1、Private School
(1) 现在社会上有各种各样的私立学校和培训学校；
(2) 私立学校和培训学校的利与弊。
［参考范文］
With the development of the society and economy, there arise a lot of new things. Various Private schools are one of them. When you open newspapers, when you turn on TV, when you walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools. There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, sports , and so on.
However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools concerning their advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, private schools can meet the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition. Were it left to me decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools , I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

2、Is It Necessary to Attend Training Classes
1. State the graph briefly; (图表略)
2. Give the possible reasons for the phenomenon;
3. Your opinion.
［参考范文］
It can be seen from the graph that great changes have taken place in the number of training classes in the past fifteen years. On the one hand, before the 90s, the increase of the training classes was not so great. On the other hand, there has been a sharp increase in the training classes after the 90s.
What are the reasons for the change? There are three reasons for this. First, with the development of the society, more and more people pay much attention to the improvement of their ability, which they hope to improve through special training classes. Second, to most people, training plays a direct part in helping them to attain their goal quickly and efficiently. Third, with the improvement of the people’s living standards, more and more people regard it as a preferable way to spend their spare time.
As far as I am concerned, I think it is necessary to attend training classes. For one thing, they can play a very important role in help you to attain your goal quickly and efficiently. For another, you can learn not only what you need quickly but also a new way to broaden your horizon.
3、Knowledge and Diploma (Fake Diploma)
(1) 目前，在社会上有这样的一种说法，文凭越高越吃香；
(2)而有些人则认为文凭不等于知识；
(3)你的观点。
［参考范文］
With the development of the society, more and more people enroll in the postgraduate examination for getting a high diploma. It is believed that high diploma equals to high ability and profound knowledge. Most companies are inclined to hire the people with high diploma. It seems that having high diploma means a better future.
However, is it really true that high diploma equals to high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on this kind of idea. They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma. Take Bill Gates, the head of the Microsoft, for example, he does not have a MBA degree which is believed to play a vital role in the success in commercial life. Furthermore, Sam Walton of Wal---Mart Stores Inc. does not a MBA degree, but they are the most successful man in commercial.
In my opinion, diploma does not equal to knowledge. A diploma is a piece of paper which establishes your education degree. But your true ability and the real knowledge come from your hard work and endowment. If you got a diploma by dishonest behavior, no matter how high a diploma it is, it were just a piece of paper, and you were as blank as that paper.

Today, English is becoming more and more popular. Many countries have made English taught as the second language in schools. But why do students need English? If they do need, what do they need it for? A survey made by a teacher at a university answers the two questions.
The result of the survey suggests that almost all students need English and they need it for different purposes. Most of the student learn English because they need to read English textbooks or journals and attend English lectures, while only a few students need to use it to talks to English-speaking visitors, attend seminars, write letters, etc. There are also some differences between economics students and engineering students: Compared with engineering students, more economics students need to read English business and to write reports in English.
From the results of the survey, we can see that students learn English different purposes, which varies with different students. Whatever the purposes are, one thing is certain: Students need English, and English teaching should be strengthened in universities.
