got warm congratulations from my classmates. However, I felt pain in both my feet. My old sports shoes were worn out.
I am now in need of a new pair of sports shoes. I have forgotten how many times I have stopped to admire the expensive Nike shoes on the window in Beijing Road.
Two days later, I brought my parents before the window. Mother noticed my eyes fixed on the brand-new Nike and slowly reached into her pocket. Clearly the price was higher than she could offer. She moved her eyes towards my father, who is newly out of job, for his advice. Father dug his fingers into his pockets. “Just enough for a Nike, but we need to save some money for future better use?”
In fact, my classmates will surely see what kind of shoes I wear. They are just what I love, fashionable and comfortable for a good player like me? Now my parents read the great disappointment in my face? [写作内容]

Admiration Comes from Ability Instead of New Shoes
This text is about a student who wants to buy a pair of new shoes. His shoes were worn out and he took his parents to buy a new pair. But hey found the shoes too expensive for them.
Words could not express my painful feelings at the moment. I turned my eyes to my mother for help, who pretended not to see me. I wanted to insist on my request when I suddenly glanced at another pair of home-made shoes. It was not as fashionable as Nike, but much cheaper. Now I had a decision.
“Well, I would like to take this home-made pair. It is much cheaper.” “Why? Didn’t you want a new Nike just now?”
“They will be as good as a new Nike on my feet. I used to love Nike because many of my friends are wearing it. In fact I don’t’ have to keep up with the Joneses.” A hidden smile climbed on parents’ faces.
“I should be judged by how well I study instead of what shoes I wear. Beauty is but skin deep, isn’t it?” I had persuaded myself I was right. Now I saw the sweetest smile on their faces.

Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.
Make friendship a priority. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmowed or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.
Open up to close friends. Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help reaffirm friends’ self-esteem when they are shaken by a job loss, or other difficulties.
Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies, singing in a choir, and participating in a bowling league.
Don’t’ wait for a friend to ask a favor. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store or drive the children to their after-school activities. Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs nurturing and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.
You can also start a group, such as a discussion group on gardening or books. Talk to strangers (using discretion and common sense, of course). Conversations started in museums, or bookstores can lead to firm friendships. [写作内容]

True Friends Make My Life Colourful Friends are very important in our life, especially the friends with the same interests. So we must cherish our good friends. If you don’t have such kind of friends, try to make some.

There is no doubt that friends are very important for us. If you don’t have a true friend to share your happiness or sorrow, that means your life is meaningless. Friends can make you happier when you are happy, and feel better when you are sad.
I had two good friends when I was in middle school. Though we are not in the same school now, we are still good friends. We don’t need to see each other too often, but we know what we are thinking. Whenever I am in trouble, I know my friends will be here. This kind of feeling encourages me when I meet difficulties. It is my friends that make my life colourful.

Jacob loves books. His mom knows this because when she sits down to read to him every night, he waves his arms excitedly.
When she is done reading, his mom usually lets him hold the sturdy board book, which he promptly sticks into his mouth.
Jacob is only 6 months old, but he is already well on his way to becoming a reader. Very young babies may not know what the images in a book mean, but they are still able to focus on them, especially on black and white patterns. A newborn looking at a book is taking the first step toward picture recognition, which is an important skill for reading.
You may wonder what the benefits of reading to your baby are. Clearly he or she can’t understand what you are doing or why. But would you wait until your child could understand what you were saying before you started speaking to him or her? No. And you wouldn’t bypass lullabies until your baby could carry a tune or wait until he or she could shake a rattle before you offered any toys.
At birth, a baby’s brain can do a lot, especially stuff to keep the body running properly, but it isn’t fully developed. The more the senses are stimulated, the more quickly the rest of a baby’s brain will develop. So reading aloud to your baby is a wonderful shared activity you can continue for years to come, and it’s an important form of stimulation. [写作内容]

Let’s Start Reading
The article takes a 6-month baby for example to show that reading is good for babies in developing both their brain and their interest although they may not know the real meaning.
My mother used to read to me when I was a baby, and that developed my love for reading. When I could read by myself, my father often took me to bookstores and left me there reading for free! On every birthday, the gifts my parents give me are all books. It is my parents who let me know the benefits of reading. Reading is the first thing I will do when I have spare time. Personally, I think reading can really do us a lot of good. It can enlarge our knowledge and make us more intelligent. Besides, it is helpful for our learning, especially for writing good compositions.
So let’s start reading at once.

\adults,\the normal operation of the university\
However, many pupils and their parents who are attracted to this key university feel frustrated at being refused entry.
In the past, Peking University received millions of visitors every year. However, too many visits have had a negative impact on teaching, research and everyday life and led to heavy traffic.
The statement has generated a heated discussion nationwide.
Some experts applaud the decision to reduce visitor numbers. They say it will improve the annoying status quo (现状) of too many tourists on campus.
But group tour visitors oppose the move, claiming that Peking University is not only a university for its students, but a key university for the whole country. It shouldn’t arbitrarily (任意地)shut its doors to group tours. 写作要点

Possible version: It’s reported that Peking University says NO to group tours of primary school students and adults to protect the normal operation of the university. After the statement was reported, a heated discussion has been made. Some agree to the measure. They say it will improve the present situation ---- too many tourists visit the campus every day. While the tourists oppose it. They think Peking University belongs to the whole country. Tourists should be able to enter the university freely.
I visited some Britain universities, like Oxford and Cambridge University. They are open to the tourists from around the world.
As for the move of Peking University, I don’t support it. For one thing, Peking University is not only for its current students but also for all Chinese people. Also, The university authorities should try to regulate visitors and think of other solutions other than simply shutting the doors to group tours. Top universities should be open to the public. 读写任务23

One of my friends, though with the makings of a merchant, was bent on being a painter. He resigned from office and devoted himself entirely to painting at home. Several years, however, saw no progress in this regard.
A painful retrospection bought him to his senses. He made up his mind to take up business in place of painting. It took him only a few years to become a rich businessman. Meanwhile he spent his spare time exchanging experience and skills in painting and calligraphy. His works finally won acclamation by expert painters and were on sale in art gallery and grand hotels. He had his collections published and his dream of becoming a painter came true at last.
