【正文】 Each and every step of preparation was a timeconsuming task. But now, things are entirely different. Supermarkets provide vegetables and meat clean and neat, some of them even have relevant ingredients and need only a few minutes to be made into delicious meals. And this change has indeed greatly improved the way people live. In a sense, food preparation is no longer a tedious task, at least much easier to tolerate. Such a change has liberated many women and given them chance to do more meaningful things, for example, a higher pay job or a more respectful one. On the other hand, more men are being willing to do the thing that they once hated so much, and in some cases such transformation of men brought dramatic positive impact on the family. Today, it39。t waste time and money educating them. Families often insist that their daughters stay at home and help with housework while sending their sons to school. Girls are born every bit as smart as boys and equally deserve to reap the benefits of education. Many of the world39。 television is merely among many other factors that affect munication, and is definitely not the main cause of degradation. It seems that the more one is educated, the more one is aware of the deleterious effects that excessive television causes, and either deliberately avoid it or actually do not enjoy it. On the other hand, there really are many people addictive to television. But the fact is, were television not existent, surely these people would have found other escapes, such as alcohol or gambling for example. In other words, people always find a way to do what they want to do. Therefore, I can hardly agree that television has destroyed munication among friends and family. 9.

Television, invented in last century, with its wide availability, increasingly prosperous programs, bees one of the most powerful means of munication in the history, and is more and more difficult to ignore. Television is as much a part of our lives as are our meals, work, or school。 好處： 直接增加了就業(yè)機會 (到工廠去上班 )；間接增加了就業(yè)機會 (會有很多服務(wù)業(yè)，比如飯店、商店、 超市等等跟著開業(yè) ) 如果工廠規(guī)模足夠大，物流規(guī)模也足夠大，那么將 ?終成為交通改善的起點 大的工廠可以繳納很多稅，對地方財政有好處，進而促進社區(qū)的繁榮 壞處： 帶來各種污染，比如，噪音、廢氣、污水等等 工廠不一定會贏利 相關(guān)題目： [16]、 [25]、 [26]、 [30]、 [79] 『范文』 Page 8 of 201 高分作文 完美重排版 Edited by Lost Lawyer I live in a primarily agricultural munity, and most of the population lives hand to mouth. Parents keep children home from school to work in the fields. If there is a flood or a drought, people starve. A new factory would mean regular monthly salaries as well as protection against natural disasters or a sudden drop in the price of our main agricultural product, say, corn. Regular salaries would allow families the confidence to make investments in their futures. The locals would be able to plan their finances accurately and free themselves from debt. This in turn would encourage entrepreneurship and further develop the local economy. People could begin to open shops, restaurants, dormitories, and entertainment facilities to serve the factory workers with their savings. Profits from these small enterprises would further enrich the local munity and turn our relatively poor farmland into a truly profitable development zone. Perhaps more parents could then afford to send all of their children to high school and maybe even college. There would certainly be negative effects as well. If the area bees prosperous, immigrants from poorer regions will e here looking for work. Because of their relative poverty they will work harder for less money than the locals and drive wages down. There might be more immigrants than factory jobs available, leading to an unemployment crisis with a rising crime rate as a potential negative side effect. On the other hand, the proposed factory would almost certainly have adverse effects on the local environment, particularly in regards to polluting the water. This is perhaps the most serious concern, because without clean water the area cannot sustain life of any kind, , livestock, or human. However, because of the relatively desperate economic situation of my hometown, I believe the potential benefits of opening a new factory would outweigh the risks. If we take the proper precautions, such as imposing strict environmental standards and providing adequate social services for immigrants, the whole area stands to benefit. 6.
