政府投资：

1. Some people argue that the government should spend money on public

services and facilities, but not on the arts. Do you agree or disagree?

[Sample]:

The role of arts in modern life is unique, providing people with entertainment and yielding various psychological rewards, such as relief from stress. Despite these benefits, the arts have been taken as luxury goods in many cases. It is suggested that public money of a city should be concentrated in projects like public facilities, which are more likely to bring immediate benefits to the public, rather than the arts. There are a number of facts indicating that this position is right.

Public facilities, widely accepted as one of the main precursors to a city’s development, should be one of the highest priorities. Those underdeveloped cities in particular, should direct sufficient funding toward public facilities. While municipal office buildings, courthouses and post offices are essential components of public services, libraries, hospitals, parks, playing fields, gymnasiums and swimming pools are available to the public for social, educational, athletic and cultural activities. By boosting spending on public facilities, cities are more capable to satisfy the needs of citizens and improve their standard of living.

In addition to social benefits, there are economic merits that public facilities can offer to communities. An integrated transport network (maritime, land and inland waterways transport and civil aviation), for example, promises the smooth and speedy movement of goods and people in a city. Industrial products, as well as agricultural produce of a city, can be delivered to other cities in exchange for steady income. Of equal importance are public Internet facilities. It is no exaggeration to say that entrepreneurs, either from home or abroad, will first examine the infrastructure of a city before deciding whether to pursue business opportunities there.

The arts, by comparison, although enabling people to see the world and the human condition differently and to see a truth one might ignore before, do not merit government spending. The first reason is that the arts – referring to music, film and literature altogether – are more likely to attract the investment of the private sector than public facilities. Business people continue to invest in the arts in the expectation of earning lump sum income and the arts in return, continue to flourish without the government spending. Meanwhile, the arts are a key component of a culture and naturally passed down from one generation to another. Unlike public facilities, they require no money to survive.

It is therefore clear that construction of public facilities should be given the

foremost consideration. The concern about the well-being of individual citizens and that of a city is more acute than the apprehension about the survival and prospects of the arts, something that business have a stake in与…利害攸关.

1. 犯罪

1). Crimes can be prevented. 可以防止犯罪

A: It is believed that with the rising level of education there will be a decrease in the rate of crimes, as educated adults have more choices to make a living, reducing the possibility of illegal activities. Besides, by raising severity of punishment, would-be criminals can be deterred and give up their plan of breaking laws.

B: In fact, there are some occasions when crimes are committed emotionally and impulsively, which means that such kind of offence can by no means be prevented in advance.

2). Causes of anti-social behavior 反社会行为的原因

Antisocial behavior refers to acts that cause physical or psychological harm on people or property. Some examples of antisocial behavior include lying and being cruel to others, stealing from others and physical assaulting others.

Another theory states that drug use, smoking, alcoholism and poor nutrition during pregnancy are antecedents of child antisocial behavior. This theory

hypothesizes that it is poor health that is the cause and effect of antisocial behavior.

Scientists who believe this also believe that parenting style, child characteristics and personality traits and quality of life at home and at school are all contributing

factors to antisocial behavior. Scientists therefore believe that antisocial values and behavior develop later in life.

Psychologists and sociologists believe that peer pressure may play a role in a child developing antisocial behavior: if a child's friends are likely to engage in antisocial behavior and later brag about it, then the child is far more likely to engage in such behaviors later in life. The child and his friends begin mutually

reinforcing such antisocial behavior and values. This also may go hand in hand with the belief that a poor or inattentive parenting style often influences such behavior and beliefs.

The other reason for the increase in the amount of such behavior is due to the rising jobless rate.

2. 教育

1). Major subjects Vs Minor subjects

A: It is quite understandable that some educators attach great importance to science subjects, as they believe that knowledge related to these subjects is the foundation of the world, from everyday basic calculation to sophisticated biology experiments.

B: In fact, so-called minor subjects provide students with an escape from their brain-consuming thinking and calculating. Interest in science and technology is not universal, which means that students who are gifted in art or sport should be given the chance to maximize their potentials.

2). Competition Vs Cooperation 竞争与合作

A: Learning to compete against others drives children to think independently and find solutions to various problems. Once they begin to have their own

thoughts, they are able to stand out by proposing creative ideas or debating with others.

B: It is common sense that there are many occasions when one person is not able to accomplish a challenging task on his/her own. In other words,

understanding the importance of cooperation from an early age is necessary, as children can find less difficult ways to tackle problems by teaming up with others.

3. 社会

1). Reasons for widening wealth gap

First of all, the widening wealth gap is related to economic transition. Since the economic structure of many countries has shifted from manufacturing to the

knowledge-based economy, high-educated manpower is demanded. Businessmen, professionals and managers who are high educated are then able to leverage their

knowledge and talent into their respective aspect to develop their own careers. As a result, they are able to have a foreseeable sparkling career future and become wealthy. Workers who are low skilled and low educated, on the other hand, have to face cut throat competition with their elite counterparts.

Businessmen, professionals and managers can accumulate their wealth easily when the financial market is in bloom. Low income earners, however, are unable to enjoy the economic fruit when the financial market prospers since they have little capital to invest. As a result, ironically, indeed the wealth gap between the rich and the poor is widened when the economy prospers.

2). Advantages and disadvantages of multicultural community 多文化社区的优劣

A. Communication between different cultures stimulates emergence of new thoughts (可以考虑艺术的创作). Different kinds of food, clothes and holiday celebration add colors to life.

B. Due to the difference between cultures, residents of a mixed community are very likely to offend each other before they could realize it. Original inhabitants may feel annoyed as their traditional cultures are being eroded by foreign cultures, making it more possible for extreme protesting actions.

4. 科技

Old-fashioned ways will be replaced by high-tech products.

Web-based education 网络教育

The strength of technology has been beyond people’s imagination.Interactive activities 互动活动

Time-saving

Labor-saving 节省劳动力

Effort-saving

Education is not restricted to learning basic knowledge and skills, but it also includes developing communicating skills.

Web-based education is vulnerable to various technical problems. Once the internet connection fails to work, it is impossible to continue with the courses.Be subject to

5. Uniforms 校服

The question of whether to require students to wear uniforms has long been a subject of heated debate. Students are often vehemently opposed to the idea on the grounds that their freedom of expression would be limited. Proponents say uniforms improve school safety, student behavior and social interaction.
