Scores and the ability

Nowadays, it seems that what many students pursue is just high scores. Many people, especially teachers and parents always attach great importance to (高度重视) scores, thinking a student who gets good scores is bound to (一定会) do everything well.【介绍现状】

There is no denying that (毫无疑问…) good scores make a big difference to us students. Only those who get high marks can get access to (有机会进入) their desirable universities. To some extent (在某种程度上)，scores impact a student’s future greatly. But that doesn’t mean scores are everything. It’s widely recognized that (……是公认的) some abilities can’t be measured by exam scores. These abilities are actually of greater significance (更重要) for our long-term development.【评论现状】

From my perspective, we are supposed to improve our hands-on and interpersonal skills (提高我们的动手能力和人际交往技巧) by participating in various activities, which are crucial to (对……至关重要) our overall development. Additionally, we should read more books to broaden our horizons and apply what we have learnt in class to our practical life (把课堂所学应用于实际生活). All in all, put our ability in the first place, and high scores are just something that flows naturally from (来自) our commitment and efforts (投入和努力).【个人观点】

Chemical farming or organic farming?

Organic farming differs from chemical farming and has both advantages and disadvantages.【开篇点题】

Secondly, organic farming is environmentally friendly, causing little soil and groundwater pollution.【有机耕作的好处】

Even though organic farming has so many advantages, it also has some drawbacks. For one thing (一方面)，it can be quite costly for farmers who engage in (从事) organic farming to get all the necessary equipment. For another (另一方面)，it’s much more time-consuming and demanding, thus making it unsuitable to conduct on a large scale (大规模地).【有机耕作的弊端】

I think organic farming is preferable to (比……更好) chemical farming because the advantages of organic farming outweigh the disadvantages, especially in the long term (从长期来) when environmental impact and human health are taken into account (被考虑在内).【个人观点及理由】

参考范文

Nowadays，Artificial Intelligence, short for AI, has been widely applied to (被广泛应用于) many aspects in our life. Many people are concerned that AI will replace human labor in the future and cause mass unemployment.【介绍现象】

It cannot be denied that (不可否认) AI will definitely replace human labor in some industries, but it’s unlikely to be used in all walks of life (各行各业). In some special fields, robots can't do highly demanding tasks because they are programmed, not creative. What’s more, AI technology still has a long way to go to full maturity (要达到完全成熟还有很长的路要走)，so it’s unnecessary to worry about unemployment.【个人看法】

As students, we should develop our creativity. After all, it is the ability to create something new that makes us smarter than robots.【应对措施】

Personally, my plan mainly consists of (由………组成) three parts. To begin with, I’ll devote myself to studies, hoping to be admitted to (被……录取) Peking University to study medicine in one year.  In addition, I intend to work as a volunteer at a nursing home, sparing half a day every weekend to accompany the old people. Last but not least, I’ll keep on practicing (坚持练习) badminton twice a week to keep fit. Hopefully, when I open the time capsule four years later, I’ll find my plan well carried out and my wishes realized.【计划与愿望】

Does it sound interesting? Make your own time capsule and I’m sure you’ll meet a better self in the future.【鼓励对方制作】
