English exams were very easy to me and I always got the highest marks in my class. Then I succeeded in the College Entrance Examination and was admitted into a college. In the college, however, English seemed more and more difficult. Instead of learning grammar, I had to read long articles full of new words and strange sentence patterns. Listening was not easy, either. But I kept on working hard. With the help of my English teacher, I really made great progress. Besides reading and listening, I hope to improve my spoken and written English. Our country will keep its “reform and opening policy” to the outside world and every field needs a lot of people who master English. I am going to be one of such people in the future.

In many cases, self-confidence is crucial to one’s success because on the one hand, it provides a solid psychological ground for one’s work, on the other hand, it is based on an evaluation of one’s understanding of a certain kind of knowledge done by oneself. Self-confidence is an important psychological factor in our work. We can safely draw the conclusion that being given the same kind of work, a self-confidence person will find the work much easier and more interesting than one that holds a gloomy view on one’s own ability. Similarly, when facing a patient, the doctor who is quite confident of his diagnosis is more likely to give much comfort to the patient and therefore achieves more satisfying result than a doctor who isn’t because the self-confidence of a doctor greatly influences his patient’s mood. However, we shouldn’t confuse self-confidence with conceit. The former is based on a thorough understanding of knowledge one has acquired but the latter isn’t. Conceit may make people succeed temporarily, but that won’t last, nevertheless, self-confidence is forever a help, a stimulus to one’s success. (195 words) 3. Topic 11 电视疏远家庭成员的关系 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Some people believe that the spread of TV has made families less closer. To what degree do you agree or disagree with this opinion? 1 You should write at least 250 words. You should use your own ideas of knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. As one of the most important inventions of the past century, TV is playing a more and more important role in modern life. However, some people are starting to worry about its negative effects on traditional families. I am convinced that the existence of TV has brought about alienation among family members. First, watching TV occupies our time to communicate with our families. TV provides a ready means of relaxation for people who spend their days doing routine and busy jobs. As soon as TV enters into our home, most of our free time is controlled by it. What is more, the one-eyed monster requires absolute silence and attention. If any member dares to open his mouth, the others order him to shut up immediately. Therefore we communicate less with our family members. Furthermore, families often quarrel over what programs they should watch. Thanks to hardworking TV workers, we enjoy more TV channels and more colorful TV programs. But a question has arisen: it is difficult for families to choose a common channel because they have different interests. It is inevitable to given rise to quarrel among them. In addition, poor-quality TV programs can have severe effects on people’s mood and behavior. For instance, a person who watches too many idealized programs may become unrealistic. In addition, unhealthy programs which contain obscene and violent contents may cause people’s curiosity. In conclusion, I think that TV indeed has led to alienation among family members. We should be aware about the problem. Something should be done as soon as possible to protect the families from the negative effects of television. For example, we should reduce the time spent in front of the little screen and spend more time with our families together.

They are just crazy about their idols and beloved music. The reasons why they like popular music may be as the following shows.

In our country, children are taking very good care of. Special laws have been issued to protect children. Thousands of schools have been set up to make education available to all children. The party and the government pay due attention to the growth of children because they represent our bright future. Nowadays, the“one child per family” policy had been practiced all over the country. So far the policy has been showing positive effects. For example, parents have more time and energy to look after their children, and as a result, children become healthier and more intelligent. However, the“one child per family” policy also has some side-effects. For instance, a number of parents have gone too far in raising their children. They try to satisfy every demand of their spoiled kids, thus turning them into“flowers in the nursery” that cannot bear any hardship or difficulty. It is time we should discuss and study the problem of education children. (169 words) 6.Topic 12 媒体报道名人 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Should famous people have more privacy? Does the media treat celebrities fairly? You should write at least 250 words. You should use your own ideas of knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. Being famous is not as easy as you think. Newspapers, television and the Internet can make you very well-known, but they can also take away your privacy. This essay will discuss whether celebrities are treated fairly by the media. Famous people depend on the media. Without films, television, magazines, radio, and other media, there would be no money for actors or musicians, and politicians would not get elected. Without advertisements, Beckham would not get huge contracts. However, in return for publicity and even more fame and money, celebrities sell part of their personal and professional lives. Often, their 3 friends and families suffer too. The media, in turn, depends on celebrity. Sports heroes, super models, and politicians fill the pages of our papers and our television screens. But the relationship can easily go wrong. Too much attention from the media can drive some celebrities crazy. The families are affected, and relationships break down. Their work or social life suffers, leading to even more rumors and media stories. Like a pack of wild dogs, the press feeds on its victims and fights over the bones. Sometimes, the media has a duty to do. It must tell the public about some wrongdoing or some crooked business deal. But usually the main business of the media is to sell more magazines or advertisements, and when it has chewed up one victim, the pack will move on to the next. In conclusion, there is a constant battle between media and celebrities, and often there are human victims. The next time you read about the latest footballer or singer, think about the human behind the story. (270 words) 7.旅行 Travelling It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see typical beautiful scenery of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries. The main reason why people travel is, perhaps for pleasure. For instance, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a weekend trip to the nearby mountains or beaches a real relaxation. For another example, spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder. Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you will have found later in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book. (252 words) 8.职业的选择 Parents generally believe it is their responsibility to plan the careers for their children. They claim that they know their children well enough to decide what 4 kind of job suits them. Hoping that their children will go in for professions that will bring them the greatest prestige and economic benefit, many parents think that their children are too young to see this for themselves. There are some parents who even expect their children to take over the careers of their fathers. For these reasons, many parents insist that their children should obey them in choosing careers. But many children suggest that they should be left free to choose their own careers. For one thing, parents and children may not share the same interest. A job that appeals is likely to be boring for their children. For another, children have been brought up in a different age from their parents’, and therefore, should be allowed to cultivate a spirit of independence and self-reliance. In short, children should be free to make their own decisions as to future careers. In my opinion, in this case as in many other things, mutual understanding is important. On the one hand, parents’ view does reflect their concern for the well-being of their children. On the other hand, after all it is the children who will be doing the jobs. Therefore, it will be wise for parents to give them this freedom while for the children they should consult their parents when it is necessary.

Some people believe commodities that are popular among consumers reflect the power of advertisement rather than the real needs of people. Do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words. You should use your own ideas of knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. Whether we like it or not, advertisement has been pouring into our daily life. They are so powerful that some people believe that it is not the needs of people but the power advertisement that makes commodities popular. Personally I don’t agree with this opinion. First, let’s make clear what the real needs of people are. Real needs can be divided into two categories: the material satisfaction and spiritual satisfaction. People tend to regard material satisfaction as real needs and spiritual satisfaction as waste of money and time. This is not true. Some commodities may not be useful but they can give the owner a kind of satisfaction. Second, let’s make clear the reason why advertisement is powerful. The key principle of advertisers is to grasp the needs of consumers, then pass the 5 potential consumers the information that their commodities can meet your need. Advertisers can promote the needs of people, exploit the needs or even produce the needs of people. But whatever they do, it will be based on the needs of people. But there are some advertisements that exaggerate the functions of the commodities to tell the wrong information to consumers. They make the commodities popular by cheating the majority of consumers. And also there are some commodities that do harm to the health of consumers and to the society. For example, smoking is poisonous, but the advertisements try to make a heroic image of the smokers, as the result smoking is popular among young men who are dreaming to become heroes in women’s eyes. But such advertisements are minorities. In summary, advertisements bring us convenience to choose the commodities that can meet our needs. Most of the commodities are popular due to their usefulness, only some of them are due to the influence of advertisement.

But most of them, attracted by the job opportunities and modern life, come to stay. People enjoy city life chiefly for its conveniences. To begin with, the city provides fast transport with roads and buses leading to every corner. Then, there are apartment stores and shops all over the city, where you can buy all kinds of goods you want. Besides, hospitals and other services are all with in easy reach. Indeed, whatever you need, you can easily get what you want. However, cities are confronted with many problems. One is the housing problem. For example, it is not uncommon for two or even three generations to share an apartment. Another problem is pollution. The air is not clean and the environment is noisy. Finally, there is the problem of competitive atmosphere. For instance, people who have been in the apartment block may well be strangers to each other. In short, the city is only a place for business, to be visited occasionally. It is not an ideal place for permanent residence.

Before making up their 6 mind, they have to consider everything carefully. Some students prefer to work upon graduation. Their parents have supported them financially throughout their university years, and now with a bachelor’s degree they can easily find a job. They want to be independent of their parents as early as possible. Besides, practical experience seems more important to them than book knowledge. Of course, they are always aware that it is hard to find a satisfactory job with their first academic degree. Other students would rather study towards a master’s degree because they think more theory and a higher degree can enable them to do work in an ideal position in future. But the disadvantage of this choice is obvious: they have to spend another three years before they can earn money. I have decided to continue my studies to get a masters’ and a doctor’s degree. It has always been my dream to be a successful scientist. Money is no problem to me as my parents are quite rich and they will certainly help me when I need money to get married. (212 words) 12.Topic 14 动物试验 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Should experiments be conducted on animals for the benefit of human beings? You should write at least 250 words. You should use your own ideas of knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. Every day, thousands of people are saved from painful diseases and death by powerful medical drugs and treatments. This incredible gift of medicine would not be possible without animal testing. Despite these overwhelming benefits, however, some people are calling for animal testing to be banned because of alleged cruelty. This essay will examine arguments for and against animal testing. Those against the use of animal testing claim that it is inhumane to use animals in experiments. I disagree completely. It would be much more inhumane to test new drugs on children or adults. Even if it were possible, it would also take much longer to see potential effects, because of the length of time we live compared to laboratory animals such as rats or rabbits. Opponents of animal testing also claim that the results are not applicable to humans. This may be partly true. Some drugs have had to be withdrawn, despite testing. However, we simply do not have alternative methods of testing. 7 Computer models are not advanced enough, and testing on plants is much less applicable to humans than tests on animals such as monkeys. Until we have a better system, we must use animal testing. A further point often raised against animal testing is that it is cruel. Some of the tests certainly seem painful, but the great majority of people on this planet eat meat or wear leather without any guilt. Where is their sympathy for animals? Furthermore, animals clearly do not feel the same way as humans, and scientists are careful to minimize stress in the animals, since this would damage their research. I agree that we need to make sure that animals who are used for testing new products have the minimum of suffering. However, I am convinced that animal testing is necessary, and that it will continue to benefit humans in new and wonderful ways.(311 words) 13.电视对人们的影响 Influence of TV on people Television now plays such an important part in so many people’s lives that it is essential for us to try to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse. Obviously, television has both advantages and disadvantages. As is often pointed out, television keeps one better informed about the current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in politics and science, and offers endless series of programs which are both instructive and stimulating. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one’s room. Yet here again, there is a danger. The main problem with TV has been its effect on young people. They are now so used to getting their information and education and entertainment from television that their literacy as well as physical ability have greatly been weakened. Worse than all, rubbish commercials and harmful programs lead to bad tastes and a distorted viewpoint towards human life, and even poison one’s mind, contributing to the rise in violence and crime in the street. In any case, whether the ultimate effect of TV is good or not, one thing is certain that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society. (216 words) 14.保护环境 Preserving Our Environment Man is slowly polluting his environment. He dirties the air with waste gases; he poisons the water with chemical wastes; he damages the soil with fertilizers. 8 Pollution does great harm to man. As we know, air and soil are necessary to man’s survival. Polluted air, water and soil make people sick and even cause deaths. Environmental pollution is becoming one of the most serious problems that mankind faces. Now it’s high time drastic action was taken. First, we should make the public aware of the dangers caused by pollution. Second, we should take pollution control measures to reduce pollution. Third, we should keep our pollution under control. After all, the earth is our home. We must take care of it for ourselves and our descendants. (125 words) 15. Topic 15 环境问题国际化 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Environment problems are too big for individual countries or people to solve. Rather, it should be dealt with at an international level. Do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words. You should use your own ideas of knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. Human society has developed into a stage where environmental problems have gone beyond national borders and become an issue that can be only solved by the cooperation of all the countries in the world. First, the seriousness of the environmental problems has gone beyond the individual country’s ability to solve. The environment has been polluted for hundreds of years by all the people in every country. So it is impossible to ask one country to solve the problem of the whole human society. Second, the environment of the whole globe is a unity and it cannot be treated separately by each country. For example, the air pollution of carbon dioxides in one country will cause the warmth of the whole globe and ultimately affect other countries. Third, due to lacking of capital and advanced technology, some countries are not capable of dealing with the environment problems. They need the international assistance. But, when we emphasize on the solution at the international level, it is by no means the excuse for individual countries or people to pass the buck to others. Since it is the problem of the whole human society, each member has his own duty. Only when every individual takes up his responsibility can the problem be solved. Further more, there are rich countries and poor countries. It is impossible for each country to take up the same duty for the existence of different national powers. Rich countries should not refuse to make 9 contributions at the excuse that poor countries take less responsibility. And on the other hand, poor countries should not give up the hope to solve the problem at the excuse of lacking the ability. We have only one earth, only under the efforts of all the countries can we make better of our home. Each member should make his own contribution. (305 words) 10
