参考范文
In my opinion, moving to a new place to study or work has the following advantages: first, you have more chances to get to know new and interesting people, which helps to expand your social circle and give you more opportunity to make new friends; for example, I met my best friend Linda, after I was transferred to a new senior high school in a new city. Second, you are also more likely to be exposed to a new local culture, experiencing totally different life-style or cultural values, which might be totally surprising and fascinating.
Task 2

Do you agree or disagree that students should learn to draw or paint.
题型归纳：【态度选择偏好】
题库分类类型：entertainment【娱乐类】lifestyle【生活方式话题】
题目翻译：学生是否应该学习绘画?
题目解析：本题是典型的“学习和爱好”对比题，相对限定条件较多，已归定是“绘画”，且规定了人物范围：学生。如考生已准备自己的素材，可以选择自己已备好的理由进行说理论证。若未准备，可以从“劳逸结合”这一点出发进行补充，从学术学习vs业余爱好进行优劣比较，即“学和玩的权衡”。答案不予限定，言之有理，论证有理有据即可。
[ 应该 ]
①学习压力大，绘画有缓解作用
②绘画培养学习中没有的能力(如空间理解能力，如比例计算能力)
[ 不应该 ]
①学习时间有限，绘画本身是非常耗时的活动
②绘画对于资金要求很高(需要购买专业绘画工具，绘画板，画笔，绘画班报名费等)
参考范文
I agree with the statement, coz first, they offers students a good way to release pressure; nowadays students are under a huge amount of school work pressure, like we have to take classes almost 8 hours, and deal with endless exam and class assignments; painting or drawing definitely offers a good way to blow off steam or unwind; also, it helps students to enhance artistic taste and offer the needed inspirations, like sometimes when I am stuck in math, a short period of immersion in painting will refresh my mind and help me to crack the problem.
独立写作
welcome
It is important to read and watch news presented by people whose views are different from our own than read and watch views presented by people whose views are similar to our own.
这一次题目比较长，与独立写作题目惯常的简洁风格不太一样。
题目翻译如下：与其听那些与我们想法相似的人的观点，我们更应该去听那些与我们想法不同的人的观点。
三人行必有我师;师者，传道、授业、解惑。
中华传统文化告诉我们，身边的人群里面，总有一些人是值得我们学习的。而我们到底该和谁学习?我们是该游走在我们熟悉的人与事之间，只听那些让我们轻松、自在的言论吗?亦或是走出舒适圈里(comfort zone)，去看看我们所不熟悉的世界?
你们懂我，我不是一个元论者。我曾经想过要简简单单的想总题，但是越长大越单纯不起来，尤其是教了
如果我们能够多接触些与我们观念不同的人，我们往往更能够现实的看待问题。我们无法以自我为中心(ego-centric)，或者准确来说无法把自己的小圈子当作世界的中心。一百个读者，一百个哈姆雷特。一百万网民，很多种王宝强。在我们做决定时，兼听则明，从而可以避免我们陷入偏执。和而不同的与各种人待在一起，不是为了做君子，只是这样更能活明白一点。
好吧，上面那段我是从教育学的角度来思考问题的。虽然我们一直在喊: Come on! Get out of your comfort zone! 但也不是说，总和那些意见与我们相左的人在一起就一定是在成长。我们也没有必要总和自己过不去。有风度的人，当别人在伴演“仗义执言，忠言逆耳”的角色，还可以点头、微笑，然后做自己认为对的事。可是，必须要承认，与我们三观合的人交谈，才能有如沐春风的感觉。除了听不同的声音，我们还需要被认同、被鼓励、被赞赏。而这些只能是来自那些与我们拥有同样思维体系的人。
就是总而言之，我们既需要听那些与我们想法不同的人观点，还需要感受一些与我们想法相同的人的态度。
道理讲差不多了，看看两个主体段的topic sentence + reasoning可以如何写吧：
Without any doubt, people can ill afford to overlook the fact that consulting with people with varied opinions of ourselves makes us objective and comprehensive. Prior to further explanations of my viewpoint, it is crucial to know how most of us form our perceptions of things. Generally speaking, the formation of our thoughts amounts to the integration of correct conceptions assimilated from grand masters and specific personal observation of the real world. How can we assimilate enough, then? Reading the classics and listening to the wise. Confucius remarked, there is always someone to learn from, especially when this someone is trustworthy.
Reasonable though the previous discussion may sound, this is not the whole picture of the issue, because we still need approval, encouragement as well as praise. Francis Bacon wrote in Of Studies that reading histories makes men wise. Great minds think alike. In ancient China, one emperor of Tang Dynasty once remarked that with copper as a mirror can people dress properly, with history as a mirror can people know the reasons behind the rise and fall of different dynasties, and with other people as a mirror can people better see the merits and flaws in themselves.
