Growing up in such environments, theytend to take for granted what they have.

With such anegative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precioustime, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, theymay have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge.Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling fortheir lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life.And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness ofappreciation.▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would never have been ableto make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates.Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there toback me up.

You should write at least 120 words.Sample essayThroughout our lifetime we may encounter many adversities: unable to pay for the education, obstacles in studies and even physical disabilities. Whether we are rich or poor, intelligent or slow, adversity seems the constant companion of many of us.In the face of adversity there are typically two reactions: one is to feel frightened and run away; the other, to face it with courage. But what happens next makes a big difference between the brave and the cowardly. Some people turn away from adversity without even an attempt to make things better; while others, though frightened emotionally or disadvantaged physically, manage to shake off the initial fear and take hold of their bootstraps to pull themselves out of the bad situations they are in. We should choose the attitude of the latter because running away is not going to solve the problem. In addition, this attitude may lead one to acquire the habit of always thinking negatively and thus limit one’s growth and development. (165 words)2) Resilience can help us overcome difficulties in life and make our life and career more successful. But what is resilience? How can one develop resilience? Write a short essay about your understanding of these questions. You may want to draw on the two texts in this unit and give some examples to support your ideas.Sample essay:Resilience is a positive quality some people display when they meet unforeseen difficulties. Resilient people are able to judge reasonably the situation they are in, to make adjustments when necessary, and to remain confident even when the bad situation lasts long. Resilience is like the human muscle, it grows with use and practice; but if ignored, it will weaken.Resilience is both inborn and learnt. Some people who are naturally more open to others or slowerto react to hardship have an advantage when trying to develop resilience. However, anyone with enough determination and applying the right method can do it, too. For example, learning something new and difficult is a good way to challenge ourselves. When we are forced to sit down and memorize hundreds and thousands of new words, our resilience is practiced and promoted. Resilience is a characteristic we all need and can develop. (147 words)。

He may promise to change, but it’s the same old story of saying one thing and doing another.I racked my brains about how to break the terrible news to him.It will be impossible for me to repay my parents for everything they have done for me.For now, it remains to me to thank you once more for joining us and wish you good luck in your work.I said right from the beginning that he would cause us trouble.Theme-Related Writing▆Do one of the following writing tasks after class.In Text A, Helen Keller reminds us of a common phenomenon, “It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not.” Do you think some college students have a similar attitude toward life? What would you like to say to the students who are not sufficiently appreciative of what they have now but idle away their time on campus? Write an essay of about 150 words with the tips given above.It’s natural, and perhaps human, for people to feel overjoyed when given acknowledgement and honor. However, in Text B the author has more than just happiness to share with us about her success and honour. What is it then? Do you get the message the author tries to convey? Think about, for example, your admission to college, a success of some degree for you and your family. Did you receive support, help, and encouragement from your family members, teachers, and friends? When looking back on your journey to the college, what do you want to say to them? Write an essay of about 150 words to share your feelings with your classmates.▆Sample Essay for Task 1:Today, many college students are from single-child families. Growing up in such environments, they tend to take for granted what they have. Some even develop bad habits and character flaws such as self-will, lack ofresponsibility and selfishness.In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge.Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation.▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would never have been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates.Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confidence in me.I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates. My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did notunderstand; my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties together. That was a memorable time in my life!I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am.。

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.。
