考研英語(yǔ)作文范文
No.1 Opportunity and SuccessOpportunities don't come often. They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without being noticed. Therefore , it is advisable that you should value and treat them with care.
When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. If you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitious, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visityou.The difference between a man who succeeds and one who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful person, on the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by.
In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purpose.
No.2 On Developing Tourism
Tourism, a "smokeless industry", is developing rapidly in China. With the open and reform policy being carried out, thousands upon thousands of foreign visitors are crowding into our country. The are eager to see this old mysterious land with a splendid culture of more than 5000 years.Tourism brings China a lot of benefits. First it enables the Chinese people to know more about the outside world and promotes friendship and mutual understanding. Second ,it is financially beneficial to China, which needs more foreign currencies for its modernization program.
Tourism, however, gives rise to a number of problems. For instance, it becomes a burden to our inefficient transportation system. Besides, the living standard of the average Chinese is still not high enough to be able to afford the many different sorts of expenses during long distance travels.
As for me, I believe that with the development of our national economy, allthese problems will certainly be solved step by step. A much better and brighter future awaits us.
No.3 The Value of Time
As a popular saying goes, "Time is money. "In fact, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However, when time is gone, it will never come back.
As the pace of modern life continues to accelerate ,the time at our disposal is quite limited. But there are a lot of things to be done in our lives. We should make full use of our time to fulfil what is useful to us. For instance, as students we should devote most of our time to our academic studies. In this way we can acquire new knowledge and skill necessary for our future carrier.
In my opinion, wasting time means wasting our valuable life. But many of us don't realize this .They think time is inexhaustable. I'm not in favor of such of a view .Hence ,my conclusion is that we should never put off what can be today until tomorrow.
No.4 Are Prizes a Good Thing?
Nobody denies that competitions with prizes can bring people's initiative into full play. Encouraged by a strong desire to win a prize, one will go all out to seek his greatest success. Consequently, the best achievements will be obtained in a game with awards.
However, the prompting of a prize does not always lead to desirable results. For example, a competitor who cannot overcome the temptation of a prize is likely to take a stimulant .And the hopeless competitor sees nothing but the prize, which might cause improper behavior.
In my opinion, the remedy lies in moral education of competitors. This will help them to understand the slogan: "Friendship--first, and competition--second. "Then, prices will play a better part in any contest. Generally speaking, I believe that prizes are a good thing. No.5 On Keeping a Diary in English
Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability. Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes less time. It can help us to cultivate the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in thispractice, gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English.
In keeping a diary in English, we inevitably run up against a lot of difficulties .In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phases to give expression to our mind. Secondly , there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly. Certainly, there are some other roadblocks we may come across in our keeping a diary in English.
As far as I'm concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.
No.6 On University Tuition System in China
Tuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it was put into effect. Different people have different opinions on it.
Some people think that there is no university in the world which is open to students without tuition. As far as China is concerned, it is a developing country with the largest population in the world. The government is unable to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many different kinds of expenses. One of the ways to relieve the problem is for students to pay tuition. The money raised in this way can be used to improve the conditions for running schools.
Others ,however, are opposed to the tuition system. They argue that the living standard of the Chinese people ,especially of those in the poor rural areas, is still low, compared with that in the Western World. The university tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents, who live on their salaries or wages. Moreover, tuition may become an obstacle to the development of China's higher education. This is because it hinders some talented people from entering the university just on account of their poverty.
No.7 Film Is Giving Way to TV in X City
A recent survey analyzed the change in number of film-goers and TV watchers in X city. As is shown by the graph, there has been a sharp decline in the number of film -goers during the period from 1988 to 1998.On the other hand ,the number of TV watchers has steadily increased in the last decade, reaching 150,000 in 1998.Finally,it is interesting to note that there were as many film-goers as TV watchers in the year of 1994.
There might be two reasons, I think, for the change .First, TV is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but a comparatively cheap one. There is no point in arranging transport. And one needn't pay for expensive seats at the cinema. Second, TV makes it possible for one to keep abreast of current events and the latest developments in science and technology. As a consequence, most people prefer to stay at home, watching TV, rather than go out to the cinema, which wastes both time and money.
personally, I believe there are still a lot of people who enjoy watching films.They claim that the film is a fascinating form of art. Sitting comfortably in the cinema , one can appreciate the latest movies which will usually be shown on TV far later on. Therefore, I trust the number of film-goers will be on the rise in the future.
No.8 The Fight Against Crime
Today the crime rate in some of our cities seems to be rising. Many citizens complain about the thefts and robberies which take place in their street blocks. Therefore ,more and more people are appealing to the authorities to take strong measures to reduce the crime rate.
Faced with criminals ,different people have different attitudes towards them. Some become so frightened that they tend to give up fighting or to turn a blind eye to the criminals. Others, however, are brave enough to fight the criminals even at the risk of their own lives. In their eyes, responsibility is the most important of all the values that hold honest people together. Without it there can be no self-respect, no trust, no law--and, ultimately, no society. There is no doubt that they set a good example for all of us to follow.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestions are as follows. In the first place, every one of us should receive a law education. Secondly, criminals must be punished severely. Finally ,it is urgent to set up a foundation to reward those who fight criminals. In the way we can stand up to any crime and smash it.
No.9 Road Accidents
In recent years the number of road accidents has been on the rise in big cities. Whenever they happen, the people involved are either injured or killed. They cause great losses both to the country and to the victims' families. Therefore, it is urgent that we do something to reduce traffic accidents and make our roads safe.
There are several ways I think to cut down the accident rate. In the first place, the government should take effective measures to improve road conditions. For example, more funds ought to be invested in building new highways and many of the old narrow streets in cities widened or reconstructed. Secondly, local authorities should educate people in every possible way to comply with traffic regulations. Finally pedestrians should be very careful whenever crossing busy streets.
In my opinion, the above mentioned ways are essential to avoid traffic accidents. There is no doubt that the road will be safer to all of us if everyone does his part.
No.10 Stress in Modern Life
As everyone knows, stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. As the pace of modern life continues to increase, we are always feeling on the go from morning till night. And it is hard to slow down. Therefore, stress goes hand in hand with the life in a competitive society.
Different people, however, think of stress quite differently. Some believe that stress is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. They are of the opinion that a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. Others argue that stress contributes to one's mental decline and hence endangers his health. According to them, relaxation, the opposite of stress, is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Personally, I'm in favor of the former view. I think it is impossible to avoid stress when one is entirely devoted to the career he pursues. In my opinion, it is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
No.11 Sharp Increase in World Population
According to the figures given in the bar charts. it took from the beginning of human life to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That represents a time span of at least two million years. Then the world population increased rapidly, adding up to two billion in 1930. The next billion was added by 1960, only thirty years. From then on the global population was on the rise, amounting to 4 billion in 1975,which is another billion people in only 15 years.
There are at least two reasons, I think, for the sharp increase in world population. In the first place, the birth rate is continuously climbing in many countries, especially in developing countries. Generally speaking, people there hold the opinion that children don't cost much and when they get old enough to work they will bring in money and that when parents are old, they will take care of them. Secondly, the death rate in most developed countries declines steadily because people's standards of living are raised and health care improves.
In my opinion, the chief reason for the population growth is not so much a rise in birth rates as a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
No.12 Wealth and Happiness
Wealth has always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labor. Their efforts contribute to the welfare of the society and at the same time to the accumulation of their wealth,and hence to their happiness.
There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness, especially in the modern society. Various kinds of up-to-date household appliances, latest fashions and recreations make their appearance with each passing day. All this makes our life more comfortable and colorful. Therefore, without money we cannot turn admiration into reality.
But there are exceptions when wealth does not go band in hand with happiness. Wealth may tempt weak-willed persons to be addicted to harmful habits, such as drug-taking and gambling, and result in their own ruin. Also, a person may lose his reason and go astray if he is entirely devoted to seeking wealth.
In my opinion, on no account can we identify wealth with happiness. I also believe that one should never rely only on wealth to achieve happiness.
No.13 Average Personal Income of the Chinese Farmers form 1970 to 1990
According to the figures given by the graph, the Chinese farmers' personal income rose steadily from 1970 to 1990. In the middle of 1970's their income was rather low. Their annual personal income was about 140 yuan. But in 1980 the average personal income increased approximately 50%,reaching 210 yuan. As is shown by the graph, in 1985 their income doubled, amounting to 420 yuan. After that there was a consistent tendency for income to grow. In a word, during the period of 20 years the farmers' income had gone up rapidly.
There were two reasons for the increase in the farmers' income in China. First, the Chinese government had been carrying out a reform and open policy. A large number of country-run enterprises had been set up(in the country) in the rural areas. Second, a significant reform of agricultural policy had taken place in China. The Party's policy had brought farmers' initiative into full play. As a result, the agricultural output had been on the rise all the time. All these factors resulted in the steady growth of farmers' income.
I believe that with a series of agriculture policies being carried out, there will be even more rapid development in China's agriculture. There is no doubt that the farmers' living standard will be improved to a great extent.
No.14 The Importance of Confidence
Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one can achieve anything when faced with hardships. This truth seems to be self-evident. In reality, however, we do see a lot of people who always complain that they lack the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcomes. For some, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.
Why do some people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? I think there are two main reasons. First, these people don't have a correct estimate of themselves. Second, there is another possibility that they overestimates the difficulties.
In my opinion, one night build up faith in oneself as long as a right attitude towards his own abilities. We should neither underestimate nor overestimate our abilities. As a proverb says, "Where there is a will, there is a way." With confidence we can certainly cope with any task we are faced with."
No.15 What Is Success?
What is success? Different people hold different views on this question. Some think that one is successful if he can make a great deal of money. Others argue that success means holding an important government post. Still others believe that whoever has got a high academic title is successful. It is clear that there are quite different opinions on success.
In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverant and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are slways two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perserverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to you work mothod. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with you co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in the future.
In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in one's work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people.
