Hence, we can afford both basic commodities and some expensive goods. Kids who are brought up
11、in this well-off environment tend not to save money. That is why we must explain the benefits of saving money to young people. As I see it, the advantages of saving money are twofold: developing budgeting skills and being frugal. First of all, saving up can sharpen our budgeting skills. By setting u
12、p a saving account, we can keep track of our expense and income. We are more conscious about our financial status. Bit by bit, we know how to balance our expenditure and salary. Secondly, saving money helps us to be economical. Saving is a long time commitment, which requires time, efforts and of co
13、urse money. When you develop a habit of putting pennies in a saving box, you would not squander the money at will, because the expenditure is no longer about money, but also about the effort you put into it You will buy things that are really worthy of your “troubles“. In conclusion, saving is encou
14、raged among young people. They will be rewarded with a smart mind for budgets and a virtuous habit of frugality.

Globalization is a larger trend than anyone could have imagined. In this highly globalized world, it is no longer possible to be completely “self-su
16、fficient“. Countries are independent and interdependent. Because of this, I do not think we should only buy things that are domestically produced. First of all, no one country is resourceful enough to produce everything that people need in life. For instance, in China, it is estimated that 15,000 to
17、ns of seeds are now imported from other countries and that 20% of agricultural produce are imported. If we insist on buying home-grown products, we have to give up 20% of our food. Secondly, buying international goods is a gesture to say yes“ to international trade and cooperation Every country has
18、its own comparative advantage so that it can focus on producing the best products to trade with. For instance, German automobiles are renowned for their quality and China is famous for its tea. A trade-off will enable German people to enjoy good tea and Chinese people to drive safely. In conclusion,
19、 we had better not purchase things that are made in our country only. We must exploit our comparative advantages and pursue international trade.

But
21、 advertisements are essentially filled with sales gimmicks, the negative effects of which warrant our attention. The first negative effect of advertisements is misleading the audience. More often than not, sales languages in advertisements are equivocal. They invite the audience to imagine their own
22、 favourable fantasy, which is seldom true in reality. For example, a Coke advertisement may claim that it is “cheaper than the leading brand but with the same quality“. Potential buyers are tricked to think that this Coke is less expensive than Coca Cola and the quality is still guaranteed. Actually
23、, “leading“ is a fuzzy description that could hardly be definite. It could mean a “leading“ brand in the West or a leading brand in China. The second negative effect of advertisements is encouraging excessive consumption. The provocative language in advertisements paints an attractive picture to lur
24、e audiences to purchase a certain product. They declare that by owning this perfume, you will be sexy, and that by having that perfume, you will be elegant. If you want to feel elegantly sexy, buy both of them. Therefore, consumers are consuming the concepts associated with the products, rather than
25、 the products themselves. In conclusion, advertisements might mislead us and lead to over spending on some fanaticized images. 【试题解析】 本题属于 “立场选择型 ”作文，涉及的题材是 “社会热点 ”。该题要求考生对 “广告的正面或负面影响 ”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：指出广告充斥着营销的陷阱，其负面的影响值得我们注意。 主体：阐述原因。 1广告的第一个负面影响是误导观众。以某品牌可乐的广告为例。 2广告的第二个负面影响是鼓励无度的消费。
26、以香水广告为例。 结尾：重申观点。广告会误导我们，诱使我们过度消费。 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 One Way to Keep Our Information Safe When you want to register in a new BBS forum, chances are that you are required to fill in the real name and cell phone number to enter a lucky draw.

27、entity exposure. One way to keep your information safe, as I see it, is to double check the credentials when you are asked to give out information in the Internet forums or instant messaging tools. The major advantage of doing this is that it will lower the risk of exposing yourself to the online fi
28、shing websites. Usually, those fishing websites would be disguised as an authentic trading platform to lure Internet users and deceive them into entering their identity information. To avoid this, Internet users must make sure that the webpage address is officially registered and that the registrati
29、on information is properly declared on the webpage. Checking the credentials would help you form a habit of being alert to all kinds of potential frauds.

The essence of law is rehabilitation and retribution, which deter potential lawbreakers and punish those who break the law. In the spirit of this, I think serious law offenders should be sent to
32、prison, while those with mild offence could be made to work. On the one hand, the deprivation of freedom is a fearsome consequence which rehabilitates criminals and deters potential ones. Imprisonment confines ones movements and actions, which force him to repent his crime. It is hoped that criminal
33、s will feel guilty and regretful by serving time in prison, thus transforming themselves into a law-abiding citizen. Imprisonment also sends a warning message to those potential lawbreakers that they will pay if they break the law. On the other hand, if the offence is not that serious, the penalty s
34、hould be more diverse. For instance, pick-pockets are better made to pick up garbage in the communities for a year, instead of serving 1-month prison time. The community service is more helpful to get law-offenders involved among people and feel ashamed about their wrong-doings. Besides, by working
35、for the community, they could gradually rebuild a sense of belonging, which might prevent them from breaking the law again. In conclusion, for those serious offenders, they should be sent to prison and for those with mild offence, they should be made to work. 【试题解析】 本题属于 “立场选择型 ”作文，涉及的题材是 “社会热点 ”。该题要求考生对 “罪犯应被送进监狱还是送去劳改 ”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：从法律的本意入题，指出 罪行严重的犯罪人士须送往监狱，而那些情节不太严重的犯罪人士应送去劳改。 主体：阐述原因。 1罪犯能在服刑期间通过反思而悔改，从而帮助他们改过，成为守法的社会公民。 2如果犯罪情节不严重，我们惩戒的方式可以多样化。举惩戒小偷为例。 结尾：重申观点，情节严重的犯罪人士应送往监狱，而情节较轻的应送去劳改。 【知识模块】 作文
