Other people say that there are benefits for the animals and for humans. Discuss both sides of this debate, and give your personal view. Keeping animals in captivity continues to be a widely concerned topic at present, just as animals themselves have become a highly debated topic these days. The debate about keeping animals in captivity tends to divide people into two camps. Their opinions are as follows. On the one hand, people feel that it is false to keep animals in captivity which will hurt the wild animals mentally and physically. For example, large wild animals belong to the nature, and they can grow well while they are brought up in the wild. Besides, the management of some zoos is far from satisfactory, which can finally do great harm to the animals. For instance, some big zoos are packed with a great number of visitors, which might result in making the animals tired of being watched. Animals need rest. Lastly, as is shown in some scientific research, the death rate of animals in captivity is higher than that in the wild. On the other hand, some people argue that keeping animals in captivity is not always bad. First, there are benefits for animals in terms of safety. Much thought has been given to hunting in contemporary society. Wild animals are overly hunted by humans, which makes the number of wild animals plunge. Bringing up animals in zoos is a good way to address this issue. Moreover, a few endangered animals can be carefully taken care of if they are fed by humans who have good command of looking after animals, such as pandas. In addition, children can benefit from the trip to the zoos as well, they will have a better understanding of their relationships between humans and animals, which makes them more caring and kind. From my standpoint, I believe that the strengths of keeping animals in captivity outweigh the weaknesses. As long as the animals have enough freedom and the zoos maintain the high standards of management, it is better to protect animals from the dangers in the wild by keeping them in captivity.July 6, 201900

Discuss these opposing views and give your own opinion. Much thought is being given to sport these days. The debate about sport tends to divide people into two camps. Some people think that sport is important for children, while others believe that it should be purely optional. On the plus side, people believe that sport is the cornerstone of a happy and healthy life. By exercising, children can recharge their batteries and have more energy to do their schoolwork. Besides, some chronic illnesses have grown into public-health crisis, such as diabetes and cervical spondylosis. Exercising can help contain these illnesses. On the minus side, people feel exercising should be purely optional. Some children may not like sport, and they might want to read books rather than exercise in their spare time. Moreover, some sports are not safe so that children may have a chance to get injured. Based on the above discussion, I think we should give a priority to sport for it can help us become healthier. In my opinion, reasons for exercise abound, but three reasons stand out. The most important is that we are living in an environment where there is much pollution, such as air pollution and water pollution. If ever there is a method that helps us improve our immune function, exercise is the one. A second reason is that exercise makes people happy for it stimulates the brain to generate dopamine, an organic chemical that plays several important roles in the brain and body. Lastly, some sports need teamwork, which helps children have a better understanding of cooperation and competition. All things considered, sport brings many benefits to children, so it is of great importance to make sport an essential part of school life. If children develop a habit of exercising at school, it will have a good impact on them during their lifetime.July 1, 201900

- Could you help me correct some sentences?Thank you. Q:Employers should give their staff at least a 4-week holiday a year to make employees better at their jobs. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Employers do well to give their staff at least a 4-week holiday a year, if the company's goal is to improve employees' efficiency. At present, overwork has grown into a public-health crisis which mirrors the difficulties facing millions of middle-class workers across China. To address this problem, I think giving more holidays is a good way. Overwork is responsible for many problems. One of these problems is that we don't have enough time to enjoy life with our families. It cannot be neglected because spending time with families is such a big pleasure that we cannot live without it. Moreover, overwork can push the employees to complain about their companies, which may lead to serious problems, such as the beef of the "996"regime.Last but not least, the more time there is which we spend on our work, the less able we will be to take exercise. Thus we may get some diseases, such as cervical spondylosis and more serious sudden cardiac death. It is high time to give priority to employees' health. In my opinion, giving at least a 4-week holiday not only means enough time to relax, but also time to reflect. It can improve employees' enthusiasm about work and stimulate their innovative ability. They will also feel less anxious so that they can be in a good mood for creating new things. Liken to natural resources, human creativity also needs to be sustainably developed. What's more, people can use the holiday to deal with personal errands, such as weddings. All in all, if we always underscore working longer, it may undermine the healthy competition environment. After all, working longer doesn't mean working better. Conversely, employees can pay more attention to improve their efficiency. Giving at least a 4-week holiday helps employees strike a balance between life and work. Play hard, and then work hard.June 26, 201950

- In many countries, a high proportion of criminal acts are committed by teenagers. Why has this happ Many countries are facing a thorny problem that teenagers commit a large number of crimes. Resolving this problem is definitely imperative because we cannot expect a future with so many crimes committed by our “flowers”. Such a high proportion of juvenile delinquency demands explanation. Three reasons for it stand out. One of the main causes of this problem is the personality traits of teenagers. Teenagers are more likely to have a sudden impulse to do something wrong than adults. In many cases, small conflicts can lead to serious aftermath. Moreover, as we all know, the sentences to teenagers’ criminal acts are less serious than adults. Thus many teenagers may not have the awareness of keeping their behavior legal. Lacking in the knowledge of the law is also responsible for this phenomenon. In this regard, our society hasn’t done well in the dissemination of the law. To address this problem, schools do well to disseminate more knowledge of the law in schools. For example, schools can hold a series of lectures given by lawyers or law professors to let teenagers have a better understanding of the severe outcomes of criminal acts. What’s more, schools should provide more mental counselling to make it easier for teenagers to vent their anger. In this way, teenagers are less prone to commit crimes. Last but not least, the importance of family should not be neglected. Schools can work together with families to prevent some tragedies. Parents should keep a watchful eye on their children. In conclusion, it is not fair to just blame teenagers for the problem. Many contributors result in this complicated social issue. We should stick together to resolve this problem and create a safer social environment.June 26, 201930
