About Examination
I don't remember how many examinations I've taken since I began my schooling. To tell the truth， I don't like examinations at all. I dare say that， in fact， no student likes examinations.
We often hear people say “Examinations are teachers' magic weapon”， so most of us may think it is our teachers who give us students so many examinations. But I don't think so. Almost all of them have once been students before they became teachers. We don't like examinations， and neither do our teachers， which may be reasonably concluded. What's more， the more examinations we take， the more time will be taken from our teachers and the more trouble our teachers have to take.
It is the system in our country， I think， that gives us students so many examinations. If there were no entrance examinations， and all the students could go up to the higher grades without competition， there would not be so many examinations in primary and middle schools. So it is important and necessary to reform the test system. Only in this way can examinations be greatly reduced， and then all the students will be happier.
议论文的写作
议论文的三要素
论点，论据和论证是议论文的三要素，论点是作者对所论问题所持的见解和主张；论据是用来证明论点的事实和道理的根据；论证就是用论据来证明论点的方法和过程。一般来说，议论文每段应有主题句（topic sentence）来确定论点。文章结尾往往提出自己的看法、意见或建议，表示对某一现象或论点的赞成或反对。论证有立论和驳论两种，作者证明自己的论点正确，是立论；反之，证明别人的论点错误，是驳论。
议论文的注意事项
1. 论点要鲜明，不可含糊其辞；论据要充分，要能充分证明观点的命题性，论据过程要条理清晰。
2. 文章安排逻辑性要强，推理要严密。
3. 重在说理，以理服人。
4. 主要使用现在时态。
5. 中学英语书面表达所要求的议论文，是一种限定性的写作，其论点、论据和论证都比较明确，有的文章提出问题，如：……为什么？/……怎么办？/……该采取什么措施？考生可以结合题目要求阐述相关的观点，切忌随意发挥。

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether we should know our parents’ income.
We have different opinions on this matter. Most of us（about 70%）think we should know our parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work , no matter how much they earn. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.
About 30% of my classmates think it unnecessary to let the children know how much their parents earn, If they know their parents have enough money to support the family , they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said, especially when their parents have a relatively high income ,the children will easily form a wasteful habit.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

11 No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. On one hand， advertising greatly promotes sales. On the other hand， in their efforts to tell people about products and events， advertisers provide us with great amount of the latest information. Radio， television and computer have made it possible for advertisers to attract the attention of millons of people. Therefore， it has become part of our daily life. Meanwhile， to make an advertisement， a lot of people will work together on it. So with the development of advertising a lot of jobs are being provided.
Advertising is an important business.
12 Manners are important to happy relations among people. No one likes a person with bad manners. A person with good manners never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead， he tries to offer help. When he asks for something， he says “please” and when he receives something， he always says “thanks”。 He does not interrupt other people when they are talking. He does not talk loudly or laugh loudly in public. When he sneezes or spits， he uses a handkerchief. As a sutdent， it is a bad manner to come late to class. If you are late you should say “I'm sorry.” to the teacher at the time or after class.
13 Nowadays it is not unusual for many students to find part-time jobs. During the past winter holiday， I worked as a waiter at a McDonald.
I used to keep on asking my parents for money. It is the first time that I've earned money， so I was quite excited. Now I can buy whatever I need without asking others for money. From my working experience， I found it's a great preparation for the world outside schools. I understood not only the value of money but also the way of getting along with others. What's more， I have got some working and social experience. It's good for my future work. In a word， I've had a wonderful vacation.
14 Sports keep us fit land fresh. Everybody likes to do one kind or another. But not all people know how to do them correctly and sometimes the advice we got may be wrong.
I'm lucky， for since my first day at school I have always had a good teacher of physical education. I have always been very strong.
I go swimming almost every day all the year round， of course I like many other sports too. I am thinking of taking part in a few items at the school sports meeting this autumn.
15 Why Are Many Animals Dying out？
There are many reasons for animals dying out， but the most important one is the part that humans have played. First， many animals have been killed for food. Second， many of the places where animals used to live have been destroyed. Wet land has been turned into field. More and more trees in the forests have been cut down， but few trees are planted. Much land has either been changed into agricultural land or used for building factories and houses. Polluted rivers and lakes have also been a cause of death of some of the animals.
16 If You Want to Be Strong and Healthy
If you want to be strong and healthy， you must pay attention to the following. First， you should get enough sleep， and do morning exercises every day. Have meals at regular time and do not hurry when you eat. Remember to sit straight when you read and write. Breathe in as much fresh air as you can. When you come home from school， go out into the open air and play for an hour or so. Keep your body clean. Have a cold shower every morning. Wash your hands before meals.
If you do all these above， you will be strong and healthy.
17 Trees Are Important to Use
Trees are very useful to people. They provide us with wood and other products. They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately， in many parts of our country， people haven't realized the importance of trees. They cut them down at will. They are usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. As a result， the forests continue to disappear.
Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface， causing floods， and carries away with the rich topsoil， in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone， nothing remains but worthless deserted.
The big floods of 1998， in parts of China， have already taught us a good lesson. So every one of us must love trees， protect forests， and keep on planting trees each year.
18 Smoking and Health
Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit all over the world. It was reported recently that smokers make up one quarter of the world population， while in China， 33.9 precent above the age of 15 are smokers. It's a very serious problem because not only the old， the youth， but also middle school students and girls have been engaged in smoking.
Many heavy smokers say they cannot leave off， although they know smoking is harmful to their health and they have tried again and again to stop.
Scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves， but also a threat to public health， especially to women and children. The poisonous gas from smoking is one of the major causes of many kinds of diseases. Therefore， many countries have worked out laws forbidding smokers to smoke in public places such as cinemas， hospitals and stations.
19 How to Reduce the City Present Population？
Our modern city is too crowded， and to solve the problem， three proposals are put forward. Most people believe that we should fist practise the policy “Late Marriage” and “One Couple， One Child” in order to reduce the birth rate. Secondly， the city government must have a tight control over rural people entering cities to engage themselves in trade or do various physical jobs so as to lessen the pressure on the city caused by the increased population. Finally more and more people suggest that living blocks with shopping centers， schools， hospitals as well as cinemas and theatres round them or even satellite towns should be built in city suburbs or the countryside round the cities. In this way city citizens will be encouraged to move there to live and work. If these three proposals are well carried out， the city population will be greatly reduced.
20 Most students of our school， including me， think it is not right to build a chemical works near our school. Although the works will make a lot of money for our city， we do think it will do us more harm than good. The drinking water will be badly polluted. Of course， they have promised to do something to prevent the water from being polluted. But it is far from enough. On the other hand， the air over the city will be polluted， too. We'll never be able to breathe the fresh air. How can we live here any longer？ What's more， the site of the chemical works has been the only place where we students play games and have sports after school. If it is occupied， we will have no place to play in.
21
Do “Lucky Numbers” Really Bring Good Luck？
Some people think certain numbers may bring good luck. These numbers include “6”， “8”， “9” and so on. Therefore， when they want to choose a car number or a phone number， they buy the number which ends with these lucky numbers at a higher price.
In my opinion， there are no relations between the so-called lucky numbers and luck. The only key to success on wealth lies in hard work. If we are too dependent on it， we may become lazy or easily discouraged when these numbers proved to be useless. We should believe in our own efforts to struggle for the success.

The Chinese Government has decided to quicken the development of the western region. In recent years， the eastern region of China has been developing rapidly since its reform and opening up to the outside world. But the western region remains undeveloped. China is a large country with 56 nationalities. We must quicken the progress of China as a whole to realize the modernizations. Although the western region is rich in resourses， yet it is short of water. With its development we must keep the balance of nature. Only by relying on science and technology， can we develop the western part of our country soundly.
