The Changes in My Hometown
In the past, my hometown was very small. People lived a poor life. The houses were old and small. Pollution was very serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The transportation was not convenient, so few visitors came here.
Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. The environment has become much better. The mountains have turned greener. The rivers are clearer and the sky is bluer. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to visit our city.
I’m sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.
2. Changes in Our Hometown
In the past ten years, great changes have taken place in our hometown.
In the past, there used to be old houses. The river was very dirty. The roads were narrow and the living conditions were hard. People went to work on foot or by bike.
But now, there are many tall buildings in my hometown. The river is clean and the water is clear. There are many ring roads and the living conditions are comfortable. People usually go to work by bus or by car.
I am glad to see these great changes in my hometown. But I think it’s still important to remember the past. It tells that we should cherish the present life. (珍惜现在的生活)
3. The Population Problem
The population is one of the biggest problems in the world today. China has the largest population with 1.3 billion. It’s about one fifth of the world’s population. A large population causes many difficulties, not only for every family, but also for the whole nation. It has become a serious problem. In many less developed areas, some parents prefer boys to girls. As a result, many girls can’t go to school.
I think we should do something to control the population. One is known as the one-child policy. It has worked well in controlling China’s population.
4. Saving Our Earth(拯救地球)
As we know, we have only one earth, but man is making the earth sick. For example, people cut down too much trees and throw rubbish away here and there. Many factories pour waste water into rivers and lakes. As a result, a lot of rich land has changed into desert, Many rivers and lakes are dead now. The air is becoming dirtier and dirtier. The temperature(温度)on the earth becomes higher and higher. Many people now are in bad health. I think everyone should reduce the waste. Recycling can protect the environment and save money. We shouldn’t buy paper bottles or paper cups. If we are greener people, our world will become more and more beautiful.
5. Saving the Earth(拯救地球)
As we know, There are many kinds of pollutions around us, such as air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution and light pollution. They not only pollutes our environment but also does great harm to people’s health. How to protect the environment has become one of the biggest problems in the world. I think we should not throw rubbish everywhere. Stop factories pouring waste water into the rivers and the lakes. What’s more, we should reduce the waste we produce and plant more trees.
We have only one earth. We must keep our environment clean and tidy. We must try our best to protect her, and make our home more and more beautiful.
6. How to Be a Greener Person(怎样成为一个环保人士)
It’s our duty to protect the environment around us. The three Rs—reduce, reuse and recycle—are important. I think we’d better not buy bottles or boxes which people can only use once. We should turn off the lights when we are not using them. We can give old clothes to others to reuse them. When we go shopping, we’d better take a cloth bag rather than use plastic bags. We shouldn’t throw things away if they can be reused, repaired or recycled. It’s important for us to protect animals and plants. We are supposed to stop the factory from pouring waste water into rivers, lakes and so on. If everyone is doing that, our world will become more and more beautiful.

10.现在上网成了许多学生的主要娱乐方式之一。假如你叫陈真, 你最近对所在学校的60名同学(30名男生, 30名女生)进行了上网目的调查。请根据调查结果, 写一篇80词左右的短文。
How to use the Internet
I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in our school about their purposes of surfing the Internet. All the boys and girls like chatting very much.
What the boys like best is playing computer games. And shopping is the girls’ favorite. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails through the Internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information or keep in touch with friends. Only several of them use Internet as a tool to study. So I think students should be guided to use the Internet better.
11. Use the computer properly (谈谈对电脑的看法)
As we know, computer is widely used in our lives. And it helps us in many ways.
At work, we can use computer to do business and do shopping. Astronauts use computer to control the speed, the direction and the temperature of the spaceship. In hospital, computer can help doctors find out the diseases and solve the problem.
At home, we use computer to pay games, listen to music, watch movies, chat on line and so on.
Computer plays an important part in our lives. However, if we play on the computer too long, we may have sore eyes, and we may have no time to exercise or study. So we should use the computer properly.
