话题一：心态哲理话题
这类话题包括什么是幸福、生命的意义、梦想的重要性之类的。考的内容都跟人的成长、成功的心态、价值观、优秀的素质相关。
Directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled the way to success by commenting on abraham lincoln’s famous remark, “give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
The way to success
“give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Abraham Lincoln once said. Although four hours seem to be quite a long time, it can help people chop down the tree more smoothly and less laboriously in the rest two hours. It is obvious that a full preparation enhance the efficiency of trees-chopping.
The saying aims at informing us of the significance of adequate preparation. Definitely, we can’t emphasize the importance of full preparation too much in our pursuit of success. A full preparation enables us to achieve our objectives and realize our dream more smoothly and rapidly. The more preparation we make, the more likely we are to become confidence, reduce the risks of failure and seize the fleeting opportunities. For example, when graduates hunt for jobs, it is those who are well prepared that can surpass other candidates and get the offer finally.
Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the power of preparation. Besides, we need to set up a proper goal, carry out a full investigation and elaborate a detailed plan before we take actions. “preparation breeds success.” Benjamin Franklin also once said.

Directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
As a thought-provoking saying goes, “the greatest use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.” We learn from the saying that, life is short and limited, to make the best use of our life we need to spend it on something which are meaningful and will last long.
Numerous examples can be found in history, just take a famous historian Chen Yinque as a case in point: he led an unfortunate and turbulent life. He even lost sight in one eye in his later years. However, he kept on compiling historical materials and composing works. His life was short, but he left precious and everlasting intellectual treasure for us. Example also exists in reality. Some scientists devote their whole life in the enterprise of scientific inquiry. They are not rich and their life is boring, they are little known and few people know their contribution. However, when life ends, their achievement in scientific research will constantly benefit mankind and will never be forgotten by people!
Obviously, to make full use of our life, we should do something meaning. For my part, I would, firstly, spend my time on study, mastering necessary knowledge and skills. Moreover, I will set up lofty goals and expect to make great contribution to mankind and society.
话题二：青少年问题
偶像崇拜、独立性缺失
From the picture given above, we can observe that there are two young men using different ways to show admiration towards their role model. By writing “Beckham” on his face, the man on the left picture expresses his intense enthusiasm for Beckham. Meanwhile, to make himself resemble his idol, the man on the right picture spends 300RMB making a Beckham’s hairstyle.
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that many adolescents admire their role models in an excessive and blind way. Quite a few reasons can account for this: for one thing, with the mass media spreading the positive image of superstars, young people can hardly resist the charm of them. They regard superstars as their examples and desire to be people like them. For another, youngsters’s craze for superstars can also be attributed to the influence of the force of “group dynamics”: when members of their social networks show great enthusiasm for some idols, young people are so easily influenced by their friends or classmates and then imitate the behavior they see. This could be a subtle form peer pressure.
We cannot draw an absolute conclusion whether idol-worship is good or bad. Simply imitating role model’s dresses or behaviors, youngsters may lose themselves and it will definitely interfere with their personal life or studies. However, when learning idols’ diligence, spirit and ambitions, young people can transform their worship towards idols into the passion for life, the stimulus to success and the driving force of struggling. Hence, whether idol worship is positive or negative is up to youngsters themselves.
话题三：家庭与两代关系
包括代沟、对孩子过分保护、过分溺爱、只关心下一代忽略老人。
As can be seen from the picture, the department in a store which sells nutritive products for children is surrounded by crowds of parents, making the scalespeople extremely busy. In contrast, the neighboring department that sells similar products for the elderly seems rather deserted by customers. Its saleswoman feels so bored that she can not resist falling asleep.
The picture mirrors a common social phenomenon from a unique angle—people tend to care more for the next generation than the previous one. On the one hand, young couples dote on children, most of whom are the “only children”. Parents endeavor to prepare their kids for a bright future by raising them healthily. On the other hand, young couples fail to spend time with their old parents, and some of them are even too mean to provide the old with at least a decent living environment.
I think such a trend is quite abnormal and distressing. Filial duty used to be the most highly prized virture among the Chinese for over two thousand years.
