ose who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings.Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.翻譯: 在媒體不斷地推波助瀾下,我國的許多職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員已成為了明星和名人。 Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.s life. Instead, the traits we inherit from our parents and the situations and experiences that we encounter in life are constantly interacting. It is the interaction of the two that shapes a person39。 the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?Overall, I disagree with the opinion expressed. I would like to begin by pointing out that ‘traditional skills and ways of life’ are not automatically of one country, but of a culture or munity. In many ways, the history of civilisation is the history of technology: from the discovery of fire to the invention of the wheel to the development of the Internet, we have been moving on from previous ways of doing things. Some technologies, such as weapons of mass destruction, are of negative impact. Others, such as medical advances, positively help people to live better or longer, and so very much help traditional ways of life. Surely, few people would seek to preserve such traditional as living in caves!Interestingly, technology can positively contribute to the keeping alive of traditional skills and ways of life. For example, the populations of some islands are too small to have normal schools. Rather than breaking up families by sending children to the mainland, education authorities have been able to use the Internet to deliver schooling online. In addition, the Internet, and modern refrigeration techniques, are being used to keep alive the traditional skills of producing salmon。那些頂尖的運(yùn)動(dòng)員收入頗豐。Test 4 P99P168WRITING TASK 2:You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic.

But whether these characteristics are able to develop within the personality of an individual surely depends on whether the circumstances allow such a development. It seems that the experiences we have in life are so unpredictable and so powerful, that they can boost or override other influences, and there seems to be plenty of research findings to confirm this.My own view is that there is no one major influence in a person39。 it can now be ordered from, and delivered to, anywhere in the world.In conclusion, without suggesting that all technology is necessarily good, I think it is by no means ‘ pointless’, in any way, to try to keep traditions alive with technology. We should not ignore technology, because it can be our friend and support our way of life. 劍橋C3, Test3, P74P164You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic. 像一些電影明星一樣,他(她)們也是香車豪宅,生活極為奢華。但與此同時(shí),該現(xiàn)象也顯得出我們的社會(huì)更關(guān)注體育而非其它一些更重要的領(lǐng)域和成就。s personality and development are more influenced by genetics factors (nature) or by the environment (nurture).Research, relating to identical twins, has highlighted how significant inherited characteristics can be for an individual39。 In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this ad pletely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking reposibility. 許多人覺得與那些掙高薪的頂級(jí)外科醫(yī)生,從事研究的科學(xué)家或有管理國家責(zé)任的高官相比,他(她)們的回報(bào)極為不公。 在我個(gè)人看來,比起電影明星的高薪,體育明星的高薪更受之無愧。 Like selfawareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be the most important for achieving happiness. C4, P101169In many countries schools have severe problems with student behaviour. What do you think are the cause of this?What solutions can you suggest?Poor student behaviour seems to be increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.In many countries, the birth is decreasing so that families are smaller with fewer children. These children are often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of price, and to behave as they please. This means that the children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living es from.When they get to school age they have not learnt any self control or discipline. They have less respect for their teachers and refuse to obey school rules in the way that their parents did. Teachers continually plain about this problem and measures should be taken to bat the situation. But I think the solution to the problem lies with the families, who need to be more aware of t
