Directions: Examine the graph carefully. Write a composition according to the information given.

The sports programs enjoy a boom among TV viewers. According to the above graph, 78 percent of TV viewers frequently watch Sports, which is obviously far ahead of other televised events. News follows second with 68 percent of viewers, compared with 54 percent Movie watchers. Documentary seems to be more preferable among people than Specials does, with 42 percent and 20 percent respectively.

A passion for sports has taken possession of thousands of people. One of the reasons perhaps is that sports provide an outlet for pent-up emotions. People extract themselves from routine life and fully express their feelings towards sports. Stimulated by the excitement, they applaud for the victory and hold their breath for the exhilarating competition. In a sense, sports are a heaven for people to escape from boredom and tension.

Enthusiasm for sports also reflects people?s desire to transcend geographical and cultural limits. Freed from border and language difference, sports are accessible to everyone. People will no longer be confined to a certain living circle. They can share the same fantasy with the viewers at another hemisphere. Taken by sports, they can float freely from country to country, continent to continent. Sports thus become a common language for all the people throughout the world.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a complaint letter to the manager of a shop where you received a bad service. Your letter should be no less than 120 words. Be sure to express your anger in a suitable way. Remember to write in readable handwriting.

A Letter of Complaint

Dear Manager,

Much to my regret, I write this to place a complaint against one of your shop assistants about his bad service in the course of our shopping in your shop yesterday.

Yesterday about ten o?clock in the morning, my husband, I and a lady friend of ours came to your shop with the intention to buy some souvenirs. One of your shop-assistants, whose badge number was 15 if I remember right, was asked to remove the dust from some of the bronze status in order that our friend might have a good look at these objects before making up her mind to buy. Under the circumstances, it was the assistant?s duty either to do what was asked or explain why he was unable to comply with such a request.

Instead of minding his duty and acting in a polite manner, the assistant turned a deaf ear to our request and walked away murmuring in a sarcastic manner that our friend was foolish in asking for removal of the dust. Great was our embarrassment to meet with such an awkward occasion.

We wish you would look into this unsatisfactory state of affairs and take steps to prevent a recurrence of offensive conduct of this kind. The lady in question has arrived from Japan and it is a pity that she should be led to form an unfavorable impression of the assistants in this city.

SMOKING

It is almost known to all that smoking is bad for People?s health. __________________________

____________________________________________________________________________. Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking ______________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________. Measures have been taken _________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________.

Example

It is almost known to all that smoking is bad for people?s health. Scientific researches show that smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other problem. The World Health Organization says diseases linked to smoking kill at least two million five hundred thousand persons each year. Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is that smoking usually becomes a habitual behavior, and habits, whether good or bad are not easy to be given up. Another reason is the effect of nicotine, the substance found in cigarettes works on people somewhat as drugs do. Measures have been taken to help people keep away from the harm of smoking. In many cities, smoking is forbidden in public places. The danger of smoking is warned of everywhere. And newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes. World “No Tobacco Day”is observed every year as the biggest campaign against smoking.

HOUSING PROBLEM

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition in three paragraphs. You are given the first sentence of the three paragraphs. Your part of the composition should be no less than 100 words, not including the words given. Remember to write clearly. [SAMPLE]

Housing Problem

1.Housing problem comes hand in hand with population growth.

2.Despite the mushrooming high building, the provision of living space still falls far short of

demands.

3.Various solutions have been suggested.

Example

Housing problem comes hand in hand with population growth. Some big cities in China are now encumbered with a rising population. Naturally, one of the most serious problems incurred is that of housing. Despite the mushrooming high building, the provision of living space still falls far short of demands. Since the world is advancing, people are no longer reconciled to living in shabby shelters. They look forward to decent dwelling places, which can protect human dignity.

Various solutions have been suggested. But there seems to b e a drawback to each of the solutions. The traditional free allocation of dwellings to the needy brings great economic burden to the government, while paid allocation brings equal burden to the average people. The moving of urban population to the suburbs may ease housing problem in inner city but brings about traffic problem. The best solution seems to be a combination of all suggested solutions. We still have a long way to go.

EXAMINATION

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition about Examination in

three paragraphs. You are given the first sentence of each paragraph and required to develop its idea in completing the paragraph. Writing about 35 words for each paragraph, not including the words given. Therefore, your part of the composition should be about 100 words, Remember to write clearly. [SAMPLE]

You should write this composition on the Answer Sheet.

There are many arguments about the advantages of examination. ________________________. For both examiners and examinees, the examination can show what and how much the exam needs have mastered. ____________________________________________.

In sum, the examination does more good than harm for both examiners and examinees. ________.

Example

There are many arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of examination. Some people think examination is the only best way to test how examinees have mastered what they have studied and it is the only measurement for examiners to select which persons they need. While, on the other hand, some object that examination can?t measure how the students have really studied. They say it can do nothing but burden the students.

As for me, I think for both examiners and examinees, the examination can show what and how much the examinees have mastered. The results of examinations are just like mirrors for both examiners and examinees.

Through examination the examinees can check their work and get aware of which aspects they have not done well, so that they?ll make much improvement in their work. As far as examinees are concerned, they can not only know how they have studied but also find out what they still unknown or what they haven?t mastered well. Thus, they will be inspired to greater efforts to improve their studying method so as to make greater progress. Of course too many examinations are burbens to both examiners and examinees.

In sum, the examination does more good than harm for both examiners and examinees. We must take a correct attitude towards examination. We should take full advantage of it and avoid its disadvantage.

FIGHTING CRIMINALS

Directions: (omitted) [SAMPLE]

Fighting Criminals

1.Today the crime rate in some cities of our country is rising.

2.Faced with criminals,

3.To reduce the crime rate, we all the people should first receive a law education.

Example

Today the crime rate in soe cities of our country is rising. Many citizens often complain about the thefts and robberies that have taken place in the areas they live in and appeal to the governments at all levels to take effective measures to reduce the crime rate.

Faced with criminals, some people are so frightened that they shamelessly give up the fight and other people turn a blind eye to them. However, some people are brave enough, to risk their lives to fight the criminals. Their fearless actions prevented the criminals from doing evils, saved

the victims, and protected the public properties.

To reduce the crime rate, we all the people should first receive a law education. Criminals must be severely punished. Meanwhile we should set up a foundation to reward those who fight criminals. It is also important to call on people to learn from those heroes and encourage more people to stand up to crime.

SCHOOL HOURS

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition in no less than 100 words about “SCHOOL HOURS”, The following words and expressions may be used in your position. [SAMPLE]

Constructive, curriculum, under the supervision tend to, worthwhile pursuits, independent, dislike, bored, dull, listless, extend.

Example

The hours spent at school are always constructive. The curriculum is planned for children to exercise both body and mind. To most parents, longer hours in school would mean that the children are being kept busy, studying or playing under the teacher supervision. Once without supervision at home, many children tend to spend their time in less worthwhile pursuits. For this reason, some people argue that school hours should be made longer.

On the other hand, the children must learn to get away from the school and friends. To think and learn by them is an important way to become independent. Besides, too much of anything can make a person dislike it or become bored. So if we extend school hours, children might become dull or listless or even develop a strong dislike for school.

MY FIRST JOB

Direction: (omitted) [SAMPLE]

MY FIRST JOB

Before I started at university, ______________________________________________________ In a great hurry, _________________________________________________________________ Worst of all was that _____________________________________________________________

Example

Before I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. At the night before my first day, I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result, I got up late in the morning. I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant.

In a great hurry, I didn?t hear clearly the headwaiter?s instruction that we should go into the kitchen through one door and out from the other. So when I took two plates of eggs and bacon and an orange juice out to the restaurant, I went straight towards the wrong door and collided with another waiter coming in!

Worst of all was that I wore a pair of smart shoes but with high heels! A few hours later I was in agony yet had no time to change them. By the time we finished serving dinner at about 10:30 I was completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I learnt something through my experience.

Your part of the composition should be about 110 words. Remember to write clearly. (suggested words and phrases: family planning, the basic state policies, birth control, however, population, increase, people’s living standards, affect, reforms, restress, call on, take action.)

Example

Since the Chinese Government singled out family planning as one of the basic state policies in 1978, the country has adopted various measures and achieved great success in birth control. The total birth rate has been decreasing gradually.

However, at present China?s population is still growing very rapidly. It is reported that every year the population of this country increases by an extra 15 million and China is encountering a birth peak during the 1990s. It is obvious that China?s economic development and improvement of people?s living standards have been and will be greatly affected by the population.

Therefore, to control population growth more strictly is clearly essential to the country?s reforms and economic development. We should restress the importance of birth control and call on the whole nation to make more effective actions.

Example

WEALTH AND HAPPINESS

Direction: (omitted) [SAMPLE]

1.Wealth has always been what some people long for.

2.There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness especially in the modern society, …

3.But there are exceptions when wealth does not go head in hand with happiness.

Example

Wealth has always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labor. Their efforts contribute to the welfare of the society and at the same time to accumulation of their wealth, and hence their happiness.

There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness especially in the modern society, where various kinds of modern conveniences, new fashions and entertainments make their appearances with each passing day to make life more comfortable and colorful. Only money can turn admiration into reality.

But there are exceptions when wealth does not go hand in hand with happiness. Wealth may encourage those weak-willed persons to be addicted to some harmful habit, such as drug-taking or gambling, and bring about their own ruin. Also, a person may lose his reason and go astray if he is passionately devoted to seeking wealth. Therefore, one can never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness.

V ACA TION, LONG OR SHORT

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “VACATION, LONG OR SHORT?”. In some universities, there are three short vacations each

school year, while in other two longer vacations separate the two semesters. There are people who favour the short vacation and also people preferring the long one.

Explain your viewpoint in no less than 100 words.

Example

Some people favor long vacations because they can have enough time to do things that cannot be finished within a short period. During a long vacation, they may make a complicated experiment, carry out an involved investigation or go to a faraway place for some necessary field work. Taking a full time job to earn money for one or two months is another benefit the long vacation provides and sometimes a good academic thesis with a considerable length needs a long vacation.

Those who prefer short vacations also have understandable reasons. For two or three weeks?rest is adequate for students to refresh themselves without forgetting the lessons that are to be continued next semester. Short vacations also mean to rest three times a school year and short semesters. To study in this way is easier than to study for a long exhausting time with many courses and lessons crammed together.

One the whole, either long or short vacation has its advantages and disadvantages. What matters is how to make use of it.

ARE PETS GOOD FOR MANKIND?

Direction: (omitted) [SAMPLE]

(1)Pet-keeping is beneficial to people in several way.

(2)Economically, keeping-pet seems to be a kind of waste.

(3)Your opinion about pets.

Example

A pet animal is kept us feel happy. Besides providing companionship, pets invite us to love and be loved. Often a cat or dog can comfort us at time when human words don?t help. Pets also keep us in touch with the more natural animal world. Learning to care for a pet helps a child to grow up into a loving adult who feels responsible towards those dependent on him. A pet dog brings its master a sense of confidence for he can see in the dog that faithfulness does exist. In fact, we keep pets for emotional rather than economic reasons.

Keeping pets is just a waste of time and resource, according to some other people. Those who are crazy about pets sometimes neglect their duties. It is a shame that many animals eat good food while thousand of people go hungry in some parts of our overpopulated, troubled world. Furthermore, the growing number of pets has caused serious hygiene problem that cannot be solved. Not to say it?s against nature to cage birds, chain dogs and keep cats with the house.

In my opinion, it is neither wise nor possible to forbid pets keeping since it is a human need, rules should be made to avoid its drawbacks.

It Pays to Be Honest

Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers, some students cheat in the exams.

Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won?t buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot. Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.

In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honour. So it is important that we should be honest.

Nowadays, many people choose not to be honest in our modern society. We almost can find such things every day of our life: some students cheat in the exam for higher marks; some corporations tell wrong data to the public in order to get more investment; and some doctors treat their patients with unnecessary and expensive medicines in order to make money, sometimes damaged the patient s? health, even their life.

Seeing this situation, I think it must be changed. Being honest will benefit not only others, but also ourselves. First, your honesty will make others willing to trust you. Second, being honest can lead you to face your problem bravely, which helps to solve it. And the last, honesty surely helps to make the society more harmony.

So, I think everyone should start to be honest and everyone should have the idea that our society can not do without honesty.

In our modern social life, there are many examples around us show many people are cheated. Advertisements cheat people, salesmen cheat people, even one?s closest friends cheat him or her. So many heartbreaks are heard everyday that we cannot help asking: where is our honest exist?

Everybody is taught honest in the primary school or even in the kindergarten. Honesty does good not only to ourselves, but to others as well. If we are honest to others, we will be happier and be in a better mood. Otherwise, we?ll feel guilt at last. To a company and its advertisement, honesty will bring it more consumer and more profit. If we cheat others, friends will never believe you and they will leave you alone. To a company, no consumer will buy your product again!

So, as the above is said, it pays to be honest. Let?s create a morally outstanding social.

With the development of modern economic and industry, competitive is becoming more and more obvious. At the same time, the performance of dishonest is becoming more and more clearly.

Nowadays, there are many dishonest performance in our society. For example, some people found that he salad goods had past the preservation date. Not throw them away, they revised the preservation date, and saled them again after several days. Another case in the point, a pair of shoes was made from goat. However, in order to sale at a high price, the salers would say they were made from cow which has good quality.

From the foregoing, we can see that dishonest does not only harm to yourselves but also harm to others. And it is no use only realize the harmness of dishonest. We should be honest from now on and be honest in our daily life. It is only that people all over the world are honest then our country will be beautiful and wealthy.

Now in our society, many people are not honest in doing soming. We often can meet with soming happened cause by people who are not honest. For example, Now we take the bus need carry cents own, and when you upstairs the bus, you should put the cent into the money box. Every people do that, but some of the people put the other things instead the cents. For another example, it is more normal that in the exams we can always find some students see others.

I consider that every people should be honest. As a people, honest should be first, because it can make us to be increase and make our society develop. In doing every thing we should be honest all, study, work, life and so on. If you are honest, every people will be friend to you, and who will regard you are good people. But if you don?t be honest, people must unwilling to trath with you. So if you are want to be a good people, remember honest first.
