研究生英语读写译As a graduate student, it is crucial to improve both reading and writing skills in English to excel in academic studies. In this piece, I will discuss some effective strategies to enhance reading and writing abilities.To improve reading skills, it is important to read a wide range of materials. Start with familiar topics and gradually move to more complex subjects. News articles, academic journals, and novels can provide diverse perspectives and vocabulary. Additionally, reading different genres, such as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and scientific articles, will expose students to diverse writing styles and structures.To enhance reading comprehension, it is beneficial to develop active reading habits. Before starting a passage, skim through it to get a general idea of the content. Pay attention to the title, subheadings, and any highlighted phrases to understand the organizational structure. While reading, underline or highlight important points and unfamiliar vocabulary. Taking notes during the reading process can help consolidate understanding and aid in later writing tasks.Another effective method to improve reading skills is to engage in discussions or join reading groups. By sharing opinions and perspectives with classmates or peers, students can gain a deeper understanding of the material and expand their critical thinking skills. Furthermore, discussing complex texts can help identify any confusion or gaps in comprehension.In terms of writing skills, regular practice is key. Dedicate time each day to writing exercises, such as journaling, summarizing articles, or composing opinion pieces. Writing allows one to practice grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary in a controlled environment.To improve writing coherence and organization, it is essential to create an outline before starting a written task. An outline helps organize thoughts and ensures a logical flow of ideas. Start with a clear introduction that introduces the topic and thesis statement. Then, provide evidence or examples to support the main points in the body paragraphs. Conclude the essay by summarizing the main arguments and restating the thesis.Additionally, seeking feedback from teachers or peers can immensely improve writing skills. Constructive criticism can highlight areas for improvement and help refine writing techniques. Revising and editing one's own work is also crucial, as it allows for the identification and correction of grammar mistakes, sentence structure, and coherence issues.Finally, it is crucial to expand vocabulary to enhance writing skills. Learning new words and their usage through reading, utilizing vocabulary-building tools or apps, and practicing using them in writing will enable students to express themselves more effectively. In conclusion, improving reading and writing skills in English is essential for graduate students. By implementing strategies such as reading widely, developing active reading habits, engaging in discussions, practicing writing, creating outlines, seeking feedback,and expanding vocabulary, students can enhance their academic performance and achieve success in their graduate studies.。

新世界交互英语读写译4第二版3单元作文The world we live in today is a complex and ever-evolving landscape filled with both challenges and opportunities. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it is essential that we approach the future with a sense of purpose, resilience, and a willingness to adapt to the changing tides. Whether we are tackling global issues such as climate change, poverty, or social inequality, or focusing on more personal goals and aspirations, the ability to think critically, problem-solve, and continuously learn and grow is paramount.One of the most pressing challenges facing our world today is the ongoing threat of climate change. The scientific evidence is clear: the Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate, driven largely by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and the release of greenhouse gases. The consequences of these changes are already being felt in the form of rising sea levels, more frequent and intense natural disasters, and the disruption of ecosystems and food production. As individuals and as a global community, we must take decisive action to mitigate the impact of climate change and work towards a more sustainable future.This will require a multifaceted approach that encompasseseverything from renewable energy development and sustainable agriculture to the protection of natural habitats and the promotion of more environmentally-conscious consumer behaviors. It will also require a fundamental shift in the way we think about our relationship with the natural world, moving away from a mindset of exploitation and toward one of stewardship and preservation.Another key challenge facing our world is the persistent problem of poverty and inequality. Despite the tremendous economic progress made in recent decades, millions of people around the globe continue to live in abject poverty, lacking access to basic necessities such as food, clean water, healthcare, and education. This not only represents a profound moral failing but also a significant obstacle to global stability and prosperity.Addressing this challenge will require a concerted effort on the part of governments, international organizations, and civil society to develop and implement effective poverty alleviation strategies. This may include investments in sustainable development, the expansion of social safety nets, and the promotion of inclusive economic growth that creates opportunities for all. It will also require a deeper understanding of the complex and interrelated factors that contribute to poverty, such as systemic discrimination, lack of access to resources, and the impact of conflict and natural disasters.In addition to these global challenges, individuals and communities around the world also face a range of more personal challenges and aspirations. Whether it is pursuing a fulfilling career, starting a family, or realizing a long-held dream, the ability to set clear goals, develop a plan of action, and persist in the face of adversity is essential.This process of personal growth and self-actualization is not always easy, and it often requires us to confront our fears, challenge our assumptions, and step outside of our comfort zones. It may involve developing new skills, taking on new responsibilities, or navigating complex interpersonal relationships. However, the rewards of this journey can be immense as we discover new facets of ourselves, deepen our understanding of the world around us, and ultimately make a positive impact on the lives of those around us.Underlying all of these challenges and aspirations is the fundamental human need for connection, meaning, and purpose. As social beings, we crave a sense of belonging and the opportunity to contribute to something greater than ourselves. Whether it is through our work, our relationships, or our involvement in our communities, the ability to find purpose and meaning in our lives is essential to our overall well-being and happiness.This pursuit of meaning and purpose is not always straightforward, and it may require us to confront our own biases, assumptions, andpreconceptions. It may also involve grappling with complex philosophical and existential questions about the nature of reality, the meaning of life, and our place in the grand scheme of things.However, by engaging in this process of self-reflection and inquiry, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We can develop a greater sense of empathy and compassion, and find ways to contribute to the greater good in ways that are meaningful and fulfilling to us.Ultimately, the challenges and aspirations that we face as individuals and as a global community are multifaceted and complex. They require us to think critically, problem-solve, and continuously learn and grow. But by approaching these challenges with a sense of purpose, resilience, and a willingness to adapt, we can not only overcome the obstacles that stand in our way, but also unlock new possibilities and opportunities for ourselves and for the world around us.。

1. A Letter of ProposalDear schoolmates,Heart-breaking news came to us that a host of children in disaster-stricken areas had been forced to drop out of school due to their inability to cover the tuition fees. That devastating earthquake, which still remains fresh on our mind, reduced many kids to being homeless. From then on, they began leading a disadvantaged life. Living in “a big family”, we are obliged to offer a helping hand to them.If you intend to donate money or other items to them, please email us at XXX@ or directly visit our office . We were genuinely hoping that our little efforts can help them weather the dark period.Student Union 2. A Letter of proposalDear citizens,In the face of the growing threat posed by global warming , we keenly propose all of the residents drive ambitious efforts to lead a low-carbon life. Among them, car-pooling is emerging as a feasible and favorable way. In an effort to scale back the carbon emissions, we are supposed to consider, employ and popularize this environment-friendly traveling patter. And it can also in some sense alleviate the sorry state of traffic flow, especially in rush hours. Get moving from now on！We passionately believe our collaborative effort can make a surprisingly big difference to our living environment.Environment Ministry3. A Letter of proposalDear residents,Solid and ample scientific evidence has proved that smoking does inflict great harm to one’s health. It also severely endangers other people’s fitness and contaminates the living environment. In effort to reduce the hazard of the tobacco and build favorable public surroundings, we strongly proposed all the citizens should not smoke in public locations. No smoking in public places is not only a social virtue but also reflects the advances in modern civilization. Let’s join our hands to pursue a civilized and harmonious lifestyle and make individual contributions to the construction of a comfortable smoking-free atmosphere.Publicity Department 4. A Letter of RequestDear Dean,I am writing to formally request your approval for the change in my major from Accounting to World Economics. Since my boyhood, I have been taking a keen interest in accounting and devote close attention to it.. However, after stepping into college in 2008, when the credit crunch hit the whole globe, I desire to explore the function mechanism of the world economy and gain a further understanding of those elements stirring up the financial tsunami. After serious consideration, I have made the tough decision to change my major.I wish you could consider my request and I would apologize for any inconvenience arisingfrom me.

After unfolding the package, to my dismay, I found there are some pages missing in this book.

研究生英语读写教程第八单元In the eighth unit of the postgraduate English reading and writing coursebook, the theme of perseverance in academic endeavors stands out as a pivotal aspect of achieving success. This essay explores the significance of perseverance, its role in overcoming challenges, and the impact it has on personal and professional growth.Perseverance, defined as the steady and unyielding effort to achieve a goal despite difficulties, is acritical component of success in any endeavor, especially in the academic world. The journey of an academic researcher is often fraught with challenges, setbacks, and even failures. However, it is the determination to persevere in the face of adversity that separates those who succeed from those who do not.In the academic setting, perseverance is manifested in various ways. It could be the relentless pursuit of knowledge through rigorous reading and research, the dedication to refining one's work despite repeated revisions, or the resilience shown when facing rejection or criticism. Such perseverance not only helps researchers toovercome obstacles but also sharpens their criticalthinking and analytical skills.Moreover, perseverance fosters a growth mindset, encouraging individuals to view failures as opportunities for learning and growth. This mindset is crucial in the academic world, where research often involves numerous iterations and refinements. By persevering, researchers are able to turn their failures into stepping stones towards success.In addition to personal growth, perseverance also contributes to the advancement of knowledge and understanding. By persevering in their research, academics are able to make significant contributions to their field, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and understanding. Their hard work and dedication not only bring aboutpositive changes in society but also inspire others to follow in their footsteps.However, perseverance does not come easily. It requires hard work, dedication, and the willingness to face and overcome challenges. It is essential to maintain a positive attitude, stay focused on one's goals, and seek supportwhen needed. Furthermore, it is crucial to remember that perseverance does not guarantee success, but without it, success is highly unlikely.In conclusion, perseverance is an indispensable quality for success in academic pursuits. It fosters personal growth, contributes to the advancement of knowledge, and inspires others to follow in one's footsteps. While the journey may be fraught with challenges, it is the perseverance that leads to the destination of success. Let us, therefore, emulate the spirit of perseverance in our academic endeavors and strive towards achieving our goals.**坚持的力量在学术追求中**在研究生英语读写教程的第八单元中，坚持在学术追求中的力量被突出展现为成功的关键要素。

Today American colleges and universities (originally modeled on German ones) are under strong attack from many quarters. Teachers, it is charged, are not doing a good job of teaching, and students are not doing a good job of learning. American businesses and industries suffer from unenterprising, uncreative executives educated not to think for themselves but to mouth outdated truisms the rest of the world has long discarded. College graduates lack both basic skills and general culture. Studies are conducted and reports are issued on the status of higher education, but any changes that result either are largely cosmetic or make a bad situation worse.今天美国的大学（原本是以德国的大学为模型的）受到了各方面的严厉指责。

The opportunity of communication is very important. For example, a cocktail parties can help people to keep conversation flowing.Secondly, numbers should enhance the skills of communication. sometimes, we should use our body language properly and make them lively.

However, the suggestion is very simple. Therefore, step up and start to make your life become different.第二单元：最有价值的家庭传统When I was young, my parents told me：“Where there is a will, there is way ”. They aimed at encouraging me of the importance of diligence. Undoubtedly, the most valuable tradition of my family is diligence, nobody can deny the importance of it, which developed a positive attitude to make my life more meaningful in my growth. The spirit was remembered and it prevented me from quitting easily when I felt precarious.My parents said that if I hoped to make progress, I must try my best to do everything unswervingly. The more diligent we are, the more easily we are to make money, accumulate wealth, create more opportunities, establish career and integrate into society. My mother often took Edison as a case in point, He told us:” Genius need 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”.All in all, at no time can I ignore the importance of the diligence. Furthermore, on my personal level, small success is no excuse for feeling satisfied with myself. I have always believed in success, have always believed that without diligence,I have learned that one person can really make a difference.Only I strive for life in the future, can I obtain a better education, more job stability better income and a more beautiful environment.第三大单元：促使比尔盖茨成功的因素Factors Contributing to the Success of Bill GatesEveryone is eager to gain success，and everyone has his own interpretation.There are many factors leading to success such as opportunity,intelligence,and ambition,ect.There is no denying that the success of Bill Gates is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world.As far as i am concerned,ambition is the premise.Firstly,you must have an ambition.You ought to know what do you want to do.Bills Gates clearly knows his ambition,so he drop out of school Secondly, opportunity plays the same important as diligent impact on success.There is a saying that:”success is owing to the people who are ready to do everything ”Thirdly is preparation.God always give the chance to someone who make an preparation.The last factor which contributing to the success of Bill Gates is intelligence.As far as i am concerned,intelligence is also play an important impact on success.Someone ought to develop his strength.In conclusion, concerning the importance of seizing the right moment, we college students should make every effort to get fully prepared to lest miss the opportunities. And everyone should have a clearvision of what he really want in life. If you know what you want, then you’ll recognize every opportunity that comes along that fits with your vision, and you’ll be able to grab these opportunities with both hands第四单元：财富和快乐的关系In our modern society with material becoming rich and wealth increasing, most people misunderstand the relationship between wealth and happiness. People always regard wealth as happiness, but there really are some differences between them. Happiness isn’t wealth or can’t be equal to wealth completely.To some people ,wealth is regarded as first ,because it can help them to do what they want to do .For example ,with a lot of money ,they can buy house ,car ,clothes ,and so on .Besides ,they even have the idea that they can buy happiness which they like .As far as I’m concerned ,one should not equate wealth with happiness ,Happiness contains all kinds of things .I suppose that sometimes happiness comes from a little case .such as ,when you feel very hungry ,you can have a fine meal .you will be happiness as long as you feel your life being full of value .In a word, keeping health first if you want become wealthy. It is well-known that a person can make a large fortune if he has the right opportunities during his life. But if the person suffers from a terrible illness, then no matter how much money he may earn, he will still lead a miserable life. Therefore, health is much more important than wealth.第五单元：现代科技便利还是麻烦？With the development of economy, the modern technology becomes more and more important in our daily life. As far as I am concerned , altough the development of technology has aroused many negative effects, yet its advantages and benefits far outweigh the down sideFirstly, modern technology has generated a great many innovative machines , which substitute human beings to undertake much labor work. Take computer for example, it can perform calculations in an instant with high accuracy. People have been set free from labors with the help of machines technology. Secondly, technology has bettered people’s health condition, and lengthened human life with advanced medical care and progressive medical research . Finally modern technology has shortened the distance among people, and facilitated communications between people.Some people still hold the argument that life was better when technology was simpler. That may be illustrated by the fact that modern technology has resulted in great damage to natural environment. Great amount of natural resources have been over-exploited, and even disappeared. Yet such a problem should be controllable, and may be prevented if reasonable measures taken by we human beings.第六单元：失败是好的老师吗？At present,“Is failure a good teacher?”has become one of the mostpopular topics in our daily lives.There is no doubt that failure indeed happen every now and then, it often accompany with us in our common life. Although,for failure,different people have different ideas.I’m perfectly willing to agree that failure can be a good teacher.Generally speaking,For these people who are optimistic, they always think that “the failure is the mother of success”. They can always find the way to success, according to failure. They will never be afraid of failure , because they have the faith that failure is only the obstacle in the way to success, they may move the stone from the way or find another way to reach success at last .For the other pessimistic people , they may think that failure is not good. They are afraid of failure. If they do meet with failure , they always tell themselves that they are bad and could never be successful , which could destroy their confidence. So they are very afraid of failure .As long as I am concerned , failure is a good teacher.There is some wisdom to be learned from failure. If we can learn to turn a failure to our advantage, we will have learned another secret to success. In a word, Failure is a good teacher and teach us a lot.。
