The picture describes a prevailing phenomenon of college students entrepreneurship.In recent years, college graduates are encouraged to start their own business instead of pursuing employment. People hold different views toward this burgeoning phenomenon. Those who favor it argue that college students are of energy, audacity, and enthusiasm which compose the essential qualities of an entrepreneur. Moreover, having accomplished the higher education, they have acquired some theoretical knowledge which offers a deep insight into some matters. But people who object to this practice insist that college students are subject to setbacks and failures due to their lack of social experience and sufficient preparation.Personally, college students have both strengths and weaknesses in starting business. As long as they can make most of the former and minimize the latter, they will create their own colorful world. After all, one can"t learn to swim unless he goes into water. [解析] 1.第一段考生应简要地描绘图中的情景(a brief description of the picture),并点明其主题,即大学生创业现象。
Find out the point and support in the following paragraph and essay.The Hazards of Movie-goingAlthough I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. To get to the theater, I have to drive for at least thirty minutes or more if traffic is bad. It can take forever to find a parking spot, and then I have to walk across a huge parking lot to the theater. There I encounter long lines, sold-out shows, and ever-increasing prices. And I hate sitting with my feet sticking to the floor because of other people’s spilled snacks. Another problem is my lack of self-control at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks. My choices might include a bucket of popcorn, a box of Milk Duds, a giant soda, or all three. The worst problem is some of the other moviegoers. Kids run up and down the aisle. Teenagers laugh and shout at the screen. People of all ages drop soda cups and popcorn tubs, cough and burp (打嗝), and talk to one another. All in all, I would rather stay home and wait to see the latest movie hits on cable TV in the comfort of my own living room.The Hazards of Movie-goingI am a movie fanatic. My friends count on me to know movie trivia and to remember every big Oscar awarded since I was in grade school. My friends, though, have stopped asking me if I want to go out to the movies. While I love movies as much as ever, the inconvenience of going out, the temptations of the theater, and the behavior of some patrons are reasons for me to wait and rent the video.To begin with, I just don’t enjoy the general hassle (trouble) of the evening. Since small local movie theaters are a thing of the past, I have to drive for thirty minutes to get to the nearest multiplex. The parking lot is shared with several restaurants and a supermarket, so it’s always jammed. I have to drive around at a snail’s pace (像蜗牛般爬行) until I spot another driver backing out. Then it’s time to stand in an endless line, with the constant threat that tickets for the show I want will sell out. If we do get tickets, the theater will be so crowded that I won’t be able to sit with my friends, or we’ll have to sit in a front row gaping up at a giant screen. I have to shell out (pay) a ridiculous amount of money ―up to $8 ―for a ticket. That entitles me to sit while my shoes seal themselves to a sticky floor coated with spilled soda, bubble gum, and crushed Raisinets.Second, the theater offers tempting snacks that I really don’t need. Like most of us, I have to battle an expanding waistline. At home I do pretty well by simply not buying stuff that is bad for me. I can make do with (设法/勉强应付) snacks like celery (芹菜) and carrot sticks because there is no ice cream in the freezer. Going to the theater, however, is like spending my evening in a Seven-Eleven that’s been equipped with a movie screen and comfortable seats. As I try to persuade myself to just have a diet Coke, the smell of fresh popcorn dripping with butter soon overcomes me. Chocolate bars, the size of small automobiles, seem to jump into my hands. I risk pulling out my fillings (补牙用填料) as I chew enormous mouthfuls of Milk Duds. By the time I leave the theater, I feel disgusted with myself.Many of the other patrons are even more of a problem than the concession stand (影院里的贩卖处). Little kids race up and down the aisles, usually in giggling packs. Teenagers try to impress their friends by talking back to (反驳/回嘴) the screen, whistling, and making what they consider to be hilarious (欢闹的) noises. Adults act as if they were at home in their own living room. They comment loudly on the ages of the stars and reveal plot twists that are supposed to be a secret until the film’s end. And people of all ages create distractions. They crinkle (弄皱) candy wrappers, stick gum on their seats, and drop popcorn tubs or cups of crushed ice and soda on the floor. They also cough and burp, squirm (蠕动) endlessly in their seats, file out (鱼贯而出) for repeated trips to the rest rooms or concession stands, and elbow me out of the armrest on either side of my seat.After arriving home from the movies one night, I decided that I was not going to be a moviegoer anymore. I was tired of the problems involved in getting to the theater, resisting unhealthy snacks, and dealing with the patrons. The next day, I arranged to have premium (额外花费) movie channels installed as part of my cable TV service, and I also got a membership at my local video store. I may now see movies a bit later than other people, but I’ll be more relaxed watching box office hits in the comfort of my own living room.。

Layout of English lettersA formal English letter is generally composed of six parts:信头 ( Letterhead) 收信人姓名地址 (Inside address) 称呼 (Salutation)正文(Body) 结束敬语(Complimentary close) 署名 (Signature)Task: Below is a formal invitation letter in full-blocked format. Ask the students to study it carefully, identify each part and talk about the differences between Chinese letters and English letters. Sample 1: 邀请某位教授参加计算机年会的信函1.Dept. of Computer ScienceFudan UniversityShanghai 200433PR ChinaMarch 15th, 20012.Prof. Woodrow BushyDept. of ComputerNew York UniversityNew YorkUSA3.Dear Prof. Bushy:4.Re: Invitation to Annual Computer Society Conference in September 2001 5.It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the 11th Annual Computer SocietyConference. This year's conferencewill be held in Beijing from September23 through September 27.We are offering a valuable program with industry-wide applications by speakers who are recognized experts in their fields on topics with many implications for the future. Ample time is scheduled for discussion periods. In addition, tours to two large computer companies will be arranged.Enclosed please find information on accommodations, transportation and registration.If you have any questions, please call the session coordinator, Julie Han at 86-21-82316661.6.Yours sincerely,7.(signature)Wang QiangChairmanDept. of Computer Science8.WN/kpl9.Encl.:Information on accommodations, transportation and registration.Introduce the important features and conventions of each part and ask the students to read through the handout after class. We may ask the students to practice writing at the same time. Forexample, ask them to write a letterhead after we talk about it.1.Letterhead(信头)This part includes the address of the writer and the date of writing. It helps the recipient identify where the letter was from and when written so as to answer with convenience. Call students’ attention to the different address and date writing between English and Chinese:The address is arranged in English in the order of the house number and name of the street(road or avenue); the name of the city (town); and the name of the state(province or county) and may also include the post code,; and then the name of the country. (The name of the country in the address is usually omitted if the writer and the reviver of the letter are in the same country.)e.g.100083中国北京市海淀区学院路37号37 Xueyuan Road,Haidian District,Beijing 100083,PR China.地址缩写词:A VE = Avenue E = East W = West RD = RoadBLDG = Building EXPY = Expressway DST = District FLT =FlatHWY = Highway SQ = Square INST = InstituteIn English the date is written in this way:April 30, 2001,(AE)or 30 April, 2001(BE)Year: be given in full in full form.Month: be written in complete form or acceptably abbreviated forms, to avoid misunderstanding (e.g.5/12/ 2003)January (Jan.), February (Feb.), March(Mar.), April (Apr.), May, June, July,August (Aug.), September (Sept.),October (Oct.), November (Nov.),December (Dec.)Day: both cardinal and ordinal numbers are okComma may or may not be used.Call the students’ attention to the differences in American English and British English letterhead writing: The Americans prefer the order of month, day and year; while the British prefer the order of day, month and year.The Americans prefer no punctuation at the end of each line; while the British prefer a comma after each line and a period after the last line.In AE. 122 Third AVE.New York, N.Y. 10017U.S.A.Jan.18,1999In BE. 122 Third AVE.,New York, N.Y. 10017,U.S.A..18 Jan.,19992.Inside Address (收信人姓名地址) This part refers to the address of the recipient, which includes the recipient’s name, title and address.The way to write the address should be exactly the same as that on the envelope. Guidelines:Know the name of the receiver: use full name and title.E.g. Mr., Mrs. , Miss, Ms. … ; or Dr.David SmithDavid Smith, Jr. (Sr. , or Ph.D.)Don't know who will read your letter , address your letter directly to the organization concerned.E.g. Harper and Grant Ltd.Write to a particular person in a company or organization, but don’t know his or her name.E.g. The Manager, The Director, The Chairman, The Sales Manager, The Secretary.If the name and title are long, indent the second line two spaces.E.g. Executive Secretary toThe Chairman3.Salutation (称呼): a greeting to the addresseeUsually two spaces below the inside address against the left margin.The British tend to use a comma after the salutation and the Americans a colon (esp. In business letter).Each word in the salutation must start with a capital letter.How to salute depends on how you are related to the addressee.在正式英语信件中,则要根据收信人是谁而进行相应的变动。
一级英语作文范文10篇In the realm of English language proficiency, thefirst-level English essay stands as a fundamental milestone. These essays, often concise and to the point, offer a glimpse into the basic structure, vocabulary, and grammar skills expected of learners. More than just exercises in writing, they are teaching tools that help students master the fundamentals of composition and communication.The essence of a first-level essay lies in itssimplicity and clarity. These essays are often narrative or descriptive, focusing on a single idea or event. Theyrequire students to organize their thoughts, selectrelevant vocabulary, and construct sentences that are grammatically correct and meaningful. Through this process, students learn to convey their ideas effectively, using the English language as a medium.Here are ten examples of first-level English essays, each illustrating a different aspect of essay writing:**Essay 1: My First Day at School**On my first day at school, I felt nervous and excited. The school building was huge, and there were so many new faces. My teacher was kind, and she helped me feel welcome.I learned many new things that day, and I made some new friends.

英语一作文书写Certainly, I understand you need to write an English essay without revealing your prompt. Below is a sampleessay that meets your requirements:Title: The Impact of Technology on Modern Society。
In today's fast-paced world, technology plays an increasingly integral role in shaping our society. From communication to education, transportation to entertainment, technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives. In this essay, I will explore the multifaceted impact of technology on modern society.First and foremost, technology has transformed the way we communicate. The advent of smartphones and social media platforms has made it easier than ever to connect with people across the globe instantly. Whether through text messages, emails, or video calls, individuals can now communicate in real-time, transcending geographicalbarriers. This interconnectedness has facilitated the exchange of ideas, cultures, and information on an unprecedented scale, fostering greater understanding and collaboration among people worldwide.Furthermore, technology has revolutionized the field of education. The internet has become a vast repository of knowledge, offering endless opportunities for learning and skill development. Online courses, tutorials, and educational websites have democratized access to education, allowing individuals to pursue their academic interests regardless of their geographical location or socioeconomic background. Additionally, digital tools such as interactive whiteboards and educational apps have enhanced the learning experience, making it more engaging and immersive for students of all ages.In addition to communication and education, technology has also had a profound impact on transportation. The invention of automobiles, airplanes, and high-speed trains has transformed the way we travel, making it faster, safer, and more convenient than ever before. Moreover, theemergence of ride-sharing services and autonomous vehicles promises to revolutionize urban mobility, reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions in the process. As technology continues to advance, the transportation landscape will likely undergo further transformation, ushering in a new era of sustainable and efficient mobility.Furthermore, technology has revolutionized the entertainment industry, offering a plethora of digital content ranging from streaming services to virtual reality experiences. Platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube have democratized access to entertainment, allowing consumers to enjoy their favorite movies, music, and shows anytime, anywhere. Additionally, advancements in CGI and special effects have raised the bar for visual storytelling, immersing audiences in rich and immersive worlds like never before. As technology continues to evolve, the boundaries between reality and fiction will continue to blur, opening up new possibilities for creative expression and entertainment.In conclusion, technology has fundamentally transformedmodern society in profound and far-reaching ways. From communication to education, transportation to entertainment, technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives, reshaping the way we work, live, and interact with one another. While the impact of technology is undeniably positive in many respects, it also presents challenges and complexities that must be addressed. As we navigate theever-changing landscape of technology, it is essential to harness its potential for the greater good while mitigating its negative consequences. Only by doing so can we ensure a future where technology serves as a force for progress and prosperity for all.。
公共英语一级书信作文范文English:Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing this letter to express my concerns about the traffic congestion in our city. The increasing number of vehicles on the roads has resulted in long delays, especially during rush hours. This not only affects the daily commute of citizens but also contributes to air pollution. I believe that this issue can be addressed by improving public transportation and encouraging the use of alternative modes of transport such as cycling and walking. By investing in better infrastructure and promoting eco-friendly ways of commuting, we can reduce traffic congestion and create a more sustainable environment for everyone. I urge the local authorities to take immediate action to tackle this problem before it escalates further. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Yours sincerely,[Your Name]中文翻译:尊敬的先生/女士,我写这封信是为了表达我对我们城市交通拥堵问题的担忧。

D. The Paragraph
1.Effective paragraphs.
(1)Unity:
Unity of a paragraph is concerned with its content.If all the sentences in the paragraph lead to one central theme,the paragraph is unified.The central theme is usually summarized in what is called the topic sentence.
2.Ways of developing paragraphs.
1>Development by time.
In telling a story or recounting an event, the easiest and clearest way is to
describe things in order of time. The
method is also called chronological
sequencing.
2>Development by process.
When you have to explain how something is
done, you usually follow a chronological
sequence and give a step-by-step description.
As the steps must occur one after another, the exact order in which they are carried out is
most important. In giving instructions,
imperative sentences and sentences with the
indefinite pronoun you as the subject are often used. The present tense should be used if the
instructions are still applicable.
3>Development by space.
Before we begin to describe a place,
whether it is a large country or a small
room, we have to decide on the order in
which to name the different parts or
details. For this we should find out the
space relationships between them and
arrange our description accordingly. It
would only confuse the reader to mention them in a haphazard way.
4>Development by example or generalization.
Supporting a topic sentence with examples or illustrations makes a general statement specific and easy to understand.An illustration is a case,a specimen,an instance.Vivid illustrations light up abstract ideas and make them clear, interesting,memorable,or convincing.。
