1. 1、假设你在书店买了一本英文词典，发现存在质量问题，书店的服务态度又不好，因此给报社编辑写信。信中必须包括以下内容： (1)事情的起因；

(2)与书店交涉的经过；

[参考范文] July 12, 2006 Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to reflect some problems I came across recently and. appeal to the improvement of the service industry.

This weekend I bought an English-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover is elaborately designed. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that the several pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect my comprehension. Since there was such damage and misprint to the dictionary, I went to the bookstore to require for a replace. But to my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality of the dictionary.

It goes without saying that today’s face-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard for service industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It’s self-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industry will not only deeply disappoint customers but also hamper the development of our country’s economy. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to the service industry to attach more importance to the service improvement.

Thank you for your attention! Sincerely yours, Liu Fang

Make Our Cities Greener

With the rapid growth of modern city, urban vegetation has been greatly reduced. On one hand, plenty of trees have been cut down to make room for skyscrapers. On the other, parking lots have taken the place of gardens and grassland. As a result, it is very difficult form to see green trees or green grass.

But vegetation is indispensable to the people living in the city. Green plants provide fresh air, which can reduce air pollution. In addition, trees, plants and flowers can not only beautify our surroundings but also improve the local climate. In a word, life in the city without enough vegetation will be unbearable.

Therefore, effective measures should be taken to ensure a sufficient amount of vegetation in the city. The local government should attach great importance to the planting of trees, and the cultivation of lawns.

The citizens should be encouraged to grow flowers and other plants. Only in this way can we make our cities greener.

3. For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic \"Will Computers Replace Man?\". You should write no less than 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below.

1. 有人认为计算机正在创造奇迹，迟早要代替人类。 2. 而我则认为…

[参考范文]

We are in the computer age today. Computers are working all kinds of wonders now. They are very useful in automatic control and data processing. At the same time, computers are finding their way into the home. They seem to be so clever and can solve such complicated problems that some people think sooner or later they'll replace us.

But I don't think that there is such a possibility. My reason is simple: computers are machines, not humans. And our tasks are far too various and complicated for any one single kind of machines to perform.

Probably the greatest difference between man and computers is that the former can do things of his own accord while the latter can do nothing without being programmed.

In my opinion, computers will remain nothing but an extension of our human brains, no matter how clever and complicated they may become.

[参考范文] Teacher's Day

Today is September 10th, the Teacher's Day. I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to express my earnest gratitude and sincere wishes to all the respectable teachers across the land.

This special day brings back sweet memories of many dedicated teachers, among whom Mr. Li, my Chinese language teacher in junior school, is the most unforgettable. As a poor and dull speaker, I was once paralyzed into silence when my turn came in a class speaking contest. With my palms sweating and my throat tightened, I rushed back to my seat amidst my classmates' laughter, greatly embarrassed. On the late evening that day, Mr. Li came and asked me to accompany him to a child welfare center to give a hand on weekends，not 'mentioning a word of my failure．There，we read books to the orphans，told them stories， and taught them songs． Gradually， I found myself more outgoing and popular with my peers．By making me feel useful and important．Mr. Li showed me that I could make a difference．

The fine impressions of the teachers will remain forever in my most cherished memories. Only by sparing no pains to contribute to the society can I repay their selflessness and generosity．

The Game I Like Best

I like playing football best. As a school pupil, I used to play it with my classmates after school every day. Now as a college student, I still play it whenever I can find time although I am busy with my studies. Furthermore, I never miss an important match shown on TV. Sometimes, I get up even at the middle of the night in order to watch an international game.

The football game requires both a good physical body and real skill. To begin with, to play football well, you should be very strong and have a lot of muscles. Then, you should be skillful in tackling the ball, bringing it along, passing it to and catching it from others and, above all, scoring a goal. In short, it is physical strength and skill that make a good football player. Playing football brings us many benefits. First, it can train your mind and teach you to think quickly. Second, by playing football, you learn to persevere when faced with difficulties. However, the most important benefit of all is that playing football can cultivate in you the spirit of teamwork. For all these reasons, I enjoy playing football very much.

Money and the Meaning of Life

[参考范文1]

Money and the Meaning of Life

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

Money and the Meaning of Life

If we understood the true role of money in our lives, writes philosopher Jacob Needleman, we would not think simply in terms of spending it or saving it. Money exerts a deep emotional influence on who we are and what we tell ourselves we can never have. Our long unwillingness to understand the emotional and spiritual effects of money on us is at the heart of why we have come to know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

Money has everything to do with the pursuit of an idealistic life, while at the same time, it is at the root of our daily frustrations. On a social level, money has a profound impact on the price of progress. Needleman shows how money slowly began to haunt us, from the invention of coins in Biblical times (when money was created to rescue the community good, not for self gain), through its hypnotic appeal in our money-obsessed era.

This is a remarkable book that combines myth and psychology, the poetry of the Sufis and the wisdom of King Solomon, along with Jacob Needleman's searching of his own soul and his culture to explain how money can become a unique means of self-knowledge. As part of the Currency paperback line, it includes a \"User's Guide\" an introduction and discussion guide created for the paperback by the author -- to help readers make practical use of the book's ideas.

9. For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic \"How to Improve Heavy Traffic in Big Cities\". You should write no less than 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below. 1. 大城市的交通现状。

2. 可能的解决方法(如多建公路和多开辟公交线路)。 3. 我的观点。

[参考范文]

The situation of traffic in big cities is quite grave. Delays easily result from traffic jams during rush hour, and traffic accidents are on the rise, because there exists inefficient traffic control and bicycles run along with cars on narrow streets.

There are some solutions to the problem of heavy traffic. One is to lay down more roads, which not only increases the number of buses and cars, but also speeds up the flow of traffic. But it will take up much more land. Another is to open up more routes of buses. As a result, bicycle-riders or taxi-takers can be reduced and accidents can be avoided in great numbers. But people may feel uncomfortable for lack of seats on the bus.

In my opinion, the most satisfactory solution to heavy traffic is the combination of the two, that is, to lay down more roads in spacious areas and to open up more bus routes in downtown areas.

[参考范文]

It is obvious that there are some problems in college English learning. In my opinion, something most discouraging is that many students find difficulty in communicating with a native speaker although they have learned English for many years.

There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon. Firstly, most of the students, even many teachers of English pay little attention to the use of the language. To them, the most important thing of learning English is to memorize some grammatical rules and enlarge the vocabulary. Secondly, many students have not realized the real purpose of learning English. They hold that they study English to pass tests, but not master a useful tool for their own use. To change this situation, my suggestion is that more emphasis must be put on improving communicative abilities in English. For example, why not advocate that the listening and speaking should be included in the test of English at various levels?

[详细解析] 作文首先直接提出英语学习中存在的问题，即经过多年英语学习之后，学生依然不能用英语进行交流。第二段揭示并分析产生这种现象的两个原因。主题句为There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon．扩展句的主要内容：一是对语言运用的学习不够重视；二是学习英语的目的只是为了通过考试。最后提出解决问题而且现实可行的建议，用问句结尾，引起阅卷老师对本文的注意。 本文的语言表达准确，三个段落的过渡自然。文章开头句子明确提出问题It is obvious that there are some problems in college English learning，第二段首句提出产生这种现象的原因有两个 There are two reasons explaining this phenomena，末段的首句用To change this situation来承接上文，最后用for example引出自己的建议。
