 IV. Written Work

Write a short passage of about 160-200words on any of following topics.

1.      The changes Vera found in her former lover when they met again six years later .

2.      Why Vera broke off with her lover six years ago and how she realized that it was impossible for them to pick up their romantic relationship when they met again.

(for your reference)

    The reason for Vera to break off their relationship six years before and after was that the man was to self-engrossed and insensitive to show his concerns to others, what’s more, he even blamed this self-involvement on Vera’s part as well.

    During the conversation, the man concentrated most on himself, taking a lot about his traveling experience around the world, totally ignoring the obvious fact that Vera was now living in a plight.

    In all, it is the man’s total incomprehension of Vera’s feeling and his overdue self-involvement that made Vera determined to break off their relationship and leave him again in the end.
