一． 主题句作文
范文 1
Title: Dictionary
(1) The dictionary is a living teacher.
(2) Skills will develop with your constant use of various dictionaries.
(3) But you should have one thing in mind.
Dictionary
The dictionary is living teacher. Whenever you come across a new word, just consult it and you
will get a clear definition from it. Every student, no matter attending school or self-taught, should
always have a dictionary at hand. As a study aid, it is convenient, inexpensive and all knowing.
Skills will develop with your constant use of various dictionaries The more you use them, the
more familiar you will become with them. Sooner or later, you will be quite skilled in finding the
page, scanning the entries and locating the exact meaning of the new words.
But you should have one thing mind. As a language student, you should never depend too much
on dictionaries. Basic language skills do not come from dictionaries, but from your practice. For
some extensive reading, for example, you need not account to a dictionary every time you
encounter a new word, you could just guess the meaning and skip it. Learn the language by
listening, speaking, reading and writing more, and that is the only way to the mastery of a
language.

字典
字典是一个活老师。当你遇到新的单词时，可以查字典你会找到非常清楚的定义。不论是在
校学习还是自学，每个学生都应该手头准备一本字典。作为一个学习工具，字典非常方便、
便宜而且知识全面。
经常使用各种字典你的查字典能力就能够提高。用的次数越多，你就会越熟练。你会非常熟
练地找到需要的页面，浏览目录并快速找到你需要的字。
但是你需要记住一件事情。 作为学语言的学生， 不能太依赖字典。 语言技能不是从字典中来，
而是通过不断的练习。 比如在泛读时，你不需要一遇到生词就查字典而是通过猜测它的意思
并跳过它。通过听说读写的练习来学习语言，只有这样你才能真正掌握一门语言。

Title: Help Children to Be Independent
The topic sentence is provided as follows:
(1) Today in China, many families have only one child.
(2) There are some ways to help children to be independent.
(3) To be independent is good for the children
You should write 160-200 words.
Help Children to Be Independent
Today in China, many families have only one child. So the children usually doted upon by all
family members. Gradually some of them get used to depending on their parents and lack the
ability to solve problems independently.
There are some ways to help children to be independent. Firstly, the child should have a chance to
see the world around him. He must understand that there re various competitions in this world,
and everyone can find his right position in the society only by individual efforts. Secondly, the
parents should give the child enough help to make him feel comfortable. It s impossible to ask a
child not to depend on parents at once. A child needs help from the beginning. Without any help,
the child may lose his faith. Thirdly, parents should let his child make decisions, which can temper
his ability to deal with problems. A child should be praised when he is successful or when he fails.
To be independent is good for the children, because no parents can accompany the children for the
whole life. It is the child himself who is responsible for her own fate. Only an independent person
can live and succeed in this world.
译文
帮助孩子独立起来
现今的中国，很多家庭都是独生子女家庭。所以孩子受到了所有家庭成员的宠爱。渐渐地他
们习惯了依赖父母，缺乏了独立解决问题的能力。
有一些方法可以帮助孩子独立起来。第一，孩子应该有机会认识身边的世界。他必须知道世
界上有各种各样的竞争，只有通过个人的努力才能找到自己的位置。第二，父母应该给他们
提供帮助。开始的时候孩子都需要帮助，离开了父母的帮助他们会失去方向。第三，父母应
该让孩子做决定，以此来锻炼他们处理问题的能力。当孩子成功或失败时他们都需要鼓励。
独立对于孩子是有利的。因为父母不能陪伴他们一辈子。他们要对自己的命运负责。只有独
立的人才能够在这世界生存并取得成功。

范文 1
Directions:
A. Title: Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents
B. Word Limit: 160－200 words
C.Your composition should be based on the Outline given below:
1. every day, thousands of people died from traffic accident in the world.
2. a.Drivers pay no attention to their driving behavior.
b.the whole society indulgent towards the peace breaker, too much traffic in both the city and the
countryside.
3.make laws and regulations to prevent accidents.
Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents
Though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day
we cites the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor
car! It is a never ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people in the world are
killed or horribly mutilated each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes
the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor car often brings out a man s
very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable
when they are behind a steering wheel. They are ill mannered and aggressive, willful as two
year olds and utterly selfish.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone
his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost
uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the
mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With
regard to driving, laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict
enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have dramatically beneficial effect on
the accident rate.
译文
只有制定更严格的法律才能防止事故发生
尽管现在幸福和长寿比以前更容易得到， 但每天却有很多人丧身车轮。人和车的冲突永无止
境，人却是受害者。世界上每年都有成千上万的人死于车祸，我们再也不能坐视不管。
有一种说法我认为是对的，每当人们手握方向盘的时候，他们的个性就显露出来了。勿容置
疑汽车将人们的恶性显露出来。 平时安静的人一开车马上变得让人认不出。 他们变得具有攻
击性，极度自私，像两岁孩子一样任性。
令人惊奇的是人们对于肇事者的态度十分纵容。为他们提供了各种便利条件。由于严重的交
通拥挤，城市几乎变得不适合认居住。乡村也被各种公路网所污染。大量的交通死亡人数也
只不过是一些数字，被人们所遗忘。
我们必须要建立一种世界制度来制止这种对生命的扼杀。一些国家关于驾驶的法律太松懈，
甚至最严酷的法律也是那么无力。被普遍接受的世界制度对于降低事故率只会有利。
范文 2
There is a heated discussion on air conditioner "price battle" in a newspaper.
Write an essay to the newspaper
1) giving a brief introduction to the issue.
2) stating your view about the "price battle", and
3) justifying your prediction.
You should write 160-200 words.
With the rapid advances in the living standard of the Chinese people in recent years, air
conditioners have joined other household electrical appliances as items in great demand. However,
output has far exceeded supply, as manufacturers have scrambled for sales in this profitable
market. As a result, fierce competition has driven them to resort to all sorts of measures to pull
ahead of their rivals and avoid going bankrupt.
These measures include aggressive advertising campaigns, offering a free gift with every purchase
of an air conditioner, and most important of all, lowering prices. Price wars are a common
phenomenon whenever supply outstrips demand in a free market economy, and China s
newly liberalized economy is no exception. Nevertheless, I do not think we will see a repeat of the
recent price war in the air conditioner market in the future
I have three reasons for my prediction. The first is that the earlier round of price cutting
eliminated the less efficient manufacturers from the industry; so there are fewer companies
supplying the market. The second is that the government has taken measures to regulate the air
conditioner market, eliminating the chaos that price wars entail. And the third is that with China
s admission to the WTO, manufacturers will have to offer more attractive-not cheaper-products.
译文
随着近年来中国人民生活水平的快速提高，空调也同其他家用电器一样有了广大的市场。但
是，产量远远超过了需求量，制造商只能在这一领域种挣扎。结果，激烈的竞争使得各个制
造商采取了各种措施超过其竞争者而使自己免于破产。
这些措施包括大规模的广告，提供免费礼物，当然最重要的是降价。在供大于求的自由市场
条件下，价格战是非常普遍的。中国也不例外。然而，我认为将来这种空调价格战不会再重
演。
我有三个理由。第一，首轮的竞争已经淘汰了那些效率低下的制造商。所以市场上的供应将
减少。第二，政府已经采取了措施来规范空调市场，消除了价格战的混乱。第三，中国加入
WTO 后，制造商只能靠提供更好的而不是最便宜的商品来赢得市场。

范文 1
Directions: In the past people thought that education was only for young people. But now it is
believed that education is for a life long progress. Do you agree or disagree?
You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with
examples and relevant evidence.
You should write 160-200 words.
Education is an indispensable part in one s life. It illuminates human knowledge and culture,
improving the development of science and technology. In my point of view, education is not only
for young people, it should be proceeding in people s whole life.
For one reason, our society is developing at an amazing speed along with the improvement of
science and technology. If people stop studying after graduation from university, they can not keep
pace with the steps of social development and easy to be eliminated in the fierce competition. Take
the IT as an example. The amount of information is increasing in a speed dozens of times faster
than before. If a person does not learn the latest knowledge they would not be able to develop new
technology and products. Therefore, a person should take a life long learning.
As the saying goes, “never too old to learn.” To keep up with the development of world, a person
must study during his whole life. Otherwise, he will lag far behind the others.
译文
在人的一生中教育是不可分割的一部分。它承载了知识和文明，促进了科学技术的进步。在
我看来，教育不尽属于年经人，而是一个一生的过程。
其中一个原因就是随着科学技术的不断进步，社会发展的速度也是惊人的。 如果大学毕业后
就停止学习，人们很难跟上社会发展的脚步，很容易在激烈的竞争中被淘汰。比如说 IT 技
术。信息正在以以前几倍的速度增长。如果人们不学习最新的知识他们就不能发展新技术和
产品。因此，人们应该终身学习。
正如谚语所说“活到老学到老“。为了跟随世界的脚步，人们必须终生学习，否则他们将落
于人后。
范文 2
Directions: Nowadays, young people tend to rush into independence. Many of them leave home to
study or work while still in their teens. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. You
should write 160-200 words.
It is very common for young people to rush into independence. Especially, many teenagers leave
home to study or work on their own. I am of the opinion that this new trend has both advantages
and disadvantages.
It goes without saying that earlier independence helps young people to better understand the
people around them and the world as a whole. They can gather more valuable social experience
for their future life and career. Moreover, living on their own enable the young people to face and
overcome difficulties by themselves.
However, every coins has two sides, we cannot turn a blind eye to the unavoidable disadvantages
of early independence. On one hand, people in their teens are still immature. They need proper
protection to all the temptations and evils of society. On the other hand, they are inclined to allot
their time and energy inappropriately, for they may have to spend the lion s share of their time
earning their own living.
To sum up, young people should think the advantages and disadvantages of early independence
seriously before making the decision to leave home and face life s challenges alone.
译文
现在年经人很早就开始追求独立了。特别是许多十几岁的青少年离开家独自在外学习和工
作。我认为这种新的趋势既有利也有弊。
毫无疑问，早期的独立有利于年经人更好地理解周围的人和事。他们可以积累更多未来生活
和工作非常宝贵的经验。而且，独立生活使得年经人可以独立面对和克服困难。
但是任何事情都有两方面，我们不能忽视早期独立不可避免的弊端。一方面，人在十几岁的
时候一般还不成熟。面对社会上的各种诱惑和邪恶，他们需要适当的保护。另一方面，由于
这些孩子年龄小，他们也不能合理地利用自己的时间。
总之，年经在决定离开家独自面对生活的挑战时应该慎重考虑早期独立的利与弊。

What Jobs Do College Graduates Want To Do
College students have a clear idea about their future occupation and boys are to some extent
different from girls in their choice as is seen from the graph.
The most striking contrast is in the occupation of teaching: 45% of girl students would like to
become teachers after graduation whereas only 5% of boys want to do this job. What boys like to
do most is to become managers (40%) and the second largest group is to be businessmen (30%).
Girls also like to pursue these two professions, with a percentage of 15% and 25% respectively
choosing these two jobs. 15% of boys want to become lawyers while 10% of girls preferring this
profession.
Teaching is preferred by females as it provides a more regular and purer life. Women s patience
also fits the job well. Boys consider working as scientists, managers, businessmen and lawyers
more demanding and stimulating, so more boys want to show their talents in these fields. One
thing worthy of note is that the numbers of girls wanting to do business is not small. This shows
that girls also want to do the challenging and exciting jobs.
译文
大学生对于未来职业有很清楚的想法，从上表中可以看出男生和女生在一定程度上有所不
同。
最大的区别是在对教师职业的选择：45％的女生愿意在毕业后从事教师职业，而只有 5％的
男生愿意从事这一职业。男生最喜欢的职业是管理人员（40％），其次是生意人（30％）。女
生也非常喜欢这两种职业，比例分别为为管理人员（15%），生意人（25％）。有 15％男生
和 10％女生毕业后愿意从事律师职业。
女生之所以选择教师职业，是因为这一职业更加稳定和单纯。女性的耐心也非常适合这个职
业。男生认为科学家、管理人员、生意人和律师更加高要求和刺激，所以更多男生愿意在这
些方面展示他们的才华。值得一提的是女生选择生意人的比例很高。这显示了女生也愿意做
有挑战和刺激的工作。
