Under the new system, a students household registration determines which school he would be admitted to. For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on A Balanced Education. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【范文】 A Balanced EducationIt can be inferred from the picture above that the enrollment policy of compulsory education in China an automatic selection according to ones registered residence wade signed to ensure that every child, regardless their family background and social status, can enjoy equal chance.Admittedly, with such a policy, students no longer have to take examination and schools can no longer pick the students they deem most potential. Students will be judged only by their registered address, not their intelligence. Nevertheless, in my opinion, these measures are only palliatives. The reason why parents and children have been competing for all these years is that the educational resources are unevenly distributed in China. Some of the schools recruit better teachers and possess better equipment while others dont. One of the most obvious results of the current enrollment policy is a surge in the price of the real estate that guarantees enrollment to a more promising school.It is no denying that this policy would work within a short period of time. But to sustain the balance in education, the government should probably put more money in cultivating outstanding teachers and encouraging them to support education in less developed regions.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】第一段介紹了新的招生辦法和作用；第二段先揚(yáng)后抑，表達(dá)一定贊同后擺出自己的觀點(diǎn)；第三段再次重申從長遠(yuǎn)來看先行方法有不足，并提出建議。第一段中enrollment policy意為“招生政策”，compulsory education意為“義務(wù)教育”，automatic意為“自動(dòng)的”，be designed to意為“目的是”；第二段中palliative意為“緩和劑”，unevenly意為“不平均地”， distribute意為“分配”,promising意為“有前途的”；第三段中It is no denying that意為“不可否認(rèn)的是”，sustain the balance意為“保持平衡”。 3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Time Spent on Housework.

Overall, regardless of the employment status, the amount of time women spend on housework dropped slightly in 2005 and rallies in 2015 whereas that of men increased by 0.5 in total.Women with no employment spend the most time on housework in all three years and then umber fluctuates slightly from 7 hours in 1995 to 6.5 hours in 2005, and returns to 7 in 2015.

You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【范文】Handle Criticism and Compliments ProperlyWhat we can see from the picture above is that a salesman in an office trying to promote a kind of hearing aid says: “Its a special hearing aid. It filters out criticism and amplifies compliments.” Funny though it sounds, it reflects the improper way of handling criticism and compliments, which is not uncommon among some people.There is no doubt that criticism can sometimes do harm to peoples confidence and dignity and compliments can be encouraging. However, it is improper, even wrong to simply reject criticism and amplify compliments. On the one hand, criticism has a tremendous value for ones growth and development as a human being, such as helping people to know their defects and adding to ones self-knowledge, stopping one from erring, etc. On the other hand, compliments, especially deceptive ones made on purpose, will lead to blind optimism, which will hinder one from making right judgments, decisions or choices.To conclude, one cannot simply take a negative attitude toward criticism and welcome compliments excessively. A proper way is to accept pertinent and beneficial criticism and refuse insincere compliments.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】第一段先描述圖畫，引出現(xiàn)象；接下來詳細(xì)論證批評(píng)與贊美的兩面性；結(jié)尾段總結(jié)，提出正確的做法。第一段中promote意為“推銷”， hearing aid意為“助聽器”，filter out意為“過濾”，amplify意為“放大”；第二段中dignity意為“尊嚴(yán)”，improper意為“不恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?，tremendous意為“巨大的”，erring意為“犯錯(cuò)誤”， deceptive意為“欺騙性的”；第三段中excessively意為“過度地”，pertinent意為“中肯的”。 5.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the picture below.

On one hand, it is convenient for smart phone users to have so many apps. They can surf the Net through apps to do whatever they want: buying things, chatting with their friends, receiving emails, having video conferences, reading books, and watching films, etc. On the other hand, the side effects caused by apps cannot be undervalued. Firstly, it may lead to message leakage. Secondly, the rubbish files produced by apps may slow down the running speed of smart phones. Thirdly, overuse of smart phones will be harmful for ones physical and mental health. Smart phone users are engrossed in their screens and are isolated from the outside world, ignoring everything around them.To conclude, apps should be utilized wisely.

The outstanding teaching stuff and updated machines encourage college students to learn quickly and efficiently.However, others hold the completely opposite opinion. They think college education helps students to develop healthy personality, gives students opportunities to live with others and learn to cooperate with others. In addition, universities aim to train students to think independently.From my perspective, colleges are places to test yourself, to explore your interest sand to see what the possibilities are.

Hard work promises fruitful result.Actually, life is filled with ups and downs. Meanwhile, it goes beyond doubt that under no circumstances should we avoid challenges or responsibilities. When confronted with difficulties, we should be optimistic and learn to see the bright sides.

Just as the picture above shows, every change people made means a step to further success. Frequent job-hopping offers people more chances of realizing self-value. Whats more, it makes their life become more colorful and attractive.Still others hold a completely opposite attitude towards this issue. They think that the longer people work in a particular field, the more skillful he will be and more chances of promotion he will have. Besides people are more likely to become specialists in the fields and make great achievements.As far as I am concerned, too frequent job-hopping should not be encouraged since frequent moves suggest a lack of loyalty. When job-hopping, people shouldnt blindly follow others. Contrarily, they should ponder over the following basic questions carefully: Why do you want to find a new job? What kind of jobs do you really like? Then make out plans for career development, and think beforehand all those related with job-hopping. Only with all things are done can people really take action.【點(diǎn)評(píng)】文章第一段描述圖畫內(nèi)容，指出現(xiàn)在很多人不斷更換工作，認(rèn)為每一次改變都是一個(gè)新的開始，會(huì)將他們帶入人生另一個(gè)高峰；第二段指出另一部分人反對(duì)頻繁跳槽，認(rèn)為只有長時(shí)間待在某一職位上才可能取得成就；第三段作者結(jié)合自身的觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為頻繁的跳槽不值得提倡，在跳槽前需仔細(xì)考慮清楚，防止盲目跟風(fēng)。第一段中a broader future意為“更廣闊的前途”, realizing self-value意為“實(shí)現(xiàn)自身價(jià)值”；第二段中are more likely to 意為“更可能”，in a particular field意為“在某項(xiàng)領(lǐng)域”；第三段中 a lack of loyalty意為“缺乏忠誠度”，blindly follow意為“盲目跟從”，ponder over意為“思考”。10.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Is Cutback on TV Entertainment Necessary following the outline below.
