参考答案：
Should Students Go Abroad to Study?
Nowadays, a growing number of students are planning to study abroad. However, people's opinions are sharply divided on this issue. For example, my friend James is studying in the USA and tells me about his overseas life and study. According to him, there are many advantages. Firstly, studying overseas forces him to cope with everything by himself, and broadens his horizons as well. Secondly, this experience is conducive to a better career path in that it has developed both his abilities and personality. Last but not least, many developed countries offer a relatively better education.
On the contrary, another friend of mine, Claire, never agrees with James. She claims that as we have never stepped on foreign lands, it is unwise to follow the trend blindly. Furthermore, the culture gap could not be ignored, which may create obstacles for cross-cultural communication. The more barriers one meets, the more discouraged one may become. In addition, the expenses are too high for most families.
As for me, I do not agree with either of them. With regard to James' opinion, I believe one's success lies in what one is striving for instead of where one is. I know some people who came back from abroad could not find a job while some others who received education at home have succeeded in their own fields. As for Claire's opinion, I don't think it is wise to reject everything before trying and gaining a whole picture of it. We should believe in ourselves in dealing with what we may encounter. Indecision about whether to study abroad makes no sense. What really counts is the determination at the time of decision and the willpower after that.

The Ticket Prices in the Golden Week:
To Raise or Not to Raise?
The seven-day National Day holiday has come to an end. It seems as a trend that the ticket prices of many scenic spots have been raised higher than usual during the golden-week holiday. Take Mount Huangshan in Anhui Province for example, the price is around 340 yuan per person.
On the one hand, some people point out that during the golden week raising ticket prices of popular scenic spots can help promote the development of local economies and increase local revenues to a large extent. What's more, increased revenues can be partly invested into daily maintenance of scenic spots, so as to provide a better environment for more potential visitors. On the other hand, a group of people are still against such practice during the golden week. Firstly, higher prices cannot guarantee better services. Besides, higher ticket prices will discourage many people from visiting scenic spots, which is not beneficial for the development of the tourism industry in the long run.
As far as I am concerned, to make profits by means of raising ticket prices is the same as killing the goose that lays the golden egg. We must bear the concept in mind that customers are of great importance. Furthermore, as scenic spots are mainly historical or cultural heritage with beautiful scenery, the government shouldn't regard them as commercial products and drain profits from them desperately. Protecting them is the major task of the government instead of focusing on making profits from them.

开门见山，直入正题——在文章的开头就直接点明主题。
引用名言警句，推出主题——在文章开头引用一些名言或警句，以此来引出自己的观点，也是一种不错的方法。
描述现象，引发主题——这种写法要求先描述一种普遍存在的现象，然后再发表对该现象的看法和观点，从而点明主题。
陈述人们对讨论话题的不同看法，然后提出自己的观点——引用人们对某一话题不同观点的阐释后，提出自己的看法。
自问自答，引出主题——这种方式要求针对某话题先提出问题，然后给予解答，通过答案的方式来呈现观点。
以生活事件开篇，导出全文主题——从身边熟悉的人或事引发感想，导出主题，显得自然、贴切。
以上几种方法都比较常见，作文开头要精练，不要出现不必要的语法错误，这样就行了。

参考答案：
Flash Marriage
There is a general discussion today about the phenomenon of flash marriage among young people. As it indicates literally, flash marriage describes establishing the marital relationship in a fraction of time, skipping the period of knowing and getting along with each other. Some argue that such speedy relationship may not last long. But people who advocate marriage freedom argue that young people have their own opinion about marriage and can be responsible for their behavior.
As society progresses, people's conception of marriage is changing. Financial burdens of keeping up a long-term relationship before marriage have proven to be too difficult for many lovers to handle. Speedy marriages seem to be more economical. But, flash marriage, or getting married without careful consideration, may cause severe social problems. One extreme example published by a Chinese newspaper goes like this: a young couple married in the morning, argued at midday and divorced in the afternoon. Flash marriage, for lack of mutual understanding, may lead to higher rates of divorce.
In my eyes, flash marriage is not fit for most of the young people. It is only acceptable to people who are mentally and psychologically mature and with a certain economic foundation. It's surely more sensible to know more about your partner before going down the aisle.

参考答案：
On College Students' Freedom
Compared with high school students, college students enjoy much more freedom. They get a lot of time at their own disposal, they have diverse courses to choose from, and they can also make decisions on their daily affairs.
If the students can make good use of this freedom, they may benefit a lot in many aspects. For students who have particular interest in some subjects, they may pursue further study in those fields. For students who are keen in social work, they can join various organizations or associations to develop and display their abilities. And for students who want to support themselves, they may take some part-time jobs to make money.
On the other hand, excessive freedom can also have negative influence on college students. Faced with so much free time and so many choices, some students may get puzzled. Some of them may feel overwhelmed or aimless due to too many courses they register for or various activities they get involved in. Moreover, some students even get lost in the face of too much liberty. Eventually, they will be spoiled and lose their self-control. As a result, they may become addicted to computer games or idle away their precious time in various meaningless entertainments.
As a college student, I think two things may help us take full advantage of freedom. First, we must set up clear goals for life and study, and learn to prioritize things. Second, we should realize that freedom means responsibility. We have to be rational in every single decision that we make. In this way freedom can make our college life more colorful and more meaningful.
