第一篇:雅思考試優秀作文:是否禁煙?
Version 122 Some people claim that using tobacco has brought severe social problems and smoking should be banned.To what extent do you agree with the
above statement?
Introduction(56 words)
Since the discovery of tobacco related to a number of health problems, an increasing number of people have called for prohibiting smoking.It is undeniable that still a considerable amount of smokers exist in this world.I would like to examine the advantages and disadvantages of smoking cigarettes as following and then offer my own opinion.Body1(95words)
There are some advantages to taking tobacco.(topic sentence)First, tobacco industry contributes a great proportion of revenue to the nation.Extremely high taxation imposed on tobacco yielding and cigarette manufacturing has released the financial burden for both the government and the individual taxpayer generation by generation.Second, the soothing effects of smoking has been confirmed by ordinary smokers;particularly those who have hard-brain-working jobs are in favor of it;they claim that smoking cigarettes can make them calm and stimulate brain cells to work more efficiently.Finally, cigarettes play an important role in social activities.Body2(106words)
On the other hand, smoking demonstrates numerous negative effects.(topic sentence)Initially, nicotine may bring takers a number of diseases.Second-hand smoking also does harm to your health.Moreover, hatred from non-smokers always grow against smokers hence some conflicts arise frequently.We then look at the statistics showing that thousands of fire accidents worldwide occur each year due to the litter of non-extinguished cigarette ends, not to mention the related deaths and losses.Last but not least, expenses have to be taken /into/ consideration.Fine cigarettes are not cheap.If you get addicted to them, your daily amount of cigarette consumption will increase inevitably, emptying your pocket money.Conclusion(88words)
After all, so far no direct evidence has been provided that smoking can definitely result in takers' death of lung cancer, and those fire accidents are the result of carelessness or irresponsibility of the smokers, not tobacco to be laid blames.Also, spending pocket money can never be considered as a financial burden.In addition, I suggest more restricted smoking areas be planned so as not to violate non-smokers' rights.After weighing the pros and cons of using tobacco, I, for one, am against the act to ban smoking.聲明:本范文為賴老師專供無憂雅思作品,轉載請注明作者和出處!范文僅供參考,切不可背誦,否則可能得非常低的分數,甚至0分。

2.作為一名員工,為本飯店的發展提建議
Dear General Manager,As a staff of Sales Department, I’m very glad to see the rapid development of our hotel.With the coming of New Year, I am writing to you to pre I think more on the further improvement of our hotel—to establish a website of our own to attract more clients.Firstly, with the development of Internet, more and more people are willing to go to the outside world through the information on Internet.Thus if we could establish our own website and introduce ourselves on it, more friends, especially foreign friends, could know our latest promotion at home whenever they want.Secondly, according to the statistics of World Hotel Association, 33% of clients made hotel reservation through the Internet last year.And the proportion will largely increase in year 2000.Thus if we could introduce reservation system on our homepage, clients
could contact us and make reservation directly.Finally, hotel promotion on Internet could reduce our operation cost greatly.As someone says that Internet shorten the distance of the world, I believe that the one who could make use of Internet effectively today will be the winner tomorrow.We will get a lot and have a brilliant future.Yours sincerely,Livia Lim
3.用納稅人的錢修路,改善交通狀況
To construct and maintain roads is a public service administered by the government.However,swheresdoes the money come from? Somebody believe that the government should allocate money from national finance on the road construction;but others think that the roads are constructed for people, so every tax-payer has the responsibility for constructing and maintaining the roads.It is so called“What is taken from the people is used in the interests of the people.”
To the first opinion, since government is the administrative organ, it has
responsibility to do overall plan on those public services of city construction, including constructing the road.They think that the government should do plan and allocate every penny on all things concerning people’s life.However in reality, the government cannot do all specific plans and money allocations on every detail concerning the society running.It only has the right of macro-adjustment and control.To be specific on the road construction, many people believe that based on the principle above, since the road is constructed for the
convenience of people themselves, every tax-payer has duty to devote a little on the road construction, which is not only for the city overall plan, but also for their own use fundamentally.Once the constructions finish, the roads will be wider and longer, the facilities along the roads will be better in use, by then people could further improve their working efficiency, etc..As I know, the second opinion is more reasonable and feasible, because it has two advantages: 1.The government could reduce heavy burdens, simplify and make clear the usage of money;2.Tax-payers are clear about the usage of money they turn over, thus improve the transparency.Therefore, it is a good measure for both sides to allocate money from the tax paid by people on the road construction.4.遺失信----財物遺失在民航班機上,寫信給機場海關請求幫助

5.有人給學校捐款,建議如何使用。
Dear President, November 11, 1999
I'm very happy to hear that a famous author has donated considerable money to our institute.And I think we could use it to establish an education fund to aid our teachers to study abroad.Firstly, teachers could increase their teaching level and enrich their knowledge by studying aboard.For teachers of a language institute, this kind of experience is really necessary.Teachers would consider that as a kind of prize and therefore work harder for that.Secondly, our institute could be benefited from doing that.Since we could provide the overseas-studying chance for our teachers, graduates with high score in the Normal Colleges are more willing to come to our institute.Thirdly, that will help our students.Our last year's survey showed that 65% of our students prefer the language teachers who had overseas-studying experience.In a word, I think that using the donated fund to assist our teachers to study abroad is a good way to promote the healthy development of our institute.Please take good consideration of my advice.Thanks!
Yours sincerely,Livia Liu

8.給小孩零用錢的利與弊(Pocket Money)
With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions become much more comfortable.But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children's needs in all-round.One method to solve this ontradiction is to give children some pocket money.Pocket money is useful to children.But whether the children are considerable enough to make correct use of these money.There are two viewpoints about the pocket money.Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious.Others think that will not lead to such disadvantage.In my opinion,both of them are partially reasonable.Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages.With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like.It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange.Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money.Others insist that there are undoubtedly some disadvantages in spending pocket money.First, young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents.Some parents cosset their children, and always give them a large amount of pocket money.Such conditions will make children become more and more prodigal.Second, since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines.Judging these two viewpoints above-mentioned, I think that parents should give their children a limited amount of pocket money.There are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be finite;the parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them;for a costly merchandise, parents themselves should take children to buy it.With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.9.父母是否應該花更多的時間同子女在一起
In China, both of the parents have their jobs.With the development of economy, people tend to pursue high quality living conditions.Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children.In my point of view, no matter how busy they are, they should make the best use of their time to stay with their children.First, the love between children and adults will be improved by spending more time on their children.Children could feel parents' affection through the genial conversation and sharing their pleasure with them.Every time when parents take them to amusement park, help them to prepare their birthday parties, applaud for them when they are competing in the sports meeting, the time they spend with children will become treasure in their memories.Second, children need the direction from their parents.There are some wrong behaviors in our society such as dishonesty, corruption, violence and eroticism and so on.Children have weak resistance in defending this detrimental influence.In this case, parents' instructions seem to be very important to children's growth.Parents should sit down and talk with them about what they should do and should not do.In addition, if parents often spend time in staying with their children, adults' good behaviors will greatly influence their children.Here I do not deny that there are some disadvantages in spending too much time on children.Some parents restrict their children, and give them little freedom to develop their interests.Therefore, I emphasize that parents should educate and instruct their children appropriately in their spare time apart from their busy works.10.你因病住院,寫表揚信,表揚醫護人員的醫德,服務,環境衛生
Dear Sir:
I am a business man from America, and my name is David Smith.Last month it was the first time that I traveled to Beijing for business, signing a contract with a Chinese food company.Unfortunately I got a bad flu and then had a fever.I was sent to your hospital.Because my temperature was nearly 40 degree centigrade, I was asked to be in hospital.I worried about my business and the delay of signing the contact will lead to great losses to my company.However, After the doctors' careful treatment and
nurses' patient care, I was recovered only in 4 days.I completed the negotiation with the food company smoothly and signed the contract on time finally.So I sincerely appreciate all the staffs in your hospital who helped me full-heatedly.I was deeply impressed by the kind doctors and nurses, the pleasant and comfortable environment, and considerate services.I have no relatives and friends in Beijing, but I felt at home in your hospital.I will always remember all those warmhearted persons and your hospital in my heart.Best wishes to you all!
Sincerely yours,David Smith
11.Children learn best by observing the behavior of adults and copying it.The Process of growing up is very complex for children.Among countless factors that influence children's growth, the behavior of adults plays a significant role in shaping children's inclination and character.After the baby is born, the first and the nearest adults are his/her parents.Although the baby is just slur pronunciation, the little baby has started to learn from their parents by observing and copying the adults' talk.This learning environment is important for the babies.There is a special case reported by the press.A baby was abandoned when she was born.A sow fed her as a piglet.When she was about eight years old, some villagers found her, her intelligence was just similar to the two-year old baby and all of her behaviors were looked like a pig.From this case, we know child is a “mirror” which will reflect the behavior of the closet adults.Along with the children's growth, adults will influence them much more, such as logical thinking, making decision, cooperation with others, etc..The behavior of adults can give children both good and bad influence.Most of the behaviors represent adults' inclination.For instance, if media report chiefly on the shadow side of the society, children will easily incline to violence and excessive sex.Therefore, they will be infected with bad mental state.Behavior is a direct and convincing method to teach children.Things are easier said than done.Parents always tell children those principles repeatedly, but most children can not accept it through these boring method.Adults' behavior is the most effective education method to let them observe the whole process of how to deal with the problems.The children will learn from you naturally.Children are like young trees, they need to be carefully irrigated, fertilized and trimmed.Your behavior will be greatly helpful to shape themsintosuseful talents.12.Zoos are sometimes seen as necessary but poor alternative to a natural environment.Is it necessary to keep animals in zoos?
In the modern society, zoos are almost indispensable places in large cities for people to visit.In some large zoos, there are various animals from space to sea, and from primitive invertebrates to advanced and intelligent mammals.In the zoos, all animals, including those rare animals, such as panda, Africa elephant, and North-East tiger, could enjoy good care and protection away from any hurt.However, along with the stronger natural environmental protection consciousness, many people think that to put animalssintossmall cages will change their living instincts, and therefore break the ecological balance.Viewed from the basic relations between animals and human beings, animals should have the equal freedom with human beings.They are all forms of life.Animals have their own living instinct, and it is this instinct that forms the biological chain of the Earth.This relation is called “Ecological Balance” academically.For example, insect-bird-snake.If most birds in a region are killed and lockedsintoscages by human beings, the pests will eat out all crops, and snakes will lose a large part of food(bird)-resources, therefore leading to starvation and death.This opinion sounds ideal theoretically.However in reality, human beings and other animals cannot stay together peacefully on the Earth.Because of human beings' lust for fortune, many valuable animals are killed or sold, especially those endangered species.Therefore, zoos appear as an active way for people to protect those poor animals.First, this is an action not only for animals but also for human being itself.Once the biological chain is broken, human beings will be punished inevitably.Next, zoos can serve a purpose of educating and entertaining people, narrowing the distance between human beings and animals.Last, zoos can be a scientific study center to rescue more endangered spices and make animals better serve people's need.The key point of this topic is freedom or protection.In my opinion, those two aspects can be unified.It is necessary to keep animals in zoos for the purpose of protection, teaching and study.Let's think it further, the purpose of all these actions is to make animals live happier, therefore, maintain the ecological balance, hence protect our own living environment.

【簡介】:Somepeoplepreferplanningforthefuturewhileothersarguethatweshouldfocusonthepresent.Whatisyouropinion?Givereasonsforyouranswerandincludeanyrelevantexamp
文 章 來 源 自 3 e du教 育網Some people prefer planning for the future while others argue that we should focus on the present.What is your opinion? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.真題大意:有人認為應該計劃將來,也有人認為重點就是現在。你同意哪一種想法? 請說出你的道理,并卻從個人的知識或經驗中,舉出例子來證明。
Example Writing:
The present is where everything begins and there is no time like the present.Without being prisoners of the past, winners prefer working in the changing present toward the unpredictable future.The trouble with some people is that they are planning only for the unforeseeable time to nete and not facing the reality now.Paradoxically, the future is now.It is more realistic to regard life as an awareness of the present rather than a prediction beyond knowledge.Since the future is anybody's guess, “one today is worth two tomorrows,” to quote Benjamin Franklin.Therefore, the way we live and the way we work ought to keep in step with the present leading to the future.The logic may be that we can only learn from the past, and on the other hand the future does not affect us now as much as does the present.It also makes sense that the way to plan tomorrow is to enjoy living and working as wisely and beautifully today as possible.Our argument for focusing on today may as well be based on the fact that the present does not sit still for a portrait, but is changing constantly.Change being the law of life, concentrating our mind on what is happening in the present is probably more true to life than dreaming of the future.It means that life for us today is always beneting and never being.Obviously, today has its own problems to be solved, so there is no need to be over troubled about the future.Accordingly, it is better not to foresee the future but be
concerned about taking care of the present.It is one thing to prefer planning for the future, but it is quite another to control the change that follows soon enough.Focusing on the present is more important than merely planning for the future because right now is one of the moments we are influencing our future.Practically, we should see the future in the present which carries more weight in real life.It stands to reason that the future actually begins now.
第五篇:公共場所是否應該全面禁煙的辯論
公共場所是否應該全面禁煙的辯論
常言道“飯后一根煙,快活賽神仙”。在我國,煙草多年來一直保持著七個“世界第一”:煙葉種植面積第一;煙葉收購量第一;卷煙產量第一;卷煙消費量第一;吸煙人數世界第一;煙草利稅第一;死于吸煙相關疾病人數第一。據衛生部公布的數據顯示,我國目前煙民已達
3.5億,“被動”煙民5.4億,其中15歲以下兒童有1.8億。進入2000年以來,中國每年死于吸煙相關疾病約100萬人,是全球死亡人數的五分之一。一根小小的香煙給全世界乃至全人類帶來了歷史性的難題,這么多觸目驚心的世界第一使得禁煙問題備受關注。正方觀點:公共場所應該全面禁煙
辯手一觀點:公共場所應當全面禁煙,原因是,接觸煙草煙霧會導致死亡疾病和殘疾,并且各國的憲法和世界衛生組織人權公約、婦女兒童權利公約等均指出,人們應當享有能獲得的最高水平的健康(煙草控制框架公約,及其第八條的實施準則);
辯手二觀點:科學證據明確確定煙草煙霧沒有安全水平,唯一能避免接觸煙草煙霧危害的方案是公共場所全面禁煙《防止二手煙暴露政策建議》;
辯手三觀點:公共場所禁止吸煙能極大的降低火災隱患。
反方觀點:公共場所不應該全面禁煙
辯手一觀點:不符合我國科學發展觀的“以人為本”原則。
1、以吸煙者為本,就說侵犯了吸煙者的自主選擇權。
2、以非吸煙者為本,就說吸煙的人是肯定要吸得,如果在公共場所禁煙的話,必然導致他們在一些非公共的場所吸煙,容易引發火災等安全隱患。辯手二觀點:公共場所禁煙不能絕對禁煙。既然是公共場所就要對所有人開放,吸煙者也歡迎,可在公共場所較偏僻的地方設立吸煙室。這樣為吸煙者提供場所,對非依賴性人群有益。
辯手三觀點:全面禁煙只是一紙空文,法律毫無執行力。當一個法律只停留在立法階段的時候,當世界無煙日的時候在禁煙牌前依然炊煙裊裊生起的時候,還不把有限的公共資源用于教育感化中,卻無端的浪費立法資源,可悲可嘆。
總而言之,我認為公共場所不能全面禁煙,應該考慮煙民的權利,為他們創造一個狹小的空間供他們吸煙,同時避免大眾受“二手煙”的影響。
