范文四号:perception同学:Successful people take new things and risks rather than the thing that they've done well.
We often heard stories of successful people trying hard for new things and bear huge risk to earn a glorious victory. These stories are really impressive. But could we thus safely conclude that successful people take new things and risks rather than the thing that they've done well? I think it is arbitrary and hasty to say so.
In the fist place, any people who do their work well should be seen as successful people too.(根据你这个too,要先说一下可能大家认为的成功人士的形象) It is true sometimes we need to try new things and take risk to ensure the proceeding of the things we work on. An innovative idea and a brave attempt may be a requisite to achieve our goal. However, this by no means implies that the rest of our work, the daily and routine parts are inferior or insignificant to those exciting and breathtaking components. Anyhow, the majority of our daily lives and the order of the society depend on millions of people who do things they have done well. For example, train and bus drivers never drive on new paths or take risks as they please, but they timely and safely carry millions of people to different parts of the city and the country day and night. Employees in the running water companies seldom try new things or take risks when they produce water for us, but they ensure there is always clear water available to every tap. The accomplishments of these people seem rather plain and not worth noticing. However, I shall say they are successful people. They have done a great work which should not be undervalued. They managed to maintain the important aspects of public utilities as well as the peace and order of the society day by day and year by year. You can imagine if these people failed to do such work effectively, what a terrible chaos we would witness.
Furthermore, the success of people taking new things and risks are also supported and guaranteed by their doing things that they’ve done well. If people do not make full use of the things they could do excellently, their success would not be attained just because of their adventurous attempts. Success lies not so much as in luck as in hard work. For example, when a team of soldiers aim to take a military assault, their success is only partly dependent on the risk taking itself, more are determined by whether in this action they could realize their potentials, whether they manage to do things they are good at in the train-ings, such as moving quickly and firing accurately. A scientist with fresh ideas would be successful only if he combines those with other skills he already grasp well, such as collecting and analyzing data to test his arguments.
To sum up, the claim that successful people take new things and risks rather than things they've done well is unfounded. Taking new things and risk may contribute to success in some circumstances, but people should also do things they have done well to ensure their success. And people who only do things they have done well should also be regarded as successful, as long as the result is really good.

范文三号:fancyww的:Some people think it's more important to spend more time working than being with family,what do you think? (语言小做修改)
As the steps of the modern world getting faster, many people find it difficult to balance their professional and personal life. So more and more people sacrifice their family time to work extra hours in order to keep their positions or get promoted. However, in my opinion, family should always come first. Work should not get in the way of our personal life, especially the happy time with our family.
To most people, family is the final reason why they work so hard. On one hand, family supports you. The love from family is the strongest power supporting us to live in this world. A person who is successful in life is a person who has a happy family. On the other hand, family is not only whose blood you have, but more about who you care. So just think about what we ultimately work for. Generally, we work for better positions to make more money. We earn more money to afford a beautiful house in a better community, to buy a bigger car so that we can go for a family picnic, or to send our kids to the best school. It is simple to find out that our desire to work hard finally pointing(points) at the happiness of our family. Why? It is just because we care.
Since family is our power to fight against difficulties and the reason we work with effort, then why should we hurt family because of work? Once I read a story in magazine. A daughter one day asked her father how much money he made per hour. The father was confused but then answered, “one hundred dollars”. “Then can I borrow fifty dollars from you?” asked the little girl. The father was at first a bit angry for he thought his daughter wanted money to by toys. However, when he finally gave her daughter fifty dollars, the girl took out another fifty and said, “With my pocket money now I have one hundred dollars. Can I buy you one hour so you can come home early to have dinner with me, dad?” The story vividly tells us that no matter how much fortune you make, it cannot buy the happy time you have missed with you family. Work can be repeated everyday, but there is only one high school graduation performance of your daughter, only one 20 years anniversary of your marriage, only one 60 birthday of your mother and the list will go on. In a word, family is the most precious in life. 这样的写法(围绕一个故事)不常见,但我个人很喜欢,很生动
To sum up, it is certainly excellent to balance work and family. However, when family and work contradicts, I believe to spend the time with family is far more worthwhile and gratifying than to work overtime.

范文二号:walala同学:Has technology made the world a better place to live?
Speaking of technology, different people will hold different views based on their own experiences and understanding. Some people will agree that technology is a useful tool which could help us in almost all fields, while others think technology has done more harm than good considering the damage to the environment and the pressure it brings to modern people. As far as I’m considered, technology indeed makes the world a better place for living and my reasons are as follows.
First and foremost, technology has brought countless convenience to people nowadays. Technology is a greater help to our work as well as our family affairs(affair有贬义,绯闻啥的,用family life比较好点). We are now using computers to solve complicated problems we meet in the research programs, to collect large amout of information we need in study, and even to oragnize our finiacial affairs, all of which save us a lot of time and money. What’s more, it’s easy for us to travel to different places due to the fast and safe transportation such as airplane or trains, and just a portable cellphone can connect us with our friends and relatives who are in foreign countries.
Besides, thanks to the development in technology, we now live in a happier and healthier life. For example, Internet provides us with numerous ways to relax,(句号) we can chat with our friends online, play computer games, and watch live football games, all of these entertainments (改which,或者重新开始一句)make our lives more enjoyable. More importantly, advancement in medical equipment leads to more breakthroughs in curing the deadly diseases, resulting (缺in) the longevity of human beings.
Nevertheless, there’s no denying that technology has made some negative effects to our environment. We’re now breathing dirty air polluted by the exhaust gases from cars, and drinking poisonous water contaminated by chemical wastes. Technology will still continue to damage our environment if we do not take effective actions.
Based on the reasons stated above, we can still make the conclusion that technology is making a better world despite its bad influence. All we have to do in the future is to make the technology move toward the direction of creating a better world.

范文一号:momoi同学:不是所有的东西能从书本中学来。 比较经验知识和书本知识。 哪个更重要。
While books were usually considered the most significant source of knowledge in the past, nowadays people hold more rational and practical views towards this issue. Learning-by-doing model has been given more weights to by current education system, enterprise management fields and even social valuation mechanisms. Following the mainstream view, I’m totally in favor of learning from praxis, and it’s kind of interesting to further dig out why I regard experience knowledge more important than book knowledge. Totally in favor让你的论点有点模糊了。考虑用下though, still 之类的连接词
First, let us look at what people typically benefit from books. In general, knowledge gained from books has a wider range than that gained from experiences. We now live in a world where we could easily get access to nearly all fields’ information from books, such as philosophy, history, literature, physics, mathematics, and the list will go on, only if we have already acquired basic reading skills. Unlike the experience of an individual, books seem to have almost no limitations.
However, the sad news is that, even if boundaryless knowledge is contained in books, individuals usually need further comprehension mainly through experiences. We take in information through our senses, yet we ultimately learn by doing, which sparks our interest and generates our motivation to self-discover. Think back on learning to ride a bicycle, use a computer, dance, or sing. We took an action, saw the consequences of that action, and chose either to continue, or to take a new and different action. What allowed us to master the new skill was our active participation in the event and our reflection on what we attained. Experience and reflection taught more than any manual or lecture ever could.
Furthermore, although diversity of knowledge and a broad spectrum of information can be sourced in printed matters, it is quite true that not everything is contained in books: how to deal with personal finance, how to cope with current social trends, even how to most effectively organize our own minds and numerously other things can seldom be found thoroughly and comprehensively discussed in books. These precious knowledges can only be distilled from individuals’ personal experience.
Overall, learning-by-doing is more active than learning-by-reading as it results in longer-term recall, synthesis, and problem-solving skills. We must reflect on what happened, distill knowledge from our experiences and move from passivity to activity.
语言很流畅地道,论证清晰到位没有废话,大家一起学习吧。

非常谢谢,正好昨天写了一篇
161. work for someone else or own a business
Job choice is of vital importance to a person's career. 这句话没有什么意义,职业选择对职业来说当然很重要,可以不写。Currently, a growing number of college students are torn between 缺定冠词 two choices, "Should I start my own business like cafe or restaurant or should I enter a big company like Microsoft or GE?" Some people like to recommend the former option to colleges students, others, myself inculded, perfer to suggest youngman to accumulate some experiences before kick(ing) off their own business. 重要:题目是说为别人工作,不=在大公司工作
Firstly, by working in a big company, we can learn a great deal of useful skill, information, and ability about business world. We all know that, the outside life is more complication than university. For most of us, even we have accomplished the education in school, we still is (we are still)rookies with zero experiences about business. And the first job enable us to gain access to practice school knowledge and have more useful work experiences, form how to fix the printer to handle multi-task (multiple tasks) efficiently. So, thus (两个词重复) perhaps could explain a recent social phenomena, many of students like to have summer job during their holidays, not only for extra pocket mony, but also for valuable work experience, which make them more competitive in the labor market when they graduate. 写这类型2选1的题目,经常可以在分论点里进行对比。比如这一段你可以补充说,没有任何经验自己开公司的话是多么的不利。
Moreover, working in a company, which provide (主谓一致) opportunities to meet people of diverse backgrounds, some of them (which)are native, others are come from abroad; some guys are good at deal(ing) with client, other girls (没必要用两个性别,另外guys太口语了,people即可)are expert in paper work. And this is very crucial factor to help us to success (动词), 句号。let us consider the following hypothetical situation, suppose one morning in company, our boss leave (主谓)a complex task to us, it must have finished before noon, and the task is translate this three thousand words compact to chinese, spanish and french and deliver it to ten client all around the world. This could totally knock us out, and we really need some colleagues or friends to help. Thanks to our French partner, who can take care of the english to french translation, we could focus on chinese and spanish edtion. 这个分论点比较模糊,在公司工作可以遇到不同背景的人,这样是有助于团队合作呢?还是让你了解到不同处世态度和文化价值? 你举的例子是表明团队合作的,所以最好开头能把论点再挖得深一点。另外剩下的语法不改了,请自己检查。
Admittedly, daily routines of monotonous office work is very common in big company, those sedentary office work will takes a toll on the physical health, heightening te risks of diseases, such as obesity and hypertension, and endless heavy task also create excessive stress, leading to anxiety and depression, which have a negative effect on the mental health. However, if we can maintain a health lifestyle, have physical exercise on regular basis and spend more leisure time with close friends or family to reduce work stress. We can say for sure, that the disadvantages of working in a big company are far outweigh its disadvantages. Again,这段如果能围绕着对比来写会更好,尽管是让步论点。可以先说那些在公司工作的弊病,which doesnt exist in launching a brand new business. 不过实际上这样的可能性很小。所以你愿意的话,可以把这个让步变成第三个正方论点。说自主创业有很多难以承受的压力和不可预见性,不适合大学生。这个题目和很多T的题目一样,是针对你个人看法的,因此完全可以说你的观点而不必涵盖整个世界。
In short, working in someone's company, despite some drawbacks, should be recommend to college students for it provide a good opportunity to practice our old knowledge and learn more new business skill, improving our social relaitonship and bolstering the chance to success for people have ambitions and dreams.

Just as the topic says, last one hundred years is a prosperous century, since a great number of inventions have come out (been made;发明不会主动出现的). They benefit people a lot, improve people's lives and also propel the whole society.In all the inventions, I have to say that television is the most essential one for the entire world. With televisions, people can gain information with a high efficiency. They can also be amused by the programs broadcast on TV, talking (and talk;注意句子主语)about these programs after their watching, which strengthen their relationship. Thus I think the invention of television is of the largest importance. 论点已经说过了,不用再这一段重复了
@" v
Television has brought many benefits and one of them is that it provides people messages (provides people with information;message一般都是具体的一条文字信息)at a high speed. In our daily lives, people may obtain news with many methods (sources): newspapers, radio broadcast, even oral spreading (搭配引人遐想……改成daily talk就好). But none of them overwhelms television. Television can tell people what is happening right now even far from 1000 kilometers away. Think about the broadcasts of a rocket's setting up. When a rocket is going to be launched, a lot of journalists rush to the spot to cover the event. They deliver it to the whole world only in a second, and people can follow the event easily without leaving home. In this way, people can maintain the information as soon as it happens. 你提到了其他的三种传播方式,那么有必要说一下为什么电视在时间上胜过他们。radio的话在时间上和电视可以同步,那么要么不写radio,要么写出电视其他的好处:有鲜活的图像搭配声音(which radio can not do)
Meanwhile, a number of programs have been broadcasting (people broadcast program, not the other way round)on TV from time to time, which includes news, knowledge, entertainment, and so on. People can take advantage of their spare time to enjoy the programs. While watching, they can discuss about the program and enhance their relationship. For example, my families (人生一个family足矣……) and I always watch TV after supper. Sometimes we watch the programs of series (连续剧?soap opera?)and sometimes those about science. We often talk about what will happen to a character in a series or what can people grasp (gain) from a new discovery or invention. Thus, our relationship has been fortified. 这个论点很好。
Some negative effects that television has lead to, however, should never be neglected. Since an increasing popularity of television programs have been raised, people are always waiting in front of TV sets for their favorite programs and ignore the magnitude of doing exercise (excersing就可以了). With the developing (development)of the society, living standard of people has been improved as well. But diseases which threat people's health come subsequently. People must do some exercise instead of be seated to watching TV more often than not (?). (参考:Thus, people should exercise more to keep themselves healthy, rather than be a couch potato all the time. )From this point of view, television does own disadvantages (does have its disadvantages;does表示强调) to a certain degree.
Generally speaking, television has done (brought about) great improvement for people's lives on the efficiency of receiving information and making people close(r) to each other. But people should consider it comprehensively. The idea that television is perfect must be refuted. People must pay attention to the negative aspects caused by television and make efforts to minimize them (to the nadir;到them句子已经完整,不用再表示最低了,另外我不知道nadir的用法……).

为什么人们要旅游时要去博物馆 谢谢lz 作文很头疼
4 s, S: Y/ C( ^9 }4 r6 a) \# G
There are numbers (单数)of people (缺who,不然这句两个动词) always visit the museums when they travel to new places.这句话迂回了,简单的说就是:Museum is a must-see for many travellers. It is not difficult to explain this pheromone 拼写. As a combination of history and culture as well as the place where many actors are exhibited (? 博物馆展览演员?。。), museums always have their attraction to people by gratify(ing) the visitor’s thirst for knowledge and great works. 建议改写:Museums always attract visitors by gratifying their thirst for XXXXX.
建议加个Firstly之类的,这样条理比较清晰。People may know more about the history and culture about the country or the city they traveled (缺介词) by visiting (the) local museums. The Capital Museum of China will be (缺a)good example. Its displays are well exhibited ?the culture, the custom and the history of China. For an ecdemic (如果是我会用foreign) visitor who knows little about China, it is difficult to know China (用此注意不要重复太多,第二个China可以换成the country) well by going everywhere. So in a limited time(time 不可数), visiting this museum will be a good way to let him know the characteristic of this country. 这个例子等于没说,首都博物馆好在哪里呢?有怎样的展品/特色呢?老外如何能短时间了解中国的characteristic呢?尤其是考虑到无法去很多地方旅行,该博物馆怎样弥补了这一缺憾。这些都写出来就有血有肉了。
And some museums are also a place where many celebrated artworks are kept. The Louvre Palace in France, for instance, is a dream place for mounts of people (未见过此搭配。。many即可)who love act (终于明白了你是把art都写成了act。。?). There are many great works such as Venus sculpture and Mona Lisa painting (没有这样并置的,改:and the painting Mona Lisa) (缺which,不然句子两个动词)give the museum a special affection (给博物馆爱这个说法比较汗。。建议: which put the museum in public spotlight). There is no doubt that people will visit this museum when they take a trip to Paris. They may have read of lots a books about these famous works of art and look forward to the chance to see them with their own eyes. 这段论证不错。
There also exists the reason that people visit museum because it is a museum. They heard about a museum before, and other people visited it when they came to this place. They curious about it so when they come here, it will be a good chance for them to know it, even though the museum is not the kind of place they really like. For an example, people visit the Great palace for different reasons. Many of them visit there because it is a well known place. 这个论点的关键词sight-seeing没有写出来,或者说visting museum is part of the travel experience for some people,to complement shopping, dining, etc.
In conclude (In conclusion或者To conclude), the desire of knowledge about (改:to know)a place and chance to see great arts as well as the curious (curiosity) about the museum they heard (三个名词性词组并列,A,B,and C XXXX)is what I think people’s reason (这个表达方法很拗口) to visit museums when they travel to a new place 这后半句太绕口了,建议:XXXX explain why travellers enjoy museums to a great deal.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teachers should be paid according to how much their students learn. Give specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
前两天写了一篇,第一次写,觉得问题很多,不晓得逻辑结构到底对不对,希望能多多指教啊!谢谢哦~~
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific examples to support your opinion.
With the significant development of technology, televisions, in the modern society, have slipped into everyone’s home noiselessly (silently). While at the same time, problems raised (brought by;raise question一般用在人身上,提问) by television are becoming more and more apparent. Many people believe television has enlarged the distance among friends and family. I am one of the people who highly agree with the opinion.(这句话比较别扭,下一句比较罗嗦,合并成 I am in total favor of the statement for the following reasions 即可) Considering the problems from three aspects, conclusion can be drawn naturally.
From the perspective of children, it has become a common scene (搭配不太常见,it has become natural) that children rush back to home, motivated by the desire of watching (desire后面跟to do)television, after a whole day (day‘s) class (这个句子有两个状态:一是小孩放学冲回家,二是开始看电视,所以“上了一天课”这个词组直接跟在冲回家后面意思上比较连贯). Cartoon movies have a strong power for (deeply attract) little children. However, a tremendous number of parents are worried about their children, because watching TV has been a main part for the children’s daily life, 句号。as a result, seldom (few)of them are willing to go out (of house) participating games with theithe(这里发生了什么事……句子咋合并了) perspective of adults, the problem appears to be the same. Ending a day of busy work, all the adulr (?) friend. 这段论证有待加强,如果你尝试总结分论点,就会发现是“人们花了太多时间在电视机前,没有时间和朋友分享了”,完全=总论点,所以必须把论证写的更细,主要是首先要确定分论点,再加上个人感受,例子什么的。
From ts are full of anxiety(?) to have a good relax (relax是动词), getting away from the huge pressure and burden of living. Naturally, sitting in front of TV, focusing their eyes on the screen, is a vivid description of every family. 这句话是在说电视能缓解压力,和你反对电视的立场是相反的,需要一个转折性的连接词把这个论点转过来,尤其是你后面用了“另外”,表明两个观点应该是在同一立场上的。 What’s more, couples can be separated by TV. Only watching the program (Chinglish), couples have few opportunities to communicate with each other. All they remember is watching. No emotional talks, no funny jokes, no warm care, all the house can be heard only voice from TV. It is quite cool (用cold,cool现在好像大多是褒义) and horrible. Again,首先确定这个分论点,再继续写,假设这段的论点是破坏夫妻关系。你的论证跳过了一个环节,就显得很单薄了。压力大--〉回家看电视--〉缺失的环节--〉夫妻不再说话。这个环节多半是看电视看得太多,比如晚饭的时候dinner talk is replaced by watching TV without mutual communication.
What’s more, no matter to the (for) children or adults, watching TV waste (主谓不一致) an enormous amount of time. During the time, people would have the opportunities to go travelling, visit friends, join a ball, accompany relatives and spend a wonderful time together. However, as a real fact(as a matter of fact), people do nothing but watching (watch) television. 旅行和看电视并不是矛盾到不能共存的,这个分论点的前提是watch excessive TV,最好写出来。另外时刻注意topic,是说破坏人际关系,那么最好写一下旅行等helps to build up close relationships between people.
In conclusion, we can clearly understand how television destroys people’s relationships among family and friends. I highly suggest everyone spend less time (on) watching TV, more time on friends and family. Only in this way, can we make more friend(s), strengthen emotional relationship with our family, and make our life colorful.

谢谢lz!
topic:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teachers should be paid according to how much their students learn. Give specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
/ ?, ~6 L% I$ C5 b
There is a public controversy nowadays over the issues (单数,特指这一个问题)that whether teachers should be paid according to how much their students learn. From my personal angle alone (alone没啥必要), I hardly agree with the opinion.
There are many factors that can influence student’s learning, and the teacher is not the determining one. Such elements as a student’s psychological condition, the school policy, parent influence, the community and environment also impact the degree to which a student learns. The traditional Chinese idiom, three moves of Mencius' mother, provides a typical instance of the importance of a proper environment for the proper upbringing of children. Mencius' mother moved their house three times—from beside a cemetery to beside a marketplace , to finally beside a school—before finding a location that she felt was suitable for his upbringing, which exerted a considerable influence on Mencius who then became a renowned Chinese philosopher and sage, and one of the principal interpreters of Confucianism. 这个例子很好,如果能在段末再点题说一下,A case like this illustrates that teachers are far from the determining factor of students' achievement. Therefore, it is unwise to pay teachers based on their students' performance.
There also would be a great negative effect if teachers are paid based on how much their students learn. The teachers are likely to place the students under an unrelenting (=relentless) pressure (表达有点别扭,建议:to pressure students relentlessly) so as to improve their financial situations. In order to impose large stress (搭配不当,再则:施加压力不是教师的目的,不适合用in order to) to make students pay more attention to study, teachers will demand that only good students can have suitable seats in the classroom, like the second or third row in the middle of the class that is never too close or too far from the blackboard. Besides, they will have a GPA rank after each test, and the students who fail in the tests have to take extra courses. With all the pressure a student may suffer, he or she may be sick of study, sick of teacher and sick of school.
What’s more, there is no assessment to measure the depth of learning of students. Frequently, grades are used to measure the students’ knowledge and use of subject matter. However, a close inspection of this measurement would reveal how flimsy it is. A recent survey conducted by China University Alumni Association reveals that none of the very best who achieved the top score in the National Higher Education Examination has obtained a remarkable achievement in their later studies. 这个数据可信么。。? 另外什么是remarkable, later studies,必须下一个定义。关于IBT作文里的捏造型证据,我觉得用personal experience is a lot better than statistics. 这里完全可以用一个你认识的什么隔壁邻居的小孩的例子来说,就不用严密的考虑编造数据的逻辑了。 It is obvious to see that subject marks cannot judge the how much students learn.( `6 _4 @. o- Y
From what has been discussed above, I strongly oppose any position arguing (the argument)that teachers have all responsibility for students learning, for it is not only the dominant factor which can influence the performance of students, but will cause terrible harm to them. Moreover, there is no precise assessment at all.

Is daily homework necessary for students?
Nowadays, more and more students feel stressful about their academic courses; large amount(s) of homework, more strict requirements and countless exams have filled their lives. Some people start to doubt that whether daily homework is necessary or (缺not). As far as I'm concerned, it's imperative for students to have suitable amount of daily assignments, and my reasons are as follows.
To begin with, daily homework is a very good feedback from students and can improve their study efficiency. Teachers arrange daily homework at the aim of checking (in order to check)how much knowledge their students absorb (用have done时态比较好,检查作业和写作业时先后发生的事情) and find the students’ weaknesses by collecting (correcting?) the mistakes. In the teaching -learning process, doing homework is an indispensable step since homework can be one of the most reliable sources for teachers to make out their teaching plans. 这是另一个论点还是同一个论点?比较模糊。Meanwhile, students can also have better insights to the courses. Students will encounter questions or troubles when doing homework and after consulting teachers, they can have a better understanding of what they have learned. 能学的更好应该是分论点吧,后面展开的讨论有些看上去像是和分论点平行的,不太清晰。
Moreover, finishing homework timely and independently shapes students' personalities in some way. Students are required to do their homework everyday (分开) by themselves, which not only help them develop a good habit of finishing tasks on time, but also teach them to be responsible. A good student should try his best to do his homework before playing outside with his friends or watching TV. He ought to keep in mind that he has daily assignment to finish and it's his duty. Through doing homework, students start to form the concept of responsibility and independence.
Nevertheless, homework will be a great helper only when it’s at reasonable amount. Too much homework will make students lose interests in study and feel overstressed. While, suitable amount of homework can arise students' passion in further thinking. Furthermore, different subjects should have different types of homework. It's quite effective to learn Chinese by residing important passages while it's quite boring to memorize the math equations.. h* k* p% J/ N) c8 @ q* {
As the reasons stated above, it's not difficult to draw a conclusion that homework should and can play a vital role in students' learning.

topic:It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
We are educated to learn as long as we live since young (an early age). We learn from different kinds of materials, such as books, people and the life itself. It is a complex question to figure out which is more important, for we cannot make a living without any of them. However, knowledge from books is more significant, seen from my point (不见这个搭配,from my point of view就可以了,from前面不用逗号).
(这里加一个Admittedly之类的词比较好,因为这一段是说生活经验重要,是让步性的观点)We learn from the experiences since we were born. Infants cry for things they wanted, because they know from the past experiences the signal of crying could draw others’ attention and meet their own demands. Much more advanced knowledge is obtained with age. We learn from past experiences to tackle things, such as basic living skills, dealing (缺with)a problem the same as past(这半句有点多余而且不顺畅). Knowledge gained from experiences is often vivid and practical, it would drop (搭配不当,leave)a deep impression in mind and so it’s often unforgettable.婴儿的那部分没啥问题,但是成年人的那部分缺乏例子,只是反复的说经验重要。稍微加一点内容,比如用such as learning to drive, XXXX 跟着最后一句就会生动点了。
However, knowledge from books is always theoretical. We read the conclusions drawn by authors, which renders a shortcut for practical things. We need not to do all things practically to get the conclusions, (缺连词) books provide accesses to them. For instance, we know from the book that human cannot fly with the help of any tools, instead of from the past experiences of falling down from a tree(如果我没有理解错的话,你的意思是:从书上我们得知任何工具不能让人飞起来,而不用像过去一样通过从树上掉下来吸取经验。那么,飞机是工具么?从论证角度说,如果写地球让太阳转更容易把握些,因为这个例子里生活经验是靠不住的,而书本才是正确的。从语言角度说,instead of这半句放在from book之前比较容易读懂). Books save us a lot of time and energy to reach the conclusion, and besides, they could give guidance to practical deeds. That’s why people go to school for compulsory education or even higher education and then have jobs. For another instance, we learn from the books.?没写完?下次要记得自己检查下。。
Although without practical experiences, theoretical book- (bookish即可)knowledge would not come out (改exist) and(否定句中,改or) be proved, (缺连词)the latter one presents a higher stage of perspective for study and is needed fundamentally (用被动不妥,而且没啥必要).
顺便再发一篇昨天写的~才开始写作文,感觉逻辑不清楚而且结构不清晰,用词太简单了。
再扣首谢楼主~

楼主,看看我的这篇文章是否写得时候审题有问题,谢谢。0 Z. B6 B8 @2 M/ h. n
Do you agree or disagree with the follow statement? In university,students should take the history courses no matter what field they study in.
There is thorny debate on whether students should take history courses whatever field they study in.Although some people argue that it is not necessary in that the additional course will increase the burden of students' study (work多余).However,they fail to see that history have a positive impact on their study as well as their whole life.I am probably wilI always be, one of those who believe that history not just reflect culture of one country but also be considered as precious experience for us solving problems.
0 K" G) D2 F* d
learning history could spire (是inspire?)students to comprehand all- round (all aspects of) the culture (of one country多余了).Great Wall,the symbol of Chinese culture, it is not just one of Eight Wonders in the world people appreciate and go sight-seeing,what is more important,it is astonished and impressed by the fact that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of industrious Chinese commoners.It is Great Wall that symbol of the bravery and wisdom of Chinese people. Not only could we foster nation pride by learning history,but also we tend to appreciate the distinct alien cultures and value.For example,when it come to Statue of Liberty,it could easily associate with American Revolution,which American colonies struggle for civic liberty leading to the foundation of a new nation.
It is fairly precious experience that learn from history when people deal with complex problems .Since human beings had been punished by neglecting the envrionment pollution during economic development,more and more cournties begin to focus on pollution and take efficient measures to protect the envrionment.For instance,Great Smog,a notable event of air pollution,cause the death of at least 4,000 Londoners and compel the governments to make regulations restricting the use of dirty fuels in industry and banning black smoke.Only when people really realize the improtantance of history experience and lessons can people better solve complex problems efficiently.(这两段没有仔细看语言= =b,就看审题了俄。这一段要说清楚伦敦大雾和历史性事件的关系,是它learn from history了的话,要把历史事件写出来;当代人learn from 伦敦的话,也要写出来我们做了哪些反污染的措施,别的没什么问题)
In conclusion, students would be benifitial to(Sth. is beneficial for Sb. 这句话应该是:students would benefit from) learning history with profound understanding (缺of)the culture of (one country多余) as well as obtaining abuntant expericence for their problems-solving (more efficient多余,而且应该用efficiently).

Playing computer games is a waste of time for children. Do you agree or disagree?
Currently, computer games are (游戏表示一个集合的概念,单数即可)now indispensable way of recreation for children. However, some people contend that it is waste of time that children play computer games. As far as I am concerned, I believe that playing computer games will not waste too much time of children as long as they play it properly, and the reasons go as follows (following).:
The first point I would like to emphasize is that play(词组做主语,用动名词playing)computer games will give children opportunity to relax after they accomplish their homework. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Children should have enough time to relax.(这句和第一句基本重复,可以省去) If they study all the time and have not enough leisure time, they will get tired of school work and even they will generate frustration on the study (on the study没必要,前半句就是再说学习了,... and even frustrated即可(省略了重复的get). I cannot imagine what children's life will be like if there is no recreation time for them.这句对你的论证没有任何帮助,可以不写 The result of children have not (not having)enough leisure time is that it will influence the mental health of children. Therefore, not only does playing computer games will not waste a lot of time, but they can avoid mental illness and enhance the efficient of their study.最后两句,mental health 和前面的tired 和frustrated是一个意思,也没有进一步展开,写不出别的内容可以捏造点例子,什么你认识的某个小孩厌学了然后XXXX了。最后一句也是重复了之前的意思,没必要。
Another point I would like to introduce is that (用一个Also,就可以了)children can be foster many kinds of (注意主被动关系,应该是: many kinds of excellent characteristics can be fostered in children) during they play computer games (要么:during computer games;要么:when they play computer games), such as the ability of communicate(动名词) with other people, cooperation and the spirit of overcome(动名词) the difficult. As we all know, when children playing (这里不要动名词)games, they have to communicate and cooperation with others by the internet, and then they can overcome the difficult of the game and gain the victory (这句话和上一句的意思相仿,但是多了“网络”,所以可以把两句合并). During this process, they can acquire these excellent abilities. Hence, playing games are not waste their time, they can be cultivated into an excellent ones. 最后一句again没有必要。这一段的细节就是网络游戏时候的交流,那么能不能写具体点,类似战友要合作好才能爆头之类的(但是不要写这么暴力的例子啊!)
Last but not the least, (缺by)playing computer games children can study a great deal of knowledge about many country's history. At present, computer games is full of a large mount of history of some country. Thus, children can relax themselves and at the same time they can learn a lot of knowledge of history. 这句和第一句是一个意思Take my brother for example, he is always play (出现两个动词了) the game of Chinese history on his computer after they (注意人称)complete(主谓一致) his homework. He know(主谓一致) a great deal of history of China (Chinese history)after he play (has played或者playing) the game and even (he 多余)learn(learnt) the fact of history what (用which/that)adults do not know. And now he becomes more and more intrested in history of China. Obviously, my brother is not waste(ing) his time but learn (连词前后的句子动词注意平衡) a lot of useful knowledge.
In conclusion, although playing computer games may waste children a lot of study time, children (用they代替,避免重复)can obtain a large number of benefits, like (For instance,)they will have a rest when they finish their homework and cultivate some kinds of excellent characteristics and (some kinds of )knowledge. As long as they control the time of playing games, they will benefit from playing computer games.

2008-6-22 The most important measure to improve people's health is to solve environmental problems.# t# D(
\/ [( X/ F
. [1 G4 D" j* d6 I9 W2 Q
Environmental problems are more severe and now it is become a global threat. The excessive use of pesticide, enlarged ozone hole and the pollution of the oceans as it ends up polluting our food sources, do have impair(ed) our physical and even mental health adversely. Pay more attention on (pay attention to;另外作为主语,pay需要动名词化)environmental problems could have some positive effects on our health. However, there remain(s,主谓一致) various influential factors improve(注意这句话两个动词了) or undermine individual health, and environmental problems is just one of them. 从这一段看不清楚你的主要论点,是同意还是反对topic?至少要说一下解决环境问题是不是最重要的措施
For decades, pollution in water, air and earth have undermined our health. It is obvious and ironical that nature is fair, it will (两个动词了~)reward us for every so-called significant advantages and far-reaching inventions. If we (缺are)still careless about environmental problems, it is need(need基本不用被动,改we need) to concern the big problem about our health, soon or late (sooner or later). And the harbinger has appeared, according to research by scientists, pesticide and herbicide abuse is the major reason for abortion and deformity in recent years. The process is like this, excessive amounts of chemical compound in environment, such as DDT and ten-eighty, it (注意句子结构,it 指什么,另外又两个动词了)premeate into earth and ground water, finally it get into our breads and biscuits after we irrigate crops with aquifer water. Those contaminated food is a potent hazard to pregnant women, as well as other normal people. Worse still, not only are those phenomenon occured(occurring,注意主动被动的关系) on land, but also happened(同理) in ocean. Needless to say, if we could solve some environmental problems, we will enjoy more clean air, water, food and thus do improve our health and reduce the risk of disease.
Admittedly, environmental problems play a consequential(这个词在这里的用意?是想写substantial?) role in people's health, as we have discussed above,(句号) however, to our knowledge, there are a great deal of(改many;a great deal of 是形容不可数名词的) measures (缺that) could have positive effects on our health, lifestyle, workout and better medical technology, for instance (for instance跟在太长的宾语后面会变成画蛇添足). Seldom can one keep health and good shape with sedentary lifestyle and junk food. Moreover, thanks to the development of medical treatment, more and more diseases and germs cannot threaten our health. Black Death or plague, as a case in point, hardly to heal before doctors understood how germs could cause diseases until 19th century. Equally important, keep sedentary lifestytle away and have a regular exercise enable us to gain a health and strong body, not to mention the higher intelligence we have benefited form workout, this part (改which,不然又两个动词)is pulished拼写 on recent issue of Scientific American. Another good reason for eggheads get out form books, beside to improve their health.这句话是跟随SA的研究的么?个人觉得没什么必要
In conclude(To conclude或者In conclusion,自己注意词性), many impressed global environmental problems have undermined our health, which badly need to be solved. But if we only focus on those long-term measures, and neglect healthy lifestyle, even pare down the public health and medicine budget, the consequence could be undesirable and painful. 这个论点表达就很清晰了,开头和结尾类似(不是雷同)就行了。
感谢的话就不多说了,我会加倍努力写作文以报答。嘿嘿 客气,不用每次都感谢啦

1.Why people attend college?
People attend college or university for many different reasons(for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge).Why do you think people attend college or university ? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Currently, a majority people try hard to attend the college, no matter the students’ parents or the society has the willing(?不论家长和社会的期望?) that the young people should be a memeber of the university students(a niversity student即可). For example, The parents in China encourage their children to (make endeaver in;多余了) learning extremely hard in high school, then their children can get the colleges’ inviting card.这句example可以不写,和下一句是一个意思,在第一段尽量简洁些。 It is a normal phenomenon that people attend college in China now. But why do people be willing to ? (But why are they willing to?)用问句引导是很好的方式5
Fistly, in my opinion, people notice the importance of education. On the one hand, (为什么要用转折?前后两句的语气是承接的)no matter in China or United States, or any other countries, it is important for the government to make great achivements in education, otherwise they can’t gurantee the future of the whole country. So every country will take a lot of measures to let people enjoy the higer education. It is abosolutely easy to recognize the significance of enducation for citizens in such kind of country. 这两句啰嗦,就是把分论点又重复了,应该写写为什么教育利国?写不出来的时候可以从反面思考:一个国家没有教育会变得怎样 On the other hand, most people take major knowledge into account?. Since the country’s future is not the only reason, people doing lots of work in attending college is also for their further development. (建议:On the other hand, students themselves would also benefit a lot from attending universities.)Abosorbing the useful knowledge will definitely be helpful in their future carrer. 这一段其实有两个论点了:利国;利民;建议分两段写
Secondly, it is such imcomparable experience that people cannot reject the wonderful attraction of college life. In university, it may be the right place and time for everybody to make new and energtic (为啥一定要精力充沛的朋友?= =b) friends. People can learn a lot of living experience from different characteristic friends (friends of different characteristics;两个名词直接并置一般是已经有固定搭配,如work load). What’s more, some of the friends can do lots of help (help a lot)in the rest life (the rest of the life). It (注意IT指代对象?)can cite the example of the premier president of United States, Clinton, who knew his wife that had been helping Clinton a lot since he joined the competing of(competition for) president at college. And in 2008, Clinton also helped his wife when she was tring to gain the honor of president. So we can see, it make sence when(makes sense that) people make friends in university. Some friends and experience should be cheriched拼写 in our life.
In summary, whatever people attend college for, they want to change their life. It is obvious that they consider that life should be more colorful and meaningful in every part, especially when they are young. On the other part(搭配不当,另外语气没有转折的意思,不需要用on the other hand), No matter for the family development, the career preparation or the economics of the country(前文论证如果没有说到经济,这里就不要说经济自找麻烦,说overall condition之类的就行了), the parents of the students, the students themselves and the government all need a brighter future by the students attending college.

Many teachers assign homework to students every day. Do you think that daily homework is necessary for students? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
l, v1 N1 z3 K% f" f! \
During the study time(改life;time太局限于具体的时间),we always do our homework everyday(every day).Though we don't want to do it at all (太过了,作文要避免这么极端的词,并且这个态度太消极)and even hate it costing(改occupying) too much my(注意人称统一,前面是we,这里不要用my) after-class time,I still prefer (to) the opinion (hold即可)that the daily homework is necessary for students because of the distractions,the communications and the good opportunities 这里写出三个原因让人难以理解(特别是第一个) ,不如直接写following reasons.
First, students face constant distractions that surround them every day.Cell phone,music players,and computer games are all being carried to their times after the class and prevent the students from doing his or her best on their disciplines. What's more,(the young多余) students don't have the strong abilities to control(strong control over) themselves and take the attentions (time) to review the knowledge that (go over what) they learned in the day time,not even to prepare for the next day study. 这里需要补上一句,说明强迫作业能够防止这种情况的产生。虽然这是很明显的,但是少了这一句,逻辑就少了一个环节。
Second,with so many students in the classroom,teachers no longer have enough time to communicate with each student individually.Doing daily homework is one of the best ways that connect the students and teachers.If there is a problem,teacher will point it out,and through the good reasoning,students will know where the weakness is and make progress every day.If there is no problem,that means that the teachers have perfect introduction to the new knowledge. 这段论证很好
Opponents (这句是让步,这里加一个may语气更顺畅些)argue that students will feel a heavy burden by the daily homework.But in reality,no daily homework doesn't mean no pressure.Nowadays,students are competing more and more for schools and jobs.Student's performance on standardized tests is becoming increasingly crucial to the opportunities that lie before the student when they complete their studies. Daily homework is based on the purpose that student could have the strong basic knowledge and prepared well(be well prepared) for the future exams.After the daily exercise,students become (to) familiar with the new problems and increasingly be more confident to face the future (studies多余;因为前文提到未来的职业生涯,所以不必限定在学习中).7
In conclusion,daily homework is one of the best way(s) to complete their studies tasks well (翻译的痕迹太明显了,建议;best ways to improve their learning).However,the teachers should take more attention on (搭配不当,pay attention to) the forms of daily homework.Maybe one day,students will enjoy the daily homework.最后两句画蛇添足了,首先是说作业的形式,前文的论证没有提到任何作业的形式,总结段不要提出新的概念。而最后一句更损害了你的立场——支持作业。这篇作文里不需要表达你不喜欢作业的感情,这会影响别人理解你的立场,因为:不喜欢作业--〉觉得没必要。

Has technology made the world a better place to live?
Speaking of technology, different people will hold different views based on their own experiences and understanding. Some people will agree that technology is a useful tool which could help us in almost all fields, while others think technology has done more harm than good considering the damage to the environment and the pressure it brings to modern people. As far as I’m considered, technology indeed makes the world a better place for living and my reasons are as follows. 这个开头很流畅,很好
First and foremost, technology has brought countless convenience to people nowadays. Technology is a greater help to our work as well as our family affairs(affair有贬义,绯闻啥的,用family life比较好点). We are now using computers to solve complicated problems we meet in the research programs, to collect large amout of information we need in study, and even to oragnize our finiacial affairs, all of which save us a lot of time and money. What’s more, it’s easy for us to travel to different places due to the fast and safe transportation such as airplane or trains, and just a portable cellphone can connect us with our friends and relatives who are in foreign countries.
Besides, thanks to the development in technology, we now live in a happier and healthier life. For example, Internet provides us with numerous ways to relax,(句号) we can chat with our friends online, play computer games, and watch live football games, all of these entertainments (改which,或者重新开始一句)make our lives more enjoyable. More importantly, advancement in medical equipment leads to more breakthroughs in curing the deadly diseases, resulting (缺in) the longevity of human beings.
Nevertheless, there’s no denying that technology has made some negative effects to our environment. We’re now breathing dirty air polluted by the exhaust gases from cars, and drinking poisonous water contaminated by chemical wastes. Technology will still continue to damage our environment if we do not take effective actions.
Based on the reasons stated above, we can still make the conclusion that technology is making a better world despite its bad influence. All we have to do in the future is to make the technology move toward the direction of creating a better world.

Playing computer games is a waste of time for children. Agree or disagree.7 p- n) q$ ]3 ?4 X
It is a well-known fact that games are prevailing in every part of the world. No matter adults or children both they all like playing games(这句话问题很多,both和all是冲突的;they指代不明且造成第二个主语;建议:No matter adults or children, people all love playing computer games). However, upon the question (多余), does playing computer games is a waste of time for children?(does,is一句话两个动词) Different people hold different opinions due to their various backgrounds and knowledge. Form my personal view, I am in favor of the opinion that playing computer games is benefit(beneficial) for children. The reasons for my opinion are as follows.
First of all, playing computer games is a good way to relax. As is known to all, nowadays our children must grasp a sea of knowledge in order to adapt (缺to) the speed of the modern society development.(这句话太牵强了,孩子上学和飞速发展的社会有啥关系?其实学校是象牙塔最不受干扰的了(这是题外话了)。要写的话,改成 ....in order to prepare themselves for their future career.) But as the old saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Playing computer games can make children to (搭配:make sb. do sth.)relax from these heavy works. For example, my brother who always playing(plays) computer games when he studied tired (改feel tired of school work), he felt refreshed after the games. Beside(s), statistical reports form 拼写 the Center of children’ Development in Hong Kong demonstrated that the best way for the students to relax form study is to play some games.
In addition, playing computer games can increase children mental ability and thinking power(两个词组是一个意思,后面的搭配比较拗口,建议删了), which is very important in children’ further development. Playing computer games can teach kids how to make a decision, increase children('s) knowledge, improve the way of thinking and memory, thus can keep our kids mentally alert and allow kids to make the right decisions in their life. For instance, during the internet chess game our kids can learn how to analyze every situation they face and how to make the best choice from several possibilities. Therefore, from the computer games kids can learn the strategies and accumulate knowledge which they can apply on their real life.这个例子不是最好,因为你说的情况是chess game特有的,没有写出电脑游戏的好处。要想想电脑游戏独一无二的东西,比如网友大家加强合作团结啦啥的
Furthermore, playing computer games can educate our kids a sense of competition(中式表达,改instill a sense of competition into kids). It is a good way to teach kids how to focus mind (and energy多余,不要逐字翻译 ) to reach the goal and also teach our kids to divide a difficult problem into several relatively smaller and easier tasks and solve them one by one. Children can not learn these things in their schoolbooks even their teachers told them how to deal with a problem and reach the goal. Children can easily remember these things through the games. So I think playing computer games is not a waste of time for children but good things. 首先想一下这一段的论点是什么?一般是第一句话了,培养竞争意识。那么后面几句都应该围绕这个观点来说,但这里你写到了其它的内容(如何解决问题啥的),自己必须先选择好sub-topic sentence,然后把论点展开,用点例子,比如我们说竞争意识,那么你要写一下哪个游戏会让孩子有恰当的竞争意识,which can not be learned from school work,这样还是可以和倒数第2句挂钩。这段最后一句纯属多余,而且太口语化。
To sum up, although sometimes playing computer games has several drawbacks(前面的论证没有提到过,结论段就最好不要提出新的概念), they can not surpass the overwhelming advantages. So taking into account all the factors discussed above, we could safely come to the conclusion that playing computer games is good for children to relax as well as study(改as a way to both relax and study).1

非常感谢LZ,上一篇作文已经修改完毕了,谢谢LZ的意见。3 K2 z3 y& k# e& K7 z, \
这个是今天写的,辛苦了。
这次怎么忘了先写题目了呢?这样不好,下次不带啊,呵呵。
No matter how the society develops, education is always the topic which people concern deeply. As times passes by, the pattern of education begins to be discussed fiercely(comes into heated discussion). Some people think that students should take different subjects as their classes(subject已经包含科目的意思,不用as their classes), while others argue that students must focus on just one academic field. From my point of view, I prefer the former one, since in this way, students can gain knowledge more easily, solve social problems and never feel that study is a boring thing which they have to face.
加个连词Firstly之类的比较好,Students in school must broaden their range of knowledge for their further life. Thus, they must try their best in their studies. But some students may find that they sometimes have problems while exploring their own major since a strange term appearing (when encountering a strange term)in their textbook. For instance, students majoring in sociology may meet the word "sample", which is usually considered as a mathematical term. If the students lack the knowledge about mathematics, they will probably fail to understand the sentence or even the passage containing this word. What's worse, they may fail in their final examination and even fail in the subject. So we can see the importance of learning other subjects. 这个例子很好,但是建议在开头两句提到学科的交叉性,例如:Firstly, it is imperative that students should broaden their range of knowledge, since many subjects now involve cross-disciplined information.
(加个Also之类的,)In our recent society, people are required to be a generalist rather than a specialist, because solving problems always need(s) knowledge from different fields. Take the same example-sociology-(sociology case)for example. Researchers always use the statistical method to investigate or analyze some questionnaires. Suppose that these persons do not master this kind of skill well. Then they cannot go on these affairs(改tasks), which would (缺be)a great loss to the entire society in that social policies depend on these reports. Therefore, multiple kinds of knowledge are very crucial for a person. 这段论点和上一段的唯一区别(你还用了同一个例子。。)恐怕就在学生时代和工作以后,两者本质上是一样的,而题目(虽然我没看见。。)应该是针对学生的,这一段就更不合适了
Furthermore, students who take distinct (different?) classes will often keep their passion to study. The saying "Laboring must go with amusing" shows that a person needs to know how to arrange his/her schedule to make his/her work effective, which can also describe students' learning.这句会引起误导,让人以为你要说娱乐的重要性。 Concentrating on one thing for a long time can drive a person crazy easily(这句太偏激了,concentrating on one thing for a long time can sometimes be bothersome), but when a person contracts(想表达?) two or more fields, he/she may feel fresh to each of them (fresh的用法:the concept is fresh for me 注意主被动关系,建议改成:he may find the subjects fresh every now and then). As a result, students will not lose their interest in study(ing) and also keep learning with high efficiency(keep high efficiency in learning).
: U" m3 ? q3 f5 V; q; ?
In sum(To sum up), I think students in universities should take different kinds of classes for dissimilar(这词很少用吧) courses can help students comprehend the knowledge, enhance their abilities to crack the troubles in front of them and always learn with enthusiasm.

(辛苦楼主了,近来作文有些混沌,亟须理顺思维,下面这个题目帮偶看看吧,有您的点拨定能柳暗花明啊~~~)
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better to have one or two close friends than to have a large number of casual acquaintances.
Generally speaking,what character you are tends you to (tend用法:tend to do sth;建议改为:your characters decide whether you'll) have one or two close friends or a large number of casual acquaintances. If you are an easy-going man and enjoying spending your spare time with many friends,it will be a good choice that having (to have) many friends (一句句子中避免两种重复的表达方法,另外enjoy spending time已经表达了这是一个好选择的意思,有点类似“因为我enjoy听音乐,所以我喜欢听音乐”的逻辑).If you are a quiet and independent person,that(改it) will be much better to have few close friends.However,let's imagine that the character is not the main factor.(你在论证,不能假设一个你已经陈述过的论点:前几句话都表达了你认同性格的作用;可以改用让步语气)In most cases then,you may would (两个助动词不能连用)rather decide how many friends you want (缺for the) following these reasons. 关于性格在这个问题上的分量,前后论证有矛盾的迹象;另外不要在第一段展开那么多,先用一句让步表示性格有一部分决定作用,然后就直接说还有更重要的因素,如下:。不过相比前面说到的,这第一段没有点题,你没有说你对题目观点的看法,很严重的审题错误。
First, in the society everyone needs friends to meet the demand of communication.So some people hold the idea that the more friends we have,the more convenient (缺it is)when we need communicating(能用名词的情况下就先不要用动名词,改communication).However,we also find (这个we比较象是科研/广告人员的语气,建议:it is true that) some people who have numbers (a number)of friends are still alone.Thought (?)the things bother them,they even can't find who can be trusted to tell(拗口,建议改为:When faced with troubles, they even can't find a trustworthy friend to confide them). Provided that the things trouble(定语从句,that trouble或troubling) us are private and secret,we prefer to talk with our close friends instead of a large number of casual acquaintances.At that time,we can see that how precious close friends are. 看到这里,才隐约看出你是赞成close friends?
Second, it depends on the cost you spending on (the) making friends (这句话的it指代什么?选择怎样的朋友?).One or two close friends will not occupy the most of your spare time and money spending (改spent) on the parties or other forms of being togethter (改and alike). On the other hand,it will take such a long time to say hello to a large number of friends,not even to say to have a hearted communication with them (是说在party上?要指明你说这句话的情况,不然怎么就无缘无故跟人打招呼了,而且没有人说你一定要一次性跟所有熟人都say hello。。。) . So having few close friends is more economical than too many friends(a large number of casual acquaintances) because we always get more benefits from our close friends.because后面的句子纯属多余,你这段的理由说的是朋友少省钱,并没有说他们带来的好处。暂且不论朋友和金钱的关系,这个经济上的理由很难成立,并没有人强制你和不熟的朋友party,也没有人肯定你不经常和很熟的朋友出去吃饭K歌。
Third,close friends are more significant in our daily life which is filled with competitions and credit crisisses. Only our close friends who we are getting long time with them, could we make sure the honesty and other precious characters of them.Then the more in-depth discussion and the more positive impact will be possible between close friends and us.Complete trust is the best feeling between few close friends and will never be among lots of casual friends who you acquaintant. Sorry,这段没法帮你改了,你想表达的观点是啥??也许我误会你了,但我感觉这一段是词穷了,把你熟悉的句子都丢一块儿就结了。。想说朋友之间的信任?那和第一段差不多。或者可以稍微改下,写close friends可以给你做榜样(这是点头之交所做不到的)。
In (the) conclusion,having one or two close friends is better than a large number of casual acquaintances.Thanks to the close friends,our life become more and more relaxed and beautiful. 最后这句可以不要了。。。帽子戴的太大了点

1,
Do you agree or disagree? Playing computer games is wasting time; children should not be allowed to play them.
$ T' |1 l1 F
Computer games are growing more and more prevalent and the related industry correspondingly becomes bigger(搭配不当,more prosperous). Playing computer games is usually a normal activity (为啥要说是正常的活动。。?) and also helpful to develop one’s reflection ability and practical capacity (?). But everything has a coin of two sides.(But every coin has two sides.) If you become addicted to playing computer games, then the problems such as wasting time and doing harm to the health of children will come up (注意人称的平衡,句首用you,后面用children,不妥). Hence, from my point of view, the trouble stated above cannot be blamed on computer games themselves; on the contrary, we should introspect ourselves from the self-control ability to the education (?). So it is natural to render my opinion of the issue that playing computer games cannot be depicted as wasting time and children may be allowed to play them as long as we can achieve self-control.
Computer games are designed for people to have pastime and obtain enjoyment. Therefore, playing computer games can help people better sparetime life(spare这里指节省时间?还是空余的时间?life前面是不是缺了什么东西?). For example, we students are the most customers (most用法有误,most regular)of the computer game industry and we find many computer games are very interesting and also can enhance various abilities such as imagination and organization. During the spare time, we will use such games for killing time (use这样用很中式,建议:we kill our spare time by playing games, as well as communicating XXXXX) and we will also communicate with roommates about the plots of the games or the designs of the games. Such activities can not only help us increase the affection of dormitory (不是对寝室的爱- -,是兄弟之情 friendship, brotherhood都可以) but also provoke the interest of studying (to study)the program of the computer games. Although we can provide many examples of students becoming languid and dropped behind in the learning of the major, it is unfair to totally ascribe such home(?) things to computer games. That whether wasting time or not depends on the individual who plays computer games suggests it’s not the attribute of computer games; instead we should be aware that the bane may be rooted in ourselves. So, if we want to solve the problem currently existing, we should elevate ourselves from various aspects.
As to the issue of children’s allowance to play computer games, my answer is the same as the one before. I absolutely agree with (缺the idea)that children should be allowed to play computer games because many computer games designed for the children mean (and meant) to help develop the diverse ability of the children. Computer games for children are always scientifically conceived (?) and if parents can effectively control the time of playing (缺逗号) the consequence of children’s playing computer games will be positive and make all satisfied, including the children, parents and the whole human beings(小孩怎么就扯到全人类了呢。。). So we hope our parents can accompany the children to play some computer games especial for children properly and help them healthfully grow up (grow up healthily).这段反复说了好多次游戏对小孩有益,那么具体有什么好处呢?比如说拼写单词的游戏,或者增强合作精神/game spirit,练习反应速度等等
In conclusion, playing computer games itself cannot be up there on the harm scale. As long as we can properly manage ourselves, such games will serve us helpfully.;
Do you agree or disagree The best way to travel is in a group led by a guide?
For the time being, tourism trend (trend多余) spreads (用进行时更好,描述这个状态) quickly and widely all around the world since people’s living standard has been promoted boomly (significantly). But when people are preparing to travel, they have to face to a choice: travel in a group led by a guide or just travel by themselves. I think this choice depends on everyboby him/herself (each individual). As to (for) myself, I would like better (prefer) to travel without a group.
Before some people plan to go to travel (这个before用的不妥,已经是计划去旅游,还在计划之前?), he or she (前后人称不平衡) does not prepare very well or say they do not want to prepare well at all. These people just hope to enjoy the travel itself but dislike to clear preparement up (prepare即可). For example, they would not like to seek comfortable hotels one by one on the Internet or design the travel routes or schemes by themselves. So they choose to sign up in a travel group led by a guide so that they (they指代的内容从游客转换成guide?) can throw these masses onto travel agencies or guides. There are some other people who have to join (in多余) a travel group because of their abilities or capacities (指disabilities?). For example, when some people travel aboard but they cannot speak the foreign language in that country, it will be helpful for them to take part in a travel group, which can eliminate many difficulties they may encounter. What is more (What's more不分开写), when they are travelling, it is joyable that the guide will introduce the native customs and scenic spots to them in their own language. 这一段是让步的观点,最好在开头加上表示让步语气的总起句,如:Admittedly, travelling with a group has its own advantages. 另外,作为让步论证,这一段写的太长太详细了点,和正方观点的篇幅已经一样了(单就论证本身而言是很好的)
\In the above cases, those people choose to travel by a group,which depend on their needs (不知道你是不是想表达这个意思:Some people choose to travel in a group based on their needs ). But in(on) the other hand, when some people enjoy packing up for travelling or they do not have language problems, they may choose to travel by themselves as I do. Every time, after I decide to travel, I spend a lot of time on preparing or planning my travel routes and on seeking for hotels on the Internet. I think it is a good opportunity to practice my independent ability. I do everything by myself.(这句放在after I decided to travel之后比较好) Besides, I attach much importance on freedom in the travelling. On the travelling (改用trip/journey), when I addict into (I'm attracted to)a marvellous scenic spot or some unknown place, I will stay there for several days until I have to go. However, when joining a travel group, I cannot enjoy this kind of “priority”. Also travelling by myself will help me escape from being coaxed to buy something that I do not really need. It cannot be denied that this is a disadvantage for travelling in a group led by guide.%
The choice to travel in a group led by a guide or not depend on the people themselves (is different for everyone). If they find there is a real need for them to join in a group, then they can sign up. But if there is no need, just like me, they can try to be a free traveller.

Should teachers be paid according to their students’ grades?(37)
4 l% S( C# k! w8 @
Teaching is considered one of the most respectable careers in most people’s heart, but in fact rather than receiving deserved respect from the community, teachers in China are surviving under overstressed situations in the examination-oriented educational system. Some people even make a suggestion that teachers should be paid according to their students’ grades. As far as I’m concerned, I disagree with this statement and my reasons are as follows.
First and foremost, this payment standard is unfair to teachers. It’s a commonsense (common sense) that different students will have different levels of ability to learn knowledge, so it’s simple that every class will have students who do well or (and) bad in exams. To those who don’t work hard in their courses or absorb knowledge slowly (这里or容易引起歧义,以为是否定句的一部分,可以把两部分位置颠倒一下), no matter how hard the teachers try, they (把前半句(不好好学习的孩子)代替这里的they,用句型:those who XXXX) still can’t get satisfied (satisfying) grades in the examinations. Since most of the teachers have to teach classes with (of,with的意思是老师和40个人一起教) more than 30 or 40 students, they can’t pay (+too) much attention on every (each) individual. And if teachers are paid based on the average performance, low-grade students will drag the class (建议:hold back the overall assessment), resulting in low payment for the teachers. If this situation goes on, teachers will begin to feel overstressed and depressed, and may even give up the job they once enjoyed.
While at the same time, students’ education will be effected negatively if teacher are paid based on the students’ performance. If teachers want to get high wages, they may begin to teach only what students need in order to help them get higher score, hence, students will miss out a lot education that can’t be measured in a test. Moreover, since teachers are always worried about their students’ test grades, they will ingnore students’ mental development and no longer takes time to communicate with students to find their problems in lives. Students who usually get low scores will also feel nervous and sad because they may feel that they have the responsibility for the lowing payments of their teachers. To make things worse, teachers will unconsiously treat students based on their grades, so bad students in their eyes will be ignored sometimes in the class. 这段论证很好,很详细但是不啰嗦
There’s no denying that teaching is a honorable task, for teacher shoulder the responsibility to transfer (bring) useful information to millions of students, but learning is a two- way process, which means students need to study by themselves after having (taking, have多表示有课的状态) classes in school. If one day, we use the students’ performance to determine teachers’ payment (我们习惯在中文里这样用use,但是其实这句型很不地道,建议:If one day teachers' payment is determined by students' performance), we will finally lose the pure essense of education and many wonderful teachers.
题目:computer games 好还是不好, F. h2 k+ o+ m2 Y$ z/ S _
谢谢08了~
首先,原题里有没有提到小孩是否应该被允许玩游戏?
With the advancement of new technologies, computer games are growing more and more prevalent and the associated industry correspondingly becomes more prosperous. Everything has its merits and demerits. In my opinion, it brings both positive and negative influences on people’s lives. 个人认为这类题目还是尽量避免中立观点,可以两边都说,但是结论是A胜过B,仅供参考啦
First (这个不用first比较好,因为这段是让步), there is no denying that playing computer rendering (is 就行了)a good way to relax and relieve pressure from daily life. Every time immersing myself in the amazing plot of the games, traveling with the heroes in the fantastic virtual world, I am totally free from the concern of everyday life. In addition, compute games help to bear (build)team spirit. When we play computer games as a team, we are able to identify our worth in a team and are able to develop our ability to work with(in,你是队伍的一部分) a team to be able to reach their(之前人称是we,这里要用our) common goal.
However, computer games may bring more disadvantages. 从这句看,你还是支持反方?如果是的话,考虑把这句在第一段末尾写出来。
First, engrossing in computer games may waste a lot of time and energy which should be put into (some多余) more meaningful things. Considering that the games are so fascinating, some people may spend too much time in front of the screen or even be (用become更好,表示spend too much的结果) addicted, resulting in lack of communication and less time for work, study and exercise. Especially for the children who have weak (ability of 多余) self-control, the game attracts too much of their attention, and they show little care of their primary mission--study; some of them may even drop in classes (skip classes,drop是指退课,drop in是指忽然拜访). Besides, the violence, sex and crime contents have extremely bad influence on the sound development of children.这是两个理由了(浪费时间,儿童不宜),不适合放在一段里面。
Second, watching (watch也得看有内容的,会动的东西不是?改成:staring at) computer screen excessively would do harm to us. For one thing, the large amount of radiation will drain the eyes and bring harm to the skin. According to the scientists, those who face computers all day long have 30% more chance to get cancer, and they are more likely to catch some physical diseases. For another, playing computers takes up too much time which should be spent to do some outdoor sports benefiting for their health. Instead of running or walking in the outside, they prefer to sitting in front of the computer. They feel weary and tired because of lack of exercise. 这一段写的是电脑游戏对身体的物理损害,论证得不错的,但是注意上一段你再说浪费时间的时候提到了exercise,和这段是一个意思,建议把那个词拿到,身心健康分两段论证。
Simply out (有这个搭配?simply put?), even though computer games are benefiting (beneficial) in some aspects, however, the demerits may outweigh the advantages (merit advantage最后前后平衡,选一个就行了). 结论表达了你的立场,同时篇幅也符合反方,那么你必须在开头也表明立场,说虽然有利有弊,但你认为弊大于利。

Books still dominate
While the thought “practical knowledge is more important than theoretical knowledge” enjoys quite a lot of supporters (support即可,不然就成了“享受拥护者”。。), I boldly(没必要) hold my personal opinion against this idea. To me books are still the more important learning source; it is more refined, more diverse and less expensive than our experience. Further more, they establish our spiritual world. 建立精神世界,后面似乎没有论证到,不建议在这里写出来。
First off (有这个表达方法?), books symbolize the rise of human culture and represent the marvel of human mind. Books along with the language that is used to create them share the same characteristic; they are both refined from our experience and act as carriers of knowledge. Only when humans used books did the knowledge start to become systematic and consistent, therefore learning from books is obviously more efficient and less time consuming than learning from experience. 建议:从最后一句开始着手写,如何efficient了(尤其是对学生来说),而不要用很宏观的大道理论证,这个比较难
Because the gaining of practical knowledge focus mostly on individual experience, its utility is often limited to certain cases. On the other hand, theoretical knowledge enjoys a wider range of application than practical knowledge. For instance, by watching an apple falling we can learn from the experience about how swift the object falls and next time we would be able to catch a falling ball. However, with Newton's laws developed from the same observation process we can determine how long an airplane needs to accelerate before it reaches the velocity required of flying, and even design rockets that can escape our planet's gravitational field. Although practical knowledge is deeply imprinted in our mind, it still needs to be theoretically modeled and therefore we can benefit more. 论证很好
What is more(What's more不要分开), developed from real experience as they are, books provide a way to simulate things that we may not be able to experience ourselves. It is easy to recall our first visit to our counselor; we were not sure whether we should take the geology course. Instead of samples of quartz or limestone he lent us an introductory book of geology. After reading we found ourselves not interested in the field and made the decision. Sometimes the cost of gaining knowledge from experience could be so high that we cannot afford. How cheap and useful would a book be when we enter a field unfamiliar to us! 个人觉得cheap用在这不太好,有点贬义,用affordable之类的较好(但是前文刚有afford,所以有些重复,原谅我暂时想不出更好的词。。。)另外,这个例子选的有点偏。因为看石头也是很可行的,还能激发兴趣,对你的观点不利。考虑其它例子,比如地球太阳的关系。
I am not stating that we should all try to achieve academic excellence at the sacrifice of our chance to experience the society and nature. On the contrary, experience is the most unique gift of our life. The reflection upon our own experience helps us better understand what we learn from books and vice versa, but as our lifespan is limited, learning from books is still a dominating way of efficient study. I think it would be a better choice to learn as much as we can from books and spend our valuable life experiencing where our true passion lies.

topic
a teacher's ability to relate well with the students is more important than excellent knowledge of the suject being taught. 额,这题貌似是我考试时候的题。
When it comes the ways for teacher (way to do what?建议:the methods of teaching之类的),a majority of people view that a good teacher should have the abilty to educate his or her students well.It is the first reason that the students will support this teacher (这句话可以放到让步那一段里,在开头不用这么展开).However,from my point of view,a better relationship with the students is more improtant than the excellent knowledge of the subject that the teacher has taught.As I will discuss below.
On one hand,there is no denying that the students can get a high mark or even achievement(可数-不可数放一起不平衡,另外“成就”指的什么?建议can get academic achievements) by being taught the excellent knowlege in the text book.Nevertheless,we should reconsider that the purpose of education.Only get high mark(缺s)?or to be a person who develops the abilities of different areas? 这问句打破沉闷,很好^^ Probably the teachers'resposibility is not only teaching the students how to learn the knowledge but also how to be a human-being that is useful for the development of the society.
On the other hand,The trust constructed between the teachers and students is the first and most impotant step .( 这一句应该承接上一段的意思,说师生之间的联系可以教会学生如何做人。建议:That's when a teacher's ability to relate well with the students comes into play. 然后叙述沟通的第一个重要性) it is universally acknowlege(缺d) that teachers is the best friends of students.We can find that the students'first response to the teachers are fear.They are fear of the teachers'blame (words多余) and also have not paid attention to them (后半句的意思是?主宾对象搞不清楚了).Thus,(缺定冠词)ability to get along well with the students become more and more important for teachers.(thus后面的可以省略,直接跟上下面的 a good relationship)A good relationship with the students can help the teachers know more about what their students'true feeling is.The teachers can help them solve their problem from the aspects of psylogical and physical(改成:physical and psycological problems).It is better for the students' future development.For example,Mr Lee,the headmaster of my class in the high school,who always told stories or experience of herself .She shared the thought created when she was the same old (age) as us.Her humorous speaking (speech) made us laughing (laugh) for a long time.I enjoy that kind of lesson.We have received (the things多余) more than knowledge.After returning to the lessons,we keep energetic and even feel no tired .The humorous story indeed improve our efficiency on the learning. 题目说的是relate well,你之前也说到做人的问题,那么这个例子里写出这两点了嘛?看最后一句你还是回到提高学习效率上面了。建议写写她的故事如何让你对自己的人生产生思考,帮助你培养不放弃,不灰心等等品质。
To sum up,from what the aboved we discussed (from what's dicussed above),we can safely draw a (the) conclusion that the ablity to relate well with the students is more significant than just teaching (注意than的前后动词平衡,前面是relate,是原形) their excellent knowledge of the subiect for a teacher(for a teacher离这句主要动词太远了,建议放在conclusion that for teachers, the ability to...).

能否帮我看看我这篇文章
题目Do you agree or disagree? There are times when lying is acceptable.
正文:
Have you ever seen that a person tells (seen a person telling)a white lie to make someone else happy? It has become a common phenomenon in that such lies do not leave a bad impact. I believe that under some circumstances lying is absolutely proper on account that a white lie avoids some unexpected consequences and lying is also reasonable to keep a good relationship, although mostly lies are not appropriate.
(这里加个 To begin with 之类的词组比较好)Telling white lies may prohibit unexpected consequences. Such lies are often common when encountered health affairs (when health issues are involved). This year my grandmother is unexpectedly diagnosed that she is infected with liver cancer which is still in a stage that can be cured. To avoid the possibility that my grandma falls into the belief that she is near the end of her life and lose her confidence to fight against the diseases, all the relatives in my family agree that we should tell her old diseases haunting her again instead of the truth. As a result, she, without any fear, cooperates with the doctors perfectly and finally regains her good health condition. (这编的有点扯了,09年才过了7个月不到,老人家就从确症到完全康复了?) If she were exposed to the fact, she would (我觉得语气用may更好一些) not have the courage to earn the victory. Consequently, when lies can enable a person to regain vitality and life back, they are fully acceptable.
Moreover, lying is also reasonable when showing(注意showing的主语,谁?lying?) faith in the relationship. In terms of friendship, in order to keep secrets for friends, lies should be employed, since friendship is constructed on the basis of trust, which is why friends are prone to share secrets. Revealing the secrets is equalized to the betray (betrayal) of friends. When it comes to (affairs of 多余) company, employees have to keep all their secrets of products within the office building and under the depth of heart (deep in heart), otherwise the lies (哪里提到谎言了?前面说的是公司机密) would not only negatively influence the competition and function of the firm in markets but also eliminate the colleagues' future(s) (缺opportunity)to work in the same field. Thus, in such situations, white lies are completely suitable to represent the loyalty to certain relations. 这两个例子都缺一个论证的环节,就是秘密和white lie之间的关系。最好说一下,比如在公司这件事情上,员工被外人问起公司情况,就需要讲white lie ,是对公司忠诚的一种手段。
Albeit, in others conditions, lies should be utterly inhibited. People are educated to be honest on a majority of incidence confronted in life from the early ages. Honesty should be the first and most significant belief that a person should strictly follow throughout their life, otherwise they be ultimately eliminated by the whole society.
In a nutshell, lying is proper in some situation, whereas in most cases ordinary person have to be honest.

Is television bad for children?
With the help of mass media, people get more and more access to the outside world. While at the same time, the issue of whether these inventions have brought postive or negative effects to people, especially young generations, raises serious controversy. Some people may consider television as a beneficial innovation, for it indeed releases parents and provides large amount of informantion to children, but as far as I’m concerned, television has more negative impacts on children and my reasons are as follows.
First of all, children have received much false information from TV which is bad for their development. Because of the comparatively loose policy of the contents of TV programs, children are exposed to a large amout of violent and sexual alluring contents that cause great negative influence on them. For example, boys who always watch the scenery of fights or quarrels are more tend to perform aggressive behavior toward others, and girls who are so attracted in the romantic plots of TV series will often imagine themselves as the main characters that they can’t get out of the illusion. Once these mistaken information are ingrained in chidren’s mind, it would be hard for parents to transmitt the accurate view to their children. 这段第一句稍微总结的有点偏,这些是improper information, not false info.
In the second place, parents always find it more difficult to communicate with their children if the kids watch so (too)much TV. It’s obviously (obvious) that children (will多余了) can’t help but indulge in the television if they form a(the) habit of watching TV every day. So, it’s not hard to imagine that young children run directly to home after school just for their favourite cartoons or TV series. Whenever parents want to talk with their sons or daughters about the things happen(ing) in (the多余) school, they would receive no reply since their children are focusing on variouos shows. If this situation keeps going on, parents may force their children to stop watching TV, resulting in damage to parents-children relationship.
In addition, TV itself is a harmful devise to children’s health. Young people who watch TV for a long time are easier to get myopic eyes and gain weight. That’s why chidren who spend 3-4 hours watching TV get the nickname as Couch Potato. Moreover, the invisible radiowaves given out from TV are destructing children’s health without noticing (注意主语是电波,应该是without being noticed).
Admittely, TV has brough some benefits to children. Scientific documentaries and latest news provide useful knowledge to children and may even stimulate their interests in study. But since the disadvantages outweighs its advantages, we can safely draw the conclusion that TV is bad for children.

刚写的 请斑斑 过目
families and work 希望下次把题目写完整哦
429
Career and families are both important factors in our lives, but which one is more important in our modern society? Some people hold a point that working at job is more important than being with families, however, I totally disagree with this view. Families are unique to me, (缺连词,或者逗号改句号) they help me when I hesitate or trapped by troubles, and they would never leave me no matter rich or poor.
When I'm living with my families (单数), the problems of the work and the pressure caused by competition are totally get off (是想表达忘记烦恼的意思?建议:..... the peer pressure from work completely disappears). My only feel is relax and warm (注意这里feel 和relax是动词,需要名词话). At home, enjoying the time with families is my dream (dream太过宏大,用wish之类的好些) and I think it must be many other people's dream. Although I have to work from Monday to Friday, and the job limits my time, it is (does)not mean the career is more important than the families. I would like to improve the quality of our lives and create more beautiful future through (by) working hard at this period. The job is the process and the families is the destination. 通常分论点在每段的第一句说比较好,但是这里放在结尾启下也不错
Moreover, I could receive many useful advices and suggestions from my parents and other families (family members, family是一个抽象的集合概念)because they (are the persons who 多余) understand me most. For instance, when I was in college, I (缺am)always worried about my future like other adolescents. At that period(time), I waste(d) amount of times (a large amount of time)only (on多余) imaging(imagining) (the pictures of 多余) future or dreaming I could achieve more than I had paid(付出?endeavored比较好,pay太具体). My parents had recognized my abnormal activities and talked to the psychologist about my situations. And then they gave the professional suggestion to me, those (改which)are the crucial suggestions to help me overcoming the problems and passing(going) through the hard time. This circumstance directly proved that families could give us effective advices in time and they also influence us. 这段论证的是family有什么好处,不是family为什么比career重要
In addition, families would never ever leave you. No matter rich or poor, our families are the best supporters without need us to payback (asking for payback). In our modern society, people use to judge (are used to judging) a people with (by) the educational status, the property you have or your position. If you fall(fail?) in your work and become poverty(poor), many people will leave you, at that time, only the families bolster you (这里要么重新开始一句,要么by providing...) they provide money, room, and the most important(ly,) kindness. All of these could help you (to多余) handle the problems and make great achievement. 同理,这一段需要说一下在不离不弃这个case下工作和家庭的不同。可以说说工作很难有长期保障,而家庭是如何的从一而终。
To sum up, based on the discussion mentioned above, it is doubtless (缺that) families are the most important wealth to everyone, families are(又两个动词share一个句子了) the unique things around work (around做何解?) which could not be replaced by any other people or objects(anything else).

Do you agree or disagree?
Subjects such as art, music, and drama should be a part of every child's basic education.
Have you ever seen that a young adult who has just strided into society adle away their leisure time? It has become common phenomenon in that they have never got chances into fields directly related to edification of human soul (确定?never语气太强烈;又,原来这个开头是模板啊。。。汗). Subjects such as art, music, and drama are preliminary(为什么是初步的?essential之类的可能更好点?) for children (to learn during their pursuit of education 多余) on accout that creativity triggered by such disciplines paves the way to success and potential interests would be dug out, although students should not spend all their time on such subjects..
建议加个firstly之类的 Capability of creativeness and innovation would be given rise by learning (taking)such lessons, which guarantees future self-achievement (how?个人建议把这句拿掉). In the education system of the United States, courses directly related to mental development of students are always given priority. Not only does an (a) qualified secondary student have to gain enough credits on accedamic studies, but one also has to expose themselves (前后数量不平衡) into the mansion of arts. Why? (It is多余) because (缺of the)power of coming up with brilliant ideas, (逗号改and)bringing new light to development of the whole nation. That is why American universities are constantly regarded as a factory producing talents whom the rapid development and improvement of different fields depend on. No wonder quite numbers of Nobel Prize winner are graduated from first-class universities in America. 这两句赞扬美国大学,但是和艺术课程有什么关系?别的国家都不上艺术课?你要写得应该是上艺术课怎么会激发原创力(虽然这是看似很直接的东西但是必须写出来),而不是说美国大学怎么好 It is obvious that subjects like art, music, and drama should be placed great attention, otherwise a country would lose the engine of creating a more promising future. 这句就是之前的重复,累赘了
In addition, students would own more interests (do you mean "develop more hobbies"?) enriching their leisure time. In art classes, students would obtain opportunities to have a good knowledge of art history and comprehension of life experience of art giants, which open a door for them to appreciate renowned works. During (the time of 多余) music lessons, teenagers could gain chances to taste the master pieces of music, which enables them to expose themselves into the mansion of (be exposed to)symphonies, sonatas, and chamber music. After lectures related to dramas, young adults are able to taste the happiness and thrill of acting some characters, which digs out the potential interests of performance. Consequently, attending such classes would edify children’s soul, illuminating their pastimes. 你只说到了艺术课堂上的活动,那么这如何和课后联系起来呢?最好写写孩子上课之后很感兴趣,回家还会想接着听音乐啊啥的,渐渐的就培养成hobby了
Albeit, there should be a limit of time for children spending on such lessons. As is known to all, learning accedmic knowledge, laying a solid foundation to their future careers, should rank(s) first on the list of taskes that students should perform. Distributing more time on arts could distract students time from preparing for the entrance examination for(into) universities. Accordingly, it should be acknowledged that fundemental lessons ought to be concentrated by students, with accompany of relaxation from artististic disciplines.
In a nutshell, it is essential for children to learn subjects such as art, music, and drama. However, they should still keep in mind that their job is to conquer the knowledge of accedmic lessons so that they have to draw a line between the twl sorts of lessons.这个划清界限,太过份了点。。。而且art history也算是academic的,所以建议写到学习中心应该在academic上即可。

LZ真是救了我,感激不尽!
Agree or disagree
Telephones and e-mail make the communication between people less personal
1. 在长期的科技发展中,始终有很多类似于科技使人们的生活更有效率了或者适得其反,其中的典型就是关于交流方式的改变。
2. 不论是电话或者邮件,他们都是可以即时交流的,也就是说根本不存在更加less personal的可能,因为是否需要面对面的交流完全取决个人,而它们只是一个选择。
3. 纵然是这些电子设备使人更加懒惰了,但是科技的发展已经几乎解决了这个问题,我们已经可以实现完全视频和音频的交流了。
4. 科技在某些时候带来麻烦,但是大多时候,科技是顺应人类的需求的,科技为我们提供另外一种生活的方式,并非剥夺我们选择的权利。
In the long term of technology development, there is always some voice about (that,因为后面跟的是一个句子)the new technology does not actually make our life more efficiency but on the opposite side make our life worse. And one of the most typical questions is whether the fresh way, telephone and e-mail, of communicating (前后连续两个communicate,念起来也不顺口,这个“of communicating ”可以去掉)is making our communication less personal. From my angle along(alone?多余了), I cannot agree (缺with) it at all. So there go my reasons.
First of all, I have to correct the topic (话题是用来讨论的,本身不存在对与错,不要去纠正它) they are holding that new communication tools make our communication less privacy(private). Because we have never been forced to use them. They provide us (缺with)convenience and people take (make)their choice to bestow them. Most of the time, we make easy decisions on the phone or e-mail, but we do not rely on them to help us meet less. For example, many company masters use the e-mail and phones to talk about when and where to have a conference, even revise the contract with phone. These new technologies give us much convenience and never deprive any right of choosing(to choose) from (deprive...of)us.
What is more(What's more), due to the booming technology evolvement, we have solved the problem that we cannot see the target on the phone or on the internet which could be a kind of inconvenience which has never been denied 这句太绕了,什么目标看不见?并且套用两个定语从句有些不妥. So what is the problem with these new things? We are able to see our family when there is long distance between us. We can even hold a summit on the internet if we want. Definitely, we are going to make it even more naturally like touching and smelling. Less personal would never be a problem. 长距离的point 很好
All in all, it is difficult for us to doubt that new technology does bring troubles to us before. But negative effect could not be overestimated 这句有点拗口,. Because what the technology is working on is fulfill (aims at fulfilling)whatever (the多余) humans want. They just make us(相比us,应该是our lives更妥贴) better than ever before. 这里最好点到关键词personal
