents, approaches, management and costs of school education, as well as certain external problems like social unemployment and temptation of entertainment. I will expound these possible reasons and offer proper resolutions for reversion.
Firstly, the majority of main reasons of loathing learning result from a degraded school education, which troubles youngsters day by day. For one thing, called as ivory tower, a school, no matter high school or university, is always criticized for its on-class contents provided to students.

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

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.

The harmony between human beings and the environment as well as culture should be of contradiction and unification. It is so arbitrary to say tourists are unlikely to become accountable for both the culture and the environment of they visit.
First and foremost, any awareness can be transplanted into the innocent minds of most people. Whether tourists can realize the significance of preserving the resort they choose to visit completely depends on the potency of educating and campaigning. After all, no one is keen on destroying wonderful things on purpose. Nevertheless, the key point lies in the method and degree t 登录查看全部内容

旅游景区与文化传承Some people think that cultural traditions may be destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others believe it is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss on both sides and give your opinion.
The majority of tourism today is related to business, which makes some people fret about the preservation of cultural traditions. To propose a method to keep up traditions, the commercial application is actually not the only way to avoid destruction.
There is curiosity of tourists toward ethnic customs, and desire of local inhabitants to profit, as a consequence, increasing numbers of places to visit are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. For instance, wedding ceremonies can become businesses in minority districts in Guangxi, China. With the colorful substances and unique customs, traditional culture attracts 登录查看全部内容

Many people believe that there is a huge concern behind this global movement that tourists might trap them into bias and conflicts against destination country triggered by cultural shocks. In my opinion, this contention is indefensible; it underestimates the possibility of furthering cross-culture understanding in traveling and its consequent merits.
Admittedly, there are two main reasons for supporting the argument of traveling making prejudices. Firstly, international trip puts tourists in a completely strange culture environment filled with unfamiliar and unknown local manners, lifestyles, ways of speaking and thinking or religious taboos. With the ignorance of these different cultural factors, foreign tourists are very likely to do some "misconducts" violating regional cultural regulations or concepts, which, in turn, provoke misunderstandi 登录查看全部内容

国外游客是否该多收费 Some people think foreign visitors should be charged more than local people when they visit the cultural and historical attractions in a country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Irrefutably, with international tourism serving as the backbone of many economies of the world, there is a long-term debate about whether overseas tourists should pay more for visiting scenic spots and historical relics than local inhabitants. Publicly, some say yes and some say no. Personally, I think the higher price for foreigners is generally acceptable or even indispensable, and the supporting reasons will be expounded in the following paragraphs.
The primary reason against the difference of charge lies in the fairness. After mixture over centuries, present culture elements have been the universal wealth worldwide, far beyond the borders of nations, races or politics, which means in the eyes of foreigners, charging equally is a necessity because it represents their rights to freely and fairly appreciate a common culture. A good example is the museum of Britain which deposits, depicts and displays thousands of exotic items, such as monuments from Egypt, porcelains from China and marble sculptures fr 登录查看全部内容

Why people are still reluctant to make practical actions to preserve the environment, after decades of relevant education and publication of media? I will explore the root reasons and give correspondent resolutions for this social issue in following words.
The main reason why some people who superficially define themselves as environmentalists are actually unwilling to do something positive for environmental protection is that the practice is detrimental to their interests. For example, if the industry were forced to be removed or closed down to reduce the smog effects, the government would encounter a dramatic decline in the tax revenue and massive unemployment among the public.

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.

One of the direct causes that should be mentioned is indiscriminate logging worldwide.

Personally, I believe that living a simpler life and continuously developing new technology should work together to settle these troubles, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
On the one hand, I have to concede that the massive applications of modern facilities driven by new technologies are the root cause for environmental pollution, so that a simpler life away from technology should be encouraged.

Personally, I am in favor of the latter view, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
Admittedly, the policy of limiting the use of fresh water among the public seems to violate their rights. There is no denying that as sun and air, fresh water is a public resource, because of its main source is from the nature, from rivers to lakes to rain, instead of being created by certain political party or leader. In other words, there is a justification for citizens to consume fresh water free 登录查看全部内容

限制长距离飞行 Long distance flight uses more fuel than cars and brings pollution to the environment. We should discourage non-essential flight rather than limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Air travel, once a privilege of the wealthy, has been gaining popularity worldwide over the last few decades. The number of people traveling by air has been growing by leaps and bounds. Some environmentalists, however, propose that air travel be restrained, on the ground that it may give rise to a series of problems, including pollution and exhaustion of the world’s precious energy resources. As far as I am concerned, it does not make much sense to restrict air travel.
The most important and obvious reason is that no other vehicle can travel as fast as an airplane. In other words, air travel may be the only and the easiest option when it comes to long-distance trips. For example, if a student from China 登录查看全部内容

政府，企业和个人，谁该为环境问题负责 Some people believe that environmental problems are too big for individuals to deal with, while others think that the problems cannot be solved unless individuals take some actions. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Pollution, ranging from black smokes in major cities to Ozone layer in Antarctic Ocean, has been confronting us. Its prevalence has also generated a controversial issue about who should pay for the debt as a result of it. It is proposed that corporations and the general public should take responsibility instead of the government. I personally concur with this contention for two reasons.
The cleaning up campaign will be more thorough if individuals and businesses pay those pollution bills. As research have indicated, the majority of pollutions in the world are produced by those profit 登录查看全部内容

慈善机构通过命名普及活动 Nowadays, many charities and organizations have to publicize their activities by giving a name to a particular day, such as National Children's day for encouraging treatment of children, National Non-smoking Day for encouraging people to give up smoking.Why do these charities and organizations do so? How effective can these special days be?
Nowadays, there is a heated social tendency that many charity units tend to give a certain name to a particular day, for the purpose of publicizing their activities to the public. As far as I am concerned, the reason why they make such efforts is to make people conscious of relevant social issues, and the consequences are positive.
Firstly, the main purpose of these activities is to draw the public attentions back to in-depth and lasting social problems ignored before. For example, the meaning of National children day is to lay emphasis on children’s rights. Actually, the living of children today is often troubled into an unfair treatment, like child abuse, family violence, attacks of school bullying, and a poor lifestyle like smoking, alcoholism and even crimes of teenager gangs. Similarly, the goal 登录查看全部内容

谁该为退休人员的养老买单 Some people say that it is the responsibility for the individuals to save money for their own care when they retire. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
These days, one social issue about the sources of funding retired old people has been controversial. Some people believe it is a completely personal responsibility and any individual should save money for the life after retirement. Personally, I believe this contention overpasses obligations of the society, companies and families should fulfill, and my reasons will be expounded as below.
The first commitment of taking care of retirees should be placed on the public. Obviously, age pensions are an essential part of social welfare which is supported by social tax revenue. So, as taxpayers who make financial contributions to public services for decades, the elders certainly have the rights to enjoy this benefit after retirement. In addition, this repayment from social revenues also represents the fairness between paying and gaining, as well as kindness and morality of our civilization.
Companies are another social entity that should take a similar duty, especi 登录查看全部内容

老年人不受尊敬的原因 In many countries, insufficient respect is shown to older people. What are the reasons and what problems does it cause to the society?
Currently, showing no respect to seniors has been a heated social issue in debate. I will present my own resolutions about the root reasons and social problems related to this phenomenon, in the following essay.
Firstly, there are two main reasons why the elder group gradually loses respect in the society today. For one thing, in eyes of the public, especially of the youth, older people are no more valuable and knowledgeable, because their minds could not keep pace with the development of new technologies. For example, in the pre-Internet age, older people, namely treasures of knowledge and life experience, always play an important role of life consultants or wise men, and can give useful advices and instructions to youngsters. However, nowadays people have been used to using 登录查看全部内容

城市化带来的问题/大城市的问题 The movement of people from agricultural areas to cities has become a major trend in recent years. What are the problems with this trend? Give your suggestions about how to solve it.
Rapid urbanization is the process of people migrating from rural areas to urban regions, which increases the scale of the cities to which they move. As far as I am concerned, this tendency goes with many risks, and correspondent resolutions will be also presented as below.
There are many major problems caused by rural-to-city migration, including the decline of living conditions, infrastructure challenges, social crimes, broken family structure, and economic recession in rural places. Firstly, a higher-level population density of urban areas causes overcrowding-related social issues, for example, individuals living in small spaces with several other people, the rise of slums, and rapidly rising rents for housing.
Secondly, the movement of people from rural areas to urban areas also puts a strain on a city's infrastructure. Roads and freeways become overcrowded as new construction struggles to keep up with the demand. Waiting time at emergency rooms can become a 登录查看全部内容

女性和男性是否擅长不同的工作 Some people think that men and women have different qualities. Therefore, some certain jobs are suitable for men and some jobs are suitable for women. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nature has blessed both men and women with individual characters, which set them apart. All these disparate traits allow them to do different tasks according to their affinities. Due to this, some people assert that it would be best for both genders to engage themselves in those tasks which suit their personalities and skill sets. However, other refute that both are equal and can do each other’s job as efficiently and effectively as they can do their own. Therefore, let us analyze the task from both perspectives in order to arrive at a proper conclusion.
To begin with, it can be said that both males and females have their individual set of characteristics, which enables them to perform well in certain tasks. For example, women are considered exceptionally good at taking care of the household activities and bringing up the children, because most of the women are kind, loving and caring by nature. Similarly, men also have some special traits attac 登录查看全部内容

公司是否该因为年龄关系拒绝人们就业 In some countries, it is illegal for companies to reject job applicant for their age, is this a positive or negative development?
At the present time, governments in many countries take a policy that forbids companies to refuse the job applications of seniors. Personally, I think this strategy is beneficial for both the society and the elderly themselves, and my reasons would be expounded in the following paragraphs.
The first reason of approving of this policy is that the rejection of companies based on the age of job applicants obviously violates the right of citizens. In fact, jobs which are defined as social resources should be fairly open to all individuals, regardless of age. If the age becomes an excuse that keeps people from participating in work, people who are competent in working but not involved in 登录查看全部内容

解题思路
大型超市为顾客创造了一个安逸的购物环境。
1. 一般地说，城外超市的第一大特点就是大规模的布局，和宽敞的，开放式的空间，在其中，人们能自由地，舒心地挑选和搬运货物，而不用担心混乱的人群(huddle)，狭窄的国道和收银台的长队。
2. 除此之外，大型超市提供了各种各样的商品，从日用品到衣服，从家电到奢侈品，这种高度的集中化带给顾客一种"All in One"的购物体验，即"all goods in one trip"，提高了购物的效率。
第一个直接的问题就是私家车使用的增多。城外的大超市让大众不得不频繁地驾驶私家车往返于连接市区和市外的高速公路。这种趋势带来和明显的风险，如市区出口的大塞车，长期疲劳驾驶(过度驾驶)导致的车祸，和一个大面积的尾气排放，它们都严重地威胁到了人们的健康和安全。
2. 另外一个无法忽略的缺点就是，这种商店和市区的分离会带来购物上的不便。一旦城里的商店被城外的大型超市所取代，市区的人们不得不花费额外的数小时在高速公路的驾驶上来去大超市，仅仅是为了一点点的食物和日用品。结果是，它大大降低了市区居民的幸福指数。

In the current society, the substitution of small stores in towns with out-of-town hypermarkets has been a heated social issue in debate. Some people have a huge concern with this tendency because it might increase the use of cars. Personally, I partially concur with this contention, and my reasons will be presented in the following paragraphs.
Admittedly, this shift of shopping location can be very beneficial, for the reasons that it creates a wonderful environment for customers. Firstly, one main feature of supermalls out of town is a large-sized layout and an extensively open space. In this circumstance, shoppers can embrace high-level freedom and comfort in terms of goods selecting and conveying, with no concern of the huddle in passageway or long queue in front of cashier’s desks. Besides, compared to a small in-town store with limited category of goods, an out-of-town hypermarket is characterized 登录查看全部内容

In the present society, we have stepped into an aging society. Many countries and governments are much more concerned about the situation confronting us, especially how can seniors be able to lead a happy life. Under this circumstance, many geracomiums spring up like mushrooms with the view to furnishing the elderly a better place to settle down. Personally, I think this is a wise practice to resolve the aging issue.

跨国公司利弊 Some people think developing country should invite large foreign company to open office and factory to grow their economies. Other people think the developing country should keep the large company out and develop local company instead. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
In order to let capital flow in, the door must be open. There is an increased consciousness among developing countries that they cannot fulfill their expected economic potentials without attracting equity along with management assistance from large transnational enterprises. On the contrary, to rule foreign offices and factories out is to deny the opportunity to court international money which can help plant entrepreneurial seeds for the local economy prosperity
For a developing country, little choice is seen but foreign capitals. Over the past decades many developing countries have sought outside investments in what is called a win-win game benefitting foreign companies as well. The trend of such bilateral cooperation has become even more obvious in a world of globalization. Plenty of economic fruits are being shared by investing companies and local industries alike, and this can be proved by such su 登录查看全部内容

贫富增大的主因 The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming much wider, the rich richer, the poor even poorer. What problems can the situation cause and give the solutions.
Economic inequality is the root of social turmoil and turbulence. In many parts of the world the gap between the rich and the poor is widened. The following paragraphs intend to explore the reasons and suggest ways to tackle this problem.
While education has becoming an almost decisive factor in job hunting, the rich are able to send their children to study in good university. Moreover, they tend to send the children to study abroad while that the poor have to depend on work experiences or study from local universities. In turn, it is undeniable that in today's world, most company still prefer to hire an overseas graduate. Therefore, the poor would only have a slight chance.
