Undoubtedly, this change has changed our lives significantly, but I would not say that the changes have improved our lives or our living stand

3、ards.First, food is not healthy, anymore. Today, it is possible to keep food fresher for a longer period of time. Yet, we have to keep in mind that it is possible only because various preservatives and artificial flavorings are added to it.Furthermore, cooking used to be a type of art, which is now

4、dying out. Cooking used to be a means of eliminating stress and tension.

Moreover, these spare minutes will be most probably wasted somehow, as you cannot do a lot of things in about fifteen minutes.To conclude, I would agree that it is easier and faster to pre

This help the people who have busy schedules like the proffesionals

8、and research scientists. So people do not have to schedule much time preparing the food and food can be quickly served. So the change has adapted with the fast life of the people.Also, the people who do not have families and live life singly, particularly the bachelor guys, feel these equipments eas

9、ier and more convenient . Generally they do not have the knowledge of making food dishes, but with the help of the modern machines and technologies they can easily prepare food. So they now prefer to lead life alone rather than in families and concentrates more in their career.But, the machines and

10、equipments have also made people little bit lazy due to the easiness and fastness. People do not work hard to make food, which have the changed the conventional ives and mothers.

It cannot be doubted that our eating style has encountered a revolutionary change in the last few decades. It is the change in the type of food that has had the great

12、est influence. For instance, we can buy frozen food in a supermarket and just prepare it in a couple of minutes, whereas before it could have taken us maybe hours to prepare this kind of meal. Not only have the recipes of certain food types have been altered, but also new ones have been created. Exa

13、mples include yet are not restricted to beef hamburgers, potato chips, ready madeavailable yoghurt, frozen meat and cold drinks. I would accept that this so called improvement changed our lives, but i believe there are some drawbacks as well. It is true that these kinds of food do not involve hard w

14、ork to prepare, but food that is easy to prepare generally has some artificial ingredients mixed in it that makes it easy to prepare. If we take time to read the ingredients, we would definitely come across the words like preservatives or artificial flavorings. Many newly emerged types of food have

15、not the essence of a complete meal as defined by the nutritionists. To add to the problem, these food types are often served alone.

17、ds have made people lazy not only for cooking but also for a well family get together. It was not like former times when families would sit together and eat freshly baked food. With the absence of regular family get together, relationships are likely to be weaker. People think that fast prepared foo

18、d types dp improve our style of life. This opinion comes especially from bust people, working wives, and younger people. They believe that we have many things in life more important than eating. Time spent on food preparation is considered waste by them. Wives will have more time to care of their fa

19、milies souls not just stomachs. Family relationships will get stronger. Business men and women will have more time to concentrate on their arrangements. In general, people will have a greater opportunity to take care of their minds and hearts.I agree with that food preparation should take its necess

20、ary time and care. Otherwise, the time saved in food preparation can lead to longer times of headache or even of staying in hospitals suffering from malnutrition.Score 5.0Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. With this change, people can have a better dinner with fewer efforts and can have mo

21、re time for other activities. This is why, in my point of view, the change has improved the way people live. First of all, people have saved their efforts from cooking. In the past, people have to prepare all the material for cooking themselves, which always occupied too much time. Now, it has chang

22、ed. People can buy half-done food from supermarket, which has simplified the cooking process. What they need to do is to finish the rest of food preparation. Also, more and more convenient cookers have occurred. These cookers have helped to save the cooking time greatly. People do not have to wait f

23、or as a long time as before cooking. In this case, the easier food preparation has improved the way people live.Another reason that this change has improved the way people live is that people can have more time to enjoy other activities. Since people do not have to put as much time as before, they c

24、an plan more other activities. For example, they may do more exercise to build their body, or they can spend more time on their hobbies. In another words, people can spend more time other beneficial things. Therefore, with easier food preparation, the way people lived has been improved.In conclusion

25、, this change has improved the way people live because it has make it easier for people to have a wonderful dinner at home and people can spend more time on their interests. People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased kn

26、owledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.College is a place that the students can learn more and new knowledge and experience in it. Of course, different people have different reason to study in college. For example, som

27、e people want to be to go on a further study after they graduate from the college; some people hope to find a good job after their studying in the college and also some people wish to exchange their present situation through studying in the college. In my opinion, no matter what reason people study

28、in the college for, studying in the college is just a preparation for their future life.First of all, students can learn new knowledge and experiences from the studying in the college. There are many teachers, professors with abundant teaching experience who teach students lots of new knowledge and

29、help them to solve the problems in their study. With their help, student can learn a lot of useful basic and professional knowledge which is very helpful for their future work. And study. After they finish their study in the college, students go to work in the society and contribute to the different

30、 fields.Secondly, students can learn how to arrange their own time reasonably. Before their studying in college, their life often arranged by their parents and their study often arranged by their teachers.It is very different for them to live and study in college, because students studying in colleg

31、e have to arrange their life and study by themselves. They have right to arrange their part time, such as when to get up, when is the sport-time, when to finish the assignment etc. This is very important experience for students work and life in the future.Finally, studying in the college make studen

32、ts having opportunity to live with other student and learn how to cooperate with other people. Usually, people often have uncomfortable feeling to live with a stranger, because they do not know each other and perhaps their habit and personality are different. But for the long run, it is good for the

33、m. They have to cooperate with each other and solve a lot of problems they will face together. Gradually, they can learn how to care and understand other people. It is a preparation for students to go to cooperate with other people in the society.All in all, students not only can learn lots of new k

34、nowledge from the books but also can learn much more necessary experience such as how to arrange time and how to cooperate with other people. It is very important for their future wok and life.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons

35、and examples to support your answer.Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have a very good relationship with my parents. They have supported me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a great deal about how to live my life. Parents can be very important teachers in our lives; however,

36、 they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, they may limit a childs freedom in the name of safety. A teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable new e

37、xperience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.Another problem is that parents may expect their childrens interests to be similar to their own. They cant seem to separate from their children in their mind. If they love science, they may try to force their child to love science too. But

38、what if their childs true love is art, or writing, or car repair?Parents are usually eager to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? Maybe different generations need different ways of thinking. When children are young, they believe that thei

39、r parents are always right. But when they get older, they realize there are other views. Sometimes parents, especially older ones, cant keep up with rapid social or technological changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that his parents have narrow

40、er views. A student who loves computers may find that her parents dont really understand or value the digital revolution. Sometimes kids have to find their own ways to what they believe in.The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our t

41、eachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. The twentieth century has brought

42、 with it many advances. With those advances, human lives have changed dramatically. In some ways life is worse, but mostly it is better. Changes in food preparation methods, for example, have improved our lives greatly. The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gotten too

43、slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttons and a meal is completely cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hours preparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, better things. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods

44、we can buy. Heat them in the office microwave, and lunch at work is quick and easy.Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators and freezers; we can preserve a lot of different foods in our homes. Since technology makes cooking so much faster, people are willing to make several

45、 dishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to let children be picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese on the side. Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habits as well. If they dont want to cook a lot of

46、different dishes, its common now to eat out at restaurants several times a week.Healthful eating is also easier than ever now. When people cook, they can use new fat substitutes and cooking sprays to cut fat and calories. This reduces the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Additionally, we

47、can buy fruits and vegetables fresh, frozen or canned. Theyre easy to prepare, so many of us eat more of those nutritious items daily. A hundred years ago, you couldnt imagine the process of taking some frozen fruit and ice from the freezer, adding some low fat yogurt from a plastic cup and some jui

48、ce from a can in the refrigerator, and whipping up a low fat smoothie in the blender!Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. What .new food preparation technology has given us is more choices. Today, we can prepare food that is more convenient, healthier, and of greater variety than

49、ever before in history.It has been said, Not everything that is learned is contained in books. Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?People always are learning and practicing through their whole li

50、ves. From reading words in text book such as toy, car, train etc. , people have the concept and ideas. They further understand the actual meaning of these words by playing toys and riding or driving cars, trains etc.Education (books) and experience are the main two channels for People to gain their

51、knowledge. Each play different roles for people. In my opinion, knowledge from experience is more important than that from books.Experience first can prove if the knowledge form books are true or false. Textbooks are very wonderful in teaching people essential principles, how is the world looks like

52、? what is the basic law of change of people and things? We can learn a lot through primary school, secondary school until university. However, people can only understand the really meaning of those form books and justify them if they are right through practices. A few hundred years ago, people learn

53、t from text book that the earth was flat. However scientists found that was wrong through observations and measurement.The knowledge from experience can improve and advance the world and our society. As books have limitation, they only teach us the what people found in the past. The knowledge from t

54、he books are constrained to the certain conditions and environment. For example, mould and tools design for plastics industry, the university course only taught me very simple cases, most knowledge are obtained from various different and complicated cases in my career. There are a lot new inventions

55、 and new products which could not be found from textbooks. Our society and world are developed through continuous practices, those knowledge, never found in books, such as internet, e-business etc. are all developed through new practices. The truth comes from practices and experience, people are con

56、tinually discovering new things and assessing the creditability of the knowledge written in books. The knowledge from experience help us much more than those from books.A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of th

57、is new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.New factories often bring many good things to a community, such as jobs and increased prosperity. However, in my opinion, the benefits of having a factory are outweighed by the risks. That is why I oppose

58、 the plan to build a factory near my community. I believe that this city would be harmed by a large factory. In particular, a factory would destroy the quality of the air and water in town. Factories bring smog and pollution. In the long run, the environment will be hurt and peoples health will be a

59、ffected. Having a factory is not worth that risk.Of course, more jobs will be created by the factory. Our population will grow. To accommodate more workers, more homes and stores will be needed. Do we really want this much growth, so fast? If our town is going to grow, I would prefer slow growth wit

60、h good planning. I dont want to see rows of cheaply constructed townhouses. Our quality of life must be considered. I believe that this growth will change our city too much. I love my hometown because it is a safe, small town. It is also easy to travel here. If we must expand to hold new citizens, t
