Perhaps nobody can avoid being swayed byvarious mass media. The news media have beenexerting a tremendous influence on our lives becausethey can not only bring about glaring changes tothe lives of ordinary people，but even ruin a politicalleader. Some people worry that the impacts of massmedia are quite negative. From my perspective,however, what the news media can benefit us isgreater than what they might influence us adversely.

The opposite stand is also understandable. It is true that some paparazzi of tabloidmagazines like to publish details about those superstars’ private lives，which might bringuntold agonies to heroes of the story. Likewise, for the purpose of catering to the taste of thegeneral public, some editors of newspapers and magazines also enjoy deliberatelyexaggerating so as to create a sensation. Surely enough, such irresponsible reportagesshould be highly condemned. However, we have no reason to throw out the baby with bathwater.

On no account can we underestimate the positive influences brought about by the newsmedia. First, the mass media can play the role of educator. As for those who lack the habit ofreading news, they are rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and the experience ofthe world. Conversely, reading news frequently can help us have a broader view of life and thustrain our dialectical mode of thinking.

Also, various mews media can be an indispensable source of information for the vastmajority of people. To illustrate, one of the most crucial lessons of a great manyentrepreneurs is to Watch CCTV news everyday to familiarize themselves with the latestgovernmental policies and market information. Eventually, those amusing news stories can addcolor to the dull routine of every day life. I myself enjoy appreciate stories concerning thecommon people or mediocre life so that I could greatly deepen my insight into diverselifestyles and grow spiritually during the process of thinking.

In closing, my stand is that various news media have and will have irreplaceable roles toplay in our daily lives, the influence， to large extent， depends on how we treat and harnessthem. It is rather groundless to simply say that their impacts can always be baneful.

2016年1月30日雅思写作大作文考的是一个和政府有关的话题，政府是否应征收高峰期通行费，详细如下：

In some cities, the government has tried toreduce traffic. For instance, they imposed acongestion tax during rush hour. Do you think thisdevelopment is positive or negative? 在一些城市，政府试图缓解交通压力，例如，征收高峰期通行费，你认为有力还是有弊?(2016年1月30日)

Going through the rush hours is a tiresome business. The prevalence of various publictransport has led to severe traffic congestion，especially during the rush hours. Being stuck inthe long queues of vehicles seems to be a big headache for many city dwellers. Personallyspeaking, it is about time governments adopted effective measures, drivers should be chargedwhen they need to drive out in a heavy traffic, which will exert a really positive impact onreducing the serious traffic conditions.

For a start, paying some permission fees could decrease the incidence of going throughthe busy traffic. To be more specific, some drivers would be unwilling to drive their cars inorder to save money when they have no urgent things. Hence，this will mitigate the pressureof heavy traffic congestion. Further, the decreasing number of cars will also purify the air andreduce the noise. As a result, the living quality of the whole city will be greatly optimized,citizens will enjoy a cleaner environment.

This debate reminds me of my own city. Our city government has fewer policies in terms oftackling the pressure of traffic congestion, which negatively influences people’s normal work.The large amount of release of exhaust gas has deteriorated the environment. Even worse,long time wait will ruin the drivers’ moods. Consequently, some people might fail to happilyperform their working tasks when they arrive at the workplace. By contrast, the fee fromdrivers increases the governmental income so that more financial budget could be allocated toperfecting the traffic conditions. Specifically, the government could build more over-bridges toreduce the pressure of traffic jam.

Granted, I have to concede that this policy might impose much pressure upon thedrivers economically. If they pay even limited amount of money every day, then there will belarge sums of money as a whole. What I want to rebut, however, is that in time of a traffic jam,the oil consumption is much more than that of driving a slowly moving car. The cost ofgasoline may be even expensive than the counterpart people pay for driving permission.

In closing, I re-affirm my conviction that it is worthwhile to ask for driving permissionfees when the traffic is busy.
