额滴神啊，写到倒数第二段结论时，突然发现之前我跑题了。。。哭。。。

1.23 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to make friends with intelligent people than with people who have a good sense of humor.

As for me, I can easily make friends with intelligent people or people who have a good sense of humor, because I am considered to be a person who can make my friends laugh and feel comfortable while in communication. So, based on my experience, I hold the contrary opinion towards the topic that it is better to make friends with people who is humorous.

Intelligent people own a common characteristic that they are used to concentrate carefully before commencing on something, even making friends. According to their logical and reasonable thoughts, it is possible that they may treat the friend with serious attitude. Like my tutor, who is really excellent in his research fields, forms a distinctive way of himself to get contact with his colleges. I have had a chance to take part in a dinner for celebrating the achievement made by some eminent students. During the whole dinner time, one humorous profession told some jokes in order to make the whole circumstance easier, as you know, students always felt nervous when sitting with their tutors. However, my tutor found it boring to tell jokes, and he continued to ask the details about the conception of the achievement, which impressed other professor with a over-rigid attitude. I guess that's why my tutor has less ground in our department because his colleges didn't want to make friends with him. As a contrast, that humorous professor gained a lot supports.

Humorous people have a magic weapon to make people laugh. They show a personality of easygoing attitude at least superficially. I think that one of the major purposes to make friends is that when you feel depressive, a friend nearby is expected. I am a truly example of this type of friend. I have witnessed many friends' lower periods. They told me that once they felt sorrow, I was the first person they thought about. The reason is obvious, they counted me to make them laugh, and they didn't want to cry any more. No matter you believe or not, I can definitely make they laugh, like I mentioned, as a person with a sense of humor, it's a piece of cake for me to encourage them in telling some meaningful jokes. In the contrast, I don't regard the intelligent people can do this job, for they probably tend to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the problem. After all, whoever likes to be taught when they feel uncomfortable? Then, owning some humorous people as friends is better at the time.

In sum, making friends with a humorous person will bring much fun in our lives. So I deem that it is better to make friends with people who have a good sense of humor.

1.24 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students would receive a better, effective education if they were required to attend classes for 11 months of a year.

Since the advanced development of modern society, more and more knowledge are supposed to learn by human beings. Some people suggest that if students were asked to attend classes for 11 months a year, they would receive a better, effective education. However, I hold the contrary opinion that longer time can only bring in tiredness and boring mold, which prevent students form learning effectively, or command more knowledge.

It is very important that study should be combined with amusement. There are some reasons. First, people need some time to rest in order to recover the energy which exhausts on the learning process. Just like our daily life, sleeping is required for us to take a release. Only recharged with full power after 8 hours relaxation, we are able to walk, talk, study and concentrate on things. Second, continuously studying is always regarded as a boring thing, especially when people encounter problems, it is easier for people to behave impatient. For this moment, entertainment will play a crucial role in adjusting people's mood. By obtaining a pleasant feeling, people will possibly preoccupied again on this problem, maybe in another fresh way. Take a break is necessary, especially for the students who pursue their study for one semester incessantly. Like two-month summer vocation which is significant for them to relax, readjust themselves, in order to prepare well for the next.

Additionally, students have lots of activities to take part in beside attending classes. For example, we are always required to gain some intern work experiences before we graduate. Thus, the most effective way to accomplish this requirement seems to participate some organizations or companies. And we can't guarantee we may get a chance to enter a company because we only have 30 days off. The boss of the company will certainly to take the profit into account, that is how many things we could do for him after not-a-short-time training. That's the truth, we must leave when we get the skills taught by company. Considering that the intern work is a component of education, which teaches us how to communicate, or how to adapt to the society, I think one month off is not appropriate for our better education.

In sum, I believe a better, effective education is not accumulated by the time, because continuous working always makes us tired enough and reluctant to do anything. Furthermore, after attending classes for 11 month, we only want to relax. Then, less time will be spent on the intern work in which society will educate us more sophisticated. So, I disagree with the statement that students would receive a better, effective education if 11 month study is required.

1.25 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It’s better to use own knowledge and experience to solve question, or ask other people for advice.

Everyone has his own specialty in particular field, and no one is suggested to know everything. So sharing knowledge and experience is important for us when we have encountered a problem. Thus, I hold that it's better to ask other people for advice before perfectly solving the problems.

The appearance of problem usually indicate that we have done something wrong. If we insist on dealing with the difficulty according to our own knowledge, nothing may change because the same way as before we utilize. Like vocabulary spelling problems, which was considered to be a hard work to distinguish the similar words in English courses. For example, I kept spell the word "adopt" instead of "adapt", Until one day my teacher told me a effective way to recite the differences by imagining the word "o" to a meaning of breeding. Thank to my teacher's advice, I kind of remember the word deeply. Each time I recall these similar memories, I believe that my owe knowledge and experience are insufficient to support me to solve the question. It's a better way to ask for advice.

Some people may argue that once a person can solve the question all alone, he can possible advance for the success. However, I still deem that other's advice is also significant on the way to success. To be a successful man would possess a prerequisite that he dose have an excellent personal abilities and a humble attitude to adopt other people's recommendations. That is why every corn of company is composed of several talent people, like lawyers, investors, and marketing managers. Though taking all these people's advices into account, the leader has a higher possibility to solve the questions the company is faced. In contrast, even the leader regarded him as a capable man, he cannot guarantee that he specializes in every aspects related to the question.

In sum, I hold that when problem comes, we'd better ask someone else for advice, for that our knowledge may not sufficient. In addition, there are many other people who are more familiar with the problem than we are, and their suggestions may shed a light on the measures to solve the problem.

1.26 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People spend more time on personal enjoyment rather than what they should do.

With the advancement of the internet skill, most people spend their time enjoy themselves on the net by playing games, watching movies and listening to music. As to this situation, some experts point out that people should concentrate on their jobs, and people are going to spend more and more time on personal enjoyment rather than what they should do. However, I disagree with that conclusion, because I believe the experts have exaggerated the fact.

Since we live in a modern world full of abundant materials, some people might criticize that our ambitious goals and our motivators are losing day by day. They think human beings seem to be easily satisfied and like to spend time on personal enjoyments, like students. Admittedly, students' life appears more colorful. They are always busing in attending parties, going to shopping, playing games. Although these social activities may occupy much of their time, they still have to strive hard for graduate. For that every college have its own prescriptions that set a level requiring to be attained, the students have no chance to graduate easily. Along with the promoted ability requirement, students should spend more time on the study to ensure their successful graduating. So, enjoyment is only considered as a way to relax themselves from time to time. learning things has to be their first choice.

After graduate, students will change a social role to be a worker. Actually, everyone has to work to earn his life, except those who still rely on their parents. As we know, high-developed technology brings us fierce competition in modern society. Once lacking the leading skill, one is entirely possible to be refused by the employers. Nowadays, people are realistic, they would be reluctantly risking their lives by spending more time on personal enjoyments. In contrast, they'd like to spare no effort to learn new things, expand their knowledge, and work very late to guarantee their positions in company. I have seen many people around me get some extra work in weekend, like my best friend, Sun, she always complained the unkind direction giving extra staffs and worked industriously to accomplish. To her, less time spent on personal enjoyment is OK, only if she could have done an excellent work for compensation.

In sum, people have a responsibility to work for themselves, which is to finish their study in school and work well to earn their lives. All these requirements ask people to do their important things like learning and working. And naturally, less time will be allocated to personal enjoyment.

1.27 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Governments should spend more money in support of arts than in support of athletics such as state-sponsored Olympic teams.

Olympic games is considered to be a great competition worldwide, excellent athletics bring the highlight as well as honor to their own countries. Considering that a strong and developed nation should exhibit its power in every aspects, and contrary to art, winning in the Olympic games will gain more fames to a country, I hold that governments should spend more money in support of athletics such as state-sponsored Olympic teams than in support of arts.

Nowadays, the competition between the nations transforms to that of integrated power in peaceful manner. Such as Olympic games, every country wants to show their capabilities in every aspects of athletics. Because they deeply understand once if they win, they might claim a leading position exclusively. Like America, which has mad a great assignment particularly in race and swimming contest, and always taken the fist place. On the other hand, our country, China, spend more and more money on the athlete training and expect we grow strong enough to beaten the America one day. Finally, we attained the goal in the Olympic games in 2008, which means a lot to us. First, we have shown our perseverance and desire to success, and we possess the leading skills in controlling Ping Pong balls and other activities. Second, we make the whole world know that China is growing stronger all the time through the incessantly success in athletics. To maintain the national spirits advance, governments should spend more money in supporting the athletics.

However, arts is also regarded as human's necessity as well as athletics. People need the arts to make their psychological life abundant, like movies, performance, musical festival, and also, athletics is also demanded for building a stronger and healthy body. As far as I am concerned, a healthy body is an indispensible basis for the enjoyment of arts. For example, my mother didn't exercise much, each time I persuaded her to go out for a walk, she refused by promoting that there was no sports facilities available nearby. Then she got weak day by day, and finally got a disease which made her headache from time to time. At the same time, she gave up her favorite music for the voice would led pain to her head. So, only a healthy life will help to appreciate the arts. Obviously, more money should be spent on the athletics such as sport-related infrastructures.

In sum, athletics will bring us more advantages, like building our healthy life, stronger our national power, so, I deem that more money should be spent in support of athletics than arts.

这种题目越看越恶心，飘忽不定，抓不住论点，论证方面我也没有资格再说了，我自己对这个题目都不怎么有把握，但是唯一要说的是，文章的“中国味”还是有点浓，很多表达方式都不是很地道，感觉有很多句子都是中文的逻辑，然后再直接翻译过来。最理想的情况是要让别人看了感觉是一个english native speaker在讲中国的事情，而不是一个中国人，虽然用的是英文，但是仍然用中文逻辑在陈述。自己总结了一点，其实外语学到后面阶段，已经不是语法的问题了，而是逻辑的问题，要学会native speaker的逻辑，这样表达才能地道。不过写得仍然很不错。加油！

2.1 Do the movies and television have more negative effect than positive effect on the young people?

I have a little sister, who spent too much time on watching TV when she was a child. The consequence was that she didn't work well on her study, because she was distracted by the movies and programs in television. So, as far as I am concerned, movies and television have more negative effect than positive effect on the young people.

Lack of self-control, young people are always appealed by the movies and television which easily make them forget to do the things they should do. When I was young, my parents and teachers kept instructing me that study is the most important thing in front of me. I was supposed to acquire knowledge as more as I could. However, I was not really understanding the profound meaning of the knowledge, in contrast, the colorful pictures in television attracts me deeply. Generally, I expect to watch the cartoons once I was home. Then, I became careless at my class, just like my little sister, I found it was impossible to concentrate on my homework anymore. Because each time I attempted to focus on my assignment, I couldn't help memorizing the appealing plots in cartoons I had seen. Finally, my mother noticed my situation and cancelled my movie time. I didn't rebel like my little sister. And I believe that's why I studied well again. Television has produced some bad effects on me for a period when I was young.

Movies and television lead more negative effect on people's health, especially on the young people. Generally speaking, adults have stopped to grow higher, yet the young people have not. Young people should spare no effort to exercise themselves in variety of aspects, such as doing physical exercises, mental training, which assist them to constitute stronger body. All those exercise have a great influence on the young people than adults according to some biological reasons. So, young people should aware of that and spend more time in exercise than just sitting in front of Television. An attractive movie has a power to make young people sit still for couple of hours. It is harmful to the young people since they need exercise from time to time to guarantee their body healthy. Don't neglect the significant time for young people transferring to adults.

Admittedly the movies and television have some positive effects that they broad young people's horizons, colorful their entertainment. But considering the greater negative effect they make on young people, such as distraction and doing harm on their health, I hold that movies and television have more negative effect that positive effect on the young people.
