Due Attention Should Be Given to Internet Safety

①With the occurrence of the vicious competition between the two software companies, many netizens realize the fact that their privacy is suffering from violation and threat. ②In their daily life, they are not only disturbed by strangers due to personal information disclosure on the Internet, but also are suffering the property losses because of the bank account leak.

③When it comes to the Internet safety problems, some network operators’ ignorance of users’ interest is ④the first factor to blame, for they often sell the private information of the users to pursue their own profits. ④The second factor lies in the lack of the relevant laws enacted by the government, which means that the internet users’ right has not been officially protected.

⑤To avoid such violation and threat, I recommend two different approaches. ⑥On the one hand, certain industrial associations should be established to supervise and stop the wrong doing performed by internet companies; ⑥On the other hand, the netizens should manage to equip themselves with knowledge of Internet safety and improve the awareness of self-protection so that their privacy will not be violated.

1. 校园交通事故频发　

2. 人们对校园内是否应该禁止私家车行驶意见不一

3. 我的看法……

Should Driving Private Cars on Campus Be Prohibited?

Campus used to be regarded as a pure paradise for all the students; ①however, with the increase of private cars, traffic accidents on campus has been far more than common in recent years, ②which not only poses great threats to students’ life, but also severely damages the image of universities. ③Therefore, it is proposed that driving private cars on campus be prohibited for the sake of campus safety.

④People who hold that private cars should be prevented on campus deem that the entrance of the private cars will not only interrupt students’ learning environment, but also increase the possibility of car accidents by considering the experience before; ⑤while those who oppose the proposal consider that not all the private car owners should take the blame for the mistakes made by certain drivers and they have the right to run their cars legally.

⑥As far as I am concerned, I agree with the former opinion so that the potential threat of accidents can berooted out and the campus safety can be guaranteed.

On Catchwords

Catchwords are novel descriptions, which enjoy great popularity among the public and possess the ability of spreading. They can be applied to depict everything, including mindset, state, and people. ①Therefore, increasingly more catchwords have been appearing at the speed far faster than we expect.

②There has always been great dispute as for the popularity of catchwords. ③For some people, they reckon that catchwords reflect the development of language and information technology, which stands for the improvement of the whole society; ④while for others, they are of the opinion that catchwords are vulgar and momentary, which can have no positive effect on the society.

⑤Personally speaking, catchwords conform to the trend of the historical development under certain circumstance, which can not be eradicated. ⑥Besides, some catchwords do demonstrate the younger generation’s creativity and sense of humor.

TOPIC 4

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should Urban Parks Charge an Entrance Fee? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.

1．  有人认为市区公园应该免费开放

2．  也有人说如果免费开放市区公园会带来很多问题

3．  我的观点

Should Urban Parks Charge an Entrance Fee?

The question whether urban parks should charge an entrance fee or not has been a source of controversy for a long time. Supporters claim that urban parks, supposed to be places where people have leisure and entertainment, are public ①establishments that have been created with taxpayers’ money and thus should be free.

On the other hand, opponents maintain that, considering China’s large population and lack of a sense of civic duty, once the parks are free of charge, they will not be properly managed and will inevitably be damaged. ②For instance, the problem of parks’ bearing capacity, security and service quality issues will be obvious. So it’s not the time to open urban parks for free.

When considering opinions of both sides, I ③am inclined tothe latter view. It’s certain that free entry to urban parks should proceed with economic development, as it needs financial support. Hence, the current economic level in China reflects that free entry to parks can only be realized gradually.

  Effectively reducing the carbon emission, low-carbon life constitutes energy   conservation and environment protection means, which is helpful to slow down the pace of global warming and environmental worsening, ②bringing benefit to the future generations.  

Then how to live a low-carbon life? Everyone can ③interpret it in their own way in every detail of daily life, but public awareness and passion for saving energy is the key for this campaign. Furthermore, energy-saving habits should be also ④advocated and ⑤promoted, for example, substituting a bicycle for a car, using recyclable bags for shopping, climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator and so on. It’s certain that if enough people live a low-carbon life, everyday and everywhere, it could change history.
