I think people shouldn’t belittle small things. Instead,
people should take small things seriously. Just as the old
saying goes, “A journey of thousands of miles may not be
achieved without accumulation of each single step, just as
the enormous ocean may not be formed without gathering every
brook or stream.”
5. 话题:教育有回报(2012.12)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to
write a short essay entitled Education Pays based on the
statistics provided in the chart below (Unemployment rate in
2010). Please give a brief description of the chart first and
then make comments on it. You should write at least 120 words
but no more than 180 words.
Education Pays
As is shown in the bar chart, in 2010, the unemployment
rate of people possessing doctoral degree is 1.9%, which is
the lowest, and on the contrary, the unemployment rate of
更多电子书资料请搜索「书行天下」:http://www.sxpdf.com
people with less than a high school diploma is the highest
which is up to 14.9%. Additionally, we can discover that the
higher the education level is, the lower the unemployment
rate is. Obviously, the bar chart powerfully demonstrates a
fact: Education pays.
It’s not difficult to explain the phenomenon—people
with higher education level acquire more advanced knowledge
and professional skills, become more competitive among their
coworkers, and eventually secure a more stable job. However,
people without high degree are easily dismissed because their
jobs are easy and can be carried out by many other people.
Under the environment of fierce competition, the
recruitment requirements of enterprises become even stricter,
and the advantage of good education background becomes
highlightened. So, as university students, we should grasp as
much knowledge and learn as many skills as we can and prepare
ourselves for the future careers.

三、 、 真题
话题:成功需要坚强的意志(2011.12)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to
write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a
Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting
smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I’ve done it
hundreds of times.” You should write at least 120 words but
no more than 180 words.
Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
It is known to us all that where there is a will, there
is a way. A person can probably accomplish nothing without a
strong will. We can’t deny that sometimes people can reach a
goal by playing tricks; however, that definitely won’t last
long.
People with strong wills cannot be defeated by
difficulties easily and they will never give up until they
succeed. Take Nobel, the inventor of explosive, as an
example, before inventing explosive he took thousands of
explosion experiments. We can name quite a lot of famous
people like Nobel, but we can also list some people like the
“smoking quitters”. To them, making a plan is so easy as
they don’t have to keep it. Therefore, they will never
realize it.

To sum up, a strong will is an important character people
should cultivate since it plays a key role in people’s
success. The resolute make resolutions once and for all; the
irresolute keep making resolutions all for once. To be the
winner, try to be the resolute.

1. 话题:过度包装(2012.6)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to
write a short essay entitled On Excessive Packaging following
the outline given below. You should write at least 120 words
but no more than 180 words.
1. 目前 存 过度包装的现
2. 出现这一现 的原
3. 我对这一现 的看法 议
On Excessive Packaging
Nowadays, excessive packaging has become a widespread
phenomenon in our society. We can find many goods, especially
food, wrapped in appealing boxes, such as tea, mooncakes and
wine. Many reasons contribute to the emergence of this
phenomenon, but generally speaking, they come down to the
following two.
On the one hand, with the development of society and
economy, the competition in the market is fiercer than ever
before. To earn more profits, many manufacturers pack their
products excessively, through which to stimulate the
customers’ purchasing desire. On the other hand, quite a few
customers who judge the goods by their packages hold the
thought that the more beautiful the package seems the higher
更多电子书资料请搜索「书行天下」:http://www.sxpdf.com
the quality will be. The idea has in turn encouraged the
trend of excessive packaging.
As far as I am concerned, excessive packaging is a
harmful phenomenon, which is a waste of resources and ought
to be totally wiped out. First, laws and regulations should
be made to forbid excessive packaging. Furthermore,
consumers’ awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal
to high quality should be aroused.
2. 话题:网上购物(2011.6)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to
write a short essay entitled Online Shopping. You should
write at least 120 words following the outline given below.
1. 现 网上 已成为一种 尚
2. 网上 有 , 也有不少问题
3. 我的 议
Online Shopping
With the development of technology, online shopping
becomes a fashionable trend in our life. Then, why do people
like online shopping?
One of the reasons is that it brings people convenience.
People don’t have to waste a lot of time and energy going
from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like.
The commodities people order will be delivered to them
promptly. Moreover, in most occasions, the items sold online
更多电子书资料请搜索「书行天下」:http://www.sxpdf.com
are cheaper than those in the conventional store, which is
attractive to most people.
However, shopping on the Internet also has its
disadvantages. For one thing, consumers can ’t see the goods
or try them on personally. Sometimes, the commodity people
receive is not the same as it looks on the computer. For
another, some shops on the Internet are not registered. They
will never deliver anything to you after they get the money
from you.
It is undeniable that shopping on the Internet has become
an irresistible trend in modern society. It’s of great
urgency that we should enforce relative laws in accordance
with the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way
can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping
without worrying about being cheated.

How Should Parents Help Children to Be
Independent?
Nowadays, parents tend to be overprotective and try doing
everything for their children, which is harmful to the growth
更多电子书资料请搜索「书行天下」:http://www.sxpdf.com
of the children. It is of great importance for the parents to
help their children to become independent.
Some parents believe that the children are too young to
face the complicated world on their own, thus taking on
everything on their behalf. They love their children so
blindly that they ignore the importance of independence in
their children’s life.
In order to help the children to be independent, parents
should take the following measures. To start with, parents
should give their children chances to experience hardship, by
which the children will enhance the capability to overcome
it. Secondly, when the children really need help parents
ought to provide useful suggestions and assistance, teaching
the children the correct way to deal with problems. Last but
not least, parents must encourage their children to make
their own decisions. By this way, the children will become
confident and able to confront any difficulties in their
future life.
4. 话题:博物馆免费开放(2009.6)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to
write a short essay entitled Free Admission to Museums. You
should write at least 120 words following the outline given
below in Chinese:
1. 越 越 的博 馆 费 放的目的 什么;
2. 也会带 一些问题;
3. 的看法。

Free Admission to Museums
The purposes for more museums becoming free of charge are
multifold and the benefits are in abundance. On the one hand,
they offer chances of exposure to the public, conveying the
culture and civilization of human being throughout the
history. On the other hand, the life for citizens is well
enriched and their horizon is well enlarged.
Problems and downsides, of course, also exist. Firstly,
it brings huge pressure on and difficulty in protecting the
historical sites, which increases the government budget and
the social burden. Secondly, the failure to control the
everyday number of visitors makes the museums crowded and
noisy, contributing to low-quality observing.
I, however, fully support the practice that museums open
to the public for free and I suggest that they should be well
managed so the benefits could be well ensured and the side
effects could be diminished. Therefore, to make it more
productive, both the museums and the public should work and
coordinate in concert.
