Some people believe that to maintain the cultural identity of a city, the government should build all the new buildings in a traditional way. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2006.12.9)

② Some people propose that all the new buildings in a city have to be constructed with a traditional style in order to represent the city’s cultural identity. ③ In my opinion, the practicability of the suggestion is quite questionable and thus I don’t agree with it.

① It can not be denied that those who made the proposal to build all new buildings in the old way have their reasons to a certain extent. ② Indeed, if the suggestion were to be implemented, some people might be attracted by the uniqueness and the cultural characteristics such a city presents.

① Although the practice may have its positive side, on no account should the problems related to it be ignored. ② Firstly, in terms of economic aspect, traditional buildings are obviously not as economical as modern ones. ③ Buildings in the past were mostly constructed with only one or two stories while modern ones are generally tall buildings with the capacity of holding more people. ④ Moreover, in terms of practicability, traditional styled buildings are obviously not suitable for modern people to live in. ⑤ For example, in China, quite a number of traditional buildings were quite big and usually had a very spacious yard, which few contemporary people actually need or are possibly able to afford. ⑥ Last but not least, all new buildings being built with the same style actually also gives people a pretty dull impression of a city.

①To conclude, the suggestion to build all new buildings in a traditional way is beneficial to enhance a city’s cultural identity. ② This only benefit, nevertheless, is immediately dwarfed by the problems it is likely to bring about. ③ So I reaffirm my conviction that the move is nothing but an unrealistic idea, which should never be implemented.

Most high level jobs in the government are done by men. Some people believe that the government should encourage a certain percentage of these jobs to be reserved for women. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

① Today, while more and more women are playing increasingly essential roles in modern society, it has to be noted that most high-level governmental jobs are still within men’s grasp. ② For this reason, some people propose that a certain percentage of such positions should be assigned to women.

① From some people’s point of view, the practice may sound reasonable based on the following reasons. ② First of all, it is beneficial for the women to bring their talents in certain fields into full play. ③ It is widely accepted that women are generally more careful, patient and gifted in certain field like arts compared with their male counterparts and preserving some governmental positions related to such fields for them seems to be a decent idea. ④ Moreover, the move could be regarded as a sign of equality between men and women, which indicates the women’s value has been realized.

① While the above reasons seem sounding, the negative side of the practice should never be overlooked. ② Firstly, the packed-schedule of a governmental top position is likely to make women become so busy with their job that their family lives are always neglected. ③ The fact that the majority of female top employees in the US government are either single or divorced serves as a convincing example. ④ More importantly, the practice also harms certain capable male candidates’ interests and it is likely to make women to be more dependent on such preferential policies.

① To sum up, it does bring benefits to the government if more women participate in certain fields of governmental positions. ② Such benefits, nevertheless, are based on the sacrifice of the women’s family lives and the interests of their male counterparts. ③ So I think it is acceptable

for the government to encourage women to commit themselves to some high level jobs, but on no account should we reserve them for women purposely. (306 words)

Some people believe that developing countries should concentrate on improving industrial skills. Some people argue that developing countries should promote education first. Discuss the both viewpoints and give your own opinion.

*At present, quite a number of developing countries always find themselves caught in a dilemma that whether they should regard the development of industrial skills or the promotion of education as their priority. ③ While it seems that both options have their reasons, I am in favor of the latter one personally.

① Apparently, those who advocate the development of industrial skills do have their reasons to a certain extent. ② They believe that compared with promoting education, laying stress on industry brings immediate economic return for developing countries more directly. ③ The improvement of industrial skills, nevertheless, is simply of short-term interests. ④ Without sufficient talents, how long such economic prosperity could last is quite questionable.

① While we have to admit that there is some element of truth in the above argument, the latter opinion, nevertheless, is more convincing to me. ② Indeed, education costs a lot instead of bringing immediate economic return. ③ The point should not be overlooked is that only by the promotion of education can we ensure the progress of the national strength in the long run. ④ A country that fully concentrates on the improvement of industrial skills, due to the lack of effective education, is likely to suffer from a huge lack of talents who have the ability to propel the society

further forward.

Some people think that it is the responsibility of government to ensure that people have healthy lifestyle by taking compulsory measures. Others think people should be given the full freedom to make their lifestyle decisions. Discuss the both viewpoints and give your own opinion. (2008.3.29)

② Some people hold that government should hold the full responsibility to make sure that people lead their lives in a healthy way. ③ Others, however, argue that it is only the people themselves that can decide which lifestyle they pursue.

① On one hand, the proposal sounds reasonable to a certain extent. ② If government does take ce rtain compulsory measures, for instance, banning all pubs and internet cafes in cities, it is possible that a number of people, especially teenagers who stay up late for parties or PC games, will have to discard their obsession and revert to a normal lifestyle. ③ Nevertheless, it has to be pointed out that although the practice seems to be sounding, it is unlikely to solve the problem thoroughly. ④ For example, even if all the pubs and internet cafes are officially banned, chances are that those young people will still indulge themselves in unhealthy lifestyles playing PC games or throwing parties till midnight at home.

① On the other hand, those who call for the freedom to choose their own lifestyles also have a point. ② Indeed, it would be a sign indicating that people’s freedom are fully recognized and respected if a government leaves the decision to people themselves. ③ However, it should not be ignored that some young people who do lack self-control are possibly to be fully obsessed with self-indulgent lifestyles if the government virtually does nothing about it. ④ Such excessive freedom would turn out to be nothing but a curse.

① From the above analysis, it could be noted that either viewpoint has obvious problems. ② In my opinion, the government needs to play a role in guiding people to live in a healthy way but it is never possible for the government to literally “ensure” that by taking compulsory measures. (292 words)
