‎  第一篇:‎ ‎  金钱是一切吗?In Money Everything?‎ ‎  I don‘t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can‘t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What‘s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.‎ ‎  第二篇:‎ ‎  1.一些人喜欢住在城市,因为城市生活有许多便利。‎ ‎  2.但有些人喜欢住在农村。‎ ‎  3.我认为,……‎ ‎  Where to live —in the City or in the Country ‎  Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages. They think there are more job opportunities in cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.‎ ‎  But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.‎ ‎  I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.‎ ‎  第三篇:‎ ‎  你叫李平,是英语系学生会主席。写一封信给王教授,请他做一个有关中国历史的报告。注意信中要包括目的、时间、日期和地点。‎ ‎  Ⅴ。 Writing ‎  May 19,2002‎ ‎  Dear Professor Wang:‎ ‎  On behalf of the Student Union of the English Department, I am writing to invite you to give a lecture on Chinese history.‎ ‎  We have planned to have such a lecture at 2:30 p. m. in Lecture Hall 419, on May 25.‎ ‎  Looking forward to your lecture. Inform us in advance if you can not come.‎ ‎  Sincerely yours,‎ ‎  Li Ping ‎  第四篇:‎ ‎  男女应该平等吗?(Should Men and Women Be Equal?)‎ ‎  Should Men and Women Be Equal?‎ ‎  People have different ideas about this issue, Some people say that men are superior to women in ability because men are physically stronger, do most of the hard labor in the world and hold most important positions. Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.‎ ‎  第五篇:‎ ‎  1.在中国,自行车是最为流行的交通工具。‎ ‎  2.骑自行车有许多好处。‎ ‎  3.自行车的未来……‎ ‎  The Bicycle in China ‎  The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”。 People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China.‎ ‎  There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First, using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second, people can improve their health by riding a bicycle.‎ ‎  The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries, city governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge.‎ ‎  第六篇:‎ ‎  你是Helen,要写一封信给Julie,对她和她的丈夫昨日请你和你丈夫吃饭表示感谢,表示要回请他们,以答谢他们的盛情款待。‎ ‎  Dear Julie:‎ ‎  Thank you very much for the dinner that you invited my husband and I to yesterday.

Many things can be faked such as soybean sauce, vinegar, bicycles, and many other things. The interests of consumers are affected, and many enterprises keep losing money because of cheap fake commodities.‎ ‎  There are some reasons for such a phenomenon. The major one is the desire of some people to “make easy money”。 These people think nothing of the law of the protection of intellectual property rights.‎ ‎  To get rid of fake and poor quality commodities, the government should educate people to obey the law of the protection of individual intellectual ‎ property rights and not to sell any fake goods. The government should punish severely and close down all the factories producing fake goods.‎ ‎  第八篇:‎ ‎  你是Alice.你的朋友Bonnie很快就要到你的乡间小屋拜访,但你却要出去一会儿。留一张便条给她,告诉她食品在哪儿,告诉她一个人在屋里时应注意些什么。‎ ‎  May 18, 2002‎ ‎  Dear Bonnie:‎ ‎  I will be away for a while. The key to the cottage is under the doormat, and the food is in the refrigerator. After entering the house, lock the door from inside at once.

Let me give you a hand with that chair." 一个老人步履缓慢地走进一家餐馆。他弓着背,手里拄着牢靠的拐杖,每一步都不慌不忙。一个名叫玛丽的年轻女服务员向他跑去,说道:“这边请,先生!让我帮您把椅子拿出来吧。” She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she moved the table close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it. ‎ ‎ 她从桌子旁边拉过一把椅子,用一只手搀扶着老人来到椅子前,并让他舒舒服服地就座。然后,她把桌子拉近他,并把他的拐杖靠在桌旁一个他能够到的地方。 In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss." "You're welcome, sir!" she replied. "And my name is Mary. I'll be back in a moment, and if you need anything anytime, just wave at me!" 老人用轻柔而又清晰的声音说道:“女士,真是太感谢你了!”“不用客气,先生!”她回答说。“我叫玛丽。我一会儿就回来,如果您有什么需要的话,随时向我招招手!” After the old man finished his breakfast, Mary handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us, sir!" He turned with his whole body, winked a smile, and nodded a thank you. 老人吃完早餐后,玛丽把拐杖递给他,并与他一同走到大门口。她一边为他开门,一边说道:“欢迎您再来,先生!”他转过身来,微笑着眨眨眼,向她点点头表示谢意。 When Mary went to clean his table, she found a business card under his plate, and a note scribbled on a napkin. 当玛丽回来收拾老人的餐桌时,她在他用过的碟子底下发现了一张名片和写在餐巾纸上的潦草字迹。 The note on the napkin read: "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you." 餐巾纸上写道:“亲爱的玛丽,我非常敬重你,而且你也尊重你自己,你的待人方式展现了这一切。你已经找到了快乐的秘密。你善良的举动将会给所有遇到你的人带来光明。” The old man Mary had waited on was the owner of the restaurant where she worked. This was the first time that Mary and any of his employees had ever seen him in person. 玛丽接待的这个人正是她所工作的餐馆的主人。这是玛丽和其他雇员第一次见到他们的雇主本人。 ‎
