4、factors. The incidence of school frustration and failure and the exposure to harmful websites contribute to the probability of a child committing a criminal act. Therefore, its sheer unfair to say care for their children. Second of all, it is now accepted that young women should find work on leaving
5、 home. They continue working since they face the financial pressures of setting up a house and establishing a reasonable standard of living.

Although the elimination of smoking in public places
16、is an attack on smokers freedom, it is a reasonable action to protect non-smokers right to be away from passive smoking.First of all, everyone knows that smoking is a health hazard, which affects not only the smoker himself, but also all the people around him. In fact, researchers tell us that many
17、diseases, such as lung cancer and heart disease, are related to breathing “second hand” smoke. Smokers should bear in mind that the smoke is detrimental to the health of those around them, although they do not intend this. For the second reason, it is widely accepted that the hallmark of a civilized
18、 society is the willingness of citizens to give up their freedom for the common good. We all give up our freedom to walk in the roads which cars use, and the freedom to listen to loud music at night, and so on. No smoking in pubic is a sign of civilization, and therefore it is very sensible to give
19、up the freedom to pollute the air we must all breathe.In conclusion, the limitation of smoking is beneficial both to smokers and non-smokers. Therefore, banning smoking in public places is an applaudable practice.这篇作文是一篇典型的论说文,题目只以问题的形势给出,因此,首先需要考生在第一段回答问题,应该还是不应该?政府到底应不应该在公共场所禁烟?或者说支持不支持政府在公共场所禁烟?虽

21、 more money than people in other professions. The income of some pop stars can reach high beyond our imagination. In my opinion, this is unfair and pop stars should not be given such a high salary.First of all, salaries should reflect a persons contribution to society. Compared with people in other
22、important professions such as doctors, teachers and scientists, pop stars do not contribute as much and therefore so not deserve to a higher salary. In other words, we should value the talents who promote the welfare of the society rather than pop stars. Secondly, with the quick-earned money, pop st
