1、Sample 1 (P119) （專四）Should Older People Live Together With Their Adult ChildrenIn my opinion, the practice of older people living together with their adult children should not be encouraged. All available evidence goes to show that this practice, though wide-spread in rural areas, has proved to be p

2、roblematic.First, it is inconvenient for two or three generations to live under the same roof, because the way of living or thinking between the old and the young are rarely the same. For example, most older people prefer quietness, whereas their adult children just prefer the opposite.Secondly, it

3、is fairly difficult for the two generations to get along well. There always arises some misunderstanding between the old and the young, especially between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. If they do not live together, many of such quarrels can be avoided.Thirdly, the income and the expenses in a

4、 big family have always been a big problem between the old and the young. They always differ from each other as to how to deal with their income. This problem can also be avoided if they live separately.Therefore, though living together does have some certain advantages, I believe that both the old

5、and the young will live more comfortably if they live separately.Sample 2 (P119) （專四）People have different views on the environment pollution. What is your view on it ?My view on Environment PollutionIts well known that the world we live in is getting worse and worse because of the increasing enviro

6、nmental destruction. For example, many people are cutting down trees for fuel or sale, but deforestation results in the increase of global temperature and unpleasant change of climate. Besides, human beings are being bothered by water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution.Governments of most

7、countries have taken some measures to stop the environment from being further damaged. Many people are trying hard to find ways to prevent the pollution from going on. Laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and situation in many regions have improved.However, the problem

8、of environmental protection is far from being solved completely. On the one hand, environmental pollution and destruction are getting worse with the rapid development of science and technology. On the other hand, many people have realized the urgency of solving the problem. In brief, we have a long

9、way to go before we can make the earth a better peace to live in.Sample 3 (P184) （專四）Directions: Some people believe that some people are born clever, and others born stupid. But differences are also found in twins who grow up and work in different environments. How do you account for this? What con

10、clusion can you draw?Intelligence and EnvironmentIt is true that some people are born clever and others born stupid. Apparently, intelligence is innate quality, that is, to some extent, our intelligence is given at birth. People having close blood relationship are likely to be similar in intelligenc

11、e. Take two identical twins, for example. They may share the same intelligence.And it is also right to believe that intelligence is affected by the environments we are living in and the education weve received. What would happen to their intelligence if two identical twins are put in different envir

12、onments? We might send one of them, for instance, to a highly developed city and the other to a poor and backward village. We can expect to see differences in their intelligence development. Any special education or whatever favorable environment can make a genius out of a child with average intelli

13、gence. On the other hand, for children with similar or identical intelligence, those who live in favorable environments may develop their intelligence better than those who grow up in unfavorable surroundings. This shows the effect of environments on intelligence though intelligence is what people a

14、re born with.The above analysis shows that good education and favorable living conditions and surroundings have great positive effect on ones intelligence though it is given at birth. In order to make children more intelligent, we should make great efforts to improve their education.Practice:1. Coop

The prospective employers put too muc

16、h emphasis on the job seekers educational background and neglect their practical abilities. As a result, all kinds of fake diplomas and certificates come into being to meet with this abnormal phenomenon in our society. Therefore, fake diplomas disorder the job and employments and even do harm to the

17、 society.Nevertheless, our government has adopted a series of means to eliminate fake diplomas. For one thing, some organizations have kept detailed record of the diploma holders and issued the diplomas with fake-proof seal, which cant be easily copied. For another, for those who fabricate fake dipl

18、omas, government has taken legal measures to punish them severely, including forcing them to pay a high fine. Finally, some employers have given more weight to candidates abilities. Once they find their employees get the jobs by using fake diplomas, they will dismiss these people from their posts im

19、mediately.The above only serve as the basic ways to cope with the problems. Therefore, we should work out some more effective methods to prohibit fake diplomas.Sample 4 (P30) （專四）Directions: Advertising is common throughout the world as a way of letting the public know about a product. Some people f

20、eel that advertising is generally helpful, while others feel it is often harmful. Discuss your idea of good and bad effects of advertising, and decide whether you think it is generally helpful or harmful. Use specific examples to support your discussion.The Good and Bad Effects of AdvertisingYou are

21、 to write in four paragraphs:In the first paragraph, state your point of view.In the second paragraph, describe the harmful effects and give specific examples.In the third paragraph, describe the helpful effects and give specific examples.In the last paragraph, restate your point of view.Marks will

22、be awarded for contents, organization, grammar, and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.In most countries in the world, advertising is common. You can see posters on doors, signs on buses, pictures in magazines, and commercials on TV. Though these signs of a

23、dvertising are often dislikes, I feel that, overall, advertising has very positive results.The harmful effects of advertising are obvious. When you are listening to beautiful music on the radio, a commercial is disturbing. It interrupts your program and changes your mood. Television commercials are

24、the worst of all. Your program is stopped, and you are forced to watch an advertisement unless you actively change the channel or leave the room. I think that there should be laws to limit the advertisers right to interrupt TV and radio programs.In general, however, I think that the positive results

25、 of advertisements are beneficial to society and individuals. When I do shopping, I can use advertisements in newspapers and internets to compare prices, features, and quality of the product I want to buy. By being more informed, I can buy something that will benefit me in the long run. With the adv

26、ertisements, people save a lot of time in shopping, looking for jobs, etc.All in all, for a wise and educated shopper, the help effects of advertising outweigh the harmful effects.Sample 5 (P93) （專四）Directions: It is generally accepted that diligence is the mother of success. Use specific reasons an

27、d examples to explain how important diligence is to anyone who wants to succeed.My View on Diligence and SuccessEverybody knows that diligence is the key to success. As a proverb says, “Diligence is the mother of success.” Diligence means working hard and persistently.All famous people of great achi

28、evements are examples of diligence. They all owe their successes to hard work. Without constant efforts, no one can expect to succeed in doing anything great. Thomas Edison kept on working hard for a long time before he was able to invent the electric light. Madam Curie worked hard in the poor condi

29、tions for many years before she finally discovered radium. Some people may attribute success to good luck. But good luck favors only those who are always well prepared and diligent people who can make use of it. So idleness can only lead to poverty. If you do not devote yourself to your study and wo

30、rk, you can hardly make a living, let alone make some accomplishments.As college students, we must be aware that the only way to success is hard work. We must concentrate our attention on our studies, and make full use of our precious time, in order to meet the fierce challenging in the future compe

31、titions. It is certain that our future success will only rest on our constant efforts. As proverb says “Only by working hard, can we reap a bumper harvest”.本文用諺語開頭，說明勤奮與成功的關(guān)系：勤奮是成功之母。作者通過例證法證明了勤奮對(duì)于成功的重要；最后勸大學(xué)生只有努力學(xué)習(xí)， 才能獲得未來的成功。本文突出的論證方法是例證法。作者用愛迪生和居里夫人的事例證明勤奮的重要。例證法要求所選事例應(yīng)該典型， 眾所周知，說服力強(qiáng)。模擬訓(xùn)練：How do
