我的观点
Spring Festival Gala
on CCTV
The
CCTV
Spring
Festival
Gala
on
CCTV
on
New
Year's
Eve
has
almost
been
an
indispensable
part
of
celebration
of
Chinese
Lunar New Year. A lot of people are accustomed to
enjoying this brilliant visual feast for over two
decades.
However, in recent years, more and more Chinese people argue that the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV should be cancelled.
The
critical voices point out that there are so many
wonderful entertainment programs on TV every day
on different channels
and
it
is
not
necessary
to
waste
money
in
putting
up
the
Spring
Festival
Gala
any
more.
What's
more,
there
has
been
little
change in the item
arrangement of the Gala over the decades, and the
audience are tired of those programs and
celebrities who
come for the show year
after year.
As for me, I prefer the program to stay because it is a tradition and treasure of the Chinese people and offers the quality time
for the whole
family to sit in front of the TV, enjoy the show,
and share the happiness of union.

Selecting Lecturers. You should write at least 120

On
Students Selecting Lecturers
Nowadays,
there arises a kind of education reform trial in
some universities
—
to allow students to choose their favorite
lecturers for
some specific courses. The motivation is to offer
college students a more flexible and efficient way
of learning as
well as to provide a
more competitive environment for teachers.
Generally speaking, there are two
factors for students to consider when choosing
their favorite lectures. First and foremost
is
the
teacher's
academic
ability,
as
the
students
hope
to
get
more
knowledge
in
a
specific
field.
Secondly,
the
teacher's
personality is also taken into account.
If the teacher is kind, charming and humorous, the
students will be more likely to enjoy
the classes they attend and learn a lot
from the good example the teacher sets.
Nevertheless,
attention
should
be
paid
to
the
measure
of
free
choosing
lecturers
because
it
has
both
advantages
and
disadvantages. On the one
hand, it encourages the students to choose their
ideal lecturers and take active part in classes.
This in
turn exerts pressure on the
lecturers as they all want to be
other
hand, some excellent but serious and strict
lecturers may be ignored and have no classes to
teach because they don't know
how to
please the students.

What
Electives to Choose
Directions: For
this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a
short passage entitled What Electives to Choose.

What
Electives to Choose
Nowadays
many
colleges
offer
a
wide
range
of
selective
courses
for
their
students
and
different
students
have
different
concerns in their
options.
Some students only choose the courses to develop their hobbies and extend their interests and make their campus life more
colorful. Some choose those
elective courses to obtain more knowledge for a
plum job
(
一份称心如意的工作
) in the future
job hunting. And others
may have no definite purpose
other than(=except)
getting the credits necessary for graduation.
As far as I am concerned, rich knowledge and good comprehensive quality are necessary to get a good post in the future.
There is no doubt that the
knowledge in the textbook is limited, and it
cannot meet the need of my future life. So in my
college
life I want to not only get the
credits required but also gain more extra-
curriculum knowledge, thus building my way to
success.

作为大学生，我的看法
Recreational
Activities
As
the
saying
goes,
work
and
no
play
makes
Jack
a
dull
boy,
recreational
activities
offer
people
a
good
chance
to
relieve
themselves of the pressure nowadays. With the
development of society and the improvement of
people's living standard,
there
are
more
and
more
kinds
of recreational activities ranging
from
Karaoke,
dancing,
movie-going
to
online
games
and
sports games.
Undoubtedly recreation is indispensable if we are to remain healthy physically and mentally. They can help us not only make
our life
more colorful, build our body and mind, but also
improve our social and communicative ability as
well as make more
friends.
But
like
a
coin with
two
sides,
recreational
activities
can
also
be
harmful
if
undertaken
improperly.
Indulging
in
a
movie
or
a
game
filled
with
violence
and
crimes
is
detrimental
to
one's
mind,
especially
to
children's
development.
Some
people are so addicted to those games
that they even abandon their study or work.
As
a
college
student,
I
think
that
a
wise
choice
and
strict
self-discipline
are
necessary.
We
may
have
various
recreational
activities within a certain limit to
relax ourselves in spare time. Only in this way
can we keep a reasonable balance between
work and play.

Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic
Bags
In our daily life,
most people use disposable plastic bags for shopping and other purposes. However, the excessive use of
disposable plastic
bags has resulted in great damages both to
environment and to people's health.
In the first place, it takes about 200 years for a buried plastic bag to decompose and be absorbed by the soil. Secondly, the use
of disposable plastic bags will
indirectly do harm to people's health, which is
less known to the public. Sometimes people buy
hot food packed in disposable plastic
bags to save the time and labor in washing their
dining utensils. Yet they are not informed
of the fact that the chemicals in the
bags will release in high temperature. Therefore,
they are eating the poisonous stuff while
enjoying the tasty food.
It's enlightening and significant that our government has banned the free provision of disposable plastic bags in supermarkets.
Trial
practice
has
shown
considerable
reduction
in
the
consumption
of
bags.
In
a
word,
fewer
plastic
bags
lead
to
the
sustainable development of our earth.

entitled Free Admission to Museums. You should

你的看法
Free Admission to Museums
Nowadays, more and more museums open freely to visitors both home and abroad. The purpose of this practice obviously is
to
educate
the
public,
to
provide
more
opportunities
for
citizens
to
get
easy
access
to
the
world
of
history,
culture
and
knowledge.
Although free admission to museums has distinct advantages, there are still arguments that it may also bring harmful effects.
Firstly, those valuable cultural relics
conserved in the museums may be damaged or
destroyed consciously or unconsciously by
the visitors. Secondly, it could do a
great damage to the environment and the facilities
of the museums, as more people visiting
means more litter and more equipment
usage. Thirdly, free of charges result in huge
economic burden on the operation of the
museums.
As far as I'm concerned, free admission to museums is of huge significance. More people get the opportunity to enlarge their
knowledge. However,
measures should be taken to educate the public to
observe the rules and regulations when visiting
the
museums or even strict laws may be
needed to protect the museums.

Creating a Green Campus
Recently a debate about
a profound
impact on both individuals and society, but what
does the real
ourselves to the
construction?
Needless to say, a green campus includes not only the places where the students live, but also the mental environment. The
preservation
and
protection
for
the
environment,
such
as
planting
more
trees
and
flowers
and
using
degradable
plastic
containers, is needed for campus
construction. Meanwhile, we should make efforts to
improve the moral standard of university
students in order to create a civilized
atmosphere for the sake of students' mental
health.
As a college student, I get several practical measures to present. In the first place, it is essential that law and regulations be
worked out by the
authorities. Furthermore, it is high time for us
to increase the awareness of the importance of
creating a green
campus.
At
last,
we
must
take
prompt
actions

regulations.
I
believe

doing
these,
we'll
get
a
more

Due Attention Should Be Given to
Spelling
Nowadays,
students
pay
little
attention
to
the
spelling
of
words
in
English-learning.
Their
writing
abounds
with
lots
of
spelling
mistakes.
There are mainly two reasons accounting for this phenomenon. To begin with, exam-oriented education, in which the focus is
English grammar, makes the teachers
attach little attention to spelling in teaching.
What's more, some students are unaware of
the importance of the spelling. Some of
them hold the view that the content of writing
outweighs the form; others believe it is a
waste of time to remember words, since
there is an E-dictionary.
Spelling
to
a
piece
of
writing
is
what
appearance
to
a
person.
Correct
and
neat
spelling
can
not
only
present
the
writer's
opinion
in
a
more
clear
and
valid
way,
but
also
reflect the
writer's
serious
attitudes
of
writing. Schools
should set
effective
mechanisms
to
help
teachers
as
well
as
the
students
to
realize
the
importance
of
spelling.
For
students,
they
should
try
to
remember words
through many effective ways.

How
Should
Parents
Help
Children
to
Be
Independent
As the prince or princess in their family, some post-80s or post-90s are often spoiled or overprotected by their omnipotent
parents who involuntarily neglect the
importance of training their children to be
independent and sensible.
However, every little bird needs to find food for itself, and thus, how to teach their children to be independent has been put
forward as a hard nut for most parents.
On the one hand, parents are suggested to provide
more practical opportunities for their
children, especially those involved in
cooperation, challenge and problem-solving, such
as a meaningful internship or a military
summer camp. On the other hand, parents
should guide their children to make decisions by
themselves, and in the meantime,
encourage
them
to
take
the
correspondent
responsibility.
Frustration
and
practice
are
the
best
incubators(

for
independence.
There
is
no
denying
that
the
careful
protection
from
parents
can
be
the
safest

for
their
children.
Nevertheless,
independence is the only strong weapon
for children to survive in this competitive
society.

我的建议
Online Shopping
Nowadays, can we find a person who has not experienced online shopping? Definitely not. Online shopping is coming into
fashion in most of cities due to the
rapid development of internet technology.
Online shopping is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumer, it can save some
time for people who don't
have much spare time. Just click the mouse, they
can get whatever they want while staying at home.
For the retailers, it can cut some
costs for those who don't have much circulating
funds. They don't have to rent a house and
spend money on employees compared with
the traditional trade mode. However, there are
still some defects in online shopping.
First, lack of face to face deal makes
online shopping less reliable and trustworthy.
Second, people will lose the fun of bargain.
It is undeniable that shopping on the internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. It's of great urgency that
we need to
regulate the relative laws in accordance with the
rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way
can we enjoy the
pleasure and
convenience of online shopping without the concern
of being cheated.

Nothing

Nothing Succeeds without a Strong
Will
There goes a
humorous saying that
This saying
reflects the fact that people lacking a firm
resolution often pick up what they have given up
over and over. They are
a perfect
example showing that nothing succeeds without a
strong will.
A strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people normally possess. Two reasons attribute to it.
First and
foremost, only by having a strong will
can one have the strength to face the long path to
success, which is sometimes tedious
and
therefore
needs
patience
and
perseverance.
Secondly,
a
strong
will
can
help
one
overcome
frustrations
and
obstacles
encountered on the way to success. With
a weak will, one can hardly achieve anything but
go round in circles.
As for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure. Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up
and never give up. In short, a strong
will plays a crucial role in attaining success,
just as a saying goes that
there is a
way.

Excessive Packaging

我对这一现象的看法和建议
Excessive
Packaging
Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper,
placed in cardboard box and finally
wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported
bottles of grape wine packed in wooden
boxes, fruits put in hand-woven
baskets, to name but a few.
There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can
attract customers’ attention and
stimulate their purchasing desire by
over
-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On
the other hand, quite
a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the
more delicate the package is, the better the
quality will be,
thus encouraging
excessive packaging.
From
my
point
of
view,
excessive
packaging
has
disastrous
consequences,
including
the
loss
of
precious
resources,
excessive consumption of water and
energy, and unnecessary extraction of
scar
ce land for landfill. To solve the problem, it’s
necessary
to
take
the
following
measures.
First,
laws
and
regulations
must
be
made
to
restrict
excessive
packaging
of
companies.
In
addition,
we
need
to
raise
consumer’s
awareness
that
excessive
packaging
doesn’t
equal
to
high
quality
and
advocate packaging
recycling.

Education
Pays
As is shown above, the bar
chart clearly demonstrates the relationship
between the education level and earnings in 2010.
It
7
is obvious
that people with higher education background earn
more money weekly than those with lower one.
In my opinion, there are quite a few reasons that can be identified to be responsible for this phenomenon: for one thing,
with
the
advancement
of
technology
and
the
adjustment
of
industrial
structure,
quite
a
few
high-tech
industries
emerge
overnight, which leads to a soar demand
of workforce with high educational degree, thus,
it is natural that graduates with a
bachelor and higher degree get a high
pay packet and enjoy a stable job. Additionally,
those with educational background under
associate degree are easily dismissed
and paid by low salary. They can be replaced any
time due to the fact that their jobs are
easy and can be finished by average
people.
Definitely,
the
higher
education
degree
you
get,
the
more
likely
you
are
to
enjoy
a
competitive
edge
in
the
employment
market. Thus, the authorities should
enforce some policies to ensure the equity of
education. Only in this way can more people
lead a stable and comfortable life.

views on the importance of doing small things
before undertaking something big. You should

Doing
Small
Things Is Important
From this picture, we can see the boy is worried about disposing of nuclear waste. However, his father thinks he should
empty the dustbin
first. Maybe some people think highly of the boy
because he cares about the environment. But I
agree with
the father. Only if we do
every small thing well can we deal with something
great.
Doing small things is of great
importance. On one hand, by doing so, we are able
to accumulate experience and master
essential skills. We must be fully
prepared before we do something big. No matter
what kind of situation we are facing, we can
handle
it
well. On
the
other
hand,
doing
small
things
also
helps
to
develop
good
habits.
If
so,
we
can
be
calmer
and
know
exactly what to do and how
to do when we meet something difficult or
important.
Those who can do small things perfectly are more likely to make achievements. Doing small things enables us to learn basic
skills to do something big.
Therefore, we should try our best even when we are
doing small things.

The
Importance of Learning Basic Skills
In
the
picture,
the
teacher
becomes
so
surprised
and
disappointed
when
one
of
her
students
questions
whether
the
knowledge of multiplication she is
teaching now will be out-dated in the job market.
Just as the student in the picture, nowadays
most people show their contempt for the
basic skills.
And
many
reasons
contribute
to
this
phenomenon.
For
one
thing,
it
is
the
fact
that
we
are
living
in
a
world
of
fierce
competition that urges us to arm
ourselves with up-to-date professional skills so
as to adjust to the changes of the society and
the increasingly demanding employment
standards. For another, most people hold the view
that basic skills may not be applied
to
the practical use immediately so that they always
ignore the importance of basic skills which are
fundamentally good for
creativity and innovation abilities.
In my opinion, you can do nothing with the greater opportunities if you are not equipped with such basic skills as reading
and
calculating
skills.
So
we
should
enhance
the
learning
of
basic
skills
so
that
we'll
be
better
prepared
for
the
further
innovation.

The Importance of Reading Literature
10
Literature is acknowledged as the most
precious product of human civilization and wisdom,
especially by our
teachers. So they
always ask their students to read as many as
literary works. Just as the drawing shown above,
a teacher gives a literary work to her
student, saying:
It is of great
significance for us to appreciate literature due
to the following reasons. Firstly, a good
literature
can get you to know a life
experience through the eyes of someone other than
yourself. The more experience
you gain,
the more knowledgeable you are. Secondly, a good
literature allows you to learn about history in a
personalized way. The stories
told
in
the works
can act
as
mirrors
and help
you
adjust
your own behaviors.
Lastly,
a
good
literature
is
an
effective
way
for
relaxation.
The
beautiful
and
moving
scenes
shown
in
the
literature are helpful for one's mental
health.
In short, literature is
indispensable in our life. We, students, should
catch our time to read more literature.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your
essay with a brief account of
the increasing use of the mobile phone in people’s life
and then explain the consequences of
overusing it
. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
As the drawing presents,
there is a man walking across the street
absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without
noticing the
surroundings. This sort of
phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some
metropolis, especially among the youngsters.
“People are crossing the street looking
at their cell phones and using walking sticks in
order to see.”
The
Overusing of Cell Phones
This picture portrays such an ironic situation: people who are crossing the street are completely concentrating on their cell
phones
whereas
using
sticks
for
direction,
which
implies
the
unprecedented
popularity
or
even
overusing
of
cell
phones
nowadays.
Exaggerated as the picture is, the phenomenon behind it is rather
thought- provoking. With the development of high-tech
12
equipment,
especially
smart
phones,
people
in
growing
numbers
tend
to
become
addicted
to
the
excessive
use
of
them.
According to a survey carried out in
China Daily
several days ago, almost 47% of citizens explained that they would experience
certain kind of anxiety
without cell phones at hand. Meanwhile, the
overusing of cell phones, firstly, would exert
detrimental
impact
on
our
health.
What’s
worse,
it
would
play
a
negative role
in
interpersonal
relationship
since
we
had
less
time
to
communicate.
Judging
from
the
evidence
above,
certain
measures
should
be
taken.
Firstly,
certain
institutions
in
China
should
launch
relevant campaigns to limit the
excessive use of cell phones. Moreover, we, as
college students, should put emphasis on it right
from ourselves as a start.

“Once I learn
how to use Google, isn’t that all the education I
really need?”
Explain why
education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain
information
：
The Impact
of the Internet on Learning
In
the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens
a magical
portal
（
大门，入口；
）
for learners to get access to
seemingly incessant information. But is
information equal to knowledge?
education
I
really
need?
This
question
fully
embodies
the
prejudiced
opinion
that
as
long
as
people
acquire
abundant
information, they will get proper
education.
The reason why education
doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information
is that education is not limited to the hard
facts or theories students can learn
from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates
to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment
of practical skills to the development
of characters, which are hard for students to
learn simply by
Googling. Consequently,
comprehensive learning in schools that
includes learning knowledge, conducting
experiments and communicating with peers is
what true education is.
13
In a word, the Internet
does provide valuable information for learners,
but people should be fully conscious of the
essence
of education and learn to tell
the right from the wrong.

Directions: For
this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a
short essay based on the picture below. You should
start your
essay with
a brief account of the impact of the Internet on the way people communicate and then explain whether electronic
communication can replace
face-to-face contact
. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
The
Impact of the
Internet
on the Way People Communicate
The ironic picture is about a father and a mother writing a letter to their son who is upstairs. The father and mother greet the
son, and tell him they are fine and
miss him; they look forward to seeing him again
when his computer crashes and he comes
downstairs to eat. The child is
overusing the Internet. From the ironic picture we
can see the impact of the Internet on the way
people communicate.
Can electronic communication replace face- to-face
contact? The answer is “no”.
For one thing, electronic communication
makes people feel strange although it
does help people communicate, especially for those
who are far away or inconvenient to
talk,
whereas
face-to- face
contact
makes
people
feel
psychologically
intimate
and
affectionate.
For
another,
people
cannot
express themselves fully through the
Internet. Thus, misunderstandings may arise.
In my opinion, I do not object to electronic communication, but it cannot replace face-to-face communication.

14
If a
foreign friend is coming to visit our campus, I
would show him or her our school library and the
dinning hall. There
are several reasons
to account for my recommendations.
First of all, our university is famous
for its unique library, which looks like a
beautiful flower (lotus) . It is designed by Bei
Lvming, a famous designer in the world,
as a result of which there are a host of tourists
who would like to take a photo in front
of it almost everyday. In addition, it
also possesses a large number of books, with many
students reading in it everyday, thus in
which I'm convinced that you can find
the book you like too. Secondly, the dining hall
in our school is a wonderful place too.
Many delicious Chinese cuisines can be
found there, such as noodles, dumplings. You can
try cuisines from different places of
China in the same dinning hall!
Based on the reasons above, I am sure
that my foreign friend will enjoy his or her stay
here, with me acting as his or her
guider.

The Most Interesting Place on Campus
If my foreign friend comes to my
campus, the most interesting place I’d like to
take him/her to is the lake.
The
lake is located in the north of the campus and
covers a large area. With lush vegetation, elegant
pavilions and old-style
architecture,
it is the most charming place on campus. In spring
and early summer, the lake is surrounded by
blooming flowers;
in autumn, the
lakeside is full of yellowness.
It is
also a good place for students and staff to relax.
People can hear someone recite Chinese poems or
English essays by
the lake, see young
lovers sit leisurely on the bench talking and
occasionally spot a squirrel quickly disappear
into the woods.
With

Place in My Hometown
If

interesting place I’d like to take him or her to
is Beijing 798 Art
Zone.
The 798 Art Zone used to be a large factory and was renovated into an art zone in the 1990s. The red bricks leave traces of
the past history but now they are more
lively with sculptures in odd shapes, modern
galleries and antique shops along the streets.
The galleries present modern artworks
of artists from China, Japan, US, France,
Switzerland and other countries. The small
shops are filled with interesting
Chinese-featured crafts reminiscent of the 1980s:
comic books, flutes, to name just a few. Also,
when people are tired after a long walk
around the zone, they can have pizza, drink a cup
of coffee in the open air or taste
traditional Chinese food or sushi in
restaurants.
In a word, the 798 Art Zone serves as a window of the creative, cultural and recreational life of modern Chinese. I believe
my foreign friend will find
it interesting and enjoyable.

about
a classmate of yours who has influenced
you most in college.
You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more. than 180 words.
The Classmate Who Has
Influenced
Me Most in College
Classmates play an essential role in our life. When it comes to the classmate who has influenced me most in college, Zhao
Lei, my roommate and my best friend, is
undoubtedly the one who comes to my mind first.
The reasons why I deem that Zhao Lei has influenced me most are as follows: Firstly, one can always find a smile on his
face which not only reflects his
pleasant and optimistic character but also gives
others a good impression. This is what I need to
learn from Zhao Lei. Secondly, Zhao Lei
is diligent. He does well in all his subjects.
However, he is not a bookworm. He joins
clubs such as the basketball club and
the poetry club. He never plays computer games,
and only spends time and energy on
things that are conducive to personal
development. Thirdly, Zhao Lei is always ready to
help others. I have never seen him turn
a deaf ear to others
’
request for help.
Thanks to Zhao Lei, I have learned the importance of optimism, diligence and kindness which are the indispensable virtues
in life.
卷三：
使你受益最深的一项校园活动
Directions: For this part, you are
allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about
a campus activity that has benefited you
most in college
. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but no more. than 180 words.
The Most
Beneficial Activity in My Campus
It is
well known that university is greatly different
from high school mainly due to the fact that
university will hold a large
number
of
activities,
which
benefits
college
students
a
lot.
From
my
perspective,
the
most
beneficial
one
is
“Long
-distance
16
Running for Love” organized
by the Students Union when I am a freshman. The
money coll
ected by this activity is contributed
to Project Hope.
It is really my honor to participate
the long running, because it benefits me greatly
not only in body but also in mind. To
begin with, the activity reminds me of
the great importance of physical health. Before I
go to college, I only focus on academic
achievements while paying little
attention to my physical health. But, the long-
running tells me in time that a sound mind lies in
a sound body. Additionally, during my
participation in this activity, I am well-informed
that there are still many children in
rural
areas
who
have
to
drop
out
of
school
because
of impoverished
families.
Thus,
for
one
thing
,
I
fully
realize
the
great
importance of helping them
fulfill their dreams.
For another
, I cherish the opportunity to study in university more, for when
compared with those
children in poverty-stricken areas, we should
harbor a grateful heart.
By and large,
although I have taken part in many campus
activities, I deem the long running for love most
beneficial to me.
And I am looking
forward to that more wonderful and meaningful
activities will be held in our campus.

卷一：网络生活
Directions:
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write
an essay based on the picture below. You should
start you essay
with a brief
description of the picture and then comment on
this kind of modern life. You should write at
least 120 words but no
more than 180
words.
The
Impact of Computer Overuse on Modern Life
As is depicted in the
picture above,
computers have become an integral part of modern life. Whether in the office, at home or
during leisure time,
the man is always hunching over a computer, which
in turn haunts him in his dreams.
Apparently, the
cartoonist
intends to draw our attention to
the negative impact of overusing computers on our everyday life.
There is no
doubt that computers have changed our life
enormously and people nowadays depend on them for
various purposes.
However, the overuse
of computers may adversely affect our social
interaction and health.
For one thing,
the excessive use of
computers
can
distract
people
so
much
that
they
lose
contact
with
the
reality
and
spend
much
less
time
on
face-to-face
interaction with
people around them.
For another,
sitting in front of a computer for too long can cause back, neck and shoulder
pains,
eyestrain, and overuse injuries of wrists, among
other health problems.
In
conclusion, we should be alert to the dangers of
using computers excessively while celebrating them
as a kind of great tool.
