The Influence of Television and Movies
There is no doubt that watching television andmovies can
influence the way that people er, it seems that
people are spending moreand more time watching some sort of
visualentertainment, whether it is television, a video tapeor
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 certainproducts. Television advertising
is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters
permitadvertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect
people is that they give people either abroader view of the
world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they
who watch news and educational program can learn
many new things while those whowatch primarily entertainment
shows may come to believe that most people in the worldpossess
great wealth and good looks. It may make them become
dissatisfied with their ownlives. Finally, perhaps the most
1 17

susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell
factfrom 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 tothese effects. Television and
movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the
placeof real experience.
2.手机的利弊
Advantages and Disadvantages of the MobilePhone
With the rapid economic development, the mobilephone has
found its way into campuses and a hostof students take advantage
of this wonderfulgadget to communicate with each other.
Thisphenomenon gives rise to this question: What arethe
advantages and disadvantages of the mobilephone?
It is widely believed that it greatly facilitatesstudents’
campus life. Many instances could be foundto support this type
of opinion. A graduating student in our university bought a
mobile phonein the course of hunting for his job. He told me
that through the mobile phone he could easilykeep in touch with
the employer of the company he intends to work with and would
not missany opportunities.
However, everything has both positive and negative facets.
1 17

The mobile phone also hasmany disadvantages. For instance, the
ringing of the mobile phone often disturbs the teacher’
steaching and other students’ learning.
Personally, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh the
disadvantages of it as long aswe don’t interfere with others
while using it.

air-conditioner automatically turned off . I didn't understand
why at first ， but soon Ilearned that there was a great shortage

off because of a power failure midnight.
With the rapidly developing industry and the
1 17

ever-increasing population， demand forelectricity supply is
soaring. Besides， summers in recent years are much hotter than
before ，so most working places and households are
air-conditioned ， which consumes additionalelectricity.
Face with such a hard nut ， we have to find ways to crack
it . Above all ， in western areasChina ， there is surplus of
electricity supply. So ， cities that are thirsty for
electricity mayask for remote help. Then ，when we have
electricity ， we should remember to save it . Setyour
air- conditioners at 27C and you won't feel less comfortable
than when they are at 26C . Infact ， some factories already

Online Games
As a product of modern computer and theInternet, online
games have become very popular among college students. A great
manystudents have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from
these games. But as we see,some students lacking
self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that
their healthand academic performances are affected. This
phenomenon has caused much worry fromthe teachers and parents.
However, some others argue that online games are not always
harmful. They can train theability of youngsters to respond to
things quickly. Moreover, they can stimulate theirimagination
and their interest in computer science. More importantly, it
does bring collegestudents much pleasure and release their
pressure greatly.
From my point of view, online games are a wonderful
entertainment if you play them in areasonable way. When they
interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to
givethem up at once. Yet if you have enough self-control over
them, you can certainly obtain realpleasure and benefit a lot

Certificate Craze on Campus
In recent years, to get a certificate has become anew craze
among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus
what he or she isbusy doing, quite possibly, you may get the
answer that he is preparing for a certificate ofsome kind. Why
does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. To
begin with, it is theemployment pressure that forces college
students to get more certificates. With the admissionexpansion
of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce
competition in the jobmarket. How can one make himself more
competitive? More certificates at hand, rmore,
1 17

diploma and certificates are still vital standards by which a
good many employersmeasure a person’s ability. In order to
increase the qualifications for a job, the studentscompel
themselves to run from one exam to another.
From my point of view, we should be more rational when it
comes to certificates, sincecertificates do not necessarily
prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certificates
blindly isnothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should
focus on improving our ability but notgetting a certificate of
no practical value.

Extravagant Spending on College Campus
According to a survey, in recent years the monthly
expenditure of a college student hasbeen on the sharp rise. Many
1 17

college students have no concept of thrift in their mind.
Theytake it for granted that they spend money from their parents
before they enter into the extravagant spending
is primarily caused by the following factors.
First of all, nowadays most of the students are the only
children of their families. They arethe apple in their family’
s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. In addition,
withthe improvement of living standards, parents can afford
higher expenditure of their er, some students
like to pursue fashion and trends, which tend to need more
y, campus love is also a possible factor causing
extravagant spending.
From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer,
should learn to be should limit our expenditure on
daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardlessof
their prices. The habit of thrift can help us form right values
and is favorable to our futuredevelopment.

Social Practice of College Students
Nowadays a large number of universitiesencourage and
organize students to take part in social practice activities.
During theholidays, students in mounting numbers choose to be
the volunteers, take part-time jobs, ortake part in other
practical activities alike. It is obvious that social practice
is playing anincreasingly essential role in China’s college
education.
Undoubtedly, college students have benefited a lot from
social practice. Above all, they areprovided with more
opportunities to contact the real world outside campus. What
is more, insocial practice activities, students can apply their
theoretical knowledge to the solution to thepractical problems.
So their practical skills are improved greatly. Besides, social
practice helpsstrengthen students’ sense of social
responsibility.
Considering the above-mentioned, it is necessary for
college students to participate insocial practice. However,
1 17

social practice may bring some problems. For example,
somestudents spend too much time in taking part-time jobs so
as to ignore their study. Hence, weshould try to balance the
relationship between social practice and study.
8.广告
广告是否让人民变得不一样
题目是：Advertisements discourage us from being different
individuals and make us become what they want us to be and look
the same. Do you agree or disagree?
Advertisements discourage us from being different
individuals and make us become what they want us to be and look
the same. Do you agree or disagree?
广告阻止我们成为不同的个体， 使我们成为他们想要我们成为的
样子，看起来都一样。你同意或不同意吗?
思路解析：
1. 广告让人们变得个性化。举例，大量的广告标语，如“唯一
的”，“特别的”，“最好的 ”，“不一样的”，都是在暗示人们去购买那
些不那么大众化的产品来突出自我。
2. 但是 ，广告的基本功能却是帮助大公司垄断市场。举例，投
入巨资打造的闪亮广告能不断巩固那些大品牌在大 众中的形象，这吸
引了越来越多的人来购买同样的产品。相反，那些小公司却因为缺乏
资金做广 告而陷入破产边缘。最终，整个市场会被单一品牌垄断。
1 17

3. 广告的另外一个作用是制造流行趋势，这刺激了人们对同一
个 时尚进行盲目的购买。举例，在大厂商的广告诱惑之下，很多的人
们总是购买同一个著名品牌的衣服，鞋 子，包包，这让她们的外表缺
乏区别。
【范文】
Nowadays, the overwhelming influence of advertisements on
media has made too many controversial social issues. Some
people argue that advertisements make the audience have the
similar look by driving them to buy products of the same brand.
Personally, I fundamentally agree with this assertion, and my
reasons will be explored as below.
Admittedly, the literal intention of advertisements is to
sharpen the concept of individualism. For the purpose of
distinguishing brand names, slogans and testimonials in
advertisement are always full of very personalized words,
including

values of these words bring people a motivation to change, and
a desire to try something distinctive. Consequently, the gap
between people can be broadened, because any individual is
stimulated by advertisements to express their personalities by
buy different items, instead of following common tastes.
1 17

However, when considering practical effects of
advertisements on the society, I strongly believe they play a
role of depersonalizing the audience, and the first reason is
that commercials are the key tool for big companies to
monopolize the market. One hand, many big companies invest
billions of dollars annually in making fascinating and
prepossessing advertisements to attract the public, which
consistently maintains the loyalty of patrons, and cultivate
good impressions of potential customers on their brands. On the
other hand, small companies have too limited financial ability
to afford these costly publicity campaigns, so that their names
and influences continue to fade and lose consumer groups. That
is to say, advertisements, an expensive privilege only for rich
and big companies, help these companies exclusively occupy the
market, as well as reducing the diversity of brands. In this
situation, people definitely look the same, because they have
no other options but buy the same-brand food, clothes and
devices produced by a dominating company.
Another reason supporting this assertion lies on the fact
that exposure to advertisements standardizes thoughts and
tastes among audiences, especially in terms of their appearance.
A typical example comes from fashion, cosmetic and shampoo
1 17

commercials which highlight the close-up of images of certain
model or celebrity. This is a strong brainwash by implying that
images of these actors are common standards of human beauty,
and then triggering massive public imitation shows round by
round. In too many cases, large groups of hypnotized people,
regardless of ages, careers and races, blindly follow and chase
so-called iconic figures in an advertisement, mainly through
buying and using the same lipstick and perfume, wearing same
clothes, watch, ornaments and bag, even copying the same hair
style.
In conclusion, I believe the main social influence of
advertisements is to make people have the similar images
apparently. Although slogans of advertisements tend to
individualize the audience, the truth is that advertisements
not only let big companies rule the market solely, but also
manipulate the public’s minds to buy the same things.
9.搬去新地方
搬去新地方会失去老朋友吗
题目为：Agree or disagree:it is often not a good city to
move to a new city or a new country because you will lose touch
with old friends。
【范文】
1 17

As the technology of public transportation keeps advancing,
more citizens can choose to dwell in the cities that are
beneficial to their own development. Inevitably, there occurs
a controversy whether moving to a new city or country will lead
to the rupture of relationship among friends. From my
perspective, I think the statement is not sensible.
Firstly, moving to a new country or city will not result
in the loss of old friends. To be more specific, the maintenance
of friendship doesn’t lie in how far they live with each other
and the development of technology has diversified the ways of
interacting with friends. The invention of cellphones break the
shackles caused by distance and overseas students can choose
to communicate with their family members and friends through
a variety of Apps like WeChat that makes video calls possible.
Except for that, by looking at the pictures popping up all over
the social media like Facebook, people can easily capture what
is happening to their friends. For instance, my friend Selina
took selfie in the Sydney Opera House a week ago and I would
learn that she was having fun in the Australia with her picture
posted on the Instagram. Therefore, a wide range of advanced
electronic gadgets can be used to sustain friendship.
Moreover, instead of losing old friends, city migrants can
1 17

even enlarge their social circles and achieve more success.
Restricted in a city for a long period, people may be trapped
in a situation that would block their development and they can
gain refreshing experience while immigrating to a new city. My
friend of Mine named Michael served as a Market Analyst in a
renewed company in Beijing. However, he couldn’t see any
progress in recent years and then an opportunity comes out.
Because of his five-year working experience, a foreign trade
cooperation tried to recruit him as the Market Analyst because
the firm was planning to start a new program. Then he grasped
the chance and earn a challenging life that he likes even though
he was required to work in Shanghai. Our relationship have not
experienced any interruption and his strong ability of being
adapted to the new environment helps him to make lots of new
friends. Accordingly, moving to a new city can, occasionally,
help to break the deadlock in our professions.
Admittedly, it can be sensible that friends can be
estranged owing to the long distance with each other.
Specifically speaking, the chances to meet with each other will
be limited a lot. However, as I just put, for one thing, people
can talk with each other through various social network
software. For another thing, the distance between cities is not
1 17

a problem anymore since there have been many public
transportation tools like the high-speed trains and airplanes
that will lead us to anyplace we try to go in a very short period.
In a word, moving to a new city or a new country is good
choice under some circumstance. Besides, the highly developed
technology can help to strengthen the relations with our
friends and the possibilities of living a different life and
achieving success can both explain why I s
10.运气与成功
运气与成功
people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has
nothing to do with or disagree with the
quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain
your position.
【范文】
It has been said that when people succeed, it is because
of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success.
Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the
surest way to success for most people, I must disagree with this
statement. It cannot be denied that luck often plays an
important role in success. For example, many important
discoveries have been made by accident. There have been many
1 17

cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs
while they were actually trying to solve another problem or
create a different device.
Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being
in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone
by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity. And of
course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery
winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected
success.
While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not
to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard
work. If one is willing to work hard, I believe that success
will eventually be achieved, with or without the added benefit
of luck. Moreover, hard work is often an essential ingredient
of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky
encounter. If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his
knowledge and skills, he may not recognize that lucky
breakthrough when it comes along. Therefore, my suggestion is
not to count on luck to bring you success. Instead, work hard
and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.
