参考范文：
Today I read a story about a religious master and a painter who change themselves when they face something unchangeable and then achieve an eventual change of the world around them.
The stories remind me of my cousin who used to complain about English learning. He though it unnecessary to learn a foreign language and ignored it at all. As a result, he fell behind the others in his class and even failed in the exam. After realizing that it was not only a main subject but also the most widely spoken language in the world, he developed a good attitude. Thanks to his English teacher, he was well involved in English classes. He practiced listening and speaking English after class. What’s more, he kept an English diary, which helped him think in English. A year later, he became one of the ten top students in his class. Believe it or not, he was even rewarded in an English contest in his school.
As far as I’m concerned, change your attitude when you find the environment
unchangeable. Only in this way can you achieve an eventual change of the world around you.

One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside a huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “ There is a goose out there!”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very still, its wings folded tight to its sides and its feet frozen to the ice.
Then in the sky, she saw a line of swans. They flew from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared that the poor goose might be pecked out by those great swan bills.
Unexpectedly, those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down (弯下) again and again. They went on for a long time. At last, the goose

was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood nearby watching. Then, as if the goose was crying, “I cannot fly”, four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful bills chipped off the ice stuck in its feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they would go. Seeing the goose could freely move its wings, the swans flew slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. Every time I think of it, I can’t help asking, “If so for birds, why not for man?”

The passage reminds us to help those who are in trouble and shows us helping others is a good virtue, which one should treasure.
Life is not all roses. No one knows when he or she will be in trouble. The story above reminds me of my personal experience.
There was a time when I performed badly in my maths. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried, I still failed. Upset and disappointed, I fell ill and had to be in hospital for a couple of days. Hearing what had happened to me, Lily, my monitor, came to hospital , helping me with my schoolwork. It was with her aid that I recovered soon and improved myself in maths rapidly. I felt really grateful for what she had done. From my experience above, I’ve learned that the sincere help between people is of great significance. Only with the care and help of others, can we get out of the difficulties in life and fly again like the goose in the story . .

“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle(婴儿包)was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped-the baby has been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.

Help is Always Unselfish
An selfish mother donated her ears to her imperfect son without telling him about it. At last, the son got the secret from his father after his mother died.
Help is always unselfish. The mother donated her ears to her son, showing her greatest love to her child. From these, we can know how difficult it is for parents to raise their children.
In the daily life, we always get kind help from our teachers, classmates and friends. And their kind help is always unselfish. When I was in Senior Middle School, I lived in the school. Every time I was ill, my teachers and classmates gave me kind help,

taking good care of me all the time. In today’s society, I was affected by some bad things, which made me think that there was no kindness in the world. It was my friends who did everything to help me out.
From these experiences, I have realized that helping others is necessary, and true love does exist in our daily life. Since then, I have changed myself a lot, and I also give hands to others when they are in need of help. 读写任务26（饮食）

Safety Ought to Be Paid More Attention to Today, I received a reader’s letter about a food poisoning incident, and with others’ help, the victims were safe. The responsible reader also referred to the importance of food safety and the necessity of actions to protect people’s life.
I was shocked at the food poisoning incident. Personally speaking, the government should pay more attention to the food safety and making some necessary laws. As some illegal businessmen are only interested in making profits in the race to become rich quickly, they seldom care about the necessary safety measures and hygiene or care what happens to consumers. They must be charged by law. Only in this way will the whole society have a better and harmonious life.
Here, I also wish all the victims recover soon.

读写任务27 阅读下列短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 In order to learn English well, it is necessary for us to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually when we increasingly realize those mistakes. As language learners, we may observe how native speakers express themselves and how native expressions differ from the way we might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it “ to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it”. But if we are not willing to interact in the first place, we will lose this opportunity of learning by trial and error. 写作内容 1、 以约30个词概括短文的内容 2、 以约120个词表达如何面对英语学习中所出的错误，并包括如下要点： 1） 你在英语学习中是否担心出错误 2） 你常在哪些方面出错误 3） 以你自己的经历说明你是如何面对你英语学习中的错误的 写作要求 1、 作文中可使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子 2、 信中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称 Possible version
The first goal of learning a language is to communicate in it, so we needn’t be afraid of making mistakes. When we realize that we are making mistakes, we can’t ignore them. I started to learn English six years ago. In the beginning I didn’t dare to speak it because I was worried that others would laugh at me if I made mistakes. Luckily for me, my English teacher was an American. She always encouraged me to be brave enough, and he asked me not to care about what others would say about my mistakes. Slowly I tried to speak a little, most of the time broken English. Whenever I had chance to be with my English teacher, I kept talking in English. Sometimes, I found my English was different from my English teacher’s. I carefully observed the language my teacher spoke. Gradually, I made good progress in English speaking. It is natural that everybody may have fear when they begin to learn a new language. But the most important is to overcome it. Without fear, we can do everything well.
