Good afternoon，everyone.
Welcome to our school！ The topic I’m going to talk about is the choice between arts and science. As is known to all, students in China can’t study both arts and science. Therefore, a choice between them is bound to be made.
At the end of my first year in high school, I decided to study science rather than arts. And the reasons are as follows: The most important one is that I love science, which can show me the mysteries of nature and the universe. What’s more, I’m good at it. So, it is far easier for me to learn science than arts. Last but not least, I want to become a scientist in the future. It is science that will equip me with necessary abilities.
Now, years have passed, and my affection for science is much greater than before. I hold the view firmly that my choice is absolutely right.
Thanks!

Good afternoon，everyone.
Welcome to our school！ As for the topic, I’m glad to tell you my choice and the reasons. After taking everything into account, I chose science. The reason is that it was at my early age that I began to be crazy about science, for I thought it was so fantastic. I think interest is my best teacher. Besides, I enjoy the process of finding the answers about science. With many problems solved, I learn a lot. The more I know, the more I want to know and happier I am. I get motivated. Last but not least, I like doing experiments on my own. During the experiments, I found something exciting and knew something I hadn’t known. To tell the truth, I want to be a scientist in the future. From above, you can understand why I chose science.
Thanks!

You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim. Now you are telling him how you understand the picture and what makes you think so.

In the picture, there are two pencils. One is long, while the other is short. The longer one who looks very proud is laughing at the shouter one by saying “You are nearing the end!” However, the shorter one stays calm and doesn’t care about what he said. In our daily life, it is very common to see that people laugh at those who are in trouble. They don’t realize that they are likely to suffer from the same trouble one day.
In my opinion, we shouldn’t laugh at others, especially those in trouble. Instead, we should give them a hand. Only in this way, can we live in harmony with each other and make our society brighter and warmer.

From the picture, I can see the white pencil, who is a little longer, is laughing at the black one by saying “You’re nearing the end!” Hearing this, the black pencil says nothing and remains the same as before. As a matter of fact, the white pencil is too proud of himself. He has never thought that he will have the same experience in the end. Although the black pencil is nearing the end, he has led his life to the fullest and deserves respect.
In our real life, people should respect each other and try their best to make contributions to our society.

Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. I was appreciating the beautiful lake when a scene that didn’t go with its harmony came into my eyes. A couple were cheering loudly on a boat, letting out the noise disturbing all the visitors around. They even threw litter and spat into the water, completely ignoring the sign nearby “No throwing litter into the lake!”
How could they lack public morality so much? I felt sad about them. And I was totally against what they did.
Every individual should think about others’ feelings and avoid polluting the environment while they are enjoying the beautiful scenery; otherwise the Fairy Lake Park would not be fairy at all and lake might be a pool of dirty dead water some day. Therefore we should mind our behavior in public places so that the environment in public places will be more and more beautiful.

Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The water is clean and clear and we can even see fishes swimming freely in it. Beside the lake there was a sign which read “Don’t throw water into the lake!” However, a couple ignored it completely, throwing waste into the lake, while saying loudly “How beautiful the scenery is!”
Seeing this, I was sad and angry. How should they do things like that? Now, some people don’t mind their own behavior in public places. They speak loudly regardless of others’ feelings surrounding them and even pollute the environment at random.
To make our society more harmonious, I appeal to the whole society to mind our own behavior in public places and small good things in our daily life which surely make a big difference to our world.

I guess that was the turning point of my attitude towards it. Gradually my interest in it began to grow. Thanks to your encouragement，I made continuous progress in math, and finally made up my mind to study it in the university. Today I am working as an accountant at Valley Medical Center in California. You played an important part. Thank you！”

From the text, we know that one day the author’s retired husband received a letter from a schoolgirl from America, which expressed her thanks for helping her study math well.
I thoroughly agree with what teachers said has great influence on the students, which reminds me of my history teacher Mr. Liu. When I entered the juniou high school, I found that the discipline of history was very boring. However, our history teacher always, with great interest, gave us some talks about some historical stories and events. He always said histories can make men wise. Gradually I attentively listened to what the teachers taught in class. As a result, I developed a strong interest in history. Every time we had a history exam, I took it seriously. I ultimately got Mr. Liu’s praise and admiration. And now I try my best to study liberal arts well to realize my dream.
In summary, a teacher’s words and deeds are likely to change a student’s life.

The author’s husband retired from a middle school many years ago. One day he got a former schoolgirl’s letter from America, which expressed her thanks for helping her study math well.
What the schoolgirl did obviously shows that the author’s husband’s devotion has great influence on her, which reminds me of my math teacher Mr. Song. During my senior high school days, I did not often get good marks for math, but Mr. Song never scolded me. Instead, he always asked me to raise questions whenever I needed help. In particular, he was very patient though sometimes I had no way to solve some difficult math problems. Every time my mother was worried about my studies, he would smile and say, “Your boy is a good student with great potential. So long as he keeps on hard-working, he is certain to get success in the future.” And under his considerate help, I successfully got high marks for the national college entrance examination.
I love Mr. Song for great personality, and I strongly believe that what teachers show to us students can affect our wonderful future greatly.

In our daily life, we can experience various kinds of things, including good ones as well as bad ones. If we are optimistic about our life, we can still benefit from the bad things.
Five years ago, I went to have a piano test. Unfortunately, the teacher who was to carry out the test was a very strict man. Seeing that many students had failed in the rest, I felt very nervous and didn’t know whether I could pass it or not. After a while, my name was called. I suddenly realized that this was a very precious chance to test my real performing skills and I might as well make full use of it to show my ability. Much to my surprise, the teacher was very satisfied with my performance and gave me a high mark.
Through this experience, I understand no matter what we face, we should try our best to deal with it with positive attitude. As long as we believe ourselves, we’re sure to succeed in the end.

As we all know, our life is full of challenges as well as opportunities. Every one of us expects to be successful and deserve others’ respect. In my opinion, the key to success is that we should manage to make the most of what we’ve already had.
When I was a child, I am fond of making things by hand. At one time, I took part in a hand-made activity in our school. I wanted to make a model house as I usually did, but suddenly I found the materials that I had weren’t enough. Faced with such a situation, I really wanted to give up. However, after a second thought, I thought of an idea to divide some of the materials into small parts and I finally succeeded in making a special model plane. To my great joy, I was given the first prize because of my creativity.
After that, I understand whenever we face trouble, it is no use complaining. We should try our best to make use of what we have already had to solve problems.

You may not have the experience of finding something unexpectedly, but you must have lost something carelessly which may give you a big surprise or even drive you crazy. And I am gong to share an experience with you. Honestly speaking, it gave me a surprise and even a panic.
It was on the Saturday morning when I took my Chinese examination for the NMET. The moment I came back home, my mom reminded me to put the ID card away. But, when I reached for it in my schoolbag, I found it was gone. I got into such a great panic that I even felt that my heart almost skipped a beat. So the search began. We searched the whole way—the school and the hospital. Exhausted and desperate, mom and I finally gave up. But guess what? I found it just in my pocket when I got home. What a big surprise.
Even now, I can well remember the sadness and tiredness that day. And the special experience gave me a lesson that he who is careless will pay for the carelessness.
满分作文2
During our daily life many people may have such an experience of losing something that is important but finding it later and so do I.
One day, I was about to go into the cinema when I found my ticket gone. How I regretted losing my ticket because I had looked forward to the film for a long time. I was cast down. As a result, I had no choice but to return home. The moment I turned back, I heard someone calling to me, so I stopped and saw a boy holding a ticket in his hand, which was unbelievable.
From the experience, I understand that even if our society may not be perfect as we imagine, there still exist honesty and kindness. Sometimes, just because we are too careless, we don’t find them. Therefore, we should believe our society is full of honesty and kindness just like sunshine in our hearts.
