作文一：校园活动
Directions: From this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a camp activity that has benefited you most. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but more than 180 words。
As a college student, it is full of meaning to participate in various camps which are beneficial for us. Among the camps I involved before, the English Summer camp held by our university with a small group of Chinese college students as well as some friends from English Spoken countries made me the most impressive。
There are two factors for my belief. For one thing, I expanded my scope of knowledge for the lecture made by a professor of the Harvard University. Though I have been learning English for almost ten years, getting knowledge from foreign teachers can still be something inspiring. I really want to know about current English countries’ culture, such as education, economy, politics and so on. In this way I could know more about the world and it would help me make right decisions when I graduate from university whether going abroad for further study or not. And it would also help me understand more about our own country. The second reason for me is that the activities also changed me a lot, including English corner, English drama play, interesting knowledge competition and the like. Undisputedly, all these activities can not only help us learn more skills but improve our English。
In conclusion, it was my great pleasure to take part in this activity. I do believe that other kinds of outdoor activities would bring us a lot of advantages, so I would make effort to participate in such activities in the remaining years of my college study。
难忘的朋友1
I have met so many friends in my college life. They have exerted enormous influence on my life. However, one of my most impressive friends is my roommate, Li Ming.
In the class meeting on the first day of school, Li Ming did not impress us at all. We started to notice him because he was always late for classes. We were thus impressed by his laziness. I came to know him and his situation because we were roommates and spent much time together: his mother was seriously ill and sick abed in long-term, his father left him and his mother mercilessly. Hence, it was him that shouldered the heavy burden of taking care of his sick mother supporting the whole family. Finally, under great pressures, he balanced his life and study perfectly: he was no longer always late, took good care of his mother and even won the scholarship many years in a row.
The experience of Li Ming can be one of the most convincing cases of the power of persistence and will. He left a deep impression and imposed a durable influence on me. Indeed, friend such as him can be regarded as asset and property in our life. We have rights to choose our own friends，but we should also be prudent and sensible enough to choose friends who can bring us “positive energy”. (228 words)
在我的大学生活中，遇到了很多朋友。他们对我的人生产生了重大的影响。然而，我印象最深的朋友是我的室友李明。
在开学第一天的入学班会上，他没有给全班同学留下任何印象。李明让我们开始认识他，是因为他总是上课迟到，同学们都以为是个懒惰的人。因为我们是室友，平时的交往比较多，后来我才慢慢了解到他的情况：原来他的母亲罹患重病，长期卧床，父亲残忍地离开他们而去，照顾生病的母亲和养家重任只能由他来承担了。令人惊讶的是，在重压之下，他将自己的生活和学业平衡地很好：他不再总是迟到，将妈妈照顾的很好并且连续几年获得奖学金。
李明的经历是坚持和意志的作用的最有说服力的例子之一。他给我留下的印象无法磨灭，他对我造成的影响持续深远。的确，这样的朋友被视为我们生活中的财富和资产。我们有权利选择自己的朋友，然而交友的过程中，我都应该足够理智和谨慎，选择那些能够给我们带来正能量的真正的朋友。
难忘的朋友2
Without question, Lisa is the person who has influenced my college life most. She is my classmate, who always leaves a deep impression on you by demonstrating her passion for life and the spirit of never yielding, even in the face of extreme challenges. She is the most courageous person I have ever known。
During my college years, it is Lisa that kept teaching me how to live through setbacks in the life journey. I’ll never forget that when I failed in my English examination and I felt overwhelmed, Lisa taught me that failure teaches success, everyone had to persevere and face up to innumerable setbacks, as long as I face my problems bravely, I would create my own wonderful life . With her help , I finally gained the confidence and passed the exam。
Thanks to Lisa, I have learned the importance of courage, which is the indispensable characteristic in my life. She also let me know the importance of confidence. It means a lot to me and still in my head till this day。
毫无疑问，Lisa是大学里对我影响最深的一名同学。她是我同桌，她对生活的激情以及面临极端困境时永不服输的精神永远都能给人留下深刻的印象。她是我见过的最勇敢的女生。
在我的大学生涯中，是Lisa一直教导我如何面对生活中的挫折。我永远都不会忘记，当我没通过英语考试，灰心丧气时，是她教给我，失败是成功之母，每个人都会遇到无数的困难，都应坚持，只要我勇敢面对困难，我肯定能迎来自己美好的生活。在她的帮助下，我最终找回了自信，通过了考试。
多谢Lisa，让我学到了勇气的重要性，这是我性格中不可或缺的一部分。她同时也教会了我自信的重要性。这一切对我意义非凡，至今难忘。
印象最深的大学课程
When it comes to a course that leaves the deepest impression in university, different people stand on different grounds. As for me, the most impressive course in college is “Appreciation of English Movies”， which I like best. I prefer this curriculum to others owing to the following factors。
On one hand, the professor in charge of this course has impressed me most because she is not only knowledgeable but also patient. More importantly, it is this respectable teacher who spurs my interest to English harder and broadens my horizon as well. Until now, what she said in the class often occurs to my mind. On the other hand, there are many discussions in the classroom when we have lessons. We are allowed to talk freely about a movie, the topic ranging from the theme of a film to its casting. So, during the talk, we become increasingly open-minded. And undoubtedly a brain open to everything carries great importance to study, work and life。
Generally speaking, the course on appreciating English films has impressed me most for it is not only instructive but also entertaining. And therefore, I suggest that more similar courses should be offered in the university。
当谈及到令人印象深刻的大学课程时，人们各持己见。我认为，大学里令人印象最深的课程是《英语电影欣赏》，这也是我最喜欢的课程。我喜欢这个课程胜于其他课程的原因如下：
一方面，负责教授本门课程的教授令我印象深刻，她不仅博学而且充满耐心。更重要的是，正是这位受人尊敬的老师燃起了我努力学习英语的兴趣，而且拓宽了我的视野。直到现在，我还每每想起她的谆谆教导。另一方面，这门课程中有很多讨论。我们或许可以畅所欲言，话题从电影主题到电影演员。因此，就这这种交流中，我们的思想越来越开放。而一个开放的大脑对于学习工作机生活无疑都是非常重要的。
总体而言，这门英语电影欣赏课程即有教育意义，又令人愉快，所以它是令我印象最深刻的一门大学课程。也因此，我建议大学应该提供更多类似的课程。
