　　1、5.In the past, people used to travel abroad to look many differences. Nowadays, places all over the world are more and more similar. What are the causes of the similarity? Do you think the advantages of this problem outweigh the disadvantages?

　　Every city has its architectural character, but the similarities between cities are more obvious these days than in the past. In my opinion, one reason for this is the high price of land.

　　In most large cities, land is scarce and consequently it is very valuable. This has led to the construction of tall buildings which occupy only a small area of land while providing lots of floor space where people can live or work. Buildings of this type are made of concrete and steel and can be built comparatively quickly using prefabricated materials. They do not use local materials, such as stone, timber or brick. In consequence, many cities now look very much the same and you might not know whether you were in Brisbane, Bangkok or Berlin when you are on the street.

　　While I realize that we cannot stand in the way of progress, I believe that cities should try to keep some individuality. For example, in Paris it is prohibited to build very tall buildings in the center of the city, as this would spoil the overall appearance of the skyline.

　　Other cities have chosen to design unique buildings to ensure they look different. The twin towers in Kuala Lumpur or the Opera House in Sydney are examples of this approach, and I agree with this kind of initiative.

　　All in all, although it is regrettable that modern cities look similar, I tend to feel that this is unavoidable. However, it can be argued that, even if the buildings are similar, cities will maintain their own character as a result of cultural diversity, the terrain and the climate, which ultimately determine how people live.

　　2、7.Many young people leave school with a negative attitude. What are the reasons? How can we encourage young people to study?

　　Alarmingly，there is a growing trend that the beginning of career indicates the end of academic study. Currently plenteous people slacken their efforts at self-improvement and hold a negative attitude towards lifelong learning when stepping into society. This essay aims to investigate the reasons why so many people take less interest in updating their knowledge and then present my recommendations.

　　The underlying reasons why some school leavers hold cold attitudes towards study are manifold. Here, some of them will be explored. First, their indifferent attitude towards study can be mainly ascribed to ever-accelerating pace of modern life and heavy workload. Nowadays, numerous employees are too occupied to spend time in updating their knowledge. Further, the core of life has shifted from pursuing academic triumph to enjoying family life. More?precisely, as for those who have got married and started career, they may think that it is better to take good care of family members and focus on work. Last, some relevant enterprises’ less emphasis on lifelong learning is also the root cause of modern people’s laziness in acquiring new knowledge.
