1. Should We Help Strangers?
1. 有人认为帮助陌生人是一种美德;
2. 有人却认为帮助陌生人会给自己带来麻烦和危险; 3. 我认为…… 【范文】
Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of mankind. We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home. On the other hand, helping others can make us happy. We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a hand.
However, some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers. They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated. Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know. Moreover, there are times when we have physical limitations. For instance, we can’t swim but a girl is drowning, what should we do? If we are blind to that limitation, giving a hand would conversely take our life.
In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help those needed strangers. Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use our common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats. Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police.
2. Don’t Rely Too Much on Computers
1. 现在许多人越来越依赖电脑; 2. 过分依赖电脑会带来很多问题; 3. 我的看法 【范文1】
Do we rely too much on computers? Yes, we do. Almost everything we do and every aspect of our life is affected by modern technology with computers above all. We use computers in business, public services, education and entertainment.
However, over-reliance on computer may give rise to some problems. One is that people are more likely to make spelling mistakes when they have to handwrite something. Another is that people are so dependent on computers that they have lost the ability to think for themselves. If “the computer says XYZ”, then XYZ must be true. If you want to make yourself an idiot, just tell him “that is what the computer said”.
In my opinion, computers make our lives easier but we should never rely on them completely. These machines should be used as tool to aid work rather than the only tool. Otherwise, chaos can occur when suddenly our computers crash or what is worse, refuse to take our orders.
【范文2】
With the development of science and technology, computers have played an increasingly important role in our daily life. Computers make our life more
convenient. We can not only finish our essays online, but also buy some daily commodities and play games online.
However, it’s estimated that people spend more than three hours on surfing the internet. Now more and more people become weak and shortsighted. It is because they surf the Internet day and night but without rest. In addition, the reason why students rely on too much on computers is that they can find many reference materials online. So students become less independent in thinking for themselves now.
All in all, we can’t live without computer, but we should try to go out to do some exercise with our friends. What’s more, it is time for us to finish our assignments independently instead of finding the reference answer online.
3. TV Talent Show
1. 有人赞成电视选秀节目 2. 有人则反对 3. 我的观点
【范文1】Over the past couple of years, a variety of talent shows have emerged on TV channel across our nation, from Happy Girls to Super Boys and so forth. This type of entertainment programs is intensely popular, especially among youngsters. It has produces profound impacts on their studies and life. They believe that the TV talent show can change their fate. At least, they say, the program offers the opportunity to show and develop one’s talents.
On the contrary, a number of people hold negative attitude to TV talent shows. They maintain that The TV talent show today is like a fiver that has risen to its flood level. It misleads the youth and makes them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight. As a result, a great many students can’t calm down to study during the show’s season.
For my part, I believe that the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword and it is important for us to face it properly. For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to offer more stimulating and favorable shows. For another, the media ought to give people proper guidance and refrain from exaggerating the effects of the show. 【范文2】
Recently, there is a public discussion about TV talent show. ,because many TV stations have all kinds of TV talent shows, such as Super Boy, Dream of China and so on. TV talent show makes a profound influence on our day-to-day life.
Undoubtedly speaking, different people hold different attitudes toward TV talent show. On the one hand, a lot of people seem to think that TV talent show should be supported. The reason why they support it that it gives many people an opportunity to show their talent. And they will become famous for it in sometimes. On the other hand, others believe that TV talent show should be canceled, because many people insist that TV talent show is a speculation. It gives people a false impression that very person will be famous if they attend these shows. In addition, many young people idolize their idols.
From my perspective, we should pay more attention to the advantage of TV talent show. Meanwhile, we might take some measures to avoid some negative effects
of TV talent show.
4. Killing Time Indoors
1. 现在很多人业余时间喜欢“宅”在家里 2. 人们对这种做法有不同的看法 3. 我的看法 【范文】
Nowadays a growing number of people, especially the 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially during holidays. Some spend the majority of their time online chatting, blogging, shopping, dating or playing computer games. Some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen, day and night.
People’s opinions vary when it comes to this ways of killing time. A great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheaper, comfortable, and most importantly, very safe. Others, however, frown upon staying indoors for too long. They are worried that lack of physical exercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to people’s body and mind.
Personally, I don’t think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated. Instead, people in all ages, with their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to spend more time outdoors. The fresh air, the brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with other people, etc. are all good for people’s health, both physically and psychologically.
5. Restrict Mobile Phone in Library
1. 现在有不少人在图书馆的阅览区里使用手机 2. 这一现象可能带来的影响 3. 我的看法 【范文】
As the number of students who have mobile phones increases, various problems also rise, along with its popularity. One of the problems that have aroused students’ attention is the use of mobile phone in the reading room of library. And this phenomenon has become so common that you can always see someone using mobile phone whenever you go into the library.
There is no doubt that this behavior will have no good effect. On the one hand, students who use it can not concentrate on their own studies when they constantly send or receive messages. On the other hand, with the ringing of the phones and people’s talking over the phone, students around them may be distracted from their reading as well.
Therefore, the proper way of using mobile phones in the library must be emphasized. First of all, whenever you enter the library, turn your mobile phone into the mode of silence or vibration so as to avoid the disturbance of other students. Second, if you do need to make a call or send or receive messages, you’d better go out of the reading room or at least try to reduce the volume of your sound and your phone’s sound.
6. My Opinion on Micro-blog
1． 目前越来越多人开起了“微博” 2．“微博”会带来一些问题 3. 我的看法 【范文】
With the improvement of micro-blog services and the influence of some “star bloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, micro-blog is becoming an important way for people to express themselves and communicate with others. Now, more and more people start to use micro-blog services.
However, micro-blog might give rise to some problems as well. Some bloggers would express their thoughts and ideas by writing them down in the micro-blogs rather than communicate with their friends or family members. Day by day, blogs tend to draw people away from real life. What’s worse, lack of face-to-face communication with others might isolate bloggers from the society, which would do harm to their mental health.
In my view, micro-blog is a good platform for people to show their personal experiences and communicate with others. However, micro-bloggers should adjust the item and avoid spending the whole day on blogging. After all, sitting in front of the cold screen of computer for long does no good to their health, physically and mentally.
7. Celebrities as Products’ Spokespersons
1. 现在明星为产品代言的现象很普遍 2. 明星代言存在的一些问题 2. 我的看法 【范文】
In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars to be spokesperson for a wide variety of products. On the Internet, television, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings, you may find celebrities in the advertising posters.
There are some problems existing in celebrities’ endorsing products. In the first place, some stars may know nothing about the products but still accept the invitation as their spokesperson. To these stars, “Look before leap” is just a saying. In the second place, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities. They never care about consumers’ interests.
In my view, as spokespersons, celebrities represent the products. They should understand that the products they are endorsing concern their images and consumers’ interests. Therefore, before endorsing products, they should learn about the products as much as possible. Only by doing so, can they be trusted by their fans and protect the legal rights of general public.
8. Spam Message
1. 目前垃圾短信泛滥 2. 这种现象产生的原因 3. 如何解决这个问题
【范文】
With the increasing use of cell phones, spam messages have become a heated issue. According to a survey, on average, people receive about 40 pieces of spam message per month. Spam messages may disturb, confuse, or even threaten people at any time. Generally, there are two reasons for the spam epidemic. On the one hand, due to the fact that text message is a comparatively cheap channel. Many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or services. Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected. On the other hand, operators, holding lots of information on cell phone users, sell the importance information and make money out of it.
To solve the problem of spam message, relative authorities and professionals should make joint efforts. The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose users’ information. Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically. Should people act together, they will be free from the spam message.
9. Internet Slang
1） 近年来，网络语言在青少年中很流行； 2. 人们对这一现象的看法不同； 3. 我的看法是…… 【范文】
Internet slang such as CU (see you) and 3X (thanks), enjoy great popularity among teenagers nowadays. In fact, it has become so popular that many items now cross from computer-mediated communication to face-to-face communication. Some teenagers even use them in spoken communication as well as in essay writing.
People have different opinions towards this phenomenon. Some people say that the crossover is a brand new variety of language evolving and will enrich the language. But others disagree, saying that these new words, being short form for the existing, long-used phrase, don’t “enrich” anything; they just shorten it. Furthermore, even if the slang such as CU and 3X and becomes common in spoken English, their total effect on language will be trivial.
In my opinion, Internet slang has little effect on language in general, but will greatly influence individuals, especially teenagers’ language development. It is because overuse of Internet slang will lead to their poor writing, being lacks in spellings, grammar and proper punctuations. That will drastically reduce chances of employment after they graduate and seek jobs. So, for the sake of their future, teenagers had better refrain from Internet slang.
