2、The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree? （暴力）

同意：暴力犯罪上升一个原因是很多人模仿主角的暴力行为。电影和电视美化暴力（glorify violence用被动），忽略受害人及其家人的痛苦，意识不到后果严重性，很多人尤其青少年为了实现做英雄的梦想去模仿主角行为，导致暴力犯罪。

反对：暴力电视和电影不是诱发犯罪的主要原因，暴力犯罪主要原因是贫困和缺乏教育。

贫困……

教育……

保护传统文化有很多更可行的途径

传统建筑确实象征传统文化，可以保留一些有特殊意义的传统建筑而不是建设新的

2、  Some people think that too much money has been spent looking after and repairing old buildings, so we should knock down old buildings and build modern ones instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

男女性别类通常会和教育，工作和家庭等话题结合考，但是无论和什么话题结合都按照如下思路去写：

1、承认存在普遍的gender differences，males/females有哪些qualities适合什么类型的工作

但是有特殊情况（有些女性男性擅长领域很优秀反之亦然）

2、gender differences 在缩小或者在工作领域发生了一些改变对性别的要求不明显

3、gender equality 根据个人能力和喜好不是按照性别的工作
