“throw-away” society This is a practice of IELTS writing exam. Question: Many people say that we have developed into a "throw-away" society, because we are filling up our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? My essay: Disposable goods like single-use plastic bags are widely use in our daily life. There are some people argue that we have developed into a “throw-away” society. I truly agree this idea. The using of disposables goods has a great impact on the environment. Try to image that if everyone uses a dental floss or a plastic bag a day. How many rubbish will be thrown away a day? Nevertheless the fact is that we are throwing far more than a dental floss or a plastic bag each day. In addition, disposable goods are mainly made by plastic and wood. It will take a long time for plastic degradation and trees regrow. So disposables are truly polluted our environment. Other people may argue that we had the technology of garbage recycling. The rubbish can be disposed completely and if we use that we would not developed a “throw-away” society. However, we can not recycle all the rubbish though we have that technology. Not everyone can classify the garbage consciously. And developing countries may not be able to afford the cost of recycling. The costs of recycling are far more than buying reusable things. In sum, I hold the view that we had developed into the “throw-away” society. We have to control our desire of using disposables and use reusable things to replace it. For example, environment-friendly bag is a good choice to replace plastic bags. Plus, governments can enforce stricter laws to control the use of single-use-only things at the same time.

“一次性文化”作文思路 Many people say that we have developed into a "thorw-away" society, because we are filling up our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 赞同： 1.一次性用品比如纸巾、塑料袋、一次性茶杯等等在我们的生活中已经被广泛使用；有些人认为我们已经进入“一次性”社会。我同意这个观点 2.赞同理由1：一次性物品的使用已经对环境造成了很大的污染。support：想想我们自己每天需要用到的一次性用品，假设我们每个人一天喝一瓶矿泉水，用一个塑料袋，使用三只牙签或者牙线，世界七十亿人口每天将会产生多少垃圾。而这些垃圾大部分是塑料，塑料很难降解；而另一类是木制品，树木需要很长的生长周期，所以使用一次性用品是对环境的极大破坏。 3.有人可能认为现在已经有垃圾分类和垃圾回收技术，我们使用的一次性用品可以被回收再利用，只要这样的技术运用得好，我们不会成为“一次性”社会。 4.然而就算我们有垃圾回收技术，但是也不可能完全利用这些一次性用品。况且并不是所有人都能做好垃圾分类，也不是所有国家都有能力承担垃圾回收利用的资金。就算利用垃圾回收技术，这样的消耗仍然远大于我们使用重复使用的用品的消耗来得多。 5.总之，我觉得我们确实已经步入了“一次性社会”。我们必须通过提高环保意识，尽量不使用一次性用品，已经政府控制使用一次性用品的方式来改善现状。

violent movies and computer games This is a writing practice of IELTS test. Question: Nowadays, films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people think those films and games have negative effects on society and should be banned, while others think they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both views and give your opinion. Adding violent elements in movies and computer games is a effective way to attract people using by movies director and computer games maker. There are conflicting views on whether those films and games should be banned or not. Those who believe violent movies and games should be prohibited hold the view that adolescents will misunderstand the main ideas of movies. Many children can not comprehend what is justice in those movies. Instead, they just imitate the forcible actions. They consider themselves as the heroes in the movie, so they can punish bad person whatever they want. In addition, those movies and games may cause adolescents’ mentally precocity. Violence plots will take out their imaginations of the beautiful world. They try to deal with things like a boss in the movies because they want to be one in their own life. Others people argue that those movies and games are just entertainment. There are few people will live in the fictional world. Violence elements in movies can make audience feel excited and they can help to release pressure. And some violence plots can be impressive and revealing, which can trigger audiences’ sympathy for the suffer and appreciations of heroes. In sum, there are some truth in both of them. Adding some violence elements in movies and games is a great way to attract audiences. But for adolescents and children, it is really harmful. So I think the best way to keep the balance is to enforce the laws of rating films and computer games.
