Should We

Embrace Indoorsy Lifestyle? With

the

globalization

of

modern

technology, especially the world-wide access to Internet service, people’s lifestyle has been greatly influenced. Some enjoy indoorsy lifestyle. They hold that indoorsy lifestyle is time-saving and peaceful. In contrast, those against the idea claim that keep an indoorsy lifestyle will do harm to people both psychologically and physically.

As far as I am concerned, modern technology is a double-edged sword. If we consider it as a useful tool to improve our life, it will certainly bring unprecedented convenience to us. With the assistance of the Internet, one

- can save his time through working, shopping, or communicating with others at home. Also, solitude isn’t always equal to loneliness. Free from outside interruption, one can be creative and keep his mind sharp. On the other hand, too much reliance on or indulgence in the Internet will certainly have an impact on our normal life and work. For instance, indulging in social network online may corrode peoples’ social skills. To be specific, they may feel lost when talking with people face-to-face, which may affect their normal relationship with family members and friends. What’s worse, sitting in front of a computer all day long means little outdoor activities, which may damage one’s health.

In conclusion, while enjoying all the benefits the virtual world has brought to us, indoorsy people should also step out of their home and engage themselves in the real world. 押题3

Curbing the Craze for Government Posts

Our society is experiencing a craze for the Civil

Servant

Exam

in

recent

years,

which makes becoming a civil servant a popular mindset in society. Two opposite voices emerge, providing

different

views

on

career

planning. Some think the government post should be pursued, for it provides an appealing job with stability, fine income, secure welfare yet relatively moderate workload. Others are against the zealous pursuit of government posts because it is not as favorable as it was before. As far as I am concerned, university graduates should not pursue government posts zealously. Firstly, career planning should be based on one’s ambition and specialty rather than some short-sighted interests like the stability of a job. Graduates are young; they are in a crucial period of striving for a better future. And the government also needs loyal and responsible employees instead of those who only seek for self-interests. Secondly, stable as it is, the government post lacks creativity and freshness.

Besides, some

positions have less

mobility and prospect of promotion, and the salary is on the average level, not so encouraging compared with that in some private sectors. Thirdly,

the conception

of

equating

a

government post with success is apt to mislead graduates to choose government positions even irrelevant to their majors, causing the waste of human resources.

In conclusion, university graduates should pursue the government posts in a proper

- manner. The stability and welfare of a job are important, but they should not be the only elements we take into account.

押题4 乘客可以在地铁上吃喝吗？ 题目要求

Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your views on the issue.

Should Passengers Eat and Drink on Subways?

In recent years, eating and drinking on subways has been found more and more common, which has triggered many problems. Thus, some cities forbid passengers doing this and violators will be fined. Along with this new regulation comes a raging debate where two opposite attitudes have been shown. Some believe that eating and drinking doesn’t have direct relation to the safety of the subway operation and does not violate any laws and regulations. Others

- -总结.

-

want to curb this behavior so as to make the public environment clean and tidy.

As far as I am concerned, eating and drinking on the subway is indeed not a proper behavior, but it is also not reasonable to deprive citizens of that right. On the one hand, eating and drinking on the subway should be discouraged. The government should attach more importance to educating citizens and appeal for cultivated and eco-friendly behavior on public transportation. Announcement and posters could be used to encourage people to create a better environment. On the other hand, it is every citizen’s legal right to eat and no one can deprive them of that. With regard to the pregnant, the elderly, the sick and the weak, the government can allocate special room for them to eat and drink inside the subway.

In conclusion, the behavior of eating and drinking on subways should be discouraged, but the right of certain people should be protected.

Should Young Criminals Be Treated in the Same Way as Adults by Authorities?

In recent years, the rate of juvenile delinquency keeps on soaring, which has attracted lots of attention from the general public and the social scientists. Accordingly, whether young lawbreakers should be punished equally as adult criminals has become one of the most controversial issues throughout the world. Some people claim that the lighter sentences will neither minimize the number of crimes committed by the teenagers nor make the victims believe in equal justice, while others hold the view that what sanctions will be employed should be decided by taking the criminals’ age, motivation and future development into consideration.

My stand is that this is never a purely black and white issue. Whether the same penalty should be imposed on juvenile lawbreakers and adult criminals is on the basis of the specific case. On the one hand, those who commit violent crimes, such as rape or murder, should be treated in the same way regardless of the criminals’ age so as to ensure the justice and equality. On the other hand, if teenagers embark on the criminal road because of negligence, passion and induction, a lighter penalty can help them reflect on themselves as well as give them a chance to turn over a new life.

All in all, it is a hasty approach to simply impose the same penalties on young criminals as adults and judges should be more discreet about the punishment on juvenile criminals. 一、对比选择型
