Conflicts with others are common in everyday life. During the basketball game yesterday afternoon, Su Hua and Li Jiang bumped into each other, trying to catch the ball. Then they started shouting and yelling, and it turned into a horrible quarrel.To be honest, it was Su’s fault but Li was also to blame—they were not calm enough and both said some really mean things. They cared too much about winning and losing. As a matter of fact, blocking, pushing and bumping are just part of a tough game.To avoid such conflicts, we should be kind to one another, which is essential to enjoying a harmonious life. It is also a virtue to forgive and forget, especially in such a competitive and stressful society. Instead of blaming each other, we should communicate more and put ourselves in others’ place.Don’t be self-centered and try to be considerate. We must learn to handle conflicts calmly and wisely.(150 words)。

A kindergarten school bus, which was seriously overloaded, crashed into a big truck, causing 21 deaths, including 19 kids,a school teacher and the driver himself. Shocked and sad at the news, people feared that accidents like this would happen again and thus called for the government to take immediate action. To people's relief, the State Council officially issued the School Bus Safety Regulations on April 5th, 2012 and ordered the act should be put into effect in all places. The act not only reveals the government's great concern about people's lives, but also helps create a more stable society.第二节读写任务Possible version:An elephant told a restless fly that being absorbed in doing things helped him stay still. After hearing the story from his teacher, the disciple realized that only by controlling his senses can he obtain calmness. (36 words)After reading the story, I was inspired by what the elephant said. The ability to focus your attention is the key to your success in doing anything. Just like the fly, a person who is easily distracted by the surroundings will feel restless and tired, unable to achieve his success.This reminds me of what happened when I entered high school as a Senior One student. I was so excited to find that there were various student organizations and after-class activities intended for us students. It seemed that many groups were suitable to me. During the first term, I was attracted whenever there was a notice from a student group and I was eager to find out more about it. As a result, I didn’t spend enough time on my studies, nor could I settle down on my homework every day. Consequently, I failed in an important exam.I have learned a lesson from this experience that one should focus on one thing ata time before he can get it well done. To do so, we should put what we are doing in the first place and keep it up without being interfered by other events. Only when we have a clear and determined mind can we accomplish something in the end.。
