▆ Answer for reference:

That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that

small favour.

Theme-Related Writing

▆ Doone of the following writing tasks after class.

1)Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie from

your perspective.

2)Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:

Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?

▆Sample Essay for Task 1:

We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.

Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that he could still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.

But something happened which completely caught me unawares. Our regular customers, those warm-hearted truckers, were so generous that they, together with their companies, contributed over $10,000 for Stevie. That Thanksgiving Day was a big day when Stevie was back to work and when the money was presented to Stevie as a surprise gift. I cried a bit while people were cheering for the occasion.

Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)

▆Sample Essay for Task 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 further 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 that 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. (268 words)

After dinner, we all sat around the hearth. Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much horrified Aunt Susan was every day, and how much overjoyed she was to see Uncle Robert back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced, in their daily life, giving and sharing instead of pursuing passion and romance, or making complaints. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.

Theme-Related Writing

Do either one of the following two tasks after class.

1. Based on Text A, write a passage about the different ways different generationshandle male-female relationships. The following hints may be of some help.

1) ―our‖ parents’ generation (details mainly found in Para. 8);

2) ―my‖ generation (details mainly found in Paras. 3–7);

3) the younger generation (details mainly found in Paras. 9–11).

2. Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girl students.Write a passage on the topic ―What do girl students look for in love and life?‖

▆Sample Essay One:

Male-female relations are indispensableto adults all through their lives. But differentgenerations handle them differently. Our parents’generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints,respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. Theykept a distance from people of the opposite genderin order to preserve the holiness of love andrelationships.

My generation, on the other hand, began withcountless crushes for the opposite sex just becauseof their superficial charm. Harmless as they were,the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As wegrew up, we came to the stage of developing realrelationships, believing that love demanded a lot ofgive and not so much of take.

By comparison, the younger generation ismore open-minded and less restricted in handlingthe matter of love and relationships. They jump onthe bandwagon of love with so much haste that itis difficult for them to distinguish between physicalattraction and mental compatibilities.

In short, the younger generation focuses moreon physical beauty, closeness and passion, and theytend to seek what they want from the relationships.The other two generations give priority to innercharm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealingwith relationships. (196 words)

▆Sample Essay Two:

What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?

In order to know about girl students’ opinionabout love and life, a survey with girl students wasconducted in 2005 in two universities —ChongqingUniversity of Technology and Business and EastChina Normal University. The survey soughtanswers to two questions: What do you look forfirst in a boyfriend? What’s the most importantthing for a happy life?

About one third of the students chose personalityas the top factor in choosing a boyfriend,followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Nextcame common interests and goals, favoured by 17percent, with only 14 percent of students claimingappearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewerstill, 11 percent, rated economic status as the firstconsideration.

As to their views about a happy life, nearlyseventy percent of the girls attached the greatestimportance to marriage and family. ―Career‖ wasgiven top priority by just under 20 percent, whileeven fewer, around 9 percent, believed that moneywas the key to a happy life.

Based on the survey, we may conclude thatnowadays, girl students generally hold a rationalattitude towards love and life. Admittedly, theimproved material conditions of life explain whygirls take economic status and money ratherlightly. But contrary to the popular view that girlsare more concerned about self-development inthe workplace and social status, they still regardmarriage and family life as central to a happy life.(235 words)

As is commonly acknowledged / It is commonly recognised that humans are social animals. Living together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, we have read different definitions given by Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher,and Cicero, a Roman statesman. No one will deny that some people make friends simply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for ―soul pals‖— those who possessvirtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and inspire us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call ―true friendship‖. It is with such friends’ company that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.

Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together.

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.(270 words)

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, academicfailures 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.(209 words)

A gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion. Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to beso highly honored? The champions who have mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. What’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and s queeze in every possible minute to practice every day. Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. They are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. In reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. So we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. After all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.

Theme-Related Writing

2) Why do you like it so much?

3) Do you always support the team?

▇Sample essay 1:

My favorite Sport 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 coverage ofthe Chinese women’s team. I c an’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 have witnessed a difficult period for the team as Russian, American, Cuban, and Brazilian teams have been 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. W rite an essay entitled ―The Meaning of Winning a Prize‖. You may base your writing on what you have learnt from the two texts. The following hints may be of some help.

1) What is a prize?

2) What does a prize bring about?

3) What is the fundamental meaning of wining prizes?

▇Sample essay 2:

In today’s society, competitions, contests and games are held virtually every day and everywhere. These activities put the participants into two categories: winners and losers. As symbols of public recognition, prizes are awarded to those who mount the winners’ stand.

A prize brings about fame, prestige and good fortune. Winners are constantly in the spotlight and attract admiring attention. Their friends and colleagues come to congratulate them and their families take pride in them. More often than not, prizes simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as in the case of an Olympic gold medal or a Nobel Prize. Therefore, winners harvest both a good reputation and material rewards.

However, this is not the essential meaning of wining a prize. Winners are worthy of respect, admiration and good fortune because they embody some outstanding qualities that are worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and optimism. An athlete undergoes years of training and takes hundreds of highly demanding challenges before he steps onto that podium; a writer becomes popular overnight after he has spent years writing relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. What’s more, optimism in the face of adversity also contributes a lot to their success. They believe in themselves and have great passion for what they are engaged in. They endeavor to do their best, enjoying the process of fighting well. Therefore, the fundamental meaning of winning a prize does not merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting the best part of oneself.

He felt so inspired to paint that he was distracted from his personal problems. 3. His sister-in-law?s painting inspired him to try his hand at it; his wife rushed out to buy all the materials he would need; and the wife of Sir John Lavery helped him overcome his fear of the blank canvas. 4.
