题目：影视中的暴力是否该限制
The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this issue?
思路：
应该控制1：有暴力情节的电影和镜头是精神毒药。它们包含太多的刺激的，煽动性的情结，这让观众变得富有攻击性。
应该控制2：有暴力情节的电影中的电影明星树立了负面榜样，他们给年轻人传达了一个错误的观念，即暴力是一种合适的方式来解决一切社会问题，这在年轻人中培养了一种对于犯罪的崇拜。
不应该控制：暴力镜头本身就能反应社会现实，这是对于人们的一种教育，也让他们对于可能在身边出现的暴力进行防范。
范文（Band 9）：
Nowadays, many people argue that the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television, in order to reduce social crimes. In my view, this assertion is partially wise, and my reasons would be explored as below.
Admittedly, there are many good reasons for controlling the amount of violence in films and on television. First, violent films and television are mental poisons for the audience It is because they contains numerous of erotic, corrupt and provoking episode, with long exposure to which, viewers might become aggressive and eccentric. In addition, violence contents set negative role models for young viewers, especially the youth. Activities like fighting, shooting or killing done by movie stars send teenagers a wrong message that violence is an effective or even essential solution to all troubles. Therefore, these youngsters with immature minds begin to admire violence and disrespect social rules, which leads to the increasing of the juvenile delinquents. According to the analysis above, it is clear that the measure of limiting violent information on media should be encouraged, for the reason that it can directly cut off the access to those illegal and evil behaviors and thoughts, thus keeping people from imitating them.
Advocates claim that the practice of controlling the amount of violence in mass media is a brazen violation of the people's basic right to know the truth of the
world. For example, some films contain some violence, but they reflect the things happened around us. Rather than producing negative effects on audience, to some extent, these films educate them. Furthermore, violence in films or on television programs cultivates people's senses of crisis and responsibility, which makes ordinary people and police work better for public security. Consequently, it is irresponsible and foolish to blame the media for violence in our society.
As far as I am concern, I strongly believe that the amount of violence in films and TV should be controlled. At the same time, we cannot deny the advantages brought by them. And the best policy is to develop the merits of the violent films and television, while grading and filtering them.（353）
题目2：是否该禁止一切广告
Society would benefit from the ban on all forms of advertising because it may serve no useful purpose, and can even be damaging. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
思路：
1. 广告的优势多多。第一，它能帮助刺激产品和服务的销量，特别是将那些新品牌引入市场。第二，很多公益性广告能教育大众。举例，很多广告反对暴力和歧视广告塑造了年轻观众的价值观。
2. 然而，很多广告包含了虚假信息，或是鼓励大众进行过度消费。举例，这会说服观众去购买不合适的，不需要的产品。
范文（Band 9）：
It is undeniable that advertising industry has grown in the last years, positive and negatives points of view have born among the people opinion due to the impact over life consume. I particularly believe that it has a lot of advantages, but it should be regulated correctly.
Advertising has several benefits. Firstly, it helps to promote products and services among people; it is especially true when a new brand and trends are being introduced on the market. Secondly, it is a powerful tool to induce sales and revenues by many modern businesses; As a result, a lot of companies invest much money to develop strategies on media to close their products to the customer. Lastly, adequate advertisements are useful to inform and educate our society. For instance, strong campaigns against violence, abuse and discrimination have had excellent results in schools among young people.
On the other hand, others argue that advertising has a negative impact, such as it gives false information and extreme consume is encouraged by a high quantity of advertisements on radio, TV and internet. Consequently, children could be persuaded and influenced by unreal and overacted behavior showed on them. In contrast of this, many companies and governments have started to regulated
those announce and his content. For example, notes have been printed on covers related to the risk to get any product in excess or even changes made in the art and photos such as human body modifications or unreal effects.
In conclusion, I believe with a correct regulation applied to agencies by governments, advertising is an excellent way to get people close to products, trends and information.（271）

雅思写作大作文范文 在英文写作中，逻辑关系至关重要。所以在实际教学中我们都会把逻辑关系作为一个很重要的内容来教授。这些逻辑关系主要涉及：并列或递进关系、让步或转折关系、因果关系和举例等。其中举例论证是一种很常用的论证方式，因为举例论证运用具体实例来论证观点，所以更具信服力，也更易于读者理解，因此受到作者及读者的普遍欢迎。下面专家将通过它的连接方式与您共同探讨一下举例论证以及如何举例子。 一、外显连接 如：it is undeniable that mobile phones have facilitated our lives in many different ways. For example, when an emergency ours, such as a traffic aident or a violent crime, mobile phones can help the victims to call the police or an ambulance immediately for help. 本例中，for example 引出例子论证“mobile phones have facilitated our lives in many different ways.”而后面的such as 则引出emergency 的具体形式。For instance 与它的用法完全相同，即后面要接句子例证。 Like, such as, take…as 等
直接名词（或相当于名词的词）。由于这些都是基本常识，这里不再赘述。 为了使连接词多样化，建议考生运用下面的一些短语（或句式）连接论点和论据：…is a case in point; …serve as a typical example;…can be taken as an example; one example is that… another one is that等。 如：Working part time when you are studying in university is beneficial to your life. I myself is a case in point（or ‘my experiences serve as a typical example’）. Through those experiences, I have learned to be independent and responsible. 二、内化连接 实际上，大家看原汁原味的文英文文章会发现有些信息的连接不用外显式，而是通过某些特定的词或者特定的方式给读者以清晰的层次感，从而使文章信息传递更通畅。 下面我们来看一下哪些例证可以省去连接词，实现内化连接。
题目1：电子图书馆能否代替传统图书馆 Maintaining public libraries is a waste of money since computer technology can replace their functions. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 思路： 1. 基于网络，可以随时随地的连接和使用，这带来了极大的便利。举例，人们在家中就可以上线阅读，这节约了那些原本要花在交通上的时间和精力，同时，这也消除了那些行动不便的人，如老人和残疾人对于出行的担心。最终，电子图书馆提供了阅读上舒适和方便，通过摆脱物理上的限制(physical limits)。 2. 电子图书馆是一个虚拟的系统，节约成本。举例，它的组成只需要一个小小的机房和几台服务器，这大大的节约了土地和建筑成本。此外，电子图书馆能实现电脑对于图书的自动管理，这也节省了那些人力的维护成本。 3. 极大提升信息检索的效率。电子图书馆是一套先进的信息管理系统，人们只需要输入关键字和点击鼠标，它在数秒之内就能够完整地，准确地分析，查找，归类和排序相关的信息资源，这大大节约了人们在数据查询上的时间。相反，在传统图书馆，人们不得不花费大量时间和精力在书架之间游荡，或是搬运图书。 4. 环保。电子图书馆实现了信息的无纸化存储。这大大减少了对于纸张和工业印刷的需求，最终，它保护了森林，也减少了污染。 范文（Band 9）： IT industry has made too many revolutionary changes in all aspects of the society, and the public education is not exempt from this trend. Personally, I strongly believe that the Internet-based library, or electronic library, will take the place of the real-world library in this century, and my reasons will be explored as below. This assertion is fundamentally right, because of the incomparable advantages of advanced computer technology. Firstly, the e-library can bring great convenience to the audience. Obviously, online technology eradicates the physical and time limits, and makes the e-library universally at all times and places. For example, people can have an easy and comfortable access to the e-library by using the Internet at home, which saves the time and energy that could be wasted in going out to the real library, or standing in the long queue in front of the loan desk. The second reason of supporting e-library is about the costs. Compared with a

Technology & media 类 科技类 People today can perform the everyday tasks such as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face-to-face. What effects will this phenomenon have on individuals and society as a whole? 开头段（不少于3+1句） The interactivity of the Internet and the mobile phone has enabled a multitude of people to purchase their desired items or pay their phone bills without stepping out of their offices or homes. And many others can even register for tests or sign contracts online. This sweeping trend of going about everyday business in the virtual world has triggered a marked decline in face-to-face contact between people. Thus, it is essential that we identify the implication of this trend on both individuals and society as a whole. 主体段1（不少于1+6句） The impact of this phenomenon on individuals is profound. First, Individual efficiency in business transaction and banking will be greatly enhanced. And those who dread shopping are spared the chore of browsing around in shops. Secondly, the increasingly sedentary lifestyle will engender a higher incidence of ailment. More overweight people means more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as vein hardening, diabetes and hypertension. Thirdly, the absence of face-to-face contact may induce distrust between business partners. An inherent sense of disbelief is apt to ruin a telecommunicated negotiation when negotiators can only see videos of each other transmitted via the Internet. 主体段2（不少于1+6句） This trend also has widespread repercussions on society as a whole. In the first place, the burgeoning e-commerce will, doubtless, boost corporate efficiency immeasurably. And higher efficiency means more earnings and less costs for businesses. In the second place, online fraud, be it banking or trading, retail or wholesale, is sure to abound in the cyberspace. We must search for practicable and effectual means of curbing it. In the third place, the proliferation of e-commerce may exacerbate man's overdependence on technology. And that can render our lives unspontaneous and our tempo of life too fast and furious. 结尾段（不少于2句）
剑桥雅思8-第三套试题-写作部分-Task 1真题部分: WRITING TASK 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task The diagrams below show the stages and equipment used in the cement-making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building purposes. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. Task one 题目要求 (见“剑8”P78) 审题 题目翻译：下面的这两幅图显示了水泥制作方法的各个步骤和所需设备，以及如何用水泥生产用于建造房屋的混凝土。 本题为流程图题型，由两幅流程图构成。同样都是两幅流程图，本题难度要大于剑6 Test 3。剑6那道题显示了如何利用蚕茧生产丝绸的过程。图一显示蚕的生命循环，图二表现丝绸制造过程。剑6 Test 3那样的单一流程图只需要根据箭头的指向，注意写作顺序即可，图一和图二之间是单纯的时间先后顺序关系，而本题的两幅图之间则是在时间先后顺序的基础上，增加了对比关系。考生除了要分别描写制作水泥和混凝土的方法之外，还要比较这两种方法的异同。 写作思路 本题由两幅图组成，写作时可以分为四段。第一段可以通过改写题目的说明性文字介绍两幅图的主要内容；第二段和第三段分别描写水泥和混凝土的制作方法；第四段用来总结这两种制作方法的共同点和差异。 考生作文 (见“剑8”P166) 参考译文 这些图显示了水泥的制作流程和所用到的设备，以及如何用这些来制造用于建造房屋的混凝土。 生产水泥的第一步是添入石灰石(和)黏土。这些材料穿过捣碎机，变成粉末。接着粉末进入搅拌器。之后，产品经过加热的旋转加热器。接下来，混合物进入研磨机，水泥就出来了。在工序的最后水泥被装包。 在混凝土制造方面，其工序的第一步是要将15％的水泥，10％的水，25％的沙和50％的石子进行混合。这四种成分被放进混凝土搅拌器。 如上所述，混凝土生产需要的步骤比水泥生产要少；但前者需要使用更多的材料以获取最终产品。 两大制作流程的最后区别在于混凝土搅拌机不需要加热。

To what extent do you agree or disagree? 大学是否应该在教授知识的同时进行行为习惯的教育? 范文： It is often argued that teachers should be accountable for their student’s good and bad conducts as they are responsible for teaching them the morality of their children. Others, on the other hand, opi ne that educators’ role should be limited to imparting academic (educational) curriculum among students. This essay will discuss both points of view and argue that instructors can share the
responsibility for inculcating socially acceptable manners in students along with academic course training, followed by a reasoned conclusion. 人们常说，教师应该对学生的好与坏行为负责，因为他们有责任教导他们的孩子的道德。另一方面，另一些人则认为教育者的角色应该局限于向学生传授学术(教育)课程。这篇*将讨论这两种观点，并认为教师可以分担责任，在进行学术课程培训的同时，向学生灌输社会可接受的礼仪，然后得出一个合理的结论。 Many support the teacher’s role in students’ behaviour modification. Firstly they think that students spend much more time with their educators in school than with their parents. So it is easy for the trainers to develop a good interpersonal relationship with students and, thereby, can have a great influence on their trainees. In addition, they can give moral lessons through moral classes. Moreover, most of the students find their teachers as their role model. So the students accept the instructions of their professors’ than anyone else. 许多人支持教师在学生行为矫正中的作用。首先，他们认为学生在学校花更多的时间和老师在一起，而不是和父母在一起。因此，培训师很容易与学生建立良好的人际关系，从而对他们的学员产生很大的影响。此外，他们可以通过道德课进行道德教育。
雅思大作文新闻媒体类话题范文--广告是否让人们变得一样 Advertisements discourage us from being different individuals and make us become what they want us to be and look the same. Do you agree or disagree? 广告阻止我们成为不同的个体，使我们成为他们想要我们成为的样子，看起来都一样。你同意或不同意吗? 思路解析： 1. 广告让人们变得个性化。举例，大量的广告标语，如“唯一的”，“特别的”，“最好的”，“不一样的”，都是在暗示人们去购买那些不那么大众化的产品来突出自我。 2. 但是，广告的基本功能却是帮助大公司垄断市场。举例，投入巨资打造的闪亮广告能不断巩固那些大品牌在大众中的形象，这吸引了越来越多的人来购买同样的产品。相反，那些小公司却因为缺乏资金做广告而陷入破产边缘。最终，整个市场会被单一品牌垄断。 3. 广告的另外一个作用是制造流行趋势，这刺激了人们对同一个时尚进行盲目的购买。举例，在大厂商的广告诱惑之下，很多的人们总是购买同一个著名品牌的衣服，鞋子，包包，这让她们的外表缺乏区别。 参考范文： Nowadays, the overwhelming influence of advertisements on media has made too many controversial social issues. Some people argue that advertisements make the audience have the similar look by driving them to buy products of the same brand. Personally, I fundamentally agree with this assertion, and my reasons will be explored as below. Admittedly, the literal intention of advertisements is to sharpen the concept of individualism. For the purpose of distinguishing brand names, slogans and testimonials in advertisement are always full of very personalized words, including "new", "innovation", "uniqueness", "revolution", "the best", "the only", "the first". It is clear that core

Preface Building upon my experience as an IELTS writing teacher and professional writer, I collected abundant writing materials authentic from test centers and other media. This book is the result of a combination of two years of teaching experience and the research of IELTS writing skills, built upon equally as many hours creating original writing samples to students preparing to take their IELTS test. This book has been developed to be used in the classroom and for self-study. The book covers both the General Training and Academic test. Using a step-by-step approach, a detailed explanation of how to approach writing in IELTS is given, with each unit concentrating on one particular aspect of the writing test. The exercises are designed to teach the required skills, focusing on practical application of knowledge. Model answers are also included for students to compare their own writing against, thereby gradually guiding students in wring articles that fully meet the requirements of the IELTS writing test in every aspect. The materials in this book are all authentic, keeping the original style and content. The book is very helpful for the students who are planning to take the IELTS test. The book also gives a prediction of the IELTS in 2003, covering any possible topics which are commonly seen in the test.

Why do you think people attend college or university? Model Answer 1: People attend college for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and of the world around them. Career preparation is probably the primary reason that people attend college. These days, the job market is very competitive. Careers such as information technology will need many new workers in the near future. At college, students can learn new skills for these careers and increase their opportunities for the future. Students also go to college to have new experiences. For many, it is their first time away from home. At college, they can meet new people from many different places. They can see what life is like in a different city. They can learn
