2018英语二作文英文回答：In the intricate tapestry of life, we are constantly confronted with choices that shape our destinies. From the mundane to the momentous, every decision we make has the potential to alter our course. Some choices are easy, requiring little deliberation, while others weigh heavily upon our minds, demanding careful consideration. It is in these weighty decisions that the true measure of our character is revealed.Like a ship's captain navigating treacherous waters, we must chart a path that leads us towards our desired destination. This requires not only a clear understanding of our goals but also the wisdom to discern the best course of action. In the face of uncertainty, we may seek guidance from others, consult our own experiences, or simply follow our instincts. However, the ultimate responsibility for our choices lies solely with us.Embarking on this journey of decision-making, we must be prepared to embrace both the elation of success and the sting of failure. Every choice we make carries with it the potential for both positive and negative consequences. It is in grappling with these uncertainties that we grow and evolve as individuals. We learn from our mistakes, celebrate our triumphs, and ultimately, forge a path that is uniquely our own.Along the way, we may encounter obstacles that test our resolve. These challenges have the power to either break us or make us stronger. It is in the face of adversity that our true character is revealed. Do we succumb to despair, or do we rise to the occasion with courage and determination? The choices we make in these moments define who we are and the legacy we leave behind.As we navigate the complexities of life, it is important to remember that we are not alone. We are surrounded by family, friends, and mentors who offer support and guidancealong the way. By embracing their wisdom and sharing our own experiences, we can create a community that fosters growth and empowers us to make the best decisions we can.In the end, there is no right or wrong path in life. The choices we make are not merely destinations but also journeys in themselves. It is through the act of choosing that we discover who we are and what we are capable of. As we continue to navigate the countless choices that life presents, let us do so with wisdom, courage, and a unwavering belief in ourselves.中文回答：在人生错综复杂的织锦中，我们不断面临塑造我们命运的选择。

Which do you think is good practice.One of the topics in daily life is whether or not the older people should live with their adult children. My answer is the question is that it is better for them not to.Firstly, people of different ages have different ways of life. The old people like a quiet, peaceful and regular life whereas the young prefer noises, activities and unrestrained enjoyment. If they live together, old may feel that they are always disturbed and the young may feel that they are often handicapped.Secondly, people of different generations have different views and values. What is quite normal to the parents may seem to be old-fashioned or wrong to the children. When they live together, they may disagree on matters ranging from minor domestic matters to national and international issues. Consequently, family life may be unpleasant or even unbearable to both the old and the young.Last but not the least, adult children, like their parents, love independence and freedom, but their parents still take them as children and unintentionally interfere in their affairs. The situation will be worse if the adult children are already married. In this case, the children have。

2018年二卷英文作文英文：In my opinion, learning a foreign language is very important. There are several reasons why I believe this.Firstly, learning a foreign language can broaden one's horizons. It allows us to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds, and to gain a better understanding of their customs and traditions. For example, if I were to learn Chinese, I could better understand the culture and customs of China, and be able to communicate more effectively with Chinese people.Secondly, knowing a foreign language can also improve one's career prospects. In today's globalized world, many companies operate internationally, and being able to speak a second language can be a valuable asset. For instance, if I were to learn Spanish, I could potentially work for a company that does business in Latin America, and be able tocommunicate with Spanish-speaking clients and colleagues.Finally, learning a foreign language can also be a fun and rewarding experience. It can challenge us and give us a sense of accomplishment when we are able to communicate in a new language. For example, if I were to learn French, I could travel to France and be able to speak with locals in their native language, which would be a very rewarding experience.中文：在我看来，学习一门外语非常重要。

2018年2月1日雅思写作机经预测1.12.Some people think that success in life comes from hard work and determination, while others think that there are more important factors such as money and appearance. Discuss both views and give your opinion.Some people think success in life comes from hard work and determination, but others think there are more important factors like money and appearance. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.It goes beyond any doubt that being successful is important in people’s life. Some people associate it with hard work and determination, while others believe that success lies in other factors like money and appearance. Personally, both sides of the issue should be taken into consideration.Some people claim that determination and hard work are significant for people wanting success in life as those with strong determination are inclined to set high goals in their study or work and devote themselves to achieving these targets. With such determination, they are more self-disciplined and self-motivated than those who have less desire for success, that is to say, those people are more likely to be hard-working. And when facing hardships and setbacks, determined people are manifestly more courage and are more willing to endeavor to overcome the barriers, since they cannot put up with failure.However, others insist that success in life comes from other more significant factors, such as money and appearance. There is no denying that earning money would directly contribute to personal success, particularly in a material world, where income is consideredto be the key criterion to evaluate a person’s career development. Besides, good looks are possible for people to enjoy more convenience in their work, which is commonly regarded as success. For instance, eye-catching people can find a suitable job more easily or get promotion quickly.To sum up, determination and hard work give people advantages in terms of coping with challenges on their way to success, while people should also be aware of the other factors, especially money and appearance, which may show them how successful theyare or lead them to success more readily.2.14.Some people think that adults can learn practical skills such as computer skills by themselves, but others suggest that theyshould learn it from a teacher in a classroom. Discuss both sides andgive your own opinions.A life's study is considered to be much more important than ever before. For most of us, we only learn and study in schools, butthe everlastingly changing world requires us to keep a habit of learning all the time, such as different kinds of practical skills, to confront thelife challenge. Here comes a heated debate whether adult should learn by themselves or choose turning to a teacher in classroom. As for me, self-learning and teaching both can’t be ignored.On the one hand, self-learning is much more available for most adults for the simple reason that it demands less time from those who are always under the great pressure of work and family. People can squeeze any time he/she can in daily life for a short learning. Reading a chapter of the textbook during the break will make it easier to finish a heavy one within a week. By contrast, taking to courses, night course for example, usually occupies a lot of time after work, which are supposed to be used for relaxing or family time. Moreover, it is the affluent resources online that enable self-learning for adults more possible and practical. There are massive numbers of courses on some well-known video websites, cooking, gardening, language smoothingto name a few, which can drag users into any online classroom forsomething news.One the other side, self-learning online may arouse some questions, such as it can’t help people solve professional problems unless turning to the real teacher. Besides, it also takes courage, persistence as well as self-controlling for people to learn by themselves online, because there are a great number of temptations through hyperlink all around and it is easy for us to digress from what we are intended to do.All in all, teachers can help us to solve professional problems and a class will create a sound learning atmosphere, but the lifestyleof most of the adult makes it impossible to attending a long term anda time class. The best method is to balance the two ways.3.9.ublic museums and art galleries are not needed because people could see historical objects and works by using computers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?It is simply absurd to assert that with historical objects and works of art being able to be seen through a computer, public museums and art galleries will no longer be needed.First of all, computers can never replace real public museums and art galleries. No matter how real and vivid computer images are,they are only images, not the historical objects and works of art that we see in real or even might be allowed to touch with our fingertips.For those who claim museums and galleries are no longer needed because they can see all they want to on a computer screen, I’d like to suggest that they marry a wife or husband in the computer rather than in real life!In the second place, visiting real museums and art galleries is a rewarding experience in many respects. For one thing, it is a good exercise. While we are making the trip to a museum or art gallery and then strolling about on site, we get some exercise which does a lot of good to our health. For another thing, we can feast our eyes on all kinds of things there and experience the wonder, beauty and exquisite workmanship with our own eyes in an active way instead of in a passive manner by looking at what are being displayed to us by others on the screen. For yet another thing, we protect our eyesight by moving away from the computer screen and see the real objects on site.It is true that computers have brought great conveniences to our life. At certain times, especially when it is temporarily impossible for us to visit museums and art galleries in person, we can get a rough picture of what are on display on site. However, what we see from a computer screen is, after all, not exactly the same as what we see and feel with our own eyes on site.In conclusion, computers will never be able to replace real public museums and art galleries. Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that one does not need to go to museums and art galleries as historical objects and works of art can be appreciated on a computer screen.。
