I promise to only make mistakes you never made.Fly to my own skyTwo months ago, I said goodbye to my parents. Having packed up my baggage, I went to my ideal university, majoring in business. I knew my way to the future will be extremely tough, but I had been prepared to meet every challenge.It was the first time that I had ever left my parents. Xi’an Jiao tong University was the first stop where I began my new life. In order to study well, I had been so occupied with my study that I had no time for social activities. Whenever I met any problems, I first tried my best to overcome it, and then turned to my teachers and friends for help. I devoted all my school time to studying. That was because I always had a dream that I would set up my own company after graduation. So I had been trying to fight for it.Four years later, I graduated from university. With the help of my parents, finally I achieved my ambition —my own company. Small as it was, I had enough confidence to manage it well. From management to all subtle things, I devoted all my time and energy to it. Now and then, I worked overtime till midnight, just for making a deal. Unfortunately. Due to my lack of experience and the fierce commercial market competition, my company had to be closed down. I fell into a deep pain.When my parents heard about this, they gave me a call, "Son, we have known you suffered a great blow, but you once promised you only make mistakes we never made. At that time, you were confident of your future. So we hope you can cheer up and continue to keep your promise. Come on, my dear."Parents' words like warm sunshine in cold winter made my heart warm and bright. After a few days, I hunted for a job in a big company. At the beginning, I just was a small staff. But I believed I would succeed in one day. Five years later, as I expected, I became a general manager in this company.After so much, now I realize that confidence and courage are necessary to success. I am not only proud of my success, but also grateful for my parents. Without my parents' support and understanding, I wouldn’t be what I am today.姓名：刘倩倩学校：西安交通大学阳光中学考号：________________Ⅰ. Writing(本题共100分)Study the following picture and complete the conversation. Then write a composition based on the conversation in about 300 words. Your composition will be graded according to clarity, accuracy and meaningfulness.Parents: (Father) My son, congratulations! You are free, Keep it up!Boy: Thanks! Dad.Parents: (Mother) Take good care of yourself. Behave yourself, and don’t make any mistakes.Boy: Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I promise to only make mistakes you never made.Left home, smilingIn front of the door stand three people. The young man is going to leave. The young man’s parents were worried about him and said goodbye to him, while the son smiled. Why did the son smile when leaving home?I think the reason may be that the son was forced for a long time to study and to do what he doesn’t like.Nowadays, the grades for students are becoming more and more important in China. In order to let children study well, their parents force them to study. All in all, all children study at all times.As for me, I feel sympathy for them who are compelled to study at any time and don’t have enough time to play games with friends or do other things they like. In my opinion, the children should have their own colorful and beautiful childhood.But a great many parents, such as “Wolf father”, “Tiger mother”, make their children feel stressful”. “Wolf father”has three children. With his “help”, his children were admitted in the key university. “Tiger mother”has a daughter. She also forced her daughter to study everything well from knowledge of school lessons to piano and dance etc. It’s so tired to face that stressful study load for a child.The son had dreamed of this day for three years. He thought he had already grown up and that he could’t depends on his parents any longer. So the son left home smiling.As high school students, their main job is to study hard. Parents should support and encourage their children to study, not force them to do anything that they don’t like.There are some suggestions to the parents.Firstly, make children have enough time to sleep. Having enough sleep does good to children and can make brain relaxing. It can make study more effective.Secondly, get children to develop one or two hobbies. It can help your children enrich their study life.Finally, no matter what your child was, good or bad, you should accept them by heart. Don’t reform them as you like. Moreover, parents should learn how to talk with them and be children’s friends.姓名：王晓钰学校：西安交通大学阳光中学考号：________________Ⅰ. Writing(本题共100分)Study the following picture and complete the conversation.

Get along well with your classmates. Don’t make bad friends. Keep your words once you promised.Boy: Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I promise to only make mistakes you never made.Mother, I want to tell youEither before or now, I have dreamed of my university life every hour and moment. That is a beautiful campus with everywhere full of youth and knowledge. However, it means that I will leave my parents. How do I say goodbye to my parents. Should I smile, let them feel at ease, cry or hug them?Once I told my mother I wanted to leave Xi’an for other places to go to university. I wanted to widen my horizon and broaden my minds. Hearing this, she didn’t say anything. But I saw a surprise from her eyes, because she never thought that I would have such an idea. My mom loved me, and she never expected that her daughter would be greater, and just hoped her daughter to be safe and live in a happy family together. From then on, I found, my mother always tapped my head, and often hugged me or stared at me for a long time. Now my mother is becoming stricter with me than before, wanting me to become more independent. At the beginning, I didn’t care, just thinking she was too nervous. Gradually, I realized that my idea for my mother is such a big blow, I was really selfish and had never considered about her feelings. I began to shake, I should think over my idea.Today, I will leave my hometown for a big new city and begin my new life by myself. Mother, I want to tell you that I love you forever, that I just want to go out to practice and improve myself and that after graduation I must go home to accompany you and take good care of you, because I am your loved daughter and I love you forever.姓名：赵潇潇学校：西安交通大学阳光中学考号：________________Ⅰ.

I am writing to express my love to you. I am grateful for you to take care of me for so many years.When I get the admission to Beijing University, I am very excited to cry because I had dreamed of this day for three years.

I can work more hard to create my own sky.When I make great progress, I will go back to attend you. I am convinced that I will improve a lot and make a great change—more mature.

外研社英语写作大赛样题及范文样题：假如你是李华，你的笔友Tom说他打算参加一次国际志愿者活动。

请根据以下提纲，写一封信给Tom，询问他的意图并提出一些建议。

1. 询问Tom的意图，为什么他想参加国际志愿者活动；2. 表达对Tom参加国际志愿者活动的支持，并举例说明志愿者活动的好处；3. 提出建议，包括选择合适的志愿者项目、了解相关事宜和做好准备。

范文：Dear Tom,I hope this letter finds you well. I was thrilled to hear that you are planning to participate in an international volunteer program. I'm curious about your motivation and would love to know more about your intentions.Firstly, could you please share with me why you are interested in joining a volunteer program abroad? Is it because you want to make a difference in other people's lives, or do you simply want to explore a different culture? Understanding your reasons will help me provide better advice and support.I must say that I fully support your decision to become a volunteer. Being a volunteer can bring tremendous benefits to both the volunteers and the communities they serve. Not only can you contribute your skills and knowledge to those in need, but you will also gain valuable life experiences and broaden your horizons. For example, when I volunteered at a local orphanage last summer, I was able to see how my efforts made a positive impact on the children's lives. Additionally, I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for different perspectives and cultures, which has greatly enriched my own life.As for the practical aspects, I would suggest that you carefully choose a volunteer project that aligns with your interests and skills. You should consider what kind of work you would like to engage in and what impact you hope to make. Moreover, it would be wise to research the organization or program you are interested in to make sure they have a good reputation and a clear mission. Additionally, it is important to understand the local customs and regulations of the country you will be visiting. This will help you adapt quickly and make meaningful connections with the locals.Lastly, I encourage you to prepare yourself physically and mentally for the challenges ahead. Volunteering can sometimes be physically demanding and emotionally draining. Therefore, it's essential to be fit, maintain a positive mindset, and be open to new experiences. Remember, flexibility and a willingness to learn are key to success in any volunteer program.I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you. Please keep me updated on your progress and let me know if there's anything I can do to assist you.Best wishes and good luck on your upcoming volunteer journey! Sincerely,Li Hua。

2017外研社杯英语写作大赛样题篇1Sample task 1Write a passage based on the chart below, which shows the influences of various factors on work performance in two age groups. You should summarize the features of the two groups and make comparisons. You should write about 600 words.Sample task 2Write a passage to introduce the Chinese Moon Festival to foreigners. You should write about 600 words.English Reading Contest2017外研社杯英语写作大赛样题篇2Read the story starter and continue the story. Complete the story in 600-800 words.The little man came up to me as I was about to enter the telephone box, and asked me whether I had a match.“I’m sorry,”I said. “I don’t smoke, so I haven’t any. You had better ask someone else.”He looked rather disappointed, hesitated, and then turned away. I watched him walk slowly down the street before I picked up the telephone directory to look up the number I meant to dial. I am not used to a public call box so, at my first attempt to get through, the warning pips had stopped before I realized I had to insert a coin.When I was at last able to speak, I was told that the person whom I urgently wanted to give a message to had just that minute gone out.Swearing slightly under my breath, I emerged from the box and came face to face with the little man, who was looking as pathetic as a stray dog. As he raised his hat again, I could see he was quitebald. A thin line, resembling a duelling scar, crossed one cheek. He spoke nervously.“Excuse my troubling you again,”he said. “May I walk along with you a little way? I must confide in someone. I need help desperately.”2017外研社杯英语写作大赛样题篇3Write a passage in response to the report below. You should discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the report and explain your reasons for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the report’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 800 words.Newsweek, the venerable weekly publication that will be remembered for its decades-longeffortsfor a spot on consumers’coffee tables, has shut down its print edition at the end of 2012, but it lives onin a new digital tablet edition known as Newsweek Global. As Tina Brown, the Newsweek editor, said,this tablet edition will target a “new highly mobile, opinion-leading audience who want to learn aboutworld events in a sophisticated context.”The move should not shock. The publication has faced major financial problems in recent years. The numbers tell the tale: Newsweek’s circulation has fallen in the number of subscribers from 3 million to 1.5 million in the last decade; annual losses were thought to be $40 million. More broadly,the company faces a more existential problem in that a “weekly news”magazine has become an anachronism in the digital world.Newsweek is not the only one that has to tackle the challenge in the digital time; other outlets will continue to change their business models for a digital future. With the “imminent death”of print,digital formats come out as an inevitable development that could turn the industry’s fortune around.Sample task 2Read the following two paragraphs with contradicting views, and write a passage on the issue. You should clearly state your opinion and explain the reasons for your opinion. You should write about 800 words.Tablets are the ideal system of organization in schools. They are convenient, in which muchinformation is stored in small sizes and kept together in one place, and cheap, as digital informationis now becoming more affordable than print. As evolution continues to rock the modern world, digitaldevices will become more and more reliable. Someday, they will entirely replace print books, and hopefully, that day will come soon.Many may argue that tablets are much more convenient than paper books. But not everyone sharesthis preference of tablets or finds them convenient. In fact, in a study conducted by Book Industry Study Group (BISG), it was found that 75% of college students preferred traditional textbooks in which they can highlight the key words and write notes. Also, some may suggest that it is cheaper toinvest in tablets than textbooks. In fact, in a 2008 study of public schools in Kentucky it was estimatedthat the cost of textbooks and supplies totaled around $44 million. The cost per school was around $988for textbooks and supplies. That is roughly the cost of only two tablets. To provide tablets to all thestudents in a school would be an enormous sum. Therefore, we may conclude that while tablets have。

外研社英语作文大赛初赛Title: Embracing Diversity: A Journey of Understanding。

In today's globalized world, diversity has become an integral aspect of our everyday lives. Whether it'scultural, ethnic, or linguistic diversity, it presents both challenges and opportunities for individuals and societies. Through my personal experiences, I have come to appreciate the richness that diversity brings and the importance of understanding and embracing it.Firstly, diversity fosters creativity and innovation. When people from different backgrounds come together, they bring with them unique perspectives and ideas. Thisdiversity of thought can lead to more effective problem-solving and the development of innovative solutions to complex issues. In a world where progress is driven by innovation, embracing diversity is not just a moral imperative but also a strategic advantage.Moreover, diversity promotes empathy and understanding. By interacting with individuals from different cultures and backgrounds, we gain insight into their experiences, values, and beliefs. This, in turn, helps break down stereotypesand prejudices, fostering mutual respect and appreciation. As I have traveled to various countries and immersed myself in different cultures, I have learned to see the world through the eyes of others, expanding my worldview and deepening my empathy.Furthermore, diversity enriches our social fabric by celebrating differences and promoting inclusivity. When people feel valued and included regardless of their background, they are more likely to contribute positivelyto society. Inclusive environments also foster a sense of belonging, reducing feelings of isolation and alienation.As a result, diverse communities are often more resilient and cohesive, capable of overcoming challenges together.However, despite the numerous benefits of diversity, it also presents challenges, particularly in the form of cultural misunderstandings and conflicts. Miscommunicationand misinterpretation can arise when people from different cultural backgrounds interact, leading to tensions and discord. Addressing these challenges requires patience, empathy, and a willingness to bridge cultural divides through dialogue and mutual respect.In conclusion, embracing diversity is essential for fostering creativity, promoting empathy, and building inclusive communities. By valuing and celebrating our differences, we can create a more harmonious and prosperous world for future generations. As individuals, we have the power to contribute to this process by engaging with people from diverse backgrounds, challenging stereotypes, and advocating for inclusivity. Only through understanding and embracing diversity can we truly unlock the full potential of our global community.。

2017“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛初赛样题2017“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛初赛Task 1 Argumentative WritingWrite an essay in response to the passage below. You should state clearly whether you agree or disagree with the passage and explain your reasons for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the author’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 500 words.If you still think of the Internet as a means of opening up a vast world of information to people, you may be completely wrong. Playing a positive role in its early days, the Internet is now enclosing people in a walled room.Have you noticed that when different people google the same thing, for example, “Chinese culture” or “America”, they get different search results? Websites selectively guess which information is appropriate to a user based on his/her location, past-click behavior and search history, and tailor information and recommendations accordingly. The more one uses the Internet, the more likely one is kept away from different opinions, and trapped in one’s own cultural ideological bubble. The situation worsens when Internet-boosted social networks creep into every corner of our lives. Although there seems to be a large amount of information updated almost every second, the information is only available from people’s friend-circles or the subscriptions (公众号) they choose. Beyond these circles and choices, people do notreally have access to the unknown.
