参考范文
The phenomenon of keeping pets is nothing strange nowadays. 1 When it comes to the topic whether it’s good for people to keep pets or not, people hold different kinds of opinions. 2
Some people maintain that it’s good to keep pets in the house, especially for the elders. 3 The pets can keep them company as well as make them feel safe. As for kids, keeping pets around them makes them more caring and compassionate, which is quite a good way for young parents to educate their children. Moreover, some pets can also look after the house when there’s no one at home.
However, others argue that keeping pets does more harm than good. 3 In their opinion, keeping pets is not healthy since pets may have some viruses with them which you don’t even know. And also, pets’ defecating casually makes cities dirty. What’s more, some large pets especially large dogs may be a danger and even hurt people when they are not tied outside.
As far as I am concerned, whether it’s good to keep a pet or not depends on the situation. Due to people’s different preferences, we should respect people’s right to keep a pet only if one keeps pets well-treated and is sure not to threaten other people’s safety. 4
如今,养宠物已经是一种很常见的现象了。谈到养宠物到底好不好的问题时,人们的观点不尽相同。
有的人认为,在家养宠物是好的,特别是对老人来说。宠物能陪伴他们,也能给他们带来安全感。对于小孩来说,养宠物能使他们更有爱心和同情心,这是年轻父母教育孩子的一种很好的方式。再者,当家里没人时,一些宠物也能看家护院。
但是,另外一些人却觉得养宠物弊大于利。他们认为,养宠物并不健康,因为宠物可能会携带一些你甚至无法察觉的病毒。另外,宠物随处大小便会使我们的城市变脏。更有甚者,有些大型宠物,尤其是大型犬,带出去时如果不拴链子可能会有危险,甚至给人造成伤害。
我认为,养宠物到底好不好应该根据具体情况而定。因为人们的喜好各有不同,我们应尊重人们饲养宠物的权利,只要饲养宠物者善待宠物并确保不威胁他人的安全。

Shopping Online VS Shopping In-Store
With the arrival of digital age, shopping online is becoming more and more popular, especially among young people. 1
As far as I can see, there are some advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. 2 On the one hand 3 , it has some great advantages, of which the most important one is convenience. The goods come in all shapes, sizes, and colors on the Internet, and all people need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouse. Besides, online goods are really cheap and help save much money sometimes, especially during holidays. On the other hand 3 , the disadvantages of shopping online cannot be ignored. The real goods may not be the same as what they look like online. To make matters worse, we are likely to buy some fake goods since some shops on the Internet are not formally registered.
Personally, I prefer shopping in-store to shopping online. 4 The most important reason is that I can have a leisure time and enjoy myself most when I go shopping with the company of my friends. In the meanwhile, I can feel and try on anything I want to buy and see the effect of clothing worn on my body in physical clothes stores.
网上购物VS实体店购物
随着数字化时代的到来,网上购物越来越受欢迎,尤其是受到年轻人的青睐。
据我了解,网购既有利也有弊。一方面,网购有一些巨大优势,其中最大的好处在于方便。人们只需要坐在电脑前,点一下鼠标,就能从网上买到各种形状、不同尺寸和颜色的商品。其次,网上商品有时候确实很便宜,能省很多钱,尤其是在节假日期间。而另一方面,网上购物的弊端也不容忽视。实际商品有可能与网上展示的商品不符。更糟糕的是,由于有些网上商店可能不是正规注册的,这就使得我们有可能买到一些假货。
就我而言,比起网上购物,我更喜欢到实体店购物。最重要的原因是我可以和朋友们一起购物、休闲,这种时候是最让人心情放松的。还有,当我到实体服装店购物时,我可以触摸并试穿,还能看到效果。

句法点评
1. To make matters worse, we are likely to buy some fake goods since some shops on the Internet are not formally registered.
这句话中使用了to make matters worse这个不定式短语,表示“更糟糕的是”,同时还使用了be likely to这个短语,意为“有可能……”。
2. The most important reason is that I can have a leisure time and enjoy myself most when I go shopping with the company of my friends.
本句是表达“最重要的原因是……”的常用句式;with the company of意为“在……的陪伴下”。
Publications Should Be Censored .What's Your Opinion?
你对出版物应该审查持什么态度?
Supposeyou are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children toread any book orsee any film they wanted to without first checking itscontent or finding out whether it issuitable for them? If your answer tothe question is "yes," then you are either extremely permissive or justplain irresponsible. If your answer is "no ," then you are exercisingyour rightas a parent to protect your children from what you consider tobe undesirable influences. Inother words, by acting as a censoryourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case forcensorship.
Perhapsyou will say that children need protection and it is theparents'responsibility toprovide it. But with adults, it is anotherthing. Of course many adults can decide what is goodand what is bad, butnot all of them can do so. Censorship is for the good of society as awhole. Just imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a societywithout laws! Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.
Moreover,when discussing censorship, we should not confine our attention togreatmasterpieces of genuine art, but should consider the vast numbersof publications and filmswhich make up the bulk of the entertainmentindustry. When censorship laws are relaxed, unscrupulous people aregiven a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art", butactually are very far from being work s of art. There is a tendency toequate "artistic" with "pornographic". The vast market for pornographywould rapidly be exploited. One of thegreat things that censorship doesis to prevent certain people from making fat profits bycorrupting theminds of others.

Protecting the Intangible Cultural Heritages
1.保护非物质文化遗产很重要
2.非物质文化遗产指的是……
3.为保护非物质文化遗产我们应该……
参考范文:
Like tangible cultural heritages such as theGreat Wall and the ForbiddenCity, intangiblecultural heritages like Peking Opera and Confucius-commemoratingrituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost efforts to preserveintangible heritages because, without their physical form of existence, they arein greater risk ofextinction.
According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of IntangibleCultural Heritage(2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts andvarious knowledge and practices about nature and universecan be classified asintangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversityofethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds inintangiblecultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with thehistorical past, allowingthem to acquire a cultural and historical identity.Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and wewould find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.
However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangibleheritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. Itis also pathetic to see elderlypeople in possession of such legacies pass awaywithout transmitting them to the youngergeneration. Faced with those challenges,we should both preserve and renovate our ancestralheritages so that we can helpcontribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return toour spiritualhomeland in this age of impersonal science and tech

Keeping Pets
There is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a hotly debated topic today. Some peopleclaim that keeping pets is a good thing to do. They believe that pets, like cats and dogs, canhelp relieve the loneliness suffered by senior citizens and other social members who areconfined to their homes for this reason or that. They also argue that keeping pets helpsmankind understand animals' world and develop positive feelings toward them.
Others, however, hold the opposite view. They regard keeping pets as a useless butharmful thing to do. First, pets can transmit diseases. Secondly, the noises and dung of petsare sources of pollution. Last but not least, as many rare birds and animals are kept as pets,they will surely be hunted on a large scale, which means a threat to the balance of theecosystem.
Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, wecan lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my beliefthat only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a livelyand colorful world.

Media and Shopping
With numerous technological advances, various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result, an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media, such as newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and the Internet.
As we know, there are always two sides to everything and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand, it saves much time, money and effort to purchase goods through media since you don’t have to go to the shops in person. Besides, you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand, you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss.
As far as I am concerned, shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time, we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way, we can gain more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.
Reading Selectively Or Extensively?
1.有人认为读书要有选择
2.有人认为应当博览群书
3.我的看法
Reading Selectively Or Extensively?
How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Everyone has his own view.
Some people think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern science and technology, more and more books are being published every day. It is impossible for us to read all the books. What's more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and we shouldn't read them. Since we can't read all the books, and we shouldn't read bad books, we must read selectively.
But others may not agree. They emphasize that today's society is not what is used to be. If you want to be successful, you must read widely and acquire knowledge in both natural sciences and humanities, if a man knows much in one field but little in others, he may not be of great use to the society. Since we must have a wide range of knowledge, we must read extensively.
Who's right? There is a lot to be said for both sides of the argument. However, I think we should read extensively first and then dig into the subject we are interested in.
