一、Friendship
1.suppose you were ....write about your friendship with....
Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and
discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make
his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had
dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly
twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or
from what distance we might have to come.
Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to
the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man
standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I could speak, he
told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he
struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar.
I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man
wanted by the Chicago Police. For a moment I felt like telling him to escape
right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled
all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do.
I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in
my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…”
I then sent for a plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.

2.write about one of your close friends....
An Important Friend in My Life
Li Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad
smile as if life is forever "sunshine and butterflies". One day, I revealed to
him my worries and anxieties: I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters
tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like
to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.
He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a
fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself.
After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a
model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as
well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned
proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot.
Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.
Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical
defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club.
Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our
friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.
二、Love
1.....different ways different generations handle .....
Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives.
But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’

generation lived
in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of
romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to
preserve the holiness of love and relationships.
My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite
sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as it was, the love was as
brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real
relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of
take.
By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in
handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of
love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between
physical attraction and mental compatibilities.
In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and
passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other
two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in
dealing with relationships.

2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?
In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with
girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University
of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought
answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the
most important thing for a happy life?
About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing
a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common
interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students
claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent,
rated economic status as the first consideration.
As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls
attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top
priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed
that money was the key to a happy life.
Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold
a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material
conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather
lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about
self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon
marriage and family life as central to a happy life.
三、happiness
1. Man Does Not Live by Bread Alone
No one would doubt the truth that man’s existence relies essentially on material
things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near
the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.
However, our contentment does not merely lie in material things

. This is
especially the case in modern times. The fast-developing economy has noticeably
improved our lives and fulfilled most of our material needs. Then there comes
the need of spiritual satisfaction, which is derived from good health, close
friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear
conscience, a worthy goal and an enjoyable job. While material things may lose
their charm over time, spiritual satisfaction will bring us lasting happiness.
Therefore, to live a happy life, we should focus more on those things that meet
our spiritual demands. After all, when our need for bread is met, happiness will
not come unless we feel spiritually satisfied.
2.when we talk about happiness,we usually......
I Really Made It
I will never forget the awful feeling in my first Oral English class at college.
I tried hard to listen to every word the teacher spoke, but what she was saying
made no sense to me. Bitterly, I admitted that I was so poor at listening and
speaking in English.
I wept several times, cursing my middle school for failing to provide adequate
listening and speaking practice. But finally I calmed down because the familiar
words rang in my ears: There must be a way out. I had a rather solid foundation
of English vocabulary and grammar. What was left for me to do was to increase my
listening input and speaking output. I made it a rule that every morning I would
do reading aloud by the campus lake for 40 minutes, and every evening I would
stay in the language lab, listening to English for at least an hour.
Then at the end of the second year came my happiest moment: I got the
Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I wore a broad smile when the president
granted me the award. I then came to realize that happiness can only be gained
through hard work.
四、health
1. AIDS Across the Earth
AIDS has killed and is threatening to kill millions all across the earth.
Several million infections are reported by WHO each year. The virus does not
care whether you are black or white, male or female, young or old. It will
attack you as long as you are a human. Today, AIDS has become the leading killer
of young adults and is turning the children whose parents suffer the disease
into orphans. It is no exaggeration to say that we live under the shadow of
AIDS.
There are several possible causes for such a situation: unsafe sexual
intercourse; sharing or reusing contaminated needles; transfusion of
contaminated blood or blood products; an infected person’s pregnancy, giving
birth and breastfeeding, etc. Unfortunately, our ignorance, prejudice and
silence have carried the situation to a desperate extreme. Patients are isolated
or treated as outcasts by their families and their communities. AIDS victims
feel ashamed to be identified as such and try hard to hide their disease. For
this reason, they cannot get immediate medical treatment. Our harmful attitudes

towards the disease and its victims have actually placed more people at risk.
In our fight against this deadly disease, we should educate people on how to
avoid being infected with the disease and how to lead a healthy and secure life
and, more importantly, how to treat AIDS patients properly. Only in this way can
we really bring AIDS under control.
2.....suicide blights.....
Why Do the Young Adults Kill Themselves?
Young adults are in the prime of their lives and are supposed to pursue their
dreams and enjoy themselves. Yet it was reported in the Guardian that suicide is
the main cause of death among young adults in China. Why have so many young
people ended their lives?
Three factors are thought to account for the high suicide rate: increasing
stress, loneliness and a lack of medical support for depression. The most
pressing one, I think, is stress. Take my college life for example. From the
first day I entered the university, I have been living under pressure. I used to
worry that I could not quite fit into the campus life; I also feared that I
might not catch up with my classmates in my studies or could not live up to my
parents’ expectations. Now I am deeply concerned about whether I can find a
desirable job after graduation. Endless pressures give rise to stress.
Loneliness is another problem. Many young people find they just feel helpless
when they are suffering intolerable sadness or frustration.
Suicide is a great tragedy, especially for the young. If we can find ways to
relieve them of their stress and offer timely help, we may save many young
lives.
五、education
1. The Significance of Lifelong Education
Decades ago, due to the low standard of living in China, only a small percentage
of the nation's population could receive college education. Once given the
opportunity, one would surely secure a well-paid and much-respected job, which
he or she would probably do for a lifetime. Therefore, to secure a college
degree used to be the ultimate goal of a person's education.
Today, however, we are living in what is called a "knowledge society", where
creative ideas and innovations are generated at a fantastic speed. One must
constantly renew one's knowledge and upgrade one's skills so as to meet the
needs of the changing world. Moreover, at the stage of general education, it is
pointless for a person to attempt to know everything. When one is required to
settle down to be a specialist in a specific field, one has to make an in-depth
study of the subject one is supposed to know. In this sense, general education
can provide students with only a passport to lifelong education. As Robert
Maynard Hutchins once said, the object of education is to prepare the young to
educate themselves throughout their lives.
In my opinion, life in modern society is not only a process of "learning to
live" but also a process of "living to learn". The slogan "Live and Learn" can
bes

t reflect the concept of lifelong education.

2. Should Family Schooling Exist?
Meng Mu Tang, a private school in Shanghai, is modeled after the educational
system of ancient Chinese home schools, which favored rote memorization and
recitation of classic works. But the local education authorities in Shanghai
have declared it illegal according to a report in 21st Century. Should family
schooling exist? What role should it play?
In my opinion, family schooling should be permitted to play a positive role in
the current educational system in China. Every family should be free to choose
the form of education that best suits their children's interests and natural
gifts. Although the existing education system in China has remarkably improved,
it does not fit each child perfectly. Since family schooling provides a means to
develop a person's talents and unique interest, Meng Mu Tang, as a private
school geared to a specific group of children, should not be banned in haste. In
view of the current dynamic, quality-minded educational reforms in China, we
should permit family schooling to enrich and diversify our educational system.
On the other hand, home schooling should adapt itself to the modern world. To
prepare children for the future, it should equip them with knowledge and
innovative power so that they can cope with the development of the modern world.
While tapping children's innate talents on an individual basis, family schooling
should never neglect their all-round development. Meng Mu Tang may not be a
perfect private school, but we should let it live and have a try so that family
schooling may eventually become an indispensable component of our formal
education.
六、intercultural communication
1. My Views on Cultural Differences
In my opinion, cultural differences have more advantages than disadvantages.
First of all, it is cultural differences that make our world so colorful. If you
go to a foreign country, you will be impressed not only by its physical
environment but also by its cultural environment — its foods, clothes, customs,
social practices, etc. Differences between cultures have always been a source of
joy and inspiration.
Secondly, differences in culture enrich human civilization. Different cultures
compete with as well as learn from each other. Roman culture was modeled on
Greek culture, which had once borrowed a lot from Egyptian culture. American
culture is also a blend of many different cultures.
Thirdly, differences in culture give each culture its unique identity. A culture
is usually seen in relation to other cultures. Chinese culture distinguishes
itself from others by its peculiar concepts and things that can hardly be found
elsewhere.
Of course, cultural differences may cause conflicts and misunderstandings. But
interdependence, common interests and mutual goals of different nations always
outweigh differences in culture. Nations with different

cultures should learn
from each other and live peacefully together. To this end, we should be more
tolerant to other cultures while preserving, protecting and developing our own.

2. My Views on the Influence of Western Culture
On weekends, I gather with my friends at MacDonald's or KFC. We eat fried
chicken, drink Coco-cola and talk about the latest release of Hollywood movies.
We read foreign novels, listen to Western music and watch NBA. We admire Bill
Gates, George Michael and Princess Diana. We dress ourselves in the Western
style and celebrate Christmas and Valentine's Day. Our way of life has thus
changed. Indeed, the influence of Western culture is strongly felt in our
everyday life.
This influence in turn prepares us well to blend into the modern world and
participate in the world market competition. But we should not ignore its side
effects. Our national culture may gradually lose its ground if our attention is
focused only upon Western culture. In following the trend of globalization we
should maintain our own cultural identity, cherish our cultural tradition and
develop our own culture. What Mahatma Gandhi once said can best sum up my views
on the influence of Western culture: "I do not want my house to be walled in on
all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to
be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my
feet by any."
七、the olympic spirit
1. write an essay about your favorite sports team.....
My favorite Sports Team: the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team
In quite a few sports, Chinese women athletes outshine men athletes. As a girl,
I always feel proud of our women table tennis players, badminton players, women
divers and gymnasts. But my greatest enthusiasm always goes to the Chinese
Women's Volleyball Team, who, though it has undergone some ups and downs, always
presents a positive, inspiring image to the public.
I've never missed any major TV shows involving the Chinese women's team. I can't
help getting excited watching the girls shine in court, with their amazing
spikes and blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the
match. There are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embarrassing
result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new
players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must admit that the Chinese
girls have been practising very hard all the way.
Recent years has witnessed a difficult period for the team when Russian,
American, Cuban, and Brazilian teams are rising in ranking and winning
championships, but I still have faith in our team and give them my support. I
wish them good luck in the coming Olympics.

2. Benefits from Hosting the Olympic Games
July of 2001 witnessed a wave of national excitement in our land: Beijing had
won the bid to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. It symbolized the strength of
our

country and roused our national pride.
Since then a lot of changes have taken place in Beijing. Citizens of Beijing are
now enjoying better transportation facilities, and the physical environment has
improved significantly. With the construction of athletic venues, municipal
infrastructure and other relevant facilities, new job opportunities have been
created. A boom in Olympic-related businesses and industries has taken place not
only in Beijing but also elsewhere.
Hosting the Olympic Games is also a mega cultural event. It is a good
opportunity to increase the international profile of the host city. Now more and
more people are drawn to Beijing, and there has appeared a new boom in tourism.
Preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games have given rise to numerous cultural and
educational programs focusing on the citizens' commitment and dedication to this
international event. Such programs have not only generated a widespread interest
in sports but have also promoted the citizens' social, cultural and ethical
visions. We must try our best to capitalize on this opportunity as fully as we
can.
八、man and society
1. How to Survive in a Competitive Society
Competition in present-day society is fierce and cruel. It exists in different
lines of work. For example, different musicians compete for each seat in their
orchestra, and different orchestras compete for the privilege of making
recordings with prestigious studios. Footballers compete for positions within
the same team, and they work together to compete against other teams for
championships. In short, whatever we do, we may feel the pressure of
competition.
However, instead of deploring competition, we should see the interrelationship
between competition and cooperation. Cooperation and competition exist side by
side and they are both unavoidable in human society. For example, while
competing with other factories, producers and distributors of the same factory
must cooperate and make coordinated efforts to satisfy the needs of customers.
Business rivals have to cooperate with one another when their common market is
threatened. Therefore, competition alone will not bring us success in what we
are doing.
In the face of competition, we should keep acquiring new skills and updating our
knowledge so as to enhance our competitive ability. At the same time, we should
learn the techniques of cooperating with others in the most effective manner.

2. Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?
I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus seats to the elderly.
He claims that "it's the young who need it more" because they go to work early
in the morning and feel exhausted after a day's work. The blogger also argues
that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free
rides, and suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such
treatment.
I could never bring

myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good care of the
elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In my opinion, offering
seats to our elders is not just an indication of good manners; it is a moral
issue. I always consider it my moral obligation to help others. Yes, you may
feel comfortable for a while by remaining in your seat, but you will lose your
character and moral values in the long run.
Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our
love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are
offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by
bus at any time they like, and what's more, we should make sure they get special
care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.
Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying
experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as
offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a
harmonious society.
