官方题（一）Intelligent Machines
This sample prompt, Intelligent Machines, is representative of the prompts that will be used for the ACT writing test.
The test describes an issue and provides three different perspectives on the issue. You are asked to "evaluate and analyze" the perspectives; to "state and develop" your own perspective; and to "explain the relationship" between your perspective and those given. Your score will not be affected by the perspective you take on the issue.

Sample prompt
Intelligent Machines
Many of the goods and services we depend on daily are now supplied by intelligent, automated machines rather than human beings. Robots build cars and other goods on assembly lines, where once there were human workers. Many of our phone conversations are now conducted not with people but with sophisticated technologies. We can now buy goods at a variety of stores without the help of a human cashier. Automation is generally seen as a sign of progress, but what is lost when we replace humans with machines? Given the accelerating variety and prevalence of intelligent machines, it is worth examining the implications and meaning of their presence in our lives.
Perspective One
Perspective Two
Perspective Three
What we lose with the replacement of people by machines is some part of our own humanity. Even our mundane daily encounters no longer require from us basic courtesy, respect, and tolerance for other people.
Machines are good at low-skills, repetitive jobs, and at high-speed, extremely precise jobs. In both cases they work better than humans. This efficiency leads to a more prosperous and progressive world for everyone.
Intelligent machines challenge our long-standing ideas about what humans are or can be. This is good because it pushes both humans and machines toward new, unimagined possibilities.

官方题（二）Public Health and Individual Freedom
Public Health and Individual Freedom
Most people want to be healthy, and most people want as much freedom as possible to do the things they want. Unfortunately, these two desires sometimes conflict. For example, smoking is prohibited from most public places, which restricts the freedom of some individuals for the sake of the health of others. Likewise, car emissions are regulated in many areas in order to reduce pollution and its health risks to others, which in turn restricts some people’s freedom to drive the vehicles they want. In a society that values both health and freedom, how do we best balance the two? How should we think about conflicts between public health and individual freedom?

Perspective One
Perspective Two
Perspective Three
Our society should strive to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of people. When the freedom of the individual interferes with that principle, freedom must be restricted.

Nothing in society is more valuable than freedom. Perhaps physical health is sometimes improved by restricting freedom, but the cost to the health of our free society is far too great to justify it.

The right to avoid health risks is a freedom, too. When we allow individual behavior to endanger others, we’ve damaged both freedom and health.

官方题（三）9月12日北美题Unjust Laws

Unjust laws are part of our legal systems. They can restrict our freedom and violate our privacy. People often question themselves whether they should obey those laws. Martin Luther King Jr famously called upon people to oppose the laws that were racially discriminatory and morally wrong. But how do we, as private citizens seeking justice, approach these unjust laws? What is the best way to act in order to ensure that the harms of these laws are minimized and that they are eventually repealed – without bringing harm on oneself or those for whom one cares? These are questions worth examining both historically and in our modern society.

Perspective One
Perspective Two
Perspective Three
People have rights to break the laws when the laws are unjust or immoral.
Breaking the law should not be encouraged even if the laws themselves are problematic, because such action would result in chaos.
Even if the laws are bad, people have reason to comply with them and seek other ways for change. To defy the laws openly would only bring danger and harm on themselves.

官方题（四）9月12日亚太题Creativity
Creativity
Explore the role of creativity in the life of individual people (回忆版).
Perspective One
Perspective Two
Perspective Three
Many newly created things today defy tradition and ignore history. The best ideas are often based on proven methods and theories.
People can live without creativity, but in order to thrive in the fast changing world, one needs to be creative.

Creativity has no standard or set definition. It makes more sense for us to focus on other qualities that are productive and accurately defined.

官方题（五）10月24日亚太题Challenge
Physical challenge may make you stronger. However, if you didn’t consider your physical attributes, an arbitrary challenge may bring harm and risk. Sometimes challenge brings improvement. For instance, challenge one’s mind could train one’s thoughts.
Each perspective suggests a particular way of thinking about challenge.
Perspective one：Since life has provided us with enough challenges, over challenge could drive people stressed and unhappy.
Perspective two： Through challenge, one can boost his potential and push his limits.
Perspective three： Whether challenges bring us benefits or harm depends on specific situation so we should have the insight to recognize them.
官方题（六）12月12日亚太题Mastery
Researchers claim that it takes 10,000 hours of study, practice and repetition of a particular skill to truly attain mastery. That's the equivalent of practicing something – a musical instrument, a second language, a sport, etc. – for 8 hours a day, everyday, for about three and a-half years. Given the level commitment required, it is worth considering the value and practicality of mastering a complex skill.
Perspective One
Dedication to goals gives purpose and meaning to life. The persistence and determination put forth allow us to develop into stronger people and is a reward in itself.
Perspective Two
Mastering a complex skill is worth the effort for some, but most people need variety and fun in their lives. It is more important to maintain a well-rounded and relaxing lifestyle.
Perspective Three
Find something you are good at and stick to it. By default, you will eventually achieve mastery without requiring special character traits or effort.
官方题（七）12月12日北美题 Tech free time
Perspectives （回忆版）：
Perspective1: Technology defined us as modern people;
Perspective2: Some tech free time is essential to restore our true selves. Then we have time to explore the real world;
Perspective3: Most people cannot stay away from their digital devices, so they have little time with livelihood and family connection.

官方题（八）12月12日 香港 广告
观点一：广告帮助人们做出最好的选择
观点二：人们应该理性对待广告
观点三：广告会误导人
这套题行文重点是广告的功能和特点——商业广告主要用于介绍产品以达到销售目的。可以结合对观点一盒观点三的分析。需要分类讨论这些广告中的静态图像，动态视频，音乐，对白旁白，文字等对人的视觉和听觉的冲击。同样可以通过这些联系到广告对消费者的引导和误导，如观点三。再分析人们把广告中的产品与自己进行联系的过程，从而产生购买之后的利弊和影响，所以提出与观点二一致的态度。

官方题（九）12月12日 新加坡Being wise and determining
新加坡题目和本月sat写作题目certainty and to be wise惊人的一致，sat也曾考过uncertainty。这道题需要在文章中明确哪些行为是体现wise，哪些行为是determining。两者优劣判断（价值判断）的标准是什么，两者是否有交叉的部分。
自编题Creativity and Imitation
Creativity and Imitation
Creativity is valued by modern society. It is regarded as the driving force for social progress, and all the inventions and technological advances are considered the results of creativity. However, someone holds that nothing is created, and everything is built upon the previous achievements. Both the present and the future are based upon inheritance. So which one do you think of deciding the social progress?
Perspective One
Perspective Two
Perspective Three
Creativity decides the progress of human civilization. In a sense, creativity is equal to technology because almost all developments in technology are the products of creativity, which propels economic prosperity.

Nothing is totally created by human beings. We are heirs of nature and our predecessors, and all our achievements are based on imitation. For example, technological developments in bionics derive from animals or plants. Besides, many creations are just the development of the previous ones. It is imitation we need to facilitate social advance.

Creativity and imitation are inseparable with each other and play an equal role. Every creation is the product of creative transformation or improvement of earlier things. What we need is the ability to find new direction from past and present, take advantage of the heritage, and improve it for a better use for the future. Human civilization relies in both inheritance and innovation.

The question of how society progresses nowadays becomes one that pertains to the determining factor in human social advancement, opinions on which are divided between creativity and imitation. Perspective One and Perspective Two resort to these two factors’ contributions respectively to technology developments and/or creations and consequently significance to social progress, while lose sight of the interaction between the two parts. As Perspective Three contends, it is the combined force of creativity and imitation that pushes forward human society vigorously and incessantly.

Creativity plays an important role in technological innovations, which stays in accordance with Perspective One’s argument that creativity is productive of technology improvements ranging from general revolutions down to subtle ameliorations. Both of the industrial revolutions have massively boosted the economy, in whose durations creations took place in abundance due to unprecedented thriving of human creativity. Were it not for the ground breaking introduction of multi-spindle spinning frame to weaving machines and steam power to engines during the first Industrial Revolution and the inventions employing electricity in the second Industrial Revolution, human society would not have been fundamentally changed. Absent the assistance of advanced technologies and equipment, human beings would still be groping in darkness with mind innocent of greater knowledge and finer manners than what is within the capacity of cavemen.

Imitation constitutes an integral part to technological innovations since human beings have successfully improved their living conditions and ushered in one era of cutting-edge technologies after another through learning from nature and other species living therein. This stands in agreement with Perspective Two that human beings have greatly benefited from inheritance of nature’s fortune and former achievements by our predecessors. By way of applying biological principles to engineering, countless bionic mechanisms and biomimetic products have been designed and manufactured. Sharkskin swimsuits after the outer skin of sharks, Velcro after burdock burrs, bullet trains after kingfishers, turbines after whale fins, dustproof paint after lotus petals, and the list goes further on. Rudimentary knowledge and imitation based thereon of our environment and other creatures provide innovations with a foundation to make consequent adaptations to in order to better accommodate human needs.

On account of the significance of the two factors mentioned above, it should not be overlooked that the cooperation of creativity and imitation as is pointed out in Perspective Three, and their influences on one another has been occupying the center stage of human social development since day one of technological creations when human race had but a smattering of scientific knowledge. We evolved from barbarians during the primitive age to civilized members of modern society by means of observation and imitation of beings in our surroundings, alive or still, and occasional strikes of inspiration. Since time immemorial, humankind has harbored hopes of soaring high above the clouds and commanding the views of gorgeous scenery, and generations of people devoted their life to creating and improving aircrafts. The Wright brothers stood out among people left unnamed in historical accounts, although they were not the first people to pilot an aircraft or to achieve powered flight, they earned their place by revolutionizing aviation controlling system, especially creating “wing-warping” to produce different inclinations of wings in prevention of the plane from rolling over. They are heir to the accomplishments and experiments with different aircrafts of their forefathers enlightened by bird anatomy, yet they managed innovations the world had never seen before. Their success manifested that creativity and imitation are the two pillars of human civilization, without either of which no social progress can be dreamed of.
