Double eleven: a curse or blessing?

November 11th is the untitled festival original for single people, but it gradually transforms into shopping carnival. It not only takes place in china,but also spreading other

countries. Especially countries alongside "the belt and road" have traded on that day, which is the consequence of Taobao's internationalization strategy.

As far as most of Chinese, dose this man-made festival, not for history or memory but for pure shopping, on earth bring benefits to the majority of Chinese consumers? From alibaba's official statement, each item on that day will have 50% off discount. A large number of Chinese consumers are crazy about the tempting discount and bargains. The desire for cheap products makes great contributions to trading volume of china, which is also corresponding with idea of economy's development depending on consuming.

Whereas logistics enterprises get into trouble, because

explosive increase in the amount of orders cannot be dealt with in time. Limited transportation resources cause

consumers to receive their own packages slowly. Take me for example: my package purchased on "double eleven" was sent until the seven days later. Accompanied by

discount price, the shopping experience may also decrease than usual even if we can buy goods in lower price.

From other perspectives, lower prices lead to irrational consumer behavior, for example: the majority of consumer will purchase unnecessary goods just for inexpensive prices. As a result, their spending is far more than their own budget, which goes against their initial purpose for saving money.

Instructions:要求你在30分钟内，根据下面所给的题目用英语写出一篇不少于80词的短文。 里面有部分文章内容重复，目的是为了告诉你一篇文章可以套用在多种场合。相同的文章，记忆时只记忆一篇即可。

?

Why I like learning English? Firstly, English is very useful. English is the most widely used language in the world. If we make a visit to foreign countries or do business with foreigners, we need communicate with them in English. Secondly, with China becoming stronger and stronger, we have more chances to go abroad. We can know the English-speaking countries much deeper if we know English. Both China and English-speaking countries have realized the importance of the culture exchanging. Above all, English is useful and important, we must master English. 为什么喜欢学英语

我为什么喜欢学英语呢？ 首先，英语有用。英语是世界上应用最广泛的语言。如果我们去国外旅游或者和外国人做生意，我们就需要用英语和他们交流。其次，随着中国越来越强大，我们有更多出国机会。如果我们懂英文，就可以更深刻地了解英语国家。中英文国家都已经意识到文化交流的重要性。总之，英语既实用又重要，我们必须学好英语。

2) About Self-study自学

As adult students in Shanghai TV University, self-study becomes very important. According to me, there are several pieces of tips of self-study. First, I always make a study plan in the beginning of a new semester. Second, preview every unit before the lesson. Third, try to finish the homework after class. Fourth, go over what I have learnt in class regularly at home. Without review, you will absolutely forget what you’ve learnt as quickly as possible. So reviewing is helpful in understanding and memorizing what you’ve learnt.

关于自学

作为上海电大的成人学生，自学很重要。对我来讲，我有下列自学方法。第一，我总是在学期初制定好学习计划。第二，课前预习每个单元。第三，课后完成作业。第四，定期在家里复习所学过的知识。不复习，你绝对会很快忘记学过的知识。所以，复习在理解和记忆所学知识方面很有帮助。

English is always my favorite subject and I am good at English. I would like to share 4 good studying habits with you. First, remember 20 new words, and never give up. Second, go over grammar points I have learnt in English class regularly. Third, read an English article in China Daily every day. Fourth, write an English composition every week and ask teacher to revise that for me to improve the writing level. If you do things above, I am sure your English will also be improved.

我的英语学习

英语是我最喜欢的科目，而且我英语比较好。我想和你分享四条好的学习习惯。第一，每 1

天记忆20个生单词，永远坚持。第二，复习定期在英语课上学到的语法点。第三，每天坚持阅读中国日报的一篇文章。第四，每周写一篇英语作文，请老师批改以提高写作水平。如果你做到了以上几点，我相信你的英文一定会有所提高的。

4) How to Overcome Difficulties in My English Studies如何克服英语学习困难

I have made a lot of improvements in English. The following is my way to overcome the difficulties. Everyday, I do half an hour’s morning reading to try to pronounce every word out. And I will then spend half an hour listening to English radios like BBC to correct my pronunciation. Because I have trouble in English grammar, I attend a full-time English class of STVU to study grammar. The teacher recommends me to buy a grammar book—《Advanced English Grammar》. It helps me with my English study a lot. These above are what I have done to overcome my difficulties.

如何克服英语学习的困难

我在英语上进步很大。以下是我克服困难的方法。每天，我做半小时的朗读。然后花半小时时间听英语广播如BBC去纠正发音。因为我英语语法有困难，所以我参加了电视大学全日制班来学习语法。老师推荐我买一本语法书“高级英语语法”。这本书对我的英语学习帮助很大。以上就是我如何克服英语学习中的困难的一些方法。

A new semester is coming, in order to study English well, I make a study plan. First, try to remember 20 words from dictionary everyday. Second, go over grammar points I have learnt in English class regularly. Third, form a habit of reading an English article in China Daily every day. Fourth, write an English composition every week and ask teacher to revise that for me to improve the writing level. Fifth, listen to English radio as often as possible to improve my listening. 我的学习计划

新学习开始了，为了学好英语，我制定了一个学习计划。第一，每天记忆词典中的２０个单词，第二，复习定期在英语课上学到的语法点。第三，每天坚持阅读中国日报的一篇文章。第四，尽量多听英语广播以提高听力。

Since I am now working in an American company where I have to use English every day, I began studying English in Shanghai TV University this summer. But it’s really very hard. First, I can’t remember a lot of words. Second, I am weak in grammar. Third, my listening is very poor. Fourth, I can not speak English very well. In order to overcome my difficulties, I make a study plan in the beginning of a new semester. I hope I can study my English well.

英语学习的困难

因为我现在在一家美国公司工作，每天都要用英语，因此，今年夏天我开始在上海电视大学学习英语。但是，学习的确很艰难，首先，我记不住单词；第二，我的语法很弱；第三，我的听力不好；第四，英语口语表达也很难。为了克服这些困难，在新学期我制定了学习计划，我希望我能把英语学好。

Spring festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. Many people will prepare many things for the spring festival. Now this is my plan for the spring festival. The first, I will visit my friends and my relatives. The second, I will make a big snow man with my daughter and my wife. The third, I will stay with my parents, because I have no more time to stay with them at peacetime. This is my plan for the spring festival.

“New Year” is a time for good cheer. In China men and women, boys and girls, all look forward to a happy year. It is time for rest and refreshment. Business is suspended for a time. Young fellows lay aside their school work and give themselves up to merriment and joy. Each family has its members together for reunion. Friends call on one another. Public places are filled with all kinds of cheerful people. Children with lucky money in their new clothes have a 6

delightful time playing games. The Chinese New Year lasts about a fortnight. It gives sufficient recreation to people.

1) The Job I Like 喜欢的工作/My ideal job 理想的工作

I like to be a teacher. Three reasons have led me to choose this occupation. First, teaching is learning. To make my lectures more constructive and stimulating, I have to read more books, explore new knowledge and gain a better understanding of the world, which is the very thing I enjoy in my life. Second, teaching means freedom and independence. As a teacher, I’m free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions. Finally, I like teaching because it offers certain peace of mind. All in all, the reasons above make me like teaching best.

我喜欢的工作

我喜欢做教师，三个理由导致我选择该职业。首先，教就是学，为了让我的课更加有指导性，更加生动，我得多读书去探索新知识，更好的认知世界，这些都是我生活中喜欢做的。 其次，教意味着自由和独立。作为老师，我可以自由思想，自由决策。最后，我喜欢教书是因为教书我可让我心灵平和。总之，以上理由让教书成为我的最爱。

The News Report has always been my favorite TV program. The News Report contains a large amount of information ranging from the international political situation to the latest football game. And the most important character is its fast pace. Because of this fast pace, news programs can contain much information in a short time. In my opinion, the News Report is more than a TV program. It is a way of communication. From this program, people can know and understand world affairs. I especially appreciate this benefit of watching the news.

我最喜欢的电视节目

新闻报道一直是我最喜爱的电视节目。它包含大量的信息，从国际政治形势到最近的足球比赛。最重要的特点是它的快节奏。因为这样的快节奏，新闻节目可以在短时间内涵盖大量信息。依我看来，新闻报道不仅仅是一个电视节目，它也是一种交流方式。通过这个节目，人们可以知道并了解世界大事。我特别喜欢看新闻带来的益处。

My favorite book is “Dream of The Red Chamber”. The book tries to tell us that there are different kinds of love, only one kind which should be considered as True Love. In our life, we should marry the true love instead of wealth and good looks. From this book, we also get to know a part of the noble people’s life in Qing Dynasty and find some life philosophies from it. So this book is very instructive to people. We should learn more from this book as well as other books. 最爱的书

8

我最爱的书是《红楼梦》。这本书试图告诉我们，有许多种不同的爱，但只有一种才是真爱。在我们的生活中，我们应该和真爱结婚而不是和有钱的或是长得好的人结婚。从这本书中，我们也可以了解到清朝贵族的一部分生活并从中找到一些生活哲学。所以这本书对人很有指导意义。我们应该从中学到更多，就像从其他书中一样。

I like many different kinds of foods, among them, egg is my favorite. Egg contains a lot of essential nutrients needed by the human body. Eggs are oval shaped spheres with a light brown color. Egg is the basic ingredient to many dishes, like omelet and French toast. You can easily get eggs at any supermarket, and they are sold for a very cheap price too. Besides the cheap price, egg contains lots of nutrients and is a very good source of energy. In conclusion, egg is my favorite food.

我最爱的食物

我喜欢许多种不同的食物，在这其中，鸡蛋是我的最爱。它含有很多人体所需的必要营养。鸡蛋是浅褐色的椭圆球状体。它是许多菜的基本配料，像煎蛋卷、和法国土司。在任何超市里都可以轻易地买到鸡蛋，价格也很便宜。除了便宜的价格，鸡蛋有很多营养，也是非常好的能量源。总之，鸡蛋是我的最爱。

I have many hobbies, such as sports, singing, playing the violin and keeping a diary. I like sports very much. I go running at five o'clock in the morning. After classes in the afternoon, I play table-tennis with my friends. These sports have kept me healthy. At home, I like to sing and play the violin. I practice singing and playing the violin every day. Busy as I am, I am quite happy. Of all my hobbies I like reading books best. In my bedroom there are nearly six hundred books. There are story books, textbooks, magazines, and others. All these books have enriched my knowledge.

我的爱好

我有许多爱好，例如运动、唱歌、拉小提琴和写日记。我非常喜欢运动。我每天早上五点去跑步。下午上完课后，我和朋友们一起打网球。这些运动使我保持健康。在家我喜欢唱歌和拉小提琴。我每天练习唱歌和拉小提琴。在忙得同时，我也很快乐。在所有爱好中，我最喜欢读书。在我卧室里有将近600本书。有故事书、教科书、杂志和其他的书。所有这些书都丰富了我的知识。

My favorite piece of music is “For Elise”. There are a few reasons as follows. First of all, it is made by great musician “Betoven”. I like him very much, so I like his music. Secondly, the music is very beautiful and soft. It showed his love to Elise. Thirdly, it is helpful to make you happy when you are listening to this piece of music. When I am very sad, I will listen to it. So, it’s my favorite piece of music.

我最爱的音乐

我最该的音乐是“致爱丽丝”。有以下几个原因。首先，这首曲子是著名音乐家贝多芬创作的。因为我喜欢贝多芬，所以我喜欢他的音乐。第二，该音乐柔美悦耳，曲子表达了贝多芬对爱丽丝的爱意。第三，当你听该曲子的时候，它可以让你开心起来。每当我很伤心时，我就会听这曲子。所以这是我最爱的音乐。

7）My favorite season我最爱的季节

There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. Among the four seasons, I like spring best. Why so? Firstly, it’s neither cold nor hot in spring. It is getting warmer and warmer, so I like the weather in spring best. Secondly, many plants will turn green and come back to life in spring, so spring stands for hopes. Thirdly, we can go swimming in the river. All in all, I can do so many things in spring, so spring is my favorite season.

我最爱的季节

我最爱的季节是春天，为什么呢？第一，春天既不冷也不热，而是渐渐变暖。所以我最喜欢春天的天气。第二，许多植物春天都会颜色变绿，重新复苏，所以，春天代表着希望。第三，我们可以到河里游泳。总之，春天我可以做许多事情，所以春天是我最爱的季节。

workmate（我最好的同事）/ My best (close) friend 最好的朋友/ My classmates 同学/ My (favorite) teacher

我最爱的人

我父（母）亲是我的最爱。Lisa/John是我最好的同事/朋友/同学/老师。

为什么呢？ 首先从我小时候，我就认定他是世界上最好的人。他悉心照顾我。第二，他是公司的骨干。他工作出色，乐于助人，我为他骄傲。第三，他学习刻苦。父亲是个好学生，他总认为“活到老学到老。”所以他和我一起报读电大英语，而他考试总拿第一名。我非常崇拜他。

My favorite form of entertainment is watching TV. There are several reasons. First, it makes us informed of daily news, and lets us know the outside world. Second, it can provide lessons for learners. Third, it has brought joy and interest into people’s lives. It makes our life colorful. At last, it is the best way of getting relaxed after a busy day’s work.

我最爱的娱乐形式

我最爱的娱乐形式是看电视。有这样几个原因。第一，电视让我们了解每日新闻，了解外部世界。第二，电视可以给学习者提供课程学习的机会。第三，电视给人们的生活带来了快乐和兴趣。让我们的生活丰富多彩。最后电视是人们忙碌工作一天后最佳的放松方式。

Just as lots of teenagers take to pop music, I love basketball most. It’s part of my life. I began 10

to play basketball in my childhood. I love this sport because it brings joys and health to my life. When I got tired from office work, I went to the sports ground and felt refreshed. If there were worries and cares from daily life, I went to the sports ground. There everything went away except basketball. It is basketball that keeps me in good shape and mood.

运动

如许多人喜欢流行音乐一样，我最爱篮球。它是我生活的一部分。童年时我开始打篮球。我仍然记得过去下课后和同学一起打球的美好时光。后来，随着我慢慢长大，几乎一切都变了。但是打篮球以及我对篮球的爱却变得越来越强烈。

我爱篮球因为它带我我健康快乐。当我厌烦了工作，去操场打篮球让我精神振作。如果日常生活中有焦虑，我也会去球场。什么都可以流逝除了篮球。因为是篮球让我身体健康，心情舒畅。

Dear Wang Hong:

How is everything getting along with you? It is almost one year since we graduated from university. I miss you very much. What have you been doing all these days?

五一聚会

07年4月15日

亲爱的王洪，

近况如何？ 我们大学毕业快一年了。十分想念你。近些日子，你在忙什么呢？

毕业后我在家乡做了一名中学老师，教书一直让我很忙碌，但你知道，我喜欢学生，热爱教育事业。所以我这一切都好。今年五一节，在我学校要召开一个老同学聚会。

你是我最好的朋友。我永远都忘不了曾经共度的美好时光。我希望届时如果你有空，能来我校参加聚会。

盼回复

你的永远的

I have a dream from the first time I sit in a car—I want to drive. Driving is the most meaningful way to meet human being’s desire of “faster”. What’s more, driving a car can take me to any place I want whether it rains, snows, blows or not. A smooth ride in a good car is enjoyable. With rows of trees moving backward rapidly, music played, breeze blowing, my soul flies in the air. I love this feeling very much.

我的梦想

从第一次坐车开始，我就有了一个想驾车的梦想。驾驶室能满足人类想要“快跑”的愿望及最有意义的途径。还有，无论下雨、下雪、还是刮风，驾着车我可以去任何我想去的地方。稳稳地驾着一辆好车是一种享受。成排的树快速地向后倒退，放着音乐，微风吹着，我的灵魂已飞到了天上。我非常喜欢这种感觉。

I dream to have a house in Shanghai. My dream house should be very big. There should be three bedrooms in the house, because I would like to live with my parents. I would like my parents live in a bedroom, my wife and I live in another bedroom and my son live in the third room. There should be a big kitchen. I like eating very much. With a big kitchen, I can cook many good foods 13

to eat and enjoy my life in Shanghai.

我理想的房子

我梦想在上海有一套房子。我理想中的房子应该面积很大。房子里应该有三个卧室，因为我愿意和父母生活在一起。我希望我父母住一简卧室，我妻子和我住一间，我儿子住第三间。还应该有一个大大的厨房。因为我很喜欢吃。有了大厨房，我可以做各种美食，享受我在上海的生活。

我的家庭

There are seven people in my family. They're my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, my two younger brothers and I. My father is a businessman. He's busy working everyday. My mother is a housewife. She cooks meals, washes clothes, and teaches us lessons everyday. One of my younger brothers is a junior high school student, and we go to the same school. My grandparents help my parents look after the youngest brother every day. We go to the movies every Sunday. How's your family?

我的家庭

我家有7口人，他们是我祖父，祖母，父亲，母亲，两个弟弟和我。父亲是商人，天天忙着工作；母亲是主妇，天天洗衣做饭，并教我们知识。我一个弟弟是初中生，和我在同一所学校。祖父母天天帮父母照看我最小的弟弟。每个周六，我们一起去看电影。你们家什么情况？

4) My Classmates我的同学

Liu Kai is my classmate. He is a good student and always ready to help others. One day on his way to school, he saw a little girl crossing the road when a car nearly hit her. Just then Liu Kai rushed up to her and caught her by the arm. The little girl was saved. She told him where she lived, and he took her home. When Liu Kai hurried into the classroom, the teacher had already begun lesson. He told the teacher why he was late. He was then praised for what he had done. 我的同学

刘凯是我的同班同学。他是个好学生并乐于助人。一天在他上学的路上，他看见一个小女孩过马路，当时一辆汽车差点撞到她。就在那时，刘凯冲到她跟前用双臂抱起了她。小女孩得救了。她告诉他住的地方，然后他就把她送回家了。当刘凯急匆匆地赶到教室时，老师已经开始讲课了。他告诉老师他迟到的原因。然后他就因此受到表扬了。

5) My Hometown我的家乡

My hometown is Haimen, which is not far from Shanghai. Haimen is a modern city. There are lots of high buildings in it. Most of us live in flats because we can be close to our friends. My hometown is a beautiful city. On either side of the roads, there are some big trees and nice flowers. The roads are also very clean, which makes people happy and comfortable. The weather here is very nice. I like autumn best, for it’s neither hot nor cold but very cool. I love Haimen. Welcome to my hometown.

我的家乡

我的家乡在海门，离上海不远。海门是一个现代城市，有许多高楼。我们大部分人住在公寓里因为这样可以和朋友们离得很近。我的家乡是个美丽的城市。道路两边都有一些大树和美丽的花朵。道路很干净，这使人感到愉悦、舒服。这儿的天气也不错，我最喜欢秋天，因为既不热也不冷，很凉爽。我爱海门。欢迎到我家乡来。

14

I live in a big family with 4 generations together. There are 5 people in my family. We share a 3-bedroom flat with each other. My grandparents have got retired and enjoy the love from the grandchild-me. My parents both work in a bank. I study in Fudan University and like the college life very much. Every weekday, we are busy with our own business. But on weekends, our whole family will gather together with Mum cooking delicious food. I love my family and enjoy living in a big family.

生活在一个大家庭中

我生活在一个四世同堂的家庭里。我家有五个人。我们住在有三间卧室的一所公寓里。我的祖父母已经退休了，正享受着来自我作为一个孙女的关爱。我父母都在银行工作。我在复旦大学念书并很喜欢大学生活。每个工作日，我们都忙于自己的事。但在周末，我们一家人会聚到一块，妈妈为我们烹饪可口的食物。我热爱我家也喜欢生活在一个大家庭中。

It was Sunday. Our teacher Mr. Zhu led us to a park nearby. Usually we go to the park to spend our holiday. But today we went there to take part in voluntary labor. We got there at nine o’clock. Mr. Zhu divided us into three groups and then we began working. Group One was responsible to plant trees and water flowers. Group Two were busy collecting litter left by the tourists. I was in Group Three. We went to the children’s playground and cleaned all the equipment there. We worked very hard. At about eleven we finished work. We all were tired but very happy. I will never forget the day in my memory.

难忘的一天

星期天，朱老师带我们去附近的公园。通常我们去公园是度假的。但是今天，我们去那是参加义务劳动。我们九点钟到达，朱老师把我们分成三组，然后我们开始劳动。一组负责种树、浇花。二组忙着收集游客丢弃的垃圾。我在第三组。我们去了儿童游乐场，清扫那里的设备。我们工作很努力，大约11点，我们结束了劳动。我们都很累，但很高兴。我永远都不会忘记记忆中这天。

There are many happy things in my Childhood. I still remember the good old days when I play with my family. When I was 10 years old, my father took me to Hong Kong to see my aunt. This was my first visit to Hong Kong. During my stayed there, I went to the famous Ocean Park and the Hong Kong Disneyland. My aunt was very excited and we all had a good time. This travel became the happiest things in my childhood. 童年的趣事

我的童年有许多有趣的事情，至今我还记得我和家人一起玩耍的日子。当我10岁时，我父亲带我去香港看望我的姨妈。这是我第一次去香港，在哪儿逗留期间，我去了著名的海洋公园和迪士尼乐园。 我的姨妈很激动，我们玩的很尽兴。这次旅行成了我童年最幸福的记忆

? Television has its good as well as bad sides. It makes us informed of daily news, lets us know the outside world, provides lessons for learners, and it has brought joy and interest into people’s lives.

15

Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Violent movies are shown on TV programs. Children regard the murders as heroes or models, so they imitate. Therefore there happened many murders or shooting cases in American campuses. What a big harm. So young people should learn to get ride of the bad influences of TV and learn to make use of the advantages that TV brings us.

关于电视

电视既有利也有弊。它让我们知晓每日的新闻，了解外面的世界，为学习者提供教育，并为人们的生活带来欢乐和乐趣。不幸的是，有些电视节目对年轻人十分有害。暴力电影在电视上播放。孩子们把杀人犯视为英雄和偶像，所以他们会去仿效。因此在美国校园里就发生了许多谋杀和枪击事件。害处多大啊。所以年轻人应该摆脱电视带来的负面影响并学会利用电视给我们带来的好的方面。

Nowadays there are a lot of false advertisements in society. They have caused much harm to society. Generally, their harm can be listed as follows.

First, they exaggerate the functions of the goods they advertise and mislead consumers. Second, some advertisements contain bad contents and bring about spiritual pollution. Third, they seriously damage the credit of businesses because the shops which sell those goods will be distrusted by consumers.

In conclusion, false advertisements must be got rid of in our society

论电视广告

当前，社会上由许多虚假广告，它们给社会造成了许多危害。总体来看，其危害性如下所示：第一虚假广告夸大了产品的功能，误导了消费者。第二一些广告包含不健康内容，带来精神垃圾。第三虚假广告严重损害了公司信誉因为消费者不再信任这些兜售虚假广告产品的商店。总而言之，社会上的虚假广告必须被铲除。

3) The Computer电脑

Nowadays, computers are becoming more and more popular. Computers can help different people in different ways. They can help children with lessons and homework, help students and scholars do calculations, analyze data and present the latest achievements. Furthermore, they can assist engineers and experts in the design of a mold, a bridge or a spaceship. Besides, computers can offer fun and entertainment to us with the internet games, movies, and etc. Indeed, computers have become a good companion of man.

电脑

现在，电脑越来越普遍。电脑可以在不同方面帮助不同人。他们可以帮助孩子学习，做作业。帮助孩子和学者作计算，分析数据，展示最近的成绩。另外，他们可以帮助工程师和专家设计模型，桥梁和太空船。并且，电脑可以给我们提供网络游戏，电影等从而带给我们娱乐。确实，电脑是我们人类的好伙伴。

Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health, but how to keep healthy? First, it is necessary to take some exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder. Second, eat more fruits, vegetables and less meat. Third, getting rid of bad habits like smoking and drinking is also an important way 16

to keep healthy. Smoking and alcohol drinking injure one's health a great deal, and therefore should be given up. If people follow these three ways of keeping fit, they’ll greatly improve their health.

怎样保持健康

现在，越来越多的人都关注自己的健康，但是怎样保持健康呢？首先，每天有必要做一些锻炼。研究表明大量的锻炼使心力增强、肺部功能增强。其次，吃更多的水果、蔬菜，少吃些肉。再次，摆脱一些不良习惯，例如吸烟和酗酒。这也是保持健康的一个重要方法。吸烟和酗酒会有害人体，因此应该戒掉。如果人们遵循以上几点来保持健康，他们将大大改善健康状况。

Like everything else, mobile phones have both favorable and unfavorable aspects. First, it's useful. As a wireless mobile telephone, it's easy and handy to call wherever one goes and call the one however far away he is. Second, it's convenient. Whenever one meets trouble or something urgent, one can make a call immediately. However, the mobile phone also has many disadvantages. First, it's expensive to buy and costly to pay the bills. Second, it's also easy to lose and costly to get it repaired. Third, it's alleged the microwaves in it might do harm to people's health. I believe its advantages will far outweigh disadvantages soon.

手机的利弊

像每样事物一样，手机既有利又有弊。

首先，它有用处。作为一个无线移动电话，它轻巧、便于携带，无论到哪都可以打电话，也无论那个人在多远都可以打给他。其次，方便。无论何时遇到困难或是紧急事件时，都可以立即打电话。尽管如此，手机还是有许多不利方面。其一，它价格昂贵账单花销也大。其二，它容易丢失，修理费用大。其三，它被指控有微波会伤害人体健康。我相信不久手机的优点就会远远超过其缺点的。

Cell phones do play an important role in people’s daily life, but every coin has its two sides. To start with, as a wireless mobile phone, it’s convenient for the user at any time to contact others. Secondly, it’s a helpful companion. With a multifunctional cell phone in hand, one can easily surf the net, downloading what he needs. However, the cell phone has many disadvantages. For one thing, the machine itself is very expensive and its local service is very costly, not to mention its global service. For another, the radiation from the mobile phones might do harm to the user’s health. In my opinion, with its expenses being reduced sharply after China’s entry into the WTO, its development will have a brighter future. Therefore its advantages will far outweigh its disadvantages.

手机之我谈

手机在人们生活中扮演重要角色。但是任何事物都有两面。首先，作为无限电话，手机方便用户任何时间都可以联系他人。其次，手机是很有帮助的伙伴。手里拿一个多功能手机，一个人可以很容易上网下载他需要的信息。但是手机也有缺点。一方面，它很昂贵，本地服务费很贵，更别提全球服务了。另一方面，手机辐射可能对用户健康造成危害。以我来看，中国入世后，手机价格大幅跳水，手机还是会有一个更加光明的未来。因此它利大于弊。

17

Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make friends. When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys. Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection, and readiness to help. In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.

关于友谊

友谊是一种人际关系。是人类交朋友的本能。当我们陷入困境时，需要朋友给我们帮助、支持和鼓励。取得成功时，我们也需要朋友来一起分享快乐。友谊是一种我们能享受的最大的快乐。它意味着忠诚、热诚、同情、挚爱和帮助的愿望。总之，当我们已经建立了友谊，我们应该珍爱、珍惜它。只有这样，我们才能建立真正的友谊并让神圣的友谊之灯终生不灭。

While we are enjoying the rich fruits of modern industrialization, we are losing something precious on this planet. Fresh water, among others, is dwindling down day by day, owing to the large-scale industrialization everywhere in the world.

Just as sunshine is a necessity to life, so is fresh water. Without fresh water, our human society would come to a stop. As fresh water is such an important resource to the human society, we need to treasure it as we treasure our life, but how? First, our government should have a good plan for the use of fresh water and develop industries that consume less water. Second, waste water must be recycled. Finally every one of us should do his bit to save water.

水和生活

享受现代工业化丰富成果的同时，我们也在失去这个星球上一些宝贵的东西。 其中淡水，由于全世界各地大规模的工业化，其面积正在一天天缩小。如阳光是生活的必需品一样， 淡水也如此。没有淡水，我们人类社会就会终结。因为淡水是我们社会的重要资源，我们需要像珍视生命一样珍视它，但是该怎么做？ 首先，政府应该对淡水的使用有个好计划，发展那些消耗水量少的工业。其次，废水必须得到循环利用。最后我们每个人都应该尽全力节省水。

Everybody knows that water pollution is a serious problem in the world. Lots of rubbish or chemical pollutants have been thrown in the rivers, lakes and seas. Many of them are getting dirtier and dirtier. Fish have died in the water, and people get sick after drinking polluted water.

My grandfather says, when he was very little, the water in the river was very clean. He often swam in the river with his friends. But now we can’t see such clean rivers. Let’s protect the water from pollution, because we can’t live without water. The water is really important to us all. 水污染

人人都知道谁污染是一个全球的重大问题。许多垃圾和化学污染物质都排放到河流，湖泊和大海中去，以至于他们变得越来越脏。喝了被污染的水，鱼死了，人生病了。

我的祖父说他小的时候，河水很清，他经常和朋友一起在河里游泳。但是， 我们现在再也看不到这样的河了。我们要保护河水不受到污染，因为没有水我们就活不了，水对于我们而言真的很重要

8) Bad Manners in Public公共场所不礼貌行为

18

Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced beings living in a civilized society, bad manners can still be found here and there. For example, some cyclists run the red traffic lights, many passengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourist attractions, let alone spit on the street. In the cinema, some people talk loudly on cell phones in front of others.

I’m strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behavior shows no respect at all to others; what’s worse, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun.

公共场合的不礼貌现象

虽然我们认为我们自己是文明社会的高度发达的生物，不礼貌现象仍然到处可见。比如，一些骑自行车者闯红灯；许多旅客在公共场所乱扔废纸和塑料瓶；一些游客在名胜古迹乱涂鸦，更不用说随地吐痰了。在电影院，一些人在别人面前大声讲手机。

我强烈反对在电影院大声喧哗，因为这种行为表示对其他人的不尊重。更糟糕的是，这使得原本好心情的观众很难过。

9）On Money论金钱

A famous saying goes that “money is a good servant but a bad master.” Should we become its masters or its slaves? I think we should be the masters of money and never be controlled by money. As we all know, money is necessary for a happy life, for we need money to make a living in the society. But money is not equal to happiness and a lot of rich people live a miserable life. We should think of money in a correct way and never do anything illegal in order to get money. 论金钱

有一句名言是这样说的：“钱是好仆人，但是坏主人。”我们应该做金钱的主人还是奴隶呢？我想我们应该做主人，永远都不要被金钱控制。众所周知，金钱是幸福生活的必备品，因为我们需要钱在社会中生存。但是金钱不等于幸福，许多有钱人过着悲惨的生活。我们应该以正确的方式看待金钱，永远都不要为了得到金钱而作任何非法的事情。

10）Physical Exercise / Sports论体育运动

Everyone hopes to live happily in the world. Physical exercise is indispensable to a happy life. There is a famous saying: "Life lies on exercise." Although you will not necessarily die without regular physical exercises, they'll certainly help you live longer and more healthily.

Firstly, exercise is good for us to build our bodies. It helps to keep the diseases far away from us. Secondly, exercise can also train us to response agilely. Thirdly, exercise can help improve our mood and make our life colorful.

In a word, exercise is helpful, important and absolutely necessary.

论体育运动

每个人都希望能够幸福地生活在这个世界上，而体育运动是不可缺少的。有一句名言“生命在于运动”。尽管人不运动也未必会死去，但是，运动一定会有助于你获得更长，更健康。首先，运动对与我们的身体有好处，它是我们远离疾病。其次，运动能够训练我们快速作出反应，最后。运动能够帮助我们改善心情，使得我们的生活更有色彩。总之，运动是重要的，对我们是有帮助的，也是绝对有必要的。

11）Responsibility论责任

We Chinese place a high value on responsibility. It is a tradition for us to take care of our parents. We owe them a great deal for the love they’ve given us in our childhood.

19

As loyal Chinese citizens, we must have a strong sense of responsibility to our country. It is our duty to keep China strong in the eyes of the world. Therefore, we must be willing to join the Army and defend our country against invasion.

In short, to be a responsible citizen, we must put our country’s benefits above our own. 论责任

中国人崇尚责任。照顾父母是我们的传统。我们很亏欠父母，因为他们在我们童年时给我我们很多。 作为忠诚的中国公民，我们必须对国家有强烈的责任感。我们有责任使中国跻身于世界强国之列。因此， 我们必须心甘情愿参军保卫我们祖国不受侵略。 总之，做一个有责任心的公民，我们必须把祖国利益置于个人利益之上。

要求：1：现代社会获取信息的方式很多。2：我最喜欢的获取信息的方式。

Nowadays we have a great number of means of getting information. Libraries provide us with books, while Internet offers us information resources.

My favorite means of getting information is surfing the Internet. It enables me to search what I want within just a few seconds. In addition, when we meet with some problems, we can go to Baidu to ask for help, and we can often get satisfying answers.

Internet helps me really a lot. It’s my favorite way of getting information. I enjoy searching information through Internet.

我最喜欢的获取信息的方法

现在我们有好多信息渠道，图书馆提供书籍，因特网提供信息源。我最喜欢的获取信息的方法是上网。它可以使我在几秒钟内搜索到我想要的信息。另外，当我们遇到问题时，我们可以去百度求助，通常我们可以获得令人满意的答案。网络帮了我很大忙，是我最喜欢的获取信息的方法，我喜欢通过网络搜索信息。

13）Newspapers论报纸

I read newspapers every day. As a student, I have no time to watch news programs on TV. Besides, watching television takes up a lot of time. So reading the newspaper becomes the only way for me to learn about what's happening around the world.

There is an old Chinese saying, "A scholar need not leave his home to know what’s going on in the world." Thus, reading the newspaper is a must for those who wish to keep up with the times.

论报纸

我每天都看报纸。身为学生，我没有时间看电视新闻节目。此外，看电视要花许多时间。因此，看报纸就成了我了解天下大事的唯一途径。 一句中国古谚说：「秀才不出门，能知天下事。」因此，我的看法为凡是想赶上时代的人都必须阅读报纸。

14）Private Cars in China 中国私家车 In China, a lot of people own private cars.

There is no doubt that private cars make us travel faster and farther, but they have caused some problems. First, too many private cars make the road crowded and cause traffic jams. Second, they pollute the air. Third, they cause a lot of traffic accidents.How can we solve these problems? I think we should go to work by bus instead of driving private cars. Only in this way, can we protect our living environment.

20

论私家车

中国有好多人有私家车。毫无疑问，私家车可以加快旅途，但是它们也造成了一些问题。第一，许多私家车造成路况拥堵，和交通堵塞；第二，造成空气污染；第三，造成许多交通事件。如何解决这些问题呢？ 我认为，我们应该乘坐公交车而非私家车上班，只有这样，我们才能保护我们的生存环境。

I think hosting 2008 Olympic Games will have a positive effect on the Chinese economy. First, there will be lots of foreigners come to China to see the Olympic Games, these foreigners will consume a lot during their stay in China. Second, the Olympic Games create more job opportunities for local workers, because we need to build a lot of gyms for the sport games.In all, 2008 Olympic Games are a great success and will continue to improve China’s economy.

2008 北京奥运

我认为举办08年奥运会给中国经济带来了正面影响。首先，许多外国人来到中国观看奥运，这批外国人在中国逗留期间可以促成很多消费。其次，奥运会给当地工人提供了很多机会，因为需要建造很多体育馆来进行体育比赛。总之，08年奥运会是一次巨大成功，将会继续提高中国经济。

Health and Wealth, Which do you prefer? Most people prefer wealth to health. They think money is the most important. And they can buy whatever they want with money. But I disagree with them. In my opinion, health is more important than wealth. If you are in good health, you can do a lot of things you want and enjoy them while you are doing so. And of course you can work to better off you life. So I think health is more important for me than wealth.

健康与财富

健康与财富，你更喜欢哪个？大部分人更喜欢财富。他们认为钱是最重要的。钱能够买到他们想要的任何东西。但是，我不同意这种观点。就我而言，健康比财富更重要。如果你身体健康，你可以做许多你想做事情，做的同时也非常的享受。当然，你也能好好工作让生活更好。因此，我认为剑客比财富更加的重要。

As we all know, not all people can make success in their lives. Most people will meet with failures on the way to success. Why do some people get successful in their lives? I think there are three reasons. Firstly, they have strong willpower. Once they decide to do something, they will never give up. Secondly, they work hard. Once they set up a goal, they will work hard to achieve it. Thirdly, they never easily quit. They always stick to their aims. Therefore, these three reasons above are most important on the way to success.

成功的路

众所周知，生活中不是每个人都能成功。大部分在成功的道路上会遇到失败。为什么有人会成功呢？ 我认为有三个原因。首先，他们拥有坚强的意志力，一旦下定决心做某事，他们就永不放弃。二、我们工作很努力。一旦设置了目标，他们就会努力工作来实现这个目标。第三，他们从不轻易放弃，他们总是坚持自己的目标。因此以上三条就是通往成功道路的要素。

21

“Never give up” is often said by people when they are frustrated. It means determination and encouragement. In my opinion, it’s is of great importance to success. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up. If we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged by our failures; instead we should try again. In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals.

永不言弃

当人们沮丧时，永不言弃就会经常挂在嘴边。这句话意味着决心和勇气。依我来看，通向成功，决心是很重要的，因此，我认为我们应该永不言弃。如果我们轻易放弃，我们就几乎不能达成我们的目的。对我们而言，初次尝试新鲜事物，失败是很正常的，所以，我们不应该被失败所打倒，相反我们应该再次尝试。总之，为工作的目标而努力奋斗时，永不放弃是非常重要的。

19）Failure is the mother of success失败乃成功之母

As we all know, not all people can make success in their lives. Most people will meet with failures on the way to success. A lot of failures help them to get success. So failure is the mother of success. With failures, people will get lessons from them and become more experienced. With failures, people will be closer and closer to success. With failures, people will work harder and harder in order to achieve success. Therefore, failure is an important part of success. Failure is the mother of success.

失败乃成功之母

众所周知，生活中不是每个人都能成功。大部分在成功的道路上会遇到失败。许多的失败帮助他们走向成功。所以失败是成功之母。有了失败，人们就会从中吸取教训，变得更加有经验。有了失败，人们就会离成功越来越近。有了失败，人们就会为了成功而更加努力。因此，失败是成功的重要部分，失败是成功之母。

Is stress a bad thing? I don’t think so. Each coin has two sides. Stress has good points as well as bad points. It can encourage people to work harder than ever before. Sometimes, some people will make great success under stress. Without stress, people will lose aims in life. Without stress, people will live an aimless life. They won’t work hard or study hard. They will play computer games everyday and never finish homework or their tasks. Therefore, sometimes, proper stress is a good thing in our life.

压力是坏事吗？

压力是坏事吗？我不这样认为，每个硬币都有两面。压力有危害也有好处。压力可以鼓励人们比以往更加努力工作。有时候处于压力中的人们更容易取得成功。没有了压力，人们会失去生活的目标，他们就会不努力学习，不努力工作，天天玩电脑游戏而不做作业或者不完成工作中的任务。因此，有时候，生活中有适量的压力是好事。

An old saying goes like “East, west, home is the best”. Home is very important to us. Firstly, home can offer us a place to have a rest. Every day, we can go back home after work and have a good rest. Secondly, when we are hurt outside, we can go back home and comfort ourselves with 22

the love of our family members. Thirdly, when we meet with difficulties, we can go back home and ask family members for help. Therefore, home is one of the most important things in our life. 金窝银窝不如自己的草窝

古语说的好，金窝银窝不如自己的草窝。家对我们非常重要。首先，家提供给我们休息的地方。每天经过繁忙的工作，我们可以回家好好休息。第二，当我们在外面受了伤，我们可以回家，在家人的爱护下宽慰自己。第三，当我们遇到困难时，我们可以回家找家人帮忙。因此，家使我们生活中最重要是事物之一。

There is an English saying "Honesty is the best policy." It tells us the importance of honesty. With honesty, you can get along well with others and you will win friendship, because if you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you. Without honesty, no one will trust you, and you won’t have a lot of friends, so you will feel lonely.

诚信至上

有一句英语谚语“诚信至上”。它告诉了我们诚信的重要性。有了诚信，你可以和别人相处融洽，你就会赢得友谊。因为如果你对别人诚实，别人也会回报你诚实。当你忧伤的时候，他们会安慰你。当你有困难时，他们会帮助你。没有了诚信，没有人会信任你，你不会有很多朋友，所以你会孤独。

23）My view on luck论运气

Nowadays many people believe in luck. They think luck can bring them everything thing. If they have good luck, they will be successful without hard work. But this is a wrong idea. As we all know, good luck does not come alone. Luck goes hand in hand with hard work. When a good chance comes to you, but you don’t work hard to finish the task, then you can’t grasp the chance, so good luck passes you by and leaves you. Therefore, people should work hard instead of depending on luck completely.

论运气

近来许多人相信运气。他们认为运气可以带给他们一切。如果他们有好运，他们不用付出辛勤的劳动也能成功。但这个观点是错误的。众所周知，好运不是单独来的。好运和努力的工作紧密联系的。当好运降临到你身上时，如果你不努力工作去完成任务，你就抓不住机会，所以好运就会从你身边溜走，离你而去。因此，人们应该努力工作而不是完全依赖运气。

I like country (suburban) life better than city (town) life. Why? First of all, country life is very quiet and comfortable, while the city life will be very noisy and busy. Secondly, air in country is fresh, people can have good health. At the same time, air in city is dirty and it is bad for people’s body. People will get a lot of diseases from it. Thirdly, country life is economical, everything is cheaper, and you can save a lot of money. So I like country life better than city life.

钱。所以相对城市生活而言，我更喜欢乡村生活。

Parents are the best teachers. Firstly, parents stay with children every day. Children will regard them as examples and learn from them. If the parents are polite, the children will be polite. Secondly, parents influence children with their words. If parents always are nice to others and say good words about others, their children will also be kind to other children. If parents are good to old people, when the parents are getting older, the children will be good to them too.

父母是最好的老师

家长是最好的老师。首先家长每天都和孩子待在一起。孩子人把家长当作典范来学习。如果家长有礼貌，孩子就会有礼貌，第二家长用语言来影响子女。如果家长们对别人好，说别人好话，孩子们也会对其它小孩好。如果家长们对老人孝顺，但家长们老去之时，子女们也会对他们好的。

．校园是否应对游客开放，人们看法不同。你的观点；2．阐述你的理由；3．结论，重申观点。

Opinions on whether the university campuses should be open to tourists vary from person to

person. I support the idea with the following two reasons. First, with the coming of great numbers of tourists, universities may obtain a lot of money to renew and modernize teaching buildings and other teaching facilities. So we can improve the whole campus environment. Secondly, young children, when visiting the university, may be encouraged to work even harder to realize their dream of attending universities. But every advantage has its disadvantage. Anyway universities should not only be an ivory tower to college students, but also a tourist attraction to all people. 对于校园是否应对游客开放人们的看法各异。我支持这个观点有2个理由。第一，随着参观校园的游客人数的增加，学校就会有很多钱，可以用这些钱来建造和改建校舍和教学设施，这样就能够改进校园的环境。第二，年轻人参观校园会受到鼓舞，激发他们更努力地学习以实现他们上大学的梦想。但是，如何一个优点都会有它的不利之处。然而，学校不仅应该是大学生的象牙塔，还有是人们的观光旅游之地。
