Many students just let their parents pay the tuition. Some students may apply for a bank loan and others will try to find part time jobs both on the campus and out of campus. Apart from this, many good students will win a scholarship. In this way they can pay at least part of their tuition.As to me, I will let my parents pay half of my tuition because they are not rich enough. Besides my studies, I will take up a part time job as a tutor teaching some high school students maths, physics and English, as I'm very good at the subjects. Of course I will work very hard at my lessons so that I can win a scholarship. I think that’s enough to pay for my college education.练习二Just Try to Relax During ExamsAs you know, most of us middle school students feel somehow nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. There is no doubt that exams are important to us students, but it’s more important to have a right attitude towards them. As a matter of fact, exams are no more than a means of checking. Therefore there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make good preparations. Only in this way can we avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises during an exam. Besides, enough sleep can make us full of energy and make it possible for us to perform well in the exam. A warm bath or a cup of milk before going to bed might help us to have a sound sleep. So, my suggestion is: Don’t worry about it, and just try to relax whatever happens．练习三Dear editor,I’m a high school student and my name is Li Hua. During the winter vacation, I went to stay with my grandma in the countryside. One day, I was amazed to see thousands of egrets flying to the mountains around the village. The villagers said it was because the environment was getting better that these egrets chose to stay here.But two weeks later, I was shocked to find lots of the egret eggs, stolen; many nests destroyed and even scores of egrets killed without mercy. It was not until the government officials and the policemen came that such wrong doings were stopped.To prevent such things from happening again, I think we should make the public know the importance of protecting rare animals and take active and effective measures to protect them.Yours,Li Hua练习四The Chinese government has decided to develop central and western China. This part of China includes 9 provinces and autonomous regions and one municipality, covering an area of 5.4 million square kilometers with a population of 285 million. The government will pay special attention to its transportation. Some high ways and railways will be built. To protect the nature, peasants will return farmland to forest. Also measures will be taken to prevent pollution. Western China is rich in natural resources which can be exploited and made full use of. To meet the need of development, all kinds of experts and skilled workers are to be brought in. We have every reason to believe that the government will be a great success. As a result of the great project, central western regions of China will surely achieve better and faster development in the new century. The people will have a better life and China will surely be richer and stronger.练习五Boys and girls，We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates. Facing this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination. Last, some of us don’t have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn’t it strange? So long as we have some, that’s enough. And we can learn to spend money!That’s all. Thank you.练习六Dear Peter,I’d like to tell you that our school has worked out a new program.The purposes of the program are to make our school more beautiful, to make the air cleaner and fresher, and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in.According to the program, we will plant different kinds of trees, flowers and grass in and around our school .A botanical garden will be built for us to visit and practice in .Besides, we are to build a small garden in which we can do some reading and take a rest .What’s more,some statues of famous people will be set up to encourage us to work harder.……Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours,Xiao Ming练习七Dear editor,I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purpose of getting on the internet. The girls’ favorite is chatting, but few boys like it. What the boys like to domost is playing games and the girls also like it. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails on th e internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information from keeping in touch with friends. As for studying, the numbers of boys and girls are equal, but altogether only several of them will use internet as a tool to study.In my opinion, useful as the Internet is, the students had better make better and wiser use of it. Otherwise, it’s impossible for us to benefit from it. Moreover, I also hope the parents will pay enough attention to their children using the Internet in their spare time.练习八Dear John,Very pleased to know that you are coming to study in Beijing and it is really a good idea to improve your Chinese before the new term begins next September.Here is an introduction to a school of Chinese. Compared with the other schools, I think it is a suitable one that you can go to. First, it is very convenient for you to get there by No. 16 bus. Next, the classes are very small. There are 24 teaching hours a week. After class, you can enjoy sports and activities with other students. Staying with a Chinese family will provide you with a chance to practice your Chinese and know more about the Chinese family life. The time will suit you and only 200 yuan is paid per month. I’ll get in touch with them if you are interested in this school.Looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours,Li Hua练习九In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and throws the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also bring dangers to others. A disabled man struggles to properly pick up the peels she has left behind and put them in the dustbin.In my opinion, des pite the girl’s beauty, it is the disabled man who is truly beautiful. Being well dressed is of great importance in keeping a good appearance. However, we should always keep this in mind: True beauty comes from one’s actions. The old man is displaying a mo re beautiful virtue even though he is disabled, compared with the young girl.While most of us enjoy pretty appearances, I think it is more important to have a clean and beautiful soul. Only such souls can create a beautiful society.练习十Never before h as the people’s livelihood been cared about as it is today. To ensure and improve the people’s livelihood, the government is taking a series of measures.As is shown in the pictures, the government will provide pension, Medicare and training for jobs. To people’s delight, various laws are to be perfected. Moreover, some legal service centers will be set up to protect people’s rights. What’s more, to make sure that people can live safely and peacefully, the government will make great efforts. By the way, the government will try its best to stop water and air pollution, so people can enjoy clean water and fresh air.Personally the people in our country will surely enjoy a happy life if all the measures above are to be taken effectively. Under the leadership of our Party and with the efforts of our people, Ibelieve our future life will be better and better and our country will be stronger and stronger.。
