一个新烤鸭常犯的错误，是把语法准确、高难度的句式结构、高大上的词汇运用当成练习目标，然后就会不自觉的研究模板和词库，殊不知，这正是阅卷佬们对中国考生大力压分所在。（这是我猜的。但我可以想象一个阅卷的英国老lady，看到卷子上多少有些的模板句型和词库风的用词，看到021的代码，然后边摇头边英国腔说 there must be copy。。。,然后挥笔给个6分。）
Some people think personal happiness is closely related to economic success, while others believe that this depends on other factors. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
People have different views about what makes them feel happy. I am of the opinion that factors other than economic success play an important role, despite of the essential benefits of the latter.
It is true that monetary wealth improves people’s feelings about life. Money can satisfy people’s material needs and the accumulation of money provides the owners with more opportunities to enhance their life standards. For example, it requires large sums of wealth to own comfortable houses in big cities while the better household condition greatly improves the sense of happiness. Besides, the modern society is heavily commercialized and regards economic success as one’s value for society. People with economic wealth often receive more respect and enjoy higher social status than the less affluent group. This offers a sense of achievement for them and makes them feel happy.
Despite the above argument, I believe that there are other factors that are equally or more important than material wealth to bring about happiness. The good relationship between a person and people around him often matters more than material wealth. Individuals rely on the support and care from family and friends to get away with negative feelings such as depression and loneliness. A wealthy person could hardly feel happy if he lives in isolation. Another important factor is the social contribution of a person. People can obtain a sense of happiness through doing contributive jobs such as volunteer works , which has little relation with economic wealth.
To sum up, happiness depends on a wide range of factors such as social relationship and contribution to society, although economic success offers important benefits. 作者: soundle 时间: 17-8-2014 01:23
这是以前打分6.5的，啰嗦而且错误一大堆。
Meeting someone for the first time through the internet is never a good idea. Do you agree or disagree.
Nowadays, many people meet new friends via internet rather than face to face communication. Although it becomes an issue of hot debate, I strongly support this practice because it brings about numerous benefits.
On top of all the merits, internet enables modern people to meet new friends with much more convenience than the traditional ways. Evidently it spares individuals all the troubles and costs for traveling long time and distance for an appointment with unknown outcomes. Furthermore, if the meeting turns out to be unpleasing, the involved participants could easily terminate the meeting with a nice excuse and thus, feel less distressed or disappointmented . Therefore, for first time contacts , meeting via internet helps people socialize in an relaxed atmosphere.
An equally beneficiary effect of online acquaintance is that it alleviates the shyness or nervousness many people encounter with in the course of meeting. Due to lack of social skills, a large number of youths and adults feel nervous and unconfident when communicating with strangers in actual life. Whereas they often show good communication skills when contacting others via internet tools such as Skype or Facetime.
However, this is not to say that the drawbacks of this practice could be ignored. An common accusation is that communication online is less likely to deliver complete and in-depth information and what might be worse, criminals may disguise and cheat by contacting people via internet. Nevertheless, such problems appear less significant in comparison with the benefits generated and could be tackled with appropriate measures.
To conclude, as an alternative means of contact, internet makes people feel convenient, relaxed and confident when meeting with new friends . It is more than reasonable to anticipate that this practice will be increasingly popular among generations to come. 作者: Serin 时间: 18-8-2014 10:09
