Life today is easier and more comfortable than it was when your grandparents were children.

限时完成 11.07-11.37

Magnificent changes have happened in China during the past century. The economy growth is dramatic and the income of residents improved considerably, not to mention the sense of happiness of civilians. However, decades ago, when grandparents were young, they had to endure starving, illness, and awful living environment, some of their family members even failed to survive. Therefore, I believe life today is much easier and more comfortable than decades ago.


To begin with, people no longer have to suffer from starving. On one hand, when wars occurred, people ran away from their home town and had nowhere to live, they encountered starving time to time. Since people nowadays seldom meet with political dynamics, most of them are leading a peaceful and happy life. On the other hand, thanks to progressive technology, farmers are more skillful at farming, productive lands ensure sufficient food supply today. Various abundant food and drinks are readily available in the supermarkets and shopping centers everywhere. In addition, people earn hundredfold times of their counterparts living decades ago. Obviously, life is more peaceful and comfortable, as well as affordable.



What's more, medical care becomes much considerate and specialized. In the past, sick person even died from cough which is unimaginable and almost impossible today. People now enjoy a high level of medical care resulting in the average longevity. Moreover, people pay more attention on their healthy now, they even pay for the exercise and health consultant to keep fit. Finally, the food are more nutritious than ever before, such as vitamin pills. According to a recent investigation, only a small proportion of people would like to go back to the past because of the lower life quality.


At last, living condition has developed into a unprecedented level in comparison to the past. When it comes to severe weather conditions, for example, people would stay in the rooms with air-conditioner. People need not to take months' voyage to go across the sea, instead, they can go abroad by flight within several hours. When they have to travel to another city, they can go there by car or train rather than walking weeks. The list will go on. Living in such conditions provides people happiness and delight.  


In all, when grandparents were young, life was not so easy as it is today, people nowadays enjoy themselves which is a much easier way to live.

People today spend too much time on personal enjoyment- doing things they like to do- rather than doing things they should do.
想了半天都写不出来，这篇没有限时写

Generally, students graduated from law school should aim to become lawyers after graduation, college students should attend all the classes, people should choose the job which offers higher salary. It seems that all these decisions are sensible and rational. However, I insist that people should first follow their hearts to select the life they prefer rather than the one defined by others or conventional rules, because doing things one favors allows individuals to chase their dreams, enhance self-confidence, as well as achieve success.

To begin with, since life is only once for everyone, people should pay more attention on what they like if only their decisions do no harm to others. A child born in a doctor's family, for instance, might be required to attend medical school in order to become a doctor as well. However, the child is not interested in surgery at all, instead, he is fascinated by music and dreams to become a musician. In this case, pursuing music is a more sensible choice because everyone has the right to chase his dream and strive for it.

Secondly, doing the things people are fond of is good for self-confidence enhancement. Because individuals do thing they like, they practice more leading to a better performance, as a result, they are likely to receive numorous compliment from others which brings about a sense of accomplishment. Thus, people gain considerable self-confidence. Take language learning for example, if the students are not interested in it, it would be hard for them to commit themselves to the study resulting in failure in the exams, and their attitude towards learning might be influenced in the end.

Lastly, those who do what they like are easier to obtain success. For example, Mozart, as well as other musicians, pursuit music in any condition and finally become successful. They never gave up music and stopped practicing. If someone do not like what he or she is doing, he or she virtually has little chance to make achievement in relevant fields. Since people like what they are doing, they tend to insist longer time which is the prerequisite element of success according to the 10,000 rule in the book "outliers" written by Malcolm Gladwell.

In all, one's life time is limited, people had better choose those they enjoy doing while do no harm to others. They can not only receive enjoyment but also get closer to success with great confidence.

In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today.

限时完成 17.23-17.52

It is undeniable that the invention of private cars has brought remarkable changes that influence people's live. Parents drive their cars to send the children to schools, students drive the car to campus. However, the increasing use of cars has been causing severe environmental problem by releasing waste gas resulting in global warming. In my view, in the future, it will come out that fewer cars in use than today. The reasons are listed below.


To begin with, since most people begin to pay attention to the air pollution, an increasing proportion of people would choose public transportation tools instead of driving their own cars. First, it contributes to the problem sloving of traffic jam to a large extent. The fewer people drive their cars, the better the road condition will be. Secondly, taking subways ensures people to arrive in their destinations on time. People can hardly be late because of stuck in traffic. What's more important, taking public transportation is an excellent way to prevent the air from contaminating. People nowadays have raised their attention on the environment problem and thus it can possibly be improved in the next two decades.  

In addition, as the advanced technology is developing at an unprecedented pace, a new substitute instrument might come into use, which is more environmentally friendly in comparison to automobiles. Personal moving tools, for example, which is driven by sustainable resource rather than gasoline, releasing healthy gas. If the new device enable people to achieve their destination more fast and cheaper, while ensuring the air quality, why do not choose the new device rather than pollution causing vehicles? Thanks to progressive technology, the new instruments have already been under research and it may come into use in the near future hopefully.



Finally, current life style of people is altering at an astonishing speed. A considerable ratio of people no longer work in their offices, that is to say, numerous number of people do not need to drive to their workplaces. As is true for students, they can stay at home to attend college classes through computers and the internet. Meanwhile, growing number of consumers become addicted in shopping on-line, housewives even purchase vegetables on the internet. Significant changes provide fewer chance to use the car, people can enjoy more convenient lives without driving.  

Generally, it is reasonable for people not to use their car like today in the next twenty years. Without driving so much, they can lead better lives.

It is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends.

11.27-11.57

Obviously, precious friendship is priceless fortune for everyone. When we were sad, friends offer their warm companionship, when we met with delightful things, we want to share with them at the first time. Also, they are the ones who trust us most. Some people argue that people should strive for new friendships, as well as chasing other kinds of fortune, the more the better. However, referring to the importance between old friends and new ones, I insist that people had better focus on the old ones, because making new friends consume time and energy, while the old ones give us incomparable care.


First, since the time for everyone is limited, 24 hours specifically, the spare time that one can spend on friends is also constricted. The more we spend on new friends, the less time we can stay with current good friends. For example, students in the college, through attending outdoor activities, knows more people and thereafter become friends. Once they have 10 hours to be with friends, the time has to be divided into separate parts for both the existing friends and the coming ones, resulting departure away with previous good friends.


Secondly, apart from the time needed to be spent on new friends, people also have to consume much energy on their new friends. For instance, they have to rack their brains to prepare birthday presents and Christmas surprise; they have to be readily available to provide various help. They might be exhausted facing too many friends, meanwhile, leaving not so much energy to spend on their old friends which is virtually a pity.


What's more, accompanying with old friends gives people encourage from every aspect as well as support. New friends can hardly understand us the way as our old friends do. Unlike new friends, the old friends well understand what do we need and share the same viewpoint with us, they are able to supply the most impressive advices and useful suggestions, helping us get out of difficulty. They share the most funny things happened around them recently to make us happy. What they give us much outweigh the one that the new friends may bring about.


In all, friends are of great significance not because the total number of them but because of the sincere heart. We should treat them the same way they treat us, while not concentrating on making new friends.

A part-time buzzer Bill gives a presentation about buzzing, he thinks the statement in the reading is not appropriate.

First, the reading passage may mislead people to believe that what buzzers say are not true. In fact, the company hires people who have used their product with excellent user experience. It is true that the buzzers are paid for what they do, it is also true that their personal opinions toward the products are true, which is different  from normal advertisement.

Second, in the reading passage, people suppose to believe whatever buzzers say. However, the opposite is true. People ask questions about the product buzzers are buzzing, for example, price of the product and how long the buzzer has used it.

Last, Bill thinks it is ridiculous to say that the buzzing will do harm to social relationships. Since what people get from buzzers is sincere, the conversation with buzzers will enable people to be  more open and enjoy talking with others.

Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people.

20.58-21.26


Obviously, among all the people around us, we can simply divide them into two categories: people we know and we do not know, that is, strangers. Some people argue that whether or not we should always telling the truth depends on who we are talking to. However, I insist that we should consistently tell the truth no matter who we are getting along with.


From one hand, when dealing with people we have already known, it is not only necessary but also essential to behave in a sincere way, which means never lie to others. First, telling the truth is an key element of friendships and other close relationship alike. With other's trust and respect, people can never lie to others. Family members, for example, are the ones who accompany us all the time, lying to them means considerable mistake which may cause intense family relationship. Secondly, by telling the truth all the time, people can set good examples for next generations, especially children. The best way of teaching is behavior of parents and those who stay close. Therefore, be avoid of telling lies makes people behave well while offers good examples.


From the other hand, living without lie may help people make more friends. People meet with hundreds of strangers everyday, from new neighbors to new workmates. Being honest is a significant characteristic of people. Honest people make themselves impressive when they encounter with others, they are able to gain trust from strangers more easily, leading to new friendships. For instance, if the doctors in the hospital do not tell the truth that the patient have already got an cancer, it may enable the sick man and the family to be happy, but the patient will eventually die of cancer, the lie does not help although the intention is of great kindness. On the contrary, if the doctor tells the truth, the patient might be thankful for the doctor's effort, which enhance the relationship between doctors and patients.


In all, although in some certain cases, people intend to tell lies to protect those who they care about. However, if only people always behave honestly, the social relationship will develop in a more harmony pattern, people should always telling the truth whoever they are talking to.

【Y or N】It is often not a good thing for people to move to a new town or a new country because they will lose their friends.

Nowadays, an increasing number of people tend to move to new places to live, domestic or abroad, for pursuing career development, further education and so on. Moving to a new town or a new county may bring about numerous attractive opportunities and wonderful lives, a different environment may also offer a brand new life experience that is fascinating for the most. However, some may concern about losing friends who are important in their lives when facing the decision of moving or not. As far as I am concerned, there is no need to worry because the move would never affect sincere friendships and sometimes, to a large extent, may even promote the connection among friends.

First, sincere friends would hardly drift apart because of distance and space. Thanks to the internet and advanced electronic products, people today can easily connect with each other only by fingering on the keyboards or smart phone screens. They update instant status on twitter and facebook through which their friends may get to know about everything happened around their friends. Friends can also chat with each other whenever and wherever they want owning to various instant message tools such as Gtalk, moreover, video chat is available if only there is a camera on the phone or the notebook. Therefore, moving to other places would impossibly become the barrier of communication among friends, not to mention losing friends.

What's more, people move to other places to pursue lives of higher qualities and chase ambitious dreams, when this happens // in this case, friends should be the most powerful support rather than obstruct. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. If a friend of mine needs to leave the city he lives now for a better life, as a friend, I would bless him deeply and offer as much help as I can to support him or her. It is hard to imagine that a friend will leave you only because you have to move away, a friendship like that could never endure hardship and does not deserve trust and sincere consideration. So, people do not need to worry about losing true friends as being a result of the move.

In some cases, moving to other places may greatly promote the friendship. As host of new places, people could invite their old friends to travel to their new cities which would surely/virtually enhance the friendships because of the journey. In addition, friends would miss each other more due to the temporary separation that may strengthen the relationship by cherishing each other. In short, true friendship will endure separation and people would not lose it just because of moving away.

【Y or N】It is often not a good thing for people to move to a new town or a new country because they will lose their friends.

Undoubtedly, people can seldom live in one place for a life-time. Faced with the choice about whether or not moving to another place, most people tend to concern the stability of current social network. Some people may argue that the move should never influence previous friendships owing to advanced communication technology/instruments such as the Internet and smart phones. However, I would strongly support the idea that moving to a new town or a new country, in the main, would affect the connection with friends resulting in losing friends sometimes.
First, while people move to other places for the pursuit of career or better lives of higher quality, their time for friends decreases to a large extent. After the moving, they might be busy to adjust themselves into the new environments resulted in gradually less time left for friends, especially their old friends. Before the moving, friends may meet each other at least once a week, while they hardly meet with each other once a year after the moving. In other words, the intimate relationships can no longer be achieved because of busy life as the result of the moving away.

In addition, the change of circumstances would create changes of people's mind as well as the attitudes towards life and values. Friends share the same interests and ideas which is of great importance for the relationship. Once they cannot agree with each other anymore, there might be more conflicts and disputes, not to mention the maintenance of steady relationship. Therefore, the moving, to a large extent, may lead to severe problems and thus people may lose friends due to it.
Finally, it can hardly be ignored that moving to other places does impact the relationship among friends considerably because of distance. Friends are supposed to support each other, especially when one of them needs help and companionship. After moving to a new city, people can no longer show up in front of their friends immediately as before, let alone moving to a new country. Without the accompany of close friends, people may feel lonely which usually causes mental illness.

In all, thanks to the improvement of daily advanced communication tools, people can contact each other much more convenient than before. However, people still have to consider the risk of losing friends in the future because of reasons listed above.

The influence of human activity and the use of pesticide have been talked about in the passage and the presentation. The speaker thinks the opinions in the passage are not so convincing.

First, in the passage, it is supposted that the expanding human populations lead to an increasing use of farm land to offer shelter places for human being, resulting to less land available for bird habitats. However, the speaker challenges this ideal by figuring out that the new coming urban areas also provide new habitats for birds, some bird species may shink, but other kind of bird could flourish.

Secondly, referring to the point that people may need more land for producting enough food which will also cause the decrease of animal habitat and thus followed by the decrease of bird numbers. But, in the future, as the speaker says, the crop land will be much more productive, more food can be achieved without destroying extra lands.

Finally, according to the passage, since the chemical pestcide is poison to bird species, the use of it not only influence the insects but also the food chain, including birds, which means the pestcide partly accounts for the decline of birds. The speaker neither agrees with this idea because of two points. On one hand, the pestcide in the future will not be so poison as it is now; on the other hand, the pest-resistant crop will be put into use in the near futuer, which is unattractive to insects and needs virtually no pesticide.

At universities and colleges, sports and social activities are just as important as classes and libraries and should recive equal financial support.

14.00-14.30

With a certain amount of money, how to make a wise and sensible decision is of great importance for everyone. It is also true for colleges and universities. Some people argue that it is better for schools to finance more on sports because health is rather fundamental for both students and professors, and the instruments for social activities should also draw comparable attention because of consideration about the enhancement of students social network. However, I insist that everything pales in comparison to the need of improvement of educational stuffs, such as classes and libraries.


To begin with, students attend college and universities, in the main, to specialize their knowledge and make academic achievements. It is undeniable that the school is responsible for the teaching and educating. Better learning environment and higher teaching quality enable the students to accumulate knowledge with great efficiency. Students majored in astronomy, for instance, are able to make the experiments with highly sophisticated telescope which cost an extraordinarily high price. How can they achieve this without school's enough finance support on teaching program? The more money spend on others, the less can be consume on the academic fields.


Secondly, focus on teaching also bring about advantages for universities and colleges themselves. Since the teaching quality and school facilities are critical factors among all the consideration when students are choosing their school, advanced academic environment is attractive for those who are extremely brilliant and ambitious. In other words, higher proportion expenditure spend on education results in great fame, assisting to enroll considerable amount of smart students. In some cases, students choose the university just because they want to attend certain programs held in the university which is available only in this university worldwide.

Finally, referring to the statement that students will fail to concentrate on research without good health and various social activity, it is true that health and social network are important, but they can be achieved off the campus. For example, students can go to the gym in the weekends, they can travel will their friends and family members in the summer holiday. The movie theater is also available and accessible for everyone. Since the major role of the universities and colleges is to pay serious attention on education, I do agree with the idea that more financial support should be paid on classed and libraries.

It is supposed in the passage that many valuable cultural artifacts have not been preserved well and the archaeology has not been paid enough attention. However, in 1990, some guidelines and rules appeared and then improved the situation in the field.


First, the building of constructions usually destroy some archaeological sites resulting in the damage to the artifacts. Nevertheless, the guideline figured out that before every construction, the sites have to be checked by archaeologists and if the site is archaeologically valued, there has to be a plan to protect the artifacts before the building of the construction proceed.


Secondly, in the past, financial support for archaeology was not enough. To solve this problem, the guideline pointed out that all the archaeology work will be paid by the construction company which is a new way of financial support without the participant of government, leading to more archaeology research available afterward.


Finally, it was rather tough to persist in the archaeology area because of inadequate accessible positions. But since more jobs have to be done by archaeologists after the announcement of the guideline, more people pursuit their career in archaeology, ranging from the checking stage to the researchers. The situation improved considerably because of the guideline.

家长该不该奖励小孩钱当小孩拿到高分

限时完成 21:53-22:25


Psychological research has shown that students who had been encouraged frequently by their parents performed better in the exam than their counterpart who have receive not so much praise. Some parents offers almost everything their children want if only they get good grades in the tests, but sometimes the outcome becomes even worse. Thus how to encourage young children in a right way comes into debate. In my view, it is not appropriate for children to obtain certain amount of money provided by parents as the present for high score.


To begin with, the money paid for high grades, to a large extent, would influence the children's attitude towards learning, which is to say, their motivation for study. People send their children to schools to accumulate knowledge and learn practical skills, as well as enable them to develop career interest which is key element for their future success. However, if parents encourage children by the means of money, it may mislead the children to assume that they go to school because of extra money offered by parents rather than the benefits for themselves brought about by attending school.


Secondly, the behavior of giving money to children as an encouragement do harm to the children's ideas about money, leading them to a wrong way of understanding money. The higher score they get, the more money they will receive. Getting a high grade may become a easy way to earn money, in their minds, and thus they do not need to work hard. As a matter of fact, people earn money because of pain and hard work they have paid in the workplace. Students would hardly understand the importance of making money through working industriously if they obtain money so easy from parents when they were at young age.


Finally, apart from the adverse influences mentioned above, the most harmful effect of money as a gift is the children's pattern to spend money. When they are juvenile, it is difficult for students to cultivate a sensible and rational way of spending money. Students, for instance, with some dispensable money in hand, they might use them in inappropriate way such as using drugs or gambling. According to a recent research, the juvenile criminal rate keeps increasing partly because of the money available for them. Consequently, how much money the children own and how they spend it should draw enough attention from parents.


In all, it is undeniable that children deserve encouragement for their good performance at school, but parents should also think about which is the best way to do so, because only though the right way, can they bring up their children more brilliant and smart.

The speaker is convinced that the solutions proposed in the reading passage have difficult to improve the situation, that is, to get rid of the excessive cane toad in Australia.

First, since the young toad and toad eggs often exist in the river and streams, no matter where to build the fence, the waterway can carry certain amount of toads from one side to the other side. The effect of this approach may not be as well as the one used before.

Secondly, although volunteers are available to help catch the toads in order to control the spreading, the untrained volunteers may brings about threat on native frogs, some of which are endangered species, because it is hard to tell cane toad from normal frogs. They would possibly catch the wrong species and then destroy rather than cane toad.

Finally, the disease-causing virus is a bad idea because it will lead to terrible consequence in cane toad living in America. As the transportation happens, the native toad living in America would suffer from this artificial intervene as well, resulting in disastrous outcome to local ecosystem.

Agree or disagree, in order to succeed, you should be more like others than be different from everyone else.

11:06-11:35

Many books focus on how to become successful appear in the top seller list. People unprecedentedly care about ambition and success, some people argue that if only they do something creatively, which is new and totally different from others, they can make remarkable achievements. However, I insist that people have better first observe and analyze how did the success make it and learn from them rather than being unique with considerable risk.


To begin with, people become success for reasons which deserve imitation. As the old saying goes: no pain, no gain. People can hardly be successful naturally, no matter how they achieve this, people who want to catch up with them or even outcompete them should first learn about the reasons. Thomas Edison, for example, finally invent the electric light largely because of his persistence. Without the hard working, he might not become so successful. It is hard to imagine that how can people be successful without working industriously. The primary step towards success is to learn from the success man, including their characteristics, working habits, as well as their learning methods.


Secondly, apart from learning from the success themselves, people should also learn from their outcomes. Merchants, for example, need to learn from their opponents and those who performs best in the field. What is the key elements to improve market share? How to increase gross profit and enhance the influence? Which solution is the best way to reach maximum potential consumers? Only through learning from others, can companies make progress in an efficient way at lowest cost.


Finally, referring to the argument that if people do exactly what others are doing they can hardly gain profit, as a matter of fact, if they do something exactly different from others may not only bring about no profit but even loss profit because of the risk. For instance, the price level of electronic products are relatively low in order to attract customers, however, if the producer make an extraordinarily elaborate promotion plan with higher price than the average level, the result can be obvious, not to mention the sales revenue and profit.


In all, learning from others and imitate with creativity is a more appropriate way to achieve success while at lower risky.

The speaker challenges the idea proposed in the passage, that is, she thinks the benefits of private collection of fossils outweighs the disadvantages.

First, it is not true that the private collection leads to the inaccessibility of fossil for the public. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. The private collection virtually increase the opportunity for the public to see the fossils because they have to be displayed in purchase activities.

Secondly, it is unrealistic to say that the private collection results in the missing out of significant discoveries on fossils. Since the fossils have to be examined and tested by scientists to define the value, there is no possibility that the experts will fail to get access to valuable fossils.

Finally, referring to the consideration that the fossil might be damaged by untrained collectors, the more important issue is to discover more  fossils rather than being satisfied with the existing amount of fossils now.
