1. Just as the old saying goes, there is no garden without weeds, and so does the popularity of cars. On the one hand, cars become the essential transportation for life and work.

Therefore, for the sake of people’s health, if possible, we’d better try not to use cars. 正如老話所說,沒有不長雜草的花園,每樣東西都有兩面,汽車的普及也一樣。一方面,汽車成為我們生活和工作的不可缺的一部分。另一方面,汽車的普及也相應地導致了嚴重的空氣和噪音污染。因此,為了人類的健康,我們應該盡可能不用車。
2. Generally speaking, it is widely believed that there are several positive aspects as follows about students’ using mobile phones at school. Firstly, with a mobile phone in hand, a student can get in touch with parents conveniently. Secondly, mobile phone can sometimes be used as a dictionary if it is connected with the Internet, which is beneficial to students’ English learning. However, its disadvantages are also obvious. To start with, getting in touch with friends as well as parents by the phone too frequently will surely have a bad effect on students’ study. What’s worse, it is common for students to get addicted to mobile phone games. From the comparison between these positive and negative effects, we know that its disadvantages far outweigh its advantages. Therefore, students had better not use mobile phones.一般而言,大家都認為學生在學校使用手機有許多的好處。首先,有了手機,學生能方便地與父母取得聯系。其次,如果你的手機可以上網,你還可以把它當字典用,這對學生的英語學習非常有幫助。然而,學生在學校使用手機的不良影響也是很明顯的。首先,過于頻繁地用手機與父母和朋友聯系對學生的學習有很大的負面影響。此外,很多學生會對手機游戲上癮。對比其優缺點,我們知道其負面影響大于正面影響,所以,學生在校最好不要用手機。
3. Evidently, students enjoy English films has both negative and positive aspects.

For one thing, it is a good chance for us students to practise our listening as well as speaking. For another, to prepare for it, we need to refer to some books and newspapers, which in return enriches our knowledge. However, just as a saying goes, “every coin has two sides”, and this is no exception. To begin with, it costs the limited time in class. Besides, if we can not make sense of the speeches, we will lose confidence in learning English.課前三分鐘的英語演講對我們英語學習很有幫助。它的好處如下,首先,這是訓練學生聽說的一個很好的機會。其次,為了作相應的準備,我們要查找報紙和書籍,而這也同時豐富了學生的知識。然而,正如常言所說“任何東西都有兩面”, 課前三分鐘的英語演講也不例外。首先,它占用了課堂的有限時間。此外,如果我們聽不懂這些演講,我們會失去學英語的信心。

Parents who buy computers for their children may damage their exam result, according to new research. The study suggested that computers could distract(使分心)school children from their studies as they spend hours chatting with friends and playing games.
More than nine in ten secondary school children in Britain currently use a computer for their homework. But the latest report found children did worse in maths and reading tests when they had a computer at home.
Professor Jacob Vigdor said,” Adults may think of computer technology as a convenient tool, but kids don’t share that idea.” The research also found that home computers were of more help in families where parents’ guidance was more effective. In poorer families, parents were less likely to check children’s computer use and guide their children towards educational programs. A conclusion followed a study last year that education was being disrupted by “technology obsession(癡迷).” Researchers at Cranfield School of Management said increasing use of the Internet and mobile phones was damaging pupils’ ability for independent study and improving poor grammar.

[舉一反三,靈活運用]
1. As we all know, there are always two sides in every debate. On the one hand, taking part in after-class activities has its advantages. Firstly, it enriches our experience and makes our school life more colorful. Secondly, it is after-class activities that relax us after a long time of study. Thirdly, participating in these activities can keep us energetic, which is good for our health. On the other hand, its disadvantages are also evident. To begin with, attracted by these activities, students may lose their interest in study. Besides, it takes up lots of time of students if they participate in these activities, which affects their study.
2. Nowadays many people prefer to shop on line. Generally, its advantages can be seen as follows. First, it’s convenient for us to shop on line. Secondly, it helps save much time, with which we can do other important things. But just as an old saying goes, every coin has two sides. Its negative aspects are also apparent. One of the disadvantages is that we are not sure whether the goods we buy are in good quality. Through the above analysis, I believe that the positive aspects of shopping on line far overweight the negative ones. Therefore, I would like to shop on line.
3. Faced with the stress of college entrance examination, many students choose to study late into the night. We should admit that it does benefit us a lot. For one thing, by studying late into night, we students have much more time to deal with our different subjects. For another thing, it is at almost midnight that students can have a quieter surrounding and clearer mind to focus on study. However, every coin has two sides. Studying late into the night is no exception. Firstly, if we study late into the night, of course we will feel tired, which will distract us from our study the next day. What’s worse, studying late into the night will weaken our health, leading to even illness.

As was suggested in a recent research, home computer might harm children’s test results. However, it is also found that parents play an important role in guiding children’s use of home computers.
With the development of economy and technology, an increasing number of parents can afford their children computers. Its advantages can be listed as follows. For one thing, computer brings us a large amount of knowledge. When meeting difficulties in study we can search the Internet for help, which is convenient and fast as well. For another thing, we are able to talk to our friends through the Internet, discussing problems or something we can’t solve by ourselves. However, every coin has two sides, and home computer is no exception. A computer makes some of us so addicted to them that we can’t help logging on for games, chatting, blogging or some other forms of amusement, which is what we called Net Addiction.
If I were a parent, I would arm my children with computers. To make full use of computer, we have the following suggestions. To begin with, parents should spare time to check children’s computer use, guiding them towards educational programs. Moreover, rules must be made for children to follow, for example, they can’t use computer for more than three hours a day. In a word, only when parents’ guidance is more effective will home computer be of great help.
