在执行上级党组织决定方面存在的问题及整改措施范文(通用6篇)
2023-06-15
法语专八的题型大家应该已经有所了解,包括听写填空(10分),听力理解(10分),词汇语法(同义替换10分+完形填空10分),法译汉(10+分),汉译法(10+分),阅读理解(20分),写作(15分),一共七个大题。其中听写填空、听力理解、阅读理解、写作这四个大题的备考是要贯穿整个复习过程始终的,其实它们也是最容易在短时间内大幅提高得分率的题型。而词汇语法、法译汉以及汉译法这三种题型,相对而言更依靠长时间的积累,短期复习的帮助不一定会很明显。
基于对考试题型的认识,同学们应该在四周备考期中每天坚持做三件事情:听、读、写。
首先是听,如果你还没有听过历届专八真题,那么花三天左右的时间先从真题开始;接下来的二十多天时间,听法语广播,首推RFI的français facile,资源在沪江法语频道都有,并附有法语原文,大家一定不要投机取巧,对着原文听广播,应该先听几遍广播,大致弄懂意思了再参考原文,看有哪些重点遗漏;此外,沪江听写酷中的听力填空题建议多做。对于已经听完专八真题的同学,就可以省去第一步骤了。
关于读,主要目的是培养阅读感觉和快速理解的能力。训练过程仍然是从真题开始,不一定要落实到题目,但每读一篇文章,要在尽量短的时间里把握大意(争取控制在5分钟以内),这一阅读阶段持续三天左右;接下来的时间读外报,推荐法国晚报,可以找到很多篇幅和词汇难度与专八相当的文章,注意一些专业性太强、有明显政治倾向和篇幅太长的文章应果断舍弃。特别要强调,阅读最忌讳纠结生词,生词是难免的,但它们往往并不会影响对文章整体的理解。阅读过程中关注常用词汇和表达方式。
最后是写,不用多讲,四周里至少每两天一篇作文,写作自然会越来越顺手的。写作主题最好是谈论对某些观点或社会现象的看法,不用很深,但需要有些思考,不要总停留在讲述自己生活这类的话题。作文中避免用生僻词、疑难句,表达清楚是关键,学会用连词(d’abord,puis,finalement,ainsi…)让文章有层次、有逻辑,适当出现几个从句可以为你加分,但千万不要几个从句套一起。一些在阅读外报时学到的表达应该用到自己的文章中。
除了听、读、写三项每天必须完成的任务,建议同学们前两周系统复习本科阶段所有语法,抓主要用法和易错用法,不具普遍性、不常用、太细小的语法点无需关注,复习期间配合少量针对性巩固练习。后两周以做题为主,主要是词汇方面的综合题,尤其要留意题目中短语、代动词的固定用法,最好做题的时候可以背下来,普通的单词只需留有印象即可,排除冷门偏门。另外同时开始进行汉译法练习,通过前两周的阅读和写作,大家积累了一些表达,所以从第三周开始练习汉译法是比较合适的,按专八的规格找一些中文句子练习翻译,原则是准确、清楚,不要受中文句式限制,只要表达出同样的意思就行了,遇到不会的词要尝试换一种差不多的说法,不要一词不会就整句不会了。
最后,无论如何要在考前留出三天左右时间,完整重做专八真题,必须严格按考试流程进行。
关于法译汉,这四周里没有安排专门练习,其实阅读方面的练习对法译汉是有很大帮助的,建议大家在阅读外报的时候,可选取其中一段进行口头法译汉。法译汉应先全文浏览,再逐句翻译,若想拿到满意的分数,首先表意要准确、完整,避免法语式中文,不建议大家在文笔上花很多心思或完全采用意译的手段,对于考试而言,直译还是更能讨巧。
成功来自哪里?
Model Essay(范文):
Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. If our greatexplorers and scientists did not live by this creed,where would we be? I think that we must all take risks in our lives, but these must becalculated risks. Like the great thinkers of our time, we must plan carefully, seize allopportunities, and reevaluate our plans.
There is no such thing as a chance occurrence. Columbus in his search for the Indies drewmaps, plotted his route carefully, and set out. Madam Curie worked diligently in her laboratoryrecording every aspect of her experiments. You need to have a careful plan so you canmeasure your success.
Even with a careful plan, changes occur. Columbus was looking for the Indies, but ended upin the Caribbean. Lewis and Clark were looking for a river passage west, but discovered muchmore. You have to be ready to take advantage of new things as they occur.
When things go against plan, you must be ready to change direction. Columbus didn't bringback spices from the East Indies, he brought back gold from the West Indies. It is important tosee the positive side of things. Make your mistakes work for you.
You will never succeed in life if you don't take chance. But before you start, you must plancarefully so you are ready to take advantage of every opportunity and turn mistakes to youradvantage.
永不放弃
Model Essay(范文):
“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”These are wise words. One should never give is always another opportunity, another goal, or another option.
Once I ran for president of my class. Unfortunately, I lost. I lost because I did not promotemyself enough. I looked at my mistakes and decided how to correct them. The following year, Iran for president again. This time I gave speeches, called voters on the phone, and banded outbrochures. This time I won. Never give up. There is always another opportunity.
Once I wanted to study medicine. Unfortunately, I didn't like science. I failed all my sciencecourses at school. Then I realized that what I liked about medicine was helping people. Ichanged my goal from healing people to helping people. Now, I'm studying psychology. Thereis always another goal.
Once I wanted to talk with my friend. Unfortunately, his computer was down and I couldn't e-mail him. His phone line was busy so I couldn't call him. Mail would take too long so I couldn'twrite him. Since I really wanted to talk with him. I got on the bus and went across town to visithim. There is always another option.
If you give up, you might as well die. My advice is to always look for another opportunity,another goal, or another option. There is always something else. Don't give up.
第一是心态问题,我从不给自己太高的要求,给自己定的目标也不会很高,这样我便能以比较轻松的心态去复习。我那时只是想PASS,拿到八级证书,在每次做模拟题时如果结果能够超过60分我都会很满足很开心。
第二呢,我认为学习有个计划是很重要的,考八级时我也给自己制定了比较详细的计划,而且基本上按照自己的计划进行,效果不错。我首先是从我比较弱的听力入手的,从九月份开始我便有计划地练习听力,开始是每天听半小时左右,一个月以后每星期听一个小时左右,我那时是训练自己的听力基本能力,用的材料是《中级听力》,只是听大意,没有做题,直到考前两个月我才开始做八级听力真题或者模拟题,先听自己录的或买的带子,然后跟同学交换带子练习
除了听力,我大概在十月份开始就逐步练习八级的其他各种题型了,我感觉阅读是很重要的,如果阅读好了,对你的整体分数影响很大,因为这一部分能够拉分,好坏可以相差很远。我记得我开始把从图书馆借来南开大学那本《高级阅读》的题目全部做了一遍,严格按照八级考试时给阅读提供的时间来进行,训练阅读速度。除此之外,我还经常娱乐性地阅读一本为雅思考试设计的书,里面有几百篇短小的文章,这些文章涉及地理、科学、教育、文学、音乐、艺术等等,每篇文章后面都附有生词解释,但是没有题目。读这样的书可以拓宽自己的知识面,对做八级的阅读也是帮助不小的。而且这时阅读只是为了兴趣而不是为了做题,没什么压力,挺好的。
那时我们每个星期都会练习一篇改错,老师也每次都帮我们批改,我还做了一套专门练习改错的题,我忘记名字了,是复旦大学出的,一共有100道改错题,我每天做5道题,20天就做完了,难易适中,我觉得很不错。
至于写作,我是把常春藤的那本作文书认认真真看了两遍,里面有往年的题目,也有他自己出的题目,每个题目至少有一篇例文。我一般是先看完例文后自己打腹稿,很少写出来。最主要的是学习其中写作的技巧,比如语言的应用,结构的安排,论点的提出等等。如果你能够认真去研究去思考,久而久之,你会发觉不管来什么样的题目,你都能够很轻松地写出那篇作文,而且自己感觉良好。我们的老师给我们练习过几次写作,我每次都能得比较高的分数,我想跟我这种学习方法是有关的,可以说那时我已经基本读透了八级写作的技巧,所以能够以不变应万变。
翻译我是练习得比较少的,我开始是零零星星地把往年出现过翻译题目用心做了一遍,因为没有答案对照,我就跟自己的同学一起练习,做完几个同学逐字逐句地讨论怎样翻译比较合适,这样挺好的,在与别人的交流中学习。直到考前两个月,我才把常春藤的八级翻译那本书看了两遍,并且用心译的方式做了里面大部分题目。
英美文化知识那部分我基本上没怎么看书,因为以前我看过朱永涛编写的《英语国家文化与知识入门基础教程》,对这部分知识有一定了解,而且真正考试时这部分的题目还是很简单的,所以我只是在考前随便温习了一下。
刚才谈到的都是八级各个部分的练习,我在第一阶段确实是各个部分进行练习的,只是到了考前一个多月的时候,我才开始做整套的模拟题。很多同学很早就做了很多套了,但我是很坚持自己想法的人,没有随波逐流在基础还不够扎实的情况下就做大量的模拟题,事实证明我是正确的。在我做模拟题的时候,虽然成绩好坏也有起伏,但基本上不会太差,算是比较稳定。如果你没有打好个部分的基础就去做模拟题的话肯定感觉受打击很大,因为在那个阶段你不可能把模拟题做得很好,与其这样,不如先把各个部分都攻破了,再力求整体的突破。我一共做了大概十多套真题或者模拟题,一般是隔两三天做一套,按照考试时间来做模拟题挺累的,建议不要天天做,那样会受不了的。
第三点,我觉得学习的毅力非常重要。其实在刚开始的时候,很多同学都很努力,我那时做几份兼职比较忙,都是抽空去练习的,有些同学专门练习八级,花的时间和精力比我多得多。我想最能体现大家毅力的时候是在春节那段时间,我们那年是过完春节没多久就考试了,绝大部分同学都在那段时间彻底放松了,没有坚持下去。但我是真的坚持下来了,在寒假期间,除了跟同学聚了两次会,我几乎足不出户,每天都坚持按照自己的计划练习,跟同学聚会回来哪怕已经是凌晨一点多我也要看一个小时左右的书才能安心睡觉,甚至在年初一我都没有停止学习。那段时间确实坚持得挺辛苦的,我当时学习比较投入,没怎么感觉到辛苦,但考完八级后我有三个星期恢复不过来,非常累,什么都做不了,像个废人似的。我家人自我考完后就一直提心吊胆,每次打电话来都要问成绩出来没有,其实我早就告诉他们大概什么时候出成绩,我就奇怪他们怎么老问呢?后来我爸爸告诉我因为他们看到我寒假在家复习那段时间太辛苦了,怕万一考不好对我打击很大,他们真是多虑了:)。其实在考八级之前我的专业水平跟班上好几个同学不相上下的,但在八级考试之后,我跟他们的距离就明显拉开了,可见复习八级考试这个过程对我后来的学习影响有多大。
专八作文需注意两个方面
高校英语专业八级考试大纲写作部分规定:写作部分设一题,20分,要求能根据所给题目及要求撰写各类体裁的文章,文章长度约400个单词,能做到内容充实、语言通顺、用词恰当、表达得体。真题在Directions的最后会告知考生:“Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks”。考试时间45分钟。
就字数时间比来看,专八作文难度介于雅思和托福之间;就写作体裁来看,迄今为止,历年真题考的都是议论文;就出题形式来看,都是给出背景和题目的写作;就写作内容来看,考到的基本上都是考生比较熟悉的关于大学生的话题或社会常见话题。而且文章结构一律规定为三部分:introduction, body 和conclusion. 从这些方面看,专八写作对于学习英语专业达到三年或四年的学生来说并不是特别难的事。但每年仍有为数不少的考生失利,令人惋惜。
笔者认为,要考好专八作文,应从以下几个方面入手。
首先,必须对以上提到的对作文部分的要求做到充分了解,按照要求写作。有些同学由于轻视,只根据考试前自己看到的一些其他考试的英语写作模版(如大学英语六级或研究生入学考试英语写作模版)来对付八级,结果与考试要求的文章结构和字数不符,造成严重失分。
其次,必须在考前的一段时间做严格的限时应试练习,以保证在考场上时间比较紧张的情况下发挥出自己真正的水平。通过练习,主要是提高自己两个方面的素质:
一是进行逻辑思维的素质。与大学英语四、六级、考研以及专业四级考试不同,专八写作要求的字数更多,更体现思维的深度和广度,因此必须通过练习来促使自己提高逻辑思维的速度和质量。我固然会在课堂上教给大家一些常见的思维方法,如分类法、反证法、举例法、因果法等等,但更具体的素材需要大家平时去积累。其实如果没有考试,大家是会比较懒惰的,懒于去梳理自己的思维,形成比较成熟的观点。我们在这里且不多提考试的好处,关键的是我们可以以备考为契机,通过练习来提高思考的速度,并且更重要的.是养成一种勤于思考、广泛涉猎的习惯,去关心家事、国事、天下事。这样考试的时候才会有话可说,字数才会够。
另外一个是应用英语语言的素质。有些同学不愁没话说,思维也很有广度和深度,但英语语言还是存在问题。这里面有一部分同学是重视不够,忽视了语法问题,出现了不少诸如单复数、冠词、词性等语法错误,甚至还有标点符号错误。而更多的同学是由于缺乏写作练习,在用词和造句方面做得不够好。作为代表我国英语技能教育最高水平的考试,专八肯定会比国内其他英语考试更加重视语言的质量。其实也很简单,就是用词和造句的准确性和多样性。这里的用词准确既包括词义准确,也包括搭配准确,还包括词语的感情色彩和正式程度的准确;造句的多样是指多种英语句式的灵活运用。这要求同学们平时一定要多做辨析词义、熟记搭配的工作,并且模仿优秀的文章进行写作。

参考范文:
Some people believe that attending a college or university in a foreign country has many advantages. They think that attending a college or university abroad can help them learn more than they can from universities in their own country, especially when they go to a developed country where they can catch up with the pace of scientific and technical advance of the world from that country' s modern lab facilities. In addition, they can pick up the latest developments of the living language there more quickly, develop their ability of coping with the routine matters such as finding a part-time job, renting a house and helping with the house work, and learn many new things to widen their views and broaden their minds.
But some people don't agree to it. They think that attending a college or university in foreign country also has many disadvantages and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. They hold that students studying in a foreign country will have more difficulties in both life and study. The most serious problem is the language barriers. They have to spend much time learning a foreign language and even if they have learned the language, they still can' t understand thoroughly what the foreigners and teachers say just because of the unfamiliar culture background and social cu
Oscar Wilde said,“I can resist everything except temptation”. In China today, nothing is more tempting than stock college students inevitably fall most tragic part of their story is that they never admit that they are tempted. They have “sound”reasons for their tenacity:
Some say, by getting involved in stock market, they can prepare their way for the post-graduation life. Still some say the ups and downs of the market will strengthen their will and help them face all possibilities in their life. Others say they can acquire economic and financial knowledge through watching the fluctuations of the stock market. Eye catching and sound as these reasons are, they actually are indicative of the fact that young people are far from being mature and know nothing about the cruelty of our share market as is pointed out in the media like Beijing News and ifeng. com.
First, the biggest capital for the young is not money but their youth in which they should concentrate on the most important things of the studies. They cannot afford to be distracted. Imagine, if a student plays the stock market game when it is time for class, how can he focus on his lessons? Secondly, buying and selling stocks can only get students into a messy can be placed in financial and debts jeopardy. Once in debt, their campus life is ruined. Finally, as to some students' claim that they can learn finance through stock market. I think their ideas are naive and superficial. As we know, stock market is far from mirroring the truth of our Economic and Financial reality. We have heard so much fraudulence and deceptions in the trading. So stock market is a trap for students.

Should We Put a Limit on Private Cars?
例文一:
Do It, but with Love and Sincerity
The year witness target=_blank class=infotextkey>witnessed the birth and boom of an activity online and offline both at home and abroad: the ice bucket challenge. Originally designed to attract public attention to the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the practice has aroused a heated debate during its development. There exist opposing views on this matter. Proponents, represented by the ALS Association, claim that it is beneficial and praiseworthy, for it substantially increased donations for sufferers of the disease. Opponents, however, argue that it wastes water, does harm to one’s body and risks becoming a form of entertainment or commercial advertisement.
Personally, I deem that both sides have an element of truth in their arguments and the issue should not be addressed in a simple and crude way.
On the one hand, no one can deny the fact that the practice has benefited patients of ALS. Many people have not only donated money but also begun to learn about the disease and pay more attention to it.
On the other hand, however, the activity does seem to have deviated from its original purpose. As we have heeded, quite a number of the attendants got involved to attract eyeballs to themselves, rather than the disease. Most remain ignorant about the disease though bombarded by pictures of celebrities soaked in iced water that went viral online.
In the final analysis, I should say that the activity is a two-edged sword. But we should not give up eating for fear of being choked. The best policy, as I see it, is to take measures to avoid the harm done by it. For instance, a campaign should be launched at the same time to provide people with more knowledge about the disease, and encourage them to help those in need with love and integrity. Besides, the activity can well take a different form in drought-stricken regions.
例文二:
Problems Created by the opulatton Explosion
This sudden increase in the population of the developing countries has come at a difficult time. Even if their population had not grown so fast they would have been facing a desperate struggle to bring the standard of living of their people up to the point at which there was enough food, housing, education, medical care and employment for everyone to have a reasonable poor countries are having to run faster and faster in their economic activity in order to stay in the same place, and the gap in wealth between rich and poor countries grows wider every year.
The most pressing problem created by the rapid increase in population is a shortage of food. More mouths have to be fed every year and yet a high proportion of the existing population are not getting enough of the right kind of food. Over the past two years the total amount of food has decreased, and of course the total amount of food per person has decreased even more sharply.
More and more of the babies born in developing countries have been surviving infancy, and now nearly half the people living in those countries are under the age of 15. The adults have to work harder than ever to provide for the needs of the children,who cannot contribute to the economy until they are older. There is a shortage of schools and teachers, and there are not enough hospitals, doctors and nurses. Farming land is becoming scarce,so country people are moving to the towns and cities in the hope of finding a better standard of living. But the cities have not been able to provide housing, and the newcomers live in crowded , there are too few jobs, and unemployment leads to further poverty.
例文三:
In a frantic society where efficiency is put great emphasis on, maybe it is high time we should take a breath and think about the bad consequences brought about by the head-spinning life. In the following excerpts, the author presents his opinion on the slow lifestyle versus the fast one. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: briefly the author’s opinion;2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
Fast-free Living What Americans would do if they were serious about stopping to smell the flowers? Is the American lifestyle slowing down, in a response to national trauma and the onset of war? Judging from commentaries by cultural analysts and newspaper columnists, the answer is yes.
A Boston Globe editorial looked back on a hard year: “But it brought growth, too, and a deeper understanding of just how fragile life is, and how what we often take for granted―the kiss goodbye in the morning, the chat with a friend, the Saturday soccer game―is what matters most.” An observation from The Washington Post: “People seem to walk more slowly. They are off their brisk, self-important stride... Motorists are driving better. They lay off their horns. They don’t jump lights.” From The Dallas Morning News: “Americans are experiencing a sort of ‘cocooning of the heart’, cultural experts say. They’re using this time to reconnect with their families and friends.”
If Americans really were beginning to slow down, the contemporary simplicity movement would not be adding another meeting or two a month to our schedules. The antidote to a frenetic work life wouldn’t be something called “power leisure”.
The celebration of the new slowness may not reflect reality, but it surely does reflect some degree of yearning. Yet there may be a few bold steps we should take to get us on the path to fast-free living.
Backpacks. The task of slowing the country down must begin with efforts aimed at prevention. It should begin early, as an inspection of any schoolchild’s backpack will reveal. These encumbrances typically have a capacity of one and a half cubic feet and hold loads of forty pounds. The contents, unpacked and spread out like a GI’s battle kit, represent hyper-achievement in microcosm. A simple yet revolutionary reform would be to decree that the capacity of school backpacks be reduced by two thirds.
Drive-thru windows. The whole point of these amenities is speed, and without intervention drive-thru service will only get faster. According to The Futurist, McDonald’s will soon introduce e-mail billing at some of its drive-thru facilities in southern California. Other chains are experimenting with an E-Z Pass system, similar to the one used for bridge and highway tolls; a transponder in the car would permit purchases to be deducted automatically from prepaid accounts.
Electric light. Another issue related to biorhythms is the seemingly inexorable drift toward a 24/7 economy. The rule of thumb is that if anything can be done twenty-four hours a day, it will be; daycare centers and dentists’ offices are now open at midnight. Almost by definition, the maintenance of basic diurnal rhythms is essential to a humane way of life. Political arithmetic may forever doom a significant rise in the gasoline tax, but what about levying a ten-cent-a-watt tax on light bulbs? One happy consequence might be a shift back to daytime baseball.
Computer keyboards. Yes, computers have made many aspects of modern life more tolerable, enabling stupendous feats of calculation, storage, and management. But they are also an attractive nuisance, putting unimaginable amounts of sheer capability―to buy, to pry, to surf, to meddle―into the hands of people unaccustomed to its wise use. One way would be to decide that every computer must have two separate keyboards―one with all the vowels and the other with the consonants.
The measures outlined above would be a start. Should more impetus be needed, we could ban cup holders from cars, demand that breaking news be delivered only by mail, and add a ball and a strike to the standard at-bat. If Americans intend to take slowness seriously, they need to start picking up the pace.

Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion, what are the qualities of a good neighbor? Use specific details and examples in your answer.
参考范文:
If you have a good neighbor, you are a lucky person. You have someone who cares about your needs and your property, who is helpful in the little day-to-day situations that come up, and who is supportive in times of crisis.
A good neighbor is someone who, for instance, understands that your children may occasionally run across his lawn, even though you tell them not to. He’ll realize that children can be careless about things like that, and he won’t make a big fuss about it unless it becomes a regular thing. In the same vein, he knows that you’ll understand if some of the trash from his trash cans blows across into your yard. IN other words, he is sensitive to the unintentional things that can happen. He doesn’t make a big deal about them.
A good neighbor is also respectful of your property. For example, she asks your permission before doing anything that interferes with what’s yours. This means she wouldn’t plant a huge tree in between your houses without asking how you feel about it. If she wanted to put up a fence, she would let you know first. She might work with you to decide where it should be placed. Maybe the two of you would even split the cost.
A good neighbor would lend you some milk if you ran out . She’d give you a ride to work if your car was broken, and let your children stay at her house in the evening if you got stuck working overtime. You would do the same for her. Both of you would help make the other’s life easier.
when something really awful happens to you, like a death in the family, a good neighbor will volunteer to help in any way he can. This could mean something small, like making some casseroles to put in your freezer to feed vesting relatives, Or it could mean something big, like helping you get through the sadness of the funeral.
I think only someone who has experienced a bad neighbor can really appreciate a good one! A good neighbor can be a good friend. He or she can make all the difference in the world to your life
Some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home. Often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have. Those with very busy jobs outside the house don’t always have time to cook. They like the convenience of eating out. Overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home.
While eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spend can add up. When I have dinner at restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars. I can buy a lot of groceries with that much money. Even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one person. That’s enough to feed the whole family at home.
Eating at home is better for you, too. Meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food--much more food than you need to eat at one meal. If you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients. You can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza. At home, you can control your portion size. You can serve yourself as little as you want. In a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food _because you paid for it_.
It’s true that eating out is convenient. You don’t have to shop, or cook, or clean up. But real home cooking doesn’t have to take a lot of time. There are lots of simple meals that don’t take long to make. In fact, they’re faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spend driving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home.
Both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying. Both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends. I prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best.
Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Owing to economic development and improvement in living standards of common people, more and more private cars are on road. Some believe private cars have brought convenience and mobility to the owners while others argue that private automobiles deserve a limit on the increasing number. As far as I see it, we should not put a limit on private cars.
First of all, the private car is a symbol of freedom and wealth. The private car has given us a freedom and convenience our ancestors could not dream of. We can travel to relatively remote places that it is hard to reach on foot or public transport rarely goes to. A car enables an individual or a family to travel at any time they wish. With a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the bitterly cold or under the scorching sun. Furthermore a car can serve as a symbol of one’s wealth, which makes him or her proud of his or her accomplishments and glorious past.
Secondly, a car can make our work more efficient and life more convenient. Nowadays many Chinese can enjoy the comfort and luxury of owning a private car. Having a car of one’s own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains; no more waste of time for waiting at the bus stop or train station. With a car one does not have to worry about the possible danger their child suffers when they are elbowing their way through the crowd, instead they can drop off the children at school on the way to work. In the case of illness, the car takes its owner or other sick person to hospital without any delay.
Last but not least, lifting bans on private cars will stimulate the automobile industry, which provides jobs for a large team of workers. Known as a sunrise industry, Chinese automobile industry needs strong and continuous fueling from domestic demand. If more people buy cars, the industry will embrace continued growth, thus contributing more to the national economy. Moreover, its growth will trigger the boom of related industries like iron and steel production and energy.
In conclusion, the advantages of private cars convince us that we should not put a limit on the number of private cars. What we should do at the moment is to perfect the transport infrastructure to ensure private cars to go faster and more safely.
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
参考范文:
I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities as to university libraries. Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learn about teamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a university education.
Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best education. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain. These include computerized programs and access to internet research databases that students can use to find information all around the world. If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it’s depriving those students of a tremendous amount of information.
Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up tremendously in last decade. More is being published on every subject, and every university wants to have this information available to its students.
It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open. Students need to have access to all the libraries' research tools as much of time as possible. Because students are young and can stay up all night studying, many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all night during exam periods. This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be there. It also costs money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that time.
Students at universities are only going to benefit from their education if they can get to all the tools they need to learn. Sports are secondary to the resources that students need from university libraries. For this reason, libraries should always be better funded than sport activities.
