Topic: Some intensive English programs in the United States offer a foreign student the option of living with an American family while he or she is studying abroad. Many students feel that such a home-stay program is a valuable part of their total learning experience. However, others may feel that such a plan offers little value. In a short essay, discuss one or two advantages of living with an American family and then state one or two disadvantages. Tell whether you are in favor of or opposed to the idea of home-stay. Give examples to support your opinion.



Is it that foreign students living with native American families while they are studying abroad necessary? My answer is no. Living with local families troubles both the student and the family. More details about the reason are following.

The calenders of a student and a family can not always be synchronous. Even in the evening, students usually have classes, families work in the daytime and rest in the evening, sometimes, it is hard for a family to take care of their baby and when you come back home late in the night. Even worse, If you get drink in the bar after evening classes, that cloud be a disaster to old people who you live with. In the other way, you should pay attention to the house or change your own calender while the house owner is out .  One of my classmate came to United States last year to pursuit his master’s  study, unfortunately, he lives with an old couple who do not have good health, the old man was sent to the hospital one day because my friend stayed up too late and made too much. It seems ridiculous, but it is true. Then the boy had to move out, he now is living with several college friends in an apartment, “Everything is over. Life now is full of happiness” he said in the email that he sent to me last week.

Young people are fond of freedom, but living with a family, you will lose your freedom and make yourself a poppet. Get up early, say “morning” to your American families, take care of everything, get to school in time, and then go back home in the afternoon, have dinner together, finish homework and get to bed. Everything is different that you live alone. You can invite your friends play guitar after school or have picnic in the country side during the weekends. Fresh air and beautiful sunshine takes away exhaustion and anxiety, as young people, we should get more relax as releasing the pressure. Chinese students like cooking at home, living alone is perfect to prepare fantastic dinners and good parties. Let’s make life dance.

Living with American family is not a good choice to foreign students. Young students may bring troubles to local families. They distort regular life - stay up too late. One the other side, common family life limits the young’s space as well - it is not easy to gather friends together and take party at home.

题目问电脑是好是坏？
Knowledge that a person should gain in his or her life usually comes from books, practicing in daily life and what your parents, teachers or friends tell you. The methods of  gaining knowledge never change during the last thousand years. But things have been different since 1940’s because computer has been our new way of communication. It’s a common sense of searching everything that you want online nowadays. With the rapid development of internet technology, information online provide us a a huge library where we can get knowledge and color our leisure time.  

As a college student, I usually need many books to find what I need for essay-writing, these books are heavily to be carried, the best way to keep them with me is to save them in PDF format and upload to my online disk. I can read them in my laptop and mobile phone everywhere.

It’s not so hard to find the exact book or ebook on Amazon online shop, just click your mouse, the book is ready to sent your house. All you need to do is provide your credit card number.

Information online shared with friends usually keep us up to date. I have over one hundred friends on facebook which is the most popular social networking online. We share photographs and games each other, so that we could easily to know what the people who we are interested in are doing.

Not only communicate by group in community, but also communicate by one to one. Sending an email spends less than one second, chatting online is more effective for instant information-sharing.

At present, most young people are involved in a new form of information-gathering, that is micro-blog, such as Twitter. Register a new id, you could update anything you find or you know on it. information people are sharing on Twitter can display on your computer, PDA and mobile phone. We are able to get knowledge everywhere.

In my viewpoint, though internet information exploded in past ten year, but it shows advantages overweigh disadvantages. computer makes the whole world more closely and easily touchable.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people should try several different jobs before they take a long term career.

Quite a few people try several jobs after they graduate from universities. Both the experiences and the time that spent on selection of proper careers make they more sophisticate and professional. I am one of them and I intend to support the opinion that different jobs before a long term career is necessary for young people.

Young people gain totally different in society from what they learn in universities, because universities provides us knowledge rather than experience. People may choose majors when they get into college or university, the majors like engineer or design, usually need experience as well as knowledge, unfortunately, absence of  facilities and seasoned faculty are the problems for these majors to help  students prepare perfectly before they begin their personal professional career.

Most people choose the very exact field they study in school as their job, but occupation  probably does not sound like the one you known before. One of my friend Ming studied computer science and planed for his future when he was a senior in school - worked as a programmer designer in a company after graduation, invariable work flow and extremely principles made him rethink the career. Now as shopkeeper of computer games store, he gained freedom, fun rather than money.

People usually worry about the time that spent on the inconstant job-hopping, especially  the females. To my way of thinking, it is  unnecessary. Inapposite career, however, will waste more time. To begin a undelighting occupation means struggling in the rest of your life, and you will be surrounded by boring and  pain, young people should take seriously the business, uneven life or smooth life?

What I am trying to explain is be thoughtful on your career and try different jobs. Young people have less experience though they have more knowledge, college can not afford you everything, you probably do not know what your favorite is before your real life begins,try more and seize the opportunities to find the real interest; wasting time is a requirement on this. Choose a job career is choose a life.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Newspapers and magazines are the best way to learn about a foreign country?

As the globalization become more and more main idea of the economic lives in our society, people are strongly required a huge background knowledge about different cultures. Since there are a large number of methods to gain these information, like newspapers and magazines. In my opinion, Internet is the best way of learning a foreign country among all the ways.

To understand a foreign country well, live in that country for a while or make some friends who are from that country are better ways than reading newspapers or magazines. On the other hand, newspaper and magazines are transformed into digital version at present due to less spending and less pollution. Internet, however, meets all the requirement above.

Internet is a sign of this high-technology world. Information spread the whole world extremely fast than any other media. For instance, people just click the mouse, your greeting cards will be send to friends on the other side of the earth immediately. Twitter, a popular micro-blog, provide people create information and spread it to your social network, not only the ones on Twitter website, but also these are using Twitter app on personal cellphone or ipad, so everyone in any place can get the information.

Most information online is free, you do not have to worry about your money spent on learning it.  Compare with the old time, people usually spend much money on newspaper, and even more on magazines. Besides that, a few of tools online help us arrange the information by sort, like Google provides us a service - Google Reader, just subscribe anything you like online, you will get the latest updates, in that way, you definitely miss nothing.

Chatting online with foreigners is much easier to find one in the real world. Some BBSs offer opportunities to strangers from different countries to be friends. People involve in such an interaction way would probably know each other’s country better. Moreover, they can be friends in the real world and have trips to each other’s country.

For these reasons that I just select from daily life, Internet totally a suitable method for modern people to learn foreign country, and I won’t overstate it. For using free, quick and connivence way to gain knowledge, Nothing is better than the Internet.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Younger School children (age five to ten) should be required to study art and music in addition to math, science, history and language.


Early education usually raise (改为raises) hot debate in the society at present. People have two main viewpoints on (改为about) this. (加Some people argue that) younger children had better take art education, like drawing and dancing, as a plug to school study. Another group (加of) people are holding (改为hold) the opinion that children should focus on the main study rather than taking useless art lessons. After carefully thinking on this, I support the first one that is art education is necessary for younger children. I will give several reasons.



Not only the science knowledge should (改为should the science knowledge) be gain to improve one, but also the art one. Early education should be as multiple as possible. Younger children has (改为have) a strong ability to learn anything. Psychologists make an experiment on offering children different images and variety of music to test their cognition, the result is their brain cortexes are extremely active during the experiment. Early art education probably is the best way to develop children’s art talent, help parents find out what the child really like and built the partially foster plan for them as well. A large number of children, especially in China, are forced to learn those very useful lessons, like math, history, geography and so forth. These subjects do help children build up the same scale of knowledge blueprint, neither the integrity nor the character.
Society do (does)
not need these undeveloped individual.



Art improves emotion, advanced the method of cognition and even boosts the science. For instance, music, as Plato refers to bacchus, is a way of relaxing and expression. Everyone in this high-developed society requires to express (改为expressing )
since the life is heavy. Children do have to learn this kind of
expression; otherwise they will probably suffer depression when they are grown-ups. Painting, Sculpture and any other art forms enhance children’s appreciation and improve their life. People who understand art may have more life interest, like going to galleries, attending conferences and any other doings. Artistic concepts and ways also inspire the people’s daily life, even the(删)
their professions.



The Reason that why art education for (加a)young child is undoubtedly for people now. Art education is a necessary step in every young children’s (改为child’s ) life. Please do not delete children’s talents and the opportunities to approach a better life-professional ways of thought, higher EQ.

09.04.03NA   Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to improve the quality of education in a country is to increase teachers' salaries.

Education issue never fade from this society. Majority people think that education plays an important role in forming personality and helping with individual achievement. To improve education means not only can the capable people be significant to the society, but also the ordinary ones who want a splendent life. Both individual and  society pay attention on education. Since parent is the first teacher in human stage, as far as I concern, the most influenced is teachers in school. In order to improve the quality of education, we should primarily improve the quality of teachers, for instance,improve the facilities or improve the salaries of teachers. Neither of them, however, is the best way. The best way to improve a county’s quality of eduction in a country is based on improving the motivation of students.

High salaries do help the teachers devote all to education. He or she may be more responsible, students will be patiently treated. It will partially improve the students motivation and be propitious to education. On the other hand, high salaries usually foster pride and attract more people to be a teacher, however, as the group of teacher becoming larger, the quality of teachers will be questioned, and say nothing of the quality of education. At least, the prize and punishment are strongly required. So mere high salaries incompletely ravels out the education problem.

I stand by the side that the indispensability of the improving the quality of education is students’ motivation. Motivation is the most fundamental requirement throughout one’s whole life. In school, what gains from teacher is just help you open the door of knowledge, the exploration of knowledge depend on one’s own. Students themselves need to work hard, read more and write more. Be patient on dealing with problems, and frequently ask for help. Seeking a good method in studying is also a requisite.

Family environment is another elements of improving quality of education. If a parent addict to alcohol, he or she then does not care about his or her child, without the participation of parents, the quality of education is hardily to improve.

Teachers should avoid of delivering students boring classes. Beside that, government and community should participant in the business as well due to help with the students’ motivation. Celebrity gives lecture to young people in college, enterprises and education organizations organize multiple competitions and workshops to make the study more fun.

Even if the teachers receive high salaries, to improve the quality of a county’s education based on many other different aspects, parents, teachers, government and society, and do not forget the essential and necessary aspect, that is the motivation of learning of individual student.

09.01.17 NA   Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising is the most important cause of unhealthy eating habits.

Advertising is one of the most distinguish characteristics of modern life. We can not deny that advertisements are everywhere. People usually receive many advertisement printed on paper when they shopping or having meals in restaurants. Advertisements appears when you click and they sometimes dump up and down on your computer screen in order to attract your attention, television programs are fulfill with advertisement and even television program itself are advertisement. More and more people study advertising in college start their career in advertising. High technologies are introduced into advertising due to make advertisements more attractive and impressive.It is undoubted that advertising are playing an important role nowadays. It changes people’s life a lot and is going to change more. Whether advertising causes unhealthy life is being questioned by more and more people. From my viewpoint, it is incompletely correct. It also relates to personal life habits. I want to give my details as following.

Advertising, frankly speaking, cause many changes, especially on people’s daily life. Corn or rice products are introduced into every family, they say that these products are easy to prepare, contain enough nutrient and provide calories for working and doing sports. Majority people are stay up and get up late, they do not have enough time to cook breakfast or even three meals. The products meet their requirement. We can not deny that advertising providing healthy information sometimes, expertise in  advertising offers public knowledge of be avoid of flu. Furthermore, the popular fast foods and carbonic acid drinks advertising remain people a cheap, convenience and nutritious image. In that case, people are misguided and leading a unhealthy life.

All these above are partially reason that caused the problem. As far as I concern, whether leading a health life or an unhealthy one based on the people themselves. To lead an unhealthy life means that you definitely have unscientific personal habit. Even if the advertising all over the world, a few people still live healthily, they make a perfect schedule for daily work, get up early and eat green vegetables and fruits, many of them insist on having sports and test their physical function.

Unhealthy life dose not appear in the world where the advertising everywhere. Different value judgement and custom decided local life style. For instance, people who are live in high tropical area, usually eat meat. It slows and the ground is covered by snow all year round, since cultivation is impossible, what people can do is forester animals and then make the animals meat as food. Meat contains high protein and high calorie, eating too much meat will cause illness. Beside that, young people are more attractive to new stuff. Socks like,  noodles in paper cup and soft-drinks are favored by young.

Moreover, Internet are pervading and cultivating a new form of living called zhai. That means you do not have to go out, just click your mouse, everything you need will be sent to your house, including food, commodities and other services. People have been lose their opportunities of intercommunication since then. Lack of sports does much harm of people’s health. In addition, pressure also makes people addict to alcohol and drugs.

To seek the real reason that the unhealthy life happens, we should scan ourselves first. Do we have a good schedule for ourselves? Do we see doctor ravel out both physical and mental problems in time? Do we have a proper judgement on advertising? Many more reasons rather than advertising in this modern world are leading us an unhealthy life.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? If you do not make sure other people (especially influential people or your employers) know about your strengths and accomplishments, you will never get successful in life.是否同意  假如别人（特别是有影响力的人或者自己的老板）不知道我的才华和功绩，我就是不成功的。

A vast majority of people are competing for the same goals - a desirable and high salaries, even if in different domains in this burgeoning era of information and technology. To achieve remarkable success in life, people  must exposed their strengths and fulfillments to others, particularly to employers and those who are influential ones to them. As far as I think, apart from the exposure of one’s advantages, there are some other vitals factors determining one’s future accomplishment.

Without enough assiduous work, people hardly acquired more respect and compliment from others, whatever how intelligent they are and how outstanding record they have had. Apparently, the reason is that if a person merely indulges in his or her inborn talent or glories that he or she once had rather than concentrating on practice or challenges, energetic working impetus and collaboration. Undoubtedly,  pretentious personality might rarely  receive welcomes.

Additionally, generally speaking,  it is perseverance that makes one’s destiny and leads the road to ultimate success. It is impossible that one reach the peak of a mountain directly and immediately. In most cases, a wide array of unforeseeable difficulties are required to experience and  surmount, and even formidable obstacles during ascending process. Likewise, promotion which requires one to persist in a particular goal with an indefatigable desire is a fundamental factor for making dreams come true as well.

Moreover, flexibility is an equally essential ingredient of individual attainment that guarantees a promising prospect for one’s future development. Actually, the changeable society necessitates more and more intellects that excel in adjusting to the changes of social advancement, which means that those who become accustomed to variable situations are more likely to survive in current competition and, meanwhile, embrace more opportunities and resources in their position.

With the help of influential people or employers, you could get success easier. They may be proud of you and help you gain more or recommend you to more heavyweights. That could be a good promotion. Things, however, are usually different as what we thought. Young probably slow down their pursuit after receiving recognition. As far as I think, concentrating on your pursue is superb way that leads to the ultimate  successful life .
