①It seems that nowadays， very few young people are willing to stay in a job position for long，②let alone for the whole life. They change jobs constantly. This results from several factors.③ Firstly ， young people like fresh things，and it’s easy for them to ④be fed up with old routine work. So when they stay in a position for a while，the excitement will ⑤fade out. Secondly，young people are still looking for the best suitable job for themselves. They are quite realistic and not willing to waste time in a job they are not interested in. thirdly，some young people are not satisfied with current salary ，⑥believing they deserve better pay. In my opinion，constant job hopping won’t benefit young people in their career development. Every job has its own merits and young people can certainly learn something from it ⑦as long as they are patient and wise enough. Every job experience is valuable down the career path and young people shall be able to make the most of it.

Topic5：what is more important：character or academic achievement？

1、 不少人认为考试成绩是评价学生的标准 2、 也有人觉得应该以品格培养作为教育方向 3、 我的看法 范文与解释

what is more important：character or academic achievement？

①What is the criterion to judge the performance of a student？ Some believe that the exam marks should be the first standard concerned. A student’s first priority is to study well， and academic achievement can show the result of a student’s efforts and capability. But some disagree by holding that good character should be considered first when talking about the performance of a student，②as character shows that whether a student has correct basic moral value and proper behavior

③As far as I’m concerned，④sound character is more important in judging a student’s performance. Firstly，good exam marks can’t be everything as that won’tfollow a student’s whole life. But sound character will be the only thing that ⑤lasts for long. Secondly，if a student has very poor character，good marks will be meaningless. When the student has grown up，his academic achievement will probably be used for wrong purpose

⑥I，therefore，believe that we should reform the education system and care more for students character cultivation

①先提出问题，然后引出两种观点。②用as表原因，避免滥用because。③表述自己。④Sound character指健全的品格.⑤ Lasts for long表示长久持续。⑥用therefore 总结观点，提出建议

on the importance of being grateful

①Have you ever said “thank you“when your classmates helped you？ Have you ever thought about repaying a business partner who once lent you a hand？ If the answer is yes，you must be a person who feels grateful. Your gratefulness makes yours family more ②harmonious and helps you build a reliable cooperative relationship with other people，which can help you a lot in your lifetime.

However，there are less and less people who feel grateful in the modern society. ③For one thing,people focus④ so much on what they can get that they never think of

what to give. That’s to say，they are too greedy to feel grateful . For another，some people ⑤take other’s love and cares for granted and know nothing about gratefulness.

⑥In my view，gratitude is important to our society and cultivating gratitude should begin from children with something small. We should teach our children how important gratitude is and ask them to do small things for others to show their gratefulness. Our society can become more harmonious and beautiful because of gratitude.

Living with parents after graduation

Which will you choose to deal with your ①accommodation problem after graduation，②living with parents or renting a room on your own？ Quiet a number of people prefer to rent a room on their own；however，more and more people choose to live with parents.

③There are several reasons for that. First，because of the high housing price，most people can’t buy a house after graduation. ④What’s more，with their limited incomes，the graduates feel stressed with the high housing rent and living costs. Living with parents can save them lots of money which they may spend on housing or daily expenses. Finally， many people have been accustomed to depending on their parents and they can’t take care of themselves.

Earthquakes，droughts and floods in the west and southwest this year ②resulted in many casualties and great losses，which greatly shocked us and forced us to be on alert. We ③can’t help raising the question：are there more disasters than before？

Many people probably will say“yes”to this question. There are more and more

reports about disasters on tv and on the front pages of newspapers and websites. Media often cover details of disasters for days，which easily gives viewers a ④false image that disasters happen every day.

As far as I’m concerned，the great ⑤coverage of natural disasters by the media reflects the environmental awareness of human beings. We’re more concerned about environmental protection now，and this is the first step to a better future of our planet

In these cases，you may ②feel excluded if you don’t do the same things as they do. Sometimes peer pressures③ drive people crazy，but you can’t only rely on yourself to deal with it.

④There are two ways to deal with peer pressures. First，pay attention to your own feelings and decide what you should do. Try saying“no”to peer pressures. Don’t give in to pressures and do things against your will. Second，find friends who stand on your side. It’s tough to deal with peer pressures alone，but it’s much easier if at least one peer supports you. Make friends with those who have similar opinions or habits to yours，so that you won’t feel excluded. ⑤To conclude，peer pressures can be eased if you have the courage to say “no”to it，and combat with it together with your true friends ①通过举例来说明现象，使文章更生动具体。②指“感觉被排外”亮点短语。③只让人抓狂。④具体说明来自同龄人的压力的办法。⑤总结全文 Topic10：Lectures and discussions

Lectures and discussions

Lectures and discussions are two main styles of teaching in universities，and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. ①Some students are in favor of lectures，but others enjoy discussions very much.

Lecturing is the most traditional teaching method in China，because it’s considered high efficient. Students can② get used to lectures easily，for most of them have been taught in this way since primary school. Teachers play a very important role in lectures，while students seldom have chances to speak.③ On the contrary，discussions allow students to have chances to④ interact with each

other. What’s more，students have more ⑤freedom and initiative in class where they can express their ideas freely and ask any questions about the topic. However，this class can easily ⑥go out of control if there is no restriction.

As for me，I prefer discussions to lectures because of the open atmosphere. However，teachers should take charge of the discussions to help students learn more

On the important of mutual understanding

①Nowadays many people are so focused on their own interests that they barely consider the feelings of others. As a result，misunderstandings，or even conflicts，arise.

It’s important for people to understand each other during a conversation，or in the interpersonal communication.② For one thing，mutual understanding makes it easy for both parties to reach an agreement on the topic they’re discussing. This may help solve the most difficult issues among different cultures，countries or communities. Furthermore，for people who are friendly to each other，this mutual understanding can definitely ③strengthen the love and friendship between them.

Both the speaker and the listener can do much to help gain mutual understanding. On the one hand，the speaker should try his best to express himself④ clearly，correctly，vividly and forcefully. On the other hand，the listener should also make every effort to be very attentive. Most importantly，both parties should take a friendly attitude towards the other side

Book smart or street smart

There is a ①heated debate nowadays about which is better or more useful，to be book smart or street smart. People’s opinions differ greatly over this topic.

②Some people believe to be book smart is way better. Many important fields like science and education need a great number of book-smart people. They can ③apply what they learn from books to their career.

Others argue that true cleverness is④ not about how much you have learnt，but about how you deal with what you have learnt. Street-smart people can learn much

from different experiences and can solve practical problems easily. They’re much useful than book-smart people ⑤to some extent.

⑥As for me，there’s no clear victor in the battle between street-smart people and book-smart ones.They both have their advantages，and our society require both. As a result，it’s much better if we’re both book smart and street smart.

Due attention should be given to spoken English

As we all know，spoken English ①plays an important part in learning English. However，more and more students pay less attention to spoken English nowadays.

There are two main reasons for this phenomenon. First，students would rather pay more attention to written English than spoken English ②because of pressure of exams. In order to enter a better school，students take efforts to improve their grades in examinations. As for English，exam mainly focus on the written part. Therefore，written English becomes student’s ③priority. Furthermore，many students lack courage to speak English. Being afraid of making mistakes and thus losing face，many students dare not speak English ④in public.

⑤In order to change this situation，the educational system should be reformed to keep a balance between written English and spoken English，and school should pay more attention to the latter. And most importantly，students should be encouraged to make mistakes when speaking English. If they’re self-confident。Their spoken English is sure to improve.

The impact of the Internet on education

As Internet application is becoming wider and wider，the Internet has already ①permeated traditional education and has tremendous impact on education. As a result，more and more people tend to choose online education. There are some reasons for this phenomenon. First，online learning②breaks the limits of time and space traditional education encounters and provides flexible learning opportunities for all people. Second，with the online learning，one can learn lessons from the best teachers of top schools which one can’t ③have access to traditionally. Third，online learning gives freedom to students，so they can ④schedule their study according to their own pace of learning. Finally online learning enables them to discuss with others and ask questions freely without seeing each other，which is perfect for shy people.

There’s a ①controversial issue about whether dialects should be prohibited in public. Opinions vary greatly on this issue.

②Some deem that dialects should be forbidden in public. There are so many people with various dialects in public that ③if everybody just speaks their own dialects，it can easily lead to chaos. In order to avoid this situation，we have to choose mandarin as the official language，for it can be understood by most Chinese. However，others argue that everybody has the right to speak dialects. Local dialects have been used for thousands of years，and they are valued as part of the traditional cultures. Therefore they should’nt be ④abandoned randomly. In addition，dialects still enjoy popularity in the daily communication among people from the same place. ⑤From my perspective，local dialects should be maintained and they can be used in public as long as they do not cause misunderstanding among the audience. Moreover，we should take responsibility to preserve endangered dialects

My view on white lies

The question about whether we should tell lies in daily life has

aroused an ①intense debate over these years. Different people have different opinions. Many believe that we need white lies. There are moments in our life when we have to tell lies. In order to avoid hurting others’ feelings or to make others feel better，we often tell white lies instead of conveying the truth.② White lies have magic power to give people much hope and warmth. For instance，when you tell lies to a patient who gets ③incurable disease，he can probably enjoy the rest of his days more peacefully. Others argue that no one should tell lies，no matter what kind of lies. ④A white lie is essentially a lie. Some people ⑤feel betrayed and even get more hurt once they find out the truth，which can wreck a relationship easily.

However，others hold that there should always be a formal distance between teachers and the students. They argue that only when the teacher keeps a distance from the student can be make⑤ fair judgments about all the students and avoid prejudice.

Need we “never give up”？

①When Wallace watched the spider fail six times in spinning a web and succeed at the seventh time，he realize that he should lead his Scottish people to fight against the English invaders for another time，and he，too，succeeded. Whenever we face some difficulties or suffer setbacks in our projects，we can always② gain strength from the popular saying：“never give up！”

③But need we never give up？ Apparently there are always goals we can never achieve. However hard we tried，we could’nt win the top prize in every contest；whatever treatment used，we may fail to lengthen the life of someone beloved. There are always frustrations，and some are just beyond us. ④It’s thus wise to accept the reality，i.e. to give up sometimes.

As college students, we need the saying” never give up” to keep us going. But we also need to learn to ⑤come to terms with reality. When occasionally I heard news about some college students committing suicide, I said to myself,” If only they had learned to give up!”

Work in the countryside

①Many university graduates now volunteer to work in the countryside. It’s reported that once hundreds of university graduates competed with one another to work as a village leader in Beijing.

Many factors have contributed to this phenomenon. ②First，with more and more university students graduating each year，the job market competition becomes ③increasingly fierce，and many graduates can’t find jobs in the cities. Working In the countryside is better than being jobless. Second，the villages that are trying to employ university graduates are generally in the rich areas of the country，which makes working there an attractive choice. Third，some university graduates，being from the countryside，are eager to go back home to contribute to construction of their hometown. With their ④knowledge and enthusiasm，they will play an important role in building the new countryside.

2. 有人则认为养老院更能好好照顾老人 3. 我的看法

Should old people stay at home or be placed in nursing homes？ Should old people stay with their children or go to the nursing homes？

①Some hold that old people should stay at home. For one thing，the young ②are obliged to repay the care and love they once received from the old . For another，the old may help with some housework and gain a ③sense of achievement，which is important for their mental and physical health. By contrast，some argue that old people should be placed in nursing homes，where they can ④not only have opportunities to communicate and have fun with their peers，but also be treated by professional doctors and nurses. Furthermore，with the old staying in nursing homes，the young may have more time and energy to devote to their own careers.

⑤In my view，the decision should be made with all factors fully considered. Above all，the opinion of the old should be respected. They themselves should be the ones who makes the decision，not the young.
