小作文（旧题）：The table below shows the population changes from 1950 to 2000,and the  prediction of population in 2050,.

范文

The sheet reveals how the population of Australia,  Europe, Japan and North America altered between 1950 and 2000 and the  projection in the year 2050.

Obviously, Europe and North America have a huge  population. From 1950 to 2000, the population of Europe increased from 340.4  to 450.6 million while the figure for North America rose from 171.3 to 314.3  million, with the former experiencing an average annual rise of 0.5% whereas  the later 1.2%. In 2050, it is predicted that Europe will have a growth rate  of 0.3% annually and a population of 379.2 million. By contrast, North  America will witness a faster increase rate of 0.6% each year and a  population of 417.8 million in the middle of the twenty first century.

In comparison, Japan and Australia seem to have fewer  people. The period from 1950 to 2000 witnessed Japan’s population growth at  0.8% yearly from 83.4 to 127.5 million, and that of Australia at 1.7% per  annum from 8.2 to 19.1 million. Up to 2050, populations of both regions are  projected to slow down at a growth rate of about 0.55% annually with that of  Japan arriving at 98 million and that of Australia reaching 25.2 million.

In sum, although there was and will be a larger  population in the four areas in question, fortunately the average growth  rates for all of them will slow down.

题目

Some people believe that having too many TV  channels is good for people，while some other pole believe  that it only brings some poor quality TV programs. Discuss both views and  give your own opinion.

范文

It is debated that although the number of  TV channels is on the rise, the quality of their programs deteriorates. In  the essay, both positive and negative sides of the phenomenon will be  expounded.

On the one hand, a wider range of TV  channels means varieties and specialties. For audience, children, youngsters,  adults and seniors can choose the channels according to their own will, such  as cartoon, sports, series and news channels. They do not have to sacrifice  their time on programs that they do actually favor. Besides, for each TV  channel, program producers can focus on one particular field elaborately  rather than cover all areas roughly. Therefore, there will be romance, war,  and detective films broadcast in one channel throughout the day rather than  just one column of film limited in one particular hour.

On the other hand, more channels might  trigger problems. One most prominent defect is that under if a corporation is  in charge of just one channel, the company could invest all its money on a  dozen of programs. In contrast, if the limited budget is distributed to  several channels, thus several dozens of programs, then the quality must be  influenced negatively. What is more, more channels may cause conflicts  between families as to stay on which one eventually. If family members just  watch the channel they themselves like, then there will be more TVs but less  common topics and looser relationship bonds.

In conclusion, more options of channels can  both be a blessing thanks to program diversification and refinement and be a  curse in terms of finance and relationships. In my view, advantages of  choices override disadvantages because money can be earned from the audience,  the government and commercial companies while family bonds can maintained in  other ways.
