Should we help others in need?
Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture. But what’s strange nowadays is that people dare not show their helping hands to those in need. I would like to elaborate my views on this issue.
Firstly, I think people’s moral sense has degraded. When egoism gains the upper hand,many people find it grow hard to help others. Secondly, there is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions. So common people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.
In general, I contend the idea that we should be warm-hearted and offer help as well as look out for potential hazards so as not to be deceived.

Dishonesty in Tourism
Since 1980s, the economy of China has developed greatly. With more money in their pockets, people are spending more money on travelling, which has brought prosperity to tourism. Nevertheless, many travel agencies or agents are reported to cheat their customers and make money in a dishonest way.
The reason for dishonesty in tourism is various. First and for most, money is the spur. Some travel agencies use all means to cheat their customers in order to get more money. Secondly, to survive in the fierce competition, travel agencies have to make enough profits. To realize profit maximization, they cheat. Last but not least, their victims seem to have little sense of defending their rights.
To regulate travel agencies and protect the rights of tourists, the government has issued various laws. However, I think tourists can take the following tips to avoid travel scams. First, choose a trustworthy travel agency for your trip. Secondly, use your common sense and keep alert while travelling. Finally, defend yourself if your rights are violated.

Sample:
Equality of Education Opportunity
In recent years the problems which are caused by the inequality of education opportunity have attracted the public's attention. For instance, the backward teaching facilities and dilapidated school buildings in rural areas are in sharp contrast to those advanced facilities and well-equipped classrooms in urban areas, students from poor families cannot go to universities because of the high tuition.
There are several factors which contribute lo these problems. First, the distribution of resources is unbalanced between rural and urban schools. Second, educational loans for poor students are far from enough. Third, the inequality in some schools' admission policies also turns many students away. The education inequality can result in many bad impacts. On one hand, it can affect people’s future employment. On the other hand，it is the root of many social problems.
To change this situation, I think, we should take the following measures. Firstly, the government's spending on education should be increased and the allocation of public resources gives priority to rural and weak urban schools. Secondly, the implementation of the government financial aid system for students should be accelerated. Thirdly, the government should speed up education reforms to ensure everyone has equal access to schools.
范文与译文：
As the development of the mass media, we can have access to the instant news immediately. We can read the news by the Internet, it is the fastest way to get the first-hand information. To catch people’s attention, some media will exaggerate the facts, they always bring the false report. They should be punished.
A few days ago, it has been reported a Chinese woman dragged a foreigner’s clothes to ask him for compensating her bike. A pictured was posted in the news. People criticized this woman for behaving so rude in front of a foreigner. The woman couldn’t bear the pressure, she stood out and told the true that the foreigner beat her and said the rude words at her first. She was under the false scold.
The news was reported without further research, which brought great trouble to the woman. Many celebrities are facing the same situation, the media report their news by exaggerating the fact, just to catch the audience’s attention. Such act should be controlled to correct the journalists’ attitudes to the news report.
随着大众传媒的发展,我们可以立即获得即时新闻。我们可以通过因特网看新闻,这是最快的获得第一手信息的方式。为了抓住人们的注意力,一些媒体夸大事实,总是带来错误的报告。他们应该受到惩罚。
几天前,据报道，一个中国女子拖着一个外国人的衣服，要求他赔偿她的自行车。新闻上配了图片。人们批评这个女人，因为她在一个外国人面前的行为是如此粗鲁。这个女子受不了压力,她站出去,说出真相，是外国人先打她,并且对她说粗鲁的话。人们错怪了她。
新闻报道没有经过进一步的调查, 给这名女子带来了巨大的麻烦。许多名人都面临着同样的情况, 新闻媒体通过夸大事实来进行报道,只是为了吸引观众的注意力。这样的行为应该控制，以此来端正记者对新闻报道的态度。
Different Opinions on Homework
The conflict over what or how much homework should be comes partly from the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework.
What do teachers think? Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it is the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.
Parent’s opinions? But many parents seem to have different ideas. Elissa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that the third-grade students in elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. "They do the same thing over and over without really getting into altertnate ways of thinking about books and thinking about reading and writing."
Experts’ opinions? Some education reformers, such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track.
But it is often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks.
对作业的不同看法
关于应该留什么样的作业或者留多少作业的争论，部分源自于人们似乎无法就作业的目的达成一致这一事实。
老师们怎么想呢?有些老师认为需要作业来巩固在学校中学到的知识，所以他们让学生通过作业记住课堂讨论。有些老师认为作业的意义在于覆盖那些课堂上无暇涉及的知识，所以他们留的作业是让学生学习额外的知识。 另外有些老师喜欢留作业就是因为他们想让学生形成工作的习惯，还有一些老师相信有必要留作业是因为这是让家长了解孩子在校学习情况的最佳途径。 ：
家长的意见呢?但好多家长似乎对此有着不同看法。依莉萨·科恩有一对双胞胎在雷菲特小学读书，她就不喜欢小学三年级的学生被要求一年完成大约25篇读书总结。“他们重复做着同样的事情，而并没有真正把思考书本与思考阅读和写作的方法结合起来。”
专家的意见呢?有些教育改革家，例如以多重智力理论著称的哈佛大学教授霍华德，加德纳，认为科恩的想法完全正确。
但是通常很难说服那些过度辛劳的老师们去仔细思考家庭作业的问题。
引出不同观点的万能模板：
1、People's views on... vary from person to person. Some hold that... . However, others believe that.... 人们对……的观点因人而异。有些人认为.....然而其他人却认为……
看这个长度就已然鹤立鸡群。其实，也是一个蛮简单也好记的模板。
2、Attitudes towards (drugs) vary from person to person. 人们对待吸毒的态度因人而异。
乍一看，跟上句的开头神似，其实就是省略掉了"people's"，不仅清爽而且好像高端了一些。
3、People may have different opinions on... 人们对……可能会有不同的见解。
又是一个婉转的句子，展示其客观性。
4、There are different opinions among people as to... 关于……人们的观点大不相同。
"different"虽拉低了水准，但"as to"又拯救了回来。
5、Different people hold different attitudes toward (failure). 对(失败)人们的态度各不相同。
这句话貌似亮点不多，顶多一个"hold"，但也是安全牌，容易理解。
作文整体分类，不同作文类型不同对待
英语考试作文看起来每年都会出不同的题型，毫无章法可言，而事实上这其中却是有共性的，通过总结归类，我们发现英语考试的作文大体可以分为问题解决型、 正反论型、图表作文和书信作文这几类。其中所谓的书信作文，无非就是在前三类的基础上，套用信件的格式而已。而其他几类作文也有自己固定的模式和套路，老 师会再针对每种作文类型给出意见。
问题解决型作文三步曲
由字面意思来看，问题解决型顾名思义就是询问考生针对这个问题或现象，你有什么好的方式解决它，这类作文在写作的时候要围绕三个步骤来展开，首先是根据题目提出文章要讨论的问 题;其次，针对这个问题考生要分析它出现的原因以及带来的后果;最后一步就是考生要提出解决问题的措施。这样一篇问题解决型的作文就大功告成了。
正反论型作文由争论得出自己的观点
正反论型的作文在英语考试中是考查可能性最大的一种，这种作文写作起来模式基本固定，通常是考生首先要提出题目给出的争论，然后阐述针对这个争论一方观点是什么;其次是阐述另一方不同的观点;最后是要考生提出自己的观点，然后全文就算完成了。
图表作文提出问题或者预测趋势
图标类的作文一般是要考生看图根据提示写作文，并且要有自己的观点，这类作文要注意不要偏离主题，考生在写作时首先要简单描述一下图表给我们的直观内 容;其次要分析这个问题或现象出现的原因以及存在的后果;最后要提出一些解决措施或预测趋势、影响也或者自己的观点等等。
书信作文要表明目的期待回复
书信类的作文写起来相对容易得多，一般书信作文都是围绕写信人找收信人有什么事或要求、传达什么讯息等内容展开的，所以在书信的开头考生要说清楚写信目 的;其次考生要根据题目给出的内容提示扩充题干或提纲;最后要表明自己很期待期待对方回信等。这样一篇结构完整的书信作文就轻松完成了。
