¡¡¡¡19. A/D It is a waste of money for governments to fund the space travel or space explorations.
¡¡¡¡It recent decades, hundreds of satellites and spaceships have blasted into space. Governments have spend a great deal of money on space research, but people hold diverse perspective on it. Some believe that it is meaningful to invest in space exploration, while others consider it totally unnecessary. As I see it, it is unwise to spend much money on space exploration; rather, governments should devote money to settle the issues that are more related to people’s daily life.
¡¡¡¡To begin with, governments should invest heavily in infrastructure, conforming to the interests of the majorities. People, in current society, can hardly live without infrastructure. The more developed the infrastructure is, the more benefits each individual could enjoy. For example, governments are supposed to provide citizens with an advanced system of public transportation. However, in most urban areas, the development of cities and the increase of vehicle ownership have led to frequent traffic congestion. If governments could invest more in the optimization of traffic network and the improvement of road-building, traffic problems can be solved efficiently. Similarly, investment in medical facilities also has favorable outcomes. Advanced medical facilities offer patients effective treatment, thus protecting people from fatal diseases and decreasing the death rate. Therefore, the improvement of infrastructure is conducive to every citizen.
¡¡¡¡In addition, the social sector also deserves more funds. For any country, an efficient social program improves the living standard of the public and thus contributes to the prosperity of the country’s economy. Take the United States as an example. During the Great Depression, people on the States suffered from poverty and hunger due to the unemployment. In order to improve people’s living conditions, President Franklin Roosevelt, along with his government, focused on providing a reliable social security program for citizens. By offering economic aid to the poor and the old, people were gradually relieved of the extreme poverty. Also, by establishing the Tennessee Valley and the Civilian Conservation Crops, the unemployment rate was significantly decreased. Due to these social programs. The economy of the United States revived. Hence, it is of great significance to emphasize social security development.
¡¡¡¡It is not to say that we should totally ignore the significance of the space exploration. In fact, the level of the development of the space exploration is the reflection of a country’s international status. However, it is far from life of the majority of people. Residents in the country cannot expect any immediate benefits, due to the fact that space exploration is nothing but long-term and unpredictable. For instance, although the Soviet Union put great efforts in developing space programs in the last century, its economy still stagnated and its residents still faced difficulties in their daily life.
¡¡¡¡To sum up, given that funding infrastructure and social programs greatly benefit all citizens as well as the nation, it is natural to draw the conclusion that governments should spend money on these sectors instead of space space exploration. (493w)
¡¡¡¡20. What is the most useful action for people to help protect the environment?
¡¡¡¡- Travel by bike or walk to destination
¡¡¡¡- Reuse and recycle waste materials
¡¡¡¡- Purchase local organic food
¡¡¡¡While the rapidly developing technologies are benefiting our daily lives in so many ways, such as lowering the cost of transportation and increasing our work efficiency, they are also expediting our destruction of the environment. For example, the more efficient chainsaws have enabled lumberjacks to cut down tress much faster and the enhanced fertilizers are causing imbalance in our ecosystem. For this reason, the public has been debating over in which way can people help conserve our environment. Personally, I tend to root for purchasing local organic food for the following reasons.
¡¡¡¡First of all, the “local” aspect signifies a drastic reduction in the amount of transportation required for the agricultural products to be delivered from the producers to the customers. Traditionally, the products have to travel thousands of miles in trains or trucks in order to reach its customers. For every mile the products travel, a large amount of greenhouse gas will be released from the internal combustion engines of the vehicles carrying them, while consuming a considerable amount of fossil fuel. However, if instead of purchasing the products produced thousands of miles away, we were to opt for those grown by the farmers in the outskirt of our city, the distance traveled by our food would decrease significantly. In fact, there has been a movement advocated by a small town in the United States called the “localvore” movement. Their name mimics the “carnivores” and “herbivores,” indicating their preference for locally produced products. According to their leaders, a large part of the reason for doing this is the reduction in the amount of greenhouse gas released during transportation.
¡¡¡¡Second of all, the “organic” aspect indicates abstentious employment of pesticides and fertilizers, which will greatly contribute to the re-balance of our ecosystem. Ever since the severe destruction to the local environment caused by the massive use of a particular type of pesticide called “DDT”, the word has recognized the truth that while these pesticides and fertilizers are excellent boosts for agricultural production, they also pose great threat to our environment. As a result, the government around the globe have dedicated more resources into developing more environmentally friendly fertilizers eliminates the possibility of making it completely friendly to the environment. Therefore, I believe that by purchasing organic products, we are taking the first step in restoring the balance of our ecosystem, which has been broken by the pesticides’ eliminating entire regions of insects and the fertilizers’ making the soil and water bodies eutrophic.
¡¡¡¡It is not to say we should completely ignore the benefits of travelling by bike or walk to destination and reusing and recycling waste materials. For example, people will be forced to ration the use of fuels, and the environment will be clean and tidy. However, by giving up their right to drive, the public will experience a severe increment in their time spent on the road and by recycling used materials, the public also has to make additional efforts. In contrast, by opting for local organic food, the customers simply have to make a different choice at the local supermarkets, which brings little trouble. In addition, due to the reduce time of transportation, the products will be fresher and thus taste better, which is an additional benefit for the customers.
¡¡¡¡In a nutshell, among the three choices provided above, I tend to believe that purchasing local organic products would be the most effective one. (582w)
¡¡¡¡21. Which is the most important thing for a political leader to ensure the prosperity of a country:
¡¡¡¡- Creating more jobs
¡¡¡¡- Increasing agriculture and lowering food prices
¡¡¡¡- Increasing access to affordable housing
¡¡¡¡It takes more than charismatic leadership to prosper a nation. Instead, the administration has to employ all sorts of measures ranging from economic boost to housing subsidies, and I think creating more jobs would be on top of the priority list.
¡¡¡¡First, more jobs can bring vitality to the economy. Needless to say, getting laid off would be a real blow for anyone. If the government fails to open up the job prospect for such individuals, they will end up being jobless and living on a limited budget. In that case, they will be forced to curtail living expenses. For example, a former middle-class family are now less likely to dine in fancy restaurants or purchase high-end items like they used to. Therefore, higher jobless rate means lower consumption power, which puts a hold on the national economy. In contrast, people will fare better if the government offers on-job training, unemployment benefits or start-up privileges. As long as more job opportunities are available to the public, people will be both willing and able to raise their living standard, such as upgrading the home theater, buying a RV for family road trip or investing in personal hobbies, all of which is conducive to the local economic growth.
¡¡¡¡Second, more job opportunities can create security and stability. An administration cannot ensure prosperity without standing up for its people in times of hardships. With job-boosting policies, the public will be willing to start up businesses and generate profound incomes in their hometown, therefore creating a stable and harmonious social atmosphere. Take the contemporary China for instance. The recent years has witnessed a boom in young entrepreneurs from all walks of life and a decline in emigration rates. The major reason lies in a newly minted government policy. It does away with government red tapes and enables the college graduates to take out loans with more ease, which encourages the youth to start their own businesses. Decades ago, when people felt their future career could be at stake, they would explore options abroad to counter the crisis. However, when job issues have been taken care of, people will feel content and secured.
¡¡¡¡So why food subsidies and affordable housing didn’t make the list? Some would argue the increasingly high food costs and surging house prices have troubled quite a few. But truth be told, these problems won’t be an issue if unemployment has become a thing of the past. With a decent job and a generous salary, people will be able to afford well-balanced meals and well-furnished residence. So when the government keeps things in the right direction, one measure can serve multiple purposes. (447words)
¡¡¡¡22. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can solve important problems in daily life on their own or with the help from families, so the help from government is not necessary.
¡¡¡¡In contemporary society, it is widely acknowledge that the government has assumed a vital role in our daily lives. The issue of whether help from the government or from families is necessary since we can deal with problems on our own has triggered quite a debate. Some people assert that help from the government is unnecessary because what bureaucrats have done with our tax money has nothing to do with our daily life. However, further evidence makes me inclined to believe that it is still necessary to have the government’s help, as there are certain problems we cannot solve without the help of the government.
¡¡¡¡The primary argument for my opinion is that considering the severity of environmental problems, any individual or family cannot deal with it without the help of the government. As is known to all, nowadays environmental issues are becoming more severe due to the rapid development of technology and industrial production. For example, the severe air pollution has done great harm to our body now in China. Although people can wear special masks to reduce the amount of noxious substance they breathe in, such action has no further or propounding effect on the management of air condition. To illustrate, the real reason for haze is that some factories produce large amount of waste such as dust or smog, and emit them into air. In this case, only the government can come up with effective methods to solve problem. In my city, the government orders manufacturers to remove their factories from suburb to countryside, so that little amount of dust will ever come to the city and cause an obnoxious haze. Also, the government enacts laws and regulations that clearly prohibit any form of emission of dust in the city. As a result, the air pollution can be significantly alleviated and people’s lives are made much easier and healthier.
¡¡¡¡Another factor we should take into account is that, when it comes to certain social matters such as education, we all live under the shelter of the government. Today’s society has greatly stressed the importance of fair and high quality education, as the increasing average level of schooling marks the advancement of a country. However, due to the disparity of resources, many children in remote and poor areas may mot receive proper education in their school age. Such problem goes far beyond the reach of these children or their family. But fortunately, with the government devoted to provide equal opportunities of education, now every kid can enjoy nine-year compulsory education free of charge. The government strives to allocate resources to these areas: founding schools and educational institutions, supplying necessary equipment and teachers, and providing funding. In China, thousands of Hope Primary Schools have been built under such guidelines, and millions of children can now read textbooks in a spacious classroom. Only the government is capable of making such great differences and alleviating the disparity of education. Then it is easy to tell that, on similar issues, what an individual or a family can do is quite limited.
¡¡¡¡Overall, based on the arguments above, I can firmly maintain that the help from the government is so necessary that it actually changes the way we live, especially on environment and educational issues. (548w)
¡¡¡¡23. A/D Students nowadays are more interested in politics than in the past.
¡¡¡¡Politics has always been a very important aspect of our modern society as it deals with matters related to the general well-being of a nation’s as well as world peace. However, it has been conventionally conceived that, students, especially teenage students, are excluded from anything political, while one could make that argument a few years ago, it would be immediately contradicted in recent years for the following reasons.
¡¡¡¡First of all, thanks to the accelerating development of communication technologies , students now have easier access to an abundance of political news and information with a few taps on their screen. In the past, it could take several hours for reporters to collect information, conduct interviewers and eventually publish an article in the news paper or play a footage on the television. In recent years, due to the popularization of smart phones and supplementary wireless communication at a reasonable price, it only takes a few minutes to write a short review or comment on a recent event, which could be instantaneously reviewed by the public. Nowadays, anyone can download a CNN or BBC app on their phone within a few minutes and peruse the breaking news and analysis of current political situation in the politics section. Without abundant information, students’ interest in a certain subject can never be piqued, so the convenience of fetching political news has contributed the students’ growing interests in this subject.
¡¡¡¡Second of all, politics and education are becoming more involved and interconnected. This means that the events and activities in the political world are exerting a stronger influence on the academic aspect of the students’ daily lives, which mandates that students be more concerned with the updates of both local and global politics. In the past, without the correlation between politics and academic activities, instead of paying more focus on politics, students only were inclined to strive for higher grades. For example, the Obama administration recognized that a global tendency towards a spur in demand of employees in professions related to science and technology, and immediately advocated a new focus of education, namely STEM education. Under the general policy coming from the White House, the public and private schools across the United States have devoted more resources into STEM related courses and have organized extracurricular activities accordingly. This change has had a huge impact on students’ daily lives in that they might be wondering why the science courses have become more important and perhaps increased in quantity and intensity. This has reminded the students to pay more attention to the political world.
¡¡¡¡In a nutshell, I do believe that recent years have seen an increase in students’ interests in the political world, induced by the advancement of communication technology, increased connection between politics and education, and the globalization. (469w)
¡¡¡¡24. A/D One can learn about another person from the books and movie that person likes.
¡¡¡¡Spending a significant amount of time with someone is necessary to get to know their personalities and temperaments. Sometimes, people can also tell a person’s quality and determine his or her personality by analyzing their behaviors. When it comes to the question of whether one can learn about another person from the books or movies that the person likes, I personally am in favor of this statement based on the following reasons.
¡¡¡¡First off, by judging from the books or movies or even TV programs that someone like we can tell a person’s interests and hobbies, consequently we can learn more about them. As we all know, a person tends to immerse himself or herself in things that his or her is of favor. For example, my roommate back in college was really into auto magazines, TV shows and even movies featuring fancy sports cars. At first, I did not know him so well to know his hobbies and interests,but I was sure at that time that he must have been a big fan of cars. Indeed, my judgment was right and he was a car freak, he likes all kinds of vehicles like sedan, SUV, recreational vehicles, etc. It is not an exaggeration to claim that he can tell not only the brand but also the version of a specific vehicle by just checking out the picture of the cockpit of the car. Ultimately, we can tell a person’s hobbies by the movies and books they like.
¡¡¡¡Additionally, the genre of the books that someone reads says a lot about the person’s character and temperament. Actually, it is natural for someone to shape their characters just because the characters in the novels or movies have a dramatic impact on the person’s behavior and attitude, regardless of the types of the characters like fairy, alien or someone with superpower. For instance, girls who read a lot of romantic novels like Gone With the Wind might be very emotional and very committed to someone they love. For someone who read science fiction novels or watch movies featuring future events and exploration of outer space tend to be very creative and willing to take risks, to be more specific, they might be someone who friends can depend on when they got stuck in some sort of exploration. For someone who likes to read classics of all times like the works by Jane Austen or Ernest Hemingway, they tend to cherish the simplicities and trivialities in lives.
¡¡¡¡Admittedly, one’s favorite books and movies cannot be the omni bearing indicator of a person. Some information, such as family background and real personality and not gather from the books and movies he fancies. However, one’s favorites give some information about his education level and professions A person with a low education level will never read a book requires too much intelligence. Unsurprisingly, a large number of people tend to choose the kind of books related to his job to read. So is the movie.
¡¡¡¡In a nutshell, by judging from the genre of the book that someone reads, not only can we tell a lot about the person’s interests and hobbies but also the person's character and temperament. (549w)
