As we are new to the neighbourhood, we certainly would not like to get

If you decide to join us, it is not necessary to bring anything with you. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday and sincerely hope that, if you do not, the party will no

Do you agree or disagree? （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1同意 Nowadays, computers are being used by an increasing number of people for more diverse purposes. Ho
11、wever, I believe that if young children use computers every day, it has more negative effects than positive ones. In this essay, I shall outline my reasons for believing this. Young children are extremely impressionable. Computers give people the opportunity to do a great number of things. This can
12、have the effect of encouraging young children to overuse computers. On very basic levels, it could make them very good at using computers for basic calculations, but leave them with the idea that they do not need to be able to make such calculations in their heads. Computers could develop useful typ
13、ing skills, but this might come at the expense of clear handwriting. Another disadvantage of allowing children to use computers every day is that they might not get out as often. As a result, they might not get enough exercise or might not make as many friends (or spend as much time with friends) as
14、 they should. This is already being seen in some societies where children are becoming less physically active and less sociable. Young children should certainly get used to using computers. I am not against that. However, parents should realise that computer skills are not the only ones that are nec
15、essary in modem society and should not allow their children to overindulge in computer-related activities. I believe that it is best if young children are not allowed to use computers every dayor for a long time. 参考范文 2不同意 Computers have become an important aspect of life in the modern world. Clearl
16、y, children need to learn how to use them in order to enhance their prospects in later life. However, some people believe that using computers every day can have more negative effects on a young child than positive ones. I disagree and will outline my reasons below. Using computers has many benefici
17、al effects on young children. Firstly, it familiarises them with these machines, so that, when they meet them later at school or at work, they learn more and faster. A second point is that using computers to search for information on the Internet allows children to search for information. Children a
18、re naturally inquisitive and, through the Internet, their curiosity can be partially satisfied. Thirdly, although many parents are concerned about their children using computers to play games, it has been shown that certain games help children to develop useful skills. Some games help to develop han
19、d-eye co-ordination. Others develop linguistic or logic skills. Some people point out that young children show a tendency to overuse computers. This is true, but it is not so much a problem of computers as an indication that the parents are not able to exercise control over their children“s activiti
20、es. I see nothing wrong with a young child using a computer every day for an hour or two. Clearly, children of any age should not be allowed to use computers for hours on end. They need to do other things too, such as physical exercise and playing with friends. In conclusion, I believe that it is be
21、neficial for young children to use computers for a little while each day, for there are benefits in the short and long term.3.The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items in five different countries in 2002.

People in Turkey (32.14%) and Ireland (28.91%) spend relatively high am
24、ounts on food/drinks/tobacco, whilst consumers in Spain (18.80%), Italy (16.35%) and Sweden (15.77%) spend roughly half that proportion. The percentages for spending on clothing/footwear differ to a lesser degree. Consumers in Turkey (6.63%), Spain (6.51%) and Ireland (6.43%) spend around 6.5% of th
25、eir household expenditure on clothing/footwear. People in Sweden spend a lower proportion (5.40%) and people in Italy spend relatively more (9.00%). Spending on leisure/education is relatively low in all five countries, though there are marked differences. People in Turkey spent the highest percenta
26、ge on this item (4.35%). Those in Sweden and Italy spent almost exactly the same percentages (3.22 % and 3.20% respectively). In Ireland, the figure was 2.21% and in Spain it was 1.98%less than half the figure for Turkey. Overall, we can see that spending on food/drinks/tobacco was always greater th
27、an spending on clothing/footwear, which in turn was always higher than expenditure on leisure/education.4.It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not.

28、ome a good sports person or musician. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 1孩子可以通过教学成才 Are children born with certain talents or can they be taught them? I believe children may be born with certain predispositions towards certain talents, but given enough tim
29、e, patience and reasonable intelligence and basic ability, all children have the opportunity to be good at anything. We can point to certain examples and claim a few children are born with talent, e.g. Mozart. These examples are usually flawed. Mozart is hailed as a child who was writing music when
30、he was very young. Actually, there is now overwhelming evidence that he didn“t write most of that musichis father did. He certainly wrote great pieces of music later in life, but by then it was teaching that had produced such talent. In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell states that it takes around 10,000 h
31、ours of practice to become “one of the best“ at anything from playing ice hockey to playing the violin. Other factors can have an influence on whether a child is good at a particular sport. An obvious example is geography. If a child is born in Jamaica, the chances of him becoming a top ice hockey p
32、layer are far lower than if he had been born in Sweden. China produces great table tennis players because table tennis is extremely popular there and the level of competition is correspondingly higher. It would be dubious to claim that Jamaicans cannot be taught ice hockey or that the Chinese are ge
33、netically better at table tennis. Since there is little evidence that children are born with certain talents and given that even people with great talents point to training and hard work as the sources of their success, I believe that any child can be taught to be talented at somethingso long as tha
34、t child is prepared to put in time and effort. 参考范文 2孩子的才能是天生的 Are children born with talents or are all children capable of being taught them? I believe that children are born with talents and any teaching is only going to have a minimal effect on them. Children are the products of their parents an
35、d are therefore a result of the genes of those parents. There are many cases of people who are good at mathematics having parents who are also good at that subject. The connection is clear. Sometimes, children do not seem to have the talents that their parents have, but I think this is because they
36、do not take the opportunity to use their talent. Of course, it is a pity that such talent is then lost to humanity. As I said, teaching could have a minimal effect on children. All children can learn something, but children without natural ability will be behind those who have it. If we look at scho
37、ols where students are divided according to ability, we can see that the student roll in the highest class in any given year is almost identical to that in the roll in any other given year for that year group. In other words, few students move up or down. This does not mean that we should forget abo
38、ut teaching. Instead we should focus teaching efforts on those students who already have a predisposition towards particular subjects. In conclusion, children are essentially born with talents and those talents should be developed whilst we should not waste resources on those who have little or no t
39、alent in given areas.5.The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：参考范文 The line chart sho
40、ws consumption of fish, lamb, beef and chicken in a European country in grams per person per week (G/P/W) from 1979 to 2004. Fish consumption is 60 G/P/W in 1979, dropping to slightly below 50 G/P/W by 1982 and thereafter fluctuating between 40 G/P/W and 50 G/P/W. Lamb consumption is 150 G/P/W in 19
41、79, falling to about 65 G/P/W in 2004. However, the fall is not continuous or even. For example, there is a rise from 110 G/P/W in 1985 to 130 G/P/W in 1987. Consumption of beef follows a similar pattern to that of lamb. Overall, consumption drops from 220 G/P/W in 1979 to 110 G/P/W in 2004. Again,
42、the fall in consumption is not even or continuous. Consumption falls significantly from 220 G/P/W in 1979 to 175 G/P/W in 1981, then rises dramatically to 240 G/P/W in 1983, remaining relatively steady for the next few years. Chicken consumption is the only one that has risen, from 140 G/P/W in 1979
43、 to 250 G/P/W in 2004. The rise is neither continuous nor even. Chicken consumption overtakes lamb consumption in 1980 and beef consumption in the late 80s. In summary, beef and lamb consumption decrease significantly over the period, fish consumption drops slightly, while chicken consumption rises. Total meat consumption drops from about 570 G/P/W in 1979 to 470 G/P/W in 2004.
