12、tudents as well. Despite the various opposition, I am here firmly supportive of studying abroad, for the following reasons. Firstly, language is certainly an advantage. Its obvious that if you could live abroad for some period of time, your oral English will improve dramatically as well as your writ
13、ten one. The importance of proficient English in our Chinese society is out of question and you can of course have an edge on others in almost whatever you do. Secondly, if you later want to further your study abroad, its beneficial for you to choose to have higher education at a foreign university
14、at the first place. This provides you with more opportunities to be admitted than the graduates at home: you are more accustomed to the education system abroad and more informative of the latest news. At last, you can enhance your ability of independent living through studying abroad, which is helpf
15、ul for you to adapt to the competitive society in the future. In short, to study abroad may benefit you in the long run. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 2 【正确答案】 Shall Parents Be Strict with Their Children? Whether parents should be strict with their children or not is a challenging issue in education. Some peop
16、le support this practice while others believe that it will spoil childrens passion for study and life. Personally, it is good for parents to be strict with their children so that the children are better prepared for the competitive society in the future, and it is better if parents should carry this
17、 out appropriately. In the first place, good use of strictness should be given priority. Young children are innocent and ignorant, so it is crucial to give them instructions when necessary, especially when they have made some mistakes. For instance, if a child refuses to do any kind of study and is
18、just addicted to games or bothers others, his parents need to show their strictness to him and make him behave well. In this way, good use of strictness may serve the purpose well. Moreover, proper use of strictness could guide children to a better road. Children are young and lacking in experience
19、and direction in the course of development. So parents strictness can ensure their right choice in face of many distractions and thus put them on a fast track and grant them access to success in life and study. To conclude, childhood is the golden time for teens to form their viewpoints about the wo
20、rld. Children can reap a lot from appropriate strictness from their parents, but it is essential for parents to know where to draw the line since unreasonable control over children would affect them negatively in mind and body. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 3 【正确答案】 Will Credit Cards Bring Harm to Students? St
21、imulated by improving living standards and consuming capacity, an increasing number of people, especially students, are tending to use credit cards more and more frequently. Many people hold the opinion that credit cards will greatly benefit students from all aspects and play an indispensable role i
22、n their lives. However, from my perspective, credit cards will give rise to tremendous negative impacts that will do great harm to students. First and foremost, owing to the availability of credit cards, many students who are lacking in self-control will probably purchase a lot of excessive goods wh
23、ich they dont need. Therefore, it will directly press down on the students financial burden and indirectly cause over-expense to the entire family. Whats more, triggered by credit cards, students may confront a terrible situation that they are forming abusive shopping habits and leading a luxurious
24、lifestyle. For instance, some individuals will possibly use credit cards to buy luxurious goods which are totally beyond their budget, such as LV, CHANEL and DIOR. Admittedly, credit cards can do a great favor to citizens on certain occasions, like shopping. Credit cards will definitely provide conv
25、enience; nonetheless, credit cards are too much for students, since they are still too young to shoulder the double-edged responsibilities that credit cards bring about. From the above analysis concerning using credit cards, I firmly believe that students will be influenced and victimized by it thro
26、ugh various aspects. In the meantime, it is advisable that students should not be allowed to use credit cards until they have the financial capability to. pay them off. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 4 【正确答案】 Should Smoking be Banned? For years, whether smoking is allowed or not in public places has drawn a lot
27、 of attention from the public. Some people think as long as tobacco is sold, people should have rights to access cigarettes and tobacco everywhere. However, some others hold that smoking should be banned thoroughly not only in public places, but everywhere, of which I am in complete favor. The main
28、reason is that tobacco is a silent killer to smokers. Tobacco is known to be the probable cause of some 25 different diseases, and for some, such as lung cancer, bronchitis and emphysema, it is the main cause. According to a WHO report, four million people die yearly from tobacco-related diseases, a
29、n equivalent to one death every eight seconds. Obviously, tobacco is becoming a greater cause of death and disability than any other single cause. Another reason is that more and more young people under 18 years old who smoke cigarette have been blinded by the deceit of tobacconists. Tobacco among a
30、dolescents remains stubbornly persistent. Smoking among adolescents rose in the 1990s in several developing countries, such as China, Vietnam and Thailand. While new markets are being opened by the tobacco industry actions, old markets have not been closed. Tobacco is a global threat. Last but not t
31、he least, there is an increase in cigarette smuggling. Because of tobacco smuggling, the legal retailing and distribution systems are badly affected, and faced with increased lawlessness and heavy tax losses. This behavior severely affects the economy. In conclusion, smoking should be banned, because of the hazard it poses to peoples health. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION
