第一单元Part ⅠWriting【参考范文】Graduate Study or a JobTo land a decent job, or to pursue graduate study? It is really a dilemma when the alternatives are presented in front of us.It is beyond doubt that some active and ambitious students will not hesitate a moment to choose the former. They are eager to demonstrate their abilities and value. They assert that a college education is enough. Think of Bill Gates, the Microsoft Chairman, whose success raises doubts about the worth of a MBA degree.As far as I’m concerned, I believe that we have every reason to prefer the latter choice in such an era when knowledge is expanding at an astonishing speed. The demands for us to promote both our knowledge and skills are becoming increasingly urgent. So we should keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich ourselves and make us more adapted to the competitive society. N eedless to say, a graduate study is a wise choice. If we hurry into the society before we get well prepared, we will only find that our knowledge is so limited in this increasingly competitive society.Keep on learning and you will never regret!第二单元Part ⅠWriting【参考范文】Children Learn Most from Parents’ BehaviorsIt is true that parents are children’s best teachers. The process of growing up is very complex for children. I think among all the factors that influence children’s growth, the behavior of parents play s a significant role in shaping children’s inclination and character.(提出观点段)For one thing, after the baby is born, the first and the nearest adults are its parents. The little baby learns from its parents at the very beginning by observing and copying their parents’ behaviors.For another, with the growth of children, parents will influence them much more, such as logical thinking, making decision, cooperation with others, etc, and most of children’s behaviors represent their parents’ inclination.Like young trees, children need to be carefully irrigated, fertilized and trimmed, and there is no doubt that parents’decent behavior will be of great help to shape them into useful talents.第三单元Part ⅠWriting【参考范文】Telecommunication Brings Convenience to Modern LifeModern time would be unimaginable without telecommunications. Telephone, fax and TV are already household words. New terms like pager, mobile phone and Email are entering our daily life at a rapid pace. Telecommunications have penetrated nearly every aspect of modern life and are fast changing the way we live.It is no exaggeration to say that telecommunications bring huge profits and great convenience to our daily life.For instance, the telephone makes it possible for people in different places to talk to one another. Pager and mobile phone enable us to make a phone call regardless of time and place. Compared with ordinary mail delivery, or even with express airmail delivery, electronic mail delivers mails much faster and at a surprisingly cheap price,no matter where the receiver is. Surfing the Internet is also a by-product of telecommunications, which provides us with easy access to wealth of information. Furthermore, thanks to the rapid growth of telecommunications, business corporations can manage business affairs far more efficiently through phone, fax, and on-line computer.However, there are disadvantages brought about by telecommunications, such as phone bills for unnecessary talks, the disturbance of unwanted or wrong calls, and the attraction of hot-line services, etc. Yet by and large, telecommunications bring more benefit than harm to our life. By shortening distance, telecommunications enhance efficiency in our commercial activities, save time and money in promoting interpersonal relations as well as in acquiring knowledge and accumulating information. Telecommunications have changed and will change our way of life.第四单元Part ⅠWriting【参考范文】To Serve the People: Is It Going Out of Style?About 40 years ago, on the 3rd of March, Chairman Mao called upon the whole nation to“learn from Comrade Lei Feng and serve the people”. From then on, the whole nation has been responding enthusiastically to Mao’s teaching and trying every means to give help to those who needed. However, in recent years, with the development of market economy, great changes have taken place in our ways of thinking and modes of living. “To serve the people”has become a foolish and formalist slogan.Some people argue that the motto of serving the people is going out of style. They say that we are born to be selfish creatures; even a baby will not give its candies to other kids, let alone the adult. On the other hand, in the present system of market economy, everyone is minding his own business, making his own money, and giving full play his potential capabilities. In a word, we just need to serve ourselves, our own interests.However, there are still other people who maintain that the virtue of serving the people will never be out of date. They assert that since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships,and the strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. In the service of other people around us, we are in fact serving ourselves.So far as I am concerned, I take sides with those who uphold the virtuous principle of serving the people whenever and wherever it is possible. In daily life, I am always ready to render service and to help everybody.Is the Spirit of Lei Feng out of Style 雷锋精神是否过时There are some voices claiming Lei Feng’s spirit has gone out of style in today’s society. They reason that in commodity economy people should seek more practical things, such as fame, money and the comfortable life. To them nothing is more important than those things, which is often regarded as the views of the present generation.There are some other voices claiming that the spirit of Lei Feng still has an enormous echo in millions of Chinese people. The great soldier’s story has such a strong influence on people’s ideas, values and ways of life that in every field of society the re arise countless “Living Lei Fengs”, who follow the example of Lei Feng and serve the people heart and soul.In my opinion, the spirit of Lei Feng will never be out of date. Instead, it has been brought forward. Today more and more “Lei Fengs” are coming forth from various circles among whom “Xu Hu” has already set a good example to the whole nation. The spirit of Lei Feng---an unselfish spirit will always encourage us to go forward.第五单元Part ⅠWriting【参考范文】Shaping the MoralityAccording to a survey, more than two thirds of people in China agree that the public moral level is lower than before. There are some improper behaviors always happening around: young men refusing to give seats to the old on buses; shoppers jumping into queue instead of waiting in line; crude riders neglecting red lights, etc. So what is going on?As analysts have figured out, this trend of degradation mainly originated from faulty education. For decades, Chinese schools simply infuse bookish knowledge to their students,whilst moral cultivation becomes a kind of formalism; outside school, children are naturally influenced by their family and other adults in the society,most of whom are too sophisticated to be considered as eligible moral models.How can things become better? We must follow these steps. First of all: Parents and teachers should behave as the model for children and improve their moral status through strict discipline. The second step: self-shaping. We should manage ourselves well, and try to shape our own morality as perfectly as possible. Even if you’re nobody, you’ll have a positive impact on the society if only you manage yourself well and try to influence others as much as possible.第七单元Part ⅠWriting【参考范文】Social PracticeSocial practice is a bridge between theory and reality. So in recent years, more and more college students choose to take part-time jobs in and outside school.In social practice, students are sure to learn more than textbooks. The participation in social practice might strengthen their sense of social responsibility. The close contact with the working people might help them to apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems. However,many teachers complain that there are fewer students who pay attention to their study.In my view, it’s an undenied fact that students break the balance between their jobs and students,especially when they fall into conflict. But I think students should spend their spare time taking part-time jobs.Timely partcipation in social practice will benefit them all through their lives.第八单元Part ⅠWritingReading—the Best Means to Acquire KnowledgeKnowledge may be acquired through many ways. One way of getting knowledge is from conversation. A person may also acquire knowledge through other ways such as listening to the radio or watching television. The best way to acquire knowledge, however, is through reading.There are many factors contribute to this point. Firstly, it is the most consistent way of getting knowledge. Secondly, reading can ensure a thorough grasp of what you are interested in. This is so hardly when one is listening to the radio or watching TV. Finally, reading is the most flexible of all the ways to obtain knowledge; you can always read in whatever time you like.Reading is really of great significance in our life. It opens the door to the world for us and leads us to a new stage of knowledge. Moreover, it’s convenient and comfortable for us to get knowledge through reading. So I think reading is the best means to acquire knowledge.第九单元Part ⅠWritingStudents Selecting Their LecturersNowadays many universities entitle the students to freely choose the teachers for some courses, which is welcomed by most students and is becoming the focus of the students and teachers’concern. There are many different factors deciding the students’choosing a teacher for courses.Among all these factors, the most important is a teacher’s enough professional knowledge and ability, since students choose his course to acquire knowledge. Moreover, quite a few students think teaching methods and skills are essential to a good teacher. He must know how to provide instruction in a clear and interesting manner.In addition, a teacher’s humor sense is also often an important factor that many students will consider.Undoubtedly, freely choosing teachers is very beneficial to both teachers and students. On the one hand, it can provide a good chance for a teacher to prove and show his ability.On the other hand,by this way, students can choose their favorite teachers and take more initiative in learning. However, since it is a free choice, classes taught by few excellent teachers may be overfull while other classes may have low enrollment, which will cause problems with class management and even influence teaching quality.第十单元Part ⅠWritingOnline ShoppingWith the development of technology, online shopping has become popular in people’s daily life. As many of us might have witnessed, more people are buying products through the Internet. And to facilitate online purchase, stores provide pictures of their products together with other illustrations on the websites. Besides, online products range from small items such as clothes and books to large ones like computers.Undoubtedly, online shopping has brought us many conveniences. Yet its potential dangers to the consumer could not be ignored. One possible risk is that consumers might not get the exact product they want because the information provided might not be enough or reliable. For a simple example, a consumer who wants to buy a pair of shoes might end up getting a pair with desired style but unfit sizes. After all, people have to try themselves when buying clothes or shoes. Moreover, if consumers do not pay attention to the credibility of online stores, they might get cheated.Therefore, consumers should firstly be aware of the credibility of an online store. Secondly，people should not jump on the bandwagon because not all online shopping brings about convenience. Instead, they have to make their own judgment as to the kind of products that could be bought online. Thus, they could avoid possible trouble causing by inadequate or inaccurate information provided by an online store.。
