Test 1
The Impact of Electronic Products on Family Reunion




The
picture
depicts
an
authentic
scene
of
family
get- together.
Everyone
sits
around
the dinner
table
for
the
family
reunion; However,
oddly, both children and young adults immerse themselves in electronic
products like iPhones or iPads, leaving their old parents looking at each
other speechlessly.




In
fact,
family
reunion
provides
a
good
opportunity
for
family
members
to
spend
quality
time
together,
build
positive
memories,
and
keep bonds of kinship. However, it makes no sense if everyone indulges
in
the
fantastic
world
of
electronic
devices,
searching
the
latest
information,
updating
or
following
their
microblogs
or
simply
playing
fascinating games. What they want is only their children's company. How
disappointed and upset they would be if we turn a blind eye to their real
needs.




Personally, I firmly insist that youngsters share more time with their
parents
or
grandparents.
Electronic
products
are
updating
and
changing
from time to time, but our invaluable kinship exists eternally.
Test 2
Self-confidence Pays




One
of
the
most
popular
sentences
online states that

always
act
like
you're
wearing
an
invisible
crown.
What
the
saying


indicates is the importance

of self- confidence, an attitude that we take
towards ourselves.




Here are two main reasons why we should be confident. firstly, it is
the
foundation
of
individual
success.
In
reality,
to
achieve
even
the
smallest goals, and to get through daily duties, and responsibilities in life,
we
have
to
have
self-confidence.
For
example,
when
we
go
for
a
job
interview,
if
our
body
language
gives
any
indication
of
uncertainty,
the
interviewer
may
pick
up
on
that
and
probably
will
give
the
job
to
someone
else.
Second,
a
confident
man
is
less
likely
to
fall
into
fear,
anger and depression. The more confident we are, the less disappointed
we will feel upon being rejected.




To conclude, self- confidence will enable us to succeed and persevere
through setbacks, while lack of confidence will definitely have a negative
effect on our social relations, career achievements and even our mood.
Test 3
My View on Examination- Oriented Education




Where there is education, there come examinations. In the picture, a
student express his feeling:
forget
what
I
learnt.
Though
humorous,
this
cartoon
is
thought-provoking
and
makes
us
think:
Do
students
really
benefit
from
exams?




There is no denying that test results can be used to motivate students


to
learn
more.
However,
such
examination-oriented
education
is
fairly
controversial and cannot achieve the expected goal to improve students'
study.
It
is
not
rare
that
many
students
cram
hard
for
the
tests
and
get
good
results.
Unfortunately,
the
minute
they
finish
the
papers,
they
seemingly forget everything they have learnt.





Hence,
it's
high
time
that
we
reformed
this
examination-oriented
education.
Otherwise,
there
will
be
an
increase
in
the
number
of
test
takers who get high scores but cannot apply theory into practice.
Test 4
Exhaust Fumes




In the cartoon, many automobiles, like a host of pests, are chewing
up a green leaf bit by bit. From the drawing we can easily identify what
the author intends to convey: As emissions from millions of vehicles on
the road increase, exhaust fumes become the major polluter.




Along with the growth of economy, China has witnessed more and
more automobiles running on the streets. As a result, many cities suffer
from
severe
air
pollution
due
to
gas
emissions.
Needless
to
say,
automotive emissions not only cause severe environmental problems, but
potentially do harm to people's health.




In
my
opinion,
a
wide
array
of
solutions
should
be
adopted
to
address
this
issue.
First,
the
government
should
arise
the
public's
awareness
of
environmental
protection
and
encourage
the
use
of


eco-friendly automobiles. Second, every citizen is duty-bound to protect
the environment. In a nutshell, it is imperative that both authorities and
individuals take joint efforts to combat air pollution from traffic fumes
Test 5
College Students' Choice of Reading Materials




The
pie
chart
above
illustrates
the
proportion
of
four
kinds
of
reading
materials
chosen
by
college
students.
Newspapers
account
for
44%
of
their
reading
material,
twice
as
much
as
magazines
which
constitute 22%, while fictions and textbooks only make up 18% and 16%
respectively. It is evident that college students spend the majority of their
time on newspapers, but much less on the rest of reading materials.




There are two main reasons for it. First, compared with other reading
materials, newspapers can help college students learn what is happening
in
the
world
every
day.
Second,
all
kinds
of
newspapers,
ranging
from
foreign
language
newspapers,
sports
newspapers
to
entertainment
newspapers, can cater to different needs of college students.




Along with the increased amount of time spent on newspapers, some
problems arise. The most serious one is that college students spend less
and
less
time
reading
classics,
which
are
the
essence
of
literature.
Therefore, it is urgent that college students choose reading materials in a
proper way.
Test 6


The Key to Be Useful




Different
people
hold
quite
different
opinions
about
the
key
to
be
useful. Many people assert that personal abilities count for much. They
maintain such an idea because a lot of people stand out from their peers
for their remarkable capacities.




However, others believe that opportunities play a vital role in one's
success, which helps to explain why some people rise above while others
similarly talented are left behind.




As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
the
internal
capabilities
are
much
more
important than external opportunities. First, there are various chances in
our society but only those who are prepared
adequately can make good
use of them to achieve their goals. Second, without a ready mind, good
opportunities may slip through one's fingers. Last but not least, no matter
whether there are favorable opportunities or not, what we should do is to
study,
to
struggle,
and
to
improve
ourselves.
In
a
word,
we
can
take
advantage of opportunities to achieve success but never can they be the
only cause of success.
Test 7
Styles of living




Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have
grown up. They hold that they can take of their parents better when living
with them. Meanwhile, they can turn to their parents for help if they get
