    【参考范文】
    Harmfulness of Fake Commodities Nowadays there is a growing concern among general public about the issue of enormous fake commodities. In the supermarket, you may buy some fake food commodities. In the pharmacist’s, you may buy some fake medicine. Fake commodities are prevalent and have disturbed our everyday life.
    The deep root of this phenomenon lies in someone’s greed for money. In order to get a large amount of money in a short time with little costs, they try every means to produce fake commodities, without any regard for other people’s benefit and health.
    Fake commodities can do great harm to both consumers and the society. For example, the fake medicine purchased by the patient not only fails to cure the disease but also may produce negative effect on the already weak body.. Sometimes it can even cause death. What’ s more, fake commodities are usually sold at a lower price, which may lead to unfair competition in the market economy and puts the whole society in disorder.

    Directions: You are asked to write a composition in about 160 words and you should base your composition on the information given in English below:  Some people criticize the students who invited their friends to dinners when they got their scholarship. They say that students should save scholarships for future studies, not just invite friend to dinners.1. Do you agree with the people? 2. Give at least two reasons to support you idea.

    正确答案:
    Scholarships Can Be Used for Fun I don't agree with the people, because I think spending scholarship having fun with friend is also a good choice.
    Firstly by going to dinner together you can enjoy some happy time with your friends. The enlarged enrollment of university students results in fierce stresses and competition. Every day we students are driven to struggle for a happy and bright future like industrious donkeys and consequently have little time to enjoy the gentle perfume of friendship. But we are all human beings. We need not only successes in study, but also emotional contacts. How to satisfy this need? A little get-together of friends will do. Communication and mutual understanding can originate from eating and drinking. So spending scholarships on dinner is not a bad idea.
    Secondly, having fun with your friends can reduce the stress that most college students encounter. College life is competitive and stressful, so many student suffer from sleeping or eating disorders. When you have dinner with your friends, you laugh, chat and add nutrients at the same time. It is good for both of your mental and physical health, so why not do it.
    In a word, friendship and health is more important than money. So I will choose the former.

    Directions: There is a strange phenomenon that many college students passed college English tests, and some even with high scores, but they could not properly communicate with foreigners, nor can they translate between languages, let alone write well in English. Where do the problems lie? Write a composition giving your opinion about the problems. You should write at least 160 words.

    正确答案:
    There is a strange phenomenon that many college students passed college English tests, and some even with high scores, but they could not properly use it in real life. How does this happen? I think several reasons lie behind this phenomenon.
    First reason connects with the English classes. The teaching is teacher-centered and the only thing for the students to do is take notes down and recite as many grammar rules as they can. The materials are not good for ability improving, for the emphasis is always on the multiple choices. The students can get rare chance to speak out their true feelings. Secondly, the environment for the students to practice their oral English is hard to find. English corners can only be found in college once a week. And most of the time they keep silent.
    Now,it is time to change all this. On the one hand, the materials should add more practical subjects. And there should be a shift concerning the teaching emphasis, from teacher-centered to students-centered. On the other hand, more English speaking environment should be provided to the students.

You should base your composition on the following information given in Chinese.  有些大学毕业生在毕业前与某些公司签订合同,同意毕业后去该公司工作,但是毕业后他们又找到了更好的或工资更高的工作,就撕毁了与原来那家公司签订的合同而另谋高就。对此你如何看待,说出你的理由。

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Should Graduating Students Break Their Job Contract? I think graduating students should not be blamed for breaking their original job contracts and they should be given more freedom to choose their jobs.
    First, graduating students have no experience in job-hunting. It is not unusual for a graduating student to find a job hastily and blindly. If they realize they have made a mistake, they should be given another chance, because one’s first job is extremely important for his whole life. Second, many companies are dishonest. They try their best to pay as little as they can to their new employees. So many college graduates are underpaid. And finally, it is natural and reasonable for graduating students to choose a better job with a higher salary. Everyone wants to live a better life, and graduating students are no exception. They have to pay off their education loans and help support their family.
    If I were in the same situation, I would do it. But I would inform the original company to obtain their forgiveness.

You should write 150 words and you should base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below.  1. 别人请求帮助时,在什么情况下我们会说“不”?  2. 为什么有些人在该说“不”的时候不说“不”?  3. 该说“不”时不说“不”的坏处。

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Don’t Hesitate to Say “No” There are many conditions on which we should not hesitate to say “No” when asked for help. For one thing, when we are not able to offer help, we should give others a direct reply “No”. For another, when the thing we are asked for is unreasonable or even illegal, we should also say “No”.
    However, it is not often the case in our real life. Many people tend to say “Yes” while actually they should say “No”. Firstly, they are afraid to lose their own face, for they think refusal means their inability. Secondly, they are afraid to offend their acquaintances, such as their friends or relatives.
    In fact, there are disadvantages in doing so. At first, they are not able enough or willing enough to do the thing for others. Therefore, the thing cannot be accomplished well. At last they may lose both their acquaintances’ trust and their own faces.

    Advanced Technology Is Changing the Way We Learn With the development of technology, every aspect of our life has been changed and the way we learn is no exception. The use of computer is a good example. With the help of the computer and Internet we can learn a great amount of knowledge without going to the classroom and asking professors to answer the questions, and we can also get access to the books we want to read in various libraries through the Internet.
    With the application of advanced technology we can learn more easily and efficiently. For example, when we meet some new words while reading English articles, we don’t have to look the new words up in a dictionary. With a click, the computer’s electronic dictionary will immediately tell us the meaning of the new words. In addition, the computer can help us analyze our research data and finish papers more easily.

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    The Week-long Holiday Policy The week-long holiday policy has been with us for almost ten years and it has brought great benefits for both the country and the people. Many Chinese people have taken advantages of the week-long holiday to get together for a family reunion, and many others have spent the time traveling, going shopping or just relaxing. As business and tourism boomed during the holiday, the country’s economy has developed very quickly in the past few years.
    However, the week-long holiday has brought some problems. As the domestic demand is enlarged by concentrated consumption during the holidays, the quality of service gets worse and consumers’ rights and safety can’t be assured. We can often hear of complaints and the news about traffic accidents.
    In order to solve the problems of the week-long holiday, I think we can arrange the holiday at different times. For the May Day Holiday, for instance, some people may have it from April 27 to May 3, some from May 1 to May 7, and others may have it from May 4 to May 10. In this way, the pressure caused by concentrated consumption will be relieved, and everyone will be happy.

All the appliances we need in our life, such as electric lights, televisions, computers, refrigerators and air conditioners, need electricity to function properly. Electricity is precious to everyone in the modern society, so we should save electricity.

Secondly, we should choose a low carbon lifestyle, such as using air conditioning less often and not turning on several electrical appliances at the same time. Thirdly, we should also buy energy-saving household appliances. In a word, we should pay attention to economize on electricity anytime and anywhere.

    问答题
    Some people think that parents should plan their children's leisure time carefully. Others believe that children should decide for themselves how to spend their free time. Which opinion do you agree? Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view.

    正确答案:
    Childhood is a decisive period in the process of one's growth. Therefore, many people think that parents should carefully plan not only their children's school education but also their spare time. Other people, however, argue that children should have the freedom to plan their own extracurricular life. On balance, I would side with those parents who respect children's freedom and independence.
    If children have the freedom to make decisions on how to spend their spare time and develop their interests, they will gradually form a sense of responsibility and become more capable in the world. Take myself as a good example. My parents are like good teachers and helpful friends in my life. As I remember, they never excessively interfered with my life and always left enough freedom to me so that I could embark upon what I liked to do in my spare time. They quite understood that my weekdays were occupied with a heavy workload, and that only in my spare time I could have a change of pace. Meanwhile, although mutual understanding and tolerance were an important part of my childhood life, in no way does it mean that they spoiled me. They were austere teachers when I made mistakes, and helpful friends when I came across difficulties. Owing to their understanding, tolerance, guidance, and above all, love, I have grown up to be a person of self-confidence, optimism, and independence, ready to meet any challenges in my life. Without the free family environment that my parents carefully designed for me, I wouldn't have lived such a happy life.
    On the contrary, some parents expect too much of their children, depriving them of all their independence and freedom. These parents would rather sacrifice their children's interests and happiness for nothing but good scores, thus resulting in serious misunderstanding between parents and children. Some parents even went so far as to plan their children's schedule, filling every minute with study task. In this ease, children are deprived of happiness because they are bound hand and foot by endless homework, numerous exams and boring evening or weekend classes. Furthermore, having no freedom to plan their own life, these children are more likely to become introvert, heavily dependent on their parents when they grow up. This will definitely affect their growth. For one thing, since they have no opportunity to develop their independent thinking and explore their potential, they will find it very difficult to adjust themselves to the competitive society. For another, confining them in an ivory tower will make it hard for them to communicate with others. This will affect their career development in the future because the communication between people plays a major role in the workplace, and is one of the most important elements in achieving career success. Obviously, parents' excessive interference with children's after-school life, if carried to the extreme, can cause serious damage to both their happy childhood and their career in the future.
    To sum up, I believe that parents should leave enough freedom and privacy to their children with a view to cultivating their character. As long as parents allow their children the necessary freedom accompanied by careful guidance, their children will grow up to be independent, responsible and successful.

    Is It Right to Copy Online Papers? Nowadays as Internet becomes more and more popular, almost every college student or graduate student surf the Internet every day. Some of the students take advantage of the Internet to copy online papers, and after some revision, they hand the paper in and get their degrees.
    Frankly speaking, I would rather write my own paper, though I cannot write as well as the one online. Firstly, I think, copying papers from the Internet is a kind of crime, which can lead to a lawsuit. It is just as serious as you steal other people’s property. Secondly, the teachers may find your tricks, as they know better than you in the field. If they find anything unusual, they may check the Internet for Web pages related to your field. Then you will be caught red-handed. Finally and most importantly, by writing your own research paper, you can learn more. That’s why you are asked to write a research paper.

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Environment: Everybody’s Business or Nobody’s Business? Environment is to us what water is to fish. It is so important to us that we should all take measures to protect it, because nobody can afford to lose the precious environment.
    However, in terms of protecting the environment, people have different attitudes. Some people think that the environment belongs to us all, and that it is “our” business, and therefore, not mine. So they are not aware that they should take part in the protection of environment. This could be very dangerous if everybody holds such an irresponsible view. Fortunately, there are people who regard the protection of environment as their own business. They do more than mere talk about the environment. For example, they avoid using plastic bags; they sort things out for recycling; and they volunteer to plant trees and grasses. It is these people that are preventing the environment from worsening, and are bringing hopes to ourselves and our future generations.
    All in all, everybody’s business shouldn’t be nobody’s business as regards to environment protection. All of us need to work hand in hand, and we can surely make the world a better place.

    In this section, you are asked to write a composition on “Competition in a Modern Society” with no less than 140 words. Your composition should be based on the following outline given in English.  1.Some people believe that it is very necessary to encourage competition in a modern society.  2.Other people think that it is not necessary, especially in our society.  3.Your comments on these two views, and give examples to support your opinion.

    正确答案:
    Competition in a Modern Society In the fast developing society where everything seems to move at a very quick pace, competition seems to be inevitable. Some people believe that it is very necessary to encourage competition in a modern society. I completely agree with this opinion. Because competition will help promote the society and help remove what is backward.
    Other people think that competition is not necessary, especially in our society. I can understand their worry, but I can’t support this view. They are worrying that competition will bring about unemployment, bankruptcy and social disorder. But I believe these phenomena are just temporary, and in the long run, competition will make the society a better and more efficient place to live in.
    I strongly believe that competition is necessary in our society. With competition, our market is lively, and efficiency will be improved. A good example is the TV production. As there is severe competition in TV manufacturing, and the price of a TV set continues to drop while the quality gets better and better. Customers have benefited much from the competition.

    正确答案:
    Distance Learning Programme—the Best Way? Recently it is very common for people to take some Distance Learning Programme, so that they can study at home on the Internet. Many people hold that the Distance Learning Programme is more convenient and faster for those who are working in the company or the government, especially for those who want to learn a language. Without going to a classroom, people could learn a language, do exercises, or even communicate with others at home via the wide spread of computer and communication technology.
    On the contrary, some people argued that traditional language learning classrooms are more practical because of the real language-speaking context. In the traditional language learning classroom people can communicate with classmates or teachers face to face. Some people consider that oversees study can improve language more rapidly and student can learn more authentic exotic culture.
    In my opinion, I prefer to study in a traditional or authentic classroom. The reason is that I can communicate with other students or teachers in a real way and can learn some cultural knowledge from visiting other countries. I believe that visiting hundreds of places is better than reading thousands of books.

    正确答案:

    I appreciate these college students’ spirit of joining the vegetarian group, but I don’t agree with them. According to their points, they stop eating meat with the hope of blocking the development of the stockbreeding industry, which destroys the environment and kills other creatures. But I don’t think their act is a win-win solution.
    First, sufficient and proportional nutrition is the key to maintaining health. A large amount of research demonstrates that meat provides valuable nutrition and is especially important for students who have to shoulder heavy academic burdens in colleges. So we should eat some meat each day to have enough protein, which is good for our health.
    Second, we need more practical and sensible measures to protect the environment. The harshest risks to our environment are industrial pollution, deforestation and automobile exhaust. I don’t think cutting animal products out of our lives could be tremendously helpful.

More than 100 of the school's relatively poor students are now housed in these buildings. Besides simple facilities, the major difference between these and other dormitories is that the housing costs 500 yuan a year, but in other residence halls students have to pay 1600 yuan.  1.Do you think this is a good idea to help the poorer students?  2.Give at least two reasons to support you argument.  3.Give some suggestions as to how to solve the problem.

    正确答案:
    It Isn't a Good Idea for Poor Students To Live Separately Housing expenses are a financial burden for poor students, and reducing the housing cost does help those who are poor. However, I don't think letting poor students live separately in specially built houses is a good solution to the problem.
    Being poor doesn't mean being inferior, nor does it mean they should be treated differently. Poor students also need respect and equality. Living separately in specially built houses can save them 700 yuan a year, but may add to their depression because an inferior mark is placed on them. They may feel that they are different from other schoolmates and they may withdraw themselves into a circle of poor students. Even more seriously, they may develop a feeling of being discriminated against by their schoolmates, their university and the society, and may develop psychological problems.
    To solve the problem I think poor students should live together with other students. They can pay the housing fee with the money they earn from their part-time jobs. Student loans are another way to solve the problem. Universities can help poor students get loans from banks to aid the students in a respectful way.

    Who to Blame? Tobacco Companies or Smokers? Everyone knows that smoking can cause serious disease like cancer. But many people still smoke and ruin their health. Quite a few people attribute their addiction to the cigarette-producers, blaming them for making such harmful items and getting people to buy them.
    There have been a number of cases sued in courts against tobacco companies. All of this, I think, is just as ridiculous as a thief putting the blame for his burglary on the attractiveness of other people’s property.
    Smokers must know that it’s not the cigarette-producers who persuade them to smoke. It’s because the smokers are not strong-minded enough to resist temptation.
    The first cigarette you hold is lit by you. You puff away, enjoy it, and then get addicted. It’s true that some cigarette-producers advertise on various media to lure more people.
    But you have the ability to decide whether to buy or not. In addition, there is also warning, “Smoking is bad for your health” on the package.

    正确答案:

    Reading Selectively Or Extensively? Some people think that when we read we should read selectively. That is to say, we should select some books we are interested in and ignore others. Reading selectively can help us concentrate our limited time and attention on those selected books.
    Others think when we read we should read extensively. That is to say, no matter what kind of book it is, we should read it through. Reading extensively can help broaden our mind and grasp the general knowledge of various fields.
    As far as I am concerned, the two reading methods have their respective advantages and disadvantages. If we only read selectively, the framework of our knowledge may not be complete. If we read extensively, we may not have so much time and energy to specialize in a particular field. Therefore, the combination of the two methods sounds more reasonable.

    It Is a Good Idea for Poor Students to Live Separately Housing expense is a financial burden for poor students, and reducing the housing cost does help those who are poor. However, I don’t think letting poor students live separately in specially built houses is a good solution to the problem.
    Being poor doesn’t mean being inferior, nor does it mean they should be treated differently. Poor students also need respect and equality. Living separately in specially built houses can save them 700 yuan a year, but may add to their depression because an inferior label is placed on them. They may feel that they are different from other schoolmates and they may withdraw themselves into a circle of poor students. Even more seriously, they may develop a feeling of being discriminated against by their schoolmates, their university and the society, and may develop psychological problems.
    To solve the problem I think poor students should live together with other students. They can pay the housing fee with the money they earn from their part-time jobs. Student loan is another way to solve the problem. Universities can help poor students get loans from banks to aid the students in a respectful way.

    Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck? There are growing debates among general public about the issue that if lucky numbers can really bring good luck. Some think certain numbers may predict good luck. These numbers include “6, 8, 9” and so on.
    Therefore, when they want to choose a car number or a phone number, they are inclined to choose a number which ends with these lucky numbers.
    From my point of view, there is no relation between the so-called lucky numbers and luck. It is merely a superstitious belief. The only key to success or wealth lies in hard work. It is indeed a ridiculous thing to believe in those numbers and buy it at a higher price as phone number or license plate number. If we rely too much on it, we will tend to be lazy or easily discouraged when these numbers turned out to be fruitless. We should strive for the success by our own effort.

    Extra Training Courses Should Be Charged I think it is reasonable to ask extra charges for extra training courses. Because training courses are outside the teaching syllabus of the school, teachers have the right to charge extra for the extra work they do. Students are not forced to take the courses. If they choose to enjoy the service, they must pay for it, just like they pay for other services.
    It’s true that some college students have financial problems so they can’t afford the extra courses. But that shouldn’t be a reason for denying that teachers should be paid for the work they do. If teachers are willing, they can give up the right to charge. On the other hand, they can insist on this right.
    As to students who can’t afford the fee, they could exchange services with teachers. For example, they might baby-sit for a teacher. Most students hope to pass the examinations, and to get the certificates that will help them find jobs. In this sense, attending extra training classes is a vital investment in their future professions. How can one invest without paying? There is no free lunch anywhere.

    Original English Textbooks Are Good for Students I think it is good news that some universities use original English textbooks in their teaching of some specialized courses. It can bring great benefits to students. On the one hand, students can learn some up-to-date science and technology from these books. Nowadays science and technology develop very quickly. Sometimes when they are translated into Chinese, things have developed and changed greatly. On the other hand, by using original English textbooks, students can improve their English reading and listening comprehension ability. As a result, it will be easier for the students to pass their English exams. Of course, it may be a great challenge for some students who are poor in English at the beginning. However, through hard and long working their English will be improved quickly.
    Using English textbooks to teach is demanding for teachers. Because, as I know, nowadays very few teachers are able to teach in English. Many of them cannot express ideas in English, not to mention teach students. So teachers should improve their English first before they use original English text-books.
