Away flows time. There are so many unforgettable things in my school life which are worth mentioning. The most wonderful one, which I’ll remember for good is taking part in the English speech contest.
I used to be a shy boy who lacked confidence. At the beginning of the senior three year my best friend encouraged me to participate in the speech contest. Afraid of delivering an address on the stage, I declined. I, in the end, agreed as he insisted. He helped me practice my speech skills as well as gestures and standing position. My skills were improved, modestly but steadily.
Then came the day of the contest. Nervous as I was, I walked onto the stage, smile on face.

With so many people seated in the hall, I felt anxious and my speech was not fluent at first. When I saw my friend listening attentively, I remembered the nights we spent together practicing speech. I was inspired and the speech flowed on successfully. The audience applauded with appreciation at the end of the speech while I happily found I was no longer the shy boy. It was the support from my friend that enabled me to gain confidence.
While life in senior three is occupied, wonderful things take place every day, the precious friendliness has left such a deep impression on my mind that I will never forget it. (231 words) (9+9+4=23)
Sample 2
The thing that impressed most in grade 12 took place on a Sunday morning. That was when I took part in an English contest, in the final stage.
The contest was so difficult that I thought the only thing I could do was to wish myself good luck. The listening comprehension was unlike what I’d prepared for, so I just tried my best. But when I moved to the reading part, the situation got better. What I’d thought to be greek turned out to be just the combination of words I knew the meaning of. I felt a little bit happier. As to the writing, I had wanted to give it up and let my creation fly, but I surprisingly found that I had a lot to say about the topics. I even used the stories of a scientist I’d read about to support my idea! Then it was an oral exam. Although it was a contest, I still told the teachers exact what I had in mind. I didn’t have anything fancy to say, but the thoughts were genuine.
The result came and I won the third prize! At first I thought it was sheer luck, but then I realized that what I had learned helped a lot. I didn’t mean to prepare for it, but what I had done brought me what I deserved. Even though I’m no faced with the college entrance exam, I still know that what really matters is the process of learning. Do your job and the result won’t fail you! (257 words)

Do you have the fear of acting on the stage? Well, I do, at least before I was asked to perform at the school’s Arts Festival.
As the Arts Festival drew near, the teachers asked me to read an English poem, which made my heart jump. This would be a perfect chance to show my English talents, but not in front of the whole school! I was a shy boy that even freaked out when speaking in front of my class. As I strongly opposed to this kind offer, the teacher told me, “You’ll never know how things go unless you give it a try.”
Encouraged as I was, I repeated the poem in front of the mirror for countless times, being more confident every time. The day finally came and I was on the stage, sharing the beauty of English with the whole school. I managed to read the poem in an idiomatic accent without a single mistake and I wasn’t really that nervous as I thought I would be. I was filled with pride as the sound of applause rose in every corner of the auditorium.
Just as my teacher said, taking the first step toward the unknown is the greatest achievement, I will pump myself up for all the coming challenges in life and I will never forget my first step on the stage. (227 words)

Sample 4
The life of Senior 3 is like a chocolate having lots of tastes. My most impressive taste is the experiences of participating in the Physics Olympics.
The days that I spent preparing for the contest are full of depression and happiness. I enjoyed the moment when I worked out a difficult problem. My pals and I often argued about a ambiguous problem for a long time. However, the taste was terrible sometimes. I read the reference books till midnight and did a lot of exercises. I believed that my dream would come true if I worked hard enough.
To my disappointment, I failed to get the award. But I think the tears and experiences will become my most valuable wealth in the future. (123 words) （7+7+2=16）

请认真观察下面的漫画，然后简要描述漫画内容，并根据你对该漫画的理解，谈谈自己的思考和看法。
参考词汇：缸：vat； 漏出来：leak out； 漏洞：loophole
In the picture, four people are trying to fill a vat with water. Two men are carrying water while two others are pouring water into the vat. However, with so many loopholes at the bottom of the vat, they’ll never store any water, because no one tries to mend the holes.
It reminds me of the problems in our study. While studying, we always try to read more books and do more exercises. However, we seldom pay attention to the mistakes we’ve made, nor do we try to correct them. Therefore, “holes” are left. Day by day, the “holes”, or rather the shortages, become more and more. No matter how many books we’ve read, we have never mastered any knowledge. They have leaked out because of the hole.
So we should pay attention to the mistakes we’ve made and the holes we have in our study. Only in this way can we learn much knowledge and fill up our mind with it.
