雅思环境类论文题目

初三那一年

还是走吧，甩一甩头，在那夜凉如水的路口。那唱歌的少年已不在风中，

你还在怀念，那一片白衣飘飘的年代。

校园里的木棉花开了，带着新生的喜悦和耀眼的春的气息。让冬天掩埋得

太久，该是花开的时节了。辉在我身边若有所失地说。我莫名地对春天产生了

一种敬畏之情，四季中总有如此明媚的季节，可是我们的生命呢？能有几个这

样的春天？春天过后，我们将面临一次艰难的选择。黑色七月，我们的未来，

你究竟是怎样的呢？明年的今天，我们又将在哪里？木棉花在微风中轻轻的叹

息着

我们冲进教室的时候，上课铃刚响完。数学老师站在讲台前：快点，都什

么时候了，还有心情玩？我和辉尴尬的摸摸后脑勺，老师望着我们，无可奈何

的笑了。我坐在座位上望着黑板，却发现老师的嘴边都干的起了泡，可她还在

不停地说着定律、定理。恨不得把她知道的东西都喂进我们的嘴里，脸上是一

种和谁抢时间似的焦灼，老师也是用心良苦啊！我心里酸酸的。

初夏的清晨，走在那每天必经的路上，感觉有一种想飞的冲动和想笑的欲

望。在校门口，我遇到了鸿，我的同桌，一个让我想起来会微笑，忆起来会叹

息的人。喂，要迟到拉。我大呼。他回头看见是我，亲切的笑了笑。清晨第一

缕阳光洒在他白皙的脸上，发出一种金属般的光泽，很灿烂。他悠悠地走到我

身旁，一如当年那个从容不迫的男孩。志愿都填好了吗？这是我老早就想问他

的问题，我很想知道他想考哪里。我的志愿还未定下来，大概在潜意识里我一

直等他的志愿，那多半也是我的方向。

中考结束了，来的轰轰烈烈，又走的平平淡淡。跨过中考的门勘，才知道

这一步的份量。蓦然回首，有一种登高望远，无限风光在险峰的感觉。没能考

进心目中的高中，我深深地感到自责和遗憾。我失落的理想，我精神的家园，

我无数次睡着，醒着叫着的名字，无数次在漫漫长夜里激励我奋斗不息的名字，

就这样与我失之交臂。在人生这样一个路口，我感觉到一阵痛，难以名状又无

处不在。这是我第一次对自己的人生作出选择，而我将对我的选择负责任。

离别来得悄无声息却又理所当然。在刚刚懂得珍惜的年龄便要说离别，在

刚刚懂得会议的岁月便要道珍重

辉告诉我：茕茕白兔，东奔西顾。衣不如新，人不如故。泪水就这么轻易

的流下来，毫无防备

发展与环保

世界各国中，要想在国际中树立威望，就必须加大力度发展本国的经济。在工业的生产中，人们似乎忽略了环保这个事情，一心只想在经济利益中受益。你别以为你没有吃亏，你在经济中受到一份利益，就会在环保上吃一份亏。日积月累，吃亏的最后还是自己。

新中国成立后，中国工业突飞猛进，经济值年年提高很多，在国际中的地位也慢慢上升，可是环境的破坏程度也越来越大。所以说既要发展迅速，又要环保，就不得不走可持续发展道路。

既然是要走可持续发展道路，就必须按条理进行。不能先开发、后治理，必须以“防”为主，防治结合，综合治理；谁开发、谁保护，谁污染、谁治理。单单靠个人是无法达到预计目的的，也必须依靠群众的力量来保护环境。

让我们共同努力创造我们美好的生活吧！

不知道能否帮助你解决问题

我曾经以为“漠然”是由心底迸发的毫不在乎、冰冷无情，我也固执地把它与冷漠画上等号，并且自私地从其中列数出他的种种冷酷与无情，殊知这样看似无情的外表下，竟贮存这那样一棵温暖的心。

诚然，父爱看似漠然却毫不冷漠。

我也确实有个与一般孩子不一般的童年，没有可以骑在父亲脖子上采桑葚的欢笑；也没有与父亲一起河畔垂钓的怡然，在我的的印象中，他留给我的始终是个后背，都说催弦先生的《背影》写得极好，我却从不曾在我父亲的背影中读出些许柔情；也听崔京浩的父亲：“父亲是儿登天梯”，可始终不曾从他那儿寻到过一毕安慰。

随着年龄的增长，父爱的“匮乏”赵来赵令我不满，我努力做好功课，每次考试都考九十多分、一百分，只换他一句：“下次考好才是本事，”，我也曾故意调皮捣蛋，弄得老师带家长，希望引起他的注意，让他多关爱我，怎奈他什么话也不说，是一个劲冲老师点头，我逐渐从自以为以的“大爱无言”的走出来，再被父亲的那近乎“冷漠”的情感冰冻。

那日因为我找学习资料进了父亲的书房，从层层叠叠的书籍下拖出了一个似使用了多年的小木箱，虽显得破旧却纤尘不染，似乎父亲经常擦洗，好奇心作逐的我打开了木箱，那是一逢的奖状、照片、报纸……各类纸张上的主人公只有一个，那便是我，有六岁时他叠的小青蛙，有三年级时得的书法奖状，有十二岁那年儿童节作主持时用过的小领结……有最近“不翼而飞”的床头那张有我发表文章的报纸，有上次其中考试的成绩单，十九年的点点滴滴噢，在小小的木箱中展露无遗，我可以想像出父亲一人在灯下翻看这些奖着时嘴角露出的微笑，想像他是怎样一边满足的哼着小调，一边整理小木箱中东西的模样，我突然理解了父爱的含义。

也许全天下的父亲都是相似的，有着山一般巨大而深沉的爱，而这些爱，往往是隐藏在那些表面的无所事事，漠不关心的假象之下。

父亲的爱，从不挂在嘴上，“至爱无声”，几近漠然却如清清细流滋润我的胸怀；父爱无言，大善无声，虽看似平凡的冷漠更深处却 *** 如火，终生不渝。

我想唤您一声“爸”，不管是否依旧如以前那么淡然、无所谓的表情；我想努力学习，为你争脸，不管你是不是还是那么严厉地指责我的不尽之处，十多年的时间还算太长，我也终于明白，漠然不是冷漠，您的爱是我永久的太阳。

漠然相爱，寂静喜欢。

雅思写作话题十大分类之环境类

摘要： 马上就要过年了，为了让大家在新的一年能学习进步，我为大家带来的雅思写作话题十大分类之环境类以下内容，希望大家在过年休息的时候，能适当的调整学习时间，不但能好好的休息，也不要忘了好好学习，争取在年后能有一个全新的自己。

雅思 考生在备考 雅思写作 的过程中，需要对雅思写作的考题进行话题分类，并针对每类题目准备相应的解题方法和写作思路，积累不同话题的素材和词汇表达，进行限时训练，提高写作速度。

环境类

1. 环境和自然资源的保护

母题：Environmental problems are too big for individual countries and individual people to address. We have reached the stage where the only way to protect the environment is at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? (040228, 040515, 110507)

解题：采用让步的结构，承认题目观点及其合理性，不可否认，保护环境的确需要国际合作，第一，一些全球性和世界性的环境问题，如全球变暖，臭氧层空洞，石油泄漏和海洋污染等，不仅影响了单个国家，而且对整个地球的环境都造成了影响，因此需要多个国家共同努力来解决;第二，在保护环境的过程中，通过联合多个国家来采取行动，我们可以引进其他国家先进的技术和设备，更好的解决一些区域性的环境问题。但是，这并不就是说咱们可以忽略个人和单个国家的作用。国际合作、企业、 *** 、个人，都可以为环境保护做出自己的努力。进一步论证个人观点，拓展段落。

子题：个人不能保护环境，只有 *** 和大公司才能，同意吗?个人能不能保护环境?很多人知道环境保护很重要，但是自己却不采取任何行动，这是为什么?

母题：Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, are used in many countries. But in some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy, including wind and solar power, are encouraged. Is this trend a positive or a negative development? (090530)、

解题：这道题目问的是新型能源或可替代能源alternative energy的优缺点。优点：取之不尽用之不竭inexhaustible，可再生 renewable，更环保environmentally friendly，比较清洁干净clean;缺点：核能nuclear power可能会引发安全事故，核废料处理不易，水能hydropower会破坏生态环境upset the ecological balance, 太阳能solar power 蓄能困难，效率低，成本高，风能wind power不稳定，会产生次声波污染infrasonic wave等.

主题句

现如今，环境污染的问题越来越值得重视...什么的

It's no doubt that....不可否认的是

there is no doubt that....

without any doubt....

It's worth noticing that....值得注意的是

给出材料：比如说什么河上漂死一类的时事新闻 或者大家都知道的事情

It's well-known that....

It's reported that.... 据报道

It's evident that.....

污染的环境导致了什么：

It's lead to ..... (illness) 比如说坏环境也危害到了人类自身

.......等等等等.....

解决方法：

关于改变环境， *** ....

take solid steps to do sth

take effective measures to do sth.

人们需要怎么做..例如...提高环保意识

raise the public's awareness of.....

纯手打的！！！！！望采纳

一般来讲，环保类话题分为三种类型，分别为环境类，动物类及资源类。而这三种类型的题目都有一些母题。考生在准备期间就可以按照这些母题来准备，后面任何题目内容的转变都是万变不离其宗的。

首先你的词汇和语法都没什么问题

然后就是段落结构了

照你的意思就是totally disagree

我不知道如果以Disagree to a large extent为核心会不会比较好

因为完全否定Work of artist可能会有些吃亏

第二段你分析了艺术作品都是靠科技做出的器材或者材料

感觉上价值不大 因为不如去分析艺术作品的价值更好

第三段分析了马斯洛需求阶层

你的论点还是有些争议性的 比如精神需求为何就一定不如科技所带来的基础物质需求 也有不少人疏于物质而追求精神的 而科技的作用是可以贯穿所有阶层的

第四段讨论科技的作用

easing后需要个连词吧。。或者thanks改为due?

总的来说你的词汇语法都没什么问题 主要是注意逻辑上要严密些 选择更合理的论点

以上就是我的观点 要是觉得有用就采纳吧 呵呵

有几个连接词用得不对吧，拼写也有错误。

“individuals will surely not endeavor to harm the environment. By contrast, he will try every means to protect the environment.”

The behavior of individuals plays a significant role in environment protecting as well.

.......还有你的句子好碎，有的完全可以复合在一起的。

不过语言准确性还算不错，逻辑也算得上清晰。应该是7分左右的文章吧。

一般不会有什么奇怪的话题，都是常规的~这里有一份雅思资料 希望可以帮助你备考，加油！

五个万能雅思写作话题及遇到奇怪话题该怎么办今天洛阳大华雅思给大家分享五个万能雅思写作话题及遇到奇怪话题该怎么办。一、教育1、教育应该包括哪些内容?母题：It is generally believed that education is of vital importance to the development of individuals and the well-being of societies. What should education consist of to fulfil both these functions? (050312)提示：本题围绕教育的两大功能来展开(个人与社会)，准备好这篇文章，即可应付教育类话题中的最大分支—教育的功能，做到以不变应万变。对于社会角度，可以从促进经济发展、增加社会流动性(social mobility)、维护社会稳定这几个方面来展开，对于个人，可以写改变思维模式、有利于就业和便利生活来写。子题：大学应当教授理论知识还是实践技能?大学的是应当把学生培养成合格的公民还是让他们自己得益?准备未来职业最好的方法是上大学还是尽快离校积累工作经验?大学要不要扩招?中学阶段应当提供通才教育还是专才教育?要不要延长义务教育年限?要不要让农村地区的学生更容易上学?老师要教学生如何判断是非吗?2、学校的科目谁来选择?母题：Some people think that the government should decide which subjects students should study at the university, while others think that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer. Discuss the two views and give your opinion. (060916)提示：这类题目采取的策略就是“双批判”，因为题目中提供的两种选择往往都是错误的。子题1：政府选课or 老师选课?学生选择所有的科目or根据兴趣自行选择?子题2：只有学术科目重要，体育和音乐这样的课不重要，你同意吗?要不要学国际新闻?要不要学历史?要不要中学阶段就学习外语?要不要学数学哲学这类的科目?提示：子题2与母题联系不大，需要准备这些科目各自的优点。3、什么样的教学方式最好?母题：Many people use distance-learning programmes (study material post, TV, Internet, etc.) to study at home, but some people think that it cannot bring the benefit as much as attending college or university. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (041113, 081023, 100515)提示：远程教育最大的好处，就在于三个any：anybody, anywhere, any time. 缺点是缺乏师生之间以及学生之间的interaction, 缺乏教师的moral guidance, 因为没有体育课且久坐电脑前，会引发健康问题。子题：私立学校好不好?留学好不好?要不要分快慢班?小组学习还是单独学习好?4、谁来为学费买单?母题：Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (100731)提示：这些话题都有一个共同的特征：高等教育只对学生自己有好处，因此学生应当自行为高等教育买单。这类题目的写法非常有规律，先驳斥这种理由，再交代学生自己支付学费的后果就可以了。子题：政府要为学生买单吗?(缺点是给政府带来经济负担，这类话题写法和其它政府类话题一样)5、孩子们要不要参加社会实践?母题：Some school leavers travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university. What are the advantages and disadvantages? (030308, 050514, 090926)提示：gap year好处就是各种能力的锻炼，缺点就是容易受到社会恶习的影响，误入歧途。子题：要不要参加无偿社会劳动?要不要毕业去农村锻炼?要不要从小远离父母居住?6、家庭教育母题：Some people say that children should obey the rules of their parents and teachers, while other people think children will not be well-prepared for their adult life if they are given too much control. Discuss in both sides and give your opinion. (041120, 100520)提示：写一下各自的好处就可以了，最后的结论是早年的时候要教授他们明辨是非，对于做错的事情要惩罚，但是也要适可而止让其兴趣爱好得到自由发展。子题：穷人家的孩子是否早当家?家长是否应该为五岁小孩的犯罪负责?要不要把小孩趁早送到学校去?老师对儿童的智力和社会发展所起的作用大于家长吗?同龄人压力(peer pressure)的利弊?二、生态环境、自然资源与动物保护1、动物需要保护吗?母题：Now many people think that we are spending too much money and time on protecting wild animals. The money should be better spent on human population. Do you agree or disagree? (031213, 110709)提示：这类题型采取驳斥的写法来写，先驳斥这是浪费钱，因为在动物上花的钱可以通过发展旅游业来得到补偿。然后再写动物保护的意义。子题：要不要进行动物实验?要不要把动物关在动物园里?要不要吃动物的肉?人们可以采取什么措施来保护珍稀的动植物物种?2、环境保护谁来负责?母题：Environmental problem is too big for individual countries and individual people to address. In other words, we have reached the stage where the only way to protect the environment is at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? (040228, 040515, 110507)提示：不管题目怎么出，永远记得国际合作、企业、政府、个人，都可以为环境保护做出自己的努力。所以，你要准备的内容，就是以上四个方面可以做的事情。子题：个人能不能保护环境?个人不能保护环境，只有政府大公司才能，同意吗?公司和个人，而不是政府，可以保护环境，同意吗?很多人知道环境保护很重要，但是自己却不采取任何行动，这是为什么?3、垃圾问题怎么办?母题：Many people say that we have developed into a “throw-away” culture, because we are filling up our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree with this opinion and what measures can you recommend reducing this problem? (050806)提示：这道题目应该围绕“一次性文化”产生的原因、后果和解决方法来展开。原因：对于方便、卫生的追求。后果：破坏水源、污染土地、污染空气。解决方法：三个R：reduce, reuse, recycle。子题：消费品的增加会导致自然环境的破坏，原因和解决方法是什么?4、自然资源如何保护?母题：Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, are used in many countries. But in some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy, including wind and solar power, are encouraged. Is this trend a positive or a negative development? (090530)、提示：这道题目问的是新能源alternative energy的优缺点。优点：取之不尽用之不竭inexhaustible，更环保environmentally-friendly, 缺点：核能nuclear power会引发安全事故，水能hydropower会破坏生态环境upset the ecological balance, 太阳能solar power 成本太高，风能wind power会产生次声波污染infrasonic wave.子题：淡水资源如何保护?是什么原因导致了石油、森林和淡水资源的紧张，如何解决?解决环境问题的最佳方法是提高石油的价格吗?(此题已被剑8收录)5、交通工具母题：One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a car uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (060325, 080405)提示：这道题目是经典老题，多次在雅思考试中出现。题目中的理由有明显的逻辑漏洞，因为飞机承载的乘客数量和行驶的距离要远大于汽车，因此先驳斥理由，再讲飞机被禁止的后果(旅游业，物流业将会遭到重创)就可以了。子题：汽车会带来哪些问题?廉价航空是否应当被推广?6、食品安全母题：Some people support the developments in agriculture such as factory farming and creations of new types of fruits and vegetables, while others oppose this view. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (080712)提示：工厂化农业factory farming提高了农产品的产量，但也祸害无穷。比如大规模喷洒化学肥料chemical fertiliser和农药pesticide，集中式养殖battery farming会侵害动物权利，也使得肉类安全受到威胁。转基因食品genetically modified food虽然改善了食物的品质和产量，但是破坏生态平衡，对人体健康构成潜在的威胁。子题：长距离运输(空运)食品的好坏，科技改变食品的好坏。注意：本题是一个边缘话题，不能完全归类到环保类下。比如长距离运输食品与全球化类话题可以结合，科技改善食品可以与科技类话题结合。三、科技与发明1、现代通讯科技母题1：People can perform everyday tasks, such as shopping and banking as well as business transactions, without meeting other people face-to-face. What are the effects of this on individuals and society as a whole? (050226, 070331)提示：这道题目是经典的科技类话题，因为这道“无脸化交易”的题目浓缩了网络购物、电视购物、网络银行，ATM自助银行、手机银行、电话会议、视频会议等多种话题，是大家必写的话题之一。母题2：Many employees may work at home with the modern technology. Some people claim that it can benefit only the workers, not the employers. Do you agree or disagree? (050716, 091212)提示：“远程上班”telecommute也是一个重点话题，对于员工和雇主当然都有好处。2、现代媒体(电视、电脑、手机)母题1： Some people believe that time spent on television, video and computer games can be valuable for children. Others believe this has negative effects on a child. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. (080110)提示：这道话题涵盖了电视、视频和电脑游戏的好处与坏处，可以多练习。母题2：There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones? (060114)提示：这道题目是手机类话题的经典题目，从社会、健康、科技三个角度来展开，范围很广。子题：要不要鼓励儿童看电视?看电视和玩游戏对小孩、家庭和社会有什么影响，怎样解决?电脑不能帮助儿童学习，只会造成身心伤害，你同意吗?如何鼓励老年人使用手机和电脑?手机对于个人和社会的好处与坏处是什么?3、替代类话题母题：Some people think that the government should establish free libraries in each town. Others believe that it is a waste of money since people can access the Internet at home to obtain information. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. (120112)提示：这道题目入选母题是因为它结合了科技、文化和政府三大话题，非常值得一练。不过考虑到2012年1月12日刚刚考过，最近几个月再考的概率不会很大了。子题：图书馆要不要提供高科技媒体诸如电脑软件和DVD?网络是否会取代博物馆和美术馆?手机和电脑正在逐渐取代书信，你同意吗?机器(机器人)取代人类工作，利弊如何?网络教育是否会取代传统课堂?(提示：这部分话题与教育类话题结合，已被归入教育类)4、其它科技话题(与社会、生活类话题结合)题目：飞机旅行只对富人有好处吗?现代科技使人们失去创造力吗?科技发展造成负面影响了吗?科技发展是否拉大了贫富差距?早起的科技是否比现在的科技影响更大?科技改变了人们之间的关系了吗?科技造成环境污染/使我们的生活变得更加复杂，我们是否要告别科技，过简单的生活?提示：对于拉大贫富差距这个话题，可以网上搜索一下digital divide这个关键词。四、媒体与广告1、新闻与媒体母题：News media is more influential nowadays. Some people think it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (090822)提示：之所以选择这道题目做母题是因为它涵盖的范围最广，可以写报纸、电视、网络。围绕这些媒体的好处和坏处写一篇文章，顺便思考一下下面的几道子题，那么这部分的话题就可以搞定了。子题：报纸要比其它媒体更有影响力，你同意吗?网上的信息不准确，你同意吗?我们是否应该相信记者，一个合格的记者应当具备什么样的品质?2、媒体审查制度母题：Nowadays, films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people think those films and games have negative effects on society and should be banned, while others think they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (111029)提示：这道题目正好概括了媒体审查制度赞成者和反对者的观点。好处是对避免青少年的模仿，降低社会暴力，坏处是破坏了影片的娱乐性，对于新闻的审查则侵犯了人们的知情权和媒体的言论自由。子题：政府应该控制电影和电视中的暴力来降低社会中的犯罪，你同意吗?要不要严格控制媒体对于犯罪细节的报道?电视节目向公众展现灾难性的画面对个人和社会有何影响?3、广告母题：We are surrounded by all kinds of advertising, which significantly influence our lives. Do the positive effects of advertising outweigh its negative effects? (041016, 110625)提示：这道题目是广告类话题中最经典的，因为这道题目的范围最广。这道题目写成双边，好处是给消费者提供信息，促进经济发展，带动就业，坏处是欺误导消费者，误导儿童模仿，扰乱生活。子题：广告是否会扼杀个性，使人们看起来都一样?针对儿童的广告有何利弊?针对儿童的广告是否应当被禁止?广告应当被禁止，因为它只有坏处没有好处，你是否同意?五、政府与城市化1、个人与政府母题：Some people say that it is the responsibility of individuals to save money for their own care after they retire. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (070825)提示：关于政府与个人这类话题，肯定是些政府和个人都应当分担责任。子题：政府要不要为个人的医疗和健康买单?个人不要向国家缴税，你同意吗?公民除了纳税以外还有别的方法来尽社会责任吗?捐助是应该直接捐助给当地社区，还是给国家和国际性慈善组织?人们是否只应当关心当地和本国的人，而不是整个世界的人?2、政府应当投资吗?母题：Some people say arts such as music and painting cannot directly improve the quality of people’s life, so the government shouldn’t put money on art such as music and painting, instead, they should spend more money on construction of public services. Do you agree or disagree? (040626, 041127, 070920, 110611)提示：政府投资类的话题几乎全都是交叉类话题，分别与教育(谁应该为学费买单)、艺术、科技、健康等话题结合。这类题目的写法大同小异，好处就是围绕各自的交叉来写，如促进教育、艺术、科技的发展，促进公民的健康，等等，而坏处都是一样的：浪费政府的有限的财政lavish the tight budget of the government，或者说给政府造成了沉重的经济负担impose a heavy financial burden on the government.子题：政府不应当投资修建剧院、体育馆，而是医疗和教育，你同意吗?艺术家应该是政府资助，还是其他来源资助?政府应当资助本土电影吗?科学研究应该被政府而不是小公司来进行，你同意吗?体育队应该由政府还是非政府来源来赞助?个人健康是否应当由非营利性公司来运营?政府应当投资修建道路吗?举办奥运会的利与弊?

Environmental problems are so big that they cannot be solved by any person or country alone. Instead, it should be solved at international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? Environmental degradation has been recognized as one of the main challenges that we have to overcome in the 21st century. The rapid deterioration of environmental problems is believed to have posed a serious threat to our survival. To address this concern, countries worldwide should join forces, instead of working individually for their own target. People support international cooperation for two reasons. The first point is the impact of environmental problem is normally on a global scale. It is common knowledge that we share the same biosphere, its components are interrelated. For example, a stream in one country can be polluted by the sewage dumped by its neighboring country. In other words, one country’s effort to reduce pollution can be futile if other countries are not involved. It should also noted that some countries do not have adequate resources to reduce pollution, even though these countries realize the importance of environmental protection. These countries can cooperate with developed countries, introduce technologies and draw on experiences so as to implement environmentally friendly policies continuously. Despite the importance of international cooperation, countries should take the initiative to implement some changes. It is fair to say that countries are confronted with different environmental problem. For example, greenhouse gas emissions in China are mainly created by the electricity generation industries while in the United States are primarily attributed to the increase in car use. The technologies and methods that are globally applicable may not be effective in some addition, countries should enforce some environmental laws and raise citizens’ awareness so as to restore the environment. To summaries, countries should make a join effort not only because the ecosystem is a unified mechanism but also because it can make optimal use of financial and human resources. Country’s resource commitment is also important at regional or national level. In some countries, it is possible for people to buy products made in other countries. To what extent do the benefits of this development outweigh the problems? As the world is increasingly globalised, the exchange of commodities across the border is proceeding at an astounding rate. It has sparked controversy over whether the increase in imports has adverse impacts. From my point of view, this practice’s advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Importing goods can yield a number of benefits. The first benefit is that despite the high cost of transportation, imports are competitively priced. The main reason is that the countries that export these goods normally have technology and professional knowledge to ensure the goods’ quality and affordability. For example, China specialises in the production of textile products so China-made textile products are cheaper than local counterparts in many parts of the world. Besides, imported goods have challenged domestic manufacturers’ dominance and intensified competition, thereby prompting these manufacturers to lower product prices. It is beneficial to domestic customers, because products are more affordable and the cost of living will decline. On the other hand, the downside of importing goods is that the excessive reliance on imports is likely to lead to the underdevelopment of some domestic industries. For instance, many countries import computers, resulting in domestic manufactures’ bankruptcy. This is harmful to the development of a self-contained economy, and also likely to trigger massive job cuts. Another problem is that transportation may create considerable pollution, especially when it involves air freight. It will degrade air quality and also lead to other environment issues, such as global warming. It is therefore reasonable to think that the advantages of importing of commodities should be accepted with caution. Although customers are able to acquire commodities at lower cost, countries also need to pay attention to the development of their respective industries. Some people believe that charities should give aid to those who need the aid most, wherever they live. Some people believe that charity organisations would better concentrate on people in their own countries instead. Discuss both views and give your own pinion. Concern about humanitarian has been heightened in recent years. Although international aid illustrates a moral ideal of mankind, many people who hold the opposing views think that the welfare of fellow citizens is the priority. International aid has its weaknesses but its importance should not be denied. The main reason why international donation agencies should view international aid from a global perspectives is that their funds can help the citizens of those recipient countries to combat poverty, disease and inequality. We should recognise that citizens of developing countries are in desperate need of aid, because they are susceptible to natural or man-made disasters such as wars. In those war-ton or poverty-stricken countries, resources are extremely scarce, which demand for food, medicine, tents and shelters. Despite the importance of helping those beyond our national borders, it is reasonable to lend a hand to our fellow citizens. Even in the richest countries, there are some disadvantaged people whose needs for daily necessities are not met. If we can solve problems on our doorstep, low income people can have basic living standards and this is beneficial to social stability. From my personal perspective, humanitarian action can restore some of their basic rights, such as the right to receive education, in recipient countries. This is consistent with the universal principle of supporting vulnerable populations. Those who cannot provide financial support can work as aid workers and deliver services to those needy people. To summaries, we should realise the implications of international aid to those who are affected by disasters, poverty and misfortunes. We can deliver aid to other countries to show compassion, although helping local beneficiaries is important. The tourist industry has been expanding in some countries and international tourism has benefited these countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In recent decades, tourism has become an important industry and has brought unprecedented opportunities to these countries. However, the impact of tourism on these countries remains a source of constant debate. The essay will elaborate on both positive and negative impacts of tourism. The implications of tourism for some countries are two fold. First of all, it should be recognised that the development of tourism stimulates economic growth by generating enormous employment opportunities and increasing foreign exchange earnings. This benefit is particularly valuable to those impoverished countries, whose citizens are jobless, malnourished and ill-housed. Tourism provides a driving force for the development of various industries such as hospitality, transportation, communications, retail sales and manufacture, which require substantial capital investments. Without the revenues created by tourism, these industries are not likely to develop and the economic growth will be sluggish. Furthermore, tourism provides economic incentives for cultural preservation, because some places of cultural importance,., historical sites,remain the most popular who express concerns about the negative effect of tourism should realise that tourism revenues can be used to protect cultural or historical heritage and also the local landscape. On the negative side, environmental destruction is one problem that arises from international tourism. The construction of infrastructure and tourism facilities(including airports, roads,hotels and resorts) will destroy environmental resources. Another problem associated with tourism is that it can threaten the local culture. The arrival of tourists can disrupt the life of local people, who abandon their traditional livelihoods and start to work in the tourism industry. It is also true that in many places, local people do not embrace tourism with open arms. Due to a lack of understanding of local customs, tourists might display some impolite or even offensive behaviour, which can lead to local people’s unhappiness or hostility. In the light of these facts, we can come to the conclusion that tourism can help some countries reap benefits although these countries may have to accept social and environmental costs. These countries should promote culturally appropriate activities and require tourists to show respect for the local life, traditions and natural scenery. English has become a universal language. Do you think that the positive effects of the trend outweigh negative effects? At the present time, the role of English as a global language is indispensable, but it is worth mentioning that the prevalence of English worldwide might have its negative effect. In my opinion, English’s dominance can be viewed in a positive light. It is unquestionable that the extensive use of English worldwide helps promote international cooperation, as language constitutes the biggest barrier to people’s communication in the global setting. For example, if a company’s financial statements are written in English, any investor who has a good command of English is able to read this company’s documents and understand this company’s operation, whether or not English is their first language. That’s why English has been recognised as the main language by many international conferences and academic groups. Around 80 per cent of websites in the world present their information in English. It would be no exaggeration to say that those who do not speak English find it difficult to survive in the global community. By contrast, people who have proficiency in two languages( English plus their native language) can easily find jobs, collect information and travel overseas. Despite the contribution of the English language to globalisation, it is considered the main culprit of the loss of language diversity. The idea lies in the fact that many English learners, such as those who move to English-speaking countries, speak their native language less frequently. It should also be noted that English, as the favorite language for international media, conveys English-speaking countries’ lifestyles, values and beliefs to different parts of the world. It might affect the world’s cultural diversify. In spite of this, I am convinced that English is able to bridge the language gap and introduce minority cultures to the world, thereby protecting these cultures. In conclusion, English plays a vital role in communication and cooperation among people from different countries. Although some people suspect that English will endanger some minority languages. This claim is not supported with evidence. The reality is that English sometimes assists us protecting cultural heritage. Many countries spend a lot of money in art. Some people think investment in art is necessary, but others say money is better spent public services and facilities. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Government sponsorship for arts is a controversial issue, especially when the state is confronted with budget problems. There who object to public funds for arts believe that money should be diverted to the construction of public facilities. I am of the opinion that the government should take citizens’ benefits into consideration and adjust the spending on art or infrastructures accordingly. It is important to realise that art is an essential component of cultural legacy, so the protection and development of art has important implications to cultural diversity. In terms of painting, for example, styles, genres, tools and materials differ from culture to culture. An art form is likely to disappear, if it is not well protected. Despite the importance of art, public facilities deserve more of government spending than art. Citizens are interested in the availability of public facilities, such as water and electricity supply, schools, libraries and roads, which have a direct impact on their daily lives. By contrast, for most people, sculptures, paintings or operas are luxury items, which cannot bring tangible benefit to them. Therefore, it is pointless to support the use of public funds for this purpose, if basic facilities are underfunded and ill-equipped to meet public needs. I personally think that the arts should get public money, because it boosts the appeal of the built environment, reflected in the diversity of architecture and landscaping. If we are exposed to visually attractive objects everyday, we can enjoy peace of mind and feel an increased level of satisfaction with life. People will be less likely to commit violent or anti-social behaviors, and this is beneficial to community cohesion. In the light of the facts outlined above, government investment in the arts is essential to cultural diversity and the visual appeal of the built environment. However, in those countries whose infrastructure is inadequate, spending cuts on the arts are justifiable. Instead of asking the government to bear the cost of higher education, students should pay tuition fees themselves. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? The government has long been the major founder of university education. Those people who support government spending on education think that some students do not enroll because of learning costs. My view is that students’ personal situations should be considered, before the government decides whether to offer free education. It is worth noting that university education is the key to bridging the income gap. There are numerous students, especially those from low income families, who cannot afford educational expenses. For example, students who study architecture or medical science may spend many years in the university, which is an expensive choice for them. Because of financial constraints, people of low socio-economic status are at a disadvantage in terms of educational opportunities and career development. If the government provides free access to education, children from disadvantaged backgrounds can get into the college and find decent jobs in can close the social divide and create a prosperous country. Even though government sponsorship can inspire people to receive tertiary education, it can also cause the waste of public resources. Free education may be a reason why many students are reluctant to complete their courses and enter the workforce at the earliest date. It not only imposes a burden on the country but also affects state funding for other sectors(., primary and secondary education). Another problem is that, because of financial pressures, universities cannot upgrade facilities and recruit well-qualified lecturers, which can have a negative impact on students’ academic achievement. To summarise, government should provide financial support according to students’ needs to ensure that they have access to education. However, tuition fees are applicable to most students, especially those from middle to high income families, as it helps maintain the quality of tertiary education. Some people say that the government should ensure that people lead a healthy life, while others believe that individuals should have their own choices. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Healthy lifestyle is very important because it relevant to dignity and happiness. It is suggested that people are unlikely to adopt healthy lifestyle, unless the government takes some actions. My view is that lifestyle should be decided by people themselves, despite the importance of the government’s guidance and intervention. It is reasonable to argue that if people can choose their lifestyles freely, it reflects the respect for basic human rights. People who are obsessed with how to comply with government regulations will live under tremendous pressure. Although people are encouraged to eat vegetables and adopt a balanced diet, it does not mean that laws should specify the proportion of vegetables in diet. It not only poses a threat to their health, but also causes their resentment against the government. On the other hand, it is important for the government to impose restrictions on some habits, especially those that are widely believed to be damaging. This is due to the fact that most people have difficulty in disciplining themselves and cannot refrain from some unhealthy habits. For example, it is common knowledge smoking is harmful to people’s health but many people have problems ceasing smoking. The consequence is that their behaviour not only damage their own health but also has an adverse effect on others. Their reliance on medical care leads to overconsumption of resources and a higher demand for the use of taxpayers’ money; this is unfair to those who follow healthy habits. Overall, I believe that one’s freedom to choose lifestyles should be protected provided that it dose not interfere with other people. The primary role of the government is to provide information rather than to regulate citizens’ behaviour. This is important especially when citizens do not realise the health consequences of their habits and their problems can put pressure on the health service. The society is based on rules and laws. The society would not function well if individuals were free to do whatever they want. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Laws refer to the rules imposed on human beings. Although the laws is important in regulating people’s behaviour, many people argue that it restricts individuals’ freedom. I think that it is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functions of law in society and its demerits. It is an undeniable fact that the law informs citizens of the rules that are recognized by the whole society. The essential point of formulating laws is that laws can prevent one from engaging in actions that are harmful to other people. Anybody who fails to comply with laws will be punished, so the law helps establish a harmonious society. For example, people may commit robberies and murder because of jealous, greed and hatred. If these actions were accepted on the grounds of personal choice, it would be detrimental to other people’s interest. It is also true that many ethical standards, such as those standards that emphasis honesty, loyalty and compassion, enhance social cohesion. Nevertheless, laws sometimes inevitably infringe upon human’s freedom and even hamper social development. For instance, if one country has many limits on the business world, the business activity will not be active. High income earners who are subject income tax rates may lack motivation to make greater efforts to increase their income. It is also the case that in a society where personal freedoms, such as the freedom of speech are limited, it is impossible to have different voices heard and solve problem efficiently. It is reasonable to conclude that society cannot operate well without laws and rules. Even though the law does not allow people to act at will, the main purpose is to create a society where people can live in harmony.
