题目:Will e-books replace traditional books ?
1. 随着信息技术的发展,电子图书越来越多。
2. 有人认为电子图书将会取代传统图书,理由是...
3. 我的看法
Recent decades have seen the rapid development of information technology, and thereby e-books have wound their way into our daily life. Because of the wide and quick popularity of e-books, there has been an increasing controversy over the question of whether e-books will replace traditional books or not.
Many people hold the idea that it will not take long for e-books to replace traditional books because e-books have quite a few advantages over traditional ones. First, e-books are more accessible to readers, because the readers just need to log onto the internet and read online. Second, thanks to the advanced technology, the cost of e-books is much lower, so it takes readers far less money to buy e-books. Last but not the least, reading e-books has developed into part of our daily life, which is particularly appealing to young users, who are the body part of the users of electronic products.
As far as I’m concerned, it is not likely for e-books to replace traditional books for lots of reasons. For example, long time of reading e-books will do more harm to our eyes, and readers will find themselves more accessible to printed materials because computers and the internet haven’t yet been popularized to every corner of our life.

The digital age
1. 如今,数字化产品越来越多,如…
2. 使用数字化产品对于人们学习工作和生活的影响
Digital Age
With the popularization of advanced technology and the reduction of prices for electric appliances, digital products have made their way into most people's life nowadays, such as computers, cameras, mp3s, as well as mobile phones.
We don't have to look very far to find out the effects digital equipment has on all aspects around us. On the one hand, digital products greatly facilitate our work, study and life. For instance, on a freezing winter morning, the entire home is "on" with merely a clip of mouse - delicious cereal boiling in the pot, hot coffee made in the kettle, the car warmed-up in the garage. How comfortable and convenient life can be! On the other hand, some people may be dependent on such facilities; some of them may even get addicted to them. Take some young people as an example, they have been wasting too much time playing online games due to lack of self-discipline and proper supervision.
In short, digital products act as a double-edged sword, whose influences are determined by the uses they are put to. We are supposed to make most out of them while trying to avoid the possible side-effects.

Should one expect a reward when doing a good deed
1.有的人认为应该有回报
2.另外的人认为应该象雷锋一样不要回报
3.我的看法
Now it is common to hear a reward in dong a good deed. There is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of it .
People who expect the reawrd have their reasons.Some people are in favor of the idea.First,they think that we can be encouraged easily by this to do good things. Second,they are attached to the belief that "no pains,no gains".That is to say,they shoulk gains something after doing efforts. Third,they say that a good deed is to be valued properly in this worlk.
But others may not agree. Those who dislike the expectation have their reason.For one thing,they regard Lei Feng as a model,which means praises or payment is beyond a good deed. For another, they believe that we , as students in China, should do these matters without any payments.
There is some truth isn both arguments. Judging from the above,I man safely draw the conclusion that a reward does more good than harm,if we get it legally. Certainly,there is little doubt that further attention will be paid to this issue.

Topic:要不要过西方节日
1. 有些人喜欢过西方节日
2. 这一现象的原因
3. 这一现象的影响
Due to the heavy influence of western cultures, more and more modern Chinese people prefer western holidays to traditional ones. When Christmas or Valentine Day comes, youngsters flood into bars, restaurants, and department stores to celebrate these festivals which their ancestors know little about.
The reason behind this social phenomenon is obvious: in a society dominated by mass media and consumerism, festivals and holidays from abroad are labeled as “fashionable and new”, while traditional ones as something “out of date or old”. Young people all over the world have regarded western life style depicted in Hollywood films as their ultimate goal of life.. Therefore it’s no wonder that Chinese young people love Christmas much more than Spring Festival..
The influence of such a social phenomenon should be carefully studied. In my opinion, the wide spread and recognition of western holidays will definitely harm our traditional value.. If we don’t take some measure, in years to come, Chinese cultural heritage may be alien to our offspring.. It’s high time that the government took some action

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Reading Classics. You should write at least 150 words following the outline give below.
1.阅读经典书籍对人的成长至关重要
2.现在愿意阅读经典的人越来越少,原因是……
3.我们大学生应该怎么做
As we all know, books, especially the classics, are very important to people, because they can give us knowledge and get us to know the world better.
Nevertheless, people, especially the young, are paying less and less attention to reading books. Why is that? In the following paragraphs, I’ll try to explore the reasons.
On the one hand, modern people have to keep up with the quick pace of the times and deal with the stress of their work or life. That is to say, they are too busy to devote any time to reading books.
On the other hand, there are many modern recreational activities which are available when people want to relax. In other words, people would prefer some other forms of entertainment to reading classics when they have some free time.
As far as I am concerned, people, especially college students should read more classics. Because they can not only bring us relaxation, but also bring us knowledge and thoughts which will benefit us in the long run.

题目:国外旅游
1. 近十年来某城市越来越多人选择出去旅游
2. 出现这种现象的原因
3. 这种现象可能产生的影响
表格:
1995 2000 2005
1万人 近4万 12万以上
From the table, we can see that in the past 10 years, the number of people in a given city who have gone traveling abroad has increased considerably. Especially in the recent 5 years, the figure has been more than tripled, surging from 40,000 to 120,000.
There are several reasons for the change. Firstly, with the development of economy, more and more people become better off. And their ability to finance their trip abroad is growing. Secondly, tourism has greatly developed over the decade. Travel agencies offer not only domestic packages but also travel specials abroad. In addition, individuals today are expected and encouraged to go outside to widen their horizon and to face the real world of globalization. In this way they hope to keep themselves informed of what is going on around the world.
From the changes reflected in the table, we can predict that the number of individuals going out of the country will boost. This encouragingly and inevitably facilitates the cultural exchange between ours and the rest of the world and this trend will be irreversible.
In recent years, more and more citizens here would like to travel abroad. In 1995, the number of people who would like to travel abroad was 10000, which increased to nearly 40000 in 2000. And in 2005, the number further climbed above 12,000. There are several reasons for the shocking rise.

1. 目前盗版的现象比较严重
2. 造成这种现象的原因及危害
3. 我们应该怎么做
Useful words and expressions:
盗版:piracy (n.)
盗版产品:pirated products
知识产权::intellectual property rights
侵犯版权:infringe sb's copyright; copyright infringement
范文:
Nowadays, the problem of piracy has become more and more serious. Books, tapes, VCDs and others high-tech products have been pirated. For instance,when a new product comes onto market, most probably, its pirated counterpart will soon put on its appearance in the market, too.
Piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers, inventors and writers in many ways. To start with,the pirated products often cost much less than the genuine ones so that they enjoy a better trading position in spite of their relatively poor quality. The genuine products, on the contrary, sell poorly. What's worse, pirated books sometimes do great harm to the authors' reputation due to some misprints.In the long run,pirated products may have a negative impact on customers. Those legitimate producers' creativity and enthusiasm may be deeply hurt by the fact that some customers are more interested in the pirated products for the sake of small gains.
In my opinion, it's high time that everyone started the battle against piracy. First,customers should develop their consciousness to resist the pirated products. Second,the government should take effective measures to put an end to piracy. Finally,laws must be strictly enforced to completely ban piracy. Only in this way can we wipe the pirated products out of our life.

June 19, 2004
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to reflect some problems I came across recently and. appeal to the improvement of the service industry.
This weekend I bought an English-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover is elaborately designed. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that the several pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect my comprehension. Since there was such damage and misprint to the dictionary, I went to the bookstore to require for a replace. But to my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality of the dictionary.
It goes without saying that today’s face-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard for service industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It’s self-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industry will not only deeply disappoint customers but also hamper the development of our country’s economy. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to the service industry to attach more importance to the service improvement.
Thank you for your attention!
Sincerely yours,
Sam

Reduce Waste on Campus
1.有些大学校园浪费现象日益严重
2.浪费的危害
3.杜绝浪费, 从我做起
范文:
As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on.
The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some students dependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least important, there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help.
As far as I am concerned, I should set a good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all, I will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. What’s more, I’m determined to call on more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus.

Directions: 图表作文,关于一个美国大学图书馆的图书流动量(pop fiction, general nonfiction, science,art等),给出他们的流动比例对比,说明原因,并说明你自己喜欢阅读什么样的书。
范文:
From the table based on a survey we made of the reading preferences of students in an American university in 2002, we learnt that, of all kinds of bookds, contemporary university students like ficitions best, which has 65.9 percent of book circulation in library while other kinds of books have low percentage: general nonfiction --18.2, science/technology/education-10.8,art/literature/poetry--5.1.
It suggests that contemporary students are much more easily influenced by the fashion than ever before. It's a reasonable and good phenomenon because it reveals that university students like to keep up with the development of society. Thus they will easily adapt themselves into the new life after they graduate from school.
Generally, I like reading nonfictions, for it is tightly connected with the reality. To some degree, it's no use reading too much fictions which sometimes will take you into fancy fantasy. Fast life pace also don't allow me to read books on art or poetry. To me, nonfiction is even helpful in analyzing society and humanity.

Changes of Ownership of Houses in China
范文:
Ownership of houses in China has changed greatly in the past decade. In the past, most houses were stateowned. But now, private houses are everywhere. As is shown in the chart above, in 1990, the city's houses were mainly state-owned, with a percentage of 75. This percentage became 60 in the year 1995 and then dropped sharply to 20 in 2000. At the same time, the number of private houses has soared up to 80 percent.
There are mainly two reasons that account for this rapid change. Firstly, the government has been forwarding the policy to support private houses programs. These programs have proved to be very important in developing China's economy. Secondly, with the development of economy, people's standard of living has risen. They want to have their own houses to satisfy their needs.
The change has enabled more people to enjoy larger living space. At the same time, people feel pressure to make more money so that they can buy their own houses.

1. 当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象
2. 诚实利人利已,做人应该诚实
It Pays to Be Honest
范文:
Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams.
Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won’t buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot.
Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them, Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.
In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that we should be honest.

1. 上图所示为某校大学生平均每周使用计算机的时间: 1990年(2 hours)、1995年(4 hours)、2002年(14 hours),请描述其变化;
2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因(可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明);
3. 你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。 Student Use of Computers
范文:
Students tend to use computers more and more nowadays. Reading this chart, we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than 2 hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4 hours; while in 2000, the number soared to 20 hours.
Obviously computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several reasons for this. First, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Also, the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. Besides, the prices of computers are getting lower and lower, which enables more students to purchase them.
Along with the time spent on computers, there arise some problems. The most serious one is that many students are spending so much time playing PC games so that they ignore their studies. It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper way.

January 12th, 2002
Dear Mr. President,
I’m very lucky to attend this world-famous university, but I’m afraid I’m not content with the canteen service on campus.
Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year round, they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety.
Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food.
Finally, the environment is so noisy that we can’t enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax.
These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of may other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions.
By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.
Best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Liming

1. 面试在求职过程中的作用
2. 取得面试成功的因素:仪表、举止谈吐、能力、专业知识、自信、实事求是......
范文:
Nowadays, in an ever tighter job market, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant. The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job. On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right person for the company. On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the salary, the working conditions and many other things about the job he is interested in.
Therefore, the job interview is very important to a job-hunter. But how can one succeed in it? Firstly of all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or her appearance. The first impression is always where we start. Get dressed properly and neatly. Secondly, good manners are equally important. Don’t be too proud, and neither too timid. Just be courteous. Thirdly, the interviewee must demonstrate his aptitude and skills for the job and his knowledge about eh job-related areas. Be confident. Last but not the least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.
To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be nervous. As long as the interviewee has the ability for the job, with careful preparation and a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.
