Some people prefer to buy technological devices as soon as they are available on the market, while other people prefer to wait. Which do you prefer?
I prefer to wait:
1. It will cost too much money if we buy a technological device as soon as it is available.(奇货可居，大家都抢着买，价格会高;电子产品过一段时间热度消退可能会降价)
2. New products always have some bugs or deficiency in function.(新产品往往还处在测试期，很多功能还不完善，往往性能不稳定;windows系统的例子)

The best way to improve the quality of education in a country is to increase teachers' salaries.
I disagree
Para.1: Currently, there is a widespread belief that increasing teacher’s salaries is the best way to improve the quality of the education in a country. From my perspective, however, it is an overstatement to claim so.

21
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Workers would be more satisfied if they have various kinds of work to do during work day instead of doing the same job all day long.
Currently, there is a widespread belief that workers should do similar tasks all day long to improve the efficiency. From my perspective, however, during the workday, workers will be more satisfied if they have a variety of tasks to do.
In the first place, workers will get tired easily if they keep doing the same type of task for a long time. As is known to all, people will become tired and lose efficiency if they concentrate on the same thing for a long time, for their brains cannot have a rest. This will further create risk of making mistakes or even physical injuries if the person keeps the same body gesture for a long time. By contrast, different types of tasks provide workers with the opportunity to shift their minds and make them less tired during the work. For example, my brother, Jeff, used to complain that he felt the efficiency decreased as time passed during the workday. Jeff is a computer engineer in a big company and he used to spend a whole day sitting in front of his computer to write the codes and check them. Such repetitive work made him bored and he could not focus on his work after several hours. When the executive of the company found this problem, he changed the work mode. Now, Jeff does not need to spend the whole day in front of his computer; he has other tasks to do, such as helping with the workstation outside, talking with the clients and so on. This makes Jeff more satisfied and he never complains his job again.
Furthermore, by doing a variety of tasks, a person can develop skills in different areas. This can help the person with his or her career development because the worker has more skills to apply for a greater range of jobs. In modern society, a person with several skills is easier to achieve success. In contrast, if a worker always does the same thing, he/she may lose many opportunities to be promoted as long as there is someone better than him/her. For example, my cousin, Jackson, works in a big company after graduation and his daily work involves a lot of things, including arranging the conference, negotiating with other companies, drawing the market plan for the department and so on. Thanks to the valuable experience he accumulates in those different tasks, he has been promoted to be the sales manager. While one of his classmates, Tom, working in another company, still works as an ordinary clerk, as Tom only does the same task every day and does not have any advantage to compete with others. It is evident that different tasks offer workers various skills and help them to succeed.
In conclusion, workers are more satisfied when they have many different types of tasks to do during the workday due to the avoiding of tiredness and the skills gained from those different tasks.
22
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People nowadays spend much more time than they should using text messages and new technologies such as social media to communicate with each other.
I agree:
1. Too much use of online communicative tools reduces the efficiency of communication among people. (人们过度依赖发送文本信息和社交网络，使得面对面交流减少，在交流过程中缺乏情感)
2. Too much use of online communicative tools distracts people from their work or study. (人们花了太多的时间使用社交网路，常常盯着屏幕等着别人的回复，使得人们无心于学习和工作)
