Sports

Just as lots of teenagers take to pop music, I love basketball. It’s part of my life. I began to play basketball in my childhood. I still remember the good old days when I played with my classmates after school. Later on, as I grew up, almost everything changed, but this sport-playing basketball remained and my love of it grew even stronger.

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.

1. 使用手机的好处。2. 使用手机的弊端。3. 我的看法。

My Opinion on Cell Phones

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 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 heath.

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.

1.随着工业化(industrialization)的推进，地球上的淡水(fresh water)越来越少。

2.生命没水就要消亡(disappear)，因此人类要珍惜(treasure)淡水。

3.我们如何节约用水。

Water and Life

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 everyone of us should do his bit to save water.

A Get-together on May 1st

April 15, 2007

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?

I have been a middle school teacher in my hometown since graduation. Teaching always keeps me busy, but I like my students and I love teaching, you know. So everything is fine here. There will be a former classmates’ getting together during this May Day holiday at my school.

You are my best friend. I never forget those happy days we spent together. I hope you can come to my school when the time is due and you are free.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours truly,

Li Hua

1.列举人们在公共场所的不良现象。

2.对其中某一种现象陈述你的看法，并简单说明理由。

Bad Manners in Public

Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced being 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 tourists attractions, let alone spit on the street. In the cinema, some audience 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.

Please let me know as soon as possible once you get the book.

My best wishes.

Yours truly,

选择想旅游的地点，安排旅游计划。1想去旅游的地点2为什么选择这个地点3描述旅行计划

Dear John,

I am going to visit Chaozhou next week. Chaozhou is a beautiful historic city. I have been there several times. But I have not visited its famous Kaiyuan Temple, the largest temple in Chaoshan region and its Boat Bridge, which is over one thousand years old. Both the Kaiyuan Temple and the Boat Bridge were re-decorated last year. My friends and I will set off early in the morning and come back late in the afternoon.

I hope you can join

Best wishes, Yuan Peng

The Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year is also called the Spring Festival. It falls on January or February. Like Christmas, it is also a family members will sit together, enjoying a ‘reunion’ dinner. On the New Year’s Day, friends and relatives will call on each other, exchanging best wishes for good health, good fortune and good luck. Nowadays, these New Year visits are often replaced by telephone calls, text messages or emails among young people. The Now Year celebrations may last several days.

The Job I Like

Everybody has his dream for his career in the future. He or she might want to be a teacher, a doctor, a scientist, and so on. My ideal job is to be a lawyer. Lawyers, especially those familiar with international laws and fluent in foreign languages, will be in great demand. I have a good eye for detail, a sharp mind and an excellent memory. So I think I would make a good lawyer. I am planning to open a lawyer firm by myself some day. But now I have to study hard to achieve my goal.

Why I Like Learning English

I like learning English. This is become I can do many more things if I master English. English is a world language. If you know English, you can go anywhere in the world, make a lot more friends, and learn more about the world we live in. For me, I like to learn English mainly because I need to use English at work. I am doing export business and have clients all over the world. So English helps me do my work better. As a matter of fact, I earn more because I know English.

My Family Life

Like most ordinary Chinese families, my family life is busy and meaningful. My family members often get up at about 6:30 am. I drive my daughter to her school, then I go to my work. My wife takes subway to her company. Around 4:30 pm, I pick up my daughter and do some grocery shopping. My wife is good at cooking. So when we arrive home, a delicious meal is waiting for us. During the eating, we chat about the interesting things in the daytime. After the supper, we watch TV program a while and go to bed at 10 pm.

Health and Wealth

Health and Wealth , which one is more important? Different people have different opinions about it. Some think that wealth means everything. With a lot of money, they can buy a big house, an expensive car, beautiful clothes, and so on. On the other hand, some other people believe that health is more important than wealth. A healthy body is the foundation for a successful career and the base for getting wealth.

For me, I think health is much more important than wealth, it is unwise to spend one’s health buying his wealth.
