Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is not a stranger to life. It can happen anywhere, anytime and to anyone.
No person succeeds all the time. The more development you want to make, the more
failure you might encounter. So, people are faced with failure now and then.
There are different attitudes towards failure. Some people are afraid of failure
and they can not bear the blow of failure, so they stay where they are and try to not
to make progress. Some optimists, however, fight against failure bravely and
achieve all his aims at last.
My attitude is that we aren’t afraid of failure. When we meet with failure, we
don’t lose heart. We should call up all our courage and persist in what you are
engaged in. Remember the proverb: Where there is a will, there is a way.

The Value of Time
A proverb says, “Time is money”. But in my opinion, time is even more
precious than money. “Time is life.” Why? Because when money is spent, we can
earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason
why we must value time.
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of
time. They spend their precious time smoking, drinking and gambling. They do not
realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.
In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not put off
what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but
also lead us to the road of poverty.

People all over the world set great regard on good manners. To certain degree,
good manners indicate a person’s education and breeding. In schools, it is part of
student’s moral training to develop good manners. A person with good manners
always wins praise. On the contrary, people will frown on him if he behaves roughly
and impolitely.
There are good manners in which we behave in public places. It is a good
manner to offer help to the young, the old and the handicapped when they are in
need of it. So is it to conduct ourselves politely and keep away from foul language.
Besides, we should guard against such minor offences as making a loud noise,
casting peels and shells, smoking and spitting.
If everyone has developed good manners, people will form a more harmonious
relationship. If everyone behaves considerately towards others and follows the social
ethics, people will live in a better world. With the general mood of society improved,
there will be a progress of civilization.

To Restrain Spending
The monthly expenditures of college students have been on the rise in the past
few years. Some argue that if the students earn the money themselves, how they
spend it is none of other people’s business, and after all, the general living standard
keeps rising. However, the fact is that most students live on the money their parents
give them. The lure of a more comfortable and fashionable lifestyle—one with name
brand clothing, mobile phones, MP3, and dining out or going to bars with a
girlfriend makes many to be frequent borrowers.
In my opinion, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends, thus
they easily found it impossible to make ends meet and run into debt. When a
student’s spending steps beyond the boundaries of daily necessities, it becomes a
kind of waste. Furthermore, widespread extravagant spending on campus could have
a bad influence on people’s values. But many students see it as a common practice
and not a fault. Though everyone has the right to enjoy a comfortable life, campus is
a place for study. So just think twice before you sign a bill.

【写作思路】
要求写一篇关于宿舍生活的议论文。主要写宿舍生活与家庭生活的区别，
以及宿舍生活的利与弊。
【参考范文】
Dormitory Life
For most university students, dormitory life is a new experience. Most students
have never lived far away from their parents before coming to university. They have
always had their parents to depend on for advice and guidance, and when they
become university students, their lives begin to change.
There are striking difference between home life and dormitory life. Students
must begin to be responsible for their own action. They must depend on themselves
to get up in the morning, on time for class, to eat properly, to keep their clothes and
themselves clean, and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and
relaxation. They must also learn to take care of their money, making sure to preserve
enough for both necessities and for fun.
In general, there are both good and bad points about life in student dormitory.
Often, dormitory rooms are small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one’s
privacy and make it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies. On the
other hand, in a dormitory, students have a great deal more freedom than they might
have at home. They can act according to their own will and desire than to that of
parents.

【参考范文】


Self-employment of College Graduates
Nowadays, our government encourages college graduates to employ themselves
by starting their own career. If their plan is creative and original, the government
will grant a financial aid to them.

This act aims to stimulate graduates’ creativity and alleviate the pressure of
employment. Firstly, the rate of unemployment and underemployment of college
graduates is on the rise in recent years because of the competitive job market.
Secondly, some graduate employees are not satisfied with their present job and their
enthusiasm for work has been frustrated to some degree. Thirdly, some brilliant and
ambitious graduates lack start-up capital even though they have a good idea.

In conclusion, the act does not only bring many opportunities to college
graduates, but also restore their confidence in themselves and the future. Moreover,
many job opportunities are created for the society as a result.

Campus Certificates Craze

【写作思路】

第一段 简述大学生忙于考证的现象
第二段 分析出现这种现象的原因
第三段 我的看法

【参考范文】


If you just randomly ask a student on campus what he is busy doing, very possibly,
he may answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Investigating a
little more, you will find that this has become a new craze among college students.

The reason behind the phenomenon can be summarized into just one: the pressure of
finding a job after graduation. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more
graduates have to compete for the limited job posts. How to make oneself more
competitive? Maybe more certificates at hand. Hoping that the employers might find
one of them more attractive, the students are compelled to run from one exam to
another.

As far as I am concerned, the students should have a more rational attitude toward
certificates, because exam certificates do not necessarily represent one’s ability. For
me, one should work hard at his or her major. Opportunity will come to you if you
are competent enough in your field.

Credit

Credit is of great importance to one’s development. Without credit, one
wouldn’t get the trust from others, let alone get help from others or cooperate with
others.
However, nowadays the whole society is faced with “credit crisis”. To begin
with, business is threatened by the lack of credit and trust between enterprises and
banks. According to a recent survey conducted by the People’s Bank of China, a
total amount of 3240 billion yuan debts were not paid off to banks by the enterprises
in the year of 2006. In addition, lies often exist between friends. For example, Xiao
Wang--- my neighbour --- was persuaded to buy certain insurance product and
turned out to find that he was cheated. What’s more, we have heard lots of news
reports that family members cheated each other for their respective benefits.
We should take measures to improve people’s sense of credit and establish
stricter laws to push the behaviour of those who do not have credit. Only in these
ways can we hope to enhance the credit of the whole society.

Learning to Be Grateful
Nowadays, the education of the youth to be grateful is taken more and more
seriously not only in school, but also in the whole society. Then what is the
importance of learning to be grateful?

Firstly, learning to be grateful makes one see the bright side of life that turns
7

him into a positive person, and can also perfect his personalities, which plays a vital
role in his future development. Secondly, learning to be grateful can make one
become a responsible citizen in the society. Still more importantly, since no
individual live completely independent of others, being grateful, a person will not do
things at the price of sacrificing the interest of others.
Briefly, if everyone is grateful, our society will be more harmonious, our family
will have more happiness, and we, as individuals, will have a more bright future for
self-employment. So let us learn to appreciate what we get, and we will realize what
a blessed life we have.


ions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on
the topic Long Holidays. You should write at least 120 words following the outline
given below in Chinese:
1. 长假给大学生带来的好处
2. 长假可能给大学生带来的问题
3. 我应当怎样利用好长假

Long Holidays

Generally speaking, long holidays are good for us college students. On the one hand,
we have a lot of time to study by ourselves and thus improve weaknesses and further
develop strengths. On the other hand, we can take part- time jobs, which can make us
realize responsibility and make ourselves better prepared for social life.

But every coin has two sides. Some students fail to make good use of their time and
they are addicted to various computer games. I am afraid that they are likely to ruin
themselves in this way.

As far as I am concerned, I will try to make the best use of my precious time. I will
spend most of my holidays studying English for that I am very poor at it. In
addition, I will take a part- time job as private teacher. By this means, I can earn
some money and put my knowledge into practice as well.




ions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on
the topic Jobs for Graduates. You should write at least 120 words and base your
composition on the outline below:
1、 大学生难找工作

2、 原因很多
3、 解决的办法


Job hunting has always been a headache for college students. Though many
graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all,
some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.
The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago
colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as
economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need
in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities
without suitable job to do than go to the counties.
I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures.
First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need.
Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go
to small cities and counties. There they can also give full play to their professional
knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.


ions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on
the topic Is Stress a Bad Thing? You should write at least 120 words and base your
composition on the outline below:
1、 有人害怕压力
2、 有人认为压力并不是坏事
3、 我的看法

In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do
something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will
rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.
In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all,
unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation
and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless,
idle life. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential
and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we
can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from
it.


ions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on
the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words and base
your composition on the outline below:
1、 大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩
2、 考生可能带来的副作用
3、 我对考试的看法

In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of
deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.
Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.
To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are
often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in
9

exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being
approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect
is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the
only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize
mechanically rather than to think creatively.
In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really
important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we
make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?


14. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on
the topic Trying to Renew Knowledge. You should write at least 120 words
following the outline given below in Chinese：
1. 更新知识的重要性
2. 怎样更新知识
3.你自己的感受

Trying to Renew Knowledge

Today’s society is of knowledge economy age, in which new knowledge emerges
much faster than ever before. Moreover, knowledge plays an important part in the
whole economy. Therefore, everyone finds it necessary to renew his (or her)
knowledge, otherwise he (or her) will be left behind the society.

There are some ways to update knowledge. On the one hand, one can attend
different courses at all types of schools, either part-time or full-time. On the other
hand, self-study is, in a sense, a more convenient and practical method by which one
can effectively renew is or her) knowledge.

In my view, I have primarily depended on self-taught method in the recent years.
Although I am busy doing daily work, I still insist on teaching myself at night. In
this way, I can not only keep up with the swift development of society but also apply
new knowledge to my practical work, which benefits me a lot.


15. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on
the topic Silence Is Not Always Gold. You should write at least 120 words following
the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 在现代社会中，“沉默是金”不一定是好事
2. 请举例说明
3. 总结全文

Silence Is Not Always Gold

“Silence is gold”is a popular saying in which many people have belief. To
these people speaking too much is not a merit. However, if you always keep silent,
you will probably miss many golden opportunities instead of obtaining the gold of
silence.
Last week I read an article written by an office lady. The company where
she worked had two kinds of offices: cubicle office and window office. As a new
employee she worked in a cubicle office together with twenty colleagues. Two
10

years later she still worked there but some colleagues who came later than her had
moved into the window office. She felt confused. One day one colleague told her
that window office wasn’t obtained without request. But believing that she
certainly gained one if she did a good job the woman had never asked for it.
From the woman’s experience we learn that silence is not always gold. In the
modern society one needs to speak his mind and speak for his own interests.
