Think Twice: Attend College at Home or Abroad

The past few years have witnessed a mounting number of Chinese students attending college abroad. Some applaud it warmly whereas others criticize and even condemn it harshly. Personally, I believe that we should not go to extremes for studying abroad has both advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, going to college abroad is beneficial in many ways. Most importantly, the general level of education abroad is higher than that at home. Secondly, studying abroad can broaden one’s horizon, which can also add to his or her edge of competition.

On the other hand, studying abroad has some demerits. In the first place, tuition fees abroad are much higher than those at home, which might prove a grave burden on most families. In the second place, students may find it difficult to adapt to the environment abroad, especially when they are weak in the foreign language. Taking into consideration all the above-mentioned, we may come to the conclusion that studying abroad is a two-edged sword, which brings along both benefits and trouble. One should make his or her decision according to personal conditions. If he or she is not well prepared financially or has severe language barriers, he or she may well go to college at home. When the timing is appropriate, he or she can choose to pursue graduate study abroad.

3. Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be taken to encourage innovation. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

On Innovation

In an era of competition and challenges, the issue of how to be innovative has been brought into focus. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent

perspiration.” Thomas Edison, a famous inventor, once put it that way. I totally agree with him.

According to Edison, one can only achieve a hundred percent success by both hard work and the creation elicited by the inspiration. In other words, being creative or innovative is an essential quality for people to succeed. Besides, it is the unceasingly up-coming innovations that have actually promoted the progress of human beings. There are several ways to be innovative. To start with, one should learn to break the rules. Rules are used to regulate people’s behavior and to make everything in order. Nevertheless, new things do not always follow the old routines for their unique qualities. Thus, to create something new, you have to be brave enough to ignore what is old. Furthermore, it is vital that a creative person should adopt a sharp sense in the new trend in this fast-changing society. Living only with familiar things can trap oneself in the comfort zone which may gradually result in a dull and lazy mind. In that case, nothing new will ever come up to shine up his or her boring days. Only by being exposed to trendy and fashionable things as well as ideas can one really be on the right track of being innovative.

4. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on e-learning. Try to imagine what will happen when more and more people study online instead of attending school. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

E-learning, a New Option for Learners

Currently, an increasing number of people begin to use Internet to take courses and acquire knowledge. Online learning is booming all around the world. It is providing many options for learners in terms of time, locations, subjects and costs. Online learning greatly promotes learners’ studying efficiency and teachers’ productivity. As a result, updated knowledge will reach those students in isolated areas at a higher speed, which can make many of them keep pace with the time.

Additionally, students can decide their learning location and time much more freely. Notably, because transportation and accommodation will not trouble E-learners, learning cost will be largely lowered. These advantages might decrease the number of people who routinely attend school learning.

From my point of view, personal interaction between teachers and students in schools is irreplaceable. It is a good idea that we combine E-learning and attending school together. Learning is not a simple multiple-choice question but an important issue that needs your trying and involvement.

5. Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

Vocational College Is Preferred

In recent years, teenagers in mounting numbers start to discuss about whether to attend a vocational college or a university in our highly modernized and industrialized society. As for me, I am in favor of the former idea.

So conspicuous are the impacts of attending a vocational college that I would like to explore the following aspects. To begin with, by no means can we deny that the skills or techniques learnt from vocational colleges serve as a critical role in the process of job-hunting. According to a recent study conducted by CCTV, every 7 out of 10 HR managers claimed that they preferred to hire employees with specific skills. Moreover, the rapid growth of the number of students who have received vocational training makes it possible to promote the development of the industry, the importance of which shall never be neglected.

Teenagers, in conclusion, are supposed to make a wise choice about their future depending on their own hobbies, merits and ideas. Only when the advice above is literally put into effect can they expect to become better selves in the foreseeable future.

2. 唐朝始于618年，终于907年，是中国历史上最灿烂的时期。经过三百年的发展，唐代中国成为世界上最繁荣的强国，其首都长安是世界上最大的都市。这一时期，经济发达，商业繁荣，社会秩序稳定，甚至边境也对外开放。随着城市化和财富的增加，艺术和文学也繁荣起来。李白和杜甫是以作品简洁自然而著称的诗人。他们的诗歌打动了学者和普通人的心。即使在今天，他们的许多诗歌仍广为儿童及成人阅读背诵。

费总计超过4000亿元。据世界贸易组织估计，2020年中国将成为世界上最大的旅游国，在未来几年里将成为出境旅游支出增长最快的国家。

As the life quality improves, taking holiday is playing an increasingly important role in the life of Chinese people. Chinese people used to spend most of their time in making a living and barely had the chance to go out for a vacation. Nevertheless, recent years have witnessed a flourishing tourism industry in China. The economic prosperity and the emergence of affluent middle class have given rise to an

unprecedented boom in travelling. Chinese people not only choose to travel at home but also seek to embark on foreign excursions. During the National Day holiday of 2016, the total tourism consumption reached over 40 billion yuan. It is estimated by the WTO that by 2020, China will be the largest tourism country which will witness a rapid increase in the outbound tourism expenditures.

4. 随着中国经济的蓬勃发展，学汉语的人数迅速增加，使汉语成了世界上人们最爱学的语言之一。近年来，中国大学在国际上的排名也有了明显的提高。由于中国教育的巨大进步，中国成为最受海外学生欢迎的留学目的地之一就不足为奇了。2015年，近40万国际学生蜂拥来到中国市场。他们学习的科目不再限于中国语言和文化，而包括科学与工程。在全球教育市场上，美国和英国仍占主导地位，但中国正在迅速赶上。

With China’s booming economy, the number of people who learn Chinese grows rapidly, which makes Chinese one of the favorite languages that people would like to learn. Recently, Chinese universities rise significantly in world university rankings. Since the significant progress made in Chinese education, it is no wonder that China has been one of the most favored places for overseas students. In 2015, nearly 400,000 international students swarmed into the Chinese market. Not confined to Chinese language and culture, the subjects they choose to learn also include science and engineering. Although the global education market is still dominated by US and UK, China is striving to catch up.

5. 中国的创新正以前所未有的速度蓬勃发展。为了在科学技术上尽快赶超世界发达国家，中国近年来大幅度增加了研究开发资金。中国的大学和研究所正在积极开展创新研究，这些研究覆盖了从大数据到生物化学、从新能源到机器人等各类高科技领域。它们还与各地的科技园合作，使创新成果商业化。与此同时，无论在产品还是商业模式上，中国企业家也在努力争做创新的先锋，以适应国内外消费市场不断变化和增长的需求。

Innovation in China is flourishing at an unprecedented speed. In order to catch up with and overtake the developed countries in science and technology as soon as possible, China has substantially increased investment in research and development

funds in recent years. Chinese universities and research institutes are actively carrying out innovative researches which cover various high—tech fields, ranging from big data to biochemistry, from new energy to robots. They are also cooperating with

science and technology parks across China to commercialize the innovative products. Meanwhile, Chinese entrepreneurs are endeavoring to be the innovative pioneers no matter in products or business models to meet the constantly changing and growing demands of the consumer market both at home and abroad.
