1.    The Advantages of Saving Money    Most people believe that saving money is quite necessary. But nowadays, many young people like to spend money without thinking of saving it for the future. Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:    The Advantages of Saving Money    You are to write in three parts.    In the first part, you should clearly present your view.    In the second part, you should support your opinion with appropriate details.    In the last part, you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.
正确答案:    The Advantages of Saving Money    We are comparatively better off than we were a decade ago. Hence, we can afford both basic commodities and some expensive goods. Kids who are brought up 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 up 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 course 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 encouraged among young people. They will be rewarded with a smart mind for budgets and a virtuous habit of frugality. As the saying goes, a penny saved is a penny earned.

2.    Shall We Only Buy Things Made in Our Own Country?    There are a lot of imported merchandises available in our market. Some people advocate that we should only buy things that are made in our own country. Do you agree? Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:    Shall We Only Buy Things Made in Our Own Country?    You are to write in three parts.    In the first part, state specifically what your opinion is.    In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your opinion.    In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
正确答案:    Shall We Only Buy Things Made in Our Own Country?    Globalization is a larger trend than anyone could have imagined. In this highly globalized world, it is no longer possible to be completely self-sufficient. Countries are independent and interdependent. Because of this, I do not think we should only buy things that are domestic
ally 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 tons 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 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, we had better not purchase things that are made in our country only. We must exploit our comparative advantages and pursue international trade. The days of being self-sufficient have gone.

3.    The Positive/Negative Effects of Some Advertisements    We see a lot of advertisements almost everyday and everywhere. Some advertisements are good, but some are not so good. Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:    The Positive/Negative Effects of Some Advertisements    You are to write in three parts.    In the first part, state specifically what your opinion is. In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your opinion. In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
正确答案:    The Negative Effects of Some Advertisements    Advertisements are a powerful tool, through which products and services are imprinted into viewers minds. But 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 invit
e the audience to imagine their own 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, 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 lure 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 the products themselves.    In conclusion, advertisements might mislead us and lead to over spending on some fanaticized images.
