作文题目

Some people think inviting large foreign companies to set up factories in developing countries is helpful for local economy, while others think that the foreign companies should not be allowed to build their factories in developing countries, instead, local companies should be encouraged in order to develop local economy.Discuss both views and give you own opinion.

题目翻译

一些人认为邀请大型外国公司在发展中国家建造工厂有利于当地经济的发展，然而有些人却认为不应该允许这些公司这么做。相反的，为了发展当地经济，应该鼓励本土公司的发展。讨论双方观点并给出自己观点。

题目解读:

分析:“讨论双方观点”一定要注意在行文过程中题目中两个观点都要进行分析。针对该题，正文段一段分析外国公司在发展中国家建厂与当地经济的关系;另一段应就外国公司建厂对当地公司的影响进行论述突破口:1发展中国家往往缺少资金和技术，而这恰恰是外商可以提供的2当地的经济究竟是由谁其主导主用:外商投资?本土企业?

观点建议:鼓励外商投资，加强本土企业的竞争力，实现双赢

范文

In modern society, young people prefer to stay apart from their parents and live alone in a metropolis. Further, they have a tendency of postponing their parenthood until late 30 s or even early 40 s.This trend may involve some factors and the most rooted one can be modern urbanized lifestyle which features high level of mobility and instability of economic situation. In addition, young people facing enormous competition and stress at workplace, have to focus on their jobs and therefor have little time for their families. Obviously under such circumstance, committing to a serious relationship or starting a family, which means tremendous responsibility and dedication, is not a preferable choice. Also the extended family is no longer a realistic option and is replaced by the nuclear one. The cost increase of raising a child is another barrier to late parenthood, and this is especially obvious in major cities around the world.This change of lifestyle can have some negative effects on individuals and the society as a whole. Firstly low birthrates can result in an ageing population and a lack of labor force in the future. Medical care service will be in high demand and medical cost will rise significantly.Living alone without long term and stable relationships is widely thought to be associated with personal sense of happiness, which would reduce an individual s general satisfaction with life, but increase the sense of isolation.Traditionally, cultures and values are passed on in family daily life. However, in modern cities, the young generation living away from the older one have little chance to learn any from their parents. Instead, they are being assimilated by globally popular cultures.
