1. Should We Help Strangers? 1. 有人认为帮助陌生人是一种美德; 2. 有人却认为帮助陌生人会给自己带来麻烦和危险; 3. 我认为…… 【范文】 Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of mankind. We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home. On the other hand, helping others can make us happy. We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a hand. However, some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers. They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated. Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know. Moreover, there are times when we have physical limitations. For instance, we can’t swim but a girl is drowning, what should we do? If we are blind to that limitation, giving a hand would conversely take our life. In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help those needed strangers. Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use our common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats. Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police.
2. Don’t Rely Too Much on Computers 1. 现在许多人越来越依赖电脑; 2. 过分依赖电脑会带来很多问题; 3. 我的看法 【范文1】 Do we rely too much on computers? Yes, we do. Almost everything we do and every aspect of our life is affected by modern technology with computers above all. We use computers in business, public services, education and entertainment. However, over-reliance on computer may give rise to some problems. One is that people are more likely to make spelling mistakes when they have to handwrite something. Another is that people are so dependent on computers that they have lost the ability to think for themselves. If “the computer says XYZ”, then XYZ must be true. If you want to make yourself an idiot, just tell him “that is what the computer said”. In my opinion, computers make our lives easier but we should never rely on them completely. These machines should be used as tool to aid work rather than the only tool. Otherwise, chaos can occur when suddenly our computers crash or what is worse, refuse to take our orders.
【范文2】 With the development of science and technology, computers have played an increasingly important role in our daily life. Computers make our life more convenient. We can not only finish our essays online, but also buy some daily commodities and play games online. However, it’s estimated that people spend more than three hours on surfing the internet. Now more and more people become weak and shortsighted. It is because they surf the Internet day and night but without rest. In addition, the reason why students rely on too much on computers is that they can find many reference materials online. So students become less independent in thinking for themselves now. All in all, we can’t live without computer, but we should try to go out to do some exercise with our friends. What’s more, it is time for us to finish our assignments independently instead of finding the reference answer online.
3. TV Talent Show 1. 有人赞成电视选秀节目 2. 有人则反对 3. 我的观点 【范文1】Over the past couple of years, a variety of talent shows have emerged on TV channel across our nation, from Happy Girls to Super Boys and so forth. This type of entertainment programs is intensely popular, especially among youngsters. It has produces profound impacts on their studies and life. They believe that the TV talent show can change their fate. At least, they say, the program offers the opportunity to show and develop one’s talents. On the contrary, a number of people hold negative attitude to TV talent shows. They maintain that The TV talent show today is like a fiver that has risen to its flood level. It misleads the youth and makes them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight. As a result, a great many students can’t calm down to study during the show’s season. For my part, I believe that the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword and it is important for us to face it properly. For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to offer more stimulating and favorable shows. For another, the media ought to give people proper guidance and refrain from exaggerating the effects of the show. 【范文2】 Recently, there is a public discussion about TV talent show. ,because many TV stations have all kinds of TV talent shows, such as Super Boy, Dream of China and so on. TV talent show makes a profound influence on our day-to-day life. Undoubtedly speaking, different people hold different attitudes toward TV talent show. On the one hand, a lot of people seem to think that TV talent show should be supported. The reason why they support it that it gives many people an opportunity to show their talent. And they will become famous for it in sometimes. On the other hand, others believe that TV talent show should be canceled, because many people insist that TV talent show is a speculation. It gives people a false impression that very person will be famous if they attend these shows. In addition, many young people idolize their idols. From my perspective, we should pay more attention to the advantage of TV talent show. Meanwhile, we might take some measures to avoid some negative effects of TV talent show.
4. Killing Time Indoors 1. 现在很多人业余时间喜欢“宅”在家里 2. 人们对这种做法有不同的看法 3. 我的看法 【范文】 Nowadays a growing number of people, especially the 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially during holidays. Some spend the majority of their 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 ways of killing time. A great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheaper, 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, with their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to spend more time outdoors. The fresh air, the brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with other people, etc. are all good for people’s health, both physically and psychologically.
5. Restrict Mobile Phone in Library 1. 现在有不少人在图书馆的阅览区里使用手机 2. 这一现象可能带来的影响 3. 我的看法 【范文】 As the number of students who have mobile phones increases, various problems also rise, along with its popularity. One of the problems that have aroused students’ attention is the use of mobile phone in the reading room of library. And this phenomenon has become so common that you can always see someone using mobile phone whenever you go into the library. There is no doubt that this behavior will have no good effect. On the one hand, students who use it can not concentrate on their own studies when they constantly send or receive messages. On the other hand, with the ringing of the phones and people’s talking over the phone, students around them may be distracted from their reading as well. Therefore, the proper way of using mobile phones in the library must be emphasized. First of all, whenever you enter the library, turn your mobile phone into the mode of silence or vibration so as to avoid the disturbance of other students. Second, if you do need to make a call or send or receive messages, you’d better go out of the reading room or at least try to reduce the volume of your sound and your phone’s sound.
6. My Opinion on Micro-blog 1． 目前越来越多人开起了“微博” 2．“微博”会带来一些问题 3. 我的看法 【范文】 With the improvement of micro-blog services and the influence of some “star bloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, micro-blog is becoming an important way for people to express themselves and communicate with others. Now, more and more people start to use micro-blog services. However, micro-blog might give rise to some problems as well. Some bloggers would express their thoughts and ideas by writing them down in the micro-blogs rather than communicate with their friends or family members. Day by day, blogs tend to draw people away from real life. What’s worse, lack of face-to-face communication with others might isolate bloggers from the society, which would do harm to their mental health. In my view, micro-blog is a good platform for people to show their personal experiences and communicate with others. However, micro-bloggers should adjust the item and avoid spending the whole day on blogging. After all, sitting in front of the cold screen of computer for long does no good to their health, physically and mentally. 7. Celebrities as Products’ Spokespersons 1. 现在明星为产品代言的现象很普遍 2. 明星代言存在的一些问题 2. 我的看法 【范文】 In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars to be spokesperson for a wide variety of products. On the Internet, television, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings, you may find celebrities in the advertising posters. There are some problems existing in celebrities’ endorsing products. In the first place, some stars may know nothing about the products but still accept the invitation as their spokesperson. To these stars, “Look before leap” is just a saying. In the second place, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities. They never care about consumers’ interests. In my view, as spokespersons, celebrities represent the products. They should understand that the products they are endorsing concern their images and consumers’ interests. Therefore, before endorsing products, they should learn about the products as much as possible. Only by doing so, can they be trusted by their fans and protect the legal rights of general public.
8. Spam Message 1. 目前垃圾短信泛滥 2. 这种现象产生的原因 3. 如何解决这个问题 【范文】 With the increasing use of cell phones, spam messages have become a heated issue. According to a survey, on average, people receive about 40 pieces of spam message per month. Spam messages may disturb, confuse, or even threaten people at any time. Generally, there are two reasons for the spam epidemic. On the one hand, due to the fact that text message is a comparatively cheap channel. Many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or services. Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected. On the other hand, operators, holding lots of information on cell phone users, sell the importance information and make money out of it. To solve the problem of spam message, relative authorities and professionals should make joint efforts. The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose users’ information. Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically. Should people act together, they will be free from the spam message.
9. Internet Slang 1） 近年来，网络语言在青少年中很流行； 2. 人们对这一现象的看法不同； 3. 我的看法是…… 【范文】 Internet slang such as CU (see you) and 3X (thanks), enjoy great popularity among teenagers nowadays. In fact, it has become so popular that many items now cross from computer-mediated communication to face-to-face communication. Some teenagers even use them in spoken communication as well as in essay writing. People have different opinions towards this phenomenon. Some people say that the crossover is a brand new variety of language evolving and will enrich the language. But others disagree, saying that these new words, being short form for the existing, long-used phrase, don’t “enrich” anything; they just shorten it. Furthermore, even if the slang such as CU and 3X and becomes common in spoken English, their total effect on language will be trivial. In my opinion, Internet slang has little effect on language in general, but will greatly influence individuals, especially teenagers’ language development. It is because overuse of Internet slang will lead to their poor writing, being lacks in spellings, grammar and proper punctuations. That will drastically reduce chances of employment after they graduate and seek jobs. So, for the sake of their future, teenagers had better refrain from Internet slang.
10. How to Relieve Stress 1. 现代人面临着各种压力 2. 人们减压的方法各异 3. 我的减压方法是…... 【范文1】 In today’s fast-paced world and with the booming economy, stress is our constant companion. We may face stress from our jobs, families, peers, etc. Though stress adds flavor and challenge to life, too much stress can seriously affect people’s physical and mental well-being, so it is necessary to handle stress properly. When it comes to reducing stress, people vary in their ways. Some people talk with someone, perhaps a friend or a family member, about their anxieties and worries. Others allow themselves a mental “get-away”: a quiet country scene painted mentally can divert them from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. There are also people who create a sense of peace by reading a good book. The effective way to relieve stress for me is different from those mentioned above. I have several relaxation techniques. For examples, when stress occurs, I would take a deep breath and exhale and if possible, I would take a warm bath. They prove to be very helpful. They help me to calm down my mind and improve my response.
【范文2】 Stress is an inevitable part in our life. Many kinds of big events, such as natural disasters, wars and death, can cause great stress. On a day-to-day basis, most people may be faced with stress, resulting from trivial things: taking an exam, waiting in a line, and having too many things to do within a limited time. Various ways can help people to reduce stress. Some people try physical activities which prove to be a great way of getting rid of pressure. For others, sparing time for fun, such as reading humorous books or listening to beautiful music, also helps to derive away bad moods. Still, a good cry can be an effective and healthy way to bring relief to one’s anxiety in a short time. As far as I am concerned, when stress does occur, it is important to recognize it and deal with it rather than escaping from it. My usual way to decrease stress would be practicing yoga, which helps me relax and it is good in keeping a very peaceful mind. And, I strongly oppose the negative ways such as taking sleeping pills, drinking heavily or fighting.
11. Is Military Training Necessary Now? 1. 有人认为现在的大学生军训没必要 2. 有人则认为有必要 3. 我认为…… 【范文1】 Whether military training is still necessary for freshmen has become a heated topic in China recently. Some people maintain that it is not and should be canceled. For one thing, military training is nothing but kind of torture, causing horrible sudden death time and again. For another, the training seems ineffective since most students resume their idling lifestyles at the end of the training. However, other people believe that military training is a must for today’s spoiled youth. First of all, it makes them more likely to persist instead of escaping in face of hardships. Second, the self-discipline and teamwork spirit students develop are invisibly valuable wealth for their future. Last but not least, it provides a good chance for students to learn more on military and broaden their horizons. Generally, I agree with those advocating for military training. However, I insist that some training programs should be modified or carried out carefully. For example, when trainees have to stand for hours in the hot sun, trainers and teachers should watch closely their physical conditions to prevent the tragedy of sudden death from happening. 【范文2】 Is it necessary for universities to hold military training for the freshmen now? Different people have different opinions. The opponents say it is a waste of time because what the students learn from it is of no use to their real life. Besides, they also worry about the safety due to the increasing cases of students who got injured or died in it. However, the supporters hold the view that the military training is very beneficial. They believe that it can nurture students’ sense of unity and discipline and foster students’ patriotism as well. What is more, the advocators regard the military training as a good chance for students coming from different cities to know and help each other, which will help them ease the feeling of homesickness. Personally, I think the military training is not a bad thing if effective measures are taken to avoid the potential risks involved in it. With careful consideration and preparation, it can not only have a good influence on students’ character, but also help students learn how to cooperate with other people.
12. Whom Do You Turn to When in Trouble? 1. 有人遇到困难时向同学、朋友求助 2.有人则向老师、家长求助 3.以你自己为例…… 【范文】 Just as the saying goes: life is not all roses, all of use will need someone else’s help to deal with problems that we may encounter in our life. Here comes the question: whom will you turn to for help? Some say they will ask their classmates or friends for help, because they are peers, thus they can understand each other easily. However, others have different choices when in trouble. They are inclined to tell their teachers and parents the difficulties they are faced with. In their opinion, teachers and parents, who are much older than them, can give them a hand with their rich experience. As for me, close friends are always the people who come to my mind firstly when I am intrigued by something that can not be solved by myself. If we can not figure out a solution by our joint effort, I will go to my teachers or parents for help. With their suggestions or instructions, I can finally find the best way to cope with my troubles.
13 On Self-employment of College Graduates 1. 政府加大了鼓励大学毕业生自主创业的力度； 2. 产生这一现象的原因； 3. 我的看法是…… 【范文】 Nowadays many college graduates set up their own companies with the fund from the government, which is part of the plans to help graduates to get employed. If graduates can put forward a creative and original plan, they will get the financial aid from the government. Our government is paying increasing attention to this program. There are many reasons responsible for this program. It is intended to stimulate college graduates’ creativity and relieve their pressure of employment. First, there has been an expansion in universities and colleges. As a result, the rate of unemployment is on the rise in recent years because of the competitive job market. Second, some graduate employees are not satisfied with their present jobs and their enthusiasm for work has been frustrated, so they can’t exhaust their potentials. Third, some brilliant and ambitious graduates are confronted with a shortage of start-up capital, so they find it hard to apply what they learn to practice, no matter how good their idea sounds. As far as I’m concerned, the program will not only offer opportunities to graduates but also bring back their confidence in themselves and in the future. An increasing number of graduates will benefit from this program. What is more, the development of each graduate will surely promote the development of the whole society in the long run.
14. Text Messages on TV Shows 1 目前各类电视节目广泛使用短信参与方式 2. 人们对此有不同的看法 3. 我认为……. 【范文】 At present, text messages are widely used in various TV shows. From serious news programs to different kinds of entertainment programs, we can always see some interactive sessions which all include the use of text messages, such as text-message voting in Super-girls and Happy boys. Is it good or bad? Some people hold the view that it provides a convenient and relatively cheaper way for audience to participate in the program. While others think it is nothing but a method which takes advantage of the public’s curiosity and their hope of winning awards to lure them into sending lots of messages that cost them a large amount of money. As far as I’m concerned, text message is an effective medium for the audience to interact with the TV shows, which can arouse people’s passion for watching the programs, and bring benefits to the TV station as well. But when we are enjoying the merit of it, we should also take the contents and objectives of the TV programs into consideration to ensure the quality of the TV shows.
15. Attending Your Classes Regularly 1. 大学生迟到、早退、旷课现象越来越普遍； 2. 保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性； 3. 作为大学生，我们应该…… 【范文1】 In recent years, with the admission expansion of colleges and universities, there exists a common phenomenon that an increasing number of students are late for or even absent from classes, and a few students even slip out of the classroom before the teacher end up the class. The class attendance is becoming one major problem waiting for immediate attention. There is no doubt that class attendance is of crucial importance to students’ development. In the first place, if students fail to attend the class timely, they will surely miss what the teacher adds to the textbook. In the second place, they demonstrate a lack of self-constraint which plays a vital part in their future. What is worse, they will definitely influence the smooth progress of the class, and his classmate fall victims to his violation of rule. As college students, we should bear in mind that “Well begun is half done” and “Habits make nature”. If we can develop a good habit and prevent ourselves from violating the rule, even the most trivial one, we will certainly strive straight toward the target we have in mind. We should learn to discipline ourselves on campus; otherwise we may suffer a lot in our work place in the near future. You might lose your job or opportunity if you were late.
【范文2】Attending Your Classes Regularly “Should we attend our classes regularly” is an unchanged topic in the university. It is universal that college students are eager to leave early and skip classes frequently. It’s because some students think the classes are so boring that they choose to skip classes. Others are busy in their own association activities, so they have to play truant. However it would give rise to a lot of problems. For instance, some students can’t pass the final exam for skipping classes frequently. What’s really matter is that they will miss plenty of professional courses which will play an important role in their future job. Taking from all the evidence into considerate, we can safety come to the conclusion that we can’t only study without participating in other association. But at the same time we should use our schedule flexibly to balance our academic and spare time. Otherwise teachers should put an emphasis on the improvement of their teaching style which can attract students to listen to their courses. Only in this way can school ensure students’ attendance. 【范文】 Nowadays, the phenomenon of university students being late for class, left class early and cut class has become a problem we have to face. This phenomenon is more and more common in college. And a number of students are accustomed to do it. Eventually, many students believed that university life is not perfect if you never miss class. A number of factors might contribute to the phenomenon. It is a high time that we put an end to the trend. It is important to pledge the attendance rate of students. The attendance rate of students is representing students’ learning attitude. A high attendance rate not only let students learning more knowledge but also gives some encouragement to teachers. It is beneficial for students to develop a good habit. As a college student, I had been late for class. Even though we have many reasons to do it. Obviously, it is a wrong behavior because it is bad for our study. Eventually, it wastes our time and money.
16. Campus Certificate Craze 1）大学生“考证热”成为潮流； 2）出现这种现象的原因； 3）你的看法是…… 【范文】 If you just stop student on campus and ask him what he is busy about, chances are that he will tell you he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Investigation points to the fact that it has become a new craze for university and college students to get more certificates. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon. To begin with, university and college students are faced with the pressure of finding a job after graduation. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to compete for the limited jobs posts. How could one be more competitive? More certificates will doubtlessly impress the employers, so the students are compelled to run from one exam to another. Besides, more and more universities and colleges modify their education training which includes several creative credits. If students fail to get such credits, they can not graduate. As a result, most students choose to pursue certificates. As far as I am concerned, the students should have a more rational attitude toward certificate, because such certificates do not necessarily represent one’s ability. For me, inner ability speaks louder than certificates, which can only be compared to appearance. Opportunities only arise when you are excellent enough in your field.

All in all, we should help the strangers. What’s more, it’s high time the authority took effective measure to establish a sound system to perfect the credit system. Only in this way can we live in a harmony society. I would like to meet you at your convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration. 22.

Many companies require candidates to have CET4 certificate or higher scores in the results of CET-4. So it is crucial for university graduates to pass the CET4 successfully. How to Succeed in Passing CET-4? It is no doubt that English level is very important factor. In addition, test-taking strategies are the key to succeed in passing CET4.We should get familiar with the general requirements and basic test-taking skills in Writing, reading, listening and other items. We should try our best to learn English and find the best way to get a high mark. Learning English really takes time so if we want to learn it well, we should spend much time practicing using English every day. Besides, we should listen to the teachers and take notes carefully in class. Go over what is learnt regularly and finish doing our homework carefully. If we have time, we'd better listen to English radio programs, read English stories and newspapers, watch English films and TV programmers, keep a diary in English. If we make mistakes, correct them at once and try not to make the same mistakes. What's more, we should look up new words in the dictionary before class and prepare each lesson carefully before class. I believe if we work hard and have good ways of learning English, we can pass the CET4, and get a high mark. Personally what I suggest is that，if you really what to succeed in passing CET4，you should，first of all，remember three very important words—confidence，determination and perseverance. That is，whatever we do，we should always believe in ourselves，and once we have made up our mind to do something，we should try our best to do it well.
