    Practice 5Directions: China is now experiencing the largest mass migration of people, an estimated 230 million (2010), from the countryside to cities in history.

    【范文】
    How to Balance the Mass Migration in China Nowadays, a new problem appears when the largest mass migration of people is ongoing in China. Though both the cities and the migrant workers can benefit from this movement, it still leaves some problems for the countryside.
    To solve these problems, measures should be taken to seek for a balance. Firstly, the countryside needs to improve its environment of employment. Government should create more job opportunities. Better allowances and higher revenues for farmers will give them more hope in land cultivation.
    Secondly, the cities can give aid to the countryside in technology and investments to make countryside more attractive for people in the cities. Besides, it will also improve the economy of the villages and be beneficial to the goal of common prosperity.
    Lastly, education in the countryside needs to be improved. On the one hand, government can provide more access to regular education for children of migrant workers in the cities. On the other hand, schools in the countryside should arrange more teachers and better facilities to ensure proper education for village children.
    In a word, both the cities and the countryside should make efforts to achieve the balance in the mass migration.

    Practice 2Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Increasing numbers of people are virtually slaves to their schedules. We are not leading our lives, but merely following a dizzying timetable of duties, commitments and demands and options.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

    正确答案:
    【范文】
    Stop Being Slaves to Schedules It is often said that people who has no plan for their work will easily mess up their life. Therefore, to some extent, a schedule is important. But if we overdo it with a rigid schedule, there will also lay some disadvantages for our life.
    With a faster pace of social development, people have more work to do and more and more slaves to schedules show up. For these people, life is compared to a programmed computer. All they need to do is to do as the schedule. There will be little interest left and all the hours will become monotonous and dull. So, they are not working to live but living to work.
    Moreover, colorful life is the main source for personal creativity. If we fill our life up with a dizzying timetable of duties, commitments and demands and options, how do we develop our innovation spirit and inject new blood for the improvement of society? Actually, improper schedules may even kill our passions for work with a lower and lower efficiency. These reverse effects are not what we want when planning the schedules.
    In general, we need a flexible schedule in which emphasis is equally distributed both on work and personal life. So, if you feel arrested by your timetable, stop to give proper freedom to a more qualified life style.

    正确答案:
    【范文】
    It Pays to Be Honest Nowadays, some people hold the opinion that those honest people are fools whose ways of coping with the outside world cannot work. They believe that only those who stop at nothing to get what one wants can subsist and succeed in our society, which features severe competitions. However, in my opinion, no matter what we do, to be honest is the best policy for all of us. If we stick to the principle of honesty, we will benefit and achieve for sure a lot from it, which will promote us to succeed in the future.
    Honesty can help us win trust and respect from others, which no doubt will do good to us. In university, for example, to students, honesty is of great importance and of great value to their academic research or cooperation with their supervisors. To tell the truth, it requires a good deal of time and patience to do the research honestly. Nevertheless, we will learn a lot from our hard work and will feel fulfilled as well. At the same time, our efforts will be recognized by our supervisors. In this way our honesty will not only bring us improvement in studies, but also will lead to mutual trust and respect between students and supervisors.
    In conclusion, honesty is the best policy for all of us. Whatever we do we must uphold the principle of honesty, because it not only can win trust and respect from others for us, but also bring us more opportunities in the future.
