題目 Ｑuestions:

You have the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks.

Which country would you like to visit?

Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice

******

範文  sample: 

 Traveling the world is something I have dreamed about doing ever since I was a small child.  If I am ever given the chance to visit a country of my choosing, I will definitely go to Peru.  There are two main reasons why I feel this way, which I will explore in the following essay.

           To begin with, Peru is a land of unique landscapes and I believe that getting in touch with nature is the best way to enjoy a vacation.  Peru is unique because it contains a tropical rainforest, some of the highest mountains in the world and even pristine beaches. Not only that, but they are all within fairly close proximity to each other.  Few countries offer easier access to such a plethora of natural wonders. One similar country is the United States, which I visited about ten years ago. I remember that when I traveled across that country several years I was struck by how many different natural environments I was able to experience.  I felt that seeing such scenes helped me really get to know America. I am confident that I could have a similar experience in Peru, and since that country is much smaller I would have an easier and more affordable vacation.

           Secondly, Peru is attractive because it has an extremely varied national cuisine.  I have heard that Peruvian food has been influenced by quite a few sources, including Spanish settlers, local indigenous groups and recent immigrants from the rest of the planet.  Moreover, visitors to Peru can choose from several different dining venues, ranging from trendy modern restaurants to charming street vendors. I feel that eating the food of a place is another excellent way to really get in touch with a society.  I recall that when I traveled to Japan during my last summer vacation I felt connected to the Japanese people when I visited a local sushi restaurant. I am certain that I would enjoy a similar feeling dining in Peru which would make a vacation in that country very worthwhile.

題目 Question

"Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

People in today's world have become too dependent on automobiles.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer."

 .......

 範文   Sample 

Over the last few decades, as automobiles have become affordable for more and more people, cars have become a very controversial topic of discussion.  I am of the opinion that people in the modern world have become far too reliant on automobiles. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

           To begin with, many people have become disinterested in the amount of pollution that their vehicles create.  It is a well-known fact that automobiles are one of the biggest sources of deadly greenhouse gases, which are the main cause of global warming.  However, it seems that many individuals simply do not care about how much damage they do by driving their cars. For example, my uncle drives an extremely large sport utility vehicle to work every day, even though he commutes alone.  This vehicle is not energy efficient, and I think that he ought to take a carpool to his office instead of using it. When I asked him why he continues to drive such a harmful vehicle he responded that even though he is aware of how much fuel it uses, he does not care because of how happy it makes him feel to drive an expensive car.  This example demonstrates how neglectful many members of modern society have become as a consequence of their love of automobiles.

          Secondly, our current obsession with automobiles has caused public transportation systems to be neglected by government officials.  Because people are obsessed with their personal vehicles, governments have felt justified in failing to develop bus and rail networks.  My city, Toronto, is a compelling example of this. Despite being the largest city in Canada it has only two subway lines and just a handful of underdeveloped bus routes.  While this frustrates me quite a lot, most people simply do not care and, regretfully, the issue is never considered of even studied by our municipal government. If more people were to demand better public transportation, of course the government would snap into action and improve the local system. The fact that this has not happened makes it evident to me that our current dependence on automobiles has resulted in a lower quality of living for many people in Toronto.

           In conclusion, I strongly believe that people today are too dependent on automobiles.  This is because our love of driving has contributed to global warming, and because it has resulted in shoddy public transportation systems in major cities.

題目 Question:

"Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Grades encourage students to learn.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion."

*******

範文:

As modern education continues to develop, the usefulness of grades as a form of assessment has been called into question.  Personally, though, I believe that grades do encourage students to learn. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

          To begin with, grades motivate students to approach their studies in a deep and meaningful fashion.  When a student feels that his grades are on the line, he will spend more time working on his assignments and will therefore absorb more information and will achieve more comprehension.  On the other hand, students who do not have to worry about their grades will achieve merely a superficial understanding of the topics they are studying. My own experience as a student demonstrates convincing evidence of this. During my sophomore year I had to complete a major assignment in a political science class I was taking.  According to the course syllabus, the assignment would make up about half of my total grade in the class, so I approached my work with diligence and care. I wrote a compelling speech and spent hours preparing for every possible question my classmates could think of. If the presentation had not been graded, I would not have prepared so much for it.  Just like me, students all over the world today are motivated to work hard by the chance to achieve high grades from their professors.

題目 The Question

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

It is better to use printed material such as books and articles to do research than it is to use the Internet.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

******

 範文 Sample Essay

 It is critically important for students to use the best available resources when they conduct research.  In my opinion, it is far better to use printed materials than online sources. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

 To begin with, printed materials such as books and articles are more reliable than websites.  This is because websites can be edited by anyone in the world, regardless of whether or not they are qualified academics.  As a result of this, even articles in popular online encyclopedias often contain incorrect and biased information. My own experience demonstrates the danger of relying too heavily on web-based sources of information.  Two semesters ago, I was assigned a research paper in a freshman history class. I cited data that I found on Wikipedia which later turned out to be completely incorrect. This data was so hopelessly wrong that my professor spotted it immediately, causing me to fail the assignment and receive a fairly low grade in the class at the end of the semester.  If I had taken the time to compare what I had read online to a book or a scholarly article I would not have included it, and would not have received such a terrible score in the class.

Question 題目:

Some students prefer classes with frequent discussions between the professor and the students with almost no lectures.

Other students prefer classes with many lectures and almost no discussions.

Which do you prefer? 

..........................

範文 Sample:

 Every student has their own preferred learning style, and therefore it is impossible to accommodate all of them.  In my opinion, the best classes are those which include a lot of discussions. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

         To begin with, classes where we have the opportunity to speak help to develop our intellectual abilities.  Classes where the teacher does most of the talking are very passive, on the other hand, and do not help us grow academically.  They mostly involve the memorization of facts and details which do not help us in the long run. For example, I recently took a political science class that changed the way I think about the world.  The cut and thrust of debate in the class made me consider where my political beliefs came from and if they were even correct. I was required to listen to the opinions of others, so I was a more open-minded person after the class finished.  I believe that I would not have developed in such a way by just listening to lectures. This example demonstrates how valuable intellectual conversations can be.

         Secondly, classes that involve a lot of interactions can help students develop the skills necessary to work well in groups.  Many freshman students arrive at university very shy and unable to communicate well. Talking with their peers teaches students how to communicate effectively, and they can use this skill to excel in their future careers.  My older brother’s experience demonstrates that this is true. When he started university he was a very introverted person and did not enjoy collaborating with others. However, after four years of participating in debates, discussions and presentations in his classes he became a very confident public speaker.  As a result, when he began his career after graduation, he excelled in group work and was seen by his co-workers and supervisors as a natural leader. He was promoted quickly and advanced through the ranks of his company. Without participating in discussions with his professors and classmates he would not have developed the skills necessary to succeed in this way.

         In conclusion, I feel strongly that classes which are centered on discussions between professors and students are preferable to those in which the professor does all of the talking.  This is because these classes help students develop academically, and because they teach students the skills that they need to achieve success in the future.

題目 Question:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

“Overall, the widespread use of the internet has a mostly positive effect on life in today's world." Use reasons and details to support your opinion."

---------

 範文：

Most people agree that modern technology affects society in many different ways.  In my opinion, access to the Internet is enormously beneficial to both individuals and communities as a whole.  I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

           To begin with, online investigative reporting helps to expose political corruption and keep politicians honest.  In the past, there were only a limited number of news outlets, which often had deep connections to powerful politicians. As a result, they were extremely hesitant to criticize them. These days, however, there are many independent publications on the Internet that are willing to expose political misbehavior.  For example, an online magazine recently published a story revealing that the mayor of my hometown had taken bribes from a property developer. The report was so detailed and well-researched that the mayor had no choice but to resign. Although the evidence was not difficult to locate, only this independent website was willing to write about it.  This example demonstrates how the Internet helps to strengthen democracy in the modern world.

           Secondly, people are more motivated than ever to become politically active because they can freely exchange ideas online.  In countries all over the globe, people use social networking services to share their ideas and opinions. While in the past people might have thought that they were alone in their beliefs, today they realize that others share their ideas. My own experience demonstrates this concept.  When I was a university student, I learned that a municipal park near my apartment was going to be demolished to make room for a massive parking lot. This bothered me a lot because I enjoyed spending my free time in the park. At first I thought that there was nothing that I, as an individual, could do to stop this from happening.  However, I later joined a Facebook group dedicated to opposing the plan. When the members of the group learned how many people in the city loved the park we were happy to get together and enthusiastically protest in front of city hall until our voices were heard. I am convinced that finding each other on that social networking platform gave us the courage to actively protect our park.

           In conclusion, I strongly believe that the Internet has a positive effect on our lives.  This is because online journalism strengthens our democracy, and because social networking sites encourage people to be get involved in local politics. (411 words).
