To solve the problems present and future, is it necessary to understand the past.
Agree:
为什么我们要参观博物馆和保留老建筑，因为他们不仅是symbols of traditional culture, 也让我们learn from the past。为什么我们要学习历史课程，因为我们要earn from the past。为什么我们要有历史电视剧，因为我们要earn from the past。 从过去，我们可以学习到很多东西。我们知道为什么这么做不能成功，为什么这么做能够事半功倍。evidence Forbidden City
比如爱迪生，做很多实验，但是每次做实验之前，还要看看别人曾经做过类似实验没有，得到了什么教训，然后再设计新的实验，以免时间和金钱上面的浪费。比如很多人写论文，有个现象，就是世界上同一个时代的人往往他们并没有碰面，却正在做同一个研究，甚至同一个时刻出结果，因为，他们都刚刚研究了别人的论文，知道这个领域刚好处于这个阶段。
中国的古人有记录历史的习惯，所以我们有了很好的资料可以参考。甚至，很多别的国家，比如印度，都需要玄奘的大唐西游记来找到自己的历史。同时，很多考古学家在寻找某个遗址之前，都要先研究历史。Tang Xuan Zang； Western Regions
比如比萨斜塔，我们都知道是一个著名的世界奇迹。很多科学家都希望来拯救它，他们用了很多很多办法，花了很多钱，可是每一次都以失败告终，甚至引起了世界的愤怒。在2000年之后，他们终于采用了传统的一种方法，从北边地下挖掉一部分土，很快就起到了一定的效果。而这个办法，不仅100多年前有人提出来过，1960以后也有人提出来，但是都被埋没在了大堆的资料中。现在的比萨斜塔，经历了很多人的折腾，加了铅块lead weights，加了钢缆steel cable，也封闭了人们参观的大门。

⒋广告使产品看上去比它们实际的要好。
Agree:  (listening material)
1. advertisement use celebrity as representation;  shampoo  
2. let people buy those they don’t really need;
3. many ad are immoral, they overrate their real effect. Exaggerate; mislead consumer.
广告往往为了突出反映它的某方面效果，并不会讲其反面效果体现出来。因为如果那样，公众有可能就不购买它。比如，一个新型的使用太阳能电池的汽车，重点要广告的是它的节能和环保效果，但是别的方面，比如重复可以使用的次数，适用的范围等，并不一定都反映出来。在比如
广告为了让观众喜欢，往往请名人做广告，比如为了突出一个汽车的品牌价值，它可能让你感觉买了它，你就有了地位，你就有了美女，你就有了名望。人们正是因为这一点，往往买一些自己并不真正需要的东西。被误导。
再次，广告为了表现他的特点，经常夸大效果。比如洗发香波广告，经常让模特做了很多次头发护理，然后出来代言洗发水，实际上，没有任何一个洗发水可以兼带洗发和深层护理的效果。要知道，我们平常特别护理一次头发，需要在理发厅待多长时间！有的广告甚至为了突出它的环保，让代言人表现吃一些拖地的蜡。让我感觉实在太夸张了。Shampoo    护发素Conditioner
广告还经常让孩子误导孩子，孩子经常被广告中漂亮的画面吸引，要求家长买不必要的东西。比如都知道肯德基的油炸食品fried food不适合孩子吃，可是孩子们都觉得肯德基爷爷很可亲，肯德基的鸡――奇奇很可爱，还经常教孩子们吃健康食品。再比如说，口香糖和果冻都不是适合孩子吃的，可是广告把他们表现的太好太理想了，孩子们总是觉得那个东西很棒，他们一定要试试。
Despite the opinion that most advertisements make the products seems more ridiculous than what it really is adopted by majority, I, however, holding a different viewpoint, firmly maintain that most advertisements make the products seems much better. To be specific, advertisements, show the merits instead of the bad qualities of the production, if any, with the computer technical improvement. The following paragraphs will strengthen the side I have taken.  
Firstly, advertisements always give a kind of information to audiences that "our products are good enough to show them on TV/radio/newspaper". Because people can see advertisements everywhere, such as through media and on the wall, people will have an obscure impact on the product. When people want to figure out what the product is, the purpose of the advertisements accomplishes. Also, some people may think that if the product can be shown on different medium, it should be true and have a good quality. For example, when an advertisement of apple is on and people are watching it, some of them will think the apple is good enough to be shown to everybody and there is a high possibilty that the apple is delicious.
Secondly, along with the development of the science and technology, the computer skills of people develop a lot. We people can find most of the advertisements are improved by the computer techniques. Sometimes when we watch a drink advertisement, we can see the drink flies on the sky and travels trough from Pekin, Illinois to Peking, China. The technique makes advertisements attractive, inviting, and popular. When people watch these kinds of advertisements, they will think something like "Oh god, look at the amazing bottle with a man on it!" Though some people say they don't like advertisement, they still will pay attention on the real creative advertisements because of the fantastic scenes with the computer techniques.  
Last but not the least, advertisements devotes to show the benifits of the products, not the bad qualities. As a result, no advertisements will tell audience the disadvantages of their products and if so, they are obviouly recognized stupid. So when people are watching an advertisements, all of the advantages and attractive things will be shown on the screen or newspaper, and people will really like some of the good qualities. Giving the example of the apple advertisements agian, in the ads an apple is shown to be bright and red and probably there will be a beautiful lady biting the apple with her ruby lip and then makes some sounds to show how delicious the apple is. When people watch this, the advertisements improve the taste of the apple and people can fell the taste even. This makes the product seems much better.
To sum up, the advertisements are not just advertisements any more nowadays. They become a kind of art and they will show all the people the good characters of their products. That makes the products seem much better than what they are in fact.


Recently there is a growing awareness of the lacking of authenticity in some kinds of products’ advertisements. Argues centered on the topic are fierce, that whether advertisements make products appear better than they really are. As far as I am concerned, I believe advertisements do make products seem better for the following two reasons.
Among the significant reasons that sustain my view is that advertisements are made to enable product to become more competitive than other similar products. So many goods are manufactured by factories that they resemble each other on each aspect and this phenomenon leads to cut-throat competitions. Hence advertisements are used to make products appear better than other products in order to attract more customers. To achieve this goal, many methods are tried such as inviting a popular star.
Equally important is another reason that advertisements only tell people about the advantages of the products without mentioning weak points. Manufacturers are certainly not willing to let potential customers know about the shortcomings of their products, or the customers will not buy theirs and head for other ones; consequently they only talk about how good the products are in the advertisements, even though the defect really matters. An example is that once I believed the advertisement of a laptop computer and I bought one, not until I really worked on it did I find that it had a severe thermal dissipation problem.
However, sometimes it may not be the advertisement that makes products seem better; it can be the customers that disappoint themselves. Over expectation is common, so there may be a gulf between their expectation and reality. For instance, one’s favorite singer appears in one advertisement of some certain products, and then he would think the products are of great quality since he is really fond of this singer. In this situation, we can not say they are all advertisements’ faults.
Due to the reasons I have listed above, I believe in these days, most of the advertisements are making products appear better than they really are. Only by this way can an advertisement meet the interests of manufacturers and merchants.

Do you agree or disagree: Advertisements are a waste of company’s money and energy because consumers know what they want to buy.
Disagree:
1消费者并不一定知道他们要买什么，广告是一种宣传新产品的手段，而且公司要推广品牌，要获得消费者的忠实度，没有广告是不行的。
2关键是怎么合理的使用广告费用，针对特定的消费群体找到合理的媒体打广告。比如说，某个产品针对老师的。我们首先要制定合理的机会，了解media, money, market, message.（略）
有了合理的广告budget，我们需要制定how spend it wisely，research is the key.比如sports equipment。 （参考tpo11）
3好的广告可以正确表达产品的功能，也不致于引起误解。有的时候，pump, soup shop like feet. 才能正确做好广告。

It is important to students to understand ideas and concepts than it is for them to learn facts.
In spite of the opinion that to understand ideas and concepts is more important than to learn facts for students adopted by major, I, holding an opposite viewpoint, however, firmly maintaian that to learn facts is more pivotal for students. To be specific, learning facts has many advantages to help students. The following paragraphs will strengthen the side I have taken.
To begin with, primary among the arguments for my view is the relationship between concepts and facts. It is no doubt that concepts result from facts. In another word, people do research on the facts and then they figure out the concepts for the facts. So here it appears one problem. Concepts probably can show a principle of the facts but nobody can be sure whether the concepts are exactly right forever. For instance, Aristotle stated that of two objects which have the same volume, the heavier one drops faster than the lighter one. This concept was accepted for thousands years until Galileo contradicted it. Facts are changing and no one can say, "This concept is exactly and perfect right."
Another equally important are appications and creations. Why do we need to study? Because we need to use the knowledge to solve vary kinds of problems. When I was a little boy, I did not know how to ride a bike. My mother taught me to do it. I sat on the bike and I fell down many times, but finally I got it. I learned how to ride a bike by doing it over and over and I am sure I cannot do it if I just learn some concepts and ideas about the bike. Also, to study the ideas and concepts limits creations and innovations. When a kid sees a circle on the blackboard, he may say it is an egg or a moon. However, if I tell the kid it is zero, then the kid won't think the circle looks like an egg or a moon any more. Therefore, learning facts is a good teacher.
Besides the two points mentioned above, I would like to add one more that is readily discernible. It gets more fun to learn facts instead of understanding ideas and concepts, and this will improve the interests of studying. Most of the students in China absorb knowledge from books and they feel bored. As a result from sitting in the classroom and listening to the teachers, students reduce their interests of studying and they think learning is a boring process. To take another side, the students in US like to study because  they can do lots of experiments and they absorb the knowledge mainly from facts. It follows that students in US are assimilating to study and those in China are assimilated to do the same thing. And I think this is why China is still a developing country but states  has already been a developed country.
To sum up, it is more improtant for students to learn facts than to understand ideas and concepts
另一篇：
Learning plays a vital role in our whole life. People are always searching for a method to study efficiently? Which one is more important, concepts and ideas or facts, people's opinions vary. Some hold the idea that it is easy for us to study if we have learnt the concepts and ideas behind the facts; while others think that learning the facts by heart demonstrates the true learning. As far as I am concerned, I agree that both of them are indispensable for us to study well.
In some cases, memorizing the facts are necessary for us to acquire knowledge. According to the investigations by scientist, a great amount of knowledge could be attributed to our memory. Some knowledge could be only achieve by learning the facts. All of us have the experience of reciting the multiplication table. If we fail to learn it first by memorizing it completely, it is impossible for us to finish a simple calculation, not to mention to develop the mathematics into other fields. What's more, if we ignore the study of facts, we may be trapped into confusion. For instance, for the studies of science, it is necessary for us to remember the fundamental scientific laws and equations first. So, we should attach importance to the facts.
In other cases, merely by learning the facts cannot work well. Some knowledge should best be get the concepts and ideas before achieving the facts. Concepts and ideas help us to comprehend the knowledge better. Take the study of periodic table in chemistry for example, it will be more effective if we learn the relationships and difference of elements other than just learn it by heart. Furthermore, too much facts will make us bored. As to the learning of philosophy and literature, the concepts and ideas seems much more interesting and easily to be accepted. In this respect, learning the concepts and ideas is also indispensable in some studies.
Overemphasizing either concepts and ideas or facts will be opposite to the true meaning of study. Too much emphasis on concepts and ideas may make us confused or even doubtful of useful knowledge; overestimate the role of learning facts might lose the interest of study. In a word, as to which one is more important depends on different subjects. In most of the cases, both ideas and facts should be regarded together.

⒎telephone or television has more effects on human living.
Television:
1. share idea; fashion;
2. more information, news, broad ken;
3. advertisement; foreign culture
电话和电视都对我们的生活产生了重大的影响。电话，使我们交流更加容易，发个短信我们就可以问候亲人。相比之下，但是电视却给我们更大的改变。首先，电视使人们认识整个世界，我们有了共享的话题，共同的时尚追求。其次，电视给我们教育的平台。家庭VIDEO可以记录孩子成长的每一刻，一些儿童教育类节目可以使孩子学习更有兴趣，效率更高。甚至，还有电视电话，可以让我们直接通过电视屏幕进行交流。当我们看到亲人的脸，会感到更多的亲密性。最后，电视有很多科技，历史，以及hard news，天气预报，可以让我们随时关注国内外发生的一切。这些，电话都做不到。
Owing to the highly development of science and technology, people’s lives are become increasingly comfortable and convenient. Telephone and television, which are both the most representative products of the past century, have influenced our lives styles greatly. As far as I am concerned, compared to the effects of telephone, the influence of television on our lives are much more impressive.
We can list a lot of advantages of telephone so as to make a comparison with the effects of television. The telephone provides an amazing platform for people from different places of the world to communicate through the line. To send a message to another person, people no longer to travel to another place or waiting for letters. Compared to the traditional letter, the telephone also has the advantage of voice communication and passion could be passed.
However, when compared to the effects of television, the above advantages are of less significance. The television is superior to telephone from several points. People could be well informed by the help of television. To illustrate the point, one should think of our everyday life. Most of the information we get are from the news on television. What’s more, with the adding of voice and images, the television are much suitable to spread the information. For example, to convey the ideas of Chinese Military Exhibition, watching the program through television is the best choice. In this respect, television has more good points by spreading the information.
In addition, the television is an excellent time killer for most of us. If we have nothing to do in our sparing time, sitting on the sofa and watching our favorite program on television is very comfortable. Almost every family has several televisions because they become a necessary part in our lives. I cannot image our lives would be without of television. In short, the television has the effect to make our lives more colorful and is an indispensable part for entertainment.
To conclude, both telephone and television have great effects on our everyday lives: the telephone helps us to communicate easily and the television makes us well informed and gives us a more comfortable life. For my perspective, I maintain that the television has more effects on our lives.

With the highly development of technology, it is much more convenient for people to move to another place. Whether to stay at one place for a life time, different people have different ideas. Some people prefer to live in the city or country all life, while others want to move during their life periods. As far as I am concerned, I agree with the second opinion, I would like to move to a new place after several years' residence.
People who reside at one place for long time may cause a lot of problems, especially for the young people. During the old days, it is very difficult for people to move because of the poor transportation and their pursuit for stability. Even if they hope to own a new house far from the hometown, the reality prevents them from moving. But now, things have been very different. Long time living in one place may make people feel bored and even depressed. Most people may be tired of their lives, searching for new place will help them to own better feeling, which is good to their health.
People will get more opportunities of their career due to the change of place. If people cling to a place, they may lose a lot of chances for development. For example, it is known that the developed cities are the best choice for studying and business, people who studied and do business in these cities are able to acquire success with the help of best resource. In this respect, if it is possible, people should make some change of the residence.
It is a good opportunities for people to experience the new sightseeing and culture. Some may argue that travelling is also a good choice to get touch with the new things in other place. However, sometimes, it is impossible for people to be impressed by the beautiful scenery or cultural value. It takes time for people who are interested to the new place. For instance, Beijing is seen as a amazing city not only for its gorgeous history and incomparable modernization. To know the city well, living in the city for several years is sensible. Residing in another place will give us a lot of chance to acquire a lot of knowledge.
We could get a lot of inspiration and knowledge of culture by moving to new places. While if we live at one place all life, people will feel bored. To conclude, people should move to another place to reside during the life time.

呵呵, 12月12日考中了这篇作文. 今天临时起了个提纲写的. 大致如下:

1.现在的父母教育背景好,更加注重关心孩子的心理问题和身体问题. 有了网络, 可以咨询. 有事及时和老师联系跟踪孩子学习和心理状况. 父母努力做到孩子做错事情,不惩罚孩子,而是让孩子自己知道哪儿错了, 为什么错了, 并改正. 正如saying所说, 给人以鱼不如给人以渔.

2. 现在每对父母孩子的个数比50年前少了,所以给每个孩子更多时间来关爱. 父母专门给孩子开通了网络博客和孩子进行沟通, 避免造成孩子抵触. 过去一对父母很多个孩子,且生活状况开支不抵, 父母忙着基本生活, 甚至让大孩子照顾小孩子.

3. 孩子和父母可以通过更多方式进行沟通. 比如上幼儿园的孩子的画面, 父母在工作时候可以在线关注. 等等, 有些忘了. 最后一共写了458个word. 应该够了吧?

The parents play an important role in the offspring's whole life. It is undeniable that the parents are the earliest teachers of their children. Considering the importance of the education from parents, it is necessary for the parents to understand their children well. However, the situation is not optimistic. I agree with the claim that the parents do not understand their children as well today as parents understood their children 50 years ago.
Nowadays, the parents fail to understand their children well because they have less time to contact with their children. Although the development of science and technology has made our life more convenient and we become more efficient, people are getting busier. It is true that we are able to finish our work at 8 hours, however, we should work in more spare time even holiday to get a career advancement. To adapt to the fierce competition, everyone should prepare well, otherwise, he will lose the competition. The direct effect of this is the decrease of time spending with families. As a result, compared with the families 50 years ago, parents has less time to communicate with their children and can not understand the offspring better.
The increase of the generation gap is also negative to the understanding between the parents and children. Children are exposed in a society with developed technology and diverse cultures. In contrast, their parents may still keep the old thinking. The difference of the cultural background could prevent the meaningful communication from two generations. For example, the Chinese children are fond of American music, Japanese suits and Korean food and they may despise the life styles of their parents. The contact between the parents and children can hardly make sense and it lead to the lack of understanding.
Owing to the less time to communicate and increased generation gap, it is apparently that the parents could not understand their children as well today as they did before. In order to develop a harmony in families and the development of the children, it is necessary for the profound understanding between each part.
