2002年1月真题范文:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic:
A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
假设你是李明,请你就本校食堂的状况给校长写一封信,内容应涉及食堂的饭菜质量、价格、环境、服务等,可以是表扬,可以是批评建议,也可以兼而有之。
Dear Mr. President,
I’m very lucky to attend this world-famous university, but I’m afraid I’m not content with the canteen service on campus.
Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year, they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety.
Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food.
Finally, the environment is so noisy that we can’t enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax.
Those presented suggestions are not just of my own, but also of many other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to your suggestions.
By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.
Best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
2001年6月真题范文:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter.
Suppose you are Zhang Ying. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the week-long holiday. You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestions given below in Chinese.
1. 表示欢迎
2. 提出过度假安排的建议
3. 提醒应注意的事项
Dear Xiao Wang,
Is it really true? Are you coming to visit me for the upcoming holiday? We have not seen each other for such a long time and I have missed you.
Do you have any plans for what you would like to do? Since you are not familiar with where I live, I can make some recommendations. There are many scenic spots in the suburbs. When you first get here, we could plan a camping trip with some of my classmates. We can also visit the museums which are very interesting. And, we can go shopping! The shopping malls downtown are large and many have discount promotions during the holidays.
What do you think of my recommendations? I should tell you that the weather here is much colder so you should bring a warm overcoat. Please also take care of your belonging during your travel here as there has been much theft reported.
I am looking forward to your visit.
My best wishes.
Yours,
Zhang Ying

Dear Admissions Officer:
I studied in Nanjing University from 2001 to 2006. My major is economic administration. I am a hard working man as well as a good team leader with pleasant personality. Since I began my study in Nanjing University I have fully absorbed in the magic world of economics and studied diligently. In addition, I actively participate in students work in the Students’ Union. I manage to keep a good balance between study and students work. I feel very proud that my efforts had born fruit. In the consecutive four years I have won from the University various scholarships for my good study and efficient students work.
While I am studying very hard here I have long dreamed to further my study overseas in some famous universities like Columbia University in America. I apply for the MBA program because I feel interested in business work and the long-time experience of
working as a student leader will certainly help make me a competent team worker in the future. Consequently, after long time hard working and good preparation, I hope your honorable admission officers could give me a chance to study there.
Thank you very much! Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Kun Chen

Travel-mate Wanted
I’m a 19-year-old female sophomore named Zhang Peng. I hereby earnestly invite a foreign young lady—college student preferred—to make a three C week touring trip with me.
My plan is to set off next weekend, when the summer vacation officially begins. The first stop is Kunming, the world-renowned city for its beauty and mild temperature. We’ll get there by train and stay there for 2 days, and then we’ll head for Jingg angshan, a former revolutionary base as well as a natural beauty spot. After a 3-day visit there, we will take a long-distance coach to a nearby port city by the Changjiang River and board a downstream ship to Shanghai, so that we can enjoy the great scenery alongside the third longest river in the world. As everybody knows, Shanghai is the busiest and fastest developing city in China. I’d like to have a look at its prosperity, so the stay there will be about half a week. And a famous Chinese saying goes, ”Just as there is Paradise in heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on Earth ”, so a 4-day visit to these two cities near Shanghai is must. All together, our trip will last about three weeks.
I only expect that my travel-mate could split the expenses with me and talk with me in beautiful English, and I would be an excellent guide for her since I major in tourist guiding. Those interested please contact me either through email ([email protected]) or phone call (52222221).
