    Yes:
    For those who love travelling, touring around the world is their dream. The true travelling is not spending 4 or 5 days visiting some scenic spots, but staying for one or two months or even longer in a place. In this case, one cannot still hold his or her job while going out to travel.
    Travelling can be regarded as a break for many people who struggle to earn a living in cities. Yearning to see the outside world is the nature of all human beings. Taking a break and travelling in exotic countries will not only bring you new knowledge but also shape your ideas and perspectives about how you see yourself and the world.
    No:
    For most ordinary people, working and supporting the family are their basic responsibilities, while other hobbies, like travelling, can only serve as a supplementary part of their life. Quitting the job to travel is an unreasonable and irresponsible act.
    Travelling will cost a large sum of money. Once an individual quits his job and has no salary, it will be difficult for him to continue his life.
    Some people are simply using travelling as an excuse to escape from their work and responsibilities. They have the illusion that leaving their jobs for travelling outside can solve all the problems. However, when they return, they will find that the problems are still there.

答案 Quitting One’s Job to Travel Is Unreasonable With the rapid development of society, people are improving their living standards while suffering from heavy work stress. Thus, some are eager to widen their vision by means of travelling so as to escape from the exhausting tempo of city life. However, others argue that it’s irrational and irresponsible to quit the job in order to travel around the world. As far as I am concerned, people should not travel at the cost of losing their jobs. It is impractical and may finally end up in vain. On the one hand, travelling requires high expenditure. The transport, whether it is by train or by plane, needs a large amount of money. The belongings one carries will cost a lot. Thus one can hardly go anywhere without a stable source of income. On the other hand, using travelling as an excuse to escape from the normal social life is useless. People are social animals—in other words, one can hardly get any support without others’ contribution and cooperation. As a member of society, everyone has to shoulder his social responsibilities. If one chooses to leave everything behind to travel whenever something dissatisfying happens in life or work, it only proves that he lacks the courage to face the reality as well as the ability to master his life. In conclusion, travelling around the world is a wonderful experience, but it does not necessarily mean that we have to give up our jobs to realize this dream. What we need to do is to strike a balance between the ideal and reality, and achieve our goals by taking concrete steps.
解析     本题讨论的是是否应该辞职去旅行。在具体行文方面，考生应该首先概述正反方的观点：正方认为辞职去旅行是正确的选择，反方认为辞职去旅行有很多弊端。然后给出自己的观点：辞职旅行有很多弊端，既不现实，也是一种逃避社会责任的表现。之后并详细阐述理由。最后总结全文。
    开头部分第一段阐述背景并引入话题，总结材料中正反两方的观点。正方观点认为辞职去旅行可以缓解压力，拓宽视野。随后用“However others argue that…”引出反方观点：辞职去旅行是不理智且不负责任的行为。
    中间部分用“As far as I am concerned…”阐述自己的观点：人们不应该以失去工作为代价去旅行。这不现实。接着阐述了两点理由：一方面，旅行花费高，旅途中的交通费用需要很多钱，如果没有稳定的收入来源，就无法支付路途中的开销；另一方面，以旅行为借口逃离现实生活是无用的，每个人都需要肩负起自己的责任。
    结尾部分最后用“In conclusion…”总结全文。发出倡议：我们应该平衡理想与现实，以实际行动实现目标。
