Dear Mom and Dad,

The annual college entrance examination is around the corner. On this special occasion, how I wish I could have a heart-to-heart talk with you.

Through those years of my growing up, I always feel grateful to you for your unselfish help, care and love for me. Thanks to your constant encouragement, I have been making remarkable progress in my studies. It will be less than three months before I take the College Entrance Examination, which makes me under great pressure. I need frequent support. You know, good studying conditions and timely help will do me a lot of good.

Mom and Dad, my dream is the very one you always have. I am fully aware of the responsibilities I am bearing. I plan to make a detailed study schedule for this coming examination so that I can review lessons and practice solving problems of different subjects. It is also necessary that I do some physical training once in a while so that I can keep fit. If possible, as a family member, I will also help do some housework to make you relax a little bit.

I am quite confident of my future life and I do wish you good health and a happy life.

                                                                               Yours ever,

                                                                             Li Xiang

【参考范文2】

These years, independent enrollment is more and more popular and it has caused a lot of debate. People’s views on that vary from person to person.

Many people support it. To begin with, it provides both colleges and students an extra opportunity. All outstanding students have easier access to their dream universities without too much worry. For the universities, they can enroll talented students in another way. To continue with, the new policy encourages students to develop overall instead of paying only attention to scores. At the same time, it can also reduce the enormous stress of the college entrance examination effectively.

However, many others disagree with the policy. In their opinion, many rich and powerful parents will make use of their power and money to get a chance for their children, which is totally unfair to other students. Also, in order to prepare for it, you have to spend much money and time on it while only a few will succeed. It’s not worthwhile at all.

Personally, I am for the reform. For one thing, it means college entrance exams are not the only way to get access to university. Two chances are always better than one. For another, it will be beneficial to both colleges and students as long as it is carried out properly.

Mike,

I’m very glad that you want to learn Chinese. There is no doubt that to learn Chinese well is by no means an easy thing, but I have some ideas that may help.

     Firstly, it is important to listen to the teacher carefully and take notes so that you can go over your lessons later. Secondly, try to practise speaking Chinese as much as possible out of class and write whatever you hear down to accumulate more words and expression_rs. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. And try to communicate with local people to develop listening skills. Last but not least, you should organize your time well and do a lot of exercise. Ks5u

     I think the most important thing is that you should believe in yourself. I’m sure that you will succeed after your hard work.

Yours,

高考在即，同学们倍感学习任务重，压力大。一些同学争分夺秒甚至连课间十分钟休息时间也在学习。针对这一现象，请你以A Ten-minute Break为题，写一篇短文，短文的内容主要包括以下几点：

1.十分钟的课间休息很有必要；

2.要注意适当的短时休息方式；

3.你是怎样利用这十分钟的。

注意：1.词数120左右，开头已经给出，不计入总词数；

      2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

                                 A Ten-minute Break

     As the college entrance examination is drawing nearer and nearer, we have felt the pressure from our heavy learning tasks.                                                                                 

【参考范文4】

As the college entrance examination is drawing nearer and nearer, we have felt the pressure from our heavy learning tasks. As a Senior Three student, time seems much limited. As a result, more and more students try to study from early morning till late afternoon, even during the ten-minute break. In my opinion, to take a ten-minute break between classes is definitely necessary. Otherwise we will feel tired both physically and mentally.

During the ten-minute break, we do something to get rid of tiredness. What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired. So doing nothing tiring in that period is really good for us.

     My ten-minute break is always pleasing. Sometimes I do some simple exercises. Sometimes I have a free chat with my classmates or just take a walk outside. When the next class begins, I feel fresh again.

 【参考范文8】

Is a Training Class or Family Teacher Necessary?

More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training classes or having family teachers at the weekend. There are two different viewpoints about it.

Some thinks it necessary. Firstly, it’s more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves. Secondly, it can strengthen what is learnt in class. Besides, they can learn a lot more. Others think it unnecessary. For one thing, students can easily form the habit of dependence. For another, students need time to relax from time to time. What’s more, the purpose of many training classes and teachers is to make money.

In my opinion, whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe it’s OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

【参考范文9】

I’m writing to tell about the discussion we’ve had in the recent class meeting about whether Senior 3 students should take a lot of tonics to keep fit/healthy.

Opinions are divided on the topic. Sixty percent of the students think it unnecessary for Senior 3 students to take any tonics, because tonics will cause them to put on more weight, which does harm to their health. Besides, parents will bring stress/pressure to Senior 3 students if they pay too much attention to their children’s health by buying tonics. What’s more, the price of tonics is rather high.

However, forty percent of the students hold the opinion that it is easy for Senior 3 students to fall tired by working hard with little exercise, so it is necessary to take tonics. More importantly, taking proper tonics can help to refresh themselves.

As far as I’m concerned, there is no need for Senior 3 students to take tonics, only if they develop a well balanced diet , have enough sleep and keep exercising every day.

在日常生活中（尤其是在城市里）人们喜欢喝纯净水，请你用所了解的知识有条理地介绍人们为什么喜欢喝纯净水。至少给出两条理由。短文词数120左右。

关键词：纯净水purified water   普通水 common water

【参考范文10】

Almost every family in cities drink purified water nowadays. It has become a fashion. Why do people drink purified water instead of common water? The main reason is that purified water is good for our health. Besides, drinking purified water is more convenient, because it can be drunk directly.

Some people would ask why drinking purified water is good for our health. As we know, water pollution is very serious now. So drinking common water doesn’t sound so safe as before. Purified water is absolutely clean because it doesn’t contain any mineral element. Also some certain mineral in water will do harm to our bodies when it is taken too much. At this point, purified water should be our good choice.

Besides all above, purified water also tastes good. You should have a try if you haven’t ever drunk purified water before.

【参考范文11】

At the beginning of the term, a campaign “to be a good student and a good citizen” was launched in our school, and great changes have taken place since then.

Before the campaign, we used to be late for school and failed to hand in our homework in time. Often, we forgot to greet our teachers and after class we made loud noises. Worse still, we jumped the queue when waiting for buses and scrambled for seats on board.

However, the campaign has changed us a lot. We are no longer late for school and are more careful in our homework. We have learned to show respect for the elders, help others, wait in line for buses and give up seats to other passengers.

The campaign is a very good experience, from which we have learned a lot. More importantly, we have got rid of many bad habits and have become better students at school and better citizens in society.

书面表达:十年磨剑,招招制胜

    书面表达一直在历年高考中占有很重要的地位,而且相对于其他题型,书面表达最容易在短期内有所突破,因为其他的题都是客观题,只有书面表达是主观题。主观题就意味着需要人工阅卷而不是机器阅卷,也就是说只要考生可以抓住阅卷老师的心里,按照他们所期待的模式去写,必定能在高考中取得高分。在历年的高考评卷过程中,阅卷老师是如何评判一份卷子的,阅卷人最注重的是什么,是每个高考考生迫切想知道的,笔者将结合多年的高考阅卷经验,告诉大家如何在高考中胜人一筹,在书面表达上拿到高档次的分数。书面表达在评阅时遵循语言第一位(语言高级),内容第二位(要点齐全),结构第三位(文章分段)的原则,也就是说阅卷老师最注重的是语言,换句话说是亮点,根据语言使用情况,亮点的多少而定出档次,所以考生在书面表达中语言上的亮点是得高分的关键。亮点一共有四种:一、高级词汇和语法;二、修辞手法;三、有效的连词;四、名人名言或谚语。首先简单介绍亮点当中至关重要的高级语法,以及修辞手法当中的一些技巧的使用。

    肯定不如双否好

　　修辞的使用在书面表达中算作很大的亮点,在高中阶段很少有学生会注重修辞的应用。双重否定也是种修辞,而且对于考生来说,只要稍加注意,可以在文章中设计双重否定的句子。例如想表达“邮递员天天准时到”,如果写成The postman comes on time every day,就不如变成双重否定,The postman never fails to come on time,就变成了亮点句,起到强调作用。几乎每个人对生活的态度都不同程度受到地震的影响,写成双重否定There was hardly a man or a woman whose attitude towards life had not affected by the earthquake.应用类似的修辞会在高考中为考生加分。

　　陈述不如倒装妙

　　在书面表达中阅卷老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种:倒装,强调,从句,独立主格和分词结构,以及虚拟语气。倒装是一种最简单易行的使句子呈现亮点的方法。在高中阶段只需掌握倒装的四种形式,足以应对书面表达,如何应用倒装,有很多方法和技巧。

　　1.否定词开头:如果写出的句子中有否定词,例如I will never marry you. 不如变成倒装,用否定词开头Never will I marry you. 就算作使用了高级语法。其他的否定词,如not, seldom, hardly等开头后面的句子倒装都是比较好的句子。

　　2.地点状语开头:在很多年的高考书面表达中都有表达地点的句子,一个建筑位于什么位置,或什么地方有什么东西,都可以应用倒装。例如在2006年的全国卷中,图书馆位于学校的中央,Our library is in the center of our school.变成倒装就用地点状语开头:In the center of our school lies our library. 其他的例子,想表达河岸上有很多花:On the bank stand some flowers. 天空中繁星点点:In the sky hang little stars. 总之在想表达地点时就把地点状语放在句首后面主谓倒装。这样做的好处之一是倒装本身就是高级结构,第二是倒装后把真正的主语放到了句子的末尾,后面还可以继续加从句,使整个句子再呈现更多的亮点。例如In the center of our school lies our library,which is between the garden and the teaching building. 3.Only+介词短语:例如在2007年全国卷中,让外教帮你找个笔友,有一句可以表达成只有通过这种方式我才能提高英语,这句话可以写成Only in this way can I improve my English.其他的例子还有Only by taking exercises can we keep healthy. 4. 形容词+as+主语+必动词:例如Young as I am, I can manage it; Rich as our country is, we have a lot of problems. 2000年书面表达中:Badly injured as he was, he managed to take down the car’s number. 还有其他的倒装结构,很高兴收到的你的来信:So glad am I to hear from you.在高考中要尽量使用一两个倒装。

　　主动不如被动巧

　　在近些年的阅卷中,发现考生在写作中很少使用被动语态,也许是受中文思维的影响,几乎整篇文章都使用主动语态。其实在英文中,被动语态的使用是很重要的。因为英语是一门客观的语言,而汉语是主观的语言,具体体现在英语中经常用被动语态,汉语经常用主动语态;英语中经常用物称或形式主语开头,强调一件事发生在什么人身上,而汉语经常用人称开头强调一个人发生了什么事。所以使用被动语态符合英语的习惯,如果能将整个文章中两个句子变成被动语态,就会呈现句型的变化,使整个文章句型丰富。例如在2006年的高考中,很多学生在表达我们每次可以借五本书最多借十天时,都是用:We can borrow five books at most, and we can keep them for ten days.这句话如果写成:At most five books can be borrowed at a time and they can be kept for ten days,分数会更高。

　　分词结构不能少

　　在前文提到,在书面表达中老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种:倒装,强调,从句,独立主格和分词结构,以及虚拟语气。在所有的高级语法中,阅卷老师最喜欢看到的是独立主格和分词结构,其次是剩下的几项。但很多学生不知道如何在文章中使用这个最大的亮点。其实几乎所有的状语从句都可以变成独立主格或分词结构,时间状语从句,原因状语,条件状语等。例如条件状语从句:If such is the case, you should apologize to her. 如何变成独立主格或分词结构呢?学会下面的口诀,如果你的作文中有状语从句,马上可改成独立主格或分词结构这个最大的亮点。

　　口诀:一去,二看,三改。一去:去连词;二看:看主语;三改:改分词。

　　If such is the case, you should apologize to her.按照这个口诀来改,第一步,去掉连词if;第二步,看前后两句话的主语,前后主语不一致,所以要改成独立主格;第三步,改分词,is 变成分词是being,所以最后变成Such being the case, you should apologize to her.就变成了独立主格。如果前后两句话主语一致,就变成分词结构,例如2005年高考书面表达中的一句话Because I am a student, I’d like to know the price for students. 改成Being a student, I’d like to know the price for students.其他想表达状语从句的时候几乎都一样。所以想表达由于,因为,如果等都写成独立主格或分词结构会让阅卷老师多给几分。

　　总之,高考的书面表达重在设计,如何设计出让阅卷老师看了眼前一亮的句子,写出有分词,倒装,强调,修辞的句子,使整篇文章句型丰富,不单一,有效的使用连接成分使文章连贯,方能在高考中拿到高分。

高考英语阅读理解六字“真诀”

      得阅读者得天下！阅读理解历来都是英语测试的重中之重，阅读策略一直都是各类英语考试备考之主打策略，阅读恐惧也是每位考生最大的应试恐惧。在长期的教学中，我总结了“重、定、划、看、防、读”阅读理解六字真诀，不少学生从中受益；很大一部分同学按此思路去运作解题，正确率大大提高，阅读理解零失误的同学也大有人在。现一一阐释，条分缕析，以飨读者。

　　一、重

　　“重”——“重文本”。读懂文章最重要。

　　文本是题源所在，如果将考生比作勘探人员，那么文本就是他们的勘探场所。撰题者正式通过对文章的深入剖析，才将一个个的宝藏埋藏其中，让考生去发掘。所以读懂文本不仅是正确解题的第一步，也是最关键的一步。

　　但是，快速读懂一篇文章却非易事，需要进行大量的阅读习练。高超的阅读真功夫有赖良好的阅读习惯的培养。既要读得快，又要读得懂，良好的阅读习惯是保障。

　　1、阅读的不良习惯

　　要养成良好的阅读习惯，首先要克服阅读的不良习惯。下面我列举了一些常见的阅读不良习惯，对号入座，看你有否。

　　心译：读一句心译一句，句句必须借助汉语译文方能理解；

　　指读：阅读时总是用指头或笔尖等指着句子，边移边读；

　　逐字逐句：一字一句，字字重视，句句关心，生怕漏掉一个单词，眉毛胡子一把抓；

　　见生即查：阅读时欲将生词各个击破，完全扫清阅读障碍，认为只要没有生词，便可洞悉文章；

　　出声：阅读时发出声音，全篇诵读，字字句句，丝毫不拉；

　　唇读：阅读时虽没有发出声音，但唇随句变，词带舌移，只是声带未颤，声音未出；

　　默读：没有出声，也没有唇动舌移，但目光、意识仍在逐句念诵。

　　以上不良习惯要么会打断阅读思维的连贯性，要么会破坏对文本的整体理解，而它们最大的害处就是降低了阅读速度。拿高考来说，共有五篇文章，合理的时间分配是35分钟，再分配到每一篇就只有7分钟了（当然考生可以根据文章难易稍做调整）；可就我的教学经验，罕有学生在35分钟内高质量完成五篇文章；有的同学用了50分钟，有的多达一个小时，还不算上复查的时间。常听到同学抱怨“其实试题并不难，只是时间不够”，这正是阅读的不良习惯使然。

　　2、以意群为单位，成组视读

　　分清意群，停顿娴熟，不仅是朗诵的关键，更是阅读的基本素质。英语阅读时是以意群为单位，而非以单词或词组为单位。成组视读是说用眼睛扫视，不是一个词一个词的去默看，而是向探照灯一样根据意群，一组组的进行扫视，这时额头成了一个通道，被收纳的是信息，而不是词汇。这是一种高超的阅读能力，非以一贯之的坚持和大量的阅读不能够习得。

　　3、首尾在心，紧扣中心

　　任何一位作者都会有自己的写作意图，任何一篇文章都会有自己的中心主旨，而能否明晰作者的写作意图，能否把握文章的主旨，是理解一篇文章的关键，也是阅读水平高低的体现。为了考察考生对文章的理解程度和阅读水平，出题者必然会以各种方式对作者的写作意图与文章的主旨要义进行考察。一般来说，文章的主旨经常会被表述在文章的首尾中，首尾既包括文章的首段尾段，又包括每一段的段首句和段尾句。要想快速把握文章中心，文本之首尾段和各段之首尾句是最佳切入点，因此同学们应格外注意它们。

　  例如：

　　What's the main idea of the last paragraph？

　　A. It's important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.

　　B. It's impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.

　　C. It's hard to collect informatin for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest.

　　D. It's necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate.

　　该段首句是“Unfortunately， getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult.”它正是该段的主题句，C选项正是对其它的同意转述，当然是正确答案。

　　再如：

　　What is the main purpose of the text？

　　A. To provide travel information.　　　　　　　　　　B. To report some recent news.

　　C. To teach tourists hiking skills.　　　　　　　　　　D. To introduce the wild life.

　　本文第一段是：“Five million people visit Grand Canyon in the US every year. For the purpose of helping project Grand Canyon for your fellow visitors and future generations， please follow the guidelines below.”本文是开篇点题的典型之作。借用短语“For the purpose of…”，作者清晰明了的表述了自己的写作目的：为了方便游客及后来人尽揽大峡谷风貌，请遵守如下旅游须知。由此可见，为游客提供游览信息是本文的主旨，故答案为A.

　　4、学会跳读，心中有图

　　阅读理解要做到心中既有森林，又有树木，既要统揽全文，又要主次有别。跳读即可用来通读全文，了解大意，又可用来搜寻细节，锁定被考察信息——如此既把握了整体，又不会忽视细节。在跳读时一定不要借用母语翻译，而要通过情景想象、提纲列表、重点连线、简图示意等手段来梳理文章脉络，使之直观化、形象化、具体化。

　　以09年中考安徽卷B篇为例，我们可以将重点表达先进行连线：a happy new mother——a baby without ears——was called freak——someone donated his/her ears——a new person appeared——married and lived a happy life——his mother‘s body without ears；再对文本进行情景联想，一出由伟大的母亲、无耳的畸形男孩和老成持重的爸爸三人联合演绎的动情故事便会顿时跃入脑海，一幕幕催人泪下的感人场景便会浮现在眼前。

　　5、善于猜测词义

　　各类考试都允许出现3%的超纲词汇，这些词汇往往文中都会给出暗示，考生可以根据上下文来推断他们的意思；有些其后则会紧跟其同位语，直接对其进行解释说明；有的词汇（多数为名词）只需判定它是某类事物即可，比如人名、地名、某类动、植物等等，而无须弄明白其具体意思；有些词真是猜不出意思也不必太在意，因为一、两个词不认识根本不会对文章理解带来障碍，一定不能因之而恐慌，从而影响发挥。对于词义猜测试题中的超纲词，文中肯定会对其进行或解释、或同义、或暗示，只要细心，只要思路开阔，就一定能发现线索，确定其含义。

　　比如：

　　What does the word “domestic” mean in paragraph two？

　　A. producing energy.

　　B. Fast driving.

　　C. On the road.

　　D. For family use.

　　只要注意到划线单词domestic之后小横线“－”后的“it is used only in th home”， 就很容易做出判断，选择D项。

　　当然，Rome wasn‘t built in a day，养成良好的阅读习惯不是一朝一夕的事，它需要耐心、恒心和自制力，只要拥有这“二心一力”，勇于坚持，敢于挑战，方法得当，一个良好的阅读习惯一定会为你所有。

　　二、定

　　“定”——“定区间”。能够圈定各题答案的范围。

　　出题者一般都是根据文本的某一段，或某一段的某一句，或某一句的某一词，或根据隐藏在字里行间的作者的暗示进行题设。这就要求做题时要进行回想、返查，锁定与问题相关信息的所在区域，为正确解题打基础。这个过程就像捉迷藏一样，要想找到文本中躲藏的“猫猫”，就必须对藏躲“猫猫”的区域谙熟于心，进而准确定位，圈定范围，定能一抓一个准。

　　以09年高考湖北卷为例，第59题是询问手表销售在年轻人群中销量下滑的原因。文章的第一段就是在阐述这个问题，是本题的大区间；确切到句，第五句 “All these devices tell the time—which is why ， if you look around， you‘ll see lots of empty wrists；” （所有这些东西都可告诉我们时间——这正是如果你想周围看看的话，那么多人手腕空空的缘由。）是本题的题源所在，也是本题的答案选项A（have other devices to tell the time）的根据所在；再如本篇第61题，题干问通过文章我们对瑞士表业有何了解，文章的第四段说的都是瑞士高档手表的再发明、巨额广告等相关事宜；本段最后一句指出Rolexes， Patek Philippe和Breitling三个牌子的手表具体销售对象之三种人（周末休闲登山者，富人和贵族家庭出身的人，驾驶飞机环球旅游家），这三种人必定都是有钱人，所以选择A（It targets rich people as its potential customers.）自然在情理之中了。

　　总的来说，每个问题都对应于文本中的某个区间，或显或隐，或大或小，或段或句或词，考生要擦亮眼睛，善于定位，为找到答案的根据做好必要且充分的准备。

　　三、划

　　“划”——“划根据”。作答时理由要充分，并在文章中划出解题依据。

　　能够在文本中划出解题根据是正确解题的关键，更是阅读理解不丢分的保障。猎人有句行话，叫“不见兔子不撒鹰”，在这儿我要告诉各位同学，在做阅读理解时要做到“不见根据不做题”。理由充分，根据凿实，这是“不仅知其然，而且知其所以然”的超高境界，是阅读水平提高的最大见证。从这种意义上讲，“划”字诀是“重、定、划、看、防、读”六字真诀之尤为重要者。

　　四、看

　　“看”——“看转换”。注意同一意思的不同表述（同意转述）。

　　英语语言相当丰富，同一意思会有多种不同表达，以避免语言表述上的单调重复。考试中常见的题型“同意改写”就是考察学生的这一能力的。以句型“决定做某事”为例，英语中就有不下就中表达：

　　1. decide to do sth.

　　2. make a decision to do sth.

　　3. determine to do sth.

　　4. be determined to do sth.

　　5. make a determination to do sth

　　6. resolve to do sth.

　　7. make a resolution to do sth.

　　8. make up one's mind to do sth.

　　9. set one's mind to do sth.

　　出题者设计试题时总会用不同的语言结构对文本中的某些信息进行同意转述。有的转述会很明显，可以一目了然；但也不乏隐含很深的转述，比如07年高考上海卷D篇第78题，答案 “the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailored.（C）”就是对文中第七段第二句“They（指the carboard houses） can be personalized and…”的转述, user-tailored（特制的）和文本中的personalized（特制的）是同义词，但由于词汇难度大而使这个转换隐藏颇深，不容易被识破。

　　下表中我整理了一些有关同意转换的范例，供同学们参考、领悟。

　　五、防

　　“防”——“防陷井”。锁定是“true”还是“not true”，辨明形近词。

　　英语阅读中的陷阱设置最常见的有两种，判断对错真假型和词形相近型。对于判断对错真假型，考生做题前一定要认真审题，看准是“true”还是“not true”，是“right”还是“wrong”，然后才着手解题。可能会有同学认为，这么简单的事怎么会错？其实不然，在考场高度紧张的情况下，什么事情都会发生。试想你身边有过多少同学曾因把“true”与“not true”看反而懊恼不已，顿足捶胸？

　　对于词形相近型要做只有两个字“细心”，三思而后选。只要细心，此类陷阱就会很容易被识破。如07年高考全国二卷A篇第45题很多同学选择了A，原因主要是他们把“lonely”看成了“lovely”，这正是出题人设置的陷阱所在，因为 “lonely”与“lovely”只有一个字母之差，词形相近，很容易被看混。但只要稍加留意，避免此误也不是难事。

　　归根到底，“防”的主要对象是自己，防止慌张，防止粗心大意，防止那些“想当然”的想法，防止自己的骄傲情绪——只要沉着应对，处处留心，任何陷阱都会被识别发现的。

　　六、读

　　“读”——“读全项”。做判断时要通读每一题的所有选项，区分鉴别，选择最佳。

　　阅读理解是从三个或四个选项中选出一个最佳选项，解题时考生要通读所有选项，比较鉴别，确定最佳。切不可挑读臆断，匆匆作答。比如做判断对错真假型试题时，选项中会有“一对三错”或“三对一错”，通读全项就会补救误读题干所造成的过失。

【参考范文12】

Amy Chua, a professor at Yale Law School, who listed ten “Don’ts” to her two daughters became famous overnight. She insists that parents should be very strict with their children. It has caused a heated online debate.

      Some parents insist that children should make every effort to live up to their parents’ expectations. They believe it is necessary to be strict with their children. They say parents who set high standards and push their kids to study and make achievements can ensure their children’s success in the future competition.

Others, on the contrary, hold the opinion that children should have the right to make their own decisions and develop in their own way. Additionally, praise the children when they do well and encourage them when they are faced with challenges, and they will be great.

In my opinion, those who are raised with the strict Chinese parenting style don’t have the ability to think and act independently. They lack imagination, creativity and social skills. Parents should not put so much pressure on the children. Just give them suggestions and show respect to their own choices so that they will learn to be independent.

Have a healthy lifestyle

As we all know, health is very important. Only when we are healthy can we study w ell and enjoy life.

However, many teenagers don’t pay any attention to their health, especially during the holiday. And they spend too much time watching TV, playing games and chatting on the Internet all night, which is bad for their health. First, this may make them get near-sighted. Besides, their bodies become much weaker. Thirdly, they will lose the chance to communicate with others face to face as they never go out, which may have a bad effect on their mental health.

In my opinion, they should spend less time in front of the TV or the computer. Go out to take some exercise, play some sports and visit some friends and have a healthy lifestyle.

What does beauty really mean? Everybody has his own definition.

Some students think that a good face is a letter of recommendation. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, competition, finding jobs and so on. Not only can it help you become more confident, but also it helps you be impressed. Physical beauty is likely to draw much attention.

Others, however, hold the idea that good appearance will buy no beef. Inner beauty is more important. A beautiful person is not the one with good looks, but the one with a broad and kind heart.

In my opinion, the standard of beauty changes with societies, cultures and nations. Some hold the point that good appearance is of great importance, which is visible to all. Others have the idea that inner beauty is the loveliest one, which lasts long. However different they might be, their opinions are all acceptable.

SAVE EARTH, SAVE US

With the development of modern society, pollution caused by human activities is becoming a more and more serious problem.

Smoke from factories and gases from vehicles are the main reasons for air pollution. Rivers are polluted when people throw waste into them, or when factories pour waste water into them. Modern lifestyle and modern ways of production also cause noise pollution. As a result, many species are dying out. More and more people are suffering from health problems.

Enough attention should be paid to this problem and measures should be taken. Firstly, we should make laws to prevent factories from pouring waste water into rivers and sending smoke into the air without being dealt with. Secondly, we should raise people’s awareness of the serious problem and call on more people to protect the environment. Only by working together can we help the environment!

Good afternoon! It’s my pleasure to briefly introduce my school life regarding two aspects, independent learning and cooperative learning.

Independent learning is a basic principle of my school education. At one level it encourages us to work out plans and arrange our timetable, in which case we improve our independent thinking and management skills. On another level, it presents us with a block of work in which we are developing strategies.

Meanwhile, we are making great attempt to create a cooperative-learning environment, where we are encouraged to work in groups. Within group work, we are guided to voice our individual opinions, listen to each other and respect each other.

Independent learning and cooperative learning form a key feature of my school education and they prove to be a great benefit to our overall development in the long run.

That’s all for my introduction. We’re eager to know about your school life so that we could better learn from each other.

Thank you.

We Should Pay Much Attention to Details

Some people may think that one who wants to achieve great success shouldn’t pay much attention to details. But sometimes it is the details that determine our success, for they may be the very thing that has a great impact on what we’re doing.

Since we have realized the importance of details, what should we do? First, we should form the habit of being careful, because a careful person will rarely overlook details. What’s more, we should learn to keep the balance of quantity and quality. We may find that when faced with lots of work, the faster we do it, the more mistakes we will make. Why? Because when we work at high speed, the only thing we care about is quantity in which case we are more likely to neglect the details.

As far as I’m concerned, we should keep it in mind that quality comes first, without which quantity is of no significance.

Dear Editor,

I’m a senior high school student, named Li Hua. Now many students have iPods and think it’s a fashion to use them. Using an iPod , we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read them on the screen. Apparently, it is helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.

Some students, however, bring their iPods to classroom and listen to music with earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. What’s worse, some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.

In my opinion, as a student, we should make good use of iPod to help achieve academic success. Classroom is a place for students to study, and therefore concentration is awfully needed fo r us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPods in a proper way.

Yours sincerely,

Instead, I felt guilty and it bothered me for a long time. What was worse, I was afraid that my friends would know about it and trust me no longer. So from then on, I have been determined never to be dishonest. Otherwise I will be looked down upon and lose all my friends.

As you can see from my experience, if you are honest, you can say and do what you like without fear. In conclusion, to be honest will ensure you a happy life.

有些高中生有时与同学发生这样或那样的矛盾或冲突，这些问题会给大家带来烦恼甚至影响大家的学习。请你用英语写一篇120词左右的短文，分析一下产生矛盾或冲突的原因，并谈谈应如何正确地与同学相处。

【参考范文24】

Classmate conflicts among senior middle school students are often heard on campus over recent years. These conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.

     Classmate conflicts often rise from daily tiny things such as space where to store books or notes. When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear classmates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts. Besides, the fact that classmates hold different attitudes towards certain issues is another factor causing these conflicts.
     Classmate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise. Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts result from misunderstanding.

Is Failure a Bad Thing?

Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are various. Some people don’t think their failure is so important. So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they will have the same failure some time later. Some people think they are fools and lose their hearts in everything after they get a failure. Consequently, they would feel disappointed and they may really be fools as they have thought.

Other people, instead of being sad and lost, draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. It is said that failure is the mother of success. So long as we are good at drawing lessons from our failures, success isn’t a dream any more.

In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, but the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even losing heart after failure.

【参考范文29】

（ 1 ）

        I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. As we all know, a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well. Cl asses taught in English provide students with such an environment. When English is the only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunities listening and speaking. Therefore, they will be able to learn more quickly.

        However, there are some problems with this teaching method. As we haven’t mastered enough English words, sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the teacher. Slow learners may even lose interest in English.

        Practice makes perfect. To learn English well requires a lot of practice. Therefore, I like my English classes to be taught completely in English.

（ 2 ）

        I prefer my English classes to be taught in both Chinese and English. In my opinion, learning English is a step-by-step process. As middle school students, we only have a small vocabulary. If the teacher can use some Chinese in an English class, we will understand the lesson better.

        Of course, an English class taught in two languages has its shortcomings. Such a class cannot create a good atmosphere for English learning. Some students will speak Chinese all the time and cannot learn English well.

        If you want to lea rn a lesson well, you have to understand it first. To help students understand the lesson better, the teacher should use Chinese from time to time. Therefore, I like my teacher to use both English and Chinese in teaching.

冲刺阶段考生容易出现的“八大误区”与对策

     随着高考的逐渐拉近，现在高三学生已经进入了冲刺阶段。越到后期，越容易出现一些误区。如果对这些误区没有足够的认识或无法及时走出这些误区，其结果只能是功亏一篑，无法实现心中的目标。根据高三老师多年的观察和分析，考生在冲刺阶段往往容易出现以下误区。为此，必须及时引起注意并采取相应的对策。
     误区1：患得患失，浮躁不安

     由于后期缺乏努力方向和具体的复习计划，再加上期望值又比较高，所以倍感压力，无法安心复习。
     对策：正确认识后期复习的重要性，明确方向，排除杂念，合理定位，调好心态，落实计划，扎实备考。
     误区2：失去信心，随便应付

     由于一模、二模、三模都没有考好，所以完全失去信心，无心恋战，随波逐流，毫无意义地耗费时间。
     对策：正确对待模拟考试成绩，客观评价自己的实力。后期信心比黄金更重要，只要付出努力就有回报。不要错误和别人比较，做最好的自己，做最合适的练习。

     误区3：加班加点，争分夺秒

     由于觉得时间不多，所以超常付出脑力劳动，作息时间混乱，复习失控，缺乏平衡放松意识，结果精神状态不佳，复习效果低下。
     对策：尊重规律，注重平衡调节。后期学会平衡和放松很重要。不要提前透支，把最好的状态调到高考。每天坚持适当的文体活动，调好适应高考的生物钟。
     误区4：狂做套题，错位投入

     误认为后期的主要任务就是做套题，特别是各地的高考模拟试题。即使效果不明显，还是屡败屡战，结果出现“错误投资”，欲速则不达。
     对策：正确认识做套题的主要作用，一是练状态，二是练速度，三是练规范。一周不要超过一套套题，应该把更多的时间放在基础复习和巩固方面。
     误区5：忽视错题，忽视细节

     误认为错题已经成为历史，错误不会再现，结果把错题丢在一边。另外，忽视考试中因不注意规范细节而导致的失分，结果导致考试旧错再现，后悔莫及。
     对策：越到后期，越要抓住错题不放松，越要注重细节和规范。少错就等于多得，规范和细节往往决定成败。
     误区6：重“能”轻“基”，本末倒置

     误认为后期重点是提升能力，结果对课本主干知识和基本考点不屑一顾，结果导致基础题丢分。
     对策：要正确处理好能力与基础的关系。到了冲刺阶段，应该说巩固基础、熟悉考点比单纯通过做题来提升能力更实在也更有效。再说，任何能力的形成都离不开基础。熟悉课本主干知识，熟悉基本考点更重要。
     误区7：心存侥幸，迷信信息

     盲目相信来自外部的所谓的高考命题信息或内部秘密（特别是来自一些社会上的高考辅导班的信息），喜欢猜题或押题，结果白费心思，竹篮打水一场空。
     对策：正确对待外来的信息，后期最忌来自外部的干扰。要相信自己，相信老师，相信学校。
     误区8：我行我素，迷失方向

     误认为老师后期的指导不重要，喜欢自己搞一套，闭门造车，脱离集体，孤军奋战。
     对策：正确认识后期备考方向、备考氛围和备考指导的重要性，正确处理好学校复习安排与个人复习计划的关系，学会分享、快乐备考。如果没有什么特殊情况，尽量和其他同学在课室一起复习，共同愉快地度过最后的冲刺阶段。
