2021年12月英语四级作文预测：离婚率
作文要求
1. 结婚人数下降，离婚人数上升的原因
2. 你的看法
范文：
During the period from 112127 to 2007, the number of marriage decreased from 12.51 million to 8.48 million,while the number of divorce rose from 0.8 million to 1.21 million.
We believe that three reasons may account for this phenomenon.
First, young people of marriage age are becoming fewer and fewer because of the family planning policy adopted since the late 11270s.
Second, the current society is one where fierce competition takes place everywhere, and many young people can’t and won’t get married before they embark on a promising career.
Third, today’s people put more and more emphasis on independence and freedom— they won’t get married before they find an ideal partner, and they will not hesitate to say goodbye when the spark of love dies down.
The great change, in my mind, signals the fundamental shift in people’s view on family and marriage.
This trend will probably continue as contemporary people pay more and more attention to high-quality marriage.
2021年12月英语四级作文预测：城市化
Directions:With the continuous development of China's economy, China's urbanization process is getting higher and higher, and the problems are becoming increasingly obvious. How to solve the housing problem in big cities.
1：城市化带来的住房问题有哪些危害
2：其他人的建议有哪些
3：我支持哪种观点，为什么
范文：
The shortage of housing in big cities is one of the most serious problems of modern living. Increasing numbers of people are finding it difficult to conduct normal family and work duties because they either have nowhere to live or their houses are inadequate. This is a problem that requires an urgent solution because it leads to social unrest and economic inefficiency.
Some people suggest that the solution to the problem is to build more high-rise apartments, others are in favor of underground housing areas. I prefer the first idea, because it is cheaper to build above ground than below. Besides, people prefer to live in the open air and see the sunshine.
The second idea is not practical. One reason for this is that it is dangerous to construct living places under streets and buildings. Another reason is that it would take too much time to carry out, and in the meantime the number of people waiting for houses would increase, thus making the problem worse.
2021年12月英语四级作文预测：电子书籍

3. 你的看法
范文：Will E-books Replace Traditional Books?
With the mass production of electronic devices and application of new technologies, mankind has entered an ‘e’ age. We have e-mails, e-tickets, e-tests, and e-books, and consequently, paper-based materials gradually vanish. Nowadays, e-books become extremely popular among youngsters, while traditional ones seem suffer a great loss of their readers.
For some people, electronic and internet based books are convenient and accessible. Environmentalists even advocate the benefit of e-books on the ground of forest protection.E-books lovers even assert that traditional books will disappear in the near future.
I have been a book worm for a long time. For me, reading experience is unique and rewarding. Nothing can be more thought-provoking than thumbing through a book bought years ago under a table lamp in a dark night. As to note-taking, scanning and skimming, and portability, traditional books have advantages. Just as the invention of camera didn’t put an end to the history of painting, traditional books are, and will still be, an intimate friend of readers.
2021年12月英语四级作文预测：网络促销
1.网络促销形式多种多样
2.你对此有什么看法
范文：My view on online promotion
Nowadays, online shopping is very popular, and sellers on the Internet grasp every opportunity to promote their products. For example, they often launch group purchasing activities in every festival to attract buyers. Some sellers persuade buyers to become the membership of their brands and provide some discount products for their members regularly.
In my opinion, it is advisable to buy products online when in promotion because the price is really reasonable. But some points we must pay attention to. First, if the price is very low, the qualities of products can’t be guaranteed. Second, some sellers have promoted the price before making a discount, so you need to compare whether the discount is true or not.
In conclusion, we should treat online promotion carefully and wisely, and not buy something that we don’t need just because of the lower price.
2021年12月英语四级作文预测：品德培养
作文要求
1. 学校教育除了培养学生的学习能力之外，还应注重诸如孝顺、诚实等的品德培养
2. 品德培养的重要性
范文：Character Education
Normally school education aims to cultivate students' abilities to learn and think. But more and more people realize that without the cultivation of moral norms and ethics, we can hardly expect a society to be nice enough for leading a harmonious life. As a result, schools should attach more attention to develop students’ character education, such as qualities of honesty and filial piety.
Character education plays an important role in the development of future society. It meets the need of emphasizing and developing the students’ all-round qualities. In the long run, it protects students from being selfish, indifferent, conceited as well as impolite in their daily lives. What's more, it teaches students how to learn efficiently, how to live colorfully, how to do things seriously, for their own future, and also for the future of their motherland.
2021年12月英语四级作文预测：课外活动
作文要求
1.课外活动好处
2.课外活动重要性
范文：
Universities provide students with an environment in which to learn, mature and began to realize their potential. While some students maintain a rigid, singular focus on their studies —— the next exam, essay or assignment —— others engage in a variety of extracurricular activities out side the classroom. Participation in such activities can greatly benefit students in their academic studies, chosen careers, and future life.
The most immediate benefit of extracurricular activities is to the participants’ studies. Spending an appropriate amount of time participating in sports, clubs or volunteer work can actually be an excellent way for students to relieve everyday stress. Students who are less stressed out will naturally be happier and healthier. In turn, they will be able to work more efficiently and effectively in their studies and attain better results. In addition, participation in extracurricular activities will also assist university students in their careers after graduation. Increasingly, employers seeking job applicants are not interested solely in students with a high GPA. Many companies also consider involvement in other activities when assessing which applicants are most qualified for the position because extracurricular activities also enable students to improve their communication, leadership and teamwork skills, which are important skills that they will need to succeed in their careers. Last but not least, students who take part in activities after school will learn how to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” In other words, those who do noting else but work or study all day will become bored, uninspired, and apathetic towards life. Extracurricular activities can give students a greater appreciation for sports, hobbies and community service, and help them become healthier and more well-rounded individuals.
While academics are obviously important, it is neither necessary or advisable for students to spend on hundred percent of their time on their books. University students who devote some of their time and energy to extracurricular activities will be doing a service to their studies, their careers, and even their future life.

范文：Effects of Financial Crisis on College Students
Since the financial crisis swept the world, the global economy has sunk into a severe recession. It's hard to get through a day without hearing or reading news about the devastating effects of the crisis：A world of companies go bankrupt, millions of employees are laid off.
College students inevitably fall victim to this pervasive slump as well. On top of that, internships and job vacancies are reduced to the minimum as companies keep shrinking. New graduates find themselves hard to get a job, not to speak of a satisfactory one.Lastly, more students are probably out there anxiously looking for part-time jobs now that they have to help cover their expenses in this gloomy economy.
Students must act promptly and wisely. Since we definitely will be facing a competitive job market, it's crucial that we submit high quality resumes. Therefore, we must commit more to our professional studies. Even do better, master more relevant job skills as a double security. Furthermore, apply for scholarships and grants, as these are still available and we don't have to pay them back. As for the safety issues, trust our instinct - there's no free lunch in this world. Anything that promises quick returns without much work is a sure trap. Stay alert and protect ourselves.

范文：My Views on Knockoffs
As is vividly depicted in the picture, the bears are painted to look like pandas. This picture reminds us of a social phenomenon that China is now suffering from an overflow of various knockoffs in the market.
Various knockoffs are so widespread in our market that almost everybody has frustrating experiences of buying them. Then, what should we do? In my view, it's our obligation to support authentic products and fight against knockoffs. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, we should support ingenuity and originality as well as authentic products, which are based on creativity. Secondly, knockoffs represent plagiarism in design and production. Thirdly, support for authentic products and fighting against knockoffs can help form a fine competitive atmosphere in our society so as to promote the comprehensive progress of the industry and the society.
In conclusion, we have every reason to fight against knockoffs and support ingenuity and creativity.

范文：
Recently, the living condition of some college students is frequently referred to as “dwelling-narrowness”. In fact, this embarrassing situation is very serious that few of us can fail to meditate on the causes of it.
In the first place, it’s difficult for graduates to bear the high cost of life in big cities. Poor payment thus gives rise to bad living conditions. Next, college students are more ambitious. Many of them are eager to compete in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing, where talents are abundant and positions are limited. Refusing to go back hometown let them suffer in big cities, which indirectly make their situation worse.
Generally speaking, college students should be more qualified to better themselves and adjust their goals according to the reality.

2.你对这个热潮的看法
范文：The Popularity of Chinese Learning
As is vividly shown in the picture, the mother puts a bowl of Chinese character soup in front of her little son, which implies that the mother asks her son to learn Chinese for his future. Nowadays there is a dramatic increase in the number of people who learn Chinese in foreign countries, such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Many different reasons contribute to the craze for Chinese learning. Firstly, in the past decades, China has witnessed a dramatic improvement in economy. Chinese political and economic influences prompt more foreigners to learn Chinese. Secondly, with the great leap in economy, China has created more job opportunities. As a result, if a foreigner knows Chinese very well, he or she will have better opportunities to get promoted. Finally, the unique Chinese culture also attracts great attention from foreigners.
We should be proud of this phenomenon, but we can never take it for granted. As a Chinese, I think we should work harder for the sake of our country. Only when China develops further can this phenomenon last longer.

On the one hand，college graduates can contribute a lot to the development of the community.As we all know.the staff members in the communities are mainly made up of retired workers before，most of whom are not well educated.If college graduates can work in the communities.they can introduce some new concepts and methods to the community.On the other hand.graduates Can also gain a lot from working as community workers.Community is the smallest unit in the society.Students can give full play to their abilities because they have to deal with various people and solve many thorny issues.Besides.one can also improve his practical skills，such as interpersonal skills and organizing ability.
In my opinion，learning practical skills is of great importance for a graduate.Therefore，it is a wise choice for college graduates to have an experience as community workers.

2021年12月英语六级作文预测：代沟
The generation gap
代沟
Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is verymarked indeed.
Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment ismade from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it istoday. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy morefreedom. They grow up quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more ofthemselves and do not blindly accept the idea of their elders. Events which the older generationremembers vividly are nothing more than past history.
Just look at the teenage girls who scream hysterically over the pop stars and the teenage boyswho copy the stars and grow their hair long and are no longer ashamed of wearing "pretty" clothes, are simply breaking through the chinese traditional reserve and fear of showing theirfeelings. What is more, nowadays most boys and girls are good companions and some of themeven fall in "puppy love." A lot of older people sigh and say, "we did not use to do like this."
Do you think the older people's criticism stems from jealousy just because they could not ordid not behave in the same way when they were young?
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：新时尚
Exploited by New Fashions in Clothing. Do you Agree or Disagree with ThisStatement?
你是否同意现在衣服样式变化很大这种观点?
Over the years, the great majority of men have successfully resisted all attempts to makethem change their style of dress. The same cannot be said of women. Each year a few so called "top designers" in Paris and London lay down the law and women the whole world over rush toobey. This year, they decide in their arbitrary fashion, skirts will be short and waists will behigh; zip s are in and buttons are out. Next year the law is reversed and far from takingexception, no one is even mildly surprised.
If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame, because they are afraid of the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion. They are annually blackmailed by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have beenworn only a few times have to be discarded because of old fashion. When you come to think ofit, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes andannouncing that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the deliberate creation of waste. Many women spendvast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women whocannot afford to discard clothing in this way, waste hour s of their time altering the dressesthey have. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort anddurability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of thefact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, providing they look charmingand attractive.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusion to be drawn isobvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes reflect basic qualities offickleness and instability? Do men's unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities ofstability and reliability? This is for you to decide.
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：彩票游戏
What is your view towards lottery games?
你对彩票游戏的看法
Nowadays a fashionable street scene is the buying and selling of lot tery tickets. People crowdaround either in front of big buildings or at street corners, purchasing coupons of various kinds, such as those of social welfare, sports industry and football games.
Investigations made among those "lottery citizens" show that they do it for different purposes. Some say that they play the game just for fun, others insist that they want to sponsorathletic development, still some others simply decide to try their luck.
However, I believe the aim behind the game, if fully exposed, is to make easy money, as it issaid the prize winner can get millions of yuan in an instant, which is obviously greattemptation. In my mind, lottery is much the same as gambling in nature and it certainlybrings more negative effects than positive effects, if any.
First, the overwhelming majority, being misled by earning-quick-buck mentality, areimpatient and impulsive to put their time and money into wrong investment.
Secondly, not a few people, being indulged in lottery, lose not only initiative for work but alsointerest in life.
Thirdly, some individuals, having gambled away all their money, may commit crimes.
fourthly, young people, particularly students (even pupils) may step by step become addicted tolottery and finally leave their studies. I think the cliche "reaping what one sows" is stillapplicable today and "sowing" takes time and hard work to have instant reaping is definitelyone's wishful thinking.
Last of all, since gambling and lottery both mean risking money on luck, why the former isforbidden by law and the latt er is so much encouraged?
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：关于手机
About the Mobile Phone
Human creativeness is boundless. With the advance of science and technology, a completelynew means of communication — the Mobile Phone — came to the world, which, being notfixed in one place like ordinary phones, greatly facilitates telephone communication.
The mobile phone spreads so rapidly, first from businessmen to office workers, then to townshipenterprise managers, then to journalists and then nowadays to people of all trades andprofessions. At present, it seems that nowhere we do not hear the musical ringing of the mobilephone . People at first buy phones for convenience and later for fashion. To occupy thisincreasingly big market, the manufacturers are worrying their brains into making various typesof phones, large or small, coloured or black and white, multi-functional or with video cameras, to satisfy the needs. New fashions appear almost every day.
However, it is a great pity that the inventors of the mobile phone did not expect the negativeeffects caused by their scientific merits. Because of the abuse of the mobile phone, aircraftmechanism refuses to work properly, libraries are no longer so quiet, restaurants are filled withnoisy phone talk, teaching is incessantly interrupted by the signals...
Here, in the picture, a concert is going on. The pianist is supposed to be playing Beethoven'ssymphony when, all of a sudden, a man with a tie stood up, talking loudly over his mobilephone and telling his friend that he was attending a concert of classical music. The audienceshuddered with panic and the pianist was nearly shocked to death.
It is not infrequent that the above scene happens in public places. True, human beings havethe right to enjoy modern civilization, nevertheless, should they know how to conductthemselves in the modern civilized society?
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：英国就业率
seeding employment in u.k.
英国就业率
As can be seen clearly from the graph, the difference in the numbers of people working in thethree major employment sectors in the u.k. economy in the early 1980s was relatively small, with about 4 million workers in engineering, 5 million in agriculture and 5.5 million in theservice industries.
However, the period 1980-1990 saw significant changes in the relative sizes of these threeemployment sectors. there was a rapid decline in employment in agriculture, with the numberof workers dropping by more than 80%. On the other, employment oppor tunities in the serviceindustries increased sharply, especially after 1986, whereas the engineering sectorexperienced a gradual but constant decline.
Trends in the above graph clearly indicate that the service industries will continue to employthe largest number of people at least for the next few years, while the engineering sector willneed somewhat fewer workers in the next decade. On the whole, the total number ofemployment offered in these three sectors was much smaller than ten years before and theredoesn't seem to be any likelihood for improvement in the near future. So, students who aregoing to graduate soon may need to prepare to seek employment elsewhere.
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：青少年犯罪
About Juvenile Delinquency
关于青少年犯罪
One of the much-talked-about present-day social problems is juvenile delinquency, and its rateof frequency is seemingly on the rise.
It is reported in newspapers that the delinquents range in age from 12 to 18. Only a smallportion have committed serious crimes like kidnapping and murdering. Those cases arehandled through the court system. Most of the delinquencies fall into four categories: brawling, including gang fighting with deadly weapons; theft, mostly petty, sexually promiscuousbehaviour and addiction to drugs. The delinquents are generally placed under temporarysupervision by neighbourhood committees, work units or reform schools.
The causes of juvenile delinquency are varied. Through media we often come across thefollowing cases:
Ill-treatment to teenagers by their step-fathers or stepmothers often lead to family tragedies. School pupil delinquents, being not properly cared for, have chronic behaviour problems. Theirparents are too busy either with business or with gambling. Still, there are cases resulted fromparents' or grandparents' indulgence to their darlings. Petty theft once or twice is notpunished but encouraged. Gradually these petty thieves grow addicted to stealing . Adolescentstried drugs mostly out of curiosity before they finally became habitual drug-takers.
Not a few examples can be found around us in our daily life. Limited by time and space, I haveto skip them over. However, juvenile delinquency, being a serious social problem concerningthe young generation, certainly deserves special attention. I think of all the things we can do, the most fundamental one is deepening and strengthening education so as to ultimately savethe young.
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：不随地吐痰
No Spitting!
不随地吐痰
With SARS gradually passing its peak, more and more people take off their gauze masks. Theyfeel released and have more freedom to breathe in fresh air. However, a certain number ofpeople have restored their bad habit and start to spit everywhere. Now and then, whether inthe street, or on the bus, or in city gardens, we will see some people, the fine ladies andgentlemen, spitting without feeling a bit ashamed as shown in the picture. When shown the "nospitting!" sign, they just turn a blind eye to it. Still worse, people around have to be on guardagainst the sudden at tack of "spits hot" from the spitters.
Spitting is a terrible habit. For one thing, it is entirely uncivilized. The world has entered the 21st century and human civilization has reached a more advanced stage. Why can't thosepeople remove this ugly habit? Is it because they think the earth is a gigantic spit toon? Foranother thing, spitting does great harm to public health. According to chemical laboratory test, one sputum contains thousands upon thousands of germs and SARS viruses if the spitter is aSARS sufferer. As was reported, the Beijing municipal government once mobilized an army of athousand sanitation workers to clean out the mess in Tian An Men Square.
For people to get rid of this uncivilized behaviour, we suggest local authorities strengtheneducation by publicizing the harmfulness of spitting, and at the same time, enforce the law ofpunishment.
Finally, we, citizens of the earth, must be self-disciplined, love our mother earth and don'tdirty her.
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：金钱有多重要
How Important Is Money?
No one would argue, I think, that money is unimportant. There are certain things that humanbeings need — food, shelter, medical care and these things cost money. But if one has enoughmoney to live on, to pay for the basic essentials of life, is it important to have a lot more moneythan that? Will your life improve in proportion to the amount of money that you have?
Well, there is no denying that money can buy a lot. Maybe you do not need much money to payfor a simple shelter, but how about if you want a nice big apartment in a nice neighbourhood, or if you want to buy a house? In fact, people do get on each other's nerves if they are crowdedtogether in a small kitchen, if a married couple cannot but share a room with their parents, ifchildren are not allowed to have a little privacy of their own.
Moreover, it is nice to get a little pleasure out of life, a little fun from time to time. Unfortunately, many of the fun things that you can do today cost money. In modern cities, forexample, on any night, outstanding performers appear in night clubs and on concert stages. Furthermore, you can dine on foods from every corner of the world in the restaurants. So howcan it be that many people in modern cities do not have fun? Simple, they do not have themoney to take advantage of all these attractions.
So, is money the road to happiness? Not really. Large numbers of people work every day, workovertime, work weekends, and make a lot of money. Are they happy? No. They have no time toform or maintain friendship, no time to enjoy themselves.
Surely everyone has thought at times, "If only I had a lot of money, I would be the happiestperson in the world." But it is important to remember that money is only a means to an end, not the end itself.
2021年12月英语六级作文预测：小企业的劣势
The Decline of Small Businesses
小企业的劣势
During the recent years, countless small busines ses have closed their doors and gonebankrupt. The corne r grocer's , the small dress shop, the beauty salon, all are victims ofmarket competition. Most of them are replaced by other small businesses that temporarilyfill the needs of the neighbourhood but frequently end up, sharing the same fate ofdissolution. More often, the market served by small businesses is taken over by large storesand shops. Businesses like the corner groceries and the dress shops have gone to bigdepartment stores and supermarkets, which not only keep adequate store and variety, butalso provide better environment and service.
Appar ently, it is increasingly difficult for small businesses to succeed in the present complexeconomic structure based, as it is, on small profit margins and tremendou s sales volume. Lackof enough fund and poor management may be the chief cause of this tragedy. In addition, thequality of their commodities often causes suspicion of the customers as many smallbusinesses are found to sell fake products for more profit, thus earning themselves an evilreputation. As to shopping environment and convenient service, they are unmentionable. All of the above speed up their bankruptcy.
Today, with the establishment of more and more groups and big corporations, how smallbusinesses can survive in the tide of the market competitive economy has become a hotsocial issue.

Advantage and Disadvantages of Being an Only Child
独生子女的利弊
My father used to talk to me about his five siblings. He used to say that I was unfortunate thatI had none. And I used to envy him and wonder how nice it would be to have a houseful ofbrothers and sisters. I also used to wonder what would happen to me if I were to lose myparents.
Frankly speaking, I do not have to share anything with anybody. I own all my parents' love. Ican ask for anything I want. I always wear new clothes and eat the best food. Since my parentsspend all their money on me, I can study at the best university of the country.
Lucky as I am, I now and then feel very lonely and I have nobody to complain about myloneliness. How I long for a quarrel with my brothers and sisters! Of course I have classmatesand friends, but they are different. Sometimes I feel so pessimistic that after my parents leavethe world, I will have no blood relatives left to share with me the fond memories of my parents. Furthermore, I am likely to become selfish while I realize the world is for sharing.
So, I am happy but lonely; I am fortunate but piteous; I am loved but spoiled; I am well-bredbut selfish, because I am the only child of the family.

The Growth of Fast Food in China
快餐在中国快速发展
In present-day China, we can find two types of fast food: western and Chinese. However, notuntil the recent decade has western fast food become popular in China. Before the firsthamburger walked its way into the Chinese food market, we had little idea about such terms ashot dog, pizza, potato chips, let alone Kentucky and McDonald's. It is the reform and opening-up policy that has brought about the interflow of the food culture between China and thewestern countries.
Fast food, both Chinese and western, has several advantages. In the first place, fast food, as ischaracterized by its name, is fast. The food is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers. This saves people's precious time, and consequently goes well with the tempo of life inmodern society.
Secondly, it is very convenient. As we know, fast food restaurants are much the same ascafeterias. Customers may feel free to help themselves to any variety provided and eat to theirhearts'content.
Thirdly, fast food restaurants are environmentally comfortable. Clean dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people's appetite to eat more.
The above-mentioned advantages make fast food become rooted in almost all parts of thecountry and enjoy popularity among people. That's also why nowadays Singapore fast food, Turkish fast food and Indian-Pakistani fast food have found their homes in China.
As every coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvantages such as lack of nutrition, dulltaste. Nevertheless, these are minor points compared with its advantages. Since most peopleagree with fast food, it t ends to grow more rapidly.转自：四六级考研真题，版权归原创者所有，如有侵权请联系删除。

【话题分类】
环境
【题目解析】
题目大意：自然资源，如石油，森林和水资源，在以惊人的速度被消耗。这会导致什么问题？如何解决这些问题？
【难点】本题的思路展开对考生来说不太难，在词汇方面可能会是短板。环境课题相关的题目不太复杂，通常是如何治理，如何改善。建议考生在考试前针对性的做一些词汇和搭配积累。有条件的话，能把常用的论点写成句子做练习会更好。
【写作思路】
开头段：由于人类对自然资源的长年消耗，人们很久之前就开始这种缺少节制的使用导致的问题。这些问题将需要全世界的共同努力才有希望解决。
主体第一段：论述一系列产生的问题：环境的问题；社会的问题；
主体第二段：提出可能的建议：'节流'-从政策引导，和个人的层面减少消耗；'开源'-积极投入清洁能源和替代能源的开发；
结尾段：总结问题和解决，适当做出呼吁。
【参考范文】Humanity's growing consumption of natural resources has raised an alarm for the whole world, because the consequences will be devastating for the future of human beings. To resolve this issue, both short-term actions and long-term planning will be required.
Obviously, resource depletion makes the Earth environment suffer from a series of damage, such as loss of forest cover, soil erosion, increased flooding, and drought. These problems all contribute to the change in world climate, leading to further concerns like global warming and extreme weather. Due to these changes, the Earth is now at a critical point where the life of all species is in danger, including human beings. Increasing resource extraction does not just lead to environmental problems, but is also associated with social issues such as human rights violations and poor working conditions. These negative social impacts are most strongly felt in regions with low environmental and social standards, including Africa, Latin America and Asia.
In order to continue to thrive on this planet, the international community should join hands towards a common international objective of how consumption, as well as exploitation, can be reduced. For now, it might be necessary to set a limit on the amount of resources, such as water, that can be used for domestic and industrial purposes. In particular, for the regions with high levels of per-capita resource use, they will need to sharply decrease their resource use in absolute terms. In the long run, renewables, such as solar and wind power, can be explored more and utilized to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. Companies can, for instance, be trained on lean manufacturing, while consumers sensitized on how to adopt re-use, reducing wastage, and recycling techniques.
In conclusion, if humans continue to excessively consume natural resources, we will possibly find it too late to make any difference one day. The lifestyle of individuals and the conduct of business will need to become more sustainable, with collaborative efforts of governments and the public.

WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
In some countries, university students live at home, while in other countries, university students go to other cities rather than live with their family.
Do you think the benefits of living away from home outweigh the disadvantages?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
【话题分类】
社会类
【题目解析】
题目大意：在一些国家，大学生住在家里，而在另外一些国家，大学生去其他城市，不和家庭成员住在一起。你认为离开家里生活带来的好处是否大于问题？
题型特点：利弊比较类题型，需要围绕题目所给现象提出其带来的优点和缺点，并进行展开讨论。
本文论文推进：开头段引入话题。让步段说明离家居住存在一定弊端，比如疏远了和家人的关系，立论段说明对于大学生而言，这种决定带来更多利处，比如提高社交能力以及独立性等。结尾重申观点。
【难点】题目针对的群体是university students，即讨论对于大学生而言，离开家里生活带来的利弊比较，注意结合群体特征进行针对性的讨论说明。
【写作思路】
开头段：大学时光是学生成长成才的重要阶段。不同的学生对于是否在大学阶段离家生活有不同的选择。就我而言，这一决定利大于弊。
让步段：诚然，大学生离开家会一定程度上导致家庭关系疏远。很明显，远距离容易导致关系疏远，因为家庭成员都各自忙碌，尤其是那些满心期待加入新鲜大学生活的学生。因此，缺乏及时的沟通和有效的交流会导致疏远的家庭关系，在没有家庭成员陪伴和支持的情况下，更加加剧了大学生的孤独感。
主体段：但是，我们不应该忽略当大学生选择离开家庭的庇护也会有潜在的好处。一方面，大学生可以抓住这个机会提高人际交往技能，这将成为他们在未来激烈竞争环境下的有利优势。离家在外为他们创造了和同龄人交流的机会，而不是花费大量的时间在家庭琐事上，这意味着大学生在这个微型社会里会逐步提高沟通能力、解决问题能力以及合作能力等，为未来融入社会打下良好基础。另一方面，当离家在外，个人独立性可以被激发并培养，这也被视作成人的标志。一旦大学生有了独立的意识，他们就能逐步掌握独立处理问题或者独立判断的技能。
结尾段：总的来说，对于大学生而言，离家在外的确会产生更多积极影响，尤其是提高人际交往能力和自主性，尽管他们也需要注意维持良好的家庭关系。
【参考范文】
The college years are regarded as a critical period for students' growth and accomplishment. Different university students make their own choices about whether to live away from home when being educated. From my perspective, the decision of leaving home certainly brings more benefits than drawbacks.
Admittedly, university students' living away from home may, to some extent, lead to family alienation. It seems clear that the long distance easily breeds the estrangement considering that family members are all engaged in their own schedule, especially those young people who are readily involved in the fresh and brilliant college life. Therefore, it is the lack of timely effective communication that is likely to result in distant family relationship, exacerbating the sense of loneliness among university students when losing the company and support from family members.
However, we should not ignore the potential benefits for university students' growth when they choose to leave the shelter of family. For one thing, college students can seize the opportunity to develop interpersonal skills, which can be a strong edge during the future fierce competition. Living away from home creates tremendous chances for students to communicate with peers instead of spending a huge amount of time on meaningless household affairs, which means students will gradually improve communication, problem-solving and cooperation abilities in the miniature community, laying a good foundation for later integration into the society. For another, individual independence can be stimulated and thus cultivated when living far from home, which can be considered as a symbol for adult identity. Once the awareness of being independent is generated among college students, the skills, from handling problems by themselves to making judgements independently can be mastered progressively.
In conclusion, for university students, living away from home exerts more positive impacts on the development of interpersonal skills and autonomy, although they should also pay attention to maintaining close family bonds.

WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Some experts suppose that when a country is already rich, any additional increase in economic wealth does not make its citizens happier.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
【话题分类】
抽象类
【题目解析】
该题目翻译为："一些专家认为，当一个国家已经很富裕时，经济财富的任何额外增加都不会使其国民更幸福。 你在多大程度上同意或不同意?"乍一看，很多同学可能会觉得这个题目有一定难度，不知道从何写起。我们在看到类似自己不熟悉的话题时，可以采用"关键词突破"的方式，比如题目中提到"rich country" 我们可以思考富有的国家意味着什么？全民富有？哪些国家是现在所谓富有的国家？"additional economic wealth" 额外的经济财富意味着什么？可以给国家，给个体带来什么？仅仅是额外的经济财富就足够了吗？"make citizens happier" 幸福感除了有钱，还需要什么？一个很有钱的人幸福吗？为什么？如何能够更加幸福？和金钱有关系吗？ 实际上，题目中虽然谈论的是国家，同学们在思考的时候，完全可以看作成"一个非常非常有钱的人，继续追求财富还会给他带来幸福吗？"
【写作思路】
开头段：改写题目，阐述个人立场
主体1段：有些人认为经济的不断发展可以有效的消除贫富差距，让人们的生活更加美好，但在一些富裕国家，经济的发展以环境和人的健康为代价，人民的幸福指数并没有随着经济增长而提升。
主体2段：人民幸福感的提升并不单纯依靠经济的增长。当人们基本需要满足后，他们要实现自我价值，得到社会认同，用更多时间陪伴家人朋友，发展自身爱好，这些幸福的源泉都不是用金钱能够衡量的。
总阶段：我们生活在一个社会中而非生活在经济中，对于富有的国家而言，幸福的提升依靠的是社会的可持续发展和人民对于生活意义的清晰认知。
【参考范文】
The relationship between economic prosperity and human well-being has been the subject of a long-standing debate. Many people believe that achieving more affluence will add value to the happiness of citizens in developed countries. However, I favour the contrary claim that growing national happiness is not always accompanied by more national wealth.
Some people argue that people's happiness is improved by the development in economy. The gap of wealth exists everywhere, even in wealthy countries. Therefore, the country needs continuous economic growth to narrow wealth disparity so that to increase people's happiness. For example, the government can improve the living standards of the impoverished by levying taxes on the rich and distributing additional benefits. This way, people can live in better houses, enjoy comfortable working conditions and various recreational facilities. In affluent societies, however, the restless pursuit of a growing economy generates tremendous work pressure and a degraded natural environment, diminishing citizens' happiness index. For example, United States witnessed enormous economic growth since World War II, but surveys failed to show any upswing in life satisfaction during the postwar boom.
Besides, economic expansion alone is not sufficient to make improvements in happiness in rich countries. After economic stability is attained, the pursuit of happiness depends far more on self-realisation and social recognition rather than on wealth. Therefore, people need to do something that can hardly be measured by money to achieve happiness, such as charity works, environmental protection, or helping the disadvantaged. In addition, when basic needs are satisfied, people will pay more attention to leisure time and improve the quality of interpersonal relationships. On holidays, for instance, people tend to accompany family and friends or foster hobbies rather than working overtime. Only these actions can give people a clear life purpose and increase their happiness level.
In conclusion, while happier countries tend to be richer countries, happiness cannot continue to rise in line with additional wealth. Happiness requires a sustainable society, a harmonious life, and a clear sense of meaning in life. After all, we live in a society, not an economy.

WRITING TASK 2
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
People who decide on a career path early in their lives and keep to it are more likely to have a satisfying working life than those who change jobs frequently.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

工作类
【题目解析】
题目大意：与那些频繁更换工作的人相比，那些在年轻时就决定职业道路并坚持下去的人更有可能拥有令人满意的工作生活。你在多大程度上同意或不同意？
题型特点：同意与否题型，可以选择完全认同/反对、倾向认同/反对、需要分情况讨论等立场。
本文结构：开头段引入话题和表明立场、第一个主体段论述稳定的职业并不总是带来幸福感、第二个主体段介绍更换职业的好处、结尾重申观点。
【难点】题目讨论的核心是是否更换工作，需要注意体现稳定工作和更换工作之间的差异。
【写作思路】
开头段：工作者定期寻找新工作的情况越来越普遍，往往在技术突破或政策变化时发生。根据一些专家的说法，这可能不利于他们的工作满意度；如果能保持在同一行当，就应该避免离开。这种说法符合大多数人的情况吗？
主体段1：在同一行业长期服务并不总是让员工感到快乐。最广为人知的原因是，许多人的第一份工作并不是他们认为最有成就感的工作。年轻人没有太多的实际经验，早期往往根据书本或朋友的推荐来决定从事什么职业，而工作的负面特点直到他们熟悉了日常工作后才会浮现出来。导致满意度降低的另一个因素是疲劳。在多年重复同一类型的任务后，最初的激情和职业发展所需的好奇心可能会消失，最终破坏员工的目的感和成就感。
主体段2：有种假设是只要工作稳定就能带来满足感，这种是不正确的。其他因素，如工作场所的空间和关系的提升，可能是新工作的主要吸引之处。物理环境——办公室地点、室内设计，一些情况下还包括个人工作空间——都会影响员工的日常效率，使成就感上升或下降，因此环境不理想可能很恼人，会让职业人士考虑换个环境。与同事的互动同样会影响工作情绪。跳槽的强烈动机往往是不想和难缠的上司和同事打交道，而不是想从头开始下一个篇章，。
结尾段：总而言之，我不认为漫长的任期一定是工作满意度的主要促成因素。在设计职业生涯的蓝图时，并在做出影响职业生涯的决定时，对其他选择持更开放的态度。
【参考范文】
It is increasingly common for working professionals to search for new jobs periodically, often because of technological breakthroughs or policy changes. According to some experts, this can be detrimental to their level of satisfaction and should be avoided if they can stay in the same line of work. Is this really the case for most people?
Long-term service in the same profession does not always make employees happy. The most widely recognized reason for this is that many people's first jobs are not the ones that they find the most fulfilling. Young adults, without much real-world experience, tend to base their early employment decisions on recommendations from books or their friends, but the less-than-desirable features of a job do not surface before they become familiar with the daily routines. Another factor contributing to a lower level of satisfaction is fatigue. After repeating the same type of tasks for years, the initial passion and curiosity necessary for professional development can be lost, ultimately undermining workers' sense of purpose and fulfilment.
The assumption that steady employment alone results in satisfaction is always misguided. Other factors, such as improved space and relationships, can be the main attractions of a new job. The physical environment, including office location, interior design and, in some cases, personal workspace, influences workers' day-to-day efficiency and therefore their sense of accomplishment, so poor conditions in this regard may be irritating and prompt professionals to consider switching to a new environment. Interactions with colleagues, similarly, can impact their mood at work. Not wanting to deal with difficult supervisors and coworkers, not the desire to start the next chapter from scratch, is often a strong motivation for job hopping.
To summarize, I do not believe that a lengthy tenure is necessarily a major contributor to job satisfaction. When designing blueprints of their working life, people should be open-minded to alternatives when making any career-defining decisions.
