第六部分、描述解决方案句型

范例文章

One of the most challenging problems of today’s society is the question who should be responsible for our old people. It’s not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want our society to have. In my essay, I would like to present four possible models.

Firstly, the company could be responsible for its retired employees. For this reason a special fund could be established. The advantage of this model is, if you belief in the capitalist system, that it should be the cheapest solution. One possible problem is that the companies might have competition disadvantage due to higher staff costs.

A second solution is that the government has to take the responsibility for the old people’s care. It can finance this with its tax incomes. Actually, this is the most democratic model since everybody gets as much money as he or she needs. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this solution seems not to work very well. The government can no longer afford supporting all the old peoples.

Another ways of solving the problem is to give back the responsibility to the individual. That means that everybody has to save money during their working life for the live after their retirement. This seems to be not a very fair model because their will certainly exist people who can’t afford to save part of their salary. In this case, the government would have to care for them.

A last solution is to go back to the old model of the “big family who cares for all their members. I don’t think this is possible in our days society because the family structures have so much changed.

To sum up, I have to admit that I can’t find a really good solution for this problem. All models have both advantages and disadvantages. Certainly we have to think about this topic much more in the future.

句型与文章

范文分析1

Topic:     Nowadays, more and more children are becoming obese. Give possible reasons and suggestions.

Unlike those living in poor countries, many children, in other parts of the world, are being bothered by a sensitive problem: obesity, as a result of living standard improved. A recent survey conducted shows that it has become an epidemic, as the number of obese children is keeping alarmingly rising. In fact, it is really significant to find the reasons and figure out it in some ways.

Geneticists tell gene has a strong link with obesity. And evidences show that the weight of a child is related to that of his or her parents, according to a most recently medical report. In other words, a child is more likely to be obese if one of his or her parents holds the kind of gene with obesity.

Are genetic reasons sole explanation? Actually, other factors must be at work. Overeating is something which can be noticed. Afraid that their kids might suffer from starvation and poor health, some parents intend to allow them to eat as much as they can, without any restriction. What’s worse, five or six meals for a kid are not unseen.

Not only is what kids eat a big problem, but also the matter of eating style and lifestyle. With the popularity of fast foods, kids seem to be addicted to this sort of. And even they prefer to eat them while watching TV or surfing on the Internet. In fact, they not merely eat dunk food (high calorie without nutrition), but also are short of appropriate physical exercises. Especially, nutritionists warn that they are most possible to suffer from more terrifying diseases such as, diabetes at their early ages, if kids still keep the current habits of eating and living unchanged.

Based on the side effects of obesity aroused, solutions to the problem must be discovered as soon as possible. Indeed, doctors try their best to develop and research the drugs which can be used to relieve obesity. Certainly, no matter how hard they work; the all-important element of controlling the situation is sufficient physical exercises and diet adjustment to a good level.                           (347 words)
