我是工藤新一六级必备作文

Topic 1

Is It Better to Buy or Rent?

The

price

of

housing

has

kept

increasing

in

recent

years,

which

causes

a

big

headache

for

people

living

in

cities.

A

lot

of

people

cannot

afford

to

own

a

real

estate

property,

so

they

choose

to

rent

instead of buying an apartment. This group of people does not want

to bear burden of mortgage so that they opt for a practical solution.

Renting an apartment makes them have a place to stay and thus they

can

focus

on

work

as

well

as

personal

other

people,

however,

believe

that

an

apartment

owned

by

themselves

makes

them feel safe and relieved, so they are willing to sacrifice some other

aspects of life to borrow money from the bank to buy an apartment.

As

far

as

I

am

concerned,

to

buy

or

to

rent

is

all

about

people's

personal

choice. But when

the

price of

housing is

standing

too

high,

it

will

be

better

to

rent

first

and

wait

for

the

good

timing

when the price is going down to buy.

Topic 2: On Job Hopping

It

seems

that

nowadays,

very

few

young

people

are

willing

to

stay in a job position for long, let alone for the whole life. They change

jobs constantly.

This results from several factors. Firstly, young people like fresh

things, and it is easy for them to be fed up with old routine work. So

when they stay in a position for a while,the excitement will fade out.

Secondly, young people are still looking for the best suitable job for

themselves. They are quite realistic and not willing to waste time in a

job

they

are

not

interested

in.

Thirdly,

some

young

people

are

not

satisfied with current salary, believing they deserve better pay.

Topic 10: Lectures and Discussions

Lectures

and

discussions

are

two

main

styles

of

teaching

in

universities,

and

each

has

its

own

advantages

and

disadvantages.

Some students are in favor of lectures, but others enjoy

discussions

very much.

Lecturing is the most traditional teaching method in China,

because

it

is

considered

highly

efficient.

Students

can

get

used

to

lectures

easily,

for most

of

them

have been

taught

in this way

since

primary school. Teachers play a very important role in lectures, while

students seldom have chances to speak. On the contrary, discussions

allow

students

to

have

chances

to

interact

with

each

other.

What's

more, students have more freedom and initiative in class where they

can express their ideas freely and ask any questions about the topic.

However,

the

class

can

easily

go

out

of

control

if

there

is

no

restriction.

As for me, I prefer discussions to lectures because of the open

atmosphere. However, teachers should take charge of the discussions

to help students learn more.

Topic 11: On the Importance of Mutual Understanding

Nowadays

many

people

are

so

focused

on

their

own interests

that

they

barely

consider

the

feelings

of

others.

As

a

result,

misunderstandings, or even conflicts, is important for people

to

understand

each

other

during

a

conversation,

or

in

the

interpersonal communication.

For

one

thing,

mutual

understanding

makes

it

easy

for

both

parties to reach an agreement on the topic they are discussing. This

may

help

solve

the

most

difficult

issues

among

different

cultures,

countries or communities. Furthermore, for people who are friendly

to

each

other,

this

mutual

understanding

can

definitely

strengthen

the

love

and

friendship

between

the

speaker

and

the

listener can do much to help gain mutual understanding. On the one

hand,

the

speaker

should

try

his

best

to

express

himself

clearly,

correctly, vividly and forcefully. On the other hand, the listener should

also

make

every

effort

to

be

very

attentive.

Most

importantly,

both

parties should take a friendly attitude towards the other side.

Topic 12: Book Smart or Street Smart?

There

is

a

heated

debate

nowadays

about

which

is

better

or

more

useful,

to

be

book

smart

or

street

smart.

People's

opinions

differ greatly over this topic. Some people believe to be book smart is

way better. Many important fields like science and education need a

great number of book- smart people. They can apply what they learn

from

books

to

their

career.

Others

argue

that

true

cleverness

is

not

about how much you have learnt, but about how you deal with what

you

have

learnt.

Street-smart

people

can

learn

much

from

different

experiences

and

can solve practical

problems

easily.

They

are much

useful than book-smart people to some extent. As for me, there's no

clear

victor

in

the

battle

between

street-smart

people

and

book-smart

ones.

They

both

have

their

advantages,

and

our

society

require both. As a result, it's much better if we are both book smart

and street smart.

Topic 13: Due Attention Should Be Given to Spoken English

As

we

all

know,

spoken

English

plays

an

important

part

in

learning

English.

However,

more

and

more

students

pay

less

attention to spoken English nowadays.

There

are

two

main

reasons

for

this

phenomenon.

First,

students

would

rather

pay

more

attention

to

written

English

than

spoken

English

because

of

pressure

of

exams.

In

order

to

enter

a

better

school,

students

take

efforts

to

improve

their

grades

in

examinations. As for English, exams mainly focus on the written part.

Therefore, written English becomes

students'

priority.

Furthermore,

many students lack courage to speak English. Being afraid of making

mistakes and thus losing face, many students dare not speak English

in

public.

In

order

to

change

this

situation,

the

educational

system

should

be

reformed

to

keep

a

balance between

written

English

and

spoken English, and schools should pay more attention to the latter.

And

most

importantly,

students

should

be

encouraged

to

make

mistakes

when

speaking

English.

If

they

are

self- confident,

their

spoken English is sure to improve.

Topic 14: Volunteering Activities

With the progress of society, the volunteer spirit has spread all

over the country. More and more people are willing to be volunteers

and take part in volunteering activities. Getting involved in volunteer

work

means

a

lot

to

our

society.

Firstly,

you

show

loving

care

to

others

when

you

are

doing

volunteer

work.

You

pass

love

and

civilization on to others with your volunteer work, and make others

feel that there are always people caring about them. This makes our

society

more

harmonious.

Secondly,

people

whom

you

help

may

be

influenced

by

your

good

deed

and

follow

your

lead.

As

a

result,

all

people may help and care about each other, which makes the world a

better

place

to

live

volunteer

work

is

so

meaningful,

we

should

call

on

more

people

to

take

part

in

volunteer

activities.

All

young people are supposed to have the volunteer spirit and be active

to do volunteer work.

Topic 15: Keep Connected with Parents

Many

parents

feel

confused

that,

once

upon

a

time,

their

kids

shared everything with them, but now they don't even look at them.

With

the

development

of

modern

society,

it

seems

that

more

and

more

children

aren't

willing

to

communicate

with

their

parents.

There are several reasons for this phenomenon. For one thing, many

kids

think

that

they

have

nothing

in

common

with

their

parents.

What parents chatter about is study, which makes them bored. Thus,

they prefer to communicate with friends. For another, they feel that

their

parents

don't

understand

them

at

all.

What

they

love

to

do

is

often against their parents' will and they can't get any support. ]As a

result,

the

generation

gap

between

parents

and

children

become

wider and wider. In order to change this situation, both parents and

children

should

work

together.

Parents

should

learn

to

be

a

good

listener

and

respect

their

children's

ideas,

whereas

children

should

keep connected with their parents actively.

Topic 16: My View on Knowledge Economy

Knowledge economy, which emphasizes knowledge and people

of talent, is gradually replacing the industrial economy and becoming

the

dominant

economic

form.

It

is

playing

a

more

and

more

important

role

in

our

economic

life

in

recent

years.

Knowledge

economy has fundamentally transformed our ways of work, business

and

education.

To

start

with,

with

the

development

of

knowledge

economy,

more

and

more

people

are

transformed

from

traditional

manufacturing industries to new fields such as the Internet and the

computer science area. Secondly, knowledge economy has given rise

to the boom of electronic commerce and online trade, so you can do

business

anytime

and

anywhere.

Besides,

people

have

to

keep

learning something new to adapt to this explosive knowledge society.

In

my

opinion,

we

should

insist

on

developing

knowledge

economy

and

make

efforts

to

educate

the

young

generation,

to

contribute to the progress of knowledge economy.

Topic 17: The Impact of the Internet on Education

As

Internet

application

is

becoming

wider

and

wider,

the

Internet

has

already

permeated

traditional

education

and

has
