Can people solve all problems by themselvesand have no need to ask help from government?
Some people argue that people can get helpfrom their family members. However, as far as I
am concerned, there are some importantproblems individuals cannot solve by themselves
and government’s help is necessary.
First and foremost, when people get hurtfrom other people or organizations, we need laws to
protect our legitimate rights andinterests. For example, if we are cheated by others or if we
buy fake goods, it will be useless for usto ask those bad guys to return the money back. The
best and the only measure we can take is toissue them. Government has many powers that
individuals never have. A lot of problemsare too complicated for individuals to deal with.
In addition, even if individuals can solvesome problems on their own, with the help of
government, they can solve the sameproblems better. For example, my neighbor Mr. Lee’s
father was diagnosed of cancer last year.In order to save his father’s life, he used up all of his
money. Even if he worked harder than ever,his family’s life was still rough. Nevertheless,
after the government granted him a loan, hecould afford the expenses of his father and the
family now. It is really a relief for him.The money is just piece of cake for government while
for Mr. Lee it can save his father’s lifeand the whole family.
Last but not least, some issues areimportant to everyone, but nobody wants to deal with them.
The public transportation and roads, forinstance, offer everyone convenience. Nonetheless,
nobody wants to cost money to build roadsbecause they could hardly profit from it and
prevent others to benefit from it. Onlygovernment can handle these kinds of issues. Public
health is another example to illustratethis point. When facing virus such as flu, individuals
are vulnerable if government takes nothingto prevent the epidemic situation.
To sum up, People cannot solve importantproblems by themselves or with the help from
their family members so it is necessary forthe government to help them. (362)
3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In order tocelebrate major events,
it’s better to organize a big party withlots of people than to have a small party where only
close friends and relatives areinvited.(110122CN=091113NA)
In people’s life, there are many majorevents, like the graduating party, the wedding
ceremony, the baby shower and so on. Whenit comes to celebrating these major events,
some people assert that it is better toorganize big parties with lots of people than to have a
small party that only close friends andrelatives are invited. However, based on an overall
consideration of various factors, I cannotagree with this statement.
It is undeniable that throwing a party thata lot of people attend is interesting and fun for
some people who prefer active environments.This kind of people are usually outgoing,
talkative and sophisticated. For them,holding a big party provides them with an opportunity
to let others share their happiness andmake more friends. They can be enabled to get to
know new friends and gradually become closewith the new friends. In this way, their social
networks are expanded and they can get helpfrom the extensive friends. For instance, if a
man invites plenty of people to his weddingceremony, his love and marriage can be
witnessed by a large number of people.Moreover, he can even make new friends through his
current friends, and thus enlarging hissocial circle.
However, organizing big parties with lotsof people is not beneficial and even can bring some
negative effects to some people, such ascelebrities. As is known to all that famous people
like movie stars seldom have any privacydue to the fact that the public pay too much
attention to their work and life. They arefollowed by entertainment reporters almost any time
and anywhere they go which really upsetthem. In such cases, it is preferable for them to
have a small party that only close friendsand relatives are invited because the less people
there are, the less likely that theirprivacy is exposed to the public. By doing so, they can feel
more comfortable and relaxed. And thisphenomenon is actually commonly seen among
famous actors.
From the analysis above, I cannot stand onthe side that it is better to organize a big party
with lots of people than have a small partythat only close friends and relatives are invited
when celebrating main events for the factthat it depends on the features of the hosts.
4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teaching isharder than it was in
the past.
5. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Improving schoolsis the most
important factor for the successfuldevelopment of a country.
6. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better totake a secure job
with a low pay than to take a job with ahigh pay but is easy to lose.
Job is an essential part of our normal lifeand it is a perpetual topic that is argued by any part
of society in any decade. Recently, it isheatedly discussed that people should choose a steady
job or a high salary but unsteady one.Different people have different ideas. Some people
prefer a steady job, because they feel atease need to worry about losing it. The others hold
the opinion that choosing a high salariesis much better, even though it is easy to lose. As for
as I am concerned, I don't think the formerjob is better than the latter one.
It is undeniable that a steady job is goodfor people to have a peace life. They just do what
they need to do. Though the salary is notas much as an unsteady one , they are still satisfied
with it. Because as we know some peopledon't want to experience much ,all they need is to
live happy and without any accidents.Therefore, a steady job is really a good choice.
Especially for the people who are notqualified or skillful or the people who are not very
ambitious. Maybe a steady job is muchsuitable for them.
Nevertheless, though a steady job has itsadvantage, I still think a high salary job which is
easy to lose is a better choice. For thefirst reason, a high salary job can help people enjoy
their life better. If they have more moneythey can make sure their children receive a good
education, it will be benefit for thechildren' s future. people who choose a high salaries job
also can guarantee their old parentsreceive a better medical treatment. They can buy big
houses, expensive cars and so on .Second,this kind of jobs are likely to be those that are
different to deal with. Therefore, the jobmust be a challenge for the people who choose it.
Not only can gain more money, but also helppeople have an opportunity to improve
themselves. Especially for the people who areeager to challenge themselves and full of
ambitions. They don't fear to lose the job,they just cherish the experience.
In a word, I firmly believe that a steadyjob is better than a high salary job which is easy to
lose ,because it depends on what kind ofthe job the people like and what kind of life they
want to live.
7. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Do you agree ordisagree with
the following statement? People who havelearned many different skills are more likely
to succeed than those who focus on learningonly one skill.
8. Should the government support artists or should artists supportthemselves?
Works of arts can do people much good likeoffering us visual pleasure and nurturing our
mind. However, the creation of the artusually cost a lot of money and the problem of who
should fund artists has triggered a debateamong the public. Some people claim thatthe
government should support artistsfinancially, while others hold that artists should support
themselves. I personally believe both thegovernment and artists themselves should be
responsible for the support.
The government should give artistsfinancial assistance because it is capable of offering the
help and artists contribute a lot to thesociety. Every citizen has to pay taxes to the
government, which is quite a large sum ofmoney. Taxes come from citizens and are
supposed to be used for citizens. In otherwords, the government should not only subsidize
schools and hospitals which directlybenefit citizens and but also subsidize those who
contribute to the society indirectly.Artists like painters create great works. When these
works are done, they are not just used asvisual feasts, they also enable us to learn
something about the creator’s thoughts. Forinstance, when you appreciate Van Gogh’s
series of Sunflowers paintings, you willfind that the paintings are not just paintings. They
reflect something about the author. Thelife span of sun flowers are relatively short, just like
Van Gogh, who died at s young age. However,the color of sun flowers is very bright, which
conveys a positive thought. His worksinspired many people.
Van Gogh’s death can be partly attributedto his poverty. Had the government given him
some support, he might have lived longerand created more masterpieces.
However, artists also have theresponsibility to support themselves. For one thing, there are
so many artists now and if the governmentsupports all of them, it would be such great
financial burden. The government could usethe money for more meaningful fields like
education and medicine. For another, someartists are able to make plenty of money and
they do not need extra government support.It was reported that some artists’ work worth
hundreds and thousands of dollars. If thegovernment gives those successful artists
financial support, it would be a greatloss.
From what I have discussed above, we cansee that the government should support some
talented artists whose careers are notprosperous. Nevertheless, for some artists who are
already living a good life, they cansupport themselves.
9. Which way do you think is the best for a student to make new friends. a. joining a sports
team, b. participate in communityactivities, c. traveling
It is probably true that we have hundredsor even thousands of acquaintances, but not all
of them can be considered to be ourfriends. With or without our full awareness, friends
must share a great portion of ourcharacter, our beliefs and our interests. An activity that
can help you make new friends surelyenables you to form a better understanding of other
people and vice versa. Thus, joining asports team would be my first choice.
To begin with, certain type of sportattracts people with certain character. Therefore your
chance of meeting a potential friend whiledoing it is high. For instance, people who love
Snooker are normally calm and steady;People who find themselves passionate for fishing
must enjoy the long waiting before thethrilling bite; And rock-climbers are usually strong
both physically and psychologically. If youlike this type of sport, you might like the person
who shares your interest as well.
In addition, sports provide us a goal tofight for. Hence they build up a precious experience
for the participants, which is essentialfor long-lasting friendship. I used to be in the
basketball team of our high school and Iplayed as the guard. Although it was almost five
years ago, I can still remember all theexiting moments when we won and the tears after we
lost the final. They are so vivid as if they just happenedyesterday. And although our team
members went to different universities, westill keep in touch with each other and hang out
together from time to time. Every time weget reunited, these important memories always
give us the feeling that we have never beenapart.
Furthermore, sports can help reveal thedeep truth of someone. Friendshipinnately
embodies a profound understanding that eachfriend has for the other. Undeniably, we
more or less put on some make-up on ourpersonality, for we all want other people to like
us. But those moments under high pressureor choices involving loss and gain will inevitably
reveal who we really are and what we trulybelieve. And such moments or choices are
never rare in sports. Would you cheat towin a game or rather loss it honestly? If your
fellow player has more chance than you toaccomplish a goal, will you pass the ball to him
or her? These situations always tell. As aresult, we can always see friendship built or
damaged.
To conclude, joining a sports team may neverfail your expectation to make some new
friends. It brings people together andaccelerates the process of understanding each other.
If you don’t have a favorite sport yet, dosome research to find one. If you already have
your answer, join a team and meet some newfellows there, maybe your best friend to be
has already been awaiting(475).
