下面是一些值得好好琢磨琢磨，然后进行模仿的雅思作文开头。但是有些开头（比较长的两个）是从别的学术类刊物摘抄的，不适合模仿，但是方法值得借鉴。
happy practice！！
Genetic engineering (questioning)

How would you like bananas or pineapples that ripen more slowly, or potatoes that absorb less oil and therefore make lower calorie French fries? Those are just a few of the genetically engineered food products expected to hit American stores in the next few years. While many experts are hailing the rapid development of genetic engineering in food as the way to feed a fast growing global population, others say the changes are planting the seeds for a host of future problems.

Is there such a thing as an 'Eastern' and 'Western' way of organizing business? (source of concern)

Many commentators have over the years attempted to draw a hard distinction between eastern and western ways of organizing and carrying out business . According to this ‘culturalist’ view of history, the success of Japan and later of other East Asian countries such as China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan can be attributed to their common Confucian traditions and their associated cultural characteristics (Dale, 1986; Rozman, 1993) C. Due to space limitations it is not possible to repeat this argument in detail. I would however like to take a look at an alternative schema evolving around the concept of 'societal trust' proposed by Francis Fukuyama (Fukuyama, 1995). I would then like to ask if it is still possible to use the old east/ west distinctions in describing world business organization?

Is ‘free trade’ a natural way of organizing the world's market place?(example)

Events such as "the Protest of the Century" which took place in Seattle, USA in December 1999, have focused the world’s attention on global ‘free’ trade. The protest was against the World Trade Organization (WTO), in particular its role in promoting world-wide free trade. In this essay. I would like to take a critical look  at the concept of free trade. Is it a natural phenomena? Are free market economies common in world history? Or is this a relatively recent concept created by powerful nations and companies and imposed on the less powerful?

Teaching Engineering as a Social Science (contentious statement)
Today’s public engages in a love affair with technology, yet it consistently ignores the engineering at technology’s core. This paradox is reinforced by the relatively few engineers in leadership positions. Corporations, which used to have many engineers on their boards of directors, today are composed mainly of M.B.A.s and lawyers. Few engineers hold public office or even run for office. Engineers seldom break into headlines except when serious accidents are attributed to faulty design. While there are many theories on this lack of visibility, from inadequate public relations to inadequate public schools, we may have overlooked the real problem: Perhaps people aren’t looking at engineers because engineers aren’t looking at people.
