As society advances, people’s life quality has vastly improved. Along with the society growth, more people tend to be more outstanding in their field, in another words, they are trying to strengthen their competitiveness. A person who has stronger competitiveness is often employed in a core position of a company, an enterprise that is competitive means that they are harder to surpass, and a country with higher competitiveness is generally more prosperous.

Competition among people can be good thing for a number of reasons. One of the main things is that people are more productive during competition; people push each other to exceed their normal limits which result in increased production. As a student, being in a competitive university always spurs us to self-improvement because in the study life you always need a goal to pursue, other competitor would be a nice motivator to help you reach your goal.

On the other hand, too much competitiveness might cause negative conflicts which result in disliking one another, especially if the one competitor always wins; it probably makes other competitors feel uncomfortable or maybe even frustrating about themselves. Sometimes overwhelming competition would bring plenty of stress to a person which has a possibility of causing physical or mental problems that we don’t truly want in daily life.

Throughout all the aspects, in my opinion, competitiveness for most part is positive, because if between people or companies or even countries without competitors, they won’t find out how grate or how bad they are doing, but with competitors, people have a better view about themselves and others.

The line graph compares average yearly spending by Americans on mobile and landline phone services from 2001 to 2010.

It is clear that spending on landline phones fell steadily over the 10-year period, while mobile phone expenditure rose quickly. The year 2006 marks the point at which expenditure on mobile services overtook that for residential phone services.

In 2001, US consumers spent an average of nearly $700 on residential phone services, compared to only around $200 on cell phone services. Over the following five years, average yearly spending on landlines dropped by nearly $200. By contrast, expenditure on mobiles rose by approximately $300.

In the year 2006, the average American paid out the same amount of money on both types of phone service, spending just over $500 on each. By 2010, expenditure on mobile phones had reached around $750, while the figure for spending on residential services had fallen to just over half this amount.

The information given by the line chart is about the percentage of people aged 65 and over from 1940 to 2040 in three different nations (namely, Japan, Sweden and USA).

As we can see from the three-line chart, in 1940, USA had the largest proportion of elderly people aged 65 and more, taking up nearly to 10%. It increased to 15% during the next four decades, which was closely followed by a leveling off at 14% for nearly 20 years. However, it is estimated to see a dramatic increase to just under 25% in 2040. Similarly, the proportion of old people in Sweden was always lower than that of USA. But, it exceeded the percentage of old people in USA in 1995 and it is expected to hit 25% in 2040, although there will be some fluctuations.

On the contrary, the proportion of people aged 65 and more in Japan saw a decrease from 5% in 1940 to about 3% in 1960 and it kept stable for over 20 years. Interesting, it is expected to grow dramatically and exceed that of Sweden and USA, shooting just over 25% in 2040, becoming the country which will house the most percentage of elderly people.

All in all, it is clear to see that there was and will be a clear difference in the proportion of elderly people aged 65 and more in the three countries.

The charts below show the percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given six pie charts totally illustrate the using proportion of water for three different aspects in six regions worldwide.

Generally in the relatively developed continents including North America and the Europe, the pattern of water-usage distribution shares great similarity, whereas other four underdeveloped regions indicates another type of smaller gaps.

To be more specific, the water utilization of industry is both dominant in the two flourishing territory,approximately half of the whole (48% versus 53%), followed by that of agriculture, which take up marginally more than one-third of the total. In correspondence, the using percentage of water resource for residents is the least, with only 13% and 15% respectively, which still largely exceed the figures for the other four regions.

Apparently, the developing areas invest far more water in agriculture, each having around 80%, and even the least, the figure for South America still constitute 71% while the largest number even reach nearly 90%. Thereby it is obvious that the use of other two respects is bound to be less: no more than 10% domestic use in Central Asia and Southeast Asia. These areas even use less water in industry (merely 5%~7%, with the highest percentage12%). By contrast, people in South America utilize a higher proportion of water in domestic aspect, almost 20%, half of which is used in industrial part of the region.

Overall, the water resource of developed areas is distributed more in economic products involving industry and agriculture, while developing ones only consume a considerable number of water in agriculture.

In today’s world, the environment has become more crucial than ever, people have started to pay attention to the result of increasing industry and daily waste. However, sometimes people won’t even give a little effort to put a bottle in the recycling bin; instead they just throw it in the trash bin. But what truly causes this problem? In my opinion, there are three reasons for it.

Initially, people are apathetic about it, because sometimes it takes more effort to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and people these days are busy with what they doing on their hand like jobs. Besides there is no obligation for them to do it and also nobody spurs them to do it which exacerbates the issue. Even some people aware that, there raises a new problem that people are willing to recycle the wastes but often it’s not convenient for them to do so. For instance, in my city the recycle station for special material usually built far away from residence and generally people unwilling to put a bunch of trash in their house. But after all, people who passive about it mostly due to that they don’t realize how dire the consequence going to be if they don’t do so accordingly some people are still not motivated are act.

If there is a will, there are 3 ways to help. As a part of society, vote and support politician who would pass laws that protect the environment; as a homeowner, reduce, reuse and recycle should become established habits; as a consumer, it is vital to purchase items make from recycled material whenever u can to sustain the environment. Everybody truly does able to make a difference to the environment.

Some people consider that the speaking of a non-native language in one’s country of residence may pose significant problems in terms of everyday living and social relations.

Task：The graphs below show the numbers of male and female workers in 1975 and 1995 in several employment sectors of the republic of Freedonia.

Write a report for a university teacher describing the information shown.

参考范文：

The two decades between 1975 and 1995 brought significant changes in the representation of women in Freedonia's work force, according to the graphs.

In 1975, for example, some 300 000 men and 250 000 women worked in the communications sector. Twenty years later, though the number of men remained unchanged, the number of women rose to 550 000.

A similar situation was seen in the wholesale and retail trade sector, where the number of women rose from about 550 000 in 1975 to almost 800 000 two decades later. The number of men in this sector remained stable over the period, at around 700 000.

Women also made gains in both the finance/banking industries and in the defence-related public sector. Whereas some 125 000 women worked in finance and banking institutions in 1975, the number increased to 450 000 by 1995. The number of men grew only marginally from 425 000 to 480 000 over the same period. In defence, the number of men declined from 225 000 to 200 000, while the number of women rose from 25 000 to over 100 000.

Two sectors that retained stable employment numbers for both men and women were manufacturing, which had about 300 000 women and 650 000 men in both surveyed years, and the public sector (non-defence), which employed 650 000 women and 850 000 men.

Thus, women appear to have made gains in the Freedonian work force but not at the expense of men.

The discussion about whether English becoming a global language has brought us more benefits than risks is a very controversial one. People can hardly reach a consensus on this issue. Before presenting my view, I would like to explore both sides of the argument.

It is very clear that English as a global language has brought us enormous benefits in all aspects of society, which has greatly promoted our economic development. To begin with， as a tool of cross-cultural communication, English promotes mutual understanding and friendship， removing prejudice and h123lity. It is no exaggeration to say that English helps maintain the world peace. Moreover, English offers us a good opportunity to learn from developed countries. For instance, China, a developing country, is in great need of advanced knowledge and technology. English as a global language removes the language barriers for us, so that we can introduce foreign experts to our country more conveniently

However, it can not be denied that English also exerts a negative influence on our human civilization. Since English becomes a dominant language, a large number of indigenous languages are on the verge of extinction, which poses potential risks to the cultural diversity. Just imagine, if everyone in the world looks the same, speaks the same, and thinks the same, our world will become a homogenous one. How terrible it is! It is widely accepted that language is the vehicle of culture, so killing language equals killing culture. In doing so, we erase whole histories and bury entire stories, the richness of which the world loses forever.

Obviously, English like anything else, has more than one face. Its advantages should never keep us from their drawbacks. From my perspective, English and other languages can go side by side with each other, each shinning more brilliantly in the other’s company.
