Sample task 1

Read the story starter and continue the story. Complete the story in 600-800 words.

The little man came up to me as I was about to enter the telephone box, and asked me whether I had a match.

“I’m sorry,” I said. “I don’t smoke, so I haven’t any. You had better ask someone else.”

He looked rather disappointed, hesitated, and then turned away. I watched him walk slowly down the street before I picked up the telephone directory to look up the number I meant to dial.

I am not used to a public call box so, at my first attempt to get through, the warning pips had stopped before I realized I had to insert a coin.

When I was at last able to speak, I was told that the person whom I urgently wanted to give a message to had just that minute gone out.

Swearing slightly under my breath, I emerged from the box and came face to face with the little man, who was looking as pathetic as a stray dog. As he raised his hat again, I could see he was quite bald. A thin line, resembling a duelling scar, crossed one cheek. He spoke nervously.

“Excuse my troubling you again,” he said. “Ma y I walk along with you a little way? I must confide in someone. I need help desperately.”

Sample task 1

Write a passage in response to the report below. You should discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the report and explain your reasons for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the report’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 800 words.

Newsweek, the venerable weekly publication that will be remembered for its decades-long efforts for a spot on consumers’ coffee tables, has shut down its print edition at the end of 2012, but it lives on in a new digital tablet edition known

as Newsweek Global. As Tina Brown, the Newsweek editor, said, this tablet edition will target a “new highly mobile, opinion-leading audience who want to learn about world events in a sophistica ted context.”

The move should not shock. The publication has faced major financial problems in recent years. The numbers tell the tale: Newsweek’s circulation has fallen in the number of subscribers from 3 million to 1.5 million in the last decade; annual losses were thought to be $40 million. More broadly, the company faces a more existential problem in that a “weekly news” magazine has become an anachronism in the digital world.

Newsweek is not the only one that has to tackle the challenge in the digital time; other outlets will continue to change their business models for a digital future. With

the “imminent death” of print, digital formats come out as an inevitable development that could turn the industry’s fortune around.

Sample Task 2

Read the following two paragraphs with contradicting views, and write a passage on the issue. You should clearly state your opinion and explain the reasons for your opinion. You should write about 800 words.

Tablets are the ideal system of organization in schools. They are convenient, in which much information is stored in small sizes and kept together in one place, and cheap, as digital information is now becoming more affordable than print. As evolution continues to rock the modern world, digital devices will become more and more reliable. Someday, they will entirely replace print books, and hopefully, that day will come soon.

Many may argue that tablets are much more convenient than paper books. But not everyone shares this preference of tablets or finds them convenient. In fact, in a study conducted by Book Industry Study Group (BISG), it was found that 75% of college students preferred traditional textbooks in which they can highlight the key words and write notes. Also, some may suggest that it is cheaper to invest in tablets than

textbooks. In fact, in a 2008 study of public schools in Kentucky it was estimated that the cost of textbooks and supplies totaled around $44 million. The cost per school was around $988 for textbooks and supplies. That is roughly the cost of only two tablets. To provide tablets to all the students in a school would be an enormous sum. Therefore, we may conclude that while tablets have their purposes, they should not replace the printed books used in schools.

“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛初赛样题

2017“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛初赛 Task 1 Argumentative Writing Write an essay in response to the passage below. You should state clearly whether you agree or disagree with the passage and explain your reasons for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the author’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 500 words. If you still think of the Internet as a means of opening up a vast world of information to people, you may be completely wrong. Playing a positive role in its early days, the Internet is now enclosing people in a walled room. Have you noticed that when different people google the same thing, for example, “Chinese culture” or “America”, they get different search results? Websites selectively guess which information is appropriate to a user based on his/her location, past-click behavior and search history, and tailor information and recommendations accordingly. The more one uses the Internet, the more likely one is kept away from different opinions, and trapped in one’s own cultural ideological bubble. The situation worsens when Internet-boosted social networks creep into every corner of our lives. Although there seems to be a large amount of information updated almost every second, the information is only available from people’s friend-circles or the subscriptions (公众号) they choose. Beyond these circles and choices, people do not really have access to the unknown. They become imprisoned in a confined world.

作文号：498700 题目：Levying a "pollution tax" is right 作文号：498700 题目：Levying a "pollution tax" is right People' opinions are divided on whether the government should levy a "pollution tax" on automobiles. Some people hold that it's an effective way to control cars and reduce pollution. In contrast,others think that reducing car sales by taxing is unwise because it will reduce the industry's competitiveness and even the nation's economy. From my pespective, I strongly endorse view of the former, which is levying tax on automobiles is essential and effective. The reason why I am in favor of view of the former can be listed as follow. First of all, if the government don't take some measures to human's benefit, we can't pay high and close attention to the pollution around us. Because taxation is directly related to people's interests,we will gradually reduce pollution in order to preserve our own interests. As time goes on, people's awareness of environmental protection will slowly improve. What's more, in the past, we blindly pursued economic growth and thus neglected the environmental protection, even at the expense of the environment. The air surrounding us has become worse and worse so that haze become increasingly seriously. Today more and more people are infected with the disease, such as respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and so on. Consequently, we should be responsible for the environment to pay tax. Last but not least,there are some successful examples confirming the measure is right. Many developed countries have carried out the method,levying a "pollution tax". For instance,the united states has been the introduction of a sulfur dioxide tax in the 70's. According to the provisions of the "sulfur dioxide tax act", the concentration of sulfur dioxide to reach the standard of the region, a pound of sulfur per cent of 15 cents; two standard areas to be taxed at 10 cents per pound; two or more areas. There is no doubt that the implementation of this measure has brought an obvious improvement to the environment in the United States. Additionally,afterthe first industrial revolution, London is called "the city of fog", which is generally known that this is due to a large number of coal caused by coal. In order to effectively solve the problem, British started to levy automobile carbon emissions tax. Of course,control effect is obvious. In view of the above, it is necessary to levy a "pollution tax" on automobiles. Goverment should scientificly make tax standard according to the actual situation. Firstly, government ought to formulate a program before levying. Based on the program, before the national tax collection, government can select some key cities to carry out pilot at first. After that, government can put forward to environmental tax.
