预测一：大学生奢侈品College Students and Luxuries1. 现在不少大学生都拥有奢侈品2. 大学生获得奢侈品的途径有……3. 我认为……【范文】College Students and LuxuriesWalking on the campus, you’ll find luxuries are not far away for students. Some wear CK clothes and some carry LV bags. According to an online survey conducted by Tencent in May this year, there are 37 percent students claiming to have a certain luxury.On the basis of the survey, the way of obtaining luxuries is quite different. Some students get them from their parents, as their families are in good financial condition. Some take part-time jobs to buy luxuries by themselves. For example, a college student named Xiao Mei said she worked as a tutor for three months in order to get a bottle of Dior perfume. Some receive luxuries as a gift from their friends or relatives.As for me, I object to students’ using luxuries. It is known that luxuries are notable for their super prices. However, students are not economically independent and their attention should be paid to study. In this sense, using luxuries is improper for students.预测二：想象力On the Importance of Imagination1. 有人说想象力很重要2. 也有人觉得想象力无关紧要3. 我认为……【范文】On the Importance of ImaginationImagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through the senses. As to the attitude towards imagination, it varies from person to person. Some people think that imagination is good for many things. First, imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind. Secondly, imagination has a great role and value in each one’s life.However, some people hold a negative view on it. They think it does not matter whether you have imagination or not. First, imagination is not practical, which makes people daydreamers. Second, people sometimes do not have to be imaginative in life or work. If they follow the step-by-step schedule, they also would succeed. In their eyes, imagination is a creative power but it is not necessary to achieve success in any field.As I am concerned, I think we should recognize the importance of the power of the imagination, maintain, and develop our imagination as time steps. Understanding how to use your imagination correctly will put you on the golden path to success, satisfaction, and happiness.预测三：专业排名My View on Major Ranking1. 当今社会，专业排名很流行2. 各人看法不同3. 我自己的观点【范文】My View on Major RankingIn recent years, it is very popular to rank majors. Major ranking lists based on a variety of criteria can be found on some educational websites or newspapers. These lists have great influence on students and many of them have come to rely on these lists to make their major-choice decisions.To this phenomenon, people’s opinions vary from each other. Some think that the results of the ranking are helpful for high school students to choose a major field of study, e.g., some lists tell people what majorswill lead to decent jobs after graduation. Some people, however, believe that many lists are actually useless. Rankings are only about numbers and they do not tell you anything about the distinct nature of the major. Besides, some majors may be listed as hot majors when students enter colleges, but will be unpopular when they graduate.As far as I’m concerned, we should not over-stress major ranking. It should be remembered that rankings can play a big role in the selection of a major but it should not be the only criterion. Many factors including your own perception of the major should matter in your final choice. 预测四：人口老龄化Aging of the Population1. 我国人口老龄化现象日趋明显2. 人口老龄化带来的问题3. 如何妥善解决人口老龄化问题【范文】Aging of the PopulationPopulation officials and demographers have much to worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion of people aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century, people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population — that means one out of every four people will be senior!The aging population poses a serious challenge to families and the society. On the one hand, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline in working force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to some extent.The rapidity of the population’s aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. There is no doubt that the key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What’s more, family care and community-based services should also be encouraged.预测五：社会道德滑坡Decline in Morals1. 现在社会道德滑坡现象严重，比如……2. 我认为应该如何改变这一现状【范文】Decline in MoralsIn modern society, the decline in morals is becoming more and more severe. For example, there have been a few cases in which a senior woman pretended to have fallen over and then blackmailed the person who tried to help her. There was also another case where a little girl was hit by a car and no passers-by gave her a hand.To solve this problem, we need first to find out the reasons. For one, the fast pace of modern society is driving people apart from each other, thus people are losing the patience to care for others. For another, with technology developing, it’s much easier for people to know what is happening in the world today. In order to draw people’s attention, some media would lay stress on negative news and overemphasize the negative effects.To reestablish social morals, we must work together. People should learn to care for the others, while the media should treat negative news more properly.预测六：宅生活1. 现在有不少人业余时间喜欢“宅”在家里2. 人们对这种做法有不同看法3. 我的看法【范文】Killing Time IndoorsNowadays a growing number of people, especially the 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially on holidays. Some spend the majority of the time online chatting, blogging, shopping, dating or playing computer games. Some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen, day and night.People’s opinions vary when it comes to this way of killing time.A great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheap, comfortable, and most importantly, very safe. Others, however, frown upon staying indoors for too long. They are worried that lack of physical exercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to people’s body and mind.Personally, I don’t think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated. Instead, people in all ages, their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to spend more time outdoors. The brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with other people, etc. are all good for people’s health, both physically and psychologically.预测七：大四空巢1. 目前许多大学校园里出现“大四空巢”现象2. 出现这一现象的原?因3. 我对这一现象的看法和建议【范文】On the Senior Empty NestsFor most senior students in universities, the last academic year has nothing to do with academics. To the frustration of professors, few courses are attended by students. And dorms are almost vacant with few lodgers. This kind of phenomenon, which has been called “Senior Empty Nests”, is common among universities of China.Where have those absent senior students gone? Some lucky dogs have gone to their new jobs while the majority are still striving to get a job or engaging in their internship outside of the campus. The severe employment pressure has pushed senior students into employment market earlier. The anxiety of getting a job before graduation disturbs the restless mind of every student, which leads to skipping school of most students.In my view, with senior students leaving campus earlier, their time of education has been reduced, which puts them in a disadvantaged position in the employment market. Students should start job hunting after finishing the courses of the last academic year. At the same time, the universities should provide career education for senior students.预测八：网络媒体1. 网络媒体的出现在很大程度上影响了传统媒体的存在2. 有人认为网络媒体会取代传统媒体，理由是……3. 我的看法【范文】Will Internet Media Replace Traditional Media?Suppose you are going to spend a whole month in a remote island and you are allowed to bring only one thing with you, what are you going to bring? If you are smart enough, you should bring a laptop with WIFI. Actually, for the young generation, a computer with access to the internet can be everything that traditional media may stand for and even more than that.The Internet is so penetrating in people’s lives that many people believe it will replace the traditional mass media in the near future. In their eyes, with internet, you can watch TV programs, listen to music and sing, make friends and talk to your friends, read news and books, receive and send mails, make comments about things, and even do shopping. Whatever a traditional media can serve you, it works for you better.In my opinion, internet media does bring great convenience to people’s lives, reducing time and cost for people who want to be informed of the world news. However, no matter how all-mighty internet is, some traditional media are worthy to be kept. For example, paper newspapers and books are better for sight while radio is more portable than a computer.预测九：性教育1. 现在人们越来越重视性教育2. 开展性教育的意义3. 家庭、学校、社会应该怎么做【范文】Sex EducationChina has long been considered a conservative country where people try to avoid talking about sex, especially to children. But things have started to change as people attach more importance to sex education. Now an increasing number of schools begin to offer sex education to students.Sex education, especially at an earlier age, is vital for children’s growth. First, sex education provides children with the information they need to understand their bodies and gender roles in positive ways. Second, it boosts the likelihood that teens delay having sex. Third, it helps to prevent unwanted consequences such as premature pregnancy, HIV infection or AIDS.To launch sex education correctly, parents, schools and the whole society should make joint efforts. At home, instead of telling the children that they were picked up on the street, parents should answer children’s questions honestly. In schools, especially high schools, sex education needs to go further, focusing, explicitly if possible, on safe sex. As for the society, it should lift taboo on sex and provide more channels for children to learn about sex.预测十：创新能力1. 现今社会越来越注重创新能力2. 创新能力不等同于创造能力3. 为了创造能力我们应该……【范文】Enhance Our Creative AbilityAmong various aspects of the quality education implemented in China, building the innovative capability of students is highly emphasized. The reason behind is that it is the basis for creative ability. And either innovative capability or creative ability is crucial for the effective learning of everybody and for their further developments in life.To begin with, we should make clear of the conception of innovative capability. It means your ability to do things in a new, original, or advanced way. It is different from creative ability, but the two are interrelated. And there are many misconceptions about creativity. Creativity, which is no holy gift that some people have and others do not, is only a thought that is new to an individual. And all of us have different creativity capabilities.However, creative ability is not born with us and it can’t improve unless we take efforts. There are some tips to enhance your creative abilities. First, be open-minded to ideas. Secondly, pose new questions to yourself every day. Thirdly, engage in creative hobbies. And finally, and most importantly, have courage and build self-confidence.预测十一：研究生热Graduate Craze1. 现在许多人热衷于考研究生2. 其目的各不相同3. 在我看来……【范文】Graduate CrazeA growing number of college students and even people from all walks of life take part in the National Graduate Entrance Examination nowadays. According to an official statistics, in the year 2011 alone, there were more than 1.4 million applicants sitting for the exam. It seems to be a craze for postgraduate study.People have different purposes in trying to go to the graduate school. First, the majority of candidates try to get into graduate school due to the employment pressure, as a bachelor’s degree is no longer evaluated as a sufficient qualification to ensure a decent job nowadays. Second, some people, though employed for years, find their knowledge inadequate to meet the demand of this ever-developing society. Naturally, they turn to postgraduate study. Third, some people see postgraduate study as a fashion and follow suit.In my opinion, it is advisable to pursue postgraduate study under the present condition of lowEmployment rate and high demands on talents. And I have every reason to believe that more people will struggle to study in the graduate school and the craze for graduate study will last for years.预测十二：假日经济Holiday Economy1.“假日经济”对人们来说，已不再陌生2. 面对“假日经?济”的热潮，人们态度各异3. 在我看来…【范文】Holiday EconomyHoliday economy is not new to people all around the world. In China, it stands for the nationwide one-week holiday starting from October 1st (the National Day). The government established the week-long holiday back in 1999 to stimulate domestic spending. Tour operators, retailers, and wedding halls have been cashing in ever since..However, there are shifting perspectives about holiday economy. Many people, including some economists, think positively about holiday economy. They believe that tourism-based holiday economy has increased consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands. While others, who worry about the negative effect of holiday economy, argue that holiday economy do more harm than good. For example, during the extended holiday, scenic spots are overloaded with tourists, and it not only spoils the relaxing mood of the tourists, but also overburdens the tourist attractions.In my opinion, both sides are reasonable. We should take good advantages of the holiday to develop economy while trying to tackle the problems existed with practical measures. Only in this way can we not only enjoy the pleasure golden week endows us, but also promote the development of holiday economy soundly.预测十三：成功与汗水The Way to SuccessDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Honore De Balzac’s famous remark, “There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【范文】The Way to SuccessThere are many ways to success, such as hard working, passion or good preparations. From Honore De Balzac’s famous remark, “There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power”, we can see that the way to success is having a strong will.A strong will is essential if we want to achieve our goals. Initially, every success involves several stages of setbacks and risks, and we need to summon up our will to overcome them. Moreover, there are enormous temptations in our path of the pursuit of success. Only with a strong will can we resist the temptation, and persist in chasing our goals until we reach them.The long history of human being has also proved that only those with a strong will can achieve success at last. We are all familiar with Thomas Edison’s story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up. Without a strong will, Edison might have been a nobody. Without a strong will, no one can succeed. 预测十四：逆境On Adversity1. 每个人都会碰到逆境2. 人们对逆境的看法不同3. 我的看法【范文】On AdversityEveryone meets setbacks and fiustratians In life, and each tries hard to avoid them, only to find tbat they’re just like your own shadow accompanying you all your lives. The truth is，adversity can exert great influence on you, depending on how you deal with it.When confronted with adversity, different people make different response. Some people consider it a stumbling block on the road to success, and get depressed and even sink into despair; others consider it tlbe stairway to great accomplishments and try to overcome it with constant struggle. The latter, therefore, will recognize their disadvantages from their temporary defeat, draw lessons from it, and grow stronger each time they have coped witb a difficulty.In my opinion, adversity often leads to prosperity. Painful and depressing as it is, overcoming adversity endows us with great confidence that is crucial to achieve success. Great people are not born successful, they are great only because they have tempered their personality and remedied their deficiencies through experiencing countless adversity and defeat, which is actually a goddess of blessing in disguise.预测十五：垃圾分类Waste Sorting1. 目前垃圾分类不是很普遍2. 忽视垃圾分类会带来哪些影响3. 我们应该…Waste sorting is not a popular convention in our country, though it should be. Garbage bins filled with all sorts of recyclable and non—recyclable wastes mixed together are seen everywhere. People still haven’t formed the habit of sorting wastes.The neglect of waste sorting will bring about a series of problems. First of all, it causes a mass of waste of resources that could have been recycled or reused. Secondly, the growing amount of mixed rubbish will take up a lot of space in the landfill site, which will worsen the land shortage problem. Last but not least, it will increase the cost of waste treatment.Waste sorting should be advocated, no matter from the perspective of economy or environment. Everyone should do their best by starting fromdaily life. More importantly, more campaigns for waste sorting should be conducted to raise the public awareness.预测十六：求职Should Graduates Spend Much on Job Hunting?1. 目前大学生在求职上花的钱越来越多2. 人们对此看法不一3. 我的看法Should Graduates Spend Much on Job Hunting?Nowadays college graduates spend more and more money on job hunting. According to a recent survey, almost every graduate spends some money on finding a job. And clothing, transportation, resumes producing and training expense are the main aspects that cost them a lot of money.As to this phenomenon, different people have different views. Some say it is necessary for graduates to spend money in producing embellished resumes and buying suitable clothes, which can give interviewers a good impression and increase their chance of success. However, others don’t think so. They argue that the high expenditure can increase their parents’ financial burden since most students have no regular income. Apart from that, the decorated resumes do little help to find a job because most HR managers pay more attention to skills.In my opinion, there is nothing wrong for graduates to invest some money on job hunting. But they should bear in mind that it is their knowledge, skills as well as experience that matter a lot. So they must have a rational attitude toward what they should buy and how much money they should spend.预测十七：沉迷网络游戏Addiction to Internet Games1. 越来越多的青少年沉迷于网络游戏2. 由此可能带来的问题3. 我的看法Addiction to Internet GamesEvery afternoon during the summer vacation, hundreds of thousands of teenagers pour into Internet bars. They switch on a computer, and indulge themselves in a fantasy world playing games such as World of Warcraft and Counter Strike.As everyone knows, playing Internet games can do much harm to teenagers if they spend too much time in the virtual world. Firstly, it is an enormous waste of time and teens will have little time for their study. Secondly, those who play video games day and night will be harmed physically for lack of adequate sleep. Thirdly, teenagers’ social ties will suffer as a result of the immersion in the virtual world.In my opinion, the whole society should pay more attention to this problem, especially the parents and the game industry. Besides, the youth shouldn’t spend too much time, energy or money on the Internet because study is their priority. In conclusion, the youth should make good and proper use of the Internet.预测十八：人际关系On Students’ Interpersonal Relationship1. 目前许多大学生处理不好人际关系2. 出现这种现象的原?因3. 我的看法On Students’ Interpersonal RelationshipPositive interpersonal relationships are vital for optimal human growth and development. However, in recent years, educators have expressed their concern about the ability of interpersonal relationship among students in institutions of higher education. According to a surveyconducted by Hebei University, many college-age students regard interpersonal relationship as the biggest headache.Increasing diversity and rapid changes in our society make interacting with others more and more complex and difficult. With limited life experiences and social skills, college students face more challenges in dealing with interpersonal relationship. This is especially true for students coming from rural areas. Because of the lack of social skills, they are often rejected by others — and rejection gives them even fewer chances to learn how to interact with others.In my opinion, now that interpersonal relationship is important to students’ development, colleges should offer courses about comprehensive interpersonal relationships. The course should address the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors involved in participating in positive relationships in the family and with individuals at school, in the community and in the workplace.预测十九：传统文化On the Losing of Traditional Culture.1. 现在许多传统文化正慢慢消失2. 传统文化消失的原因3. 我的看法On the Losing of Traditional CultureIt is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture. If the fund used to protect the ancient culturewas instead delivered to the poor, it will be helpful to the improvement of their living standard. Thirdly, modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot. For instance, college students always collect their thesis materials by surfing the Internet instead of borrowing books from the library.In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn’t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.预测二十：礼仪教育How to Enhance Etiquette Education?1. 礼仪教育很重要2. 现在许多大学生都不懂礼仪3. 为加强礼仪教育，家长和学校应该……How to Enhance Etiquette Education?Etiquette education, which plays an important role in moral education, has caught more and more people’s attention. Because it is an integral part of quality-oriented education and contributes to the construction of a harmonious society.However, due to the lack of etiquette education in schools and families as well as the bad influence of the social environment, many college students have little knowledge of etiquette, thus it is quite common to see their bad behaviors. For example, they have no respect for their professors and the old, they talk to each other loudly in the library and don’t care about what they should wear in public places.Regarding the seriousness of this phenomenon, I think we should take the following measures to arouse university students’ etiquette awareness. First, parents should set a good example for their children at home. Second, colleges should pay attention to students’ etiquetteeducation and open some courses relating to etiquette, and they ought to try their best to create a good campus environment at the same time. 预测二十一：微博1. 目前微博很流行2. 微博流行的原因3. 可能存在的问题On the Popularity of MicroblogWith the improvement of microblog services and the influence of some “star microbloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, microblog is becoming an important and convenient way for people to express their opinions and communicate with others. Now, more and more people start to use microblog services provided by different websites.However, microblog might give rise to some problems as well. Some microbloggers may become so dependent on microblogs that they would rather express their thoughts and feelings by writing them down in the microblog than communicate with family members or friends. Day by day, microblogs tend to draw them away from their real life. What’s worse, lack of face-to-face communication with others might isolate microbloggers from the society, which would do harm to their mental health.In my view, microblog is a good platform for people to share their personal experiences and communicate with others. But microbloggers should also have a rational attitude toward it and avoid spending too much time on it. After all, sitting in front of the cold screen for a long period of time does no good to their health.预测二十二：传统文化On the Losing of Traditional Culture1. 现在许多传统文化正慢慢消失2. 传统文化消失的原因3. 我的看法On the Losing of Traditional CultureIt is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along with the development of technology.

It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.预测二十三：虚假新闻False News Reports1. 目前虚假新闻屡见不鲜2. 出现这种现象的原因3. 应如何杜绝这种现象【范文】False News ReportsIt’s not uncommon that some journalists make up false or misleading stories about celebrities, illnesses, crimes, etc. Take celebrities for example. The death of the famous writer Jin Yong appeared in several news reports recently, which proved to be false.People may wonder why so many journalists cook up false stories. More often than not, the reason is all about personal interests. Mostjournalists create misleading news in order to draw public attention so as to make themselves more popular or to win certain prizes. To achieve these goals, they try to get something out of nothing and rumour about famous figures regardless of those people’s privacy.Now, it’s high time for China’s journalism supervisory bodies to deal with the false news reports. They should take stringent measures to prevent all possible false news. For instance, journalists who are found to manipulate news should be severely punished and could be banned from news writing for ten years or more.预测二十四：啃老族1. 目前中国出现了“啃老族”现象2. 这种现象产生的原因3. 为应对这一现象我认为…?…?注：NEET是Not in Education, Employment or Training的缩略语，即我们所说的“啃老族”。
