Duolingo 作文答案

1. "Some young children spend a lot of time practicing sports. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this."

With increasing importance being placed on improving children's physical

fitness, more children spend time doing sports. Since practicing sports

usually involves group work, the spirit of collaboration could be instilled in

children. Moreover, playing sports regularly allows children to form the

habit of exercising, which could benefit children's health in the long run.

This is especially important in modern society when a dentary lifestyle

has become progressively prevalent. However, spending too much time

practicing sports may affect children's academic progress which has been

deemed more significant in this pragmatic society. Therefore, a balance

should be established between practicing sports and children's other activities. (103)

2. Explain how you organized a surpri birthday party.

In order to make the birthday party surprising enough for my friend Jack, I

firstly pretended with all my capabilities that I didn't know it was his

birthday. Then I asked him to fetch a parcel for me, which contains his

birthday gift, from the school mailbox and bring it to my hou. All his other

friends deliberately ignored and isolated him for one day but gathered in my

hou after school to wait for his arrival. Jack emed upt when he rang

the doorbell, but after I let him in and we shouted "Happy birthday Jack"

together, I could e his uncontrollable smile and tears. (106)

3. Imagine that you are preparing for a year-

long trip. In addition to clothing and personal care items (like soap and shampoo), you can bring one additional th

I would bring a Kindle with me for this year-long trip. The first reason is that

my favorite hobby is to read books, for in the process, I can mentally

communicate and exchange ideas and thoughts with the author and hence

enrich my own understandings towards the world I live in. Also, Kindle is

much lighter as compared to piles of physical books and is thus extremely

convenient for me to bring around during this long trip. Therefore, with a

kindle, I can not only acquire the spiritual enjoyment of reading a variety of

books but also avoid the inconvenience caud by the bulky luggage full of books. (108)

4. What kind of places and activities are appealing to old people? Why?

Places and activities that could enhance the elderly’s physical fitness while

giving them a n of home are appealing to old people. Firstly, the elderly

usually suffer from physical weakness, which renders activities such as

climbing mountains and hiking attractive to them. By engaging in exerci

with their friends from places like clubs, the elderly could feel rejuvenated.

Moreover, since their children and grandchildren are busy with their own

jobs or schoolwork, the elderly could be accompanied by their peers

through taking part in a tour group and thus find a n of home.

Therefore, the activities and places would appeal to the elderly the most.

5. Would you rather study at home via technology or study at a traditional school? Why? Give specific reasons for

While some people argue that studying at home is more comfortable, I

prefer studying at a traditional school for higher efficiency and to develop

my interpersonal skills. Firstly, without attractions like YouTube videos and

computer games at home, I could be better concentrated on my class,

which allows me to study more efficiently. Secondly, through engaging in

group activities like project work at a traditional school, I could cultivate my

collaborative ability when communicating with people of different

characteristics to reach an agreement. Therefore, studying at school would be a better choice for me. (94)

6. People have jobs becau they need money to live, but what are some other important reasons that people hav

Besides earning a living, people work for many other important reasons

such as realizing their dreams or ensuring a stable social atmosphere.

Firstly, many people are working in the fields that they are interested in to

fulfill their value of life. By doing rearches or simply accomplishing

assigned tasks, the people could contribute to society through their

preferred ways. Secondly, enabling people to have their own jobs might be

a means for the government to maintain social stability. Since people spend

most of their energy and time doing tasks allocated for them, they are less

likely to engage in unfavorable activities such as conducting crimes. In this

way, a more harmonious social atmosphere could be obtained. Therefore,

people have jobs becau of many different reasons other than making money. (129)

7. Many people visit muums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit muums?

Many people visit muums to learn about local culture and history more

efficiently. Specifically, muums usually contain a plethora of antiques

related to local history. By reading the introduction of the antiques,

visitors could gain a deeper understanding of local culture and traditions.

Moreover, visiting local muums enables people to understand local

development across diver industries like economy and agriculture. This

special knowledge could not be obtained without visiting local muums.

Therefore, many tourists choo to visit muums when they travel to new places. (84)

8. Describe a time when you made a mistake at school or at work. What happened?

When I was in condary school, I was not familiar with the formal language

ud in emails. Upon feeling a ssion of English consultation to be

necessary for me, I wrote an email to my English teacher Andy by saying

that I was desperate for help. Becau of the inappropriate usage of

numerous words like 'desperate', Andy thought that I was facing immen

troubles which turned out to be only a consultation ssion. After this

mistake I made in writing the email, I consulted my classmates and some

professional books to avoid a similar mistake again. (96)

9. Playing a game is fun only if you win. Do you agree or disagree? Give specific reasons for your answer.

I disagree that playing a game is only fun if I win since the process is more

important than the result. Firstly, abundant skills like collaborative ability

could be fostered through playing games. Considering that games

nowadays, be them online or offline, are usually conducted in the form of

groups, the ability to cooperate with people from diver socioeconomic

backgrounds could be instilled in me. Moreover, the experience of playing

games with friends is usually relaxing, regardless of the result. When

playing games, I either compete with competitors or solving problems

together with group members, which provides me with a n of

excitement and thus allows me to prioritize the process over the result.

Therefore, I believe games are fun no matter what the result is. (126)

10. Being lfemployed means either having your own business or working independently. Describe the advantage

lf-employed.

On the bright side, being lf-employed incentivizes people to strive for

their own dreams in order to realize their ambitions and maximum

capacities. In this way, they will no longer be satisfied with completing their

own responsibilities but will try their best to innovate new ideas and

improve their own business. However, being lf-employed may also lead some who lack the lf-

discipline to be habitually indolent. Without external

supervision, the people will easily lo the fighting spirit and their

business will eventually become unsuccessful becau of undue negligence. Therefore, being lf-

employed has its pros and cons and might be more

suitable for people who are fastidious and stringent about disciplines. (110)

11. What is the most important discovery or invention made in the last 100 years? Why? Give specific reasons for y

The most important invention in the last 100 years is the Internet. Becau

of the Internet, people today can communicate instantly with others from

far away using social media and receive information about what is going on

in the world within conds from news agencies. Besides connecting

people around the world, the Internet also provides us with a plethora of

easily accessible entertainment such as online novels and movies on

platforms such as Netflix. Therefore, the Internet is the most significant

invention in the last 100 years for it led us into the Information Age where

people today can live a more convenient and enjoyable life. （106）

12. Describe how you make important decisions, include specific details in your answer.

Whenever I make important decisions, I would firstly list the different

combinations of choices I have at hand. Then I would examine and display

the advantages and disadvantages of each choice to weigh their pros and

cons. In this process, I will arch for more information from my friends or

online resources to make sure that I can have a view as holistic as possible

of the problem. This information might include the direct effect of the choice as well as the long-

term implication with the current trends in

today's society. As such, I can weigh up the costs and benefits to reach a

decision that can maximize my benefits gained both at prent and in the long run. (119)

13. Some parents spoil their children. How might a spoiled child behave when he or she becomes an adult.

Some parents spoil their children by giving the kids whatever they want and

ask for. Brought up under the circumstances, children will tend to be

lfish and take for granted that people should give them whatever they

want. As a result, the spoiled children will become lf-centered adults

who take other people's kindness for granted and disregard the feelings and well-

being of others. Besides, they will be greatly distresd when they

encounter a situation they dislike and cannot endure being challenged or

rejected. Conquently, they will likely be easily defeated by difficulties and

will hardly recover after a tback. (99)

14. A gift like a camera or a pet can contribute to a child's development. What gift would you give to help a child d

In order to help a child develop, I would give him a book named Harry Potter.

This is becau Harry Potter is a book which contains many fascinating story-

lines and engrossing magics. Firstly, the magic world established by

J.K Rowling in this book can enrich a child's imagination and motivate them

to think beyond what is en in our daily lives. Besides, the adventures of

Harry and his friends can also teach a child many qualities such as

resilience in the face of challenges and fortitude while enduring adversities.

Therefore, this book can not only rve as entertainment for the child at

prent, but it can also aid his personal development in the long run. (115)

15. Think about a time when you were able to stay calm in a stressful situation (like a car accident for a

doctor's appointment) What was the situation? How di you handle it? Include specific deatails in your answer.

A situation in which I felt overwhelmingly stressful was during a basketball

competition. It was about half a minute to the end of the competition and

my team was still 2 points behind the other team with the basketball at my

hand. Being the power forward, I had two choices, namely passing the ball

to the small forward or scoring a three-point field goal on my own. Since I

was the captain, I felt propelled to lead my team to won the first prize.

However, internally, I understood the small forward had more chance to

score the goal. After calmly evaluating the chance of winning under the

two conditions, I pasd the ball to the small forward and conquently, my

team won the other by one point. (127)

16. Do you think that the study of history is still important in the modern

world? Provide reasons to support your opinion.

While some people argue that studying history could help people to avoid

similar mistakes in the modern world, I insist that the study of history is no

longer relevant in today's society. Firstly, the fast-changing nature of

society renders people to face a totally new t of problems like global

warming and population aging which have never been encountered before.

Investing more time and resources in solving the problems using

technology is much more effective and efficient than looking for solutions

by studying history. Moreover, in this competitive society, people should

prioritize more practical skills and knowledge over studying history to gain a

prosperous career. Hence, the study of history is no longer important in the modern world. (118)

17. Name a skill that you think all little kids should know how to do. Why should this skill be taught in elementary

have helped you or made your childhood easier?

I think all little kids should have the ability to imagine. Imagination should be

cultivated in kids since young so that they could develop the capability to

create and innovate new ideas or contribute to the invention of new objects.

If I had been equipped with imaginary skills, I would not have been

perplexed by how to write beautiful primary school Chine compositions

that require fascinating storylines compod of imaginations. Furthermore,

I would neither be troubled by what pictures to draw when the teacher told

us to create something from our imaginations during drawing lessons.

Therefore, I believe it is important for all little kids to acquire the skill to imagine. (111)

18. Describe a famous historical person that you would like to meet. Who

was this person. Why did they become famous? Include specific details in your answer.

If given the chance, I would like to meet Zhu Geliang, the military counlor

of Country Shu during the Spring and Autumn Period, who is known for his

tactics. Though with abundant natural resources, Country Shu was short of

the labor force and experienced a lag of economic development. However,

by wily manipulating the allocation of resources to develop the local

economy while investing in military development, Zhu Geliang contributed

significantly in shaping Country Shu into one of the most powerful countries

at that time. Given that I have always been worshiping Zhu Geliang for his

foresightedness, I would like to meet him to discuss how could the

strategies be applied to our current society. (115)

19. Describe a situation when you felt that something was not fair. What happened? Include specific details in you

There was a time when I was competing with my best friend Amy to be the

class rep. Before the final result came out, I was pretty agitated for I felt

that Amy could be a much better class rep than me in many respects. For

example, she was more responsible and fastidious than me, so she could

better perform administrative tasks. Therefore, I was astonished when I was

appointed as the class rep, and this astonishment later became indignation

when the teacher said that she cho me becau my grades were better

than Amy's. I was greatly disturbed by the unfairness that more importance

is attached to grades instead of personal abilities. (113)

1. If you have children, what is one thing you would do differently

from your parents? Why would you do this? How would this choice

impact your children?

I must contend that one thing I would do to my child in the future is supporting

them to play the piano, which is one of the most tricky but charming instruments in

the world. My parents could not afford the piano lessons when I was a child, so it

has always been a pity for me. Playing the piano could not only draw their

attention but also could relax them from the pressure. Most of the students in the

school have heavy academics now, so it's the best way to unwind and relea their

stress by playing a piece of work so that they could immer themlves in the

beautiful melody.

2. Imagine that you are preparing for a year long trip. In addition to

clothing and personal care items. (like soap and shampoo) you can

bring one additional thing. What would you bring? Why? Give

specific reasons for your answer.

One thing I choo to stay with me during the long trip must be my cellphone.

Mainly becau a cellphone is multifunctional and it can substitute many different

devices. In detail, it's common for us to regard the cellphone as a recreational

machine, a camera or a bookstore since it offers multiple applicants for us to

download, such as games, cameras, and e-books. Once I take a break, the books on

the cellphone provide knowledge for me. The apps will make my journey

convenient and fulfill.

3. A gift like a camera or a pet can contribute to a child's

development. What gift would you give to help a child develop?

Why? Give specific reasons for your answer.

The gift I want to give to help a child develop must be the books. I must contend

that books do bring many benefits. In detail, books can not only enhance the

reading ability of children but also enlarge their knowledge. For example, reading

comic books can increa children's interest in learning. With the combination of

pictures and texts, the stories in the graphic novel are vivid and attractive. As a

result, children get fascinated by the story and greatly increa their vocabulary. So

I believe a book is the best option to give children as a gift.

4. Playing a game is fun only if you win, do you agree or disagree?

Give specific reasons for your answer.

As the saying goes: failure is the mother of success, so I must contend that I

disagree with the view that only the winner can enjoy the game. From my

perspective, we must pay more attention to the process of the game rather than its

result. If you enjoy the process, no matter win or lo, you will feel abundance and

delightful. For example, if you are playing chess with your friend, when there is a

winner, there is a lor. If you always blame yourlf for losing the game, you won't

make any progress, but if you calm down and learn some tricks from your rival, you

will get the chance to defeat him.

5. Think about a time when you were able to stay calm in a stressful

overwhelmed with all the things I had to do. I suffered from vere insomnia and

could not concentrate on my academics. It was uncomfortable so I ek our college

6. Being lf-employed means either having your own business or

working independtly. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of

being lf-employed.

From my perspective, being lf-employed does have its merits. In detail, you can

have very flexible working time and need not following the stubborn rules. For

example, if you are an owner of a restaurant, you needn't cook food or do the

rvice becau that's the job for cookers and waiters. All you need is to manage

your restaurant. Let your staffs make profits for you. However, the defect is that

you must take the risk if you have your own business. Cookers and waiters can

change the job easily, but if you can not manage your restaurant well, you may go

bankrupt and take all the responsibilities.

7. What is the most important discovery or invention made in the last

100 years? Why? Give specific reasons for your answer.

From my perspective, the most significant invention made in the last ten decades

must be the cellphone. Mainly becau a cellphone is multifunctional and it can

substitute many different devices. In detail, it's common for us to regard the

cellphone as a recreational machine, a camera or a bookstore since it offers

multiple applicants for us to download, such as games, cameras, and e-books. Also,

the cellphone is light and portable that people can carry it everywhere they go. All

in all, i believe the cellphone is definitely the greatest invention in last 100 years.

8. Some young children spend a lot of time practicing sports. Discuss

the advantages and disadvantages of this.

I must contend that playing sports regularly does have its merits. In detail, sports

help students to strengthen muscles, increa blood flow and also stimulate their

bones. Young children have a golden age to grow taller and build a healthy body.

However, playing sports regularly may not benefit some frail children, who can not

do prolonged exerci. For tho kids, doing exerci may cau heart dia.

Also, the priority of children should be studying, playing too many sports occupied

their study time so they should trade-off.

9. Describe how you make important decisions. Include specific

details in your answer.

I am the kind of person that always make decisions with my heart and soul. In

another word, I think is important to listen to your inner wisdom and stop the inner

chatter of lf-doubt. For example, once I was in a relationship, and I know that

isn't right though we get along really well. It's hard, I struggled, but finally, I

decided to broke up. I believe sadness is an only short-term impact, but the long-

term impact of making a decision from my heart and soul, that is where the best

life comes from.

10. Do you think that the study of history is still important in the

modern world？Provide reasons to support your opinion.

My point is that learning history is still significant. Firstly, history is a vital part of

the culture, which is the spiritual backbone of a nation. Through learning history,

we can appreciate the culture of a country, as well as the history of its

development, so that we can understand our nation better. Secondly, history

learning helps us to make the correct decision. By review the history of our

nation’s development, we can avoid some mistakes which we had made in the

past and draw lessons from past experiences, which is helpful for us to make the

correct decision.

11. Name a skill that you think all little kids should know how to do.

Why should this skill be taught in elementary school? How would

knowing this have helped you or made your childhood easier?

From my perspective, learn a music instrument is crucial for the kids. Mainly

becau it is fantastic for the development of kids' brains. Playing an instrument

involves almost all brain areas at the same time. It trains the visual, auditory and

motor skills, and engages our emotions, that not only help their eyes, ears, and

hands, but also all other areas to prosper. When I was a kid, practicing an

instrument taught me that I got better with training, and I understood the value of

teamwork when I enmb with others. That's also why it is esntial in elementary

school.

12. Describe a famous historical person that you would like to meet.

Who was this person? Why did they become famous? Include specific

details in your answer.

The person I would like to meet if possible is Confucius, who is considered the

greatest of the ancient Chine sages. He believes that human character is formed

in the family and by education in ritual literature and history. A person cultivated in

this way works to help others, guiding them by moral inspiration rather than brute

force. He put his philosophy into practice and finally became a philosopher. He

helped shaped Chine culture and we recognize his name worldwide, even today.

And his saying :”Do not inflict upon others that which you yourlf would not

want”, is still sage advice.

you rather study at home via technology or study at a

traditional school? Why? Give specific reasons for your answer.

From my perspective, I prefer a study in a bricks-and-mortar classroom. Mainly

becau only a physical classroom can provide a lively face-to-face discussion with

our teachers and classmates. The knowledge is more understandable through the

vivid explanation by the teachers, and once you come across any problems, you

can turn to your teacher for help. The help students to develop good learning

habits and improve their academic skills. What's more, learning in a traditional

classroom help students form clo friendships. As a result, they are able to learn

how to cooperate with others and gain social skills.
