1、精品資料1.題目:Children who grow up in families which are short of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children who are brought up by wealthyparents.To what extent do you agree or disagree?參照范文:Some feel that the children of low income families are better equipped to dea
2、l with difficulties posed by the “real world” when they grow up and they also believe the privileged children of wealthy families are less fit to deal with these difficulties.The implications and veracity of this argument seem self-evident,but in fact require closer examination.The popular wisdom is
3、 that children of poorer families learn early on the value of a buck ,and are thus naturally better suited to stretching money when times get tough in adulthood. Inversely, the children of wealthy families,thoseborn with a silver spoon in their mouths,are believed to be completely ignorant of the te
4、ntimes erroneously expecting the same situation in adulthood.They are believed to be prone to overspending and financial irresponsibility. This belief,though logical,overlooks one key point which is,of course,education.The basis of this argument is,of course,knowing the value of money ,and the idea
5、that children of the poor know this,and those of the wealthy do not.Who though,is in a better positionto teach their children the value of money,someone skilled in earning and keeping it,the wealthy parent,or someone who can not seem to acquire it,the poor parent? Both wealthy and poor children are
6、equally likely to acquire an education in money,whether it is formal,or in the school of hard knocks. Conversely, both children are as likely to ignore this education.A poor child may believe that one can get along,if not as easily,without wealthy.A wealthy child may be well trained by a parent stee
7、pedin the knowledge of money management,the key to developing this skill is education.2.Everyone complains about taxes, yet think about what would happen if there were no longer an income tax. In a 250-word essay, discuss the positive effects of an income tax, the negative effects, or both.It hurts
8、to look at a paycheck and see how much of it was taken out for income tax. That money could have paid some important bills. It is easy to dream of doing away with the income tax and keeping all that money for ourselves.If there were no income tax, however, the government would have a lot less to spe
9、nd. The money we send to Washington seems to fall into a black hole and disappear. Actually, though, many people depend on it. The money pays the salaries of government employees, who provide services from drug control to highway building. It supports our military defense. Also, much of the money is
10、 returned to people in the form. of student loans, veterans benefits, and payments to farmers, for example. The government has been working to cut its budget lately. With every cut, someone complains loudly.So if the income tax were eliminated, other taxes would have to make up for it. Paying those
11、other taxes would also hurt. Sales taxes fall most heavily on poor people. Taxes on manufacturers only result in higher prices to consumers.Income taxes are not fun to pay. But doing without them would be worse. In my opinion, income taxes should be made as fair as possible. Then we each must bite t
12、he bullet and do our share.3. Nowadays there is more and more TV advertisement, and there is a lot of misinformation in some of these advertisements. Some people think that consumers have the right to know the correct information and that government should restrict the contents of these advertisemen
13、ts. What is your opinion?No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements and advertising exerts a tremendous influence on us. Recently, there are people who are of the opinion that public has the right to know the correct information of the advertisements and government also should restrict the
14、contents of these advertisements. Personally I agree with this opinion for the following reasons.In the first instance, consumers have the right to know the correct information before deciding on whether to buy them. Advertisements are highly information that helps people to make choice before they
15、go to buy what they need. If the advertisement exaggerates the products it also will persuade people into buying things, which they dont really want.Secondly, any misleading advertisements will lead to the marketing tricks, causing chaos in the market. Too many misleading advertisements are barrio t
16、o distinguishing between decent products or products of bad quality. His bread in truth is made with soy flour, while he advertises it as white bread. These misleading information causes illegal competition.Last but not least, government should stipulate laws in consumers interests. According to the
17、 laws, advertisements must be truthful. If the advertisements mislead consumers, government can impose great fine on them to set a lesson.In general, the role of advertisements is inevitable and undeniable. A good advertisement can be a bridge between business and consumers and helps keep business m
18、oving. So we need correct information and government also needs to restrict the contents of advertisements. Let misinformation of advertisements be far away from us.4. Most people have dreams of one day becoming rich. But does the average person have the ability to make a lot of money? Think about t
19、his question. Then write about 250 words describing your thoughts.When lack of money prevents us from having something we want very much, it is tempting to dream of being rich. It is hard to keep in mind that Americans are already wealthy compared with people in many other parts of the world. Our mo
20、dern conveniences would have been the envy of kings in times past. Just the same, most people would like a larger. Whether most people are capable of making a lot of money is another question.People in average circumstances can often get ahead through education, hard work, and careful money manageme
21、nt. But getting ahead is not the same as actually becoming rich.Only a small percentage of Americans could be called truly wealthy. Some people joined this group from ordinary beginnings. Usually they have done it by carefully riding some major development in the economy on its way up. In the past,
22、great fortunes have been made in oil, steel, and railroads. Recently, some people have made millions in computers and real estate.Usually, though, it takes money to make money. Big investors often start rich and then get richer. Most of us cannot strike oil or start the next new technical breakthrou
23、gh. Most people are not born into wealthy families, either. In America it certainly is possible to become more prosperous. But unless someone wins the lottery, real wealth is not very likely to come along.5. Surveys show that more people get the news by watching television than by reading the newspa
24、per. Think about whether TV news shows are adequate as a persons only source of news. Write an essay of about 250 words that details your thoughts.Television news shows are dramatic and interesting. Watching them is pleasant and does not require the effort of reading. If television did not cover the
25、 news, some people would know nothing about what is going on in the world.However, television newscasters cover only the events that they have time for, and they prefer stories that include some dramatic pictures. Viewers are quickly bored with reporters who sit and talk into the camera. As a result
26、, a complicated story is often cut short.Newspapers and magazines do a better job of explaining complex events. They can include details, and a person with a special interest can take the time to read them. Others can stick to the headlines.Reading allows more freedom of choice than television. The
27、TV audience cannot decide which stories to watch. In broadcasting, one size fits all. However, a person who reads newspapers and magazines can choose to spend time on business, sports, health, or the school board election, depending on special interests.Television provides a useful glance at whats h
28、appening. However, a person who has individual interests and who wants the whole story needs newspapers and magazines as well.6. For many years the nuclear family, consisting of father, mother, and children, was considered to be the normal family pattern in Chinas society. Yet in many other cultures
29、 and in our own in the past, three generations-grandparents, parents, and children-often have lived together. What are the advantages and disadvantages of three generations living together? Give specific examples in a 250-word essay.Three generations living together can have both financial and perso
30、nal advantages. On the other hand, it can also have personal disadvantages.In years past and today, three generations have probably lived together mostly out of economic necessity or advantage. Sometimes a young family moves in with the older generation because the husband and wife cant afford a pla
31、ce of their own. Sometimes grandparents move in because they arent well enough or cant afford to live alone anymore. Occasionally, grandparents come to take care of the children so both parents can work. In times past, and sometimes today, three generations have lived together because they all depen
32、ded on the same farm or business.Usually these arrangements do help solve financial and practical problems. Everyone has a roof over his or her head. Children and old people in need of care are likely to get it. Often a family can get ahead financially by sharing the work and the bills. In addition,
33、 a strong sense of family and of belonging can develop in everyone.What may be harder to work out are questions of whos in charge. If grandparents dont let go of some authority, the middle generation is likely to resent it. On the other hand, ailing grandparents may force their children to be parent
34、s to them and to their own children as well. If parents and grandparents disagree on discipline, children may be confused or angry.The personal disadvantages can be overcome. For three generations to live together successfully, everyones needs must be respected.7. Sports are very popular in todays s
35、ociety. Some people believe, Winning is the only thing. Others believe, “Its not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. Is there a way in sports in which both opponents could win a game? Lose a game? Detail your thoughts on this issue in an essay of about 250 words.Sports include both n
36、ational teams and the teams for the rest of us. The national teams are mainly concerned with winning and with money. The other teams are mainly concerned with winning and with money. The other teams provide different satisfactions.Being on a team helps people learn teamwork - to rely on others and t
37、o do their own part as well. Players learn both to win and to lose. When the team loses, the members learn that they can come back from a loss. They look for the reasons they were beaten, work on their weaknesses, and try again. When the team wins, the members can learn to be gracious winners and go
38、od sports.Sports are also for play. Most of us have work to do most of the time. Now and then we need to have fun. Sports can provide the time to relax.If a team helps people learn to work together, lose win, and have fun, its a winner regardless of the score. But if players on a winning team have n
39、ot worked together, if they feel that winning makes them better than others, if there was no joy in the sport, those winners are losers.Having the winning score is important. Being a winner as a person is worth even more. As a convincing maxim of friendship first and competition second suggests, we
40、should adhere to equivalence of wining and losing.8. Some people live in one community in their entire lives, others move at least once; some quite often. Compare and contrast moving to different parts of the country versus living in one community in your entire life. Write about 250 words.Some peop
41、le live in one community all their lives, while others move around almost as much as nomads. Both experiences have their advantages and disadvantages.People who stay in one spot can develop lifelong friendships, and such friends may lend a hand if trouble comes. They know each others life history, a
42、nd they judge each other for the kind of person each is, not for the image each projects.Yet spending a lifetime in one location can also lock a person into a limited way of life. Personal change may become very difficult. People with few experiences may develop a narrow outlook and find it hard to
43、understand those who have different ethnic, racial, or religious backgrounds.On the other hand, moving to different parts of the country is usually stressful. A person may feel lost and uprooted in a place where streets, stores, schools, and churches all are different. At first there are no friends
44、to help.However, those who do move learn that people in other places have a variety of outlooks. There is a chance to appreciate different ways of life and even to choose the way one likes best.For a person who moves to a different place year after year, the disadvantages of moving probably outweigh
45、 the advantages. But a few moves are probably worth the effort. By staying in each place for a length of time, people can broaden their outlook but have enough time to make adjustment and form. friendships.9. Materialism means placing great importance on material things such as clothes, property, an
46、d furniture. Many people complain that modern society is too materialistic. Are people in these times “what they own “or “what they are “? Explain your thoughts on the matter in an essay of about 250 words.Many people complain that modern society is too materialistic. Other people, they say, place t
47、oo great an importance on material property. Rather than value values, these critics insist, people today value things.There is no doubt that we live in a material, consumer-oriented society. In economic terms, consumers use products; in everyday language, they acquire things: TVs, cars, clothes, fu
48、rniture. This kind of materialism can actually be good for a society since it helps create jobs. When people have jobs, they acquire self-respect along with the money they need to provide the material things they and their families require.It is true, on the other hand, that many people have taken h
49、ealthy consumerism too far. Materialism is evident when an otherwise intelligent person goes into debt charging things that he or she cannot pay for. Materialism is evident when people insist on buying a particular designer label even though the same quality can be found in a cheaper product. Materi
50、alism is evident when people are judged and admired for what they own rather than what they are or can do.Even if society has gone too far in the direction of materialism, as some say, the individual person doesnt need to surrender. He or she can still value honesty, integrity, freedom, talent, qual
51、ity, and all the other values there are to value and leave the materialism to others.10. 中國人寫旳雅思作文有構(gòu)造但語言不夠地道;外國人寫旳文章夠地道,但又不符合雅思旳原則,因此,市面上總找不到“完美”旳雅思例文。如今,這里有一篇研究和專家雅思旳美國教師寫旳一篇雅思作文范文,人們不妨來學(xué)習(xí)分享一下。 Children who grow up in families which are short of money are better prepared to deal with the problems o
52、f adult life than children who are brought up by wealthy parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Some feel that the children of low income families are better equipped to deal with difficulties posed by thereal worldwhen they grow up and they also believe the privileged children of wealthy
53、 families are less fit to deal with these difficulties . The implications and veracity of this argument seem self-evident, but in fact require closer examination. 點評:1+ 1 模式,即最后 1 句為主題句。此段旳主題句稍微有點特殊,它旳確否認了前面所提到旳觀點,從而體現(xiàn)出了自己旳觀點,此外還引出了下文。特別是最后半句,感覺是在拋磚引玉。 The popular wisdom is that children of poorer f
54、amilies learn early on the value of a buck, and are thus naturally better suited to stretching money when times get tough in adulthood. Inversely, the children of wealthy families, thoseborn with a silver spoon in their mouths, are believed to be completely ignorant of the value of money, hxdying ha
55、d everything provided for them in their youth and oftentimes erroneously expecting the same situation in adulthood. They are believed to be prone to overspending and financial irresponsibility. This belief, though logical, overlooks one key point which is , of course, education. 點評: 1 +3 模式,第 1 句是主題
56、句。從此段旳內(nèi)容來看,這是個讓步段(即分析自己并不贊成旳觀點)。雖然 4 段論旳作文旳主體段是兩面討論,但是本人還是喜歡這樣旳寫作,即主體段旳觀點還是有側(cè)重旳,把讓步段放在前面,最后一句話引出下一段,這樣過渡很自然,并且自己旳觀點也比較明確。s of this argument is, of course, knowing the value of money, and the idea that children of the poor know this, and those of the wealthy do not . Who though, is in a better positi
57、on to teach their children the value of money; someone skilled in earning and keeping it, the wealthy parent, or someone who can not seem to acquire it, the poor parent? Both wealthy and poor children are equally likely to acquire an education in money, whether it is formal, or in the school of hard
58、 knocks. Conversely, both children are as likely to ignore this education. (101words) 點評:這段旳內(nèi)容感覺寫得不夠直接,還是在分析對方觀點旳漏洞。前面讓步段已經(jīng)這樣寫過了,那么這一段最佳是正面地論證自己旳觀點。此外,需要闡明旳是,作者旳內(nèi)容還是有一定深度,但是這是要有一定旳英語功底才行旳。如果英語功底不行旳話,建議內(nèi)容不要寫太深,由于那樣容易導(dǎo)致考官看不懂你在說什么。 A poor child may believe that one can get along, if not as easily, without wealth. A wealthy child may be well trained by a parent steeped in the knowledge of money management; the key to developing this skill is education. 點評:最后一段有點像是提出解決這個問題旳措施,即 education. 它沒有像老式旳結(jié)尾段那樣簡樸旳重申自己旳觀點。 總結(jié):作者很明顯是不贊成題目旳說法,但是作者自己是更偏向窮人家旳孩子呢,還是富人家旳孩子呢?根據(jù)文章來看,作者是中立,她所看重旳是她們所接
