5、individuals to spend their free time. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2016-04-23)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: With the development of new areas, some people feel that it is more important to build sports facilities as well as relaxation areas and greenery, such as parks, rather than places where
6、people can shop in order to pass away their free time. When a new town is developed, it is important to cater for a wide range of people that all might have different ideas on how to spend their weekends or other downtime. Sports facilities can enable people to maintain their health and also interac
7、t with their friends when they are playing football for example. These days, certainly in China, more and more people are getting fitter and wish to have the ability to maintain their fitness wherever they live. There are also a lot of people, and Im referring to the older generations, that would be
8、 more content to sit in a park, read a book or maybe have a picnic than anything else. Public parks not only are useful socially, but also contribute in a small way to breaking up the mundane colours of buildings as well as helping the environment. Shopping centres would also be an essential additio
9、n to any town. If they were not to exist in the area being created, no one would be able to buy the essentials for their day-to-day requirements. It is also well-known that window shopping is actually a relaxing way to spend time, especially for women. Overall, I would have to say that I disagree wi
10、th the statement because, I believe, they have an equal level of importance due to the fact that although they might be used by different people, they would be required by all.)解析:3.Peoples shopping habits depend more on the age group they belong to than any other factors. To what extent do you agre
11、e or disagree? (2016-04-30)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: It is thought that people of different ages have different shopping habits and these habits are dependent on which age group they fit into rather than any other demographic factors. For me, it would really depend on what the definition of shopping hab
12、it is, as well as how the age groups are defined. I understand “shopping habits“ to be any time you go out and spend money for whatever reason, not necessarily purely for clothes or food. This would include going to restaurants and perhaps the cinema or KTV as well as sports activities. I would prob
13、ably define the age groups in blocks of 10 years. If this were the case, I can see some arguments that might support this statement due to the fact that people of different ages will buy different things and at different times, but I dont believe it is solely due to their age. For instance, some of
14、my older friends, by about 5 years, are now married and some of them arent. Although they are the same age, their shopping habits are completely different. The ones that are married and are now living with their husbands rather than their parents are quite often going shopping for food or other thin
15、gs to do with home life, whereas my friends that are unmarried mainly shop for clothes. Another example of why it is not the unique decided, is the recreation activities that different people do. I am thinking of my friends that play sport with me, sometimes twice a week. Our squash club is made up
16、of entirely different people, with age ranges from 16 to 70. There are both women and men that play from all parts of the world including England, America, South Africa and China. So again, this “habit“ has nothing at all to do with age. In conclusion then, I totally disagree with this statement, as
17、 although age might be a small contributing factor, it is certainly not the most important.)解析:4.Some people think secondary school students should study international news as one of their subjects. Other people say this is a waste of valuable school time. Discuss both views and give your own opinio
18、n. (2013-06-22)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: When I was a secondary school student, I started to be interested in what was happening in the world. However, my accelerating interest to the world was not encouraged by my teachers who thought the only job for a secondary school student was to study the designa
19、ted courses, such as science and arts . From my judgement, those people who claim it is a waste of school time to study international news were wrong and it is essential for secondary school students to know about the world . First of all, secondary school students are at a crucial stage of change,
20、when their physical power is fast growing and their mental attitude is dramatically developing .At this period of time, their interest and curiosity about the world beyond their “comfort zone“ are increasing. Unfortunately, they do not have money to travel to other countries, so learning about the n
21、ews on media , such as from television, is one option for them to meet such a demand. The international news programmes on the media are a window from which students can have a broader perspective of the society in which they live. However, students may have difficulties in understanding the news, s
22、o they need help from school teachers, whose duty is to cultivate students to become a responsible person and qualified citizen. Secondary school students are young, and to some extent, naive. When they are exposed to media coverage, they might lack the ability to understand the complexities of the
23、world. Furthermore, very often, there are distorted reports or misinterpretations of news in the media. Without necessary support and appropriate guidance from teachers, students may be misled and sometimes go astray; thus, secondary school teachers are actually in an important position to help them
24、 distinguish between right and wrong. All in all, to understand the world is essential for secondary school students, which can be through learning about international news, which, therefore, is not a waste of time. The time of adolescence is valuable, so it should be spent with informed guidance.)解
25、析:5.It is better for people to be unemployed than to be employed without a job they enjoy. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2014-11-01)(分数:2.00)_正确答案:(正确答案: People work for different reasons. Some work for fun, because they get an enjoyable job; however, some others have to do a job for a l
26、iving. Some people have come up with the idea that it is better not to be employed than if they do not enjoy doing the job. Personally, though this idea sounds attractive, it cannot bear closer analysis . First of all, everybody has to make a living which requires earning enough income to cover dail
27、y expenses. Doing a job and getting paid provides such financial resources for most people. For example, living in cities can be expensive, not to mention big cities, such as London and New York. Even if you are living in a small town, yon have to buy the basic necessities of life. To afford to live
28、 in this world, you have to be employed, so it is not a matter of personal choice. Secondly, since one must be employed by others or self-employed, why not work with a positive attitude? Everybody has the right to choose what kind of job he/she does, so first choose a job you enjoy, if you can. If y
29、ou have to do a job that you dislike, try to see the positive sides and think what this job can bring to you. As a result, you often may find the happiness in the job. The statement to be unemployed because of not enjoying doing a job is more about escaping. Thirdly, it happens in some countries tha
30、t some people do not get employed and use the excuse of not being happy doing their job. These people rely on the money from their parents or the welfare of the government. For example, some young people do not go to work and live a luxurious life in China, because they are from a rich family. These
31、 people have earned a nickname of “the rich second generation“ , and they are actually avoiding their responsibility as a responsible member of the society. Furthermore, because they do not have regular work to do, their life is more hopeless than those poor people who work hard with low pay. In conclusion, I disagree with the idea to choose to be unemployed just because of not enjoying doing a job. Having a job and making a contribution to the society is the responsibility for every citizen to do .)解析:
