Independent Writing:Does modern technology help students learn more information and learn it more quickly?
Sample Writing:
Marvelous as it looks at first sight, modern technology does not help students learn information at a greater speed and with higher efficiency in most cases; or it could work towards the opposite direction which led students to lose their initiative to learn and explore.
First of all, one property of modern technology is latently harmful to any learning mind – it distracts. One thing we feel about when we are searching for information online is that the internet, as an outstanding example of modern technology and even regarded as the innovator of education, provides us with not only relevant results to make use of, but also external links to click. More than once I turned on my computer to check school library for resources, but ended up watching YouTube videos. In this case, computer as a representative of modern technology plays a negative role in learning information. We do acquire more information with the convenient tool, yet most of them are irrelevant and in the end procrastinating would lower our learning.
Also, students would easily become disoriented in the huge sea of information. Although modern technology could equip us with easy access to information, the huge amount of resources would actually leave us discombobulated. Therefore, it is only we possess information more quickly rather than we learn it more quickly. An illustrating example is my experience with a HK digital library which stores almost all the books I desire. At first I enjoyed downloading them from the database, however, one month later I ended up with hundreds of books stored in my hardware yet none of them finished or ever clicked.
Furthermore, modern technology gives students an illusion that information and real knowledge is easy to learn – just by clicking mouse or watching videos. But in fact this forms only the first step towards useful information and effective learning, as learning of any kind requires full concentration and interactive thinking, which are almost absent in the process of popular e-learning experience.
To summarize, modern technology does not help students learn more information and learn it more quickly, though it does make access to information and resources much more easily. The popular e-learning still lacks the concentration, depth, and interaction that are the hallmark of traditional ways of educating and learning.

Some people believe that women should play an equal role as men in a country's police force or military force, while others think women are not suitable for these kinds of jobs. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Sample Writing:
Just 100 years ago, policewomen or women soldiers were basically unheard of, yet now in many countries, women can be part of the police force and military force.
Understandably, people arguing for gender equality probably deem it an unalienable right for some females to pursue their dream career in the army or police. To exclude women from such recruitments is a blatant infringement of their basic interest of opting for their desirable jobs. Also, the female inborn nature of being attentive and tender makes them particularly proper in inquiring victims involved in sexual assault or child amuse as policewomen as well as in taking care of the injured in battles as nursing soldiers. Not afraid of the accusation of being biased against women or even male chauvinistic, I strongly believe that men and only men should be members of the police and military force.
In the first place, being a policeman or soldier is extremely demanding physically. With very few exceptions, women are not possibly able to withstand the long hours of military training. For example, a policeman or a soldier sometimes has to remain exposed to the strong sunlight or the heavy storms hours after hours, or run many miles with heavy things carried on. This means a soldier must possess great strength, stamina and endurance. While I am not willing to say that all women are lacking in these qualities, I am pretty sure that most women are not physically fit to do all these.
Furthermore, if a woman plans to join the police or the army, she will have to deal with a number of social issues. For instance, her parents may have strong objections to this choice of hers, because with a daughter in the police or army, they may meet with inquiring and doubtful eye from their neighbors and friends. It was for this reason that my cousin sister had to give up her dream of becoming a soldier. Even if a woman does become part of the police or the army, she will have to learn to face a world full of the opposite sex. She may feel completely at odds with the rules and disciplines which are designed predominantly for men.
Based on the above discussion, I cling to the idea that it is more reasonable for women to take jobs which are less physically demanding and challenging.
