(1) Most people are under the illusion that a college degree guarantees success. There is no such guarantee without hard work。
許多人錯誤地認(rèn)為大學(xué)學(xué)位能保證成功。不努力工作就沒有這樣的保證。
(2) While the inclination to procrastinate is common, one must fully consider the detrimental impact of unnecessary delays。

(4) From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages。
通過以上討論，我們可以得出如下結(jié)論：盡管家長想親自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是這樣做的缺點(diǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于優(yōu)點(diǎn)。
(5) From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that, although extra studies indeed enjoy many obvious advantages, its disadvantages shouldn't be ignored and far outweigh its advantages. It is absurd to force children to take extra studies after school。
通過以上討論，我們可以得出結(jié)論：盡管額外學(xué)習(xí)的確有很多優(yōu)點(diǎn)，但它的缺點(diǎn)不可忽視，且遠(yuǎn)大于它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。因此，放學(xué)后強(qiáng)迫孩子額外學(xué)習(xí)是不明智的。(結(jié)論句式)

A recent survey showed that X percent of respondents ranked getting rich as their top priority , compared to X percent only a few years ago . Why do people fail to realize that wealth does not necessarily bring happiness?
近年來出現(xiàn)了對社會有害的拜金主義傾向。最近的一項調(diào)查表明，X%的調(diào)查對象把致富作為他們的首選，相比之下，就在幾年前，只有X%的人這樣想。為什么人們沒能意識到財富不一定帶來幸福呢?
(9) Most people are of the opinion that wealth provides solutions to all problems. But in spite of the material benefits wealth provides , I believe one should abandon the pursuit of materialism and instead concentrate on the pursuit of happiness。
大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為財富為所有問題提供解決的辦法。但是，我認(rèn)為，盡管財富提供物質(zhì)上的利益，一個人應(yīng)該放棄物質(zhì)至上的追求，而是集中精力追求幸福。
7. 社會宏觀

(5) Some months ago , a friend of mine was killed in a tragic automobile accident involving a drunk driver . The incident was far from rare , and was in fact typical of thousands of cases involving drunk driving
幾個月前，我的一個朋友死于一場與酒后駕車有關(guān)的悲慘車禍。這件事情一點(diǎn)兒也不罕見，事實(shí)上是數(shù)以千計的酒后駕車案例的典型之一。
(6) It is high time we put an end to the deplorable practice of food contamination 。
