We Should Reduce Our Dependency on Coal
Accounting for 70 percent of China's energy supply, coal has fueled China's economy. However, as an extremely dirty source of power, coal imposes huge costs on people's health and general environment. As far as I am concerned, the cost is too high.
Firstly, deterioration of the environment and people's health will in turn halt economic growth. The environment, as a resource-provider, exerts direct influence on economic production, and is closely related to the living standards, health condition and longevity of people. Once certain damage is done, we will have to suffer from the horrendous consequences. The “retaliation”of nature comes in forms of resource exhaustion, water and soil erosion, natural disasters and so forth. In this situation, the economy is certain to be affected, The overuse of coal, which will finally yield severe results, is a perfect example. Secondly, economic development should not sacrifice people's health and the environment. It is the government's responsibility to ensure a good environment for the sake of people's health. Unfortunately, coal induces considerable environmental hazards which can be noticed at local and global level.
"Prosperity" is a state when a society is socially arid environmentally thriving, not just confined to economic growth. Therefore, we should reduce coal dependency and move towards a future where energy supply is both environmentally friendly and sustainable, (218 words)

写作题目：计算机翻译With the amazing development of computer technology, computers can translate all kinds of languages well so our children don't need to learn foreign languages in the future. To what extent do you agree with this view?
写作范文Machine Translation Cannot Replace Human Translation
Machine translation has been the focus of intense interest since the advent of programmable computers. In spite of its increasing popularity, I personally hold that it cannot replace human translation. Learning foreign languages will still be important in the future.
First of all, as globalization and communications are bringing the world ever closer together, ever more urgent he need for global citizens to be competent ins other languages. In a world where nations and peoples are ever more dependent upon one another to supply goods and services, solve political disputes and ensure international security, understanding other cultures is paramount. Learning another language gives the learner the ability to step inside the mind and context of that other culture. Without the ability to communicate and understand a culture on its own terms, true access to that culture is barred. Furthermore, having a second language on a resume is almost a requirement of the job-seeking professional. Businesses recognize that a person with the ability to speak a second language fluently is a valuable asset, It also shows off the capacity of the aspiring job candidate to learn and assimilate complex systems of information, a talent that is sure to catch the attention of any human resources department: Though computers can translate different kinds of languages, machine translation has many shortcomings, making it impossible for it to replace human translation. Computer translation is understandable, but not of publishable quality. Furthermore, the computer cannot discern context and intended meaning the same way a human can. On the contrary, human translation is more accurate and reliable.
In conclusion, computer translation cannot replace human translation and learning foreign languages will remain vital in the future. (281 words)

写作题目：大学的名气和专业，哪个更重要?It is widely accepted that to be admitted by a prestigious university is crucial for one's future career. However, others also argue that it is better to choose one's favourite major in an ordinary university if he cannot be offered the same one by a famous university. What is more important to you-famous universit3r or major?
写作范文：Favourite Major Outweighs a Prestigious University
If one cannot study one's favourite major in a prestigious university, is it better to opt for a second-best university in which one can choose one's preferred major? In my opinion, it is more important to study what one likes rather than being enrolled in a famous university at the expense of one's interest.
Admittedly, a prestigious university yields several advantages when it comes to job hunting, However, the name of the university is not the clincher in determining one's future career. Perseverance and determination contribute greatly to one's success. And what underlies these two things is an intrinsic penchant for what one studies. On the other hand, if one chooses a major one detests merely for the sake of the prestige of the university, it is tantamount to digging a grave for oneself. Just imagine how much enjoyment in life will be taken away from toiling over fields one is least interested in. Last but not least, it is often said that one can only achieve something substantial in a certain area by applying oneself to it. Otherwise, one inevitably feels being trapped in a dead end since one's talents have been suppressed.
In view of these points, I believe that the choice is clear-a favourite major outweighs a prestigious university. (213 words)
