Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media. The problem of food security has become a hot button across society. The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health, which the government could not afford to ignore, according to the online edition of the People Daily.
There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this undesirable tide. First, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we ignore moral education, giving rise to the rising rate of the problem. More importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend.
As Confucius instructed, it is better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.

Living alone or Living with Roommates
Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussionamong the college students as to
whetherthey should live alone outside the campus orlive together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.(提出觀點段)
Those who are in favor ofliving alone maintain thatit is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet. (反面論述段)
But others argue thatliving with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.(正面論述段)
As far as I’m concerned, I prefer tolive with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent an apartment outside the campus. (總結觀點段)

College Students’ Job Hunting
In recent years, college studentsfind it increasingly difficult toget a job. It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play. Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? (提出問題段)
There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high. All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others. Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant
jobs they consider not“good” enough. Another reason is thatthere is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs. So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.(說明原因段)
Solution to the problem requiresefforts on both the society and the students. The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains. They should be down-to–earth in building up their career. Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent. (解決問題段)

Credit Cards
Personal credit cards are becoming more common in China. Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things. Credit cards, otherwise known as “plastic money”, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the
change. Consumers will be able to “buy now, pay later”, and many see this as an advantage.(描述現象段)
But people need to be careful. There are dangers associated with credit cards. Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget. They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt. The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.(說明問題段)
However, wisely used credit cards can improve the quality of people’s lives. They can give people access to money to meet sudden unplanned expenses. Properly handled, they can let people control their expenditure and the monthly statements provide a record of where their money has gone.(總結觀點段)
6級英語作文范文第3篇
在大一一年里，我班同學的整體成績與其他班級同學的成績存在著不同程度的差距。行規方面、紀律方面存在很大問題，很多同學存在自由、散漫的現象。以下是針對上學期存在的不足之處，結合本學期的新構思而定的計劃書：

第二、積極開展問題活動：在本學期開展一至兩次問題活動，我們班的同學有很多愛好籃球，女生愛好排球。通過問題活動，可以豐富我們班同學的課余生活，增強身體素質。在條件允許的情況下，我們班組織一次集體出游，以此來增加同學們之間的交流。
第三、在課堂紀律方面：班委會成員應輪流值日，我們班共有8個班委，每人輪流值日一周，把當天早退、遲到、曠課的同學姓名記錄在班級日志上，并且詢問這些同學早退、遲到、曠課的原因。在每周五的下午把班級日志交給輔導員老師審批，星期一去輔導員辦公室區拿，以便對違紀的同學作出相應的解措施。
第四、在班費的使用方面，應盡量做到節省開支，多用于同學們的學習上來，絕不浪費。并請我班同學做好監督工作，并且讓生活委員每個月報一次班費開支情況。
第五、在建立的班級群上，展現班級的風采(比如說即將開展的團日活動)，讓同學們更好地融入到班級這個集體中來。
6級英語作文范文第4篇
Waste Sorting Most people haven’t formed the habit and committed themselves to waste sorting now in China. They would throw their domestic garbage — kitchen refuse, abandoned plastics and papers, broken china and glass, etc. — all into the same public containers, without thinking whether they are recyclable or not. This, obviously, will reduce the value of stuff that can be recycled or reused, such as plastics and papers. Besides, the growing amount of garbage makes the building of more landfills necessary, which will worsen the shortage of land. Worse still, disposing of the recyclable waste like plastics by burning will give off toxic smoke and pollute the air. In this sense, throwing the trash unsorted should not be advocated, no matter from the perspective of economy or protecting environment.
On the contrary, if we sort out recyclable waste before throwing them away, the amount of trash will be reduced sharply. Accordingly, the cost of running landfills and treating waste will be brought down greatly. What’s more important, less waste will have to be burned or buried, meaning resources waste and pollution will be reduced. Therefore, economically and environmentally, it is of great significance to call for waste-sorting.
預測作文2. On Volunteer 1. 現在越來越多的人加入志愿者的隊伍 2. 志愿者的意義 3. 我的看法
On Volunteer In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread widely among the public, especially among youngsters. From Olympic Games to urban communities, many people are seen to offer their help for free. Volunteering is of tremendous benefit to those in need. For example, hundreds of thousands of volunteers played an active role in the recent quake-hit Yushu area: they offered medical and psychological aid to the victims in the relief work. On the other hand, volunteering is beneficial to the volunteers themselves too. Involved in volunteering activities, people are exposed to new circumstances, and they can learn how to work well in a team and how to improve their interpersonal skills, all of which are critical for their career development.
1 In my view, we should all join in volunteering work as long as we have spare time. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we all volunteer in regions struck by natural disasters. There are many people else who need our help, i.e. the old or the sick in the near nursing home. Little by little, we are sure to help make the world better.
預測作文3. Self-help Traveling
1. 越來越多大學生選擇“自助游”，原因是…… 2. 也會帶來一些問題 3. 你的看法
Self-help Traveling More and more college students choose self-help traveling rather than arranged tours when they plan to travel. The reason may be that by arranging the route, booking cheaper hotels and taking cheaper transportation means all by themselves, they can save a lot of money.
Convenient and economical as self-help traveling sounds, it still has some potential problems. Perhaps the most important one is the safety hazard. Being alone without a group or a tour guide, a traveler may be helpless in face of danger, i.e. robbery, wild animal attacks, etc. In addition, they are more likely to be at risk of getting lost when traveling alone in a city strange to them or in the remote countryside. In my view, self-help traveling can be exciting and challenging which is worth trying. However, before setting out alone on a tour, travelers should make good preparations. Besides, they should bear security in mind all the time and keep in touch with their friends or relatives. By doing so, they can enjoy the pleasure of exploring a strange city safe and sound.
預測作文4. The Importance of Goal 1. 樹立目標很重要 2. 原因是……
3. 如何設立和達到目標
The Importance of Goal There is no denying that setting a goal is very important. We find that successful people are always those having and achieving their goals. They set goals, short-term or long-run, to help realize their visions. Why is goal-setting important? By setting goals you are taking control of the tempo of your life. It is like having a map to guide you to where you want to head for. With a clear direction, and with certain plans, you will straightly get what you want. On the contrary, without a goal, you will live a
2 passive life. You do not know where to go, what you want and why you are listless. Then your life becomes dull and meaningless just like the dead water in a muddy lake. Goals are not difficult to set and realise. First, you should make clear what you really want which constitutes your goals. Then you make detailed plans and follow through on them, as many winners do. If you follow their suit, you’ll achieve your goals and be a winner.
預測作文5. On Adversity 1. 每個人都會碰到逆境 2. 人們對逆境的看法不同 3. 我的看法
On Adversity Everyone meets setbacks and frustrations in life, and each tries hard to avoid them, only to find that they’re just like your own shadow accompanying you all your lives. The truth is, adversity can exert great influence on you, depending on how you deal with it.
When confronted by adversity, different people make different response. Some people consider it a stumbling block on the road to success, and get depressed and even sink into despair; others consider it the stairway to great accomplishments and try to overcome it with constant struggle. The latter, therefore, will recognize their disadvantages from their temporary defeat, draw lessons from it, and grow stronger each time they have coped with a difficulty. In my opinion, adversity often leads to prosperity. Painful and depressing as it is, overcoming adversity endows us with great confidence that is crucial to achieve success. Great people are not born successful, they are great only because they have tempered their personality and remedied their deficiencies through experiencing countless adversity and defeat, which is actually a goddess of blessings in disguise.
預測作文6. On the Lost Traditional Culture 1. 現在許多傳統文化正慢慢消失 2. 傳統文化消失的原因 3. 我的看法
On the Lost Traditional Culture It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture are disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and craftmanship will be replaced in this modern era.
The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies
3 are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture. If the fund used to protect the ancient culture was instead delivered to the poor, it will be helpful to the improvement of their living standard. Thirdly, modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot. For instance, college students always collect their thesis materials by surfing the Internet instead of borrowing books from the libraries.
In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn’t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.
預測作文7. On Students’ Interpersonal Relationship 1. 目前許多大學生處理不好人際關系 2. 出現這種現象的原因 3. 我的看法
On Students’ Interpersonal Relationship
Positive interpersonal relationships are vital for optimal human growth and development. However, in recent years, educators have expressed their concern about the quality of interpersonal relationship among students in institutions of higher education. According to a survey conducted by Hebei University, many college-age students regard interpersonal relationship as the biggest headache. Increasing diversity and rapid changes in our society make interacting with others continually more complex and difficult. With limited life experiences and social skills, college students face more challenges in dealing with interpersonal relationship. This is especially true for students coming from rural areas. Because of lack of social skills, they are often rejected by others — and rejection gives them even fewer chances to learn how to behave with others.
In my opinion, now that interpersonal relationship is important to students’ development, colleges should offer comprehensive interpersonal relationships course. The course should address the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors involved in participating in positive relationships in the family and with individuals at school, in the community and in the workplace.
預測作文8. Student Investors in the Stock Market 1. 目前越來越多的大學生炒股 2. 人們對大學生炒股看法不一 3. 我的看法
Student Investors in the Stock Market China’s stock market is luring students looking to see how their textbook teachings fare in real life. While there are no concrete data on the student-investor, business professors say the market boom has boosted the number of students looking to play around with stocks. They invest in the stock market with money from parents and sometimes with amounts equal to several times their annual tuition. Some people are alarmed at the trend. As investing in the stock market involves many risks, they say, college students are very likely to lose, which may put students’ family assets at risk. However, some are supportive. As more and more students become shareholders, they will help raise the general quality of shareholders and there will be more rational stock buyers in securities market, which is actually a good thing. In my view, college students may give stock investment a try if possible. Stock investment may be a way to make fast money and help finance students’ schooling. Even if the students are likely to lose in the stock market, it may still lead to valuable investment experience — they can’t learn if they don’t try.
預測作文9. Reform of English Education 1. 目前要求改革大學英語教育的呼聲很高 2. 產生這一現象的原因 3. 你認為應如何改革英語教育
Reform of English Education As college English education is greatly emphasized with the rapid development of global communication, the defects that exist in the current educational system are open to more criticism. It is widely acknowledged that a thorough reform of college English education should be under way. People ask for English education reform mainly because of the inadequacy of college English education under the current system. On one hand, many college English teachers underestimate the role interest plays in English learning and keep preaching in class. On the other hand, under the current system, most Chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing from each other and therefore their English is also “broken” in this way. This has also greatly contributed to the “dumb English” of Chinese students. In my view, to reform English education, colleges and universities should encourage students to speak English in class and hold more activities to promote students’ oral English. Teachers should focus on attracting students with vivid teaching and arouse students’ enthusiasm in learning English. With the collaboration, the reform of college English education will surely yield plentiful fruits.

預測作文10. Save Money or Borrow Money? 1. 有人喜歡存錢 2. 有人卻喜歡提前消費 3. 我喜歡¡
Save Money or Borrow Money? Mentioning money, some people like to deposit it in the bank, while others like to consume it in advance. Money saved by people is mainly for: buying a house; in case of emergencies or diseases, car accidents, unemployment, earthquakes, and things like that; in case of college expenses of their children; for retirement, and so on. People believe that saving money is essential to lead a comfortable life. Having money in the bank allows people to pay for vacations or expensive purchases like furniture or doctor bills in cash. With the world entering a consuming era, many people, especially young white-collars and college students, choose to borrow money. In other words, they spend money in advance — use credit cards and pay back the loan and interest on the next payday. They argue that: first, they could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments. Second, many banks make some preferential policies on credit cards, like sending a gift or lowering year cost, which is a big attraction.
On my personal level, I approve of saving money — in case of emergency, you do not need to turn to others for help, at least. And I’m opposed to the abuse of credit cards among college students. Since in most cases, parents are their sole financial sources.
預測作文11. Should People Play Games While on Duty? 有些人上班時玩游戲 1. 有人認為這很正常 2. 也有人反對這種做法 3. 我的看法
Should People Play Games While on Duty? Should people play games while they are working? People’s attitudes toward it vary greatly. Some people regard it as a common phenomenon in office nowadays. They think playing games is a good way to kill the boring time. At the same time, it can make them relaxed, which, in turn, can help them do their job efficiently. However, some people have the opposite opinion. They think companies should prohibit their employees from playing games. They maintain that playing games at work is an irresponsible
6 behavior and a wrong working attitude which can exert a bad influence on their colleagues. Moreover, many serious mistakes are often made when people play games during their working time, because playing games distracts people’s attention.
In my view, people shouldn’t play games while on duty. On the one hand, playing games can occupy some of their time which can be used to do something more important and meaningful, such as the further study of their working field and the improving of their working skills. On the other hand, playing online games takes up a lot of corporate network resources which may interfere with other colleagues’ work.
預測作文12. Working from Home 1. 現在有些單位開始允許員工在家辦公 2. 在家辦公的好處
3. 這種現象可能產生的影響
Working from Home
Certain companies, especially some small-scale businesses, start to encourage their staff to work from home or use home as a working base for at least part of the week nowadays. Some offer some form of remote working support to their workforces, such as equipping them with laptops and installing broadband, and others pay for the telephone bills for these workers.
This work pattern is popular because it’s clear that there are a number of benefits for business. First, it helps retain employees, especially highly-qualified working parents with childcare responsibilities. Second, it gains more productivity because the employees have fewer interruptions and less commuting time. Last but not least, it offers savings on premises and other facilities.
However, there are some potential drawbacks. For one thing, there is difficulty of managing home workers and monitoring their performance, and difficulty of maintaining staff development and upgrading skills. For another, it may create a sense of isolation among home workers and it can be harder to maintain team spirit. Therefore, business should weigh the pros and cons before permitting their employees work at home.
預測作文13. On Taking CET Repeatedly 1. 現在許多考生為了得高分，多次參加四級或六級考試 2. 有人對這種做法不贊成 3. 我的看法
On Taking CET Repeatedly In recent years, many college students are laying great stress on CET exams. In order to get
7 high marks in the exam, many students are taking CET time and time again although they have passed it. When “CET season” approaches, campuses are filled with students occupied with CET preparations. However, some people disapprove the idea of taking CET repeatedly for high scores. Although CET application fee is not high, taking the exams constantly can be a considerable financial burden. Moreover, it’s a waste of time to prepare for it every year, when you can do something more meaningful during the golden time in college. In addition, rather than focusing on CET, students should strive to develop all kinds of abilities. As far as I’m concerned, it’s understandable to taking CET repeatedly for higher marks to be more competitive in the job market. If our future job requires a good master of English, we can step further to take high-level exams such as TOEFL or IELTS. But if it doesn’t, we should not waste our time and energy to take CET repeatedly.
預測作文14. Parents Being Slaves to the Children 1. 現在有些父母成為“孩奴” 2. 出現這種現象的原因 3. 這種現象可能產生的影響
Parents Being Slaves to the Children Parents’ being slaves to their children or “child’s salve” is nowadays a hot topic in China. It refers to young parents who have to spend a large part of their income on children. These parents feel great strain under the burden of raising a child and struggle hard to make as much money as possible. The cost of raising a child in China is becoming greater and greater. But economic pressure is not the only reason that makes young parents “child’s slave.” Parents’ comparison with each other in trying to provide the best possible living conditions for their children should also be blamed. Retailers know well that young couples only buy the most expensive things for their children, so infant and child commodities become increasingly expensive. If continues, this problem would affect the parents and the development of our country. With other issues such as housing mortgages to pay off and old parents to support, these parents would suffer from huge economic pressure, which may pose a threat to their marriages or physical and mental health. On the other hand, to avoid being slaves, some young couples’ willingness to expect children is falling. If the birth rate decreases to a dangerous level, there would be insufficient workforce in the future.
8 預測作文15. Importance of Buying a House 1. 有人認為買房很重要
2. 也有人認為買不買房無關緊要 3. 我認為……
Importance of Buying a House There is a heated debate on the importance of buying a house with the soaring house prices. Those emphasizing the importance of buying a house maintain that living in your own house makes you feel better and more comfortable compared to that in a rented one. Besides, no investment is more rewarding than buying a house nowadays. Statistics from both home and abroad shows that owning a house guarantees an increase in assets. Quite the contrary, many people say, buying a house is not that important. On one hand, a rented apartment can provide the same comfortable or even better life for people. This is especially true when many people have no money to decorate their houses after the big purchase. On the other hand, people can spend more money on other more profitable investment than involving in real estate, such as buying stocks or other art collections.
Personally, I think possessing a house is extremely important. At its core, a house is a shelter. After buying a house, people will become stable. What’s more important is that their children will also settle and can concentrate on study — children could get affected as they adapt themselves with the new places, teachers and creating new friends making them lag behind academically.
預測作文16. Sinology 1. 近年來國學變得越來越流行 2. 出現這種現象的原因 3. 我對這種現象的看法
Sinology In recent years, Sinology, the study of Chinese traditional culture, literature, history, society, etc., has become increasingly popular. For instance, it is reported that many primary and secondary schools have set up courses of sinology, in which students are taught classical works by Chinese ancient educators and philosophers, like Confucius. Another good illustration is in the program CCTV Lecture Room famous scholars, e.g. Yu Dan, give lectures on Chinese ancient philosophies and literatures. Sinology becomes prevalent due to the fact that it is of vital significance for both the individuals and the society. For one thing, Sinology is the essence of Chinese civilization with more than 5,000 years. Thus, for individuals, they can enlarge their scope of knowledge, enrich their
9 experience and adapt themselves to the complicated society. For another, it is acknowledged that the rehabilitation of Sinology can contribute to a harmonious society.
In my opinion, all Chinese people should inherit the merits of Sinology. To do so, we can read books by ourselves or to attend lectures on this issue. Besides, we have the obligation to popularize it, introducing it to the world. By doing so, we can not only inherit it but also make it glorious and prosperous.
預測作文17. Online Learning 1. 網上學習比較普遍 2. 產生這種現象的原因 3. 這種現象可能帶來的影響
Online Learning Perhaps there is something you don’t know how to do. In the past, you might turn to a friend or a relative, attend a night class or go to the local library to find the answer. But at present a lot of websites are springing up to offer free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can imagine. Why is online learning so popular among people? The answer is obvious: online learning is much more convenient. In the past, you perhaps had to spend plenty of time learning in a night class or going to the library to look for relevant materials. However, now when you run into a problem, you just need to click the mouse, then a lot of related websites will appear in front of you.
However, not all the materials on the Internet are correct; sometimes they are false. Thus, if you want to learn something from the Internet, you should make sure what you will learn is completely correct.
預測作文18. On Campus Politics 1. 現在許多大學生都熱衷于“校園政治”，如競選學生會干部等 2. 產生這種現象的原因 3. 這種現象可能帶來的問題
On Campus Politics Many college students show great enthusiasm in participating into campus political activities nowadays. For example, it’s not rare to see that many students run for heads of the Students’ Union or some student societies on campus. There is no doubt that campus politics has become an important part of college life. The fact that college students can benefit a lot from participation in campus politics contributes
10 to this phenomenon. First of all, by attending campus political activities, students can develop practical capabilities, especially management and coordination capacity. Moreover, these activities provide students a stage to show themselves and bring their abilities into full play. Besides, campus political activities help strengthen students’ sense of responsibility.
However, campus politics might bring some problems. For one thing, too much participation in campus politics might influence the study. For another, some students’ being keen on campus politics is only for fame and gain, which will do harm to their mental health. Therefore, schools and teachers should give necessary instruction to students on their participation into campus politics.
預測作文19. Should College Students Hire Cleaners? 近年來有些大學生聘請清潔工做打掃宿舍等事情 1. 有人對這一做法表示贊成 2. 有人則表示反對 3. 我認為……
Should College Students Hire Cleaners? That some college students at a local university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week has led to a heated debate. Some people advocate and support the idea and the practice. They maintain that hiring cleaners to keep the dorms clean can help students save time, which they can spend on their studies.
Others, however, argue that hiring cleaners could help students save time and devote to their studies is merely a pretext. Typically, college education is not dominated by heavy loads of coursework and college students have ample time to manage their own affairs apart from studies. Usually, those students who claim they are too busy to clean their own dorms are most often found otherwise preoccupied with playing computer games or shopping. They refuse to do manual labor because they tend to regard themselves as elites once they succeed in entering a college.
Personally, I think college students shouldn’t hire cleaners. In performing the cleaning himself/herself, a college student learns to share the responsibility for managing a public space of which one is a part. And by doing so, the student also shows respect for the common welfare of the entire dorm. Cleaning one’s own dorm is a necessary process whereby one becomes a responsible person.
預測作文20. People Migrating to Another Country 1. 近年來越來越多的人移居到國外 2. 產生這種現象的原因
11 3. 我的看法
People Migrating to Another Country Nowadays, many people choose to live in a foreign country, which has aroused great concern. Many people, especially some intellectuals and celebrities, migrate to some developed countries, such as the America, Britain and Canada. In addition, there are also many people studying and working in foreign countries struggling for “green cards”.
There are many reasons accounting for this phenomenon. Among all these factors, pursuing high-quality life, which is guaranteed in wealthy countries, plays a critical role. Besides, most people migrate to some foreign countries in the hope that their children can receive better education and have a more promising future there. Moreover, some people move abroad just expecting to experience a different culture.
As far as I am concerned, though I would like to experience various cultures all over the world, I won’t migrate to another country. For one thing, I hate to live far from my friends and relatives who have been with me for more than twenty years. And I firmly believe in the saying that “East or west, home is best.” For another, the preparation before moving to another country would be a tough task. Especially, learning a foreign language is really a torture to me.
預測作文21. Protect Children from Porn Online 1. 目前網絡黃色信息泛濫 2. 對青少年的危害 3. 應如何解決這一問題
Protect Children from Porn Online More and more people, especially children, are now subjected to the waves of porn on their Internet screens. Porn spam, web pages with obscene content, pop-up ads laced with graphic sexual photographs, it’s just too easy to run into these stuff online.
An unwanted exposure to sexual material online of children in their early teens may have really disastrous consequences — they may be induced to pornography on the Internet again and again — just like drug addicts. If children’s porn addiction follows them into adulthood, they lead or contribute to various harmful results, including ruined marriages, lost jobs and imprisonment. A growing number of children are also acting out with others what they view in “adult” pornography, which threats their healthy development. To protect children from “adult” porn online, joint efforts should be made. Parents should talk to the children about how pornography harms people of all ages. If possible, they may use Internet filters to try preventing access to porn sites. Schools should teach the students to think critically
12 about porn they encounter online. The government should take initiative to purify the Internet, shutting down porn websites and severely punishing the law-breakers.
預測作文22. How to Be Positive 1. 積極的重要性
2. 因此，學校、家庭、社會可以¡ 3. 我們自己應當……
How to Be Positive Being positive is very important. When you are positive in your mission inside, that positive rays will reflect not only on your face but also in what you do and you are going to tackle whatever difficult situations, however tough it may be. That’s the power of positive thinking.
Family, school and society are very powerful in shaping students’ beliefs. Parents should be a good role model and share positive thoughts with their children. Schools should teach the students to make realistic appraisals. The whole society should create a positive environment and highlight public figures who have overcome hardship, e.g. sporting celebrities who have a disability, to inspire the students. As college students, we should get to know some tips to be positive. For example, focus our mind on the beauties we already have in our life. Learn to feel, think and even act, as if we are already living the life we visualize. In this way, we’ll become happier, and will attract new opportunities into our life.
預測作文23. Campus Safety 1. 校園安全十分重要 2. 因此，學校應當…… 3. 我們自己應當……
Campus Safety Campus security and safety is a big issue and has become a focus in education, especially when tragic events happened time and time again on campus. The recent stampede at a middle school in Hunan Province is still fresh in our memory. It took the lives of eight teenagers and injured 26 others. The tragic events served as a wake-up call. It warns that, to safeguard the students, there is still much to be done. Schools across the country should take safety education seriously and conduct it compulsorily. Besides, they should revise their emergency preparedness plans and tighten security. For example, security guards should patrol on campus around teaching buildings and student dorms,
13 and enforce strict entrance checks, barring entry to anyone carrying a gun or a knife.
As students, we should enhance our awareness of safety — that is, being aware of safety issues and of potential hazards in our daily life. For example, foresee the possible incidents and keep away from crowded places. Lock the dorm at night or whenever we are alone in the dorm. If possible, we should also have some first-aid trainings in order to help us survive emergency situations.
預測作文24. Commercialization of Campus Music 1. 近年來校園音樂逐漸走向商業化 2. 這一現象產生的原因 3. 這一現象可能帶來的影響
Commercialization of Campus Music Campus music has been commercialized in recent years. More and more enterprises are interested in being the sponsors of college music festivals. Campus singers and songs are not confined to college campus any more but are pushed to the market gradually.
The following two factors account for this phenomenon. On one hand, some enterprises’ paying more attention to campus music is out of their commitment to the society. They want to present healthy enterprise images to the public. On the other hand, enterprises want to take advantage of entertainment activities to promote their products or services. College students, as the focus of the whole society, are ideal targets for these enterprises. Of course, we can’t deny that these activities serve as good chances for campus singers to show their talents and campus songs have hence spread more widely. However, commercialization of campus music to some extent reduces its uniqueness. Induced by fame and wealth, some campus singers cater to the tastes of the public and lost their own styles gradually. Here, for the sake of campus music, I appeal to both sponsors of music activities and campus singers to take campus music as it is, not sacrificing it for profits.
預測作文25. Gap between the Rich and the Poor on Campus 1. 大學生的貧富差距日益顯現 2. 由此可能帶來的影響 3. 我的看法
Gap between the Rich and the Poor on Campus It is obvious that the gap between student haves and have-nots on campus is widening and has become a hot issue nowadays. While some students are reliant on government financial aid to fulfill their college studies, others have extra money from their parents to spend on rents and cars, luxury
14 cosmetics and fashion. The widening gap between the rich and the poor on campus has some negative impacts. On one hand, sensing the sharp contrast, some poor students may feel inferior to others, which may hinder them from progressing. Worse still, some may develop negative values, attitudes and beliefs. On the other hand, some rich students may pay more attention to material life and neglect spiritual pursuit. Their conscious and unconscious show-off of wealth may also bring them unexpected conflicts or trouble.
Personally speaking, I think poverty is not a vice, just as wealth is not an evil. So it’s nonsense to make much fuss about wealth disparity on campus. However, we do need to cultivate sound personality in students, a major challenge to colleges and universities today. With a sound personality, students are able to see everything with a normal attitude, which is helpful for their development.
預測作文26. Living with Parents after Graduation 1. 目前許多大學生畢業后回家跟父母一起居住 2. 產生這種現象的原因 3. 我的看法
Living with Parents after Graduation According to a survey, many college students are thinking about moving back home with their parents after graduation. Some have already done so. Going back home and living with parents, once considered as out-of-date, returns to young adults’ life nowadays.
More often than not, the reason why many new grads are picking their parents as roommates is all about money. Most new grads have important life plans that cost more money than the typical entry-level salary can cover. For them, it makes smart economic sense to move back home with their parents, where life is comfortable and rent is saved, while they get their finances in order.
In my opinion, it’s not all advantages when it comes to living with parents. First, the graduate lives at an unrealistic level of comfort, making a break for independence difficult. Second, the financial pressure to stick with a job and work hard is not there if he can quit and not become homeless. Third, people might think “you still haven’t grown up or aren’t mature yet” if you still live at home.
預測作文27. Fortunetelling on Campus 1. 大學校園盛行“算命風” 2. 產生這種現象的原因
15 3. 我的看法
Fortunetelling on Campus
Fortunetelling becomes popular among college students, especially senior students in China. Many of them require fortunetellers near campus to practice divination forecasting good or ill luck, mainly for their jobs. Apart from fortunetelling, other superstitions like astrology and tarot cards reading also fascinate those students. A main reason of this phenomenon is that the graduates-to-be are under huge pressures of finding jobs after graduation. Some may have advantages in the job-seeking but may have low self-confidence and hence feel uncertain about their future. Under such circumstances, heading to a fortuneteller for the purpose of making decisions would be some students’ option. This is especially true when there is no professional counseling service provided by their universities.
In my view, fortunetelling could do considerable harm. Believing in fortunetelling may rob a person of trust in himself and his own ability. He may begin to look on himself as a pawn of fortune that cannot change his fate and then may lose ambition.
預測作文28. Information Security 1. 信息安全問題日益受到重視 2. 信息安全事故可能導致的危害 3. 如何做到信息安全
Information Security With a variety of problems plaguing the information systems, the importance of information security becomes the focus of people’s concern. We heard time and time again that unauthorized persons seized people’s confidential information in an immoral way and took funds out of their bank accounts. Or, in the worst cases, they took over people’s identities altogether, running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victims’ names.
Information security concerns a range of problems — information interception, loss, damage, etc. It will bring victims financial loss or put them into trouble. Take identity theft for example. In many cases, a victim’s losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses but substantial additional financial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible. We should place high priority on information security. We should safeguard our identity under any circumstances. For example, do not share our confidential information such as our ID card numbers, bank accounts and other personal information with strangers, especially on the Internet. In this way, we can expect information security.

預測作文29. How to Communicate Efficiently 1. 現代人越來越注重溝通 2. 原因是…… 3. 如何進行有效溝通
How to Communicate Efficiently People attach more importance to efficient communication nowadays. Communication is definitely important — no matter what your career is. Each individual in this world needs to communicate with others. Parents need to communicate with their children to show their love; a teacher needs to communicate with students to convey knowledge; a student needs to communicate with the teacher to ask questions or prove they have understood what he/she said; a businessman needs to communicate with his partners to make fortune; a diplomat needs to communicate with his foreign counterparts to claim his own country’s standpoint; a political leader needs to communicate with his people to lead their way to a better life. Communication is a very important aspect of the human life, since it is the communication that helps human beings to connect with each other as individuals and as independent groups. Only by efficient communications can we express ourselves and understand others. So, how to communicate efficiently? It requires self-confidence, good articulation and knowledge of how communication can be made more effective. First, organize and clarify ideas in your mind before communication. Second, use appropriate body languages and make eye contacts when necessary. Third, try to be good listeners. And finally, pay special attention to feedbacks. A win-win communication needs your efforts.
預測作文30. Private Cars or Public Transportation? 1. 有人喜歡開私家車出行
2. 有人喜歡乘坐公交車、地鐵等出行 3. 我的看法
Private Cars or Public Transportation? Many people appreciate the convenience of private cars. A private car gives more comfort and mobility and enables people to go whenever and wherever he likes, so he can enjoy his leisure to the full by making trips to the country or seaside at weekends, without the annoyance caused by waiting for buses or trains. But public transportation is also attractive. With someone else driving for us, we can feel
17 relaxed on a bus or subway. And public transportation helps to lessen air pollution and traffic jams. It costs us less money and brings more jobs for others. As far as I’m concerned, both public transportation and private cars, however, have their own disadvantages. In fact the bus system does not provide frequent stops and the location of the bus stops is sometimes not so convenient. And a private car also has many problems, such as too much harmful carbon monoxide emitted. It often puts the traffic in and around the city to much trouble. However, I hate the air pollution and traffic jams caused by private cars. So, given the chance, I would prefer public transportation.
Salary or Interest
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of choosing their careers. It is truly a tough choice. Students’ opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to their interest in the job, but others take the attitude that salary is the most critical factor influencing their career choices.
As for myself, I prefer the latter view. A well-paid job exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. Although it might be impossible to measure the value of one’s job in terms of money, salary counts most when I choose my future career. In my view, our career choices largely depend on how and where we have been brought up. I come from a poor urban family and my parents are both laid-off workers. In order to finance my tuition, they have been working hard over the past four years. As the only son in my family, I have to shoulder the burden of supporting my family.
In short, salary is the first consideration in my choice of career. Should Foreign Abbreviations Be Banned on TV?
Recently, CCTV banned the use of borrowed English abbreviations such as NBA, WTO and CPI in all its programs. Some people applaud the move, maintaining that it helps preserve the purity of the Chinese language. The media is deeply engaged in the ongoing Westernization of Chinese language. If the phenomenon is not stopped, Chinese will be gradually reduced from an independent expression system to a mixture of languages. Others, however, shake their heads. It is not persuasive, they say, that the media shy away from foreign abbreviations to preserve the purity of the Chinese language and culture. After all, languages’ integration is a very complicated process and it’s irrational to impose a simple ban on certain words. Besides, the use of foreign abbreviations won’t shake the status of Chinese as an embodiment of and the basis of the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture. As far as I am concerned, there is no need to ban the use of foreign abbreviations on TV. A language is great, not because of its purity, but because of its tolerance to other languages. Chinese is so rich and beautiful because it constantly absorbs words, abbreviations and phrases from other languages. It’s totally unnecessary to fear about the disappearance of Chinese if we allow English to mix with Chinese.

6級英語作文范文第5篇
Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.
1、 有人做好事期望得到回報;
2、 有人認為應該像雷鋒那樣做好事不圖回報;
3、 我的觀點。
Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed?
A great many people presume upon a reward when doing a good deed. First and foremost, there is a natural tendency to equate doing good deeds with a certain amount of reward, and reward with a certain amount of money. What is more, they maintain that since the basis of contemporary society is money, one of the major means of earning money is getting reward by doing good deeds. On the contrary, the vast majority of people assume that doing a good deed should be based on people’s personal consciousness. Hence, doing a good deed is fulfilling itself and reward is of minimal significance. Numerous examples can be given, but this will suffice. Mr. Leifeng lived a simple life dedicated to doing good deeds without expecting any reward and helping people from all walks of life, yet he was remembered as one of the most successful hero of our time. Generally speaking, it is my view that we should not expect a reward when doing a good deed. We do this for enjoyment, self-fulfillment and spiritual enhancement, not for the purpose of reward. 參考翻譯：
許多人做好事后期望得到回報。首先，把做好事等同于一定的回報，這是人的一種本性。其中的回報就是一定數量的錢。其次，他們認為當代社會是錢的社會，通過做好事獲得回報是掙錢的一種方式。
相反，還有些人認為做好事應當是人的一種本能的意識。因此，做好事是本能的驅使回報并不重要。有許多這樣的事例，但這一件足以說明了，雷鋒過著簡樸的生活，他一生幫助了許多人，他做好事從來都不期望得到回報，他已經成為當代眾所周知的英雄。
通常來說，我們不應當期望回報。把做好事當成一種樂趣，自我實現和精神品質的提升，而不是以回報為目的。
