Theme-Related Writing
▆ Choose one of the following writing tasks and complete it after class.
1) Write an essay (of about 250 words) about a memorable experience in whichyou helped a stranger or were
helped by him or her.
2) Write an essay (of about 150 words) about human relationships in oursociety. The following hints might serve
as a guide:
a. The problems existing in the relationships between people in our society.
b. The negative results such problems may bring about to our society.
c. What can you do to help establish a harmonious society as a student?
▆Sample Essay for Task 1:
One weekend morning, while walking on a bustling street with a light heart, I was suddenly overtaken by a startling moan. Turning around, I discovered the sound was coming from a black mass in a corner. “What’s that?” My heart pounded heavily. I went up and saw a human being, alive but in a dreadful state. He was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs, mumbling something. He had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. A dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.
As my eyes were drifting away from him, his eyes caught mine suddenly. What eyes they were! Filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. He was unable to speak, but I seemed to hear his pleading voice and read his despairing mind. His look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longing
for help. For a while, I was at a loss what to do. Should I drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-by
or turn away in indifference? I recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. Could this be another one of those scams? But the beggar was there, groaning and living. Then something seemed to hit me hard. I drew a five-yuan note from my pocket, dropped it in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.
“No good deed is too small.” Maybe we need to bear this saying in mind.
▆Sample Essay for Task 2:
We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars。we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help them。we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in.
All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care only about ourselves. If things go on like this, ‘trust’, ‘teamwork’, and ‘harmony’ will eventually become terms unheard of.
In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society.

Theme-Related Writing
Do either of the following two writing tasks. You may draw on some useful ideasand expressions from a variety of sources, such as the two texts in this unit or theInternet.
1) Having read the two passages in this unit, you may have come to a betterunderstanding of life and the times
when pessimistic and optimistic thoughtstake turns to affect your behaviour. Write a letter of encouragement (ofabout 150 words) to one of your high school friends who failed in the collegeentrance examination. Tell him or her about your new understanding of theneed to remain optimistic.
2) The writers of the two texts in this unit convey to us the message that weneed to look at the positive side of
anything that comes to us and that weneed to take an optimistic and positive attitude toward life. Write an essay (ofabout 150 words) to share your ideas with your classmates. The followinghints may be of some help:
a. What is meant by “thinking positively”?
b. What is the connection between success and optimism?
c. How can we keep an optimistic and positive attitude?
▆Sample Letter for Task 1:
Dear Weihua,
I know you are still feeling upset about your results in the college entrance examination. I’ve just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I’m now sending you a copy,
hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.
Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picture them often. Please do have confidence in your potential. Just work hard and prepare for another chance.
You will make it.
Yours,
Janet
(152 words)
▆Sample Essay for Task 2:
Thinking positively means allowing your mindto be filled with optimistic feelings, and alwayshoping for the best though still aware of thedifficulties that might be involved.
The human mind is powerful。thoughts ofoptimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfillingprophecy. Though it might seem impossible tosome, positive thinking and success actually havea cause-and-result relationship. The reason isthat a person with positive thinking will alwaysbroadcast goodwill and confidence and that kindof radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody.
Gradually, people’s attitude will shift towards moretrust and respect. This not only opens up moreopportunities for the individual, but it also feedsback emotionally, and the cycle continues.
Though the shaping of a positive or negativepersonality often happens subconsciously, it ispossible to control such processes consciously. Aperson can try visualizing favourable situations,whether it is remembering a contest won as achild or imagining getting that job offer so longsought after. Over time circumstances will changeaccordingly. (169 words)

making his/her dream come true.
Sample essay
Li Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a worker’s family. She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However,Li Huiwould not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famousart school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. Shereadily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true. (156 words)
2) People may have different opinions about the key factors for success. Write a short essay (of about 150 words)
and share your opinions with your classmates.
Sample essay:
In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success:competence, determinationand optimism.
For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career. The person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence, the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement.
Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not go the way we have plannedand failure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable wemay be. In such casesone needs to remain firm and optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, success will never knock at the door. (149 words)

We can curb our consumption of fossil fuels and use technologies to reduce the emission of heat-trapping gases like carbon二氧化碳 dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, and protect the forests in the world, and we can also advocate policies that will combat global warming over the long term, things like clean cars, environmentally responsible renewable energy technologies, and stopping the clear-cutting of valuable forests.
