The college entrance examination is approaching day by day. Quite a few students have moved out from their dormitories to live in a rented room near the school.
It cannot be denied that they have their own time schedule after classes and easily concentrate on lessons alone in their small room. Also, they can spare more time for studies. However, there exist some disadvantages. For example,

sometimes their minds go wandering easily without competitors around.
In spite of the fact that the school life is full of fun and friendship, I prefer to live in the rented room. I want to make full use of the time after evening classes, and I can concentrate my mind on studies easily. 2.【参考范文】 Dear Tom,
Most people in my hometown ride bikes: workers ride to work, farmers ride to their fields and students ride to schools. During the rush hour you can see a river of bicycles flowing in the street. Our school has a large parking lot for bicycles. I’m a biker myself, so are my parents who work in government offices. I think bike riding is wonderful. It’s
environment-friendly and healthy. What’s more, it’s great fun! However, with cars coming into family use, more people here are changing from riding to driving. I can’t tell whether it’s a step forward or backward! Yours, Yang Hua
3.【参考范文】 Dear Tom,
Your grandpa sounds like a very wise man.
He is right when he says that people should seek a path in life that suits them best. Too many people worry about what others think, and try to achieve goals based on what others want, rather than their own desires. My advice is as follows. First, your studies are important. Even if you want to be a professional basketball player in the future, your school work must come first. Whatever job you choose to do after you leave school, you must be able to read, write and count.
Second, as you grow older, your goal may change. Although you want to be a basketball player now, you may change your mind in the future. What will not change, however, is the fact that you must have a good education to succeed in this world. So, by all means play basketball, but do not neglect your studies. I hope my advice helps. Yours, Wang Bo 4.【参考范文】
China is a country with a long history. Customs in China are different from those in western countries. For example, when you meet a person for the first time, you shake hands with each other. People don’t hug or kiss each other when they meet in China. Besides, you can’t call anyone who is older than you by their given name. In the family, there is something interesting to pay attention to. If you are invited to have dinner in a Chinese family, try to finish all your food and remember not to make any noise especially when you are drinking the soup. There are many more interesting customs in China. If you come to China, you’ll learn more about the customs. 5.【参考范文】 Dear Jane,
Thank you for your e-mail. I’m so glad to hear from you. I’m sure we will become good friends.
I’m excited to hear that you have a plan to visit China. You asked me to tell you more about China. Well, China is such a great country that it’s difficult for me to explain everything to you, but I’ll try my best. China is a country with a long
history. The Chinese people think highly of family, so family members usually get together during important holidays, such as Spring Festival and Mid-autumn Festival. There are 3 people in my family and now we are living in Beijing. I hope you’ll come to China soon. Best wishes! Yours, Wu Jun

Every day my mum always says I have to come home after school. When I want to see my friends, I will be refused quickly. She always wants me to stay at home with her and my dad or to go with her to visit my grandparents. But the village where they live is very boring and there is nothing for me to do. When I want to watch TV, they advise me to do my homework first. Sometimes I rush to be signed up by a certain star, they think it is a waste of time. We should bridge the gap between us. I believe it is necessary for them to understand what a teenager is thinking. After all, they have ever experienced the stage of my age.

7.【参考范文】 Should we forbid children to get online?
With the Internet available to common people, more and more children find pleasure in getting online.
Many problems have appeared while children are surfing the Internet or chatting online. Firstly, some websites include unhealthy and violent contents because they are set up for the purpose of making money. As a result, some children become victims. It is said that in the US, the Internet crime is the fastest growing crime. Secondly, some children have got addicted to chatting online and playing computer games, which in return leads to their poor performance in their studies. In conclusion, although it is not a good idea to forbid them to get online, we must take action to protect the children. For example, parents should educate children not to talk to strangers in the chatting room, nor to meet strangers. Set limits to the time children spend online. I think if we work together, we can definitely solve the problem. 8.【参考范文】 Yesterday, Li Yang, the founder of Crazy English, was invited to our school to give us a wonderful speech. In his speech, Mr. Li gave an account of his own experience of learning English. It is said that he was not good at English in middle school, but he improved his English study greatly by reading English every day.
It was his great devotion and perseverance that led him to success. He has made great achievement and contributed a lot to promoting English study. Meanwhile, he keeps on lecturing in different schools.
We are all touched and inspired by his speech, which is full of motivation and passion. Therefore, I make up my mind to learn English well from now on, and I believe I can make it. 9.【参考范文】 Dear Editor,
I am a foreign student from Australia and I am studying in Wuhan. I find people break traffic rules here. For example, some pedestrians cross the streets slowly and some jump over the guardrails in the streets. Some cyclists don’t stop when the traffic lights turn red. What’s worse, many drivers don’t fasten their seat belts while driving. Smoking, speaking on mobile phones and exceeding the speed limit while driving can be seen everywhere. In my opinion, these actions are very irresponsible and dangerous. It is our duty to obey the traffic rules. We must treasure our lives and protect the lives of others. So I suggest that those who break the traffic rules should be fined or punished. Only in this way will they think twice about breaking the traffic rules again. Best wishes! Yours, Anderson 10.【参考范文】 Dear Editor,
I write to tell you some problems existing in some only-one students. Because the only-one child families usually try every effort to give their children what they want and satisfy all their desires, these only-one students then become a little selfish, making them difficult to get along well with their classmates. What’s more, there exists the generation gap between students and parents. Some students are self-centered and can’t understand their parents.
In addition, some parents spoil their children by doing everything for them. Therefore, they depend on their parents too
much and can’t deal with difficult situation. Owing to these, some students become lazier and are unwilling to study hard. I’m concerned about the situation. Could you please give some advice to help them get rid of these habits? Yours sincerely, Li Hua 11.【参考范文】
As is reported, some college students who receive financial support from some helpers were denied support because they didn’t express thanks. There is a heated discussion about it.
Some think they should express thanks because they believe it is good manners to write a thank-you letter. What’s more, it is a necessary social skill for everyone to learn in modern society.
However, there is an opposite opinion. Some others think it is unnecessary to do so. After all, the helpers want no reward in return. They say the college students mentioned above are probably afraid of being looked down upon, so they have never expressed thanks.

In my opinion, the helpers really helped them to get through difficult time. It is not a difficult thing to write a letter. And it is important to say“thank you”when you receive help. 12.

Nowadays, most of my classmates aren’t willing to share their own thoughts with our teachers and always find it hard to seek support and advice from teachers, because they feel they are not equal in position and teachers may look down upon them.
In my opinion, the relationship between teachers and students should be filled with love, care and understanding, in which teachers and students show respect for each other and exchange ideas freely. To build such a relationship, teachers
should become friends of students while students ought to place more trust in their teachers and give voice to their feelings frankly. Only in this way can we enjoy a warm relationship between teachers and students. 13.【参考范文】
What you said sounds reasonable, but I don’t entirely agree with you. Generally speaking, top brand products are no doubt better than nameless ones, but not everyone can afford them. As students, we don’t earn money ourselves. It’s not easy for our parents to support us. So I use whatever they choose for me now. We can’t add to their burdens.
Some students like to show off their top brand products, but they can’t gain real respect and admiration from that. However, real respect and admiration belong to those who study hard and have good virtues.
Many top brands have something to do with sports, but it is not because you wear top brand products that you can win the match. So in my opinion, there is no need to care so much about the brands of what you wear. 14.【参考范文】 The Advantages of Traveling by Bicycle Traveling by bicycle has many advantages. First, it is the least expensive way of traveling apart from walking. If you travel by bicycle, you don’t have to buy tickets as you have to when traveling by bus or train. And you don’t have to buy gas. All you have to do is to buy a bicycle.
Second, traveling by bicycle is good for health. If you go to work by riding a bicycle instead of driving a car or taking a bus, you can have a better chance of exercising your muscles and that will keep you fit.
Last but not least, bicycling is good for our environment. It is less noisy than any other means of transportation and it does not pollute the air. Perhaps everyone should do a bit of bicycling to help make our cities clean. 15.【参考范文】 Chinese Crosstalk
Crosstalk is an art form, which is a kind of Chinese humor. It is said that it came into being first in Beijing during the Qing Dynasty and spread across China quickly.
Crosstalk is usually performed by two people, but it can also be performed by one person or even a group of people. The performers will try their best to make fun of the funny people or things by playing with words skillfully. With the development of modern culture, crosstalk has come back to life again. Although there are hundreds of traditional crosstalk pieces,
modern crosstalk artists create many new wonderful pieces to suit the audience’s tastes, so more and more people begin to enjoy the art form. 16.【参考范文】 Dear Brian, I’m glad you are interested in my hometown, New City, and I’m now giving you a brief introduction of it.
New City lies in West China, which is a newly built city. First, the city has been well planned. There are broad streets and roads. You will find yourself in the sea of green grass, beautiful flowers and trees alongside modern high buildings. Therefore people can enjoy a wonderful environment. Second, public facilities such as transportation, and medical treatment are advanced, which makes the life of the citizens more convenient. Large shopping centers attract a lot of
people every day but the streets are not crowded. Of course the city is just going on its way and things will go on smoothly. I hope that someday you can come to visit this city. Yours, Wang Yan

17.【参考范文】 Dear John,
Thanks for telling me about Thanksgiving Day. Now I’d like to tell you something about Double Ninth Festival in China. Double Ninth Festival lies on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in China. Traditionally, people celebrate the festival by climbing mountains, which represents a long life. Since 1989, the day has also been Old People’s Festival, when old people go on organized tours to enjoy beautiful nature and move their muscles. On the other hand, younger people use the occasion to show their respect for the old by doing everything possible to help them.
I think we should do more to help old people, not only on that day, but also at other times as well. Of course, we can offer seats to them or help them cross the street. I am looking forward to your reply. Yours, Zhao Jing

An Low-carbon Autumn Outing Next week we will go to West Hill for an autumn outing as usual, including more than 1, 000 students. However, the outing of this year will be different from the ones in the past. We are expected to have a “low-carbon”theme outing, which is needed nowadays. We had better follow some necessary instructions.
First of all, try to protect ourselves from getting close to every dangerous situation. In addition, I hope everyone goes there with things such as your towels, enough boiled water and used newspapers instead of napkins, juice and only-once table cloth. As we all know, the latter ones will cause rubbish to the environment. Also, each site where we will stay is to be cleaned after having picnics.
I hope our outing will be successful this time. 19.【参考范文】 Dear Sir or Madam,
I’d like to study in Britain, but I know very little about the opportunity and conditions there. I would be very grateful if you would be so kind as to give me some advice about that. In particular, what are the chances of my being admitted to a school there at the age of 18? What sorts of schools are available? And would I be able to go on to study in a university there after finishing middle school? Thank you very much for your kind consideration. Yours sincerely, Yang Ming
20.【参考范文】 Dear Jack,
Mr. Smith, an English professor, will visit our school the day after tomorrow. He was invited to give us a lecture about education in England. It will be held in the school auditorium at 1: 30 p. m. on Tuesday afternoon. Please bring your notebook with you and take notes while listening, so that we can have a discussion about it after it is over.
The English speech contest, which was planned to be held on Tuesday afternoon, has to be put off till Friday afternoon. Please be there on time! Yours, Zhang Hui
21.【参考范文】 Dear Manager,
I am writing to you complaining about the party we held at your hotel on Friday, December 18th.
First of all, although we booked dinner for 7: 00 p. m. , our table was not ready until 8: 00 p. m. Then, when we did sit down for the meal, we discovered that there was only one vegetarian dish. To make matters worse, the room was hot and stuffy.
As for the disco, we had to wait until 10: 00 p. m. for it to start, so we had hardly any time for dancing.
I hope you will agree that it was a very disappointing evening. I would be grateful if you could refund at least part of the cost of the party.
I look forward to hearing from you.
