第一套:
Taking children to field trips( for example, to a museum) is a better
way of education than learning at school in a classroom.
这道题目是一个比较对比类的题目。此类题目在托福写作中是非常常见的。对于这
类题目,我们应该注意的是,在分论点的展开过程中,应该每一段都体现出题目中两
个对象的比较和对比。另外,此题属于校园生活类话题,在历年的托福考题中也并不
鲜见,难度并不大。
例文:
People have always been looking for effective ways to educate our
children, who determines the future of a nation. In that case, some
original and creative teachers start their classes with field trips,
which I believe is a better way than learning at school in a classroom
in educating students.
In the first place, going on field trips enables the students to study
actively and positively. The unknown excitement and adventures of field
trips can always attract the students as it is the nature of them to be
curious about the events that they rarely or never experienced. Before
the trips, they will be so curious that they will do research on the
destinations, looking for their origin and history. And that
helps with the ability to gain information from a variety of approaches,
libraries, magazines, TV programs, the internet, and so forth. Conversely, in
normal everyday classes, the students have to study what the textbooks and
teachers tell them, where there exists no internal motivation, which is an
essential part for efficient learning. we can see that the traditional
classrooms creates passive learning, whereas the field trips contributes more
to active learning.
In addition, the active learning resulting from out-of-classroom
activities lasts longer than passive learning and helps the students
understand the theories and principles better. As different field trips
possesses different excitement, students curiosity never reduces. On the
other hand, young people can
study better by witnessing how the theories and principles work and how great
the masters’ works are.
Students remember things when they are experiencing in person instead of
listening to stories in normal classrooms.
I admit that there might be some disadvantages on the field trips, which
classrooms do not have. It might be hard for the teachers to put the
students in order and ensure their security. But as long as we have enough
teachers taking care of them on the trip and tell them to obey the rules,
the students will be easy to deal with and we can minimize the possibility
of danger. As a result, we cannot sacrifice the beauty of field trips
because of the problems that we can handle.
To sum up, the benefits that field trips can bring is evident and
schools should provide more opportunities for the students to go on the
trips. In this way, the students will be more active in learning and the
study efficiency will be improved and they will create a more beautiful
world for us, using the knowledge they obtained on campus.

例文:
The most unforgettable memories in my childhood was when I sat in the
kitchen and watch my mother cook delicious food for me. While cooking, she
usually tells me stories and the philosophy of life of those stories.
Until today, she cooks for me in the way she did when I was little.
However, in twenty years from
now, society will undergo great changes and so will people’s cooking habits.
They wonderful cooking
moments will not appear and people will spend less time in cooking.
In the first place, the development of technology allows people to reduce
the time spent in cooking and preparing for food, which can be predicted
through what is happening now, compared with what it was in the past. Today,
we have microwave ovens, electromagnetic ovens, blenders and many other
cookers to accelerate the cooking process. What took hours hours for us to
prepare costs only a few minutes. So we can safely say that in twenty years
from now, the technology will be more advanced and continue to help us
reduce the time for cooking. And the new equipment will be widely welcomed.
In addition, the speed at which people live will increase and people
will be busier. With the increment of human population, the job market
will be more and more fierce. In order not to get swept out of the work
place, people will have to devote more to their work and leave less time
for other activities in life,cooking, for example. And this is the reason
why I mentioned the popularity of new cooking devices in the last
paragraph.
Using the advanced cooking devices is not the only way that people use
to deal with the complicated work. Also, deep down in their mind, they
will love to buy whatever they think is delicious to reward themselves
for the sacrifice in work. They have already worked hard enough to make a
living and the dishes from good restaurants, which are more delicious
than the one cooked by themselves, is exactly what they deserve. Thus, it
is evident that they will cook or prepare food by themselves less.
Admittedly, some food in restaurants is not healthy enough and is
sometimes not clean. But I believe that, in twenty years, the supervision
of the government will be more comprehensive and we can minimize this
kind of problem.
How you cook or whether you cook or not does not matter. What really
matters is the health and happiness. So choosing a healthier way to cook
and eat is essential for the future happiness, which we all pursue.

Throughout the colonial period, after the middle of the seventeenth century,
the one great source of irritation between the mother country and her
colonies was found in the Navigation Acts. The twofold object of these acts
was to protect English shipping, and to secure a profit to the home country
from the colonies. As early as the reign of Richard II steps had been taken
for the protection of shipping, but not before 1651 were there any British
statutes that seriously hampered colonial trade. The Long Parliament in
1642, exempted New England exports and imports from all duties, and a few
years later all goods carried to the southern colonies in English vessels
were put on the free list
In 1651, however, while Cromwell was master of England, the first of the
famous Navigation Acts was passed. The chief provisions were, that no goods
grown or manufactured in Asia, Africa, or America should be transported to
England except in English vessels, and that the goods of any European
country imported into England must be brought in British vessels, or in
vessels of the country producing them. The law was directed against the
Dutch maritime trade, which was very great at that time. But it was nowhere
strictly enforced, and in New England scarcely at all.
In 1660 the second of these memorable acts was passed, largely embodying
the first and adding much
to it This act forbade the importing into or the
exporting from the British colonies of any goods except in English or
colonial ships2 and it forbade certain enumerated articles -- tobacco,
sugar, cotton, wool, dyeing woods, etc. -- to he shipped to any country,
except to England or some English plantation. Other goods were added at a
later date. Such goods were to pay heavy duties when shipped to England,
and in 1672 the same duties were imposed on goods sold from one colony to
another. Had these laws been strictly enforced, the effect on the colonies
that produced the "enumerated" articles would have been disastrous, for
they enjoyed a flourishing trade in these goods with other countries. Other
articles, such
as grain, salt provisions, and fish, were not put on the
list, because these were produced in England, and, had the entire colonial
production been sent to that country, the English producer would have been
ruined.3 Rice was also allowed to be shipped direct to all ports south of
Cape Finisterre. Some things, however, the Parliament did purely to favor
the colonies,-- it prohibited the raising of tobacco in England and kept
Spanish tobacco out by high duties, it kept out Swedish iron by a high
tariff, to the advantage of the colonies, and it paid a bounty on various
colonial products.
In addition to these laws there were two other classes of laws, all,
however,
belonging
to
the
same
system,
which
tended
to
impede
the
development
of
the
colonies,
?the
corn
laws
and
the
laws
against
manufacturing. The corn laws in the interest of the British farnier,
beginning about 1666, practically shut out from England grain raised in the
colonies. This drove New England and New York to manufacturing, and this
again led England to forbid manufacturing in the colonies. These laws were
far more effective than the Navigation Acts. It is stated that in 1708 New
York manufactured three fourths of the woolen and linen goods used in the
colony, and also fur hats in great numbers, many of which were shipped to
Europe and the West Indies. This trade was largely suppressed by English
laws passed at various times. In 1732 an act forbade the exporting of hats
to England, to foreign countries, or from one colony to another. It also
limited the number of persons a maker of hats might employ. Iron was found
in all the colonies, and forges and furnaces were established in many
places. But in 1750 Parliament enacted a
law declaring that "no mill or other engine for rolling or slitting iron/'
"nor any furnace for making steel shall be erected in the colonies"! After
this only pig and bar iron could be made. Parliament also enacted laws at
various times restricting the manufacture of woolen goods. These laws bore
heavily on the northern colonies, but were little felt in the South, where
manufactories were rare.
Probably the harshest of England's laws in the suppression of colonial
trade was the Molasses Act of 1733. By this act prohibitive duties were
placed on molasses and sugar, from the French West Indies to the colonies.4
New England enjoyed a great trade with the islands, receiving molasses and
sugar for flour, stock, lumber, and fish, part of which could not be sold
to England owing to the corn laws. Had the Molasses Act been enforced, the
prosperity of New England would have been at an end.
