1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上【题目】How do movies or television peoples behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.【范文】The Influence of Television and MoviesThere is no doubt that watching and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and

2、more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored. One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, n

3、owadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational can learn many new things while those who

4、 watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try t

5、o imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies. With the ever-increasing popularity of video , society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.写作题目 Many people claim that an honest man should always

6、 tell the truth; just as the old saying goes, honesty is the best policy. How far do you agree with these people? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic: Is Honesty the Best Policy? Honesty is characterized by truth and sincerity. It denotes the quality of being upright in principl

7、e and action. It implies truthfulness, fairness in dealing with others, and refusal to engage in fraud, deceit or dissembling. Though dishonesty may seem more profitable in a short time, I maintain that honesty is always the best policy to build a positive self-image and to create a heart-warming so

8、cial atmosphere. We are usually mentally and spiritually rewarded for being honest. To begin with a person that shows integrity feels better about himself or herself. Abraham Lincoln was said to walk back several miles to a store when he noticed he had been given one penny too much in change. When L

9、incoln returned the overpaid penny, he probably received thanks from the store owner. That thank and the sense of satisfaction were the rewards of being honest. We feel the same when finding something and turning it into the Lost and Found. Moreover, a person who does not hide his mistakes and weakn

10、ess enjoys inner peace. We cannot use a lie to hide our fault without being afraid of being caught; we cannot help feeling exhausted when pretending to be what we are not. Being true to ourselves and others may have its costs, but it relieves us of mental stress and makes us at peace with ourselves.

11、 In addition, honesty brings us the lasting trust of others, which is the essential basis for almost all our important relationships in work and life. In the long run, a sincere individual gains more friends; a guileless businessman makes more profits; a truthful leader wins more votes. As a preciou

12、s virtue, honesty will also benefit our society. Despite the sharply increased economic well-being, the good faith of honesty is decreasing astonishingly today. Plagiarisms come to light one after another, fake products are found here and there. Fraud suits are reported day by day. All these reflect

13、 a serious decline in social values and contribute to an overall milieu of distrust. One important way to roll back the moral drift is to promote the benefits of being honest and the costs of lying and cheating. Theres an old saying that cheaters never win and the winners never cheat. Though sometim

14、es it seems like cheaters do winat least for the moment, they feel cheap and lose inward, and suffer dire consequences once caught. On the contrary, honesty enhances fair play and contributes to both individual and social prosperity.In short, honesty pays. Being true to ourselves and others, we obta

15、in a good self-image, enjoy the peace of mind and have better social relation ships; by doing whatever we do fair and square, we truly fulfill our potentials and help to defend social values.写作题目 Today，with easy access to the Internet, millions of young people have made new friends online. They shar

16、e their happiness, sadness and even secrets with these friends. But is it advisable to look for friends in this way? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic: Is It Advisable to Look for Friends Online? With the increasingly fast development of the modern society, the Internet has be

17、come an indispensable part of our daily life. One thing we can do with is to make friends. Though many may consider it unsafe to look for friends online, I believe its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages. There are two main reasons why it gets my vote.First, net pals can enrich our knowledge a

18、nd understanding of the world we are living in. in our daily life, the people and things we have chance to meet are limited, and our ability to make friends and explore the society is also constrained for one reason or another. Fortunately, by making friends online, we can get to know more people an

19、d learn about things that may be impossible for us to meet in real life. Especially for those who have stayed in the ivory tower for years, it is one of the effective ways to get to know the real world in advance, thus making preparations for the moment they have to step into society and begin to me

20、et all kinds of people in their work or life.Second, sometimes it is easier to find friends online than in real life. As the social competition is becoming more and more intense, interpersonal relationship is also becoming increasingly hard to deal with, to say nothing of the chance of talking heart

21、 to heart with people around such as a schoolmate or colleague. In this case, making friends online is not a bay way out. Online friends don not have to talk face to face, so they will not feel embarrassed or uneasy to share with each other sadness as well as happiness; online friends usually do not

22、 have conflict of interests, so they feel safe and reassuring to directly pour out problems to and receive sincere suggestions from each other. As the old saying going, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Therefore, I dont consider it necessary to define specifically whether the friend is made in t

23、he real life or online, as long as we can find a true one.From the above analysis, we can conclude that the Internet is quite a positive means to find pals if we can keep our head and stay away from its unhealthy effects. In other words, all depends on human efforts. Therefore, it would be a great p

24、ity if we rejected the alternative way of friends making because of the possible risks it involves.写作题目 In the past few years, we have been witnessing a growing number of Chinese people who celebrate western festivals, such as Valentines Day and Christmas. What do you think of the phenomenon? Write

25、an essay of about 400 words on the following topic: Celebrating Western Festivals：a Plus or a Minus? Nowadays, along with the policy of opening-up, western commodities have flushed into China, together with ideological productsthe festivals. They have been spreading among Chinese people like a rash,

26、 especially the Chinese youth. According to the news that the young are crazy about Christmas and valentines Day etc, but unenthusiastic about Spring Festival or the mid-autumn day. Why on earth are we Chinese people celebrating western festivals while they dont give it a damn to our traditional one

27、s? On account of this weird phenomenon, I strong oppose observing western festivals.The first and the most important reason is that it leads to the corrupt of our own culture. One of the most important carrier of the culture. Chinese government has taken some measures to raise peoples awareness of m

28、aintaining Chinese traditions; on day off on the Pure Brightness day, the mid-autumn festival.Secondly, western festivals do not have much significance to us who do not grow up in that culture. Take Christmas for example, if you are not a Christian, what do you celebrate Christmas for? If we think d

29、eeper into this matter, we can discover that western festivals are nothing but means of money-making, which are also the products of the interest-oriented media. It is only a show, which attracts innocent adolescents into joining the fun. They take advantages of the youngs mentality of pursuing new

30、and trendy things, and turn them into blind worship of western styles.In conclusion, we should be on the alert against the side-effects of western festivals. Its not wise to follow the festivals while we have rich cultural significance of our own. We should guard Chinese characteristics, just like we are exerting our efforts to keeping the diversity of species.专心-专注-专业
