　　Intelligence-Nature or Nurture?

　　Nowadays, there is no agreement among people concerning intelligence. Some people contend that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. And the closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.

　　However, others maintain that environment plays a crucial role in our intelligence. For instance, if we put two identical twins in different environments, we might send one to university and the other to a factory where the job is boring, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later.

　　Just as every coin has two sides, our intelligence is partly born and partly developed. The sure way to develop our intelligence is intelligent parents as well as a good environment.

　　Parents Are the Best Teachers

　　It is your parents who teach you to walk; it is your parents who teach you to speak; it is your parents who teach you to do these basic things in your life. Thus parents should be the best teachers!

　　First of all, parents know us more than others do. Parents give us life, and I consider that we will spend plenty of time with them. Therefore, they learn about our merit and shortcomings clearly. At the same time, they will help us to shake off our demerit. Besides, parents own much more life experience than us. Sometimes, they are just like our models. And as the saying goes: “Example is better than precept.” Thus we will unconsciously imitate some of our parents' habits and styles of behavior, which means that we can learn good things from them.

　　Just as the saying goes: “There is no place like home.” And I think there is no teacher like our parents. They are the best teachers in our life.

　　据称，在你所在社区内将建一个大型购物中心。你同意还是反对这个计划?为什么?请说出具体的理由。

　　A Shopping Center in the Neighborhood

　　Although large shopping centers are very convenient and good places to spend free time, they can also bring some disadvantages, and for this reason I would disagree with the building of one in my neighborhood.

　　First of all, one disadvantage of having a large shopping center would be a great increase in traffic. More cars would not only bring traffic jams but also noise and parking problems. Second, a large shopping center requires a lot of space. To build one, some open space would have to be sacrificed. We might no longer have room for a sports ground.

　　Just because of the above disadvantages, I would oppose any plan to construct a large shopping center in my neighborhood. Although it is necessary for me to visit shopping centers on occasion, I could spend some time traveling to another one not far away. My neighborhood is a peaceful and quiet place and I hope it will stay that way.
