五、社会热点问题
1、Why Do People Like to Buy Lottery
(1)目前社会上流行着各种各样的彩票,有许多人在购买彩票;
(2)为什么有那么多的人购买彩票呢?
[参考范文]
Nowadays, there are all kinds of lotteries in our society. Wherever you go, you will see the advertisements of lotteries on TV, on newspapers, in the streets and so on. These lotteries are divided into welfare lottery, sports lottery, computer lottery, and so forth. Meanwhile, there are quite a few people buying them.
But why are there so many people buying lotteries? Why are the lotteries so popular? In my opinion , there are three reasons for this. First, most people are trying their luck on lottery tickets. They have a long-cherished dream of making big money overnight. Second, some people just like it and it can make their life more colorful.
Finally, there are some people who want to make donation to public welfare by buying lotteries.
2、Is Outer Space Worth Exploring 太空是否值得探索
[参考范文]
Almost everyday we may see something in the newspaper or on TV about the latest exciting developments in space exploration. There is an immense pride in our science and technology and a sense of its importance for the welfare of mankind.
Not everyone , however, shares this feeling. Ever since space research began, it has been criticized as a huge waste of money and other resources, which might be used to help to relieve the suffering of the earth’s starving millions. It has also been felt that the space program might lead to the total destruction of the earth. Despite these disadvantages and potential dangers, the advantages are far greater. We have already succeeded in using satellites for communications, weather forecast and oil exploration and with further space research, more problems we are having now can be solved. For instance, with the success of space shuttles and the feasibility of living in other planets, we may solve the population problem on the earth. Space projects will also enable us to find a few chemical elements to cure presently incurable diseases.
Space exploration contributes not only to the improvement of the quality of human life, but also to our understanding of the interdependence of all beings; and therefore, of the need to take better care of each other.
3、Pet Raising 如何看待宠物热
1. 有些人喜欢养动物作为宠物。
2. 有些人反对圈养动物作为宠物。
3. 你的观点。
[参考范文]
Nowadays, with the improvement of the people’s living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets. Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets. There are still even some people raising snakes and other unusual animals as their pets.
Does anyone have the same opinion of raising animals as pets? No, some people object to the idea of raising animals as pets. To them, animals have their own right to live a natural life like human beings. On the other hand, the way people raise animals as pets have a negative influence on the surroundings such as dogs’ barking at midnight, dogs’ chasing people on the street and so on. What’s more, some animals will transmit some diseases.
In my opinion, I do not like the idea to raise animals at pets. Animals have their own right to lead a life as they like. We should not deprive them of their natural right. In this way, we will live in a peaceful world in harmony with the other living creatures.
4、为什么电视观众喜欢看体育节目

[参考范文]
The sports programs enjoyed a boom among TV viewers. According to the above graph, 78 percent of TV viewer frequently watch Sports, which is obviously far ahead of other televised events. News follows second with 68 percent of viewers, compared with 54 percent Movies watchers. Documentary seems preferable among people than Special do, with 42 percent and 26 percent respectively.
A passion for sports has taken possession of thousands of people. One of the reasons perhaps is that sports provide an outlet for open-up emotions. People extract themselves from routine life and fully express their feeling towards sports. Stimulated by the excitement, they applaud for the victory and hold their breath for the exhilarating competition. In a sense, sports are a heaven for people to escape from boredom and tension..
Enthusiasm for sports also reflects people’s desire to transcend geographical and cultural limits. Freed from border and language difference, sports are accessible to everyone. People will no longer be confined to a certain living circle. They can share the same fantasy with the viewers at another hemisphere. Taken by sports, they can roam from country to country, continent to continent. Sports thus become a common language for all the people throughout the world.
