3. 我的看法Keeping PetsThere is no denying the fact that keeping pets has been a hotly debated topic in China. People’s opinions differ sharply on this issue. Some hold the positive view. They say that pets like cats, dogs and birds can reduce, to some extent, loneliness for both adults and children, especially for the old, the single, housewives and the disabled. Without pets, these people’s life would become dull and cheerless.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They maintain that keeping pets should be banned. They point out that pets are responsible for noises, which disturb people’s rest, and for injuries suffered both by the people who keep them and by innocent neighbors. They also argue that keeping pets is a waste of money and resources.Personally, I believe that we should not go to extremes. On the one hand, we should allow people to keep pets; on the other hand, we should take measures to solve the problems caused by pets. This can be done by banning pets from public places.In addition,large and dangerous pets should be restricted to special areas.或Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.2．Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way.

是否应该养宠物辩论英语作文The debate surrounding the question of whether or not we should keep pets has been a topic of controversy for ages. While some argue that pets bring immeasurable joy and companionship to our lives, others maintain that keeping pets can pose various challenges and even ethical concerns. This essay aims to explore both sides of the argument, acknowledging the benefits as well as the drawbacks of pet ownership.On the positive side, pets offer a source of unconditional love and companionship that can significantly enrich our lives. They provide a sense of purpose and routine, often leading to improved mental well-being. The simple act of petting a dog or cat has been scientifically proven to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. For elderly individuals or those living alone, pets can serve as a vital social support, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. Moreover, certain pets, such as dogs, require regular exercise, encouraging their owners to be more active and healthy.However, the debate is not without its detractors. Keeping pets can be a significant financial commitment, with the costs of food, healthcare, and other necessities adding up quickly. In addition, pets can sometimes cause damage to property, whether it's chewing on furniture or scratching at doors. Moreover, the responsibility of caring for a pet is not to be taken lightly, as they rely on their owners for their basic needs. Neglecting or abusing a pet is unethical and can lead to serious consequences for both the animal and the owner.Another important consideration is the impact of pet ownership on the environment. The production of pet food and other pet-related products often contributes to environmental degradation, and the disposal of pet waste can also pose challenges. Furthermore, the breeding and adoption of pets can sometimes lead to overpopulation issues, particularly when irresponsible breeders or owners fail to take proper measures.In conclusion, the decision to keep pets is a personal one that requires careful consideration of both thebenefits and drawbacks. While pets can bring immense joyand companionship to our lives, they also requiresignificant time, money, and responsibility. It isessential that potential pet owners are fully aware ofthese commitments and are prepared to meet the needs oftheir pets. Additionally, it is important to consider the environmental impact of pet ownership and take measures to minimize any negative effects. Ultimately, the choice to keep a pet should be made with the best interests of boththe animal and the owner at heart.**是否应该养宠物**关于是否应该养宠物的问题，历来是众说纷纭的争议话题。

谈谈你对饲养宠物的观点英语作文Keeping pets has become a popular trend in modern society. Many people enjoy the companionship and love that pets bring into their lives. However, there are also some who argue against keeping pets, citing issues such as animal welfare and the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. In this essay, I will discuss my views on keeping pets.First and foremost, I believe that keeping pets can have numerous benefits for both the pet owner and the pet itself. Pets provide companionship, emotional support, and unconditional love to their owners. Many studies have shown that owning a pet can improve mental and physical health by reducing stress, anxiety, and loneliness. Pets can also help their owners to become more active and social, as they need to be taken care of and exercised regularly.Furthermore, keeping pets can be a fulfilling experience that teaches responsibility and empathy. Pet ownership requires a commitment to caring for the pet's well-being, including providing food, shelter, exercise, and medical care. This responsibility can help develop a sense of empathy and compassion towards animals and foster a sense of accountability in pet owners.On the other hand, there are valid concerns about the welfare of pets in some cases. Some people may not have the time, resources, or knowledge to properly care for a pet, leading to neglect or abuse. It is important for pet owners to educate themselves on the needs of their pets and to provide a safe and loving environment for them to thrive.In conclusion, I believe that keeping pets can be a rewarding experience for both the pet owner and the pet itself. Pets bring joy, companionship, and love into our lives, and can have a positive impact on our physical and mental well-being. However, it is essential for pet owners to prioritize the welfare of their pets and to fulfill their responsibilities as caretakers. By doing so, we can create a harmonious and fulfilling relationship with our beloved furry friends.。

养宠物1. 有些人赞成养宠物2. 有些人反对养宠物3. 你的观点Keeping PetsThere is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a hotly debated topic today. Some people claim that keeping pets is a good thing to do. They believe that pets, like cats and dogs, can help relieve the loneliness suffered by senior citizens and other social members who are confined to their homes for this reason or that. They also argue that keeping pets helps mankind understand animals’ world and develop positive feelings toward them.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They regard keeping pets as a useless but harmful thing to do. First, pets can transmit diseases. Secondly, the noises and dung of pets are sources of pollution. Last but not least, as many rare birds and animals are kept as pets, they will surely be hunted on a large scale, which means a threat to the balance of the ecosystem.Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.学历造假On Fabricating Academic Credentials1.现在学历造假现象非常猖獗2.分析这一现象的原因3.如何根除这一现象【精彩范文】On Fabricating Academic CredentialsEtymologically, the word “credential”derives from “credit”and is related to the moral attribute of credibility. An academic credential reflects a student’s academic knowledge and expertise, with which he becomes qualified for performing certain professional responsibilities at certain professional positions. Academic credentials shouldn’t be falsified because false credentials are dangerous. For example, a medical graduate with false credentials can kill his patients rather than rescuing them.Currently, fabricating academic credentials is particularly rampant in China, where all recruitments seem to involve credentials. In order to secure the job they want, some job seekers without the required credentials have no alternative but to have them fabricated by professional forgers. While condemning users of fake credentials on both legal and moral grounds, we somehow tend to sympathize with them as they are victimized by a society addicted to the credential mania.A more despicable form of credential fabrication is perpetrated by those already highly successful people—businessmen, entrepreneurs, government officials, celebrities in the entertainment industry, etc. They use false credentials not so much to advance their careers as to project their personal image as an icon. This is a greater evil because those fabricators contrive,through fraudulence, to secure our admiration and respect on the spiritual level. A most notorious case is the scandal of TxxJxx, who pretends to be a role model for innocent Chinese youth, with false Ph.D. credential from a non-existent American university.To solve this problem, a combination of measures is necessary. We should evaluate a person by his true caliber, not solely by his credentials. Legally, we should crack down on both the seller and the buyer of false credentials. Finally, we should keep exposing and denouncing fabricators so they can no longer fool us. In this way, our society will become purified and credibility will ultimately prevail.英语课上应有更多的交流More Communication in English Class1.人们越来越提倡在英语课堂中有更多的交流2.通过交流，教师与学生都能从中获益3.我的观点【精彩范文】More Communication in English ClassAs a language, English is essentially a vehicle for communication. Communication as a function has become so important in English teaching methodology that a distinctive school of English teaching has been created—the Communicative Approach. This fully testifies to the growing importance of communication in English learning and acquisition.Unfortunately, in Chinese universities, English classes, like many other classes, are primarily teacher-dominated. For a long time, both students and instructors have seemed contented with discussing grammar and understanding passages through reading, overlooking the oral communication which is much more essential. However, communication is a bridge leading to closer student-teacher interaction. Students should overcome their diffidence and nervousness ensuing from their grammatical deficiencies. They should simply become more concerned with expressing themselves than seeking grammatical accuracy. As they become more outspoken and expressive, they would automatically become more grammatically competent.The emphasis on communication in English classes will result in many obvious advantages. English will become an instrument of expressing thoughts for the person who speaks it, instead of a tool just for reading about the thoughts of others. In addition, teachers can have positive and timely feedback from students through communication. Finally, by honing their communicative skills, Chinese students will become more competent in interacting with their international counterparts in this age of globalization. I believe those factors are what English learning is all about for Chinese students.黄金周制度Should the Golden Week Vacations Be Abolished?1)“五一”、“十一”黄金周确实推动了中国经济的发展，丰富了人们的生活2)但黄金周制度也造成了很多问题3)我的态度There is no denying the fact that the introduction of the Golden Week holidays in China hasconsiderably promoted the development of the nation’s economy and touring industry and enriched people’s life. People around the country have spent more time and money traveling and relaxing themselves.As every coin has two sides, the Golden Week holidays have also brought about piles of problems. For one thing, due to the fact that people across the country are spending their vacations during the same period of time, it is terribly crowded almost everywhere: trains, buses, hotels, scenic spots, etc., which have ruined people’s mood for va cations. For another, some businessmen take advantage of the weeklong holidays and raise the price of commodities and services.Personally, I believe that it is necessary for people to have long vacations, but there is no need for them to have the vacations during the same period of time. Instead, they should be allowed the freedom to arrange their own vacations. Only in this way can they really relax and refresh themselves for a new round of work.传统与现代化Many people pose tradition and modernization as diametrically opposite. For instance, as Beijing increasingly becomes a modern international metropolis, its traditional legacies, architecture and social mores among many other things, are shrinking at an alarming speed. However, more often than not, tradition and modernization are wholly compatible and may even be mutually enriching. The modernization process only serves to highlight the indispensable value of tradition.Future-oriented as it is, modernization cannot be cut away from the past. Man is an emotional animal whose emotional attachment to the past defines the meaning of his existence in the present and the future. Although many urban planners are involved in a reckless drive for developing high-rise buildings to make their cities look modern, true architects are committed to preserving traditional architecture. This is because demolishing traditional architecture would render modern people rootless and disoriented. Without the past serving as a framework of reference, we would not know where we are heading for.Being traditional does not mean being old-fashioned or outmoded. Many traditional values are of permanent significance and should be observed in the modern and post-modern eras. Chinese traditional ethics like benevolence and moral integrity should go beyond time and space to serve as universal values. As we strive to modernize our world, we should update and enrich our traditions instead of discarding them altogether. Otherwise, we are being irresponsible to ourselves or to our future generations.It is true modernization is an irresistible global trend taking place with increasing momentum. However, the best pattern of modernization is the one taking full account of the historical past. Modernization should not be equated with breaking up with the past but rather an extension and incorporation of the past. Accordingly, human civilization retains its continuity and human existence is made meaningful because of this continuity.啃老族现象On the Overdependence of China’s College Students on Their ParentsOn the Overdependence of China’s College Students on Their ParentsIn the United States, students generally seek an independent life at 18. They take on part-time jobs, live away from their parents, and finance their own education partially, if not completely.Upon graduation, they find a job, or launch their own business by filing for loans from the bank. They live in rented apartments even after marriage and buy a house only when they can afford it. This is a typical pattern how the American younger generation grows up.By contrast, most college students in present-day China, as the sole children of their families, take for granted their excessive dependence upon their parents. They hold their parents responsible for furnishing them with all the tuitions and living expenses. They seldom work part-time to alleviate their parents of their burdens. They have expensive dinners and birthday celebrations with their parents’ hard-earned money through months of hard work.In recent years, under the pretext of employment difficulty, some students return home to live with their parents after graduation. While their parents are busy at work, they idle away their time day after day, least concerned with finding a job to have their own source of income. Worse still, they exhaust every penny of their parents and even grandparents to buy an apartment for their own enjoyment. In doing so, they even plunge their parents into serious debts.This group of students have come to acquire an infamous name—“the Elderly-Devouring Community”. A more understandable phrase might be “parasites”. This community has come into existence as a result of long-time over-indulgence on the part of parents and the indolence and selfishness on the part of students themselves. Compared with their American counterparts, Chinese students should feel ashamed of them and take immediate actions to terminate their elderly-devouring behavior and become independent and self-reliant.经济发展与环境保护Economic Development and Environmental Protection【精彩范文】Economic development and environmental protection are a pressing issue primarily for developing countries where, in trying to catch up with developed countries, they have to consume natural resources on an unprecedented scale. This has seriously polluted our environment and, with the global environmental campaign gaining momentum, many people in China call for the precedence of environmental protection over economic development.Any attempt to pose economic development and environmental protection as diametrically contradictory is simple-minded. Since no country is willing to stop its economic development, the best way is to strike a balance between the two and to heighten the environmental awareness of those solely concerned with economic development.European countries both economically developed and environmentally friendly can serve as perfect examples for China. Their success story in both undertakings illustrates that environmental protection does not mean a complete standstill of economic activities or exploitation of natural resources, but rather an active development and application of effective technologies to minimize environmental consequences. In Germany, environmental protection has become part of economic development as it boasts the worl d’s most successful environmental industry. With a developed economy, we are well equipped to develop sophisticated technologies that can effectively safeguard our environment.The relationship between economic development and environment protection is a complex one. For modern men, neither a primitive society which is perfectly ecologically friendly nor an industrial civilization which is ecologically hostile is what we want. Environmental problems ariseas a result of industrialization and only technologies can deliver solutions to those problems. Rather than simply returning to the past of non-human activity, we can seek active technological solutions in solar energy and wind energy to replace fossil fuels. By the time this key contributor to environmental deterioration is eradicated, man will achieve a win-win result between economic development and environmental protection.【参考译文】经济发展与环境保护经济发展与环境保护构成了一个迫在眉睫的问题，这主要发生在发展中国家，因为在这些国家，在不遗余力追赶发达国家的过程中，人们不得不以史无前例的规模去消耗自然资源。

养宠物利与弊英语作文The Pros and Cons of Keeping PetsIntroduction:Keeping pets has been a part of human culture for centuries. They bring joy, companionship, and a sense of responsibility to our lives. However, there are also downsides to consider. This essay will explore the advantages and disadvantages of having pets in our homes.Pros of Keeping Pets:1. Companionship: Pets provide unconditional love and companionship. They are great for reducing feelings of loneliness and can be particularly beneficial for the elderly or those living alone.2. Health Benefits: Studies have shown that pet owners tend to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Pets, especially dogs, encourage physical activity through walks and playtime.3. Stress Relief: Interacting with pets can reduce stress and anxiety. The simple act of petting an animal can release endorphins, which are natural mood elevators.4. Educational Value: Pets teach children responsibility and empathy. Caring for a pet helps children understand the cycle of life and the importance of nurturing.5. Social Interaction: Pets can be a great conversation starter and can help people connect with others who share a love for animals.Cons of Keeping Pets:1. Financial Responsibility: Pets can be expensive to care for. Costs include food, veterinary care, grooming, and possibly boarding if you travel.2. Time Commitment: Pets require time and attention. They need to be fed, exercised, and groomed regularly, which can be challenging for those with busy schedules.3. Allergies: Some people are allergic to pet dander, which can cause respiratory issues and skin irritation.4. Damage and Mess: Pets can cause damage to furniture and household items. They may also create messes that need to be cleaned up regularly.5. Lifespan Consideration: Pets, particularly dogs and cats, have a shorter lifespan than humans. This means pet owners will have to face the emotional challenge of losing a beloved companion.Conclusion:While the decision to keep a pet is a personal one, it is important to weigh the benefits against the potential drawbacks. Pets can bring immeasurable joy and companionship, but they also come with responsibilities and challenges. It is crucial for potential pet owners to consider their lifestyle, financial situation, and personal health before bringing a pet into their home. Ultimately, the joy that pets bring can outweigh the cons for many pet owners, making the experience of pet ownership a rewarding one.。

关于养宠物赞成反对的英语作文Here is an English essay on the topic of whether to keep pets, with the content exceeding 1000 words as requested. The essay is written without a title and does not contain any unnecessary punctuation marks.Keeping pets can be a rewarding and enriching experience for many people. Pets can provide companionship, emotional support, and a sense of responsibility for their owners. However, there are also arguments against keeping pets, such as the potential financial and time commitments, as well as the ethical considerations of keeping animals in captivity. In this essay, we will explore both the pros and cons of keeping pets.One of the primary arguments in favor of keeping pets is the companionship and emotional support they can provide. Pets, particularly dogs and cats, can offer a sense of comfort and unconditional love that can be difficult to find elsewhere. For people who live alone or are dealing with mental health issues, a pet can be a valuable source of comfort and emotional support. Numerous studies have shown that interacting with pets can reduce stress, anxiety, and loneliness, and can even have a positive impact onphysical health by lowering blood pressure and heart rate.Additionally, caring for a pet can provide a sense of purpose and responsibility, especially for children or elderly individuals. Feeding, grooming, and playing with a pet can give people a sense of purpose and help them feel needed. This can be particularly beneficial for those who may be experiencing a lack of purpose or social isolation. Caring for a pet can also teach children important life skills, such as empathy, responsibility, and the importance of caring for another living being.Furthermore, pets can provide a valuable source of exercise and outdoor activity. Walking a dog, for example, can encourage owners to be more physically active and spend more time outdoors, which can have numerous health benefits. Interacting with pets can also be a great way to meet new people and build social connections, as pet owners often bond with others who share their love of animals.However, there are also valid arguments against keeping pets. One of the primary concerns is the financial and time commitment required to care for a pet properly. Pets require food, veterinary care, grooming, and other expenses that can add up quickly. Additionally, pets require a significant amount of time and attention, which can be challenging for people with busy lifestyles or limited resources.Another concern is the ethical considerations of keeping animals in captivity. While pets can provide companionship and emotional support, they are still living beings with their own needs and desires. Some argue that keeping pets is a form of animal exploitation and that it is unethical to confine animals to our homes and control their lives. This is particularly true for certain species, such as exotic animals or large animals that require a significant amount of space and specialized care.Furthermore, the issue of pet overpopulation is a significant concern. Millions of animals are euthanized in shelters each year due to a lack of available homes, and the breeding of pets can contribute to this problem. Some argue that instead of encouraging pet ownership, we should focus on adopting animals from shelters and rescues, or on supporting spay and neuter programs to reduce the number of unwanted animals.In conclusion, the decision to keep a pet is a complex one that requires careful consideration. While pets can provide valuable companionship, emotional support, and a sense of purpose, they also come with significant financial and time commitments, as well as ethical concerns.
