As part of a class assignment you have to write about6 the following topic.

In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nerses to look after them. Sometimes the fovernment has to pay for this vare.

Who shoukd be responsible for old people?

Give reasons(argument) for your answer.

You should write at least 250 wors.

One of the most chanlleging problems of today’s society is the question who should be responsible for our old people. It’s not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want our society to have. In my essay I would like ti four different models.

Firstly, the company can be responsible for their reiired employees. For this reason a special fund could be established. The advantage of this model is, if you belief in the capitalist system, tha tit should be the cheapest solution. A possible problem is that the companies might have vomprtition disadvantage due to higher staff cases.

A second solution is that the government has to tale the responsibility for the old people’s care. It can finance this with its tax incomes. Actually, this is the most democratic midel since everybody gets as much money as he or she needs. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this solution seems not to work very well. The government can no longer afford suporting all the old peoples.

Another way of solving this problem is to give back the responsibility to the individual. That means that everybody has to save money during their working life for the live after their retirement. This seems to be not a very fair model because their will certainly exist people who can’t afford to save part of their aslary. In this case the government would have to care for them.

A last solution is to go back to the old model of the“big family”who cares for all their members.

I don’t think this is possible in our days society because the family structures have so much changed.

T o sum up I have to admitt that I can’t find a really good solution for ths problem. All models have advantages and disadvantages. Certainly we have to thind about ths topic much more in the future.

The dominance of black people in US sport is due to sociological rather than physiological factors. Discuss.

EXAMPLE:

Since World WarⅡ popular American sports such as Baseball, Basketball and Field and Track have seen the qualitative and quantitative dominance of black (Arro-America) athletes. The purpose of this essay is to examine the relative importance of the sociologicaland physiological factors which have contributed to this phenimenon.

sociological.（简短3~5句）

It is a fact of life that the development of science and technology has been accompanied by a decline in traditional culture. In my opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing, because some aspects of tradition culture hamper progress an d should be abandoned Moreover, it is natural that people should want ot find new ways of doing things.

In the first place, science and technology have cleared up many matters that were mysterious to us in the past. For instance, we now know that thunder and lightning are not caused by gods being angry, but are normal natural phenomena. As a result, a large number of harmful superstitions have disappeared, and nobody regrets their passing.

In the second place, our everyday lives have been made more convenint by scientific and technological inventions. Nowadays electric lights have replaced the traditional oil lamps, and computers enable us to make quicker and more accurate calculations. Even more inportant is the fact that televion brings the family together in evening.(高度提炼的例证)

In the third place, science and technology actually help to preserve the useful and pleasant parts of traditional culture. Take the celebration of the Chinese Lantern Festival for example. Lanterns are now designed with modern technology and materials to make them more attractive, and they are powered by electricity, which is safer than candles.

Therefore, for the above reasons, I welcome the development of science and technology. Advances in science and technology have brought us many benefits. At the same time, they have eliminated the bad parts of traditional culture while preserving the good parts.

It is an undeniable fact that scientific and technological developments bring raeat benefits to people. Especially since the Industrial Revolution took place, our lives have been made much more conveninent by inventions such as trains, airplanes and computers. But I think that the loss of our traditional culture is too high a price to pay for this.

In the first place, our culture has formed the customs and valuse of our people for centuries. We must let our culture guide us in our everyday lives, and not allow machines to make our decisions for us. A comfortable but spiritually empty life, without the traditional bonds of kinship and friendship would not be worth living.(议论发挥)

Secondly, it is obvious that people are anxious to preserve their culture. For instance, Chinese people who use computers and cars during the day sit down to watch Peking opera and eat traditional food in the evening. Especially when people move to other countries they become homesick and form national culture societies.（例证）

Last but not least, we should make science and technology serve traditional culture. This can be done by making festivals and other cultural occasions more widely known, using radio and television. In addition, we should strengthen our family ties by using the latest developments in telecommunications, such as email. (by giving additional details—支持主题句)

In conclusion, I think we should never allow science and technology to dazzle our eyes so that we lose sight of our cultural values. On the contrary, we should use the discoveries of science and technology to reinforce our fine cultural traditions. The result will be that our lives will be materially and spirtually balanced.

As part of a class assignment you have to write about the following topic. With the increasing popularity of computers and calculators, student literacy is decreasing dramatically. What are the positive and negative efficts the progress of science and technology has brought about?

Write at least 250 words

It has been widely noted that, whith the growing use of computers and calculators both in the classroom and in the home, the level of literacy and mathematical ablity of students is dropping. This raises serious doubts about the value of the progress of science and technology. Here I will discuss the pros and cons of this quesiton.

First of all, advances in science and technology have vertainly brought about many venefits of mankind. They have made our lives more confortable and heathei. In addition, they have eased the burden of work for most people and provided them withmore leisure opportunities, while at the same time increasing produvtivity dramatically.(列出利与弊)好处

Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that technology has some negative side effcets. As mentioned above, with computers which check spelling, grammar and calculation for them, students have little incentive to learn how to do these things ofr themselves. Also. The availability of TV programs and videos eucourages an unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle.利与弊的负面影响

Another aspect of this issue is that technology may be good or bad, depending on how we use it. For instance, dynamite may be used to make road construction easier, or it may be used to kill people. Again, nuclear reactors cansupply huge a mounts of cheap electricity, but if they are carelessly handled they can cause devastating pollution. 科学技术的客观影响。

We can conclude that the progress of science and technology has both positive and negative effects. What we must do is make sure that the positive and negative effects. What we must do is make sure that the positive ones are encourged and the negative ones are eliminated as far as possible. Among other things, this means that students are warned not to let computers and calculators do all their work for them.

Many people bilieve that people have been divided into different kinds and abilities before they are born. However, the envornoment, education, experiences and other factors his birth do play a vital role in the formation of a person’s characters and abilities although his natural dispositions will have its traces seen throughout his life.

First of all, environment in which a person grows up exerts lasting and decisive influence on him. It includes the famil his is born into make him the person he is. George Bush might become a scientist instead of a persident if he was born into Modame Curie’s family. Therefore, in what surrourdings a person is born is very important his later development.

Secondly, in the formaiton of a person’s personality and disposition comes educaion, which is exceptinally perominent in the modern, civilized and technological world. Education obtained by a modern man in all kinds of schools not only makes a man knowledge but also more sensible, reasonbale, humane and food-humored. That’s why almost all the parents a re very particular about sending their kids to prestigious schools.

Thirdly, a person will be molded by his life experiences. A person who has bee loved, cared by his family,relatives, and people around him will grow into a man full of love for others. A person who has undergone untold hardship and miseries will became harsh, firm and unjielding. But a person who has been bullied or neglected might become a aggressive, an hostile man who has a negative attitude to the society and other people.

These are only three of the numerous factors in life that influence the growth of a human being. That is why we should try our best to provede favorate ecvironment to our infants so they can turn into nealty, capable, creative and loving adults.
