Dear Liu Yue,

I‘m writing to apply for the English announcer of our school broadcasting station.______ I am looking forward to hearing from you. Possible version: Dear Liu Yue, I‘m writing to apply for the English announcer of our school broadcasting station. I‘m Li Hua, a boy of sixteen, presently in my first year of high school. I‘m outgoing and energetic.

I‘m interested in singing because it allows me to relax myself and entertain others. Last year I won the second prize in the English speech competition for senior high school students in our province. Besides, I‘m good at writing, which might be helpful for the work. Taking part in all kinds of outdoor activities is also one of my hobbies.

I would like to work for our school broadcasting station since it would be a great opportunity for me to improve myself in social activities and enrich my life.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, (2008 湖南) 英语写一篇120词左右的短文。要求根据所给信息作适当发挥，且需包括以下三部分内容： 1. 对该人物的简单介绍： 2. 喜欢该人物的理由： 3. 从该人物身上得到的启示。

Sample 1:Thomas Edison

Born in America. Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.

I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions, In his life time, he was always cager to know how things worked, which helped him to cam the nickname ―the Wizard of Melo Park‖, He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.

What impresses me most is his famous saying. ―Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration‖. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking teamer. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born. but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.

Sample 2: Helen Keller

Every time I read ―…..if I had the power of sight for three days‖, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller. an ordinary but great American woman.

I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her, But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sulliven, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder!

Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have, and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life. Sample 3:William Shakespeare

Do you know Hamlet? Have you read The Merchant of Venice? These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!

Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world, I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!

Since ―Life is a stage‖, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone had his own role to play. and I will try my best to play my role well.

___________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Sir or Madam,

话题二：家庭、朋友和周围的人Family, friends, and people around

当今社会，父母和孩子之间普遍存在代沟，请就此话题写一篇短文，包括以下要点： 1. 代沟形成的原因：年龄，观念，沟通缺失…… 2. 解决代沟问题的方法。

注意： 1. 120 词 2. 文章首句已给出，不计入总词数。 Possible version:

Nowadays, generation gap commonly exists between teenagers and their parents. Why is generation gap so common? Firstly, parents and children are living in different ages, so their ideas and viewpoints towards social customs and living styles are quite different. Secondly, some parents are so busy that they do not have much time to stay with their children, so the communication between the two generations is far from enough. Thirdly, some parents are too strict with their children, so the children are not willing to consult their parents when they have problems. As a result, the parents do not understand their children well.

To solve the problem is no difficult. Parents and children should have more communication. If parents care more about their children‘s feelings and thoughts while children respect their parents and understand their parents‘ good intentions, I think, the problem will be much less serious.

假设你是一位90后，你想给报社写一篇文章告诉人们90后的真实的面貌，纠正人们对90后的错误看法。文章必须包括以下内容： 1．90后的缺点； 2．90后的优点； 3．你的看法。

We, post-90‘s generation, are living in a society full of fierce competition, and developing our special manners and values, which has raised people‘s concern.

It‘s true that the post-90‘s generation have some weaknesses. Some of us, for example, rely on our parents too much and tend to live comfortable lives. Some are even selfish and care little for others.

At the same time, the post-90‘s generation desires to learn more about the world around us, and we are independent in thinking. We always keep up with modern science and technology and have many new ideas.

I think the post‘s generation should carry forward our strong points and overcome the weaknesses, and try to tell the world that we are a hopeful generation.

李越是家中的独生女，为此，生活的一切都由父母包办。但是，自高中住校以来，她却因无法适应生活而感到十分苦恼，学习也因此受到影响。请根据这一普遍现象，用英语写一篇100-120个词的短文。 你的文章应包括下列要点： 1. 描述李越的情况

2. 分析这种现象对孩子人生发展的影响（例举两点） 3. 你对父母的合理建议（至少两点）。

注意：文章的标题的开头已给出（不计词数）。

How should parents help children to be independent?

Li Yue is the only child in the family. Her parents take care of almost everything concerned with her in daily life. However, since she entered the boarding school, she has been at a loss, wondering what to do with the new life, which has consequently influenced her study.

Nowadays, there is a growing concern over the phenomenon. Obviously, children like Li Yue are lacking in the ability to overcome difficulties in life and thus unable to face challenges in a society of competition.

Therefore, more efforts should be made by parents to help us be independent. To begin with, parents should provide opportunities for us to deal with our personal affairs. Moreover, they can allow us to participate in school activities. With parent‘s trust, we will gradually learn to be independent. Useful expressions:

你校开展了―环境保护周‖活动，请你为校英语报写一篇相关报道，包括以下要点： 活动目的：提高学生们的环保意识 活动时间：3月6日至3月12日 主办单位：校学生会

参加对象：高中部全体学生

活动内容：打扫操场，给树木花草浇水；收集旧报、旧书、易拉罐，进行分类回收；举办环保讲座。 Possible version:

In order to help students realize the importance of protecting the environment, a number of activities were organized by the Students‘ Union of our school during the week from March 6th to March 12th. All the students in the senior grades took an active part in these activities. The playground was cleared to look tidy and the trees and flowers were watered so that they could grow more healthily. During this week, students were encouraged to collect old newspapers and books as well as used cans, which were then sorted and recycled. Also, some experts on environmental protection were invited to give us lectures, which greatly improved our knowledge of environmental protection.

Only when everyone does his bit can we have a beautiful environment.

What can I do for our environment?

Everyone can do something for our environment. For me, I should try to save electricity in my daily life. For example, if I am the last person leave the classroom in the evening, I will always remember to turn off the lights. In order to protect our forests, I will use paper wisely. I should try to use both sides of paper whenever it is possible. I will not use things like paper cups and disposable chopsticks because they are made of wood. I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and help make our world a better place to live in.

话题四：日常生活Daily routines

How to live with pressure

In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.

In fact, however, stress isn‘t the bad thing as is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.

每年寒暑假的时候，刚上大学的学生与高中时的同学会进行很多聚会。对此现象，很多人表达了不同的观点。支持的人认为这样做能增进友谊，加深关系，融洽关系；而反对的人认为这样是浪费时间，还存在安全问题，说说你的看法。

Nowadays, a phenomenon that more and more students who just entered universities tend to hold classmates gathering parties with their classmates in high school during summer and winter holidays causes heated discussion.

Many people support the phenomenon. They think through such activities students can communicate more deeply and understand each other better. Besides, they will build up a good and harmonious relationship and learn more about society.

However, other people are against it. In their opinion, holding gathering parties is just a waste of time, energy and money. What‘s more, it is also concerned with public safety with so many students getting together at the same time, which worries many people a lot.

As far as I‘m concerned, it‘s normal for students to hold such kind of gathering. But they should remember to make it appropriate and suitable in many ways

Styles of Living

1．有些人愿意和父母居住在一起2．有些人想自己独立居住3．我的看法

Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up. They hold the opinion because, living with parents, they can take better care of their parents and vice versa. Meanwhile, they can turn to

5

their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties. What‘s more, living together with their parents means less life expenses. To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.

Others, however, prefer to live separately. They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like. Bedsides , they don‘t want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.

As to me, I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents. Different generations have different life styles and values. What one generations likes may not be another generation‘s fondness. Living separately, each generation can enjoy different values. In addition, by leading an independent life, I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life. A Campaign Speech

1.你认为自己具备了什么条件(能力、性格、爱好等)可以胜任学生会主席的工作 2.如果当选，你将为本校同学做些什么 Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen:

Thank you for coming to this election campaign today. With the trust and complete support of my team, I am delighted to announce that I am running for chairman of the Student Union.

As a diligent man with pleasant personality, I have been always considered to be a good team member. Meanwhile, as a big fan of sports I fully realize the importance of teamwork and advocate the spirit of being quicker and stronger. I possess strong determination to take firm steps toward achieving the objectives of my team. In addition, my working experience with the Student Union in the past two years will be extremely helpful to my future work here if I get elected.

A sign of a really strong organization is that it can change its leadership without hindering its progress and without damaging its values. If I am elected, I believe I have the capability to lead the Union to advance in the right direction. I will cooperate well with my fellow members of the Union and take innovative measures, including establishing a student-information center, forming a teacher-student-friendship association, to make the Union a true assistance to students' study and life here as well as a bridge of communication between teachers and students.

Thank you very much.

独生子女面临大学生活的挑战

Now more and more sons and daughters from one-child families are attending universities. They distinguish themselves as a new social group. This new generation have obvious advantages since they are brought up in favorable family circumstances. But there also exist some weaknesses in the way they think, behave, in their sentiments and in their characters.

Though most of these college students are intelligent and fond of study, some are comparatively less capable of handling their social and living affairs. When they meet something unexpected, they don‘t know how to solve it. Some, even phone home to ask what to do each time they run into any problem. They feel weak at knowing how to conduct themselves in college for this is the first time for them to live independently.

I think we should not blame all this on them. It is not their own faults to be like this because they’re inevitable products of certain times. We should sincerely help them be aware of their shortcoming and adjust themselves to college life and to the society.

目前，许多学校对学生采取封闭式管理，学生对此看法不一。请根据下表所提供的信息，写一篇短文，谈谈自己的看法。(字数120左右) 有的同学认为 有的同学认为 学校限制我们的自由；学生和社会接触少；学生的学校是学习知识的地方：学生应该安心在学校里学兴趣和爱好不能得到充分的发展。因此…… 习；学生缺乏自觉性，离开了老师，可能会…… 你的看法： 注意：1.不要逐字翻译。2短文开头已给出，不计人总词数。 Nowadays a lot of schools keep their students in school all day long. Students have different opinions about it. Some of the students think they enjoy less freedom and have little chance to get in touch with society. They are not able to fully develop their interests and hobbies. Therefore, they have little interest in their studies.

Some others think school is the best place to get knowledge so they should put their heart into their lessons.

6

Some students lack the ability to control themselves. Once out of school, they may lose control of themselves and do something that will influence/affect their studies.

Personally I think, it is necessary to keep students at school. But at the same time schools should organize various activities so that students can enjoy their school life.(I don‘t agree to keep students at school all day. Schools should offer students more free time to develop their personal interests.

Active classes or passive classes

The passive class usually has a teacher who gives lectures, puts outlines and gives information to the students. Some teachers rarely look up from their notebook in which they carefully written all the lectures. Teachers in passive classes simply give information and answers. They pour facts into the students. The students are usually forced to sit, listen, take notes, and do only what the teacher has required.

The other kid of class, the active kind, usually has a teacher who gets the students motivated to learn for themselves by asking questions and posing problems. Such a teacher might plan the outline of a course, but doesn‘t force the class in only one direction. Students in active classes become more involved in their learning. The cooperative learning stimulates students to read books to search for some answers themselves and the discuss what they have found in class.

I prefer active classes because learning becomes entertaining. Although students may not much care about facts in classes, their attitude toward learning and their excitement in developing answers for themselves don‘t end with the classes.

话题五：学校生活school life)

A survey about the relationship between students and teachers, family members or classmates is being made by a research study group of our school. Generally speaking, we are getting on well with each other. However, there exist some problems. Some students are easy to lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden. What‘s worse, they sometimes quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers, which is very disappointing.

In my opinion, we middle school students should make our efforts to improve the situation. First, we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates. Second, when we are not feeling good/happy, we can chat with our friends or teachers or even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice.

关于学校学习生活的两封信（绍一中原创） Dear lily,

How is everything going?

The night after the parents‘ meeting was a nightmare. I lay huddled up(蜷缩) in bed the whole night，feeling depressed and stressed. I want to live in harmony with my parents and make them proud, but my exam results make them difficult to fulfill.

Now my school life is a mess. In order to live up to my parents‘ expectations, every day I am buried in piles of books, trying to finish the enormous exam papers and homework. I live in the shadow of scores and ranks and I can‘t study efficiently and effectively. In consequence, my confidence is dying away. Tired mentally and physically as I am, the road before me is still unknown.

I even have some problems in getting along with my classmates. Hardly can I spare any time to participate in class activities, so some of them regard me as a monster, which hurt me a lot. Sometimes loneliness makes me hard to breathe. Smile disappears from my face and the pursuit of higher marks is the only reason of my living. Outside the window, the sky is blue but my world is rainy. How awful my school life is! Is your school life the same as mine? Yours,

Susan

Dear Susan,

I‘m sorry to hear your feeling about your school life. If juvenile era is the golden age, the senior high life would be just like a diamond, shining brightly in our long life. As a matter of fact, life is your own choice.

As academic work is only one aspect of our school life, we still have lots of fun at school. We should enjoy every moment at school rather than suffer from it.

To start with, study with my lovely classmates is a great pleasure. It‘s hard for us to avoid the pressure coming

7

from the approaching college entrance examination, so why not learn with a light heart? Every day, I find great delight in discussing with my classmates. Whenever a tough problem is solved, I am on the top of the world. Secondly, there are a wide variety of activities for us students at school. They can not only build up our bodies, but also can broaden our horizons.

Now spring is coming and out come all kinds of flowers. During the break, a walk through my beautiful school is a feast for the eyes and for my mind as well.

Life is a mirror, when you smile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it. If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. So attitude determines everything. I hope you can be out of the shadow quickly, and be more positive, coping with all the challenges with a light heart.

Best whishes!

Yours, Lily

【例证】例1、假设你叫李华，你将作为高三毕业生代表，根据以下要点在毕业晚会上用

英文作一简短的告别演讲： 1、对三年高中生活的怀念； 2、对老师的感谢； 3、对母校的祝福。 My teachers and fellow students,

In a couple of weeks, we’ll say goodbye to our mother school. How time flies! Now It’s really hard for me to put my feelings into words. The past three years has been really a wonderful journey with you guys, full of laughter and tears.

To make the journey safe and fruitful, our great teachers contributed their time, energy, love and the whole heart. Here, we are extremely grateful for all that you, dear teachers, have done for us.

It’ll soon be the time for us to depart, though unwillingly. But it is not the end. It just means that we’re going to begin a new journey.

Finally, on behalf of all the graduates present here, let me extend our sincere wishes for our mother school and respectable teachers. Thank you!

My views on studying abroad

Continuing one‘s education in a foreign country away from home may create hardships and also bring many rewards to one and one‘s family.

Homesickness is the first thing one comes across. A strange land, people and language may create an identity crisis strong enough to break one‘s will and throw one into despair. The only way out would be to seek one‘s friends and relations, and this is often impossible. To cover one‘s expense, one‘s family may have to spend all their savings and even more. And therefore they should do something in return to meet their parents‘ expectation. This weighs heavily on one‘s mind and will be a stimulus for one‘s success.

There are many rewards one expects from one‘s education away from home. First, a broadened way of thinking and an efficient way of working mean much more than a mere diploma and will benefit one throughout life. Second, the exposure to another culture will enable one to view everything from a different angle and distinguish advantages from disadvantages both in one‘s own culture and new culture. Third, all that one learns in a foreign country will help one‘s motherland to develop, and this is the ultimate purpose for one‘s education abroad.

Private Tutoring

1．为孩子聘请家教目前非常普遍2．家教的利与弊3．我的看法

Private tutoring is ―in‖. A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors. Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents, for various reasons，missed the chance of obtaining a good education. When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless. Private tutoring is the only solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil, clearly．

However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages. First it means more expenses for a family, which may be an economic burden for the family and even a mental burden for the student. Also it takes up so much of the pupils‘ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health. The students have less time to study by themselves and develop their own ability through

8

independent study. For the teachers, busy ―shuttling‖ from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties.

Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of the pupils‘ potentials. Only in this way can we generation be healthily brought up. 校园文明与安全问题

School rules and regulations(学校规章制度), obey(遵守), observe(遵守), keep/observe discipline(遵守纪律), behave well(表现良好), be neatly dressed(穿戴整洁), respect one‘s teachers and parents(尊敬师长), be on time(准时), keep the environment clean(保持环境干净), civilized(文明的) ，break the rules(违反规章制度), discipline(纪律), spit(吐痰), throw rubbish everywhere(乱扔垃圾), cheat in the exam(考试作弊), get in line (插队), fight with sb.(与…打架), punish sb. for (因…处罚某人)等。The students are told not to break any of the rules of the school. 学校要求学生不要违反任何规章制度。The students are expected to … 学校期望学生…。It must be made clear that the students should … 必须明确的一点是，学生应该…。 … is of no good to a friendly and harmonious society. …对创建友好和谐的社会是毫无益处的。It is honorable to obey the principles and rules of our school.遵守学校的规章制度是光荣的。It is worthy of praise to ... …是值得表扬的。It is shameful to … …是可耻的。What we should do is that … 我们应该做的事情是…

话题六：兴趣与爱好interests and hobbies

Keep Pets or Not?

When it comes to keeping pets, opinions vary from person to person. Some people claim that it is beneficial in many ways. In the first place, pets, such as cats, dogs and birds, can help get rid of loneliness. In the second place, keeping pets can help mankind understand animals' world and learn to care about others.

Nevertheless, other people don‘t agree with them. Their reasons are as follows. For one thing, pets are likely to result in noises which disturb people's rest. For another, some pets can spread diseases which threaten people's health and their lives. Last but not least, keeping pets means a waste of money and resources. (第一种结尾)

There is probably some truth in both arguments. In my opinion, people should be allowed to keep pets, while at the same time making them harmless. /Taking into account all these factors, we may reasonably arrive at the conclusion that keeping pets should be a restricted hobby since it has both advantages and disadvantages. （第二种结尾）

Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am in favor of the latter point of view. Anyway, we can reduce our loneliness and express our love towards animal in other ways. Only by placing men and other creatures on an equal basis, can we expect to have a colorful and lively world.

I think everybody has his interests and hobbies, but different people have different interests and hobbies. Good interests and hobbies not only reflect people's capabilities and ideals, but also have important influence on our everyday life and study.

Interests and hobbies are our good friends. They are very useful to one person to grasp his knowledge and skill. They can also lead to great inventions and discoveries. Thomas Alva Edison, the great American inventor was so much interested in science that he invented a large series of inventions in his whole life.

I am very interested in English. When I was about seven, I asked my mother what the word \meant. But my mother said that when I became a middle school student and learnt a lot about the English language, I would understand it easily. From that time on, I set my mind to study English well and become a translator when I grew up. English is my most love. I love the English language. And I love to study English and I love my English teacher because he gave me the flame to the English world.

My hobby is reading. I like reading all kinds of books, both in English and in Chinese. We have history books recording past events, geography books dealing with the earth, math books centering on space and number, language books studying the means of ability. In a word, we have various books about different things in the world. And I am just like a bookworm on all of them.

People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world but I must say that reading books is more valuable than anything else because books can give us knowledge and knowledge gives us power. The

9

Chinese saying \So from reading good books we can gain companionship, experience and instruction.

Good books are our faithful friends. They increase our satisfaction when we are happy and reduce our pain when we are sad or lonely.

Good books are our teachers. They tell us different kinds of knowledge and teach us the truth, science, literature and philosophy of the life. They are both instructive and inspiring.

Good books are also our shield. They tell us what is good and what is evil. And only good books can protect us from the evil and guide us to the good and greatness. So we must read good books and keep off bad ones.

I have to learn as long as my life is continued. My life is limited while the knowledge is boundless. So I must make the best use of my time to read more good books and to acquire more knowledge and learn English, the foreign language well.

My most love is English. My ideal is to become a translator. I am still young. I know that reading will bring me success. My ideal will come true and I am sure I will be able to accomplish my ideal.

We all have our hobbies and interests respectively although we work as bees. You know how colorful the life is. When we pay attention to our study all day, having lessons and learning by ourselves, we may feel very tired. At that time, we should relax ourselves. People have different ways to get relaxed. For example, when I am free, I always draw some pictures, like birds, flowers and objects. Drawing makes me happy. I think that pictures can make my eyes open. I can find many things in them. I'm a sports fan, too. And I can do well in them. Sometimes I play badminton. Sometimes I play table tennis. And football is my favorite, although I am a girl. I don't care really that anybody says anything. And nothing can stop me from doing what I want to do. People say \always begins with much difficulty\but I don't agree to it. I think you can do everything if only you want to. When I hear something interesting about, I am always on the go.

Interests and hobbies make us think our life is colorful and interesting. But we should connect our interests and hobbies with the social reality. Thomas Alva Edison was a great American inventor. He had 1,093 inventions all his life. Most of them have changed the world greatly. He always had so many new ideas. He would keep trying out different ideas until he invented what he wanted and he never gave up. It is interests that made Edison successful. I am as clever and diligent as Thomas Edison was. Interests and hobbies are gold. They are also a rainbow in my heart. I'm sure my gold interests and hobbies will make me happy and let me go on.

1． 有关“sharing”的一个事例：时间，人物，过程，影响等； 2． 你的感悟。

注意：词数120字左右，演讲稿的开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Good morning, everybody! It‘s a great honor to be here and share something with you. I still remember how depressed I was after the midterm examination in Senior One, when I had hoped to be still among the best as in junior high school. At that time, my best friend came up and asked me to go to the playground. ―You‘re always the best in my heart,‖ she comforted me. ―There is always a road ahead.‖ Strangely, my heart was filled with warmth I had never sensed before. I felt much better.

Sharing is part of beauty. Just as a Swedish proverb goes, ―Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.‖ Sharing can broaden our horizons. As for me, by doing this, I can live a happier and more confident life.

Thanks for your attention!

话题八：人际关系Interpersonal relationship

在我们的学习过程中，有些人赞成合作学习，有些人赞成独立学习。请参考所给要点，选择一种学习方法，并谈谈你的看法。

合作学习：

1. 能学到他人的经验和方法

2. 能提高学习信心和效率，增加学习乐趣 3. 。。。。。。。。。 独立学习

1. 自己思考之后解决问题更有成就感。 2. 独立思考是日后独立生活的必须能力。 3. 。。。。。。。

合作学习

Personally I like studying in groups.

When studying in groups we can learn from each other, share our experiences in solving difficult problems and learn more in less time. In the past I seldom had the confidence to discuss study topics with my classmates. I also had little enthusiasm for studying as I found it very boring. But following my teachers' advice I joined a study group and to my surprise my performance in class was improved greatly. Studying became more enjoyable and something I looked forward to doing, as I was able to learn from as well as help others.

So for me, studying in groups is by far the most effective way to learn. 独立学习

Personally, I prefer to study alone. I find studying alone more challenging and exciting.

Each time I come up with an idea after long time thinking, I feel a great sense of achievement. Studying alone also allows me to develop independent thinking which is a very important skill I need as I grow older and must solve the problems myself without the help of parents and teachers. Our teachers often encourage us to study in groups. I enjoy my friends' company, but in-group study, I find we spend far less time studying and more time playing games and having fun.

It is for these reasons that I believe the most effective way to learn new knowledge is by studying alone.

实现有效的沟通，建立良好的人际关系，不仅要善于言表，更要学会倾听。请你根据下表中所提供的信息，写一篇题为 ―Being a Good Listener‖ 的英文演讲稿。 为何倾听 表示尊重，增进理解，建立良好的人际关系 家长倾听孩子 理解孩子，消除代沟，…… 谁来倾听 老师倾听学生 了解学生，满足需求，…… 同学相互倾听 增进友谊，互帮互学，…… 怎样倾听 （请考生联系自己拟定内容，列举两至三点。） 注意：

1.对所给要点，逐一陈述，适当发挥，不要简单翻译。 2.词数150左右。开头和结尾已经写好，不计入总词数。 3.演讲稿中不得提及考生所在学校及本人姓名。 Good afternoon, everyone.

The topic of my speech today is ―Being a Good Listener‖.

Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship. Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.

What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don‘t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.

Thank you for your listening!

话题九：计划与愿望 Plans and intentions

假定你是李华，你的笔友Josh给你写了一封电子邮件，询问你即将到来的暑假的计划。请根据提示，给Josh回一封电子邮件。 内容要点：1. 你的近况；

2．暑假的打算及理由； 3．邀请Josh来中国参观。

注意：1. 回信应包括以上所有提示的信息，做到行文连贯，不要逐字翻译。 2．词数120字。 Dear Josh,

Now, I‘m busy studying for the College Entrance Examination in June and I‘m confident of being admitted by an ideal university.

As this summer holiday is long, I have some plans. College life must be plentiful but reading is the most important thing. So I‘d like to read. Reading can help me get a good habit when I become a freshman. Once I get into the college, I must do the things for myself, including washing and clearing the room. So I‘ll help my parents do some housework during the holiday. However, reading and housework don‘t mean all of my holiday. I need contact with my friends and communicate with them. As we all know, true friendship is worth more than money.

I hope that you‘ll come to China for a visit.

假定你是李华，你的朋友Peter在QQ给你留言，他想在你们学校附近办一个“After-school Class”的英语提高班，并就此征求你的意见。请根据以下提示给他写一封回信。 1．建议（办口语班）； 2．理由；

3．考虑事项（时间，对象，费用等）。

注意：1. 信的开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．词数120字左右。 Dear Peter,

It‘s a good idea to run an ―After-school Class‖ for students to study English together. In my opinion, you‘d better focus on the learners‘ ability of speaking English. Most of Chinese students‘ ability of speaking English is quite low. You know, more and more students choose to study abroad after they graduate from middle school, and it‘s just because they want to study English in a real English culture. So it‘s nice for them to be with a native speaker. As for the students‘ level, I think Senior 3 students can be more interested, because they have a strong desire to learn more about the culture of other countries, making good preparations for work. And there are some other things you need to consider, such as the tuition, the length of the course and so on.

I hope it will be helpful to you.

Yours, Li Hua

10. 节假日活动（Festivals, holidays and celebrations） Summer Holiday Part-time Job

During the summer holiday of 2009, I thought I should do something meaningful instead of staying at home and watching TV. So I got a job at a KFC fast food restaurant and worked there as a cleaner. Every day I went to work early in the morning and got home late in the evening. I worked 7 hours a day for three weeks.

The job was hard, boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I almost quit half way. After all, I stuck to it with my determination. Finally, I finished the job before the new school term began. Now, I understand what labor means. I think it was really a successful experience. 一年一度的寒假即将来临，《中学生英语》杂志准备出版专刊“快乐寒假”。因此，请你写一篇英文稿件。你的叙述须包含下列要点：1、往年寒假难忘的一件事（过程及感想）；2、今年寒假的打算（至少3点，娱乐、学习等）；3、你的愿望。

The winter holiday we are looking forward to is drawing near. The past holidays brought me many wonderful

12

memories. The most unforgettable experience is the party held two days before the Spring Festival last year to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary of my grandparents. Before the party, I made a careful plan for it with my parents. All our relatives got together for this special occasion when my cousins and I gave my grandparents some nice handmade presents. My grandparents were so happy that they sang and danced like young couple.

As a Senior 3 student, the coming winter holiday is sure a busy one. I‘ll make good use of it to work hard at my lessons, getting ready for the college entrance examinations. I‘ll also try to spare some time to do some exercise to keep fit. In addition, I can watch my favorite TV programs with my parents, especially on the eve of Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, I‘ll visit my grandparents and help them prepare good for the family get-together.

I hope I‘ll have a joyful and fruitful holiday.

今年寒假省教育厅的“禁补令”让学生们度过了一个愉快的假期。请以此为主题，给你在美国的笔友David写一封邮件。主要内容如下：

1、 简述寒假中你所经历的一件事或参加的一个活动； 2、 结合此事或活动谈谈你对这个没有补课的假期的感受。 Dear David,

I have something to share with you. I had a wonderful winter holiday. At the end of this term, new came that we didn‘t have to go to school this holiday. We were all excited because we could do what we like.

I went to Beijing with my parents and visited many places of interest. The winter of Beijing was beautiful. We visited the Great Wall, the Water Cube and so on.

In a word, I had a wonderful time. I think the holiday is meaningful for me. I learned what I could not get from books. And the most valuable thing is that I have learned how to make use of my time in a proper way. I also know the importance of teaching myself. I taught myself English. As you know, my English is not so good.

假设你刚刚参加了一次―伦敦游学‖活动, 请根据以下五幅图的先后顺序, 写一篇英文汇报, 在班内介绍你们游学的过程。

Good morning, everyone. It was an honor to have been selected to go on a study tour to Britain. On the morning of March 27, we arrived at Heathrow Airport where we were warmly welcomed by our home-stay families. Soon we went to different families where we had traditional English food and chatted happily. Later we went to Westminster College to attend a presentation about the school. A professor gave us a vivid and interesting introduction and we learned a lot about that college. In the following days, we visited some famous scenic spots such as Big Ben and London Eye. We took many photos there. On the last day we had a farewell party at which students from China and Britain gave fantastic performances including songs and dances.

From the study tour, we have improved our speaking skills, and also we‘ve got a better understanding of British culture.

With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need.

Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience. People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the products they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouses. The products they order will be delivered to them rapidly.

However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that consumers can't see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain.

购买衣服的经历与建议

以约120个词谈谈你购买衣服的经历，内容包括： (1)你对作者关于购买衣服建议的看法； (2) 你的一次购买衣服的经历； (3)你对购买衣服的建议。

How to buy clothes at a discounted price or cheapest price, I advise the best time to buy the satisfactory goods to save money.

As a teenager， I haven‘t got any income to pay for the high cost of the fashionable clothes in season. Personally what I should do is to spend money I get from my parents effectively.

During the winter vocation I went shopping with a good friend of mine. I‘d like to buy a pair of jeans. After I went through some trousers shops， fortunately, I found a desirable and fashionable kind of jeans. I tried them on and they fitted me very well. However, to my disappointment, the price was much too high, and they cost 300 yuan. At that time, I knew I couldn‘t afford it, but I believed I would come again during the Spring Festival when some clothes are sold at the discounted price. Finally I got it for 150 yuan.

In my opinion, when we buy clothes, we should wait until a holiday comes when many goods were sold at a discounted price.

As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it‘s very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.

To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we‘d better have meals regularly.

In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better. 提醒朋友注意卫生，预防甲流

From the TV I know many A/H1N1 flu cases are reported recently in the United States and many schools are closed as a result. I‘m so worried about you. Are you all right? Are there any HINI flu cases in your school? To stay away from the disease, you‘d better stay at home as much as possible and not go to places where there are many people. Besides, you should wash your hands more often so as to keep them clean. Also， keeping the windows open to have more fresh air in the room is helpful. And above all, it does a lot of good to you if you eat more fruit and vegetable, for doing this can help keep you fit and strong.

The disease is not so deadly as it seems to be， so do be at ease! Take care and you‘ll be OK.

Yours truly， Li Hua

面对挫折(setback）时如何保持心理健康

以约120词就―面对挫折(setback）时如何保持心理健康？‖发表看法，内容包括： (1)请举例描述你遭遇过的挫折； (2)你是怎样看待挫折的？

(3)请就面对挫折如何保持心理健康提出一些建议。

I came across many setbacks in my study and life. For example, I failed in my math final exam when I was in Senior One. Knowing the result, I cried hard. I analyzed the situation and studied harder. With all my efforts and the help of others, I finally became good at math and passed many exams.

In my opinion, setbacks are harsh teachers, but the lessons we learn from them can be invaluable. When setbacks happen， we should be brave and stay optimistic. It is a good way to relieve the pain to turn to our trusted ones for comfort, see a funny movie, listen to music, or visit a beautiful place. After we cool down, maybe we can gain something out of this painful experience.

话题13 健康Health

Write a passage about 100 words with the title ―How to keep healthy‖

Good health is the most valuable possession one can have. We cannot take health for granted, because once we lose it, it is difficult to regain. In my opinion, in order to stay in good shape, we should eat proper foods, get enough sleep and take exercise regularly.

Eating the right foods is very important. We should eat plenty of foods that are high in protein and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals.

Enough sleep is of vital value to one‘s health. Only when you have got enough sleep, your body will be energetic to face challenges every day.

Regular exercise is also helpful for one to keep fit. It can prevent you from gaining weight. It can also expand your life span if you can take exercise regularly.

The Way to Stay Healthy

Health is most important for any of us. ]n order to stay healthy, we need some common knowledge.

First]y, pay attention to the diet. We should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, because they are rich in fiber and low in fat. As a proverb says, \So fruit is good for health. Don＇t have a lot of food that contains too much fat, such as butter. Meanwhile, sweets should be eaten in proper quantity, because too much sugar does harm to us. Don＇t drink too much coffee, either.

15

Secondly, exercise is necessary. Regular exercise can help us keep from getting fat. People who do running every day usually have stronger hearts than who don＇t.

Finally, form good living habits. We should sleep for about 8 hours at night, and never work too hard. Over work and little sleep will lead to illness. What＇s more, stay away from cigarettes. These are the things we should pay attention to so as to stay healthy.

建议：健康是有很多元素决定，仔细甄选，合理表达，巧妙的构思都非常重要。当然机智的运用一些“关于健康的英语谚语 ”可以使文章更有说服力，增色不少。常见的有：

1.Eat to live, but do not live to eat.

吃饭是为了活着，但活着不是为了吃饭。

2.Every man is the architect of his own fortune. 每个人都是自身幸福的建筑师。

3.An apple a day, keep the doctor away. ----- 英语谚语 一天一个苹果，疾病远离我。 4.The first wealth is health. 健康是人生的第一财富。

5.Walking is man's best medicine. 行走是人的最佳良药。

6.Happiness lies first of all in health. 幸福首先在于健康。

7.Cheerfulness is health; its opposite, melancholy, is disease. 欢乐就是健康, 忧郁就是病痛。

8.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 只工作, 不玩耍, 聪明小伙也变儍。 9.Diet cures more than doctors. 自己饮食有节, 胜过上门求医。

2010年高考英语热点作文预测：哥本哈根联合国气候会议 优秀作文

Task： As world leaders are in Copenhagen （哥本哈根） this month， talks about climate change are gathering steam. But is climate change the most pressing threat（威胁） for mankind？ Write an essay to show your opinions on the most immediate threat for mankind. Directions：

1. About 200 words

2. Support your position with reasoning and examples. 3. Give the essay a proper title by yourself

To make friends with nature

Due to the rapid development of technology and civilization， the relationship between mankind and nature is getting worse and worse. In my opinion， the climate change is the most pressing threat for mankind nowadays. For one thing， it is more frequently that we suffer from the climate disasters such as sand storms， which make it difficult for us to go outside and pollute the air as well. It can be easily proved that climate disasters have caused a terrible influence in our daily life， which is shown obviously in our capital——Beijing. For another， no one can deny that our earth is getting warmer and warmer， which leads to the level of seas rising. That?s to say， we human beings may be swallowed by the sea someday. How terrifying that is！ It means we mankind will bury ourselves because we fail to take into account of the importance of protecting nature today！

In view of the seriousness of the situation， some measures must be adopted at once. First of all， the government is supposed to take effective policies to prevent citizens making things worse. Some laws can be announced as well if necessary. Secondly， it is essential for us to attach the importance of building up a better

16

and more harmonious relationship with nature. Only when we are aware of what the most pressing threat is and the importance of saving the earth can we learn to make friends with nature.

The Importance of Physical Exercises(体育锻炼的重要性)

汉语提示：据报道，我国年轻人，特别是大学生的健康状况不容乐观。请写一篇150字左右的文章，说明体育锻炼的重要性。

[写作导航]先从所给提示―我国年轻人，特别是大学生的健康状况不容乐观‖入手，引入主题：造成这一结果的原因是忽视体育锻炼；第；段详细列举体育锻炼的重要性，如加速血液循环、增进新陈代谢、消耗多余脂肪、促进睡眠等；最后一段总结体育锻炼的好处，呼吁人们积极参加锻炼。 [范文]

It is reported that the health of young people in China, college students in particular, is not as good as is supposed to be. There are many reasons for this fact, but the main reason is that many people ignore the importance of physical exercises.

Why, then, are physical exercises so important to our health? First, physical exercises can improve blood circulation, speeding up the supply of nutrients and oxygen to every part of the body and the removal of waste from the blood through sweating and exhalation. Secondly, physical exercises can promote a healthy metabolism. It helps with the digestion and absorption of food, thus giving everyone a good appetite. Thirdly, physical exercise can help consume excessive fat in the body, preventing people from putting on too much weight, thus keeping them in good shape. Finally, after physical exercises we usually need a good rest and a sound sleep at night, refreshing us for the

17

next day‘s work.

In conclusion, physical exercises not on[y keep us fit and strong, but also help us to be successful in our lives. It is, therefore, strongly suggested that young people spare some time to take an active part in various kinds of physical exercises.

Physical fitness and health

Physical fitness is today's hot topic. And everywhere we can hear something new about physical fitness. But is it all true? Firstly, the more you sweat, the more fat you burn. This myth has encouraged people to work out in extreme heat or wear many clothes in the hope of sweating fat off. Unfortunately, it's water they're losing, not fat. Secondly, exercise increases appetite. This is true for intense exercise that lasts for 60 minutes or longer. However, moderate exercise that is less than 60 minutes will probably reduce your appetite for one to two hours. Thirdly, no pains, no gains. Many people tend to overdo their exercise programs which however may prove to be harmful to you. Your best method is to start any exercise program slowly and gradually increase the load of exercise.

There are no shortcuts to getting fit. As for me, the following ways can be adopted to go on physical fitness. First of all, don't expect immediate results. Don't push it beyond its limits according to your body. What is more, choose an exercise you enjoy so you'll stick with it. The drop of rain makes a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by of falling. In addition, spend three to five minutes warming up your muscles and cardiovascular system before doing any exercise, and discontinue strenuous exercise during illness. The first wealth in life is health. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man.

体育明星与高收入

Nowadays, there is a common phenomenon that some famous athletes earn millions of dollars by AD every year. What they get may be as 100 times or even higher as that average people earn. Some people claim some famous athletes do not deserve high salaries because athletes are the same as the other jobs and they do whatever they should, in addition, they sometimes show bad examples in front of the public. For me, I agree that famous athletes deserve high salaries because this is the consequence of the market mechanisms of demand and supply at work.

The famous athletes are paid only when they serve an economic value. While successful athletes are paid millions of dollars every year, there are many more who are unsuccessful and forgotten. Famous athletes could also make significant contribution to the society as role models. In many cases, the success of the famous athletes comes about through many years of hard work and real talent. Not only the diligence but also the genius are required to be successful athletes, hence, it is not a convenient way to succeed. Michael Jordan is a vivid example of success after prolonged perseverance and dedication. In the event of their success, these athletes may suffer permanent injuries.

Therefore, I think the sports athletes deserve their high salaries. Some might feel that they do not deserve such high salaries just because they got lucky. Nevertheless, luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.

娱乐之道Recreation

(娱乐之道)

1．娱乐的重要性； 2．怎样科学娱乐。

[写作导航]首先把娱乐和健康联系起来，尤其是大脑，要保持活力就要休息，可引用格言支持；第二段可写娱乐的方式有很多，但科学的娱乐讲究动静结合；第三段举例说明第二段的论点，可举骑车、踢足球、打网球、钓鱼、快步走、下棋等。

[范文]It is impossible to keep in good health unless we have sufficient recreation. The mind, too, needs rest to keep alert and vigorous. There is a lot of truth in the old saying, \work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.\

18

There are many games which we can play after our work is done. But it＇s always advisable for people to remember that persons who sit much should take up sports or a kind of recreation that requires muscular exercise. Those who spend most of their time in the open air and have constant muscular labor, however, should adopt reading or some other quiet forms of recreation that will give them some physical rest.

Cycling is said to be a capital means of recreation. But some people foolishly exhaust themselves by excessive exertion on the bike. The same may be said in regard to football. Tennis is a great form of recreation. Fishing requires much patience, but there is the risk of catching cold by prolonged exposure. A good brisk walk is one of the finest forms of exercise. For persons engaged in outdoor labor, chess playing is an excellent change.

无车日Car-free Day； 开展launch

One possible version：

Car-free Day was launched in our city and 107 other cities on September 22，to encourage people to take public transport， ride bicycles or walk instead of driving private cars.

The campaign has gained much support all over the country and has raised awareness among all people of energy saving and environmental protection. It's a real success.

With the development of the economy， more and more families have bought private cars， thus leading to much heavier traffic problems and more serious air pollution. Therefore， I think it's necessary to launch such campaigns. And I hope more and more cities and their residents will take part in this type of activity.

某英文报纸就“中国城市普遍存在的交通拥堵问题”邀请中学展开讨论。请你参考所给要点，写一篇英语短文。 要点：

1．简要描述这一交通问题； 2．分析造成该问题的主要原因； 3．提出相应的建议。

In spite of the fast development of transportation in the major cities of China, more and more traffic problems are arising. A serious one is heavy traffic. More often than not, we see cars in front of us parked on both sides of

19

the street, driving down the street, or stuck in traffic with drivers waiting impatiently. So what on earth causes this problem?

In the first place, vast population contributes to heavy traffic and growing numbers of private cars add to the pressure on the severe traffic conditions. What‘s worse, some people are unaware of the importance of obeying traffic regulations, so it‘s not uncommon to see accidents blocking traffic.

Personally, I think that rather than promote private cars, it‘s better to improve the public transportation system with scientific road design and proper management. More importantly, never can traffic jams be eased without self-disciplined citizens. 写作：（25分）

随着生活水平的提高，很多家庭购买了小轿车作为代步工具，由此引起了一些社会问题，尤其是交通堵塞问题，许多大城市纷纷提出治堵方案，考虑控制私家车数量，市民们对此意见不一，你就此事进行了调查，请你根据所给材料用英语向二十一世纪报写一封信说说你调查的情况，并说明你的看法和建议。 优势：

1． 促进汽车工业、促进经济发展 2.方便、快捷、省时 不足：

1． 交通拥堵 2.环境污染 注意：

1。 短文包括所有要点，可适当发挥； 2。 开头和结尾已为你写好，但不计入总词数； 3． 词数：150词左右 Dear editor,

With the improvement of the life standard, many families buy private cars in recent years, thus causing some social problems. Many big cities are considering whether to control the number of cars. I have made an investigation on this issue.

Some people hold the view that the increase of private cars will promote the cars industry, which causes the development of the country‘s economy. What‘s more, cars bring convenience to people and save them a lot of time. However, it really causes many problems. For one thing , the roads are so crowded that traffic jams can be seen everywhere. For another, too many cars contribute to the more and more serious air pollution.

In my opinion, we should take measures to solve the problem. Laws should be passed to regulate the traffic. And we can also call on the pubic to ride bicycles.

Best wishes.

Yours, Li Ping

17.语言学习Language learning

Studying the English Language in an English-Speaking Country is the Best but Not the Only Way to Learn the Language. Do you agree or disagree with This Statement?

Learning English in an English-speaking country has many advantages. It is, therefore, a good idea to learn English in Britain or America. However, I believe it is not the only way to learn the language.

To begin with, most students in non-English-speaking countries learn English in high schools or universities. Although their spoken English is not usually of a very high standard, their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced. This is certainly useful when later they come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language. However, it is obviously advantageous to learn English in English-speaking countries where, every day, students will have ample chance to practise listening and speaking. In addition, students can experience the foreign culture, which greatly helps understand the language. This is especially true if they choose to live with an English or American family. Still, since students are taught by native speakers, their reading and writing skills will improve as well.

As every coin has two sides, learning English at home also proves effective. At home students will have less stress and fewer problems in accommodation, expensive tuition and living costs.

In conclusion, it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country, but a reasonable level of

20

English can be achieved at home, if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.

Recently we had a discussion on how to make learning English relaxing and fun. Most students believe that there are many ways to do so. First of all, we can have more interactive activities in class, such as discussions, interviews, story-telling and role-play. In this way, we can have more fun learning English. Secondly, we can take part in more out-of-class activities like English speech contests and English evenings. Through these activities we can improve our English skills in an easy and relaxing way. Thirdly, we need to find more opportunities to communicate in English with people, whether they are English teachers or classmates, foreigners or Chinese because using English is the best way to learn.

These ideas sound reasonable and practical. From my experience, there are many other interesting and relaxing ways. For example, we can listen to English songs and watch English movies. We can also watch English programs on TV or join English clubs or make English pen-friends on the Internet. All in all, what we need is more free time and more space 18.自然Nature

Can People Live in Harmony with Nature?

Man and nature are interactive (相互作用的) forces.

Looking back along the river of history, we may find that harmony used to exist between people and nature. At that time nature was pure field to be ploughed, sown and harvested. Man respected nature and was one part of nature.

It seems that people today are masters of nature. Nature is torn into pieces. While we are disrupting the order of the natural world, we are the ultimate victims, for nature is seeking its revenge. Disappearing forests, drying rivers, polluted soil and worsening climate have punished greedy human beings. We have taken too much from nature, and given back too little.

Looking forward to the future, when we remember the deep interdependent relationship between people and nature, when citizens of the world work persistently to protect nature, then nature will be our friend instead of our slave or servant. Sure, people can live in harmony with nature, with commitment, hard work and new technology.

范文(七)

Writing (图画提纲式议论文) 1. Describe the picture

2. Deduce the purpose of the drawer of the picture 3. Suggest your counter – measures 范文：

The cartoon presents the Earth with a personified human face that seems quite unhappy. A examination of the picture immediately reveals that the source of its mood is the air pollution resulting from a huge number of automobiles spread around its surface.

The cartoon, no doubt, aims at alarming humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable production and usage of automobiles. However, the majority of people merely indulge in the celebration of the convenience brought by cars, while forgetting or simply neglecting their harmful impact on the atmosphere. Admittedly, there are various factors contributing to the current worldwide air pollution, but it is undeniable that the exhaust from automobiles is categorized as one of the major elements.

I would like to make the following proposals to solve this problem: firstly, we should apply the most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as substitutes for fossil fuels. It should also be guaranteed that the clean energy be inexpensive so that it can be widely accepted. Besides, there should be attempts to develop possible transportation means, so that citizens can be diverted from dependence on cars. In short, it is humans' responsibility to resume clean air for Earth.

Last term our group made a study of the pollution in a river in my hometown. The river used to be very clean, but now it is dirty and the water gives off a terrible smell. Our research shows that the river is mainly polluted by the waste water from the factories. Waste water from people‘s daily life and agricultural chemicals also lead to the pollution of the river. To deal with the pollution, we call for people to be aware of how serious the situation is and do something about it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning. I‘m Li Hua from Fujian, China. It‘s my great honor to be here to say something about the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it. As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to global warming, environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population. Therefore, it‘s high time we did something about it.

Firstly, an effective way, I think, is to reserve water in a scientific way for future use. Secondly, new methods need to be developed to use the existing waster resources, for example, turning sea water into fresh water. Thirdly, we must stoop water pollution by law. Last but not least, it‘s everyone‘s responsibility to make good use of water, such as recycling and saving water in our daily life.

In conclusion, people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water shortage, protect the present water resources and explore potential ones scientifically.

That‘s all. Thank you.

At present, people react to short messages wildly involved in various TV programs in different ways.

Defenders hold the view that short messages offer the audiences more chances to participate in the live programs, which can bring the mass media a lot of benefits and appeal to the need of the young people. Critics accuse that if the short messages are out of control, we cannot ensure the taste of the programs, and the expenses may make audiences feel bad. To make matters worse, some adolescents are so abdicated to them that too much time and energy are wasted.

As far as I am concerned, the short message is typical of information technology, but it is a powerful tool that needs to be used with care.

现在越来越多的年轻人选择网上购物，但是还有很多人尤其是老年人怀疑网上购物是否比传统购物更好。 支持的人 理由： 方便，省时，省钱，有优惠活动 反对的人 理由：网购买到的东西可能不合适，调换不方便；而传统购物 你的观点 注意： 1。 词数100左右； 2。 可以适当增加细节， 以使行文连贯。 Online shopping or not?

Nowadays, a growing number of young people choose online shopping. But there‘re also a lot of people, especially old ones, doubt that whether online shopping is better than traditional shopping ways.

People who are fond of online shopping say that it is convenient. And they say online shopping can not only save time, but also say money, since they will receive a discount at almost every online shop.

On the other side, traditional shopping lovers think that online shopping is likely to get things that don‘t fit you, like clothes. And it is not easy for a change. While when you do traditional shopping, you can try the product yourself, and change it at once, if needed.

I must admit the advantages of online shopping. I choose online shopping, but I‘ll be very careful and select the shops trusted by many people to avoid being cheated..

Shanghai, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, lies in the eastern part of China. The most wonderful scene of it is the beautiful light and the splendid buildings in the evening. Those old buildings have seen the changes of Shanghai and are bestowed with the prosperity of Shanghai. The number of the styles, the complexity of the types and the grand scale of those builds are beyond match in this world. They give a comprehensive reflection of the evolution of the modern society and cities and also provide a key to learn the culture of Shanghai and the history of modern China. In my eye, shanghai is such a modern city that attracts large numbers of tourists from all over the world, including many Chinese people. No matter from which view of Shanghai, they all speak highly of it!

The library has a total collection of over 22,000,000 copies of books, the largest number in Asia. It provided readers with spacious reading rooms, convenient online service and the latest Web information. Its grand building, modern facilities and good service will surely leave you a very deep impression. No. 9 bus can pick me up from home and drop me right in front of the library, so I often got here to study or to borrow books. I enjoy the quiet and literary atmosphere in the library.

Hope you can visit it some day and I‘m looking forward to your next letter. Best wishes,

Dear fellow students,

Our government is going to build a \ I believe it is everyone‘s duty to work hard to achieve this goal.

As high school students, what should we do?

First of all, we should love our motherland. Let's take a great interest in the development of our hometowns and take an active part in our school's activities.

Secondly, let's fill the world with love. We should show our respect for old people, our parents and teachers. We should also care for each other and help those in need. Most important of all, all of us must be faithful and honest in our daily life.

Finally, let's work together to save energy and protect our natural environment, including animals, trees,

(2) The aging of our society（老龄化社会）

The results of the survey given in the table show that the number of elderly people will increase from 132 million in 2015, and then to 400 million in 2050. Accordingly, the percentage will rise from 10% to 14%, and then to 25%. Obviously, our country is stepping into an aging society.

Several factors contribute to this phenomenon. One reason is that the good living conditions and good health care make people live longer than ever before. A healthy lifestyle may be another reason for their long life span.

As everyone will be old some day, we should try our best to make sure that old people can lead a happy life. To help the old, what we should do is to take good care of them and help them take care of themselves.

(3) The Benefits of Volunteering

Most students have the experience of being a volunteer. Volunteering is a great help to those people who are in need. Meanwhile, many volunteers agree that they can also get a lot in return.

In my opinion, the benefits of volunteering are as follows. First, it makes you feel good when you are helping others. Volunteer work can give you the feeling that you are needed and important . Second, volunteering will allow you to have a better understanding of other people and improve your communication skills. Third, it can be a challenge to your ability when dealing with difficult situations. For instance, in doing an unfamiliar task, you learn new skills.

In brief, volunteering is of great help to your sense of self-fulfillment. It also brings you a better understanding of other people and improves your ability.

In order to increase our knowledge and broaden our vision about arts, our school has started music

appreciation, calligraphy, painting and sculpture classes for us. The teaching methods are unique and suitable for art study. For example, in theory classes, our teachers show us some important achievements and let us analyze them with their help so that we can understand the inner meaning of the works. As a result, our appreciation is improved. Also, we are required to be active through the whole class, because you can‘t learn the subjects well with only a teacher‘s explanation. Different from the theory classes, the practice courses give us more

opportunities to paint and write. What‘s more, various artists can give us lectures every month. Besides, many students‘ works can be shown in our school‘s art gallery to show the progress and achievement made by the students.

I feel the courses and the teaching methods in our school are good and will help us carry on in study and in life. We hope you will attend our school.

Dear Johnson,

I‘m so glad to learn that you and your family are coming to settle down in China． After a careful study of the information about the two cities, I suggest you choose to live in City A. First of all, City A is a more popular city to live in. The environment in City A is better than that in City B and the climate there is very pleasant. Besides, there are many places for entertainment where you can enjoy yourselves in your spare time. As for the

employment, though the job opportunities are not so good as in City B, yet I don‘t think it‘s a problem for you as a teacher of English.

This is only my suggestion and it‘s up to you to decide. Hope to hear from you again. Yours, Li Hua

范例2：

最近，你校学生会对分类垃圾箱是否进教室一事进行了调查，调查结果见下表。请根据图表提供的信息用英语写一篇短文，介绍同学们的不同意见和看法，并表达你自己的观点。 注意：词数不少于60。提示词：饼状图pie chart

学生对分类垃圾箱进教室的不同看法及所占比例

Recently the student union conducted a survey on whether recycling dustbins should be set in classrooms. As can be seen from the pie chart, different students hold different opinions on this program. Only a few students care little about it. Surprisingly, about one third of students are totally against the program. They don‘t bother to change their old habits. However, over half the students are completely for the program, as it is not only beneficial to recycling of resources, but also it can help students develop their good habits of garbage classification. Besides, 12% of the students partly agree. They hold the opinion that educating people on how to classify the garbage goes first.

Personally, I‘m in favor of this program. I believe it‘s important to raise people‘s awareness of garbage classification, from which we will get considerable benefits for the future.

范例三： 1995年联合国教科文组织宣布每年的4月23日为―世界读书日‖。在第16个世界读书日来临之际，某中学的研究性学习小组分别对高一、高二和高三学生的课外阅读情况进行了调查，下面的图表显示了他们的调查结果。

根据上图信息，请以―Senior High School Students‘ Outside Reading‖ 为题，用英语写一篇短文，内容包括：

1. 简要描述图中信息；

2. 分析产生这种结果的原因（如没认识到阅读的重要性、作业多……）； 3. 谈谈你的看法。

注意：词数: 100—120，文章的题目和开头已给出（不计词数）； Senior High School Students‘ Outside Reading

As is shown in the chart, senior high school students spend less time reading as their grade rises. On average, students in Senior One spend 7 hours per week reading and those in Senior Two 4 hours. Much less time, only 2 hours, is devoted to reading by Senior 3 students.

Reasons are various. First, most students don‘t attach enough importance to outside reading. As a

consequence, their reading time is often taken up by other activities. Second, with their grade becoming higher, they have more homework to do, leaving no spare time for reading.

In my opinion, students should arrange adequate reading time to broaden their horizons. Meanwhile, teachers may encourage their students‘ outside reading by offering them a list of good books.

范例四：

下面的柱状图（bar chart）显示了某中学对100名同学（男女各半）未来的职业取向的调查情况。■—boy students □—girl students

根据上图信息，请以“My Futurn Career”为题，用英语写一篇100—120个词的短文。要求如下：

1．简要描述图中的信息（不用标明数据，只概述情况）； 2．谈谈你的选择和理由。

注意：文章的标题和开头已给出（不计词数）

My Future Career

31

As is shown in the bar chart, what the boys like to do is to become businessmen and scientists. Only a few boys want to be teachers. It is interesting that the number of boys and girls who want to become doctors is equal. As for lawyers, more boys expect to have this job. However, there are still some students who are not clear about their future.

To be frank, I will choose teacher as my profession in the future. The reasons can be listed as follows. For one thing, my ambition is to be a teacher when I was a little boy. In order to realize the dream, I have been taking great efforts. For another, I have received from my teachers the knowledge, guidance and love, which I want to pass to my students, sharing laughter and tears with them.

范例5：

最近某学校在学生中做了一次―有烦恼向谁说？‖的调查。调查结果如图表示。请你简要描述调查结果，并谈谈你自己的想法。

I am a Senior Three student．Recently we have carried out a survey--\findings are as follows.

9% of the students surveyed select friends or school-mates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble while another 33% tend to seek advice from teachers and parents. Nevertheless, there are also 58% who don't share their troubles at all and prefer to work on themselves.

Personally speaking, I feel it‘s quite natural to use these three ways to deal with personal affairs, but what surprises me most is the proportion each part takes. My first reaction to the survey results is ―shock‖. It seems rather common for the students nowadays to choose to keep their mouths shut rather than to turn to someone else when in trouble. Is it so hard for them to place trust in others? After having a second thought, I realize that we teenagers may be more independent, thoughtful and strong-minded than our parents and teachers expect us to be, as we have easy access to the online information we need—either by a computer or a mobile phone—to handle our worry properly in daily life.

二．漫画类 先描述图画 再发表自己看法

范文：简要描述图片，并谈谈你对学生在业余时间参加过多的补习和培训的看法。

32

（一） 内容要点：

Look at this picture. You will understand better ―Too much work makes Jack a dull boy‖. He has to go to so many training classes besides his school classes. Life is no fun at all for him. Holidays and weekends have become dull work-days. He is too tired to learn these lessons well with no interest.

In my opinion, spare-time training courses are a waste of time for many students. They might do better when they show interest in what they are learning. Please don‘t force these students to do what they are not willing to, and when learning is fun, surely they will do better than we expect!

练习1．

根据图画内容，以―We Want Our Schoolbags Lighter‖题，用英语写一篇100词左右的短文。短文须包括以下要点，不得逐条翻译。 1.简单描述漫画的内容； 2.作业负担过重； 3.精讲精练；

4.参加体育锻炼和社会活动。

We Want Our Schoolbags Lighter

The picture shows that a girl is wearing a pair of glasses and carrying a big heavy schoolbag, and a woman is doing some exercise. The girl says to the woman, “If you carry the schoolbag for me, I’m sure you will lose some weight.‖

As is well-known, we Chinese students are overburdened with lessons and homework which our teachers have given us. All that we do every day is to listen to our teachers’ lessons, to take notes and do our homework which seems endless.

We do hope our teachers will help us get more knowledge with fewer lectures, exercises and less homework. Only in this way will we have spare time to do more physical exercise and make us stronger, and we will have more spare time to take part in some social activities, which makes us all mentally and physically healthier. 练习2．

Directions: write an English composition in over 120 words bases on the picture and the instructions given below. 简要描述图片内容，结合生活实际，就图片的主题谈谈自己的感想。

The parents in the picture are teaching the girl how to ride a bicycle. Her father is holding the left handle of the bicycle and telling the girl how to ride a bicycle. He tells her that unless she puts her heart into learning, she can‘t ride well. Her mother is holding the right handle of the bicycle, she is telling the girl to be careful. She warns her that if she doesn‘t be careful, she will get off the bike. She is carrying a first-aid kit for her. She is afraid that her daughter will get hurt. The girl‘s grandmother is holding the back of the bicycle. They are doing their best to push the bicycle forward. The girl has nothing to do. She wonders whether her parents let her do her things by herself. In this way, how can a child learn well? 练习3．

The Tutor Mother Invited

This is a funny and instructive picture. In the picture we can see the mother hen invites a tutor – a goose to teach her baby chickens to swim. It is known to all that birds like chickens can‘t swim at all. But the mother hen wants her babies to learn to swim

following the tutor. We can imagine the final result.

Nowadays, many parents are treating their children like the mother hen. They expect their sons and daughters to become famous when they grow up. However, they don‘t know about their children‘s interests and advantages.

33

So they invite kinds of tutor to teach their children what they dislike or they are not good at. Finally they do harm to their children.

练习4．

请根据下面的漫画， 以―What Will the Child Become?‖为标题，写一篇短文。 要求：1 词数100左右，不包括已给出的开头部分；

2 内容要包括对本漫画画面的描述以及你自己对这一现象的看法。 参考词汇：电子琴—— electronic piano

What Will the Child Become?

Look at this picture. It is a picture of a family of five. Who is the ―King‖ of the family? The only child! He is riding his ―horse‖ – his father. What a proud ―King‖ he is! His grandfather is holding an umbrella over him and cooling him with a fan. His mother is carrying his schoolbag and lots of other things for. What is his grandmother doing behind? She is trying hard to carry an electronic piano and a drawing-board. But what will the child become in the future? He‘ll think of himself more than anyone else. He‘ll be unable to do anything without help. He‘ll become no good for the world. 练习5．

下面这幅画描述了一个情景。请根据中文提示以“They‘re Thinking Along the Same Line”为题写一篇短文。注意：1 短文须忠实描述图画内容，可发挥想象适当增加细节也可进行简单评述，但短文必须连贯。2 词数100字左右。

They‘re Thinking Along the Same Line

Here we see two men of a similar type. They happen to be riding in the same street, along the same side but from opposite directions. Neither of them wants to give way to the other. Great minds think alike. Today their minds happen to run along the same line: ―Anyway he wouldn‘t dare to run into me.‖ In no time they‘ll crash into each other, fall to the ground and roll together into the same ditch. Hopefully, from this incident, they will draw the same lesson: follow the traffic rules. 练习6．

目前中国学生的负担越来越重，减负的呼声日益高涨，但减负的结果如何呢？请根据下面两幅图，以“The Change of Load”为题用英语写一篇短文。

34

The Change of Load

From the two pictures, we can see that before the learning load is reduced, students carry a lot of books with them every day, wet with sweat. However, after the learning load is reduced, tuition makes many parents get into debt because their children have to go to college for a good future. At present, many students can‘t afford the heavy tuition, for which many of them will have to say good-bye to school or their parents will have a heavy debt load. When we call for reducing the students‘ learning load, we should also call on the tuition to be reduced. 35
