The last several decades have seen a decline in parental influence on their children. In fact, it seems that the more children watch movies and television and get influenced by people outside the home, the more their parents lose control over them. Nowadays, children and teens are often searching for role models other than their parents to imitate. They naturally look to celebrities like singers, movie stars, and athletes to be their guides. For example, many high school students like to dress in the latest fashions that have been made popular by various celebrities. They even cut their hair like famous people or say the same things as them. Parents simply cannot complete with these stars when it comes to influencing their children. Many television shows, movies, and video games have high levels of violent content and bad language, which greatly influence young people watching them. Children have begun acting badly based upon what they have seen on various media.

My younger cousin got in trouble at school for kicking some other students. When asked why he did it, he responded that he had been imitating his favorite cartoon character. He had seen this behavior and decided to act similarly. His parents had enormous difficulties getting him to stop. This showed me that TV shows can be more influential than parents. Finally, young people often feel like they have nothing in common with their parents, so their parents' influence in their live decreases. Young people think their parents do. For example, many parents are not as proficient as their children are at using modern technology. They might not even know how to surf the Internet or use an MP3 player. This gap in knowledge makes it very hard for them to find common ground with their parents. In conclusion, modern media and the world of technology have much stronger influences on young people than their parents do. As young people get more absorbed in television, movies celebrities, and their friends, parents should expect to continue losing more control over their believe that outside influences have stronger effects on young people than their parents do. This, however, is a mistaken belief.

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others , however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Over the last half century the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations. This has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis. This means that change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and we need to constantly adapt to keep pace with it.
Those people who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the ‘safe’ patterns of behavior are not longer appropriate.
However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that ‘change is always for the better.’ Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts for the majority of people. A lot of innovations are made with the aim of making money for a few. This is because it is the rich and powerful people in our society who are able to impose changes(such as in working conditions or property developments ) that are in their own interests.
In conclusion, I would say that change can be stimulating and energizing for individuals when they pursue it themselves, but that all change, including that which is imposed on people, does not necessarily have good outcomes.

According to the investigation,Chinese students rely much more on their parents for financial support than their American counterparts . As far as I’m concerned,there are many reasons behind the gap and it will change in the future.
In my opinion,the main reason lies in the sense of independence. American students are taught to be independent when they are very young. For example,they will have to earn their own pocket money by helping with the house chores or doing part-time jobs since their childhood. On the contrary,Chinese students are taken such good are of that it is very difficult for them to live on eir own. In other words,American parents treat their children in college as responsible adults while Chinese parents will take it for granted that they should help their children in all ways as long as the children need it. As a result,Chinese American peers do. What’s more,Chinese students have fewer opportunities to find part-time jobs.
However,the gap will narrow gradually in the future. Nowadays more and more Chinese students are seeking part-time jobs as they’re eager to acquire some social skills and earn some money,which will help them to do more in school and to live independently. As to the American students,I think the sources of American students’ income will remain the same.

A Major Advantage/Disadvantage of the Information Age
As everyone knows, the information age has brought us countless benefits, but when it comes to its major advantage, people may hold different views. As for me, the major advantage of the Information Age is that it makes it easy for individuals to have instant access to all kinds of information. In the past, for instance, if a student was meant to compose a thesis, he was supposed to bury himself in piles of books in the library, and probably after several days’ or even several months’ searching, he still could not find the materials he wanted. But now it is a totally different story. The advanced techniques of the information age have spared us all those troubles. What we need to do is just sit in front of the computer and search for our target information on the Internet rather than struggle painfully in numerous books. More excitingly, we don’t have to waste several days or even months waiting. Usually the information we need will be transferred to us in seconds. The information age can not only bring convenience to students in searching of materials, but also help people in all walks of life, save their energy and enhance their efficiency. Now since we’re in an economy based around the manipulation of information, I have every reason to believe that this advantage of the information age will play an even greater role in the future.

Many young people go to universities without a clear idea of what they are going to do. If one considers the various courses offered, it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to him. If a student goes to a university to acquire a broader perspective of life, he will undoubtedly benefit. Schools often have too restrictive an atmosphere. Most students would, I believe, profit by the exploration of different academic studies, especially the all rounder with no particular interest.① They should have a longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degrees, so that in later life, they do not look back and regret.
There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of ones time at university.② Some students, who are good at a particular branch of learning， may spend three or four years becoming a specialist， appearing with a first class Honors Degree but very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. Therefore there will have to be much more detailed information in all fields. On the one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.③

The comic reflects the image of our modern world in which technology has been an inseparable part of people’s daily life. As is shown, the man in the picture uses a laptop at work and home, for business and entertainment, so obsessed that he even dreams about bending over his laptop.
It is undeniable that this has been a common scene and the overuse of computers has aroused great concern. In my opinion, people should be cautious of the excessive use of computers for the following reasons. In the first place, it will inevitably affect people’s health if they sit before computers and stare at the screens for long hours, which may result in muscle pain and visual impair. Secondly, playing computers alone isolates people from others. Relationships in the real world are maintained through human contact and spending time with each other instead of chitchatting online. In summary, people should cut down their computer use for health and social reasons. Computers are not controllers but tools in our life.

Nowadays, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. There is no doubt that watching movies has become one of the main entertainments today and can influence the way that people behave.
Firstly, there are more and more advertisements before the movies. For example, I have experienced thirty minutes advertisements before the movie began. Secondly, the movies affect people in that they give people either a broader view of the world, depending on what type of programs they choose. For instance, those who watch news and educational programs can learn new things while those who watch entertainment shows can have great fun. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see in the movies.
In conclusion, with the ever-increasing popularity of movies, the influence is also tremendous and overwhelming. Besides the positive influence, we should pay more attention to the negative influence. (178 words)

一、熟悉和研究历年真题，熟练背诵所考作文的几种模板
背什么东西呢?很多同学会想到，就是背模版。模版这个东西是可以背的。
我们一般地来讲会把6级的作文分成5种类型，那也就是至少有5篇文章可以作为模版去背诵。
背模版又可分成5个档次：
1、最不好的其实就是没有背模版，自己还没有好东西，那叫“手中无剑，心中也无剑”，就是属于“裸考”，属于“等死”的档次。
2、比较好的，比这个好一点的是背模版，没有背好，没有用对地方，仅仅是第2档次，也就是“手中有剑，心中无剑”。
3、更好一点儿的是第3档次，就是背准了用对了，手中心中都有剑，但其实还不是最好的。
4、第4档次，就是大家更应该追求的，有自己的写法，模版的句子也可以变。
其实考过4级的同学，你在4级模版里面背的句子，6级作文同样可以用。还有，不管4级还6级的.模版，你都可以把一些词儿变成自己的，有自己的写法，这个才是最应该追求的，就是“手中无剑，但心中有剑”。
5、其实还有第5档次，第5档次不用追求，它名字等于第1档次，仍然是“手中无剑，心中也无剑”，那是种超凡脱俗超然世外的心态，那就是不考。
其实我们都到现在了肯定是要考，要考就是要上战场，要上战场就得有剑。最好有自己的剑，实在不行再用我给的剑。这就是对我们背套句的态度。
二、提高作文分数，除了背套句，要有自己发挥的内容，需要背话题词、常见词
其实背诵还包括更多的东西，因为除了套句之外，毕竟有一些东西是要靠自己写的。套句再多也就占这个文章的1/3到1/2。只有极其个别的，比如说像休职信/辞职信，那可能模版句能占到80%到90%，可是这种东西它既然能够总结出这么多现成的模版，出题人是不太愿意出的。大家都可以背，背了就可以写得好，改卷人看着那么多一样的卷子他不好打分，所以考的可能性不是那么大。那么更多的具备可考性的作文是没有那么多模版可以背的，毕竟要有自己写的地方。那么改卷的人，尤其是比较熟练的改卷的人，他就不看你的模版句了，你背对了也没有太大的用处，只不过比你写错了要强一点儿。他真正看的是你自己写的地方怎么样。

Should Parents Decide Children’s Life?
In this illustration, we can see that a teenage girl happily informs her mother of the news that she is admitted to the college which her mother has selected for her. The picture implies the great influence that parents have on their children’s decisions. Choosing college for them is a typical example.
It is evident that parents’ thoughts and behaviors shape how their children think and behave. However, in my opinion, it is inappropriate for parents to make every major life decision for their children. For one thing, each child is an individual with his own character. Children’s perceptions of life may be different from their parents’, so their choices may diverge. For another, parents cannot fully comprehend what their children want or need and therefore their decision is not necessarily the best choice for their children.
All in all, it is advisable that parents respect their children’s choices and let them be the masters of their own lives.

Nowadays more and more parents are eager to send their children to study abroad before they finish high school by whatever means and at whatever is quite understandable for parents to send their children to study overseas because they place high expectations on their children. They are encouraged by the success stories of those who have completed their overseas study.
With the development of economy, companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences, too. Consequently, pursuing overseas study became a kind of short cut in gaining a better future. Moreover, there is still one underlying reason for this rush-economic reason. The rapid economic progress in the past few years in China has enabled more and more parents to afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas for me, overseas study is surely a helpful way to get both advanced knowledge and necessary experiences, but overseas study at an early age is neither necessary nor benef1cial. The students may be too young to either tend for themselves or think for themselves. I do think that overseas study can contribute to one’s self-improvement, but it’s better to be pursued after one has finished his college study at home, when he is more capable of learning and living on his own.

Artificial Intelligence
Future trend in computer science is one of the artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is a new science of researching theories, methods and technologies in simulating or developing thinking process of human beings. It including the research in the field of robotics, speech recognition, image recognition, Natural language processing and expert systems.
AI is an embranchment of Computer Science, and it is foreland of research field of computer science.

This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on ones desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.
The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employmentbecause there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason.
In order to create a realistic target for ones future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.
译文：
这幅画很可笑，但引人注目。一位身体庞大的顾客在裁缝仔细地为他量尺寸准备做衣服时，手里却拿着一块小得令人绝望的衣料。这幅画告诉我们，一个人在执行任务的过程中必须考虑到实际情况，仅从主观意愿出发而不顾眼前的事实，是不可能成功的。
当前大学生的就业率使我们意识到进行合理思考的重要性，每年有大约300万大学生从学校毕业，寻找工作，他们中的很多人并没有找到一份适合自己的工作，有一个原因是没有足够的就业机会提供给数量如此庞大的毕业生。但除此而外，过高的自我估计也是可能的原因之一。
为了能够实现未来目标，一个人必须做出合理的决定，并做好相应的准备。比如一个志在成为外科医生的学生，就必须确保自己有临床实习的机会和足够的知识，换句话说，顾客在购买衣料前必须先量好准确的尺寸，一个大块头是无法穿上一小块布料的。

On the one hand, credit card gives people a large amount of money to spend ahead. When people have a lot of money at hand, they will have the strong desire to spend and buy what they want. Some people can’t control themselves. Credit card brings people the sense of satisfaction.
一方面，信用卡给人们提供了很大一笔提前预支的钱。当人们有了大笔钱在手，他们会有很强烈的愿望去消费，买自己想买的。一些人无法控制自己。信用卡给人们带来了满足感。
On the other hand, credit card makes people burden a lot of money. When people spend the money ahead, it means that they need to return it. Some people become the slave of credit card, they need to pay off part of the money every month. They don’t earn much, but they need to take out some part of the salary to pay off the debt.
另一方面，信用卡使得人们背负着很大的债。当人们提前花钱，意味着他们需要还。一些人成为卡奴，需要每个月偿还部分钱。他们本来就没有多少收入，但是还要拿出一部分薪水去还债。
Every coin has two sides. Credit card brings people pleasure, at the same time, if people use it in the improper way, they can be the slave.
凡事都有两面。信用卡给人们带来了快乐，同时，如果人们不正确使用信用卡，就会成为奴隶。

A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents， for various reasons， missed the chance of obtaining a good education. When their children meet with difficulties in study， they are helpless. Private tutoring is the only solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one， the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil clearly.
However， private tutoring has its own disadvantages. For one thing， it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment， which are essential for their physical and mental health. For another， some teachers， busy “shuttling” from one family to another， tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What’s more， some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test， offering the so-called tips for test-taking rather than help them acquire what is more meaningful.
Generally speaking， its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice， on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of pupils’ potentials. Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.
翻译：
最近的一项调查显示，约有80%的学生有私人教师，这种普遍做法表明，人们越来越重视教育。许多父母由于种种原因错过了接受良好教育的机会。当他们的孩子在学习中遇到困难时，他们是无助的。私人辅导是唯一的解决办法。由于家教通常是一对一的，老师清楚地知道学生的优点和缺点。
然而，私人家教也有它的缺点。一方面，它占用了学生太多的时间，以至于他们很难找到足够的时间休息和娱乐，这对他们的身心健康至关重要。另一方面，一些教师忙着从一个家庭转到另一个家庭，往往忽视了他们的正常教学职责。更重要的是，一些教师渴望帮助学生在考试中取得好成绩，提供所谓的应试技巧，而不是帮助他们获得更有意义的东西。
总的说来，它的缺点大于优点。加强课堂教学与实践，提高教学质量，挖掘学生潜能。只有这样，新一代才能健康成长。

Crisis is to our life what illness is to our body. Just as fatal disease can destroy our body and sometimes even put an end to our lives, so does smashing crisis knock us down so hopelessly that we might never have chance of standing up again. However, most crises that frequent us in life are not such category. They, like occasional ailments which sometimes can bolster our body's immune system, are mostly minor and surmountable and therefore making us hardy enough to survive whatever adversities in our later life. Even those serious crises, if handled properly, can be turned to a blessing to us, too.
As far as a nation is concerned, crisis can be rendered beneficial. Take Wenchuan earthquake which shook most of Sichuan recently for example. The crisis has cost us Chinese a lot. Houses collapsed, bridges broke down and many affected areas were cut off from the outside world. Nearly a million people lost their homes, ten thousands of people were injured and another ten thousands of people were killed. But our sufferings won't go in vain. Scientists are more determined to improve the means by which we forecast earthquakes with more accuracy. We should build houses which can survive the destructive earthquakes. And we also should better the mechanism to face the emergencies and crisis.
As for economic life, crises are not always rendered bad. During these times, we can stop the race of fast economy to speculate about some fundamental issues of humanity such as how much high-speed development in this way can contribute to the well-being of human life. Just take my own country for instance. Of course, in the past two decades or so, our economy has gained the highest speed man has experienced. But haven't we paid too much? Our rivers are polluted. Our natural resources are shrinking. Our national power of creation is drained. Is it worthy of it? Isn't it high time we gave it a serious thought? Shouldn't we stop making ourselves long in quantity and short in quality? And chance of deep thought has come with this crisis, which is now deepening in most parts of the world.
Crisis sometimes contributes to our life treasure in a way that few can imagine. It can weather us and make us strong enough to face ourselves when we feel weak. Eric, my uncle is a case in point. He had hard time in his childhood going through such a fatal disease that he had never thought he could survive. He was in due course saved by doctors. Ever since then he regarded his life as a second given by God and has been so grateful to the world that he has been doing whatever he can to give back in the same measure to other fellows. And now he is living a happy and successful life.
As a well-known ancient Chinese notion goes, the past lessons if not forgotten can be good teachers for us all. If we can bear in mind the various sufferings and ordeals we have experienced, then our sufferings will not go unrewarded and those of our compatriots who was killed in the earthquake did not die in vain. We should take the lessons from crisis and regard them as a chance for new growth.

Everyone learning English knows what a white lie means, but since it is a lie, it has always been a controversial topic. A case in point is when a patient is suffering an incurable illness, should the doctor or the other people inform the patient of the truth?
每个学英语的人都知道白色谎言是什么意思，但既然这是一个谎言，它就是一个备受争议的话题。有个相关的例子就是如果有个身患不治之症的病人，医生和其他人应该告诉那个病人真相么?
People who against this insist that the patients should be informed the true information about their illness, so that they can make proper decision according to their health. And the laws entitle people to know the truth which concerns themselves, so telling them a lie in fact invades their legal right.
反对这个的人坚信病人应该知道真相，这样他们就能对他们的健康问题作出适当的决定。还有法律规定人们有权知道关于他们的真实情况，所以如果告诉他们谎话，那么事实上就是在侵犯他们的合法权利。
Contrary to the above belief, some people hold that a white lie is t acceptable.
