Travel Broadens the Mind
Nowadays more and more people choose to travel during their holidays, since travel not only
brings leisure and joy but also broadens the mind. As for me, not only can it bring me more historical
knowledge, but it can also add to my social experience.
Take my trip to Mount Tai for example. As is known to all, it’s a magnificent mountain famous
for both the beautiful scenery and the splendid cultural heritage. At the very sight of her, my soul was
attached to her. I remembered the poem “Wang Yue” written by Du Fu, I remembered many historic
events which happened on this land and I also recalled the responsibility to conserve this heritage. As
I climbed up the mountain, our guide told me many things I had never got to know before, which of
course broadened my scope of knowledge. It was also on this trip that I made many new friends with
whom I exchanged my opinions, and that I got acquainted with some information about first aid and
package tour. All this indeed added to my social experience.
In short, travel offers a good chance for me to open my eyes and enrich my experience while I can
enjoy myself. It broadens the mind in a relaxing way.

The Best Way to Stay Healthy
Nowadays, the desire for good health is universal. Wherever you are and whatever you do,
staying healthy is always important. Different people come up with different views. As far as I am
concerned, the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology.
To begin with, keeping a good quality of psychology can reduce the pains. According to some
surveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally ill. The burden on their
shoulders is much heavier than others. So they can’t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness.
They need to release their spirit to the nature. Besides, if you have developed a good quality of
psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the society.
Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various
versions of physical exercise, will benefit you a lot. As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s
a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because youth is a symbol for endless energy
and passion for living.
Keeping a good quality of mind and keeping a sense of humor are really good. Even if you are 80,
you’ll never be old.

The Importance of Keeping a Good Mood
With the development of modern science, technology and economics, our living standard has
reached an ever higher level. But more and more people are living under greater pressure than ever
before. As a consequence, people are increasingly suffering from various distortions both physically
and mentally. To help out, it is important that everyone keep a good mood today.
There are several reasons for my argument. First, a good mood can create high efficiency. When
you work with a good mood, you will feel happy and be willing to do some work which used to be
boring. On the contrary, a bad mood can make you passive and do things with reluctance. Second, a
good mood is beneficial to your health. If you fail to keep a good mood, ou will be feeling depressed
and fed up, which is apt to cause some psychological diseases. Third, when you have a good mood,
other people around you will be influenced. Thus more and more people will feel happy to
communicate with you.
To sum up, keeping a good mood is very important both for yourself and for the people around
you. If you want to have a happy and successful life, please keep a good mood every day.

Telephone is said to be one of the greatest inventions of the world, which has revolutionized
people’s way of life. Although more and more people nowadays tend to phone more than write letters,
I still don’t believe phones will kill letter writing in people’s daily communication.
People communicate for different purposes and in different ways. Letters, though traditional in a
way, help people express their ideas in a more exact way. Without the careless tongue slips of
telephone conversations. More importantly, it is long held that “To see is to believe.” and
communication in written form is considered to be more formal than that done orally. Therefore,
letters are always the preferred way of communication when it comes to formal occasions like job
application, nailing down a contract or traveling information confirmation. It is not entirely groundless
to say that letters are still indispensable nowadays.
In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certain communication purposes and will
therefore never be replaced by phones in people’s daily life. It’s perhaps more appropriate to say that
they supplement each other instead of replacing each other.

University arts festival has always been a big occasion to display students’ talent in art as
well as to cultivate their artistic taste. Therefore, to make the incoming arts festival more fruitful,
I personally think it should include two parts: one is to organize some art activities among
students such as singing, painting, photography, recitation or short play contests, and the other
is to invite all kinds of art troupes to campus to stage excellent performances of ballet, orchestra
or drama for our students.
As regards why university arts festival should be organized in this way, there are mainly two
reasons: to develop students’ artistic potential and to enhance their aesthetic ability. By
participating in art contests, students not only have a golden opportunity to show their special
gift for art but also undergo sort of training through preparation, rehearsal and competition. Thus
those activities encourage students to get involved in art activities and help bring out the best of
them in this aspect. Professional feast, which is not readily accessible to them in normal times.
Such an intimate contact with real art enables students to understand art better and appreciate
it properly, which will refine their artistic taste in the long run.
Since my idea of arts festival integrates training students’ artistic ability with improving
their aesthetic taste, I believe it will go a long way in art education, which is also the ultimate aim
of university arts festival.

Sample
(1)Recently the result of a survey conducted by a Beijing information company has shown
that the majority of Chinese students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest
prefer to use tomorrow’s money. (2) As is seen to me, the principle of “hard work and thrift” is
still at work in China, and I absolutely believe that we will profit more from saving money than
from spending tomorrow’s money.
(3) Through saving money, we’ll be better prepared for our life. (4) There is an old saying
that “a penny saved is a penny earned”. (5) In modern society, life is so changeable that we can’t
predict what will happen in the future. (6) So we’d better get prepared for unexpected
emergencies. (7) What’s more, psychologically speaking, saving money means controlling
money rather than being controlled by money, and it enables us to be freer and more
independent. (8) With the money we’ve saved, we don’t need to be too much concerned about
the old age or the monthly installment that we owe to the bank.
Of course I don’t mean that we cannot loan money to buy a house or for some enjoyment.
What I’m saying is that we must think twice before spending tomorrow’s money. (9) To put it in
a nutshell, I’m a great believer that saving money is a good habit.
Analysis
Part One: (1) 用一项调查 “a survey” 引入要讨论的问题。
(2)用 “As is seen to me…” 清楚地表明了自己的观点。 引用习语“hard work and thrift”使文章更
具说服力。
Part Two:
(3)具体分析和解释了选择“saving money”的原因。
(4)此处引用“A penny saved is a penny earned”恰到好处。
(5) (6)从社会变化难以预测说明节约用钱的必要性。
(7)“What’s more”表达递进关系,使阐述的理由更充分。
(8)阐述了节约用钱的好处。
Part Three: (13) “To put it in a nutshell”为语言亮点,意为“概括地说”。

for no financial rewards. (2)Needless to say, volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those
in need and the society. (3) Yet, despite the fact that volunteers are not paid for what they have
done, serving as a volunteer, I believe, is also beneficial to the volunteeers themselves.

people better and have better skills to motivate others and to deal with difficult situations. (4)In
collaboration with people of different personalities in their volunteering work.

volunteering to assist foreign guests on big occasion like Canton Fair (5) can not only practise their oral English, but also have first hand experience on the latest development of their field. Finally, volunteering satisfies one's psychological need for respect and self-fulfillment, and it gives the volunteer a sense of achievemen.

20xx年真题 The benefits of volunteering
The Benefits of Volunteering
Volunteering has grown into a fashion these years, with volunteers ranging from college students to white collar workers. It is reported now China has 4.5 million registered volunteers having provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Why would so many people like to do volunteer work? Are there any benefits of volunteering?
The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, through volunteering we can gain more experiences. Whatever volunteering work we do, either being a volunteer teacher for a village school or a volunteer worker in a retired house, we can taste different lifestyles and broaden our horizon.
Secondly, through volunteering we can acquire the sense of being needed. Many people feel frustrated with travails in life and empty with the cycling of working and resting. They gradually become numb, losing the sense of being needed. By joining the volunteer group and offering help voluntarily to people who need it, we may feel happy and fulfilled again.
Thirdly, through volunteering we can learn more good qualities. Volunteer work is team work, which needs good cooperation. We can know people with different personalities and different background joining in the volunteer group and devoting to the volunteer work together. From our co - volunteers we can absorb many good qualities that could help us be better persons.
In conclusion, volunteering is of great benefit in that we can gain more experiences, acquire the sense of being needed and learn more good qualities.

desserts. I will also be delighted to pick up our classmates. I'll call you to discuss more details of the party later. Good luck!
Yours sincerely,

Dear Clare,
I’m very sorry to tell you that I can’t attend your house-warming party this weekend. I have
to be away then in that I must take of my mother who is now in hospital. Next week I’ll probably
be free. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy every minute of the party to your heart’s content.
Yours,
Joan

Dear Professor,
I fell terribly sorry that I failed to keep our appointment yesterday. My mother was suddenly
taken ill. Since there was nobody at home except me, I had to take her to hospital. I was in such
a hurry that I forgot to call you. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. My mother is supposed to be
discharged from hospital next Thursday. So may we meet next Friday, 15 August, at 9:00 a.m.?
I promise I won’t break the appointment again.
Respectfully Yours,
Li Ming

Dear Jane,
You’ve been in low spirit for the whole day for your failure in the maths exam. And I’m very
concerned about you. You know we often have “those days” in our life and ups and downs are
unavoidable. It is useless “crying over the spilt milk” and the best thing right now for you is to
cheer up and get yourself prepared for the make-up exam. Smile and life will smile at you.
Yours,
Joy

(Dear) Jimmy,
Thank you so much for inviting me to join the University’s swimming club. I’m sorry that I
couldn't become one of your members because I have chosen to join the football club. You know,
I am crazy about playing football, so I wouldn’t have time to take part in your activities.
Thank you again for your invitation.
Yours,
William
