作文訓練(圖表類)參考答案：
1. Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.
Some students think it's a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don't think it's bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.
2. A recent survey about whether middle school students can take cell phones to school shows that 25% of the students think that it is good for the students to take cell phones with them. In their opinion, it is very convenient to use cell phones. However 50%of the students are against the idea, for they think both the price of the cell phone itself and the telephone fee are extremely high. They have to ask the parents for money. Using cell phones affects their study. They are also afraid that cell phones may ring while they are having classes. Besides it is harmful for the students to receive and send bad messages. According to the rest 25% of the students, it is OK to take cell phones to school. They think the students have the right to use cell phones as long as they will not disturb the teacher and other students in class.
3. Teachers speak up against giving extra lessons during vacation. The reason, they argue, is based on the definition that vacation is designed for relaxation and rest ,both for teachers and students ,the latter in particular ,should be given enough time and freedom to develop their own interests and enjoy some outdoor activities, which in return ,will benefit their study later on .
60 percent of the students hold the same idea as the teachers involved in the survey ,saying they need more time to relax and prepare for a better start .The others ,about 40percent ,are in favor of it and they want to learn something more during this period of time.
Compared with divided views of their children, parents agree to it ,though they complain about the high price they have to pay .They think having someone take care of their children is better than leaving them about ,and that students can get something out of classes, however little it is .
In my opinion,…
4. About the discussion we’ve had about whether China should devote major efforts to developing car industry, opinions are divided on the question.
60% of the students think China should fully develop car industry. They believe this will speed up the development of the national economy. More workers will be employed. With cars the people’s life quality will be raised. They will save time and be more convenient in their life and work.
On the other hand, 40% of them think China should control its car industry development. Otherwise, the city traffic will be even heavier and more traffic accidents will take place. At the same time, more land will be used for the new roads. What is more, air and noise pollution will become more serious.
5. In recent years, studying abroad has become more and more popular with middle school students. Tens of thousands of Chinese middle school students have gone abroad.
In my opinion, there are many advantages to attending school abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediator between people of different cultures. Second, there is so much to learn about science and technology in foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.
However, there are also some disadvantages. Many students are too young to take care of themselves. Being far away home can make you feel lonely and home sick. Also, of course it’s more expensive abroad than at home. What’s worse, without any experience of living abroad, it’s easy for them to make bad friends and be influenced to do stupid things.
In a word, think it over before you make your decision.
6. Nowadays，going online is one of the most popular topics of the students．Some students think the internet is a great help to them．0n one hand，they can get some information about their school subjects or take a course．On the other hand，they can learn more about the world，which can broaden their views and enrich their knowledge. 0n the contrary， other students think the internet does great harm to our body and mind．Instead of studying on the internet，most students waste their time chatting，playing computer games，or even visiting ill web sites．As a result，the Internet has a bad influence on our studies．
In my opinion，we students should put right our wrong doings and make full use of the internet to improve our studies．
7. The students of our school had a discussion about whether listening test in the National Matriculation English Test should be kept or canceled. Some students think that listening test should not be canceled. They insist listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world. So it should be strengthened today when international cooperation is becoming more and more frequent. But others don' t agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future. Moreover, listening test is unfair to the students in the areas where radio signals cannot be picked up effectively. And for certain reasons, there is a big difference in teachers and equipment between the countryside and the city.
8. A Heated Debate
We’ve had a debate about whether middle school students should do social practice. The pros think middle school students should do social practice．They believe social practice can help them know more about the things around them and give them much experience．By doing so，the students’ ability can be developed．Besides，they can put what they have learned in the books into practice．
On the other hand，the cons think middle school students don’t have to do social practice，because they are too young to fit the world．They say it’s a waste of money and energy．What’s more，there are no such chances．The whole debate is heated．
9. Dear Mr. Principal,
I am a senior student of our school. I'd like to say something about the canteen service in our school. In general, the service is satisfactory. The hall is clean and tidy. The dishes look inviting and taste delicious as well. What's more, the workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us feel very happy. However, we feel the price of the meals is a little too high. Besides, we can only have a limited variety of dishes with little change every week. In addition, we often have to stand in line for a long time before we can get the meal. You could understand how precious time is to us students. Therefore, may I suggest something be done to solve the problems so that we can all enjoy our meals at school?
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
10. Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the changes that have taken place in our English classes since modern teaching techniques started to be used.
Teachers used to speak alone all the time in class, keeping students busy making notes and leaving them no time to think for themselves. As a result, what was taught in class was difficult to understand or to remember. The classes were so dull that the students gradually lost interest in learning the language.
However, things are different now. With the help of computers and other equipment, students not only listen, but also watch and speak a lot in class, which makes what was difficult easier to understand and remember. The classes have become so lively and interesting that all the students are ready to learn English.
11.贊成的觀點：Dear editor,
I think it is good to send teenagers abroad for further study. Compared with China’s education, foreign education has many advantages. It has a good education sense. It pays special attention to the training of students’ abilities and creates relaxing self-study circumstances for them. In the schools, we don’t have to bear a heavy learning load as we do in China, and therefore we can learn much and better. In foreign countries, we have more chances to learn about foreign culture, customs and habits, which can broaden our mind. Though we have to look after ourselves abroad and maybe life is hard for us, it will help us train our ability to live independently and deal with problems.
Yours sincerely,
反對的觀點： Li Hua
Dear editor,
I don’t think it is good to send teenagers abroad to study. Compared with China’s education, foreign education has many problems. Some foreign schools are not as good as those of our country in teaching quality. In those schools, students can’t learn much, and therefore waste a lot of money, which is a heavy burden to their families. Teenagers are too young to take care of themselves either in their study or in their daily life, which in turn will bring a lot of trouble to them. As they often don’t have the ability to tell right from wrong, and lack necessary help and guidance, some lose their interest in studies and even learn something bad.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
