As is described in the picture, a group of foreign students are raising their hands to give answers to the question in a joyful and active way. The purpose of the picture is to show us how active the class performance is in the foreign country.
Compared with the class performance in local China, the difference is quite obvious. We Chinese students stay quiet in class, keep taking notes and listen to what teacher is talking in a careful way.
I ask myself what causes lead to the phenomenon? Why class performance of Chinese students is quite different from that of foreign students? Possible reasons can be listed as follows. Most important of all, education system in China is the key reason. The first day we become the primary student, our teachers tell us to obey the rules in class. We put our hands back and stay quiet in class. Lecture-model teaching is the traditional way in Chinese class. Teacher is the leading actor or actress and student is always the supporting roles. Gradually we get into the habit of staying quiet in class and lose the ability to raise questions and give the answers.
The second point to be mentioned is that Chinese students hold different attitudes toward study. In our minds, we always think what we should learn instead of how we should learn knowledge in a smart way. We behave us as a passive listener, but foreign student act as a active learner.
As a saying goes, it is better to teach to fish rather than give a fish. Taking what has been discussed above into account, there is no doubt that we need to think it over whether we are supposed to be a learner or a quiet listener.
问题: 题目强调了入学新生，能不能从刚入学时，我们还对上课充满热情，然后和高中时的课堂沉闷情况相比较，从而发现问题？

某海外学校举办英语夏令营，开设了如下课程：园艺（gardening），烹饪（cooking）,防身术（self- defence），护理（nursing）。假如你是王跃华（不可以用自己的真实姓名），写一封申请信，报名参加其中一门课程的学习。信的内容必须包括：

It is said that a summer camp is to be held by your school and a few courses are available to choose from. I am interested in gardening, in that I believe it features my character and personal benefits.
During the learning period, I expect to gain some unexpected knowledge. A radical technique I’d like to obtain is to know how to tell difference species of plants and flowers apart. This helps me to have a clearer outlook of those in my garden. Furthermore, the proper cutting time and frequency to water are some other skills I want to learn. A little knowledge concerning choosing suitable soil or reasonable positions will also be a good choice.
The main reason why I choose gardening is that I want to help my parents with their work in the domestic garden. In addition, I find that we students generally lack the knowledge of gardening, missing a chance to have a word with nature, so that knowing the surroundings is imperative. Last but not least, by attending the courses, I will have a meaningful summer vacation, and drowning myself between plants will by all means add a brilliant touch to my life.

你班将组队参加学校组织的集体舞比赛（group dancing cooipetition)，班长希望大家积极参加。对此谈谈你的看法。 你的文章必须包括以下内容： ·你是否会参加比赛 ·你做出该决定的具体理由
例 1:
A group dancing competition will be held in our school and the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in it. While most of my classmates are still hesitating whether to participate, I have said yes to our monitor with great pleasure.
Generally speaking, there are two reasons for my decision. First, it is a good opportunity for me to relax myself, which will enable me to study more efficiently. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so goes the saying, which clearly shows us the importance of relaxation. Besides, I think I am a good dancer after learning dance for more than five years. Participating in the contest will be a golden chance for me to show my dancing skills and make some contributions to the class.
For the two reasons mentioned above, it is no surprise that I have such a strong enthusiasm on the group dancing competition.
例 2:
Today the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in the group dancing competition which will be held in a couple of days in our school. But after some careful consideration, I have decided not to participate.
There are a number of reasons for my decision. First and foremost, as the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner, study is the top priority for me. Participating in the group dancing competition has to give way because it might take me too much time. What’s more, without any experience of dancing, I don’t think I can be a good dancing partner. I am afraid my poor dancing
skills will probably spoil the performance of the whole class. In this case, it’s better for me to be a spectator cheering for my classmates.
For these reasons, it seems more appropriate for me to watch the competition than to dance myself.

下表提供了你所心仪的南、北两所大学的招生信息。通过比较作出选择，并结合个人情况说明理由。
南方大学 北方大学 学费 招生人数 优惠政策 8000元/年 20人 无 5000元/年 10人 加20分
例 1
Of the two universities listed above, I prefer the one in the north. The main reason is that the tuition is only 5,000 RMB for the university a year, compared with 8,000 RMB for the university in the south. This makes a big difference for a family like a mine, because my father is peasant and the only breadwinner in the family. Studying at the northern university can save my father big money.
Another reason I take into consideration is the preference policy the northern university offers. Any candidate who chooses to study there may gain an extra 20 points, which greatly raises the possibility of my being admitted to this university. Of course, it doesn't mean that it will be quite easy to pass the entrance exam because this university has limited the number of qualified candidates to 10 only. However, I have been doing quite well in school, so I believe I can pass the entrance exam with flying colors.
例 2 Compared with the northern university, the southern one is more to my liking. It is true that in terms of tuition the former is 3,000 RMB cheaper than the latter. However, that's not a problem to me because I can work my way through college once I get admitted. What counts is the reputation it has. Once I enter this school, my future career is guaranteed.
Also, the university in the south recruits 20 new students instead of 10, which means that I will stand a better chance of getting admitted. The competition is very keen, though, as you can see because this university doesn't give candidates any extra points. So all I can do now is study hard, pass the tough entrance exam, and qualify as a student of the university of my choice.

古人云：“天生我材必有用” 请你描述你生活中的一件事，说明人各有所长，无论才能大小都能成为有用的人。
Many people, especially those who think they are not as talented as others, tend to give up in their undertakings and thus complain about life. Such people will certainly end up getting nowhere. Notice that most successful people are not unlike us. What makes them stand out is their devotedness to the job they are doing, which is typical of the story of Li Dahua, a neighbor of mine.
Dahua was brought up in a poor family. Since he didn't do well in school, he joined his father in collecting garbage for a living soon after he graduated from elementary school. His neighbors shook their heads whenever they saw him, thinking that this boy would by no means carve out a bright future. Years passed by, and Dahua kept collecting garbage, but he took one step further. Through books he knew how to sort out the waste he had collected and have it recycled. You know what? He has set up a recycling factory and become the richest man in town! His success proves the ancient Chinese saying: \
