1、考博英语作文范文考博英语作文范文1现代家庭关系There is much discussion nowadays as to whether or not the relationship between family members is close or not. Lots of factors can be identified. Hereby I would like to present my point of view.Great changes have taken place in family life with the development of society. One
2、 of them is that the traditional family is becoming smaller and smaller. Many children have to leave their parents at an early age to study or work elsewhere. As time passes, they become emotionally estranged from their parents.In addition, the availability of various kinds of entertainment also div
3、erts people from enjoying chats with the family members. Their free time is mostly occupied by seeing films, surfing the internet or playing computer games. Thus they have no interest in communicating with the other members of their families.In view of such alienation within families, I believe that
4、 urgent steps must be taken. Regular contact on the phone can bring care to those who live away from each other. Family reunions on holidays or other important occasions can make a difference as well. In a word, a close family relationship can surely be maintained as long as we realize the significa
5、nt role it plays in our lives and attach importance to it.2吸烟问题The majority of people would agree that cigarette smoking has caused serious problems. Yet the tobacco corporations insist that they contribute greatly to the world economy by paying taxes to the government and employing hundreds of work
6、ers.Personally, I assume that cigarette production and consumption threatens to do more harm than good. To begin with, smoking is responsible for many fatal diseases such as lung cancer, heart attacks, to name only a few. According to the recent survey, tobacco consumers account for about 20% of the
7、 world population, and among them, three million people die from smoking-related illnesses every year. The fact that the output of tobacco production is reduced from 14.364 billion pounds in 1994 to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995 also indicates that people have come to realize the negative effects of s
8、moking. In addition, tobacco consumption is extremely wasteful of money. It is said that 200 billion US dollars is due to smoking every year. Obviously, the total loss of money around the globe substantially exceeds the gain in industry.In conclusion, as the economic development aims at making our l
9、ife better, we cannot sacrifice our health for short-term financial benefits. If we have to spend more and ore money providing medical services for those who suffer from smoking-related illnesses, the notion of promoting economy via tobacco production is not justifiable. It is high time that we foug
10、ht for the total tobacco ban.3全球变暖It is known to all that global warming has become a public hazard threatening the survival of human beings. People differ in their views on global warming. Voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about the rise of the worlds temperature is inco
11、mplete and that its OK to pour fumes into the air until we know for sure. This is a dangerous game: by the time 100 percent of the evidence is in, it may be too late. On the other hand, scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us to the growing threat of global warming. But the governments
12、 of many countries tend to turn a deaf ear to the scientists warnings. In fact, the Earths atmosphere is definitely warming and the problem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we should get moving to protect ourselves. So the general public demands that all nations should adopt strong mea
13、sures to prevent the increase of the earths temperature. In my opinion, to serve as responsible stewards of the planet, we must press forward on deeper atmospheric and oceanic research. But research alone is inadequate. All governments are supposed to take the legislative initiative as soon as possi
14、ble. Only in this way can the global warming be put under control.4可持续发展Mans hard work is not only for his own benefit, but also for the benefit of future generations. The existence of our current happiness and valuable national heritage is due to the struggles of our predecessors. We, in turn, shou
15、ld also work hard in order to guarantee the comfort and safety of generations to come. Sustainable development has become a topic of heated debate in recent years. While it is justifiable to satisfy current demands, we cannot neglect the needs of our descendants in the process. Our children also dep
16、end on Earths natural resources and we should not deprive them of such necessities. Unfortunately, many people only think of their short term, personal interests. An entire forest might be clear cut, in the interest of making a profit, without a single tree planted in its place. This inconsiderate a
17、ttitude towards the welfare of our descendants, as well the indifference to the outcome of such reckless actions, can only turn Earth into a cold and lifeless planet.People must be taught to appreciate Earth as not only their home, but also the home of our children and grandchildren, as well as all
18、other plants and animals. While making great efforts to increase our current quality of life, we must simultaneously consider how our actions will affect future lives.5假冒伪劣产品The socialist market-oriented economy in our country is developing rapidly, just like a truck running at a high speed. But the
19、 general public is surprised to find that there are more and more fake and inferior products seriously hampering the expansion of our market economy. Consumers have to be very careful in purchasing goods and services they need; otherwise they will fall into the traps set by the illegal manufacturers
20、.There is no doubt that fake and inferior products are extremely harmful. In the first place, they endanger peoples health, giving rise to a lot of injury accidents. For instance, inferior-quality medicines not only aggravate a patients condition, but also tend to threaten his life and, whats worse,
21、 to result in his death. Secondly, fake and inferior products are usually sold on the cheap. In many cases they interfere with the normal economic order in our country, affecting the marketing of many high-quality goods. This, in a great degree, hinders the development of our socialist market econom
22、y and harms the interests of our state. Therefore, we can say that fake and inferior products are a dangerous “tumor” in our healthy economy, which must be cut away as soon as possible.In my opinion, several strong measures should be adopted to fight against fake and inferior products. On the one ha
23、nd, those who make them deserve to be severely punished by the law. On the other hand, consumers should learn to discern between true and false. Only in this way can they defend their own legal rights and interests. 6教育/考试Testing students by examinations has long been regarded as a reliable way to a
24、ssess students competence. But disproportionate emphasis on examinations has brought about terrible results. On the one hand, teachers tend to make use of different kinds of testing to force students to work hard at school. On the other hand, most parents think that school records are the sole crite
25、rion for judging the quality of a childs work. It often happens that a child is punished heavily by his parents just because he does not do well in one examination or another. Therefore, pupils are extremely afraid of taking examinations. As far as Im concerned, examinations are an effective form of
26、 assessment if properly used. But teachers and parents should encourage pupils to concentrate on what they do well at school. And schools have an important duty to try to fit a childs interest to his possible future career. On no account should they reckon examination as the only means of stimulatin
27、g pupils to pursue knowledge.7职业道德 Professional dishonesty has a very damaging effect. In the first place, since cheating in business reveals the moral deficiencies as well as the humanity weakness of those businessmen who engage in it, the dishonest practice will ultimately exerts a perverse influe
28、nce on the whole society. In the second place, it not only puts honest businessmen at a competitive disadvantage, encouraging those who did not cheat to adopt similar practices later, but undermines the very foundation of professional ethics in business. It is often painful to impose sanctions in a
29、specific case. But it is worthwhile. For one thing, to eliminate professional dishonesty thoroughly, serious forms of punishment for a willful offensea suspension of the offender from businessshould be applied. For another, since the incentives to engage in cheating in business are mainly due to a l
30、ack of adequate precautions, drastic actions should be taken to prevent one form of cheating or another.8网瘾问题The adults claimed that many teenagers were spending far too much time in Internet cafes and were suffering from “Internet addiction”. People differ in their opinions on the question: Should
31、we shut the cafes down? Some believe that teens are too young to restrict themselves. Without proper supervision, they tend to spend hours in the Internet cafs and develop addictions. According to them, because it is difficult to get all cafes to refuse teenagers, shutting them down is a practical s
32、olution. Others are opposed to shutting all the cafes down because it is like throwing away the apple because of its core. They argue that Internet cafs are there for those who need easy Internet access and who dont have access at home. Shutting down all the cafes limits the rights of these people a
33、nd so the policy isnt fair to them and to the Internet caf operators. In my opinion, we cant blame teenage Internet addiction on the Internet cafes entirely. If our kids want to enjoy network games, they can play at home, even if all the cafes are shut down. I think we should educate the young about th
