Harmfulness of Fake Commodities
In recent years, fake commodities dealing is a common phenomenon in the market. These fake commodities have done great harm to the consumers and the society.
Since the policy of reform was implemented, China’s economy has improved. A lot of people getting richer, and their living conditions are getting better. But still some of them are not satisfied. They 1
dream of getting rich overnight and living a heavenly life, which, of course, is impossible to achieve by fair means. So they risk breaking the law to produce the fake commodities.
Once these fake commodities enter the market, they will do immeasurable harm to the society. The direct victims are the consumers. As the quality of the fake commodities is always very poor, the consumers may suffer great losses. Certain fake commodities, such as food and medicine, will cause irreparable harm to the health and well-being of the consumers. Fake commodities also cut into the profits of the brand-name-owners. Since the fake ones are cheaper, people tend to be reluctant to buy the genuine ones.

Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery in university campus. During the May Day Holiday, National Day Holiday, summer and winter vacations, many University campuses become popular tourist sites.
Some people hold the idea that university campus should be open to tourists. In fact, there are many royal gardens and parks, all of them obviously better than the scenery in the Universities. Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children? That is because it is a dream goal for many Chinese parents and young ambitious students. Besides this, as more tourists come to visit universities, these universities can widen their influence as well and they can also make some profit from the tourism.
While others think differently. First, tourists' visit will disturb the normal teaching. They always get into teaching buildings, libraries and so on. They will make noise and throw rubbish everywhere. Second, some tourists trample grass to take photos, and sculpture on trees to leave words. These will affect the environment of the campus badly.
As far as I’m concerned, the university campus should not be open to the tourists. Although most of tourists visit with hope and respect, I think university campus is a holy place for study, not for tourism. So it should not be open to tourists.

How to Solve the Traffic Problems?
Sometimes we find there are really many problems in traffic system. We often see that traffic is becoming heavier and heavier, and the road accidents are increasing rapidly. Every day, there are quite a few people getting involved in the road accidents and some of them even lose their lives.
But how to solve the traffic problems? Step by step, firstly, we may widen main roads. If the main streets are widened, traffic jams will be decreased and it will be convenient for drivers. Secondly, we may open up more bus lines. If we open up more bus lines in downtown areas, citizens will have several choices for their destinations if they take buses. Finally, we can also build subways. Maybe at first glance we will invest a lot of money, but in the long run, building subways will not waste money and materials as widening roads and increasing bus lines do.
To solve the problem is not easy at all, but is worth trying. We should so something, such as building more overpasses, underpasses, gallop bridges to decrease the number of cars, trucks and bicycles in the main streets. At the same time, legislative measures should be introduced and pedestrians and drivers should be made to comply with traffic regulations. Those who break traffic regulations must be punished. Drunk driving should be strictly forbidden. I do believe everything will be better in the future.

Practice Makes Perfect
The famous saying “Practice makes perfect” is widely accepted today. It means if we practice unfamiliar
things again and again, we’ll be able to perform it perfectly.
The practice of learning English is a good example. We are not living in an English speaking country. So, in
order to learn it well, we need extra practice, such as reading English books, going to English corners, or
communicating with foreigners. Only sitting at the desk cannot lead to the mastery of English.
As another example, if we want to be skilled in using the computer, we also need to practice using it. Some
children become little experts in computer, just because they play with it everyday. On the contrary, if we just
stick to books, we will still feel confused when using computers.
Judging from the evidence offered, we might safely draw the conclusion that practice makes perfect.

A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus
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 round, 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.
These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of many other students. We hope our respectable president will
pay attention to our 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 respectfully,
Li Ming

An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident
My name is Li Ming. I am studying at college. A week ago I saw a traffic accident ,
which is still vivid in my mind.
It was at about 9:00 on Saturday morning, June 15th, when I went out of the university to visit a friend of mine at another university. I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk when I heard a loud crash of two vehicles just at the T-junction about 10 meters away. Two taxis crashed together. It was a traffic accident.
I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged. Both roofs were out of shape. One door of a car was knocked off and lying on the road. One driver was bleeding and another was shut in the taxi. Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car. One man was calling the traffic policeman station. A lot of cars were jammed on the road.
From the stopping tracks on the road, it is clear that the two taxis were driving too fast. But it is just one of the 7
reasons. In my opinion, the taxi drivers were eager to take more passengers and make a little more money. On the other hand, both drivers didn't show concern for one another. Both of them wanted to run in front of another. Therefore, the accident was inevitable. So we should let the drivers keep it in their mind that a little slower, a little safer. Taking care of other's lives means taking care of your own life.

Students Use of Computers
1 上图所示为19xx年、19xx年、20xx年某校大学生使用计算机的情况,请描述其变化。
2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因(可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说)。
3. 你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。
Students Use of Computers
As the bar chart shows, the average number of hours a student in a certain university spent on the computer per week increased dramatically during the years of 1990 to 2000. As early as 1990, a student only spent one hour on average on the computer each week. Then five years later, the number increased four times. Finally in the year 2000, an average student was sitting in front of computer screen for as many as twenty hours every week.
Several factors may contribute to the sharp increase in the amount of time employed in computer use. First, the computer has a variety of applications in many walks of life. Second, with the development of society, computer skills have become a must for employment. Finally, the gradually lowered price of computers makes it possible for the computers to find its way to the ordinary family. All these result in the boom of computer use. However, the computer use may also cause some problems. The computer, in my opinion, may be addictive, thus possibly exerting a negative impact on the physical as well as mental health of the students. To conclude, we still need take effective measures to make progress in student use of computers.

补充:1. 图表作文
Directions: study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should
1) describe the drawing,
2) interpret its implications, and
3) give your comments.
图中,一个中年男子端着一个盘子,盘子中有一个碗,一双筷子和一瓶补品。他的嘴里念念有词:“要活到22世纪还真得补一补!”他的脸像一杯白开水,舌头伸在嘴外,他的姿势更奇怪,双膝弯曲,身体前倾。
As is described in the picture, a middle aged man holds a plate with a bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and a jar of nourishment, murmuring “to live well up to the 22nd century, it is really helpful to build up good health with nourishments.” His face is as dull as dead water, his tongue is stuck out of his mouth and his posture is strange, knees bent, leaning forward.
This cartoon points out a serious problem which needs to be taken seriously: “What is a positive attitude towards nourishment?” Misconception prevails nowadays all over the world that nourishment can make the weak strong and the sick healthy. For those who believe in this kind of theory, such omnipotent nourishment is allcures. So they take this kind of magical nourishment excessively. However, this is far from the truth. Taking nourishment to ensure your health is nothing but an illusion. Moreover, a great amount of fake nourishment is flooded with in the markets, which will thus deteriorate your health after continual use.
From the analysis above we can easily draw a conclusion: a wish is a wish, no matter how sweet it is. A good wish, however, doesn’t mean a real life! In reality, life blooms with doing exercises and taking part in sports. Besides, proper diets are also a rewarded way to keep you fit and healthy. Give up the idea of “more nourishment and more health” and you will build a muscular body in the long run.
