el.
北极兔EG:In my middle school years, I had a best friend. We talked about
everything. And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each
other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship,
but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for
months. Then, one day we were asked to write about friendship. I
wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had parated us. It was given the top mark,
and I was asked to read it in class. When I ended my prentation
with the words from our favourite song, my friend was singing along.
All misunderstanding was cleared and once again we were best friends. To break down the walls between people is easy; all it takes
is a little forgiveness! (150 words)

EG: We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold curity
bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help
them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of
incurity fill the environment we live in. All this greatly harms our
society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated
喜的近义词, and care about ourlves only. If things go on like this, “trust”“teamwork”, and “harmony” will eventually become terms unheard of.
In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human
relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we
can change the way others e us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society. (151 words)

People may have different opinions about the key factors for success.
Write a short essay (of about 150 words) and share your opinions with
your classmates.
EG:In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success: competence, determination and optimism. For a person to succeed, he or she has
to face great competition and excel in his or her chon career. The
person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence, the person can neither
stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of tho who
hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement. Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not
go the way we have planned and failure is unavoidable no matter how
intelligent or capable we may be. In such cas one needs to remain
firm and optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually
pay off. If the person gives up halfway, success will never knock at
the door. (149 words)

Many stories have demonstrated to us that character is something that
gives life meaning and depth, and we can enjoy true happiness only by
making character the guideline of our lives. Have you had any experience or read any story that conveys the message? Write an essay
(of about 150 words) bad on your understanding of the importance
of character.
EG:A widespread belief in modern society is that with talent, personal
effort and luck alone a person can succeed, regardless of character.
However, history has proven over and over again that the morally defective cannot be truly successful, even if they at times enjoy some
temporary glory. A typical example is found in the story of four brilliant Cambridge students. They were all talented and eventually
worked their way up to very important positions in the British government, with one even ending up working in Buckingham Palace.
During and after World War II, however, they betrayed their country
by giving away national crets to the Soviet Union, which damaged
the interests of Britain in many ways. Eventually what they had done
was uncovered. Three of them fled the country and ended up in exile;
and the fourth lost his knighthood in disgrace. “Intelligent” “successful” as they once were, they are now remembered as traitors
to their country. (157 words)

c. What we can do to improve the situation or to enhance mutual trust.
EG:As modern society advances, we are growing more suspicious of
each other. This is clearly reflected in our reaction to advertiments.
Instead of eing advertiments as a source of reliable information,
we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the
producers are trying to trick customers into buying their products.
One of the most rious conquences of such abnce of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we
e everyone el as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new
friends; if we regard all information pasd on to us as lies, how can
we make u of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that
holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster
mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds. If we
are honest to others and foster mutual trust, we shall soon e the
difference. (158 words)

all, my professor has a sincere interest and a strong passion in his
rearch field. No wonder he is highly respected by both his
colleagues and his students. (140 words)

adversity ems the constant companion of many of us. In the face of
adversity there are typically two reactions: one is to feel frightened
and run away; the other, to face it with courage. But what happens
next makes a big difference between the brave and the cowardly.

make things better; while others, though frightened emotionally or
disadvantaged physically, manage to shake off the initial fear and take hold of their bootstraps to pull themlves out of the bad situations they are in. We should choo the attitude of the latter becau running away is not going to solve the problem. In addition,
