1) Failure is the mother of success.

2) Any man who is afraid of failure will/can never win.

3) Success means that you enjoy/love and are good at doing what you are doing now. 4) One who is eager to win will not necessarily win quickly.

5) A successful person doesn’t ask for things from others. On the contrary/ Instead, he will ask

himself: “ What can I leave to this world?”

6) A real winner is someone who makes the greatest contributions to the society, not the one who

is the richest, or the most famous.

3. Writing

Some people say that winning means being rich, some say winning means being powerful, and other think winning means being happy. I think winning means doing what you should do and being good at it. Most of us can only live in this world for no more than 70 or 80 years. We shouldn’t think too much about what we can get form this world. Instead, we should think about what we can leave in this world. The one who can make more contributions to the world is a real winner. For example, cleaning the street is a humble job in many people’s eyes, but in my opinion, street cleaners can also be great winners. They make our city more beautiful. They give us a better environment and consequently a better life. But, on the contrary, some people make money at the cost of the environment. Some are even worse: they cheat or kill others in order to gain power or earn money. Winners or losers? It’s time to give it a second thought.

A. Wait, …wait. I don’t think it has anything to do with psychology.

B. It does have something to do with psychology. People can’t help buying clothes on sale

because they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy.

Patients who have taken some placebos feel much better because they constantly tell themselves that they will become better, and their strong will makes the wish to get better become reality.

A: Oh, I see. Does psychology also play a role in such cases as talking with friends and listening to fast music?

B. Yes, talking with friends can be relaxing, and listening to fast music can make people

energetic or dynamic. According to psychology, these are god ways of keeping a distance from depression and pressure.

3. Writing Sample 1

Psychology plays an important role in our daily life. Our feeling and attitudes color the way we behave. Confidence is a good example.

In reality, a great number of people complain that they are not able to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. In some cases, this may be true. But in other cases, it means that these people allow themselves to get discouraged.

For example, a confident man can accomplish many things. If you have confidence, you believe you can do things well. You might not always do as well as you hope, but you will try harder the next time. A man who lacks self-confidence might not be able to complete simple tasks. Without confidence you are likely to be nervous, unsure of yourself and confused about what to do and how to do it. You may think you will fail, so as a result you will not try hard enough. As the old saying goes, where is a will, there is a way. In other words, if you have the will or the determination to do something, you will always find a way to do it. Having confidence is an important part of our life. Sample 2

In our daily life, we often have to buy things. Most of us cannot really distinguish good quality form bad quality. Obviously we can see if an apple is rotten, but we cannot always see if something is well made. What thoughts make us buy things?

A women may decide to buy a particular style of dress because several of her friends choose that style. She wants to be like her friends. A man might decide to buy a particular coat because it is expensive. He thinks that since it is expensive it must be of good quality. A student who has a lot of money might decide to buy a jacket because it was designed by a well-known designer. Wearing a jacket with the designer’s name on it makes him feel important.

These are not the logical reasons for buy things, but they explain the motivation behind people’s actions or behavior. It means that psychology or our mental state plays an important role in many aspects of our daily life.

A Nightmare

I grew up in the country and life was hard at that time. I used to share a bed with my younger brother. We would often fight for space.

One night, I had a terrible dream. In the dream, our village was occupied by foreign invaders. The invaders were taking away property and children from households. They set houses on fire and killed anyone who did not obey them. I managed to hide in a pile of hay. I could hear my heart thumping when I saw some foreign soldiers coming toward our house. I couldn’t see them clearly because my eyes were covered with hay. I could hear them coming nearer and talking angrily. But I didn’t understand anything that they said. Just then, I realized that one of my arms was not fully covered. I wanted to hide it but I dared not move. Then one of the soldiers discovered me. I was almost scared to death. But still I didn’t move. Then I felt a severe pain on my left arm/ I was wounded by a soldier with a sword.

I woke up and realized that I had just had a nightmare. But my left arm was hurting. My brother’s leg had been pressing on my arm.

The survey shows that students usually spend little time eating. They eat three meals a day, with rice as their basic food (staple). Students from the North like pasta, for example, noodles, steamed bread, and dumplings. Most students like fresh fish, seafood and eggs. Only a few students say that they are keen on meat of all kinds. Most students eat their meals at the school cafeterias. They don’t cook at home, and some haven’t even tried cooking. Their parents or grandparents do the cooking in their families.

What is unusual is the fact that many students don’t eat vegetables. They think fruit can provide all the necessary nutrients their bodies need. With some students, milk is gradually taking the place of water and other drinks. Besides, in many families, it is now the father who does most of the cooking. The role of the mother seems to have changed a lot.

Dining Customs in China

Every country has its own peculiar dining customs. The Chinese feel that the first rule of being a courteous guest is to be modest. When a person is invited to dinner, he will decline first because he is afraid it will give the host and hostess a lot of trouble preparing for it. As the host keeps on inviting him, he’ll then accept it. Usually the guest will bring some gifts to the host, such as fruit, flowers and wine. The host will immediately protest his doing so by saying, “You shouldn’t have bought the gifts. You are too polite and generous!”

When the guest sits down and starts chatting, the host offers something such as tea, candy, and fruit. The guest always says, “No, no, please don’t bother, I am not thirsty,” or “I’ll help myself to them.”

When the dinner is ready, the guests are invited to sit down first. They sit in the chairs that are facing the south, which are considered to be honored seats. After everybody is seated, the host asks the guests to start eating first because they will not eat before the host says so. The guests often avoid being eager to eat out of politeness. They usually don’t empty the dishes to show that the host has prepared more food than enough out of their hospitality. On the other hand, the host and hostess usually prepare a lot of food to feed their guests.

When the dinner is over, guests will offer to help with the cleaning, but of course, the host and hostess will not let them do so. Instead, they will ask the guests to watch TV, drink tea, and sometimes to join a card game or Mahjong game. After some time, the guests will leave, and it is customary for the host to see the guests off. The host tries to see them off to the farthest feasible point while the guests try to discourage them from doing so. The guests will usually invite the host to their home in order to return the favor.

Sample 2

Dining Customs in China

If you are a guest in China and you’re going to have dinner with the Chinese, you should learn many things about the dining customs in China.

Before the dinner begins, the guests and the host all sit at the table. Usually the hostess is busy preparing dishes and the host will chat with the guests. The dinner will begin when everybody is present.

When the dinner begins, the host says to the guests, “Please help yourselves!” the guests usually say, “Ok! Ok!” The host starts the dinner first and the others follow. The host or hostess will bring food to the bowls of their guests to encourage them to eat as much as they can. The guests will say “No, no, you don’t have to bother” or “I’ll help myself” at the beginning and will let the host or hostess do so later on. At a Chinese table a guest should not eat too quickly to finish eating very soon. The Chinese like to talk with each other during the dinner. If someone eats without speaking to anyone else, he is considered unfriendly or impolite. So the atmosphere at the dinner table is always pleasantly noisy.

At the end of the dinner, if someone wants to leave the table, he should apologize to others for not being able to accompany them to the end and at the same time ask them to eat slowly.

These are a few dinning customs in China.

1) ---I agree with this opinion, because if you plow money back into new investments, you will

contribute more to society and at the same time you are likely to make more money, which will be put to even better use. This will form a really beneficial service to yourself and others as well. It will thus promote the development of our modern society.

---I don't agree with this opinion. We make money in order to spend it, so we can get more joy

from life. We can buy what we want to buy, such as beautiful clothes, delicious foods, books. If we didn’t spend money on the things we like, what’s the point of making money? Life would be all but misery and toil if we only know how to make money.

2) What he said means “work hard and earn as much as one can; do not spend it on unnecessary things, and try to save if there is no need to spend. When there is a great need for money, give all the money one has saved, so that the money can be put to a good use.”

I think what he said is quite right, but it’s difficult to follow him, especially the last point-give all you have. To earn all you can is not easy. People sometimes are lazy, and they don’t want to work too hard. As for me, I don’t want to earn all I can, because it’s too tiring. I think good health is more important than earning money. To save all you can is good, but I am not able to do so. It’s obvious that we often waste something. The last point, “to give all you can”, is the most difficult thing for most people. For selfish people, how can they give all they have earned to others? I think if you can do this, you are the best, the most unselfish person in the world, just like John Wesley. Vocabulary

Writing

1) Money in a Student’s Life Sample 1

In students’ life, there are two main things. One is studying, and the other is daily life.

In our studies, money is very important and necessary. We must pay the tuition fee to go to college. If we want to join in some activities, we have to pay some fees, for example, one yuan for an hour of computer use. We also need money to buy reference books. In daily life we spend money on food, clothes and other necessary articles. Sometimes we also spend money on tapes, films, etc. when we spend money we’ll pause and think: “is it necessary to spend money on it?” At university, we don’t live with our parents, we have to budget our money by ourselves. We need to know in what cases we must spend it and in what cases we mustn’t.

There are some students among us who think that earning a lot of money is more important than studying. That’s a one-sided view. Knowledge is priceless. Money in students’ life is not the primary thing we care about.

Sample 2

Money is important for everybody, so it is for us students. If we don’t have money, we wouldn’t be able to study at the university in the first place.

Almost everything depends on money. For us, we have to buy food, clothes, books, CDs, stamps, etc. We also have to pay for the different courses we are taking besides tuition, because some of the fees are not covered by the tuition. We have to budget our money; otherwise, we’ll have no money left at the end of the month or the semester. Many parents give their children money once for a whole semester, not on a monthly basis, so budgeting is essential. Many students borrow money from their classmates, but are unable to pay it back. Some of the students work part-time in order to relieve the financial burden of their families since their families is not wealthy. But I think this will affect their studies. So it’s better for us to save money so that we can study well.

2) Money and Happiness

Sample 1

Money is very important in our lives. Many people think that when you have money you

can be happy. That means if a person is poor, he can never be happy.

In my opinion, money is important for food, clothing, sheltere and transportation. Without money, we could have done nothing. But htat does not mean that only the rich are happy. Rich people are too busy earning money so they can not enjou life. They are constantly worrying about losing money all the time, so he won’t be happy either.

The rally happy person is one who has enough money so that he can do whatever he wants. He is not crazy for money and is content with life.

亏空

Sample 2

Money is very important. Without money we would have no house to live in, no clothes to wear, no food to feed ourselves. If one has no money, one has to work hard to earn money. All one thinks about is how to make money. That makes a person nervous and tired. Certainly, it doesn't make you feel happy. But if we care too much about money, we’ll become slaves of money. After all, money is not everything. Money can’t buy friendship, respect, knowledge, etc. If a wealthy person is selfish and has no mercy on others he will have no friends and will be lonely and will never be happy about his life. Happiness means not only comfortable living conditions but also mental satisfaction. I think, only those who don’t have to worry about money and can spend money on others easily are really happy people. Thomas Edison was one of them.

In my home, my mother is always the one who does shopping. She buys groceries every other day and puts the meat and vegetables for the following day in the refrigerator. She likes to go to the grocery store around 9 o'clock in the morning when it is not the rush hour. When she goes to the market, she doesn't like to bargain with vendors, she thinks it's a waste of time. According to her,

the money saved is not worth the effort. Time is money!

For major purchases, we usually go together as a family, so that I can have a word as to

which brand to buy. Once we bought a TV set. During the process of decision making, my mother wanted to buy a TV set made by a local factory so that we could have better service if anything went wrong with it. But I insisted on buying a different brand that was of better quality. But the manufacturer was in another city. I tried to convince my parents that with a high quality product, it would save us a lot of trouble and time in maintenance. And if the quality was poor, we wouldn't feel happy to enjoy the good after-sale service. Finally, my parents agreed with me and bought the one I suggested. Vocabulary

Jan. 10,2005,1 purchaseds a Speedo Vacuum Cleaner Model XYZ from The Floor Store, 212 Main Street, Columbus, N. J. 1) (A copy of the receipt is enclosed.) 2) Unfortunately, I have had problems with both the product and the service I have received.

Specifically, I have the following complaints: 3)

First, the vacuum doesn't work efficiently to pick up dust or dirt on either bare floors or carpets. Even after I have gone over the same area several times, the dirt remains. The power shuts off by itself when the vacuum has been running for several minutes, then comes back on after 30 to 60 seconds.

Second, when I went back to at the Floor Store, I was told that because the vacuum was on sale, I could not exchange or return it, which I was not told when I made the purchase. I was also treated

rudely by the salesman, Robert Rule, and then by the manager, Alfred Adams.

I am requesting that you provide me with a new vacuum cleaner, on condition that if this one

proves to be unacceptable, I will receive a refund. 4) I also ask that you investigate the business practices of the First Store, as they are poor representatives of your company.

I can be reached during the day at (806) 827-9318 or after six in the evening at (806) 444-2897.

5) May I hear from you before March?

Yours truly, John Smith

C: I bought it here a week ago. I have hardly used it, but it doesn't work any more. Here is

the receipt. S: What's the problem?

C: There are two things wrong with it. One is that it won't rewind. The other is that the sound

is not clear. It's very noisy.

S: Let me see. No, you are right. It doesn't work very well. But I'm afraid I will have to ask the manager. Could you please leave your name and telephone number so that I can contact you later?

C: Yes, this is my business card. But would you please give me a copy of the receipt I gave you

and write down my two complaints? I would like to have a new tape recorder. I don't want

that one back.

S: I'll get you a copy immediately and I'll write your complaints on it. I'll tell the manager you

want a new tape recorder. C: Thank you.

knowledge of his famous novels and even some details of the characters in his books, I really appreciate his books and would like to have a set of my own. It is well worth buying for me, and it is just like an old friend who can remind me of my happy childhood occasionally. Besides, I'd like to buy some DVDs and some books which I have been dreaming of. I like movies, old and modem as well as those classic novels.

— To me, a mobile phone nowadays has truly become a necessity especially for students away…

WRITING AND TRANSLATION

1) Real bargains are beneficial to customers. Consumers are willing to buy products of (a) high quality at a low price. However, some bargains in some shops are poor in quality. Consumers will be cheated if they buy them. Therefore, one has to be careful in buying bargains. It may take him a lot of time to hunt for real bargains. In addition, what the purchasers should pay attention to is that they shouldn't buy things they don't need though they are bargains. Otherwise, they are just wasting money.

2) Shopping is closely related to media. A lot of the consumers buy products under the influence of advertisements. These ads provide people with all kinds of information about different items. No wonder manufacturers spend a lot of money to advertise their products through various media. Nowadays, Internet, as a new medium, is playing a more and more important role in shopping. It is faster, easier and more convenient. Shopping on the Net is likely here to stay. H Writing i)

on bargains

Sample 1

Bargains are products that are reduced in price. Some bargains are real bargains, because

they

are cheaper in price but the quality is quite good. Some bargains are of very poor quality because

the shopkeeper merely marks prices higher than normal and then marks them down. This is, in fact, a trick to cheat customers. I think this kind of bargain is bad and should be prohibited.

But I like real bargains. It is important to be able to buy goods you want with less money.

But

it takes a lot of time, you have to hunt for bargains. Once I bought a pair of leather shoes at half price.I felt very happy. But sometimes I feel cheated when the shop assistant says that

the original price was 300 yuan, for example, but now it's only 100 yuan and I know he is not telling the truth. Some customers who cannot resist the temptation will buy the product. Later when they find out that they have been cheated, they will be very angry.

In a word, bargains are good if they are real bargains. However one has to be careful in

buying bargains. It's also wise never to buy anything you don't really need just because it's cheap.

There are all kinds of stress in our daily lives such as stress from work, stress from study and stress from examinations. How to manage stress is thus a very important problem that we have to

deal with properly. I think stress itself doesn't exist. It's only because we consider things to be bad and regard all of them as our own fault and won't forgive ourselves.

As we all know, there is nothing you can do without error. So it's impossible to expect everything to be perfect. If we have done our best, although not successfully, there is nothing to

regret. And we don't have to blame ourselves continuously. In fact we have done a quite good job.

Then we will feel the stress less. We will stay healthy and do well in the future. Eventually we will be successful. (141 words) 2) How to Stay Healthy sample 1

Now we are all far away from our families, so a healthy body is crucial for us. But how do we

stay healthy? The following is my opinion.

Firstly, develop good living habits. At the proper time do the proper things, such as eating, sleeping, exercising, and studying. Keep at it, and you'll do more and better things within a limited time.

Secondly, exercise is a traditional way to keep healthy and it is extremely effective. Being students, we have to sit at our desks for most of the day. If we don't spare some time for exercise, fat, as well as some toxic substances, will accumulate in our body, and cause us much trouble. In addition, exercise is a good way for us to release our emotions. There are so many unpleasant things on campus that we have to taste all kinds of bitterness. When you feel depressed, you may go to the playground and run as fast as possible. When you feel tired, you'll find that bitterness is merely a piece of cake. The future is still splendid. 3) Emotions and Health

Everyone wants to be healthy, but what affects health? Health is connected not only with food but also with emotions. There is an old saying: Laughter is the best medicine. Experiments show that when one is angry, there are various kinds of toxic substances produced in the blood. It can do great harm to one's health. Most people who live long are often in a good mood. And they are mostly optimists or realists.

Many doctors and psychologists now realize that good emotions sometimes can be of more help

to one's health than medicine. If a patient always thinks that he is sure to die, how can he try to fight off his disease? \bit exaggerated. But emotions really have something to do with health.
