At first thought, it seems that the computers can really help us to do so. But if you look in- sue the matter deeply, you may find a different answer. First of all, machines can never replace mankind. Computers are created by man and are controlled by human brains. We can never rely too much on machines; otherwise we will become the slave of them one day. On the contrary, we need to enrich our knowledge as much as possible so that we can catch up with the fast pace of the world. It is very necessary to learn more languages so as to upgrade our abilities to follow the progress of the world.

　　And furthermore, it will do good to children if they learn more languages. Both their brain and their thinking modules can benefit from it. When they grow up, they can easily accept various kinds of cultures and communicate with foreigners, which can favorably enhance the mutual understanding and develop international brotherhood.

　　So, we can clearly see that, though computers can be good translators, people still need to learn more languages with a view to improving their abilities and facilitating their future communication with people from other cultures.

　　(Sample 2)

　　An argument occasionally these days is that some people often think machine translation can take place of the children's study of a foreign language. As far as I am concerned, I can't totally agree with this opinion.

　　It first comes to the point that machine translation is not high efficiency. The human language is so complex that nowadays no such machine can translate one language to another sufficiently and totally. The machine can only provide some words or pieces of half-baked sentences. So we human beings, especially children, may not rely on this kind of machine, at least recently.

　　On the other hand, if the real machine that the whole sentence can be translated completely turn to reality, children should not be taught not study a foreign language.  The reason is the language (especially speaking) is made up of not only the grammar and words but also tones and mood. And when children are studying a language, he is not discovering an unknown area, but wild his logic and ideation. Additionally, even if the machine will be out of work one day occasionally in future, he can talk with other foreigners freely.

　　Frankly, the loss of language sensitivity is much popular these days. Many people's speaking and grammar is terrible. Children often study wrong speaking from annoying TV programs and untrained broadcasters. The invention of translation machine will make it worse. The problem whether to teach the boys and girls foreign languages or not needs to be treated seriously.

　　In a word, in modern society the translation machine is stealing our sensitivity of the language. People should do something to prevent the loss of language ability, especially in the childhood.

　　Task: Motorized flight is the greatest invention in the history. No other inventions exerts greater impact. do you agree or disagree.

　　New scientific inventions have dramatically changed the way people live. Motorized flight is one of the key inventions in the history of technology. However, as far as I am concerned, the impact of motorized flight can be not considered the greatest among all inventions.

　　Apart from the motorized flight, other inventions have contributed enormously to our everyday life as well. Especially since the “industrial revolution” took place, our lives have been made much more convenient by inventions such as trains , computers and internet. Each invention has its different functions and works in different fields. As a result, it is hard to compare that which one exerts greater impact. Even a pair of chopsticks has impacted for almost 5000 years on the habit how people eat in China.

　　In addition, we should not only focus on the motorized flight itself to announce that it is the most important invention. Admittedly, it made the dream of human being become true, which people had been dreaming for so long to fly in the sky. From thunder and lightning to the electrical light, from the invention of the wheel to the car,and of course, without the invention of the screw; nail; hammer and motor, there will be no airplane.

　　In conclusion, the steps of inventing new products will never stop in our fast-developing society. Without suggesting all the inventions are equally good, I think we should not ignore other small inventions as well, because every invention can be our friends and support our way of life.

　　With the process of globalization and interaction among different nations, a variety of native languages and cultures have been lost.

　　What are the main reasons for and effects of this phenomenon? And what can countries do to save the great loss?

　　During the past two decades, the trend of globalization has been gaining momentum. Giant, multinational corporations produce and sell their commodities in almost every country. Meanwhile, with the increasing interaction among different nations and the dominance of English as the most preferred international language, cultural gaps have been largely bridged and a number of native languages have been lost. Although this phenomenon may be a necessary step to economic prosperity, the great loss of many native languages and cultures is to be lamented.

　　It is obvious that globalization and the economic development in many countries are the culprits. In order to communicate with a few industrialized nations, whose languages are mainly English, French and German, many developing countries have to sacrifice their own native languages, and some of them even adopt English as their only official language, as in the case of Singapore, where the pre-dominant language in all mass media is invariably English. Without effective communication, opportunities for free trade and prospects of economic advancement are very slim.

　　However, the sacrifices that these countries make for globalization are far too great because the loss of their native languages and, subsequently, their cultures and traditions, are virtually irretrievable. For example, before the American continent was discovered, there were thousands of native Indian languages. But since the USA established itself and started to explore its western territories, hundreds of these languages, together with their unique cultures and customs, have been vanishing every year. This is certainly a devastating catastrophe to the world’s lingual diversity and cultural heritage.

　　Therefore, governments of many developing nations should take effective measures to preserve their native languages and cultures. One thing they can do is to emphasize their national identities in all educational levels. Schools and colleges should promote cultural awareness and encourage patriotism in their courses and extracurricular activities. In a similar way, government agencies and all civil services can use English and their native languages simultaneously as a good way of accommodating globalization as well as retaining their national heritage

　　In conclusion, the growing trend of globalization and the economic improvement in many developing countries has resulted in the rapid extinction of a wide range of native languages and cultures. And governments must take serious steps to save the huge loss and play an important role in preserving their own heirlooms.

　　Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　International tourism is booming: millions of tourists go to other countries to explore the outside world.  Tourism enhances the mutual understanding between the local people and tourists. Some people hold opposite opinions.  They think that international tourism causes tension rather than promoting understanding between people from different cultures. 

　　The people holding the latter view suppose that tourists are likely to offend the local people because of the lack of knowledge of the local customs, which differ from their own.  Moreover, tourism inevitably harms the natural resources and the cultural legacy, which may lead to the resentment of the local people.

　　However, I can hardly assent to this idea: the above mentioned rarely happens.  In my opinion, international tourism does encourage the understanding between people from different countries.  For one thing, without going to see for themselves, people may never know what other countries are really like and thus can be misled by hearsay or films and TV programmes, which, more often than not, are one-sided.  For instance, one of my American friends told me that most Americans had a strange bias against the Russian people until some young Americans traveled to Russia and saw with their own eyes that the Russians are human beings just like them.  Another example is that, with the development of Chinese tourism, people outside China start to realize that Chinese men no longer have long braids and Chinese women’s feet are of normal size now. Secondly, having seen the fine scenery or experienced the rich culture of other countries, tourists will have the desire to develop a good relationship with the locals, which certainly contributes to the understanding between them.

　　In conclusion, instead of causing tension, international tourism furthers the understanding of people from different countries. (281 words)

　　雅思写作范文一篇（社会类话题）Should rich countries help poorer ones?

　　Today, the world is becoming more and more closely linked. Trade has increased and the movement of people between countries is greater than ever before. However, billions of people still live in poverty, and in many places, the gap between rich and poor is widening. This essay will look at the arguments for and against helping poor countries.

　　There are many reasons for helping poor countries. First of all, there are humanitarian reasons. Like individuals who give to charity, many countries feel it is their religious, social, or moral duty to help people in other countries who are suffering from famine, drought, war, or disease. However, many rich countries also donate money for political or diplomatic reasons. They want to maintain a relationship of dependency with the recipient, or simply to influence the government and direction of the country. A further reason why many countries help poorer ones is for economic reasons. The donors may want to control the supply of commodities such as oil, water, or wheat. Alternatively, the richer country may want to ensure markets for their own products, whether these are planes, computers or shoes.

　　However, aid is not necessarily the best way to help a country. For one thing, billions of dollars of aid often goes missing, into corrupt governments or inefficient administration. A second point is that many foreign aid projects are unsuitable for the target country. Many agencies build huge dams or industrial projects that fail after a few years or that do not involve the local people. Furthermore, much aid returns to the donor. This can be in the form of expensive specialized equipment and experts from the donor country.

　　There are many other ways we can help poor countries. Opening up trade barriers, so that poor countries can sell their goods is one way. Another is to remove subsidies so that imported goods from poorer countries can compete fairly. A third method is to forgive debts. Many poor countries have huge interest repayments on old loans.

　　The needs of the poorer countries may seem obvious. However, although our humanity makes us want to help eliminate poverty and suffering, we must examine the real needs of poor countries and implement solutions that will benefit both them and us.

　　雅思写作范文一篇（教育类话题）Education: Losing Its Value

　　Today, more and more people are attending third level education, and many go on to post-graduate degrees. People specialize in subjects that were not dreamed of a century ago. However, the result has not been an increase in real knowledge, but a cheapening of education. In this essay I will discuss how education has become devalued.

　　Education is now something that can be purchased. Like a powerful new car or an architect-designed house, a degree or a post-graduate degree has become a luxury that everyone wants. But when everybody has something, that thing becomes worthless. Gold is sought after because it is expensive and hard to find, but if everybody changed their attitude to gold, its value would drop.

　　In the same way, education, like the currency of a bankrupt country, is becoming devalued as more people have degrees. It takes ever-higher qualifications to get a job. Once a degree-holder was respected and listened to. Now he or she is just another job-seeker or employee.

　　One effect of the rush towards degrees is that knowledge becomes less important. Other factors, such as influence, are more central in getting a job or a promotion when everyone has a qualification. A further point is that people lose respect for themselves. Since everybody has a degree, even degree-holders feel that what they have is almost worthless. More seriously, the pressure to have degrees results in a drop in quality. When thousands of people study in a college, the professors cannot possibly maintain standards. Furthermore, we need to question whether advanced education is suitable for everyone. Does our entire population really need to spend years in school and college just to do fairly simple jobs?

　　In conclusion, there are many negative aspects to the increased emphasis on qualifications. If we want to maintain the value of education, we need to examine the emphasis we put on degrees.

　　环境类写作考题范文一篇

　　Many people believe that human activity is causing the earth’s temperature to rise.  They say that this global warming will have dreadful consequences for our environment, such as drought and flooding. 

　　What should governments do to help prevent global warming?  Give reasons for your suggestions. 

　　The earth’s temperature is rapidly changing.  As a result there has been a lot of climate change such as heat waves, droughts and floods. Scientists believe that this is the result of human activity, which is polluting the Earth’s atmosphere. This could become a disaster if governments do not act to help prevent global warming. They can act in three ways; by supporting research, by making laws and by keeping the general public informed. 

　　Firstly, governments can support research. For example, they should encourage companies to develop vehicles that cause less pollution.  They should also support alternative sources of electricity from wind and water rather than from oil and coal.  As well, they should sponsor conferences to discuss the effects of greenhouse gas emissions and possible solutions to the problem.   

　　Secondly, they should make laws that limit the amount of greenhouse gases that companies can emit.  Private companies should be rewarded for following these laws.  They should also be punished for creating pollution. 

　　Finally, everybody is affected by global warming.  Therefore, it is important that governments involve individuals in the problem solving process. For example they should encourage households to save as much energy as possible by using more efficient light bulbs or less hot water.  They should also encourage the public to recycle, and this should be compulsory for everyone.  Another way of saving energy is by public transport systems.  Governments should spend money on public transport to make it as easy as possible for the public to save energy. 

　　In summary, it is clear that there are a lot of things that governments can do to prevent global warming.  They should involve companies, support scientists and encourage individuals to protect the planet.

　　Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced?

　　I think it is true that in almost every country today each household and family produces a large amount of waste every week. Most of this rubbish comes from the packaging from the things we buy, such as processed food. But even if we buy fresh food without packaging, we still produce rubbish from the plastic bags used everywhere to carry shopping home.

　　The reason why we have so much packaging is that we consume so much more on a daily basis than families did in the past. Convenience is also very important in modern life, so we buy packaged or canned food that can be transported from long distances and stored until we need it, first in the supermarket, and then at home.

　　However, the amount of waste produced is also a result of our tendency to use something once and throw it away. We forget that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up valuable resources and energy to produce. We also forget that it is a source of pollution and difficult to dispose of.

　　I think, therefore, that governments need to raise this awareness in the general public. Children can be educated about environmental issues at school, but adults need to take action. Governments can encourage such action by putting taxes on packaging, such as plastic bags, by providing recycling services and by fining households and shops that do not attempt to recycle their waste.

　　With the political will, such measures could really reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. Certainly nobody wants to see our resources used up and our planet poisoned by waste.
