这次的考试真是出人意料，全国都考了不一样的版本，以前的作文我有准备了几篇，还让国外的朋友帮我改了，后来就认真的准备了95 97 101
但是都没有考到。我想后来考试的人还是好好准备一下以前考过的题目吧。这是我的version99，改过很多次了，大家看看吧，希望有帮助。
Topic: some people say that computers can translate all kinds of languages .therefore ,children do not need to learn foreign languages any more. What’s your opinion?

Computer plays an important role in modern society and development very quickly. Some computer program can translate all kinds of languages. Some people said that children do not need to learn foreign languages any more. This opinion seems to be possible, but I disagree with it for the  following three reasons .

First of all, a language is a means of communication. With the process of economic globalization, it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation among different countries. As different countries use different languages ,people can’t communicate with one another if they don’t know the languages of others. In order to have a good knowledge of the world we must learn foreign languages well.

In addition , language study can give us much more than the language itself. Language is very closely to country’s culture and history. Children can know the culture of a country through language study. For example., if you study English , you can know some customs ,regions and cultures of English speaking countries. You can also know the meaning of some English songs , which are very popular all over the world.

Last but not least, computer programs are designed and written by human beings. People can’t design an efficient translation programs if they do not know the knowledge of foreign languages and translation.

Admittedly ,in some case, computer takes some advantages to us. Some translation computer programs can give us an immediate explanation of some difficult words when we read some foreign articles. It can save us a lot of time.
In conclusion ,from my point of view, it is still necessary to learn foreign languages. For the existing computer technology, computer can’t replace the process of language study.
