7、rally, war is repugnant, but peace is welcome.While peace is the ultimate goal of all of our undertaking in this world, war has been inevitable in the course of human civilization. Does man have an innate taste for war? Or is it just an acquired scheme learned from human society? We only knowthat th

15、大作文與2010 年相同，是圖表作文，不過去年采用曲線圖，今年采用柱狀圖。圖表作文第一段要描述圖表(interpret the cluut) 。認(rèn)真觀察圖表后，用一句話將其反映的現(xiàn)象表達(dá)清楚，立片言以居要；然后引用數(shù)據(jù)，描述圖表。 (英語作文 )本圖表反映的現(xiàn)象是： 2009 年國產(chǎn)品牌汽車的市場份額超過日、美品牌。圖表作文第二段是文章主體，要分析現(xiàn)象背后的原因 (give your comments) ，一般可從兩三個方面展開。以本題為例，對國產(chǎn)品牌汽車的市場份額超過日、 美品牌這一現(xiàn)象， 可從以下幾方面說明： 近年中國國產(chǎn)汽車的性能良好： 國產(chǎn)汽車價(jià)格便宜； 日本汽車近年來質(zhì)量丑聞不斷；

16、日本右翼勢力抬頭使一些中國人不愿買日本汽車， 等等。 如文章到此戛然而止，會讓人感到很突兀， 所以還需給作文加個結(jié)尾段，使文章能渾然一體。就本文而言，第三段可水到渠成提出建議：中國的汽車廠家不應(yīng)沾沾自喜，而應(yīng)繼續(xù)努力。請參閱下面的范文：Domestic automakers outperformed foreign rivals in terms of market share in 2009.

22、rmissiveness of modern parents is surely doing more harm than good.Lax authority over the years makes adolescent rebellion against parents all the more violent. If the young people are going to have a party, for instance, parents are asked to leave the house. Their presence merely spoils the fun. What else can the poor parents do but obey?Children are hardy creatures (far hardier than the psychologists would have us believe) and most o
