What can be done to solve the problem of watershortage? Surely, modern people frequently are plagued with this question. As for me, there are three methods as followings.（the problem of water shortage）3. Is the history of no avail to modern society? Recentdiscussions concerning the function of history haveraised some very real doubts in the minds ofcontemporary people. As far as I am concerned, we can benefit a lot form the past.(whether history is useful to cotemporary society)4. A recent survey reports that there were about one thirdof college graduates who could not find an ideal job in2005. This fact prompts us to make a thorough analysis of the root reason of this alarming phenomenon.(theissue of unemployment of graduates)5. It is generally agreed that the main responsibility ofteachers is to pass on knowledge to students. As a result, if students can do well in academic subjects, theirteachers are qualified enough. However, I assert thatassisting students in distinguishing right from wrong is more significant for teachers.(the relationship between students and teachers)6. With the development of computer technology, books, asa traditional medium, are more and more challenged.Many libraries are faced with such a dilemma, whether they should invest on computers or on books. With every aspect taken into consideration, I believe that to invest on computers would be a better choice.(investment inbooks or computers for a library)Successful body:1. One main reason for water shortage is lack of theawareness of water conservation. For example, moreoften than not we can come across such a phenomenon that a person turns a faucet on and forgets to turn it off.Precious water has been totally squandered. （theproblem of water shortage）2. Smoking should be banned without any hesitation for it israther detrimental to people’s health. Cigarette smokecontains nicotine, several cancer producing or irritatingsubstances and carbon monoxide gas. Damage to the lining of the bronchial tubes is much more among cigarettesmokers than non smokers, even when there is no obvious disease. Some of these changes are considered to bepre-cancerous. Lung function is generally reduced among cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoking is a greater hazard than other factors---such as community air pollution—in the causation of lung cancer and chronic bronchitis.(nosmoking)3 Due to great strides of modern technology, dramatictransformations have taken place in our life. In the past, if we were anxious to contact friends, we had to drop in on them in person, which was inconvenient andtime-consuming. Now, fashionable cell phones can be an efficient bridge between acquaintances.(the benefit of modern technology)4. There are a lot of benefits of raising dogs. First, dogscontribute to the health of their owners. Often theirdemands for walks and play improve their owner’sexercise routine. In fact, statistics show that dog owners get more regular exercise than non-dog owners do. Also, they enhance health simply be being around to bepetted. Second, they provide a means for parents toteach their children responsibility. When parents givechildren a dog, they provide them the opportunity tofulfill the responsibilities of walking, feeding, and caring for its other needs. Finally and most important of all,dogs enhance the well-being and emotional stability of families. Older people who live alone especially rely on dogs to give them enjoyment and company. Childrenalso find a great deal of comfort in their dogs. As anexample, a family dog helps a little boy adapt when his mother leaves him with a sitter and goes towork..(advantage of keeping pets)5.lot of advantages. Firstly, after three or four years ofschooling, students can undoubtedly acquire valuableexpertise, which is essential to their future jobs. As weknow, through compulsory and optional courses,students lay a solid foundation in a particular field andare confident to solve the relevant problemsconfronted.(benefits of college education)6. By contrast, the opponents argue that its drawbacksshould not be ignored. For one thing, some existingmajors are so out of date that they serve no purpose for the future job. In such a dilemma, there is no doubt that graduation means exactly unemployment. If whatstudents learn in colleges is only theoreticalargumentation definitely unconnected with reality, what is the point in wasting such prime time? (drawbacks of college education)Successful conclusion:1. The extinction of species, the shortage of lumber anddrug ingredients, the reduction of oxygen and theincrease of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere all signal that we cannot afford to lose any moreforests.(protection of forests)2. To stop losing more forests, we should educate people,especially those who have destroyed and who are going to destroy forests for one reason or another, in why forestsmust exist on the earth. (protection of forests)雅思基础写作精讲班第5讲讲义写作的素材素材Topics:1. If a five-year old commits a crime, should his/her parents have the responsibility and are punished?
