Today, vast billboards have turned into an indispensable part of our cityscape. Moreover, the proliferation of TV commercial, website ad banner and flyer also exerts profound
influence on our lives. Some argue that advertising has only beneficial impact on our lives. Personally, I think their view has both merit and demerit. 主体段1(小的方面,不少于5句)
Granted, advertising may carry some drawbacks. First and foremost, email spamming could fill up your email box in no time. And many of the junk emails would get your PC infected with viruses, worm or Trojan horses. Furthermore, today a considerable
proportion of advertisements may be fabricated. They convey misleading information that defrauds people of their money.
表示利与弊的英文:Advantages and disadvantages / strengths and weaknesses/ the upside and downside/ pros and cons/ boons and banes. 主体段2(大的方面,不少于7句)
However, the boons advertising can bring about to our lives far outweigh its
disadvantages. In the first place, advertisements get us well-informed about the latest products. They help us narrow down the choice on our shopping lists and make shopping more cost-effective and less time-consuming. In the second place, elaborate
advertisements can be a true art form. There can be no denying that genuinely creative ads can brighter up our lives immensely. Last but not least, non-profit advertising in the print as well as the electronic media can motivate people to contribute to our society. With the help of such ads, charities and environmental conservationists can raise enough funding for the poor and environmental preservation. 结尾段(不少于三句)
In the final analysis, I concede that advertising does not come without some banes.
However, the pro of advertising far outweigh its cons. On balance, I am convinced that we should do is to get this industry better-regulated and ensure that this industry can afford us even more blessing in years to come.

三、Tourism 类 范文
International tourism has become the biggest industry in the world. Some people think it cause tension between people from different culture. Others thing it leads to understanding between countries. To what extend do you agree or disagree
International tourism has been consolidating its status as the foremost export industry in the world. A recent study conducted by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) reveal that international tourism accounted for approximately 11 percent of the world export of goods and services. Yet when it comes to whether this burgeoning industry is a blessing or a curse in terms of international relations, people hold divergent views. Some people argue that it promotes understanding between countries while others contend that it only breed discord. Personally, I think both their views have merit.
Granted, international tourism makes for communication between the tourists and local communities. In the first place, it affords tourists opportunities to experience a foreign culture firsthand. Touring another country is a multi-sensory experience (tourists can see, hear, touch or even smell the exotic things at the destination spots) and it is much more interactive than just peering through a TV or PC screen at another culture. In the second place, the empirical knowledge gained during an overseas journey can help eliminate many of the stereotype tourists have been believing in about the host country. For
instance, a brief sojourn in Saudi Arabia can surely bring a Christian into the realization that not all Muslims are terrorists. On the contrary, most of them are nurturing parents and loving siblings who have strong religious convictions distinct from Christianity. In the third place, international tourism substantially boosts the economy of the recipient country. It generates employment opportunities in retail, hospitality and transportation sectors and augments the tax revenue of the local government. These economic boons can enhance the vitality of the local communities and help build trust between nations.
Nonetheless, international tourism may also create tension between the tourists and
residents in tour destination. To begin with the influx of tourists may be an intrusion upon the lives of many local inhabitants. Tourism is a manifestation of the human desire for variety and for exploration. The majority of international tourists on guided tours value the local for mere photo opportunities and think of everything they see, such as indigenous costumes and accessories worn by the natives, in terms of souvenir potential. Moreover, tourists' sense of superiority, in extreme instances, engenders tourist vandalism and even sexual exploitation, which are utterly disruptive to the local community. Then, the co modification of indigenous heritage makes everything seem fake to the international tourists. Here in Asia it is not unusual that scared rituals are deprived of their spiritual dimensions and the aggressive local vendors leave the tourists apprehensive. Next, international backpackers can be very vulnerable to fraud, mugging or even terrorist attacks due to their unfamiliarity with the destination spots. Lastly, colossal touring populations between countries may severely undermine biodiversity and ecological equilibrium. It is manifest that the trail of non-biodegradable litter international tourists leave behind them and the colossal amounts of fossil fuel consumed in transportation constitute grave environmental hazards to tourist destinations and beyond.
In the final analysis, I concede that international tourism produces opportunities for different nations to communicate and understand their common humanity. However, it may also result in conflict between countries. On balance, I am convinced that we should
encourage mutual sympathy and respect between the tourists and the local denizens and in the meantime promote more culturally-sensitive sustainable tourism.

四、Government 类
范文
政府类 Some people think scientific research should be carried out and controlled by the government instead of private companies. To what extent do you agree or disagree The advancement of modern sciences has spawned a host of boons in our lives. It is no exaggeration that human life has been fundamentally revolutionized by the physical, chemical, biological, environmental or astronomical discoveries and creations over the past few decades. Yet when it comes to who should play the central role in conducting scientific research, people hold divergent views. Some contend that it is the government, rather than the private firms, who should carry out and regulate scientific research. Personally, I think their view has both merit and demerit.
Grandly, the government has a crucial role to play in scientific research. First, corporations are, entities in constant pursuit of maximum profit at the lowest possible cost. As a
consequence, corporate scientific research, if left unfettered, often compromise ethics for
the sake of shareholder wealth. Only the government has the regulatory and enforcement power to ensure that scientific research does not sacrifice public interests for private gains. Secondly, government coordination can help optimize the economic resources allocated to scientific research. Contemporary scientific research often requires colossal amounts of money and substantial researching manpower. Government supervision makes for effective collaboration and healthy competition between companies, warns the privates firms about the potential perils of ill-conceived projects and set priorities—in terms of societal interests.
Nonetheless, it is manifest that corporate scientific research also holds many inherent advantages. To begin with, given the profit-pursuing nature of business, corporate
research typically has well-defined guidelines and objectives for every mission. Unlike government projects that have to weigh and balance competing interests, company research is almost always focused, well-scheduled, well-budgeted, and result-oriented. Secondly, due to the profitability of company research, corporate professionals performing scientific research mostly find themselves better rewarded financially than researchers working for government projects. And this fact, in turn, renders these professionals more motivated in their laboratories. Lastly, private firms are more meritocratic and less likely to be plagued with the bureaucracy characterizing many government agencies. Therefore, corporate research is often more efficient and more productive than its governmental counterpart.
In the final analysis, I concede that government direction can crown scientific research with an ethical compass. Nevertheless, corporate companies hold definite advantages over the government in scientific research with respect to efficiency and productivity. On balance, I am convinced that it should be the private firms who perform scientific research whereas government scrutiny can ensure that these companies are aware of the ethical stakes involved and do not lose sight of the public interests while pursuing their goals.
