Fashion trends are difficult to follow these days and it’s widely believed that they primarily exist just to sell clothes. Some people believe that we shouldn’t follow them and that we should dress in what we like and feel comfortable in.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Model Answer:
It’s widely believed in today’s materialistic world that the latest innovative fashion trends hold great significance. On the other hand, such trends are believed to be set only in the pursuit of profits for large designer companies. It seems that in recent times, people are now changing their minds in regards to wearing clothes for comfort and as a personal choice. Personally I agree that we should pay more attention to individuality and comfort in the way we dress.
Firstly, fashion designs exist as a form of creative artistic expression of the designer. Although this may be true, undoubtedly such designs take away individuality once a trend is set in place. By this I mean that there is nothing unique about wearing what everybody else does. More specifically, if everyone sports the latest colour and design in summer skirts, do we not look the same?
Secondly, It is possible that fashion trends can look extremely stylish to the general public. However, it can be argued that the main purpose of wearing clothes is for more functional reasons. This is primarily due to the fact that clothes were traditionally worn to protect people from climatic conditions. For instance, clothes are still worn basically to keep people warm and dry in winter and cool in summer.
Finally, fashion certainly gives us a sense of confidence and pride in our appearance. While this is certainly a good point, it also means that following such changeable trends proves to be expensive. For example, purchasing every latest season’s fashion item will of course blow the budget of many young people.
In conclusion, there are various arguments to support the dismissal of fashion trends, consisting of not conforming, comfort and price, which I strongly agree with.

人们普遍认为，在当今物欲横流的世界里，最新的创新时尚潮流具有重要意义。另一方面，这种趋势被认为是只设置在追求利润的大型设计师公司。看来，在最近的时代，人们正在改变他们的看法，在穿着舒适和个人选择。我个人认为，我们应该更加注重个性和舒适的方式，我们穿着。
首先，时装设计作为一种创造性的艺术表现形式的设计师。虽然这可能是真的，但毫无疑问，这样的设计一旦趋势确立，就会失去个性。我的意思是，没有什么独特的穿着别人做什么。更具体地说，如果每个人都在夏季运动的最新的颜色和设计的裙子，我们不一样吗?
其次，时尚潮流对大众来说是非常时髦的。然而，可以说，穿衣服的主要目的是为了更多的功能原因。这主要是由于传统上穿的衣服，以保护人们免受气候条件。例如，衣服基本上仍然穿着，以保持人们温暖和干燥在冬季和夏季凉爽。
最后，时尚的确给了我们自信和自豪的外观。虽然这当然是一个很好的观点，但也意味着遵循这种多变的趋势被证明是昂贵的。例如，购买每一个最新赛季的时尚项目当然会打击许多年轻人的预算。
总之，有各种论据支持解雇时尚潮流，包括不符合，舒适和价格，我强烈同意。
Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Model Answer:
The growth of tourism and the numbers of people travelling to other countries for their vacations has led to debate as to whether this is beneficial. I believe that there are many problems which arise out of the tourist industry, and will examine these in detail.
Many people argue that travel broadens the mind. However, this statement does not fully hold water. I would argue that spending a few weeks in another country is not long enough to gain a proper understanding of an alien culture. A foreigner visiting Britain might be met with the traditional British reserve, and mistakenly conclude that the British are unfriendly. Furthermore, some people are unwilling to open their minds. A Western traveller to an Arab country is unlikely to consider that the veiling of women is acceptable.
Being a tourist in a foreign country brings with it problems that can lead to dislike of the native people. Firstly, a foreigner is vulnerable, and is often ripped off by locals. Secondly, the language barrier can lead to misunderstandings. Thirdly, tourists are often hassled to buy goods, which can ruin a holiday. When I went to Bali, people tried to sell me something every five minutes, and this totally spoilt my sunbathing.
Local people also often end up disliking foreigners. Visitors may mistakenly act contrary to local norms, or they may just be plain offensive, as many drunken British holidaymakers must seem to the Spanish. Global tourism can lead to hostility from the native people, who may feel their traditional way of life is under threat. Additionally, the relative wealth of the foreign visitors can cause envy and resentment.
In conclusion, I would say that I largely agree with the argument that global tourism creates misunderstanding between people from different cultures, and that the differences are often a cause for conflict rather than celebration.

旅游业的增长和前往其他国家度假的人数已引起争论，这是否有益。我相信旅游业会出现很多问题，并会详细研究这些问题。
许多人认为旅行使人精神开阔。不过，这一说法并没有完全成立。我会认为，在另一个国家呆上几个星期是不够的，以便对外来文化有一个正确的理解。一个来访英国的.外国人可能会遇到传统的英国保护区，误以为英国人不友好。此外，有些人不愿打开他们的头脑。一个阿拉伯国西部旅行是不可能考虑到妇女的面纱是可以接受的。
作为一个旅游者在外国带来的问题，可能会导致不喜欢的土著人。首先，外国人是脆弱的，经常被当地人扯掉。其次，语言障碍会导致误解。再次，游客们经常催促购买商品，可以毁掉一个假期。我去巴厘的时候，人们试图卖东西给我每五分钟，这完全毁了我的日光浴。
当地人也经常会不喜欢外国人。游客可能会错误地违反规范的地方，或者他们可能只是普通的攻势，许多醉酒的英国度假者肯定是西班牙。全球旅游可能会导致当地人的敌意，他们可能会觉得他们的传统生活方式受到威胁。此外，外国游客的相对财富会引起嫉妒和怨恨。
总之，我想说，我大体上同意这一观点，即全球旅游造成了来自不同文化背景的人们之间的误解，而这些差异往往是冲突而非庆祝的原因。

每天使用电脑会对你的孩子产生消极的影响。你同意还是不同意?下面是我分享的雅思社会类英语作文，欢迎大家阅读!
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your children.
Do you agree or disagree?
Model Answer:
I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer every day. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for.
However, the main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the ‘hero’ of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centred and insensitive to others.
Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing nonvirtual experiences is an important part of a child's development that cannot be provided by a computer.
In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology and the Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore it is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment enthusiastically and with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives.
I think the main point is to make sure that young children do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual world.

我倾向于认为小孩子每天都在电脑上花费太多的时间会受到负面影响。这部分是因为坐在屏幕前太久会损害孩子的眼睛和身体姿势，而不管他们用电脑做什么。
然而，主要关注的是吸引孩子的电脑活动的类型。这些往往是电子游戏，往往是非常激烈，而暴力。玩家通常是游戏的“英雄”，过多的曝光会鼓励孩子自我中心，对他人不敏感。
即使孩子们使用电脑的其他用途，如获取信息或电子邮件的朋友，它是没有人际交往的替代品。和其他孩子一起分享虚拟体验是儿童发展的重要组成部分，不能由计算机提供的。
尽管如此，年轻人对计算机技能的明显好处是不能否认的。他们的成人世界将在技术上不断变化，互联网是当今世界所有知识和信息的关键。因此，重要的是，孩子在很小的时候就学会了用热情和自信的设备，因为他们将需要这些技能在他们的学习和工作生活。
我认为主要的一点是要确保幼儿不要过度使用电脑。父母必须确保他们的孩子学会享受其他活动，而不是简单地坐在家里，学习生活在一个虚拟的世界。
Some people feel that certain workers like nurses, doctors and teachers are undervalued and should be paid more, especially when other people like film actors or company bosses are paid huge sums of money that are out of proportion to the importance of the work that they do.
-How far do you agree?
-What criteria should be used to decide how much people are paid?
Model Answer:
Nobody can deny that there are certain professionals like nurses, doctors and teachers who are essential to the fabric of society, and who should therefore be rewarded accordingly. However, this is seldom the case. When we look at the salaries and fees commanded by certain film stars and actresses and people who run large companies, this does not seem fair.
First of all, not all film stars earn huge sums of money. In fact, at any one time in the UK, for example, roughly 80 per cent of actors are out of work and on top of that the number who are paid so-called ‘telephone number fees’ is even smaller. One must also remember that the career of many actors is very short and that therefore the money they earn has to be spread over many years. The same applies to company bosses.
Stating a set of criteria as to how much people should be paid is not easy. The idea of performance-related pay is very much in vogue at the moment. Rewarding people according to qualifications has long been used as a yardstick for paying people, but it is not a consistently good measure. Another is years of relevant experience, but there are many cases where a younger person can perform a task better than someone with lots of experience.
Whatever criteria are used to assess salaries, an on-going cycle will develop. This will create pressure in other areas. This considered, generally I feel that certain key professionals should have their salaries assessed by independent review bodies on an on-going basis so that they do not fall behind.

没有人能否认，有些专业人士如护士、医生和教师对社会的构成至关重要，因此他们应该得到相应的回报。然而，这是很少的情况下。当我们看一些电影明星和管理大公司的人所要求的薪金和费用时，这似乎不公平。
首先，并不是所有的`电影明星都能赚大钱。事实上，在英国的任何一次，例如，大约有80的演员失业，最重要的是，所谓的'电话号码费'的人数甚至更小。人们还必须记住，许多演员的事业很短，因此他们赚的钱必须分散多年。同样适用于公司老板。
说明一套标准，以支付多少人是不容易的。目前有关绩效工资的想法非常流行。人们根据资历来奖励人们长期以来一直是衡量人们报酬的标准，但这并不是一贯的好办法。另一个是多年的相关经验，但有许多情况下，年轻人可以执行的任务比有经验的人。
无论用什么标准来评估工资，一个持续的周期将发展。这将在其他地区产生压力。我认为，一般来说，我觉得某些关键专业人士的薪酬应该由独立检讨机构持续评估，这样他们才不会落后。
