Museums charge for admission Question: Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages. Some of museums charge for admission while others are open to public for free. I tend to agree with that the disadvantages of charging for admission outweigh the advantages.Charging people for admission reduces the number of visitors while improve the quality of visiting service. People may lose their chance to visit museums if they have to pay for tickets. In other word, poor people cannot know about the culture of the world because they have not enough money to buy tickets. A survey by the Beijing University showed that the number of visitors are three times as many in free museums as in museums that need to pay for visiting. This means that museums that charging for admission diminish poor's opportunities to gain a better understanding of our world and to broaden their minds. On the other hand, museums can provide higher quality service if they gain money from the tickets. For example, they can hire some interpreters to guide visitors around the museum to explain the history about artworks such as paintings, statues, wares and music. Also, people can have a better mood in appreciating the masterpieces in a spacious place than in a crowded place. It can help people to gain more knowledge about history and technology in a comfortable atmosphere. In conclusion, although it is important for people to enjoy their visiting, museums cannot take the chance of learning cultures and gain knowledge away from the poor. Museums should encourage people to visit as a social service institution.

The life cycle of salmon Question: The diagrams below show the life cycle of a species of large fish called the salmon. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparison there relevant. The process diagrams illustrate the life cycle of salmons which are large fishes. There are three main stage of salmons' life cycle. At the first stage, there are just salmon eggs lying around small stones under reeds in upper river where water moves slowly. After five to six months, they become fries. At the second stage, fries live in lower river which flow fast for four years, the fries become smolts. Then smolts swim to open sea living there for five years and then they grow up to be adult salmons. However, they have to go back to upper river to lay eggs to keep the life cycle continue. There are three shapes of salmons' life process. Salmons are called fry when they are only three to eight centimeters.Then they grow up to smolts which are twelve to fifteen centimeters. At the last, they become bigger as adult salmons which are seventy to seventy-six centimeters. In summary, salmons linve in three different environments with three different sizes of their body. They spend their whole life from upper river to open sea to sustain their life cycle.

Academic vs non-academic subjects Question: With the pressures on today’s young people to succeed academically, some people believe that non-academic subjects at school(eg: physical education and cookery) should be removed from the syllabus so that children can concentrate wholly on academic subjects. To what extend do you agree or disagree? Nowadays, young people have an amount of pressure with achieving their academic goals. Although some people argue that having non-academic subjects is a waste of time and energy, I believe that non-academic subjects should be added into syllabus.I will argue that non-academic subjects improve people’s creative skills, and secondly, some young people can be succeed in non-academic field which should be encouraged. Non-academic subjects such as art and physic education can develop young people’s creativity. This means that people can get more inspiration from music, paintings, novels and sports games which can help people to broaden their minds. A recent survey by Beijing University in 2016 showed that children who learned art were more likely to be creative than others. As a result, they have more ideas about designing and organizing activity in their work when they grow up. Secondly, there is no need for everyone to succeed academically. Some people could success their careers in non-academic field. Teenagers should have chance and experience to find out what really interests them. Furthermore, The responsibility of school is providing a well-rounded education to help students to achieve their potential.Schools should not take learning opportunities away from children who want to continue with non-academic subjects as a profession. In conclusion, despite academic subjects are vital for students, it is also important to develop their mental abilities. As a result, I believe that schools should provide a broad and balanced curriculum to cultivate students to become useful and creative members of society.

The sense of unsafety. Question: Some people feel unsafe when they are in public and at home. What are the possible causes for this and what are some possible solutions? With the development of economy, people have to make more money to live. Some people who make money by their intelligence and skills feel unsafe because there is a kind of people who want to get possessions by committing crimes such as frauds and robbers. The main problem is that the police cannot take effective measures to protect good civilians in city from these people. The reasons why people worry about their safety in public are about two aspects. On the one hand, people feel helpless and lonely when their valuable things are stolen. For example, people may not try to catch or fight with the thieves or robbers because they afraid criminals have some tools like knife and stick, and bystanders may also fear for being hurt so that they do not give you a hand. Furthermore, although you can call the police, the criminals already escape far away from you when the police come to the scene. This phenomenon causes the criminals more aggressive. In addition, many women feel unsafe at home.There are some girls were drag away and raped because they open the door for bad buy who enact as a neighbor or a worker. To solve these problem, government should arrange more police to patrol on the street which is an effective way to deter criminals and to help civilians in time when they are in danger. Also, in order to ensure people’s safety at home, denizens can install security cameras and in front of their doors to identify the visitor before opening door. In conclusion, police should patrol frequently on the street to find out and solve the unsecure factors in public. Besides, people have to be more cautious when they meet the people who act strangely. Overall, the government and civilians need to work together to make a safe and harmonious life.
