1. 一见难忘的事情

An Unforgettable Thing

As time goes, I have experienced many things. And they made me happy or unhappy. Many of them I have forgotten. But I will never forget Spring Festival in 2004!

During that Spring Festival, the whole city was filled with festive atmosphere except my family because my parents were in hospital in another city.

I remembered clearly at the beginning of 2004 when my father and mother went out to do business, they said they would be back in three days. On the third day, when my brothers and I were happily waiting for my parents’ return, the telephone rang. After answering the telephone, we cried. There happened a traffic accident on my parents’ way home! My parents were hurt seriously!

The Spring Festival is the traditional festival in China. It stands for reunion. But how dreary it was in my family! I missed my parents very much. I wished my parents could come back immediately, but it was impossible. On the New Years’ Eve, when every family was eating dumplings, I myself was trying my best to make dumplings for my brothers. How unlucky my family was!

However , I learned a lot.. I came to know how hard my parents had been! From then on, I promised I would take good care of my parents forever!

2. 把你目击的一起车祸描写出来

涉及：时间、地点、过程及原因分析

My name is Li Ming. I am studying at college. A week ago I saw a traffic accident , which is still vivid in my mind.

It was at about 9:00 on Saturday morning, June 15th, when I went out of the university to visit a friend of mine at another university. I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk when I heard a loud crash. Two taxis crashed together just at the crossing about 20 meters away from me. I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged. One driver was blooding and the other was stuck in the taxi. Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car. One man was calling to the traffic policeman station. A lot of cars were jammed on the road. Judging by the braking mark on the road, it was clear that both drivers were driving too fast. and that’s just one of the reasons. Therefore, we should let drivers keep it in their minds that nine out of ten traffic accidents result from fast driving. Taking care of others’ lives means taking care of your own life.

3. 西部开发 New Development for Central and Western China

The Chinese government has recently decided to develop central and western China. This part of China includes 9 provinces and autonomous regions and one municipality, covering an area of 5.4 million square kilometers with a population of 285 million.

The government will pay special attention to their transportation system. Some highways and railways will be built. To protect nature, farmers will return farmland to forest. Also, measures should be taken to prevent pollution. Western China is rich in natural resources, which can be exploited and made full use of. To meet the needs for the development, all kinds of experts and

skilled workers are to be brought in.

We have every reason to believe that the efforts made by the government will be a great success. As a result of the great project, the central and western regions of China will surely achieve greater and faster development in the new century. People there will have a better life and China will surely be richer and stronger.

4. 大学生自由选择任课老师

On Students Selecting Lecturers

Nowadays, some universities give students the right to choose the teachers they like. This has led to some debate over whether students should be given this power.

There are several factors that students consider when choosing a lecturer, including the teaching style of the lecturer, the lecturer’s academic background, and the lecturer’s reputation among students. The ideal lecturer is one who has an interesting teaching style, a diverse academic background, and a good reputation among students.

Allowing students to choose their lecturers has both positive and negative aspects. Giving students the choice encourages them to take ownership for their classes, and also puts pressure on teachers to improve their teaching quality. However, the factors that students consider might not be the ones that lead to the highest quality of education. Schools might end up with lecturers who teach interesting classes without much content.

5. 大学生娱乐活动利弊及个人看法

Recreational activities and study do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes,

What I usually do to relax after class is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for computer games for if I were absorbed in them , I wouldn’t have enough time to study. So keeping a balance between recreational activities and study is important.

To sum up, I strongly voice all the evidence justifies an unshakable view that our

trans-century college students should choose recreational activities appropriately. Therefore, in a sense, only when we pay close attention to it can we see a meaningful, extraordinary and harmonious future sooner or later.

5. 图表题 人们饮食过去5年的变化

As is shown in the table, there have been great changes in people’s diet between 1986 and 1990. from the table we can find that grain,, formerly the main food of most Chinese people, is now playing a less important role in their diet. And the same goes for fruit and vegetables. Meanwhile, the consumption of high-nutrition food such as milk and meat has increased rapidly.

There are mainly three reasons for the changes. First, people are much wealthier than before. Second, they have realized the importance of a balanced diet to their health. Finally, owing to the economic reform, meat and milk, which were scarce in the past, are produced in large quantities.

Although milk and meat are important to one’s health, eating too much rich food may result in obesity and many other diseases. Therefore, people should not only eat milk and meat but also grain, fruit and vegetables for the sake of their health.

7. Film is giving way to TV

You may have noticed that fewer people today prefer going to the cinema. Instead they watch TV at home. And this phenomenon is proved by the above graph. It shows that from 1975 to 1985，the number of TV watchers increased steadily, while the number of film-goers dramatically decreased.

There are at least two reasons for this trend. First, there is always one TV program that satisfies your taste. Secondly, watching TV at home saves money and the trouble of going out.

However, a small number of people enjoy movies. TV can never replace films for these people. For them, the film always has its unique charm including the cinema’s atmosphere.

As we know, no dish suits all tastes. Similarly, while many people prefer watching TV at home, a few like go to the cinema.

8. On Volunteering Activities

In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people, especially among youngsters. Statistics show there were about 1,700,000 volunteers offering service for 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Volunteering is of great benefits to both those in need and the society. Olympic Games are a good example. Without the volunteers , it would be a tough task to hold this un-precedent Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games。

As college students, we should get actively involved in volunteering activities. By participating, we can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve our interpersonal skills and organizational ability. Undoubtedly, all of these are critical for our own growth. So, we should take this chance.

3. 以《读书的方法》为题用英语写一篇短文。（120字左右）主要内容是：

读书的成功与否与读书方法的正确与否关系甚大。向读者提几点建议：

(1) 所读书籍难度要适中，偏难、偏易均不宜。如果发现一本书太难读，不妨先放在一 边一段时间，换一本容易些的读。

(2) 读书固然要读自己感兴趣的书，但更要读对自己有益的书。

(3) 有的书匆匆浏览便可，有的则需细读、精读。要随时记笔记。

(4) 不要羞于问问题，任何内行的人都是你的老师。

(5) 勤查词典。词典是你最好的老师。

The Ways for Reading

To read successfully requires correct ways of reading. Here are some suggestions：

(1) Choose books which are neither too difficult nor too easy for you. If you find it too hard to go on with the book, just put it aside for the moment and change for an easier one;

(2) Choose books that not only interest you but also benefit you, for reading is not always for fun only;

(3) Some books are to be read roughly, but some must be read slowly and carefully. Don’t forget to take some notes whenever you feel it necessary;

(4) Don’t be shy to ask questions. Anyone who knows more than you do can be your teacher;

(5) Make good use of dictionaries, for dictionaries are your best teachers.

4.网上购物

With the popularity of the Internet and people’s increasing purchasing power, buying on line is getting more and more popular, especially with young people.

Compared with traditional shopping mode, it is more convenient to purchase on the net , Just by clicking your mouse, you can get almost everything. The goods are usually delivered within two days. Besides, customers can have the goods at a very favorable price, usually 30 percent lower than in a street shop.

However, every time you use your credit card for an online purchase, you run the risk of credit card fraud. However this can be reduced by transacting on a secure site. Likewise some products are not returnable. The concern about releasing personal financial information on the Internet remains another cited reason.

5. 经济发展与环保的关系

Great progress has been made in China's economy since reform and opening up to the outside world. The speed of development has been accelerating in the past 15 years but accompanied by it is more pollution.

It is reported that most rivers in China get polluted and carbon dioxide emission ranks on the top in the world. The situation is serious.

How to keep a rapid economic development without causing too much damage to the environment? First of all, governments at all levels must place an equal emphasis on both economic development and environmental protection and execute the rules and laws strictly. Secondly, we must try to make full use of renewable clean energy The most important factor, I think, is to raise people's awareness of protecting the environment.

6. 商业广告的作用，存在的问题， 我的看法

Advertisements ,an important role in economy, the best way to let consumers know the product well, are useful to both consumers and producers.

As every coin has its two sides, there are pros as well as cons concerning advertisements. Advertisements try to influence our emotions by making us buy things we do not need. They imply that money can make our dreams come true. A lot of advertisements are, therefore, a form of lying. Some ads are annoying. They often interrupt the program we are watching.

I think advertisers shouldn't offer a product that fails to live up to to the promise of their advertisements. Film or sports stars speaking for the advertisements should be responsible for what they say. Consumers have the right to ask for the claim if they get hurt by the goods advertised.

7. Food Safety 食品安全

1、食品安全事件不断发生所以近年来越来越受到关注；

2、它造成巨大的危害；

3、我们该如何做？

危害：1、浪费资源；2、对诚信经营是打击，产生道德危机；3、严重危害群众的健康和生命。

对策：1、法律；2、识别；3、加强监管。

Nowadays, unsafe foods can be found in the market now and then, which has aroused a lot of public attention. It is reported that these foodstuff ranges from substandard milk powder, dyed steamed buns to pork with lean meat powder.

Fake commodities are harmful in many ways. They have bad effect on the reputation of honest manufacturers and bring about moral crisis. Above all, all that matters is food. People’s health and lives are severely threatened if someone buys some unsafe foodstuff.

Measures should be taken to deal with the problem. The government should strengthen the supervision of all aspects of food. Strict laws should be passed to punish the producers and the sellers. At the same time, consumers should learn to tell the good from the bad. I believe this problem will be solved in the future.

On the Food Security

These years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media. The problem of food security has become a hot issue across society. The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health.

There are a couple of driving forces. First, in the course of the rapid economic development, we ignore moral education. More importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend.

Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.

8. Drunken Driving 醉酒驾车

1、醉酒驾车增多的原因；

2、醉酒驾车的危害；

3、如何减少醉酒驾车？

Drunken driving has been a grave problem with which we are confronted. There are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon. Firstly, recent decades have witnessed the rapid development of people’s living standards. Therefore, cars gained ever-increasing popularity. Secondly, people participate in more banquets, where they will drink liquor/strong wine but continue to drive.

Drunken driving will directly threaten the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians, resulting in traffic accidents, injuries and even deaths. Besides, treating the injured and repairing broken cars mean a waste of money, time and resources.

Effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential to strengthen laws and regulations to punish those performing drunken driving. Secondly, the public, especially drivers, should enhance their awareness of public safety. With these, drunken driving may become things of past.

范文：

The past decades have witnessed an increase in the number of rich families , which gradually draws more public attention to the issue of rich second generation .

There has been a widespread public debate over this issue. Some people believe that the rich second generation can benefit from being wealthy With the abundant resources and chances provided by their wealthy parents, the rich second generation are usually well educated and trained .They are more likely to make important contribution to the society . However, others hold that being rich has a negative effect on them .It is quite common for a rich kid to fall into some bad habits ,including showing off their wealth and feeling too proud.

From my point of view , the rich second generation do have the potential to be leading figures. However ,they should remain modest and make efforts for that.

11. 提高个人修养 Shaping the Morality

According to a survey, more than two thirds of people in China agree that the public moral level is lower than before. If you pay some attention, you could easily point out some improper behaviors happening around: refusing to give seats to the old on buses; jamming into queue crude etc.

This trend of degradation mainly originated from faulty education. For decades, moral cultivation becomes a kind of formalism in class. In addition, almost everything is measured in terms of money.

How can things become better? I firmly believe the first important is that leaders at all levels should set us a good example. We should also manage ourselves well, and try to shape our own morality as perfect as possible. If you do so, you’ll have a positive impact on the people around you.

12. Offering seats on the bus 让座

Buses are always crowded in rush hours. Commuting students and office workers can be hard to get a seat. So can other people on the bus.

Suppose you’ve got a seat. If a mother with a baby, an old adult , stood beside you, would you offer your seat to them or just ignore them. Remember: helping each other is one of the

traditional Chinese virtues. As the youths，I think it's necessary for us to offer seats to those who really need them.

First, it's the behavior of good manners. You are polite enough if you do so. Second, it's the need of social morality. However, if you can't achieve this, it shows you are not a noble person. And as a result, you will be looked down on by many people.
