the protection of consumers should be enforced to severely punish those who produce or sell fake commodities. Second, consumers should be taught how to tell good commodities from fake ones. Third, they should be advised to protect their own interests and not to be led astray by false advertisements. In a word, the whole society should pay close attention to the problem of fake commodities and launch a campaign against them. Only in this way will fake commodities be possibly eliminated from the market in the future. (272 words)

Sample writing:
The Way to Success
Abraham Lincoln once observed, ―Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.‖ As far as I‘m concerned, this remark can be interpreted as follows: If you want to successfully achieve a certain goal, you must be well prepared for it at first. A good preparation involves sufficient learning, good strategies and a healthy mentality.
To be well prepared, you must first equip yourself with the required knowledge and skills. Only in this way can you move smoothly in all kinds of tough and complex situations. In the process of preparation, you will formulate good strategies which can contribute to reducing the potential mistakes, thus leading to higher efficiency. Finally, you must learn to cultivate a healthy mentality. You must be fully prepared for the possible setbacks you may encounter and devote yourself wholeheartedly to whatever goal you pursue.
In a word, success comes to those who are well prepared for it. The way to get prepared is also a way to improve yourself. By sparing no effort to ―sharpen your axe‖, you will successfully arrive at your destination. (189 words)

假如你是Jim Lee,你最近对你所在班的60名同学(男女各半)进行了上网目的的调查。现在调查结果(如下表所示)用英语给某报社的编辑写一封信报告此事,以引起舆论的关注。
注意: 1.报告应包括图表所示的内容; 2.叙述调查结果时要避免重复使用百分比; 3.叙述过程中要适当添加评语; 4.词数:150左右。 Sample writing: Dear Editor,
I‘m very honored to write this letter to you about a survey I have recently made among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purposes of getting on the Internet. The girl‘s favorite is chatting, and the portion of those fond of chatting is 35%. On the contrary, very few boys like chatting on the internet, accounting for less than 5%. What the boys like doing most is playing games and reading news is just next to that. Both boys and girls like reading news and sending e-mails on the Internet. Maybe they think it‘s the most convenient way to get the latest information. In order to keep themselves well informed about the development of the world affairs, they have taken advantage of the internet. What we should pay attention to is that only a very small part of the boy and girl students, use Internet as a tool to study despite its great convenience and promptness. As far as I am concerned, students should make good use of the internet to serve them both in their life and study, especially in the latter perspective. What do you think about it?
I‘m really looking forward to getting your reply. Best regards for you.
Yours sincerely,
Jim Lee (215 words)
