剑8 test 1 task 2

Children should be taught about how to be good members of the society, but who are

responsible for this important task? Some people believe that parents should do this job,

whereas others think that school is the right place.

For those who point to the parents, they indeed have valid reasons. Children spend a large

amount of time with their parents, who are also the very first teacher to the children. Even from

birth, children start to feel and learn how to be a member of a family, and the society is consisted

of millions of families. After the child reaches school age, he or she spends every evening and

weekend with their parents, and such valuable times are often spent reading or playing together.

The intimate two to one relationship between the child and the parents strongly affect the child’s

character and his/her social belief. Being the child’s ever first teacher and friend, the parent

should take up the responsibility because they enjoy the closest relationship with the child and

their teaching is very likely to be effective.

On the other hand, some also believe that children should learn how to be good members of the

society at school. This claim also appears reasonable. It is in the school where children learn how

to interact with others and how to cope with emotions such as anger and sadness. Also, after

they reach school age, students spend most of their time in the school. Teachers set models for

their students and if school could instill good belief into the teaching process, children will surely

learn the correct knowledge about how to be a member of the society.

In my opinion, both of the above factors are important for helping a child to build the correct

concept. Parents and school should work together and communicate frequently in order to

monitor a child’s mental growth. This is probably the most effective way to guide a child on the

journey to become a good member of the society.

剑桥雅思8 test 2 Task 1

Pie charts - UK school spending

The pie charts show the changes in annual spending by a UK school in 1981, 1991 and 2001.

From the charts we can see that staff salaries accounted for most of the spending during each of

the 3 years. While teachers’ salaries remained quite stable in the range of 40% to 50%, other

workers salaries’ decreased from 28% in 1981 to 15% in 2001.

Spending on resources such as books and on furniture and equipment fluctuated in the 3 years,

but in different trend. The school spent 15% of its money on resources in 1981 and this figure

increased to 20% in 1991, before dropping to 9% in 2001. On the other hand, 15% of the capital

in 1981 was spent on furniture and equipment, but the figure dropped to 5% in 1991 and

increased significantly to 23% in 2001.

Spending on insurance had a minimal increase from 1981 to 1991: it rose from 2% to 3%. But

obviously it became a more important factor of the school’s spending in 2001, when insurance

occupied 8% of the school’s total spending.

剑桥雅思8 test 2 task 2 technology changes the relationship between people

Technology has redefined various aspects of our lives including the manner in which people

interact with each other. With the invention of mobile phones and the internet as well as social

networking websites, communication as become so easy that some describe our world as being

bombarded by information. These new inventions have undoubtedly benefited us in many

respects, but at the same time some of their negative side effects can not be ignored.

On a personal basis, new technology not only helped us to connect with our loved ones more

frequently and cheaply, it sometimes could be life-saving. Messages sent on tweeter could be

viewed instantly by all your friends who may take immediate action to save your life. But on the

other hand, there have also been complaints from parents who find a more distant and colder

relationship with their children. Although young people may be spending more time at home

nowadays, they simply sit in front of the computer screen whole day, apart from meal time. In

fact this problem has also been noted by researchers, doctors and teachers, because more and

more young people now lack the ability to interact properly with real people in the real world – in

other words, people are now “isolated” by computers to some extent.

On a wider scale, the new styles of interaction between people have brought revolutionary

changes to our society. For example, many universities now provide online courses, during which

students could sit in their home watching a lecture that is held on the other side of the planet.

Multinational corporations are saving millions of pounds on travelling costs thanks to online

video phone calls. But while we enjoy all these advantages, we are also suffering from a new life

style that is manifested by high pressure and fast pace. Many companies now require their

employees to be accessible 24-7; you can also find people in Beijing working at midnight because
