We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.
By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. We would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from time to time.
Dear editor,
I’m Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School. I’m writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.

I am Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School. I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.
First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.
Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:20

This form displays the result of a survey on how to spend students’ weekend. It says that few students are glued to their schoolwork any more. Instead, they prefer to surf on the internet, watch TV, go shopping rather than involve in sports games. Library and interest groups are available but not favourable.
Personally I think, students are now freed from heavy burden but their spare time is not well arranged. They are expected to spend some time on what they learn instead of hanging out. More time should be spent not only on green field but also in the libraries to build up themselves physically and mentally. Besides, more interest groups should be established for students to widen their horizon and sharpen their brains so that they can become more creative eventually. All these will contributes a lot to a well-informed and highly qualified teenager.
In conclusion, students should be more scheduled with colorful and fruitful activities.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:20

Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:20

跨海大桥
中国正在修建珠港澳垮海大桥，在社会上有人支持也不乏有反对之音。请你根据以下提示，就其利弊写一篇120词左右的英语短文，并提出自己的观点。1、创多项之最，最长(全长50公里)，最难(技术难度极大)；2、整体工程耗资巨大，该项目投资总额高达726亿元,如果有这笔预算的话，投资在国内的贫困地区，可以帮助很多贫困的人们；3,对周围自然环境将产生负面影响；4、建成后可实现港珠澳一小时经济圈，有利于各自优势互补，加快本地区经济发展；5、对“一国二制”的顺利实施具有重大深远意义；6、建成后，要求其做到最靓，成为一座标志性建筑，并成为富有吸引力的景点。
提示词：一国二制One country, two systems；珠港澳大桥Zhuhai Hong Kong and Macao Bridge，一小时经济圈One-hour economic circle
It’s well-known to us that the Zhuhai Hong Kong and Macao Bridge is being built in China. Of course it is not only well praised but also resulting in much doubt as well. Its advantages and disadvantages can be listed as follows.
Some hold the view that it is 50 kilometers long(the longest bridge in the world)and it must be a big challenge for the engineers to overcome the technical problems . Besides, the investment of the whole project is up to 72.6 billion. If we use the huge money for the western poor areas, we can help them to live a better life to some degree. Finally, it will have a negative effect on the natural environment.
However, it is true that some show much support to the project. They have sufficient reasons for it.Firstly,after finishing the project, the one-hour economic circle will be realized and the local economy of all sides can benefit each other. Secondly,the bridge will be required to be the best one and become a landmark which is an attractive scenic spot. Most important of all, there will be a profound and significant meaning to carry out “one country, two systems”smoothly.
Personally speaking, building the bridge brings more advantages than disadvantages, so I am in favor of it.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:20

43 percent of the people choose the event that HuangFurong who came from HongKong sacrificed his own life to save the students and teachers in ruins.24% support the electricity worker who died of overwork to restore the electricity supply owing to public service.20% are in favor of an old man who made a living by performing in the street in ShenZhen but donated his money to the disaster area twice.13% choose the event that the school at which nobody was injured in the earthquake resumed classes quickly and was called the proudest one.
Different people have different ideas.I will choose the event concerned with HuangFurong.It is my honor to introduce some backgrounds about him.He once participated in the rescue of WenChuan earthquake in 2008.He himself was not healthy enough.But he insisted on public service diligently without any payment for many years .Though not rich, he tried his best to help the people who need help,especially the poor.He was awarded the honorary citizen of HongKong after his death by Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.To spread his spirit,the young in Hong Kong form an organization named after him now.He is called Afu, according to Chinese custom and he will be remembered by all the Chinese people.In my view,Afu is a hero who can move me to tears .Only by learning from him and doing something to help others,can we make contributions to a better society.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:20
哥本哈根联合国气候会议
As world leaders are in Copenhagen （哥本哈根）this month，talks about climate change are gathering steam. But is climate change the most pressing threat（威胁）for mankind？
Write an essay to show your opinions on the most immediate threat for mankind.
Directions：
1. About 200 words
2. Support your position with reasoning and examples.
3. Give the essay a proper title by yourself
Love Makes Beauty
With the fantastic spur both in industry and economy，the past 100 years has seen how modernization and civilization has affected mankind. Recently，Copenhagen is being a focus for its Climate Change Conference. A majority of people hold the belief that climate change is the pressing threat for mankind.
However，acknowledging the great abundance of harms that the changing climate will bring，I‘d say the most immediate threat is just ourselves. I always imagine a view of life filled with fresh air and various flowers swung in gentle wind. But the reality shows this is a real fantasy. With the fantastically developing industry and the rising number of personal cars，not only the air but also the water is at risk universally. For example，what used to be a pride for Ruianees was Tang River，the clean and clear mother river of Ruian. But with time going by，it was seriously polluted and gradually turned into the biggest block of development. What upsets us most is that such a situation is spreading countryside. It seems that citizens on the earth care little about their land，which directly causes further consequences.
How can we deal with environmental problems？There is no doubt that this topic is complicated and unstable as well. But the irreplaceable way，in my thought，is love，love for the earth. It is love that makes beauty，and nothing else will do.
Some say love is a river that drowns the tender reed；some say love is a hunger，an endless，aching need. I say love is a flower，and you，are the only seed.
Heal the world
Nowadays，world leaders are in Copenhagen talking about climate change. Who has such a strong power to gather them from busy work？It‘s our mother——the Earth that has told her kids to start to heal the environment for the pressing threats they are facing now.
It‘s commonly thought that lots of countries are blind to the protection of environment while developing the country. And as the quality of life has developed，many families have its own car. As a result，more and more CO2 has caused the earth to be a “Green House”。If no measure is taken，a large number of kids won’t see the lovely and beautiful snow in winter before long.
To my delight，some people have been concerned about the environment. The movie <<2012>> is just a good example. It took me 150 minutes to watch the movie. At the same time，I spent a long time considering the meaning which the movie wants to tell people. When the world is at an end，can anyone heal themselves？It‘s obvious that the answer is No. It’s commonly accepted that what the director wants to tell people is that we should take measures to beautify the environment at once or we‘ll die soon.
In a word，the environment pollution is a matter of life and death——a matter no country can afford to ignore. People all over the world are supposed to spare no effort to heal the world. Let‘s take action from here and now！作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:21
有关“网络”话题
例1：报纸和网站是当今两大主要媒体。请根据下表内容，以“Newspapers and Websites”为题，用英语写一篇短文，简要介绍这两种媒体的优缺点。
报 纸
1. 传统媒体，天天更新，信息可靠
2. 携带方便，随时随地可以阅读
3. 仅有文字和图片
网 站
1. 新兴媒体，信息更新速度快
2. 依赖于电脑及互联网
3. 包含文字、图片、音频和视频
注意：1. 短文必须包括表中所有内容，可以适当发挥；
2. 词数：100-120
3. 参考词汇：更新update；音频audio；视频video
Newspapers and Websites
Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and information. But they’re different in some ways.
Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.
On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.
八：目前，一些诸如GG, MM, Xia Mi 等网络语言在青少年中极为盛行，并且出现在家庭作业报告，甚至全国入学考试的作文中。请你以“Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited (禁止)？”为题，根据下表内容用英语写一篇短文，并谈谈你自己的看法。
一些同学认为：网络语言生动、时尚，网络语言充满幽默与智慧，使网上聊天更快捷。
另一些同学认为：网络语言缺乏思想性，没有被大部分人理解、接受，过多使用使人不解，甚至误解？
你的看法
注意：1. 短文开头已经给出，不计入总词数；2. 词数：100左右
3. 参考词汇：生动的vivid；智慧intelligence
Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?
At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG, MM, Xia Mi”，has become popular among the teenagers.
There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.
However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.
Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:21
生态游
假如你上周末参加了某旅行社组织的所谓生态游，你觉得名不副实。请你根据下表内容把自己经历的这次生态游和对真正生态游的看法写出来。
所谓的生态游：
欣赏风景，享受新鲜空气
有人摘花、捉鸟、乱扔垃圾
真正的生态游
享受自然，同时也是一种责任
要保护自然，保护野生动物
带走美好回忆，留下青山绿水
Last weekend I went on an eco-travel with a travel agency. All the way we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and fresh air. But a few of us picked flowers as while going sightseeing. Some even tried to catch the birds they saw. What was worse, many tourists threw rubbish here and there. The rubbish may do harm to wildlife there.
I don’t think this is a true eco-travel. A true eco-travel is a tour that not only allows us to express our love for nature, but needs our responsibility as well. As we enjoy the beauty of nature, we should try our best to protect it. And we should also try to protect wildlife. A true eco-travel should be like this: take nothing away but your good memory; leave nothing behind but all the green trees and the clean water.
Recently graffiti has become more noticeable in my college. I feel quite annoyed at them, especially when some of my classmates praise them as a kind of so-called art. Confronted with this impolite phenomenon, I can’t help asking myself: what is wrong with today’s teenagers?
In my opinion, graffiti is a form of vandalism. They are a mess and are ugly to look at. Meanwhile, walls are public places, and they should not be used to express personal views and feelings.
I really think vandalism should be stopped, and those who refuse to stop this bad practice should be punished. We should clear away these ugly expressions and drawings so that our college may return to its true self--a clean, quiet place for study, teaching and research.
This letter is a complaint concerning the actions of one of your salespersons. On Tuesday, May 5, 2012, around 2 P.m.., I went to your store to look for a T-shirt. When I asked a salesperson, Ms. Wang for help in finding my size, she informed me that she was busy and I would have to find one myself. I explained that the reason why I came to her was that I couldn’t find one. She then said in a rude tone that if I couldn’t find one, it meant that the store didn’t have it, and that I needed to look somewhere else.
I felt that Ms Wang was rude. I hope that you will look into the matter: I shop frequently at your store and I look forward to a more pleasurable shopping experience next time.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:21
高考后的打算
After the college entrance examination, some students would like to have a trip, because they think the blue sky and the charming scenery can make them relax. Some others prefer to stay at home to enjoy the matches of the 2012 Olympic Games, which they have been longing for. And also there are some students who intend to observe and learn from real life. They consider that they will really step into society after passing the college entrance examination. As for me, I plan to learn a skill such as driving, which I think will be useful in the future.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:21
邀请函
Congratulations on your passing all the exams. I am delighted you have really made great progress in your two years of studying in China. All you have gained is the result of your hard work. We are proud of you and we all appreciate your help with our English We'll always remember the wonderful time we spent together.
It's pity that you have to go back soon! So a farewell party for you will be held in Room 302 in the Sun Club this Saturday evening. Could you come by 6:00 p.m.? We'll have dinner together. By the way，you may take Bus No. 332 in front of your hotel and it will take you directly to the club.
I wish you success and fulfillment in the years ahead!
On behalf of the University Students' Union, I, the Chairman of the Union , am earnestly calling for your active participation in our environmental protection campaign. It is the duty of every global villager; man just can not sustain his glorious civilization without a rewarding environment, which will be possible only if man makes considerable efforts to protect the environment.
Do you cherish precio us opportunities to volunteer in our joint efforts in environmental protection? Here is a great one not to be missed by any enthusiastic youth; Right next Saturday, our university is to run a publicity campaign to advocate environmental protection across the city. The University Students' Union will be in charge of recruitment of volunteers. Let's join our hands and take action immediately.
High school is regarded as the best time in a person's life. As a senior three student, it won't take long before I graduate. Now, I have much to share with my fellow students.
Firstly, I would like to show my appreciation to those standing by me all the way, teachers, parents and friends included. Without their help and advice, my life would be different. Secondly, it's high time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood. Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all, I've made up my mind to make every effort to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes, "no pains, no gains."
Finally I hope that all the younger fellows can make full use of time, because time and tide wait for no men.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:22

This Sunday we'll go to the nursing home and do some voluntary labor. You were out, when I dropped in on you. Therefore, I had to leave a message to you. According to what monitor said, we'll meet at the gate of our school at 9:30 tomorrow morning and start out together by bike. So you should take your bike and don't forget to take some washing powder, barber tools and weeding tools so that we can help them with washing clothes, cutting their hair and get rid of some weed in the garden. At last, you should remember to take some food for lunch because we'll stay there for chatting with them at noon. If you come back, you'll phone me at once.
We middle school students have had many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure.
Some fall in low spirits when they don't do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They found out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:22
南方旱灾
The drought in the south-west China has lasts for several months, which makes people face water and food scarcity. We should learn lessons from it.
The drought can be cause by several factors. Firstly, about 63 percent of cities in China are facing water scarcity. The situation is worsened by pollution and industrialization. In addition, too many trees have been cut down, so forest coverage has been decreasing rapidly. What's more, some water conservation projects haven't been functioning properly, thus people there have had to rely more heavily on rainfall for their water supply. Most of China's irrigation systems are very old.
In order to prevent this case coming about again, we should improve our awareness of saving water, making proper use of water and recycling water. Meanwhile, we ought to plant more trees and protect environment to prevent loss of water and soil erosion. Of course, the governments should increase investment and repair water conservation projects as timely as possible.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:22
俗语写作
An old saying "The early bird will catch worms" reminds us that if people want to be successful and outstanding, they must plan ahead of time and make their efforts to overcome all the possible difficulties.
For example, the Chinese athletes' excellent performance in 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver is definitely the result of their early planning and hard training. If they don' t set the aim and word work, even though they have the best talents, they can't compete with others and get more medals.
Another case in point is my learning experience. I was good at English, but I couldn't pass the exam, for I wasn't prepared well before the examination. I had many things to solve at that time. As I met the complex things, I was at a loss. The reason was that I had no plan and involved in many things and didn't study more hard, so I failed.
In short, the saying shows us the important of planning, working hard and constantly trying.作者: admin 时间: 2013-6-10 12:22
网上交友
I've learned it from the Internet that you want to make a Chinese friend so as to learn the Chinese language and culture. I'm glad that you show such great interest in China and I would like to be your friend.
I will try my best to write to you as often as possible to introduce you the Chinese culture. When you have an opportunity to come to China, I'll teach you how to speak Chinese and show you around some famous historical places of interest. Anyway, I am going to help you as much as I can. How do you think?
