My Study at College\1.列举你在学校学习中遇到的困难或问题。 2.分析造成这些问题或困难的原因。 3.提出解决问题的方案。
As a college student, I am confronted with a mountain of problems in my study. For example, I find it very difficult to adjust myself to heavy workload; I find myself slip into the habit of postponing the completion of my assignment till the last minute of the deadline; above all, I find myself lagging far behind others in my English study.
The main reason for these problems is that I’m incapable of managing my time efficiently. Without my parents’ supervision at college, I feel free to do whatever I want to do. Sometimes, I even stay up very late playing computer games, which stops me from finishing my assignment in time and gets in the way of my English study. I feel it urgent to improve my English. The following is my plan to overcome the difficulties. Everyday, I will do half an hour’s morning reading to try to pronounce every word. And I will then spend half an hour listening to English radios like BBC to correct my pronunciation. Because I have trouble in speaking, I plan to find a foreign friend so that I can practice speaking English with him/her. 46
It is reported that serious traffic problems exist in the city. Please illustrate your opinion on the topic “The Traffic Problems in the City”. You should base your essay on the outline below. 1.城市交通中存在的问题。 2.分析问题的原因。 3.提出解决问题的办法。
Nowadays, with the improvement of our living standards, there emerges a more diversity of transportation tools in modern cities, such as private cars, motorcycles and sophisticated mass transit systems. While our life is made easier with these tools, the dramatic increase in vehicles also contributes to severe outcomes.
First of all, pollution is becoming increasingly serious in cities. Vehicles, in particular private cars, emit plenty of waste gas, which makes air dirty. Meanwhile, vehicles also make a lot of noise. Those who live nearby the streets suffer tremendously. Some people even find themselves unable to fall asleep with unbearably loud noise from vehicles. Secondly, traffic jams are also another problem with the increase of vehicles. Many people complain about traffic congestions during rush hours, say, from 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning or from 5:00 to 6:00 in the
afternoon.
Then, how to deal with these problems? I want to propose two solutions. For one thing, people should reduce the use of private cars; instead, they should be encouraged to use public transportation. Thus, air pollution and noise pollution can at least diminish. For another, different
companies may have different work time. To be specific, some companies may ask their employees to work from 7:30 to 4:30 while others may require their employees to work from 9:30 to 6:30. In this way, the problem of traffic jams might be lessened. 47
There are some problems in today's education. With your own experience, illustrate the problems by writing an essay on the topic \of Today's Education\1.你认为现在的教育中存在哪些问题。 2.分析存在这些问题的原因。 总结观点，提出改进的建议。
Currently, many educators and experts cast their doubt over today’s education, claiming that there exist several major problems. One of the main problems with today’s education is that too much emphasis is placed on test scores. It has become the most important criterion for college enrollment. A student, however creative and intelligent, will not be admitted into a college or succeed in employment competitions if his/her test scores are not high enough. Another crucial problem with education is that students’ creativity is killed. Students find themselves
concentrating more on strategies to achieve high scores than on acquiring knowledge. Therefore, their innovation has gradually drained away. The contributing factor for these problems is schools’ orientation and parents’ requirement. On one hand, many high schools want to improve their reputation. If students perform wonderfully in the National College Entrance Examination, they will build up their fame, thus attracting more students to enroll in their school. On the other hand, parents urge schools to focus their attention on improving students’ test scores, asserting that these can be one of the cornerstones of their children’s future success.
In my opinion, it is high time that measures were taken to solve these problems. One of the solutions is to adjust the criteria of enrollment and people’s perspectives. Anyway, test scores are not the determining factor of one’s success. What counts most is ability. If you gain fair mastery of skills, chances are that you can gain huge success.

For example, netsurfers in different countries can share interesting knowledge and the latest information. Besides, Internet has provided a major opportunity to buy and sell merchandises.

Behind all this glowing talk, however, are some problems. The Internet makes people passive by stopping them making their own entertainment.

With the rapid development of market economy, people's living pace is becoming quicker and people are living under increasing pressure. How do you view pressure at work or in life? Write an essay on the topic \View on Pressure.\Your composition should be based on the following outline. 1.人们对待压力的态度 2.压力的利与弊 3.如何应付压力
Pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive society. Like it or not, there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. However, people’s attitudes towards pressure vary widely. Every coin has two sides, so does pressure. Pressure can be something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to the decline of one's physical and mental health. Therefore, some people are constantly complaining about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation,
the opposite of pressure, is what we should desire. On the other hand, pressure can sometimes produce a positive impact on people’s life. In fact a certain amount of pressure is essential to providing motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that propels our progress and contributes to our success.
When stress or pressure does occur, it's important to recognize and deal with it. There are some methods we can try. A large number of physical activities can reduce anxiety. Sharing our stress with others can be enormously helpful. Making time for fun such as listening to music may be good medicine. Sometimes even crying is an efficient way to release pressure. 50

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a
composition on the topic Fast Food. Your composition should be based on the Outline given below: 1.快餐在中国十分流行 2.快餐受欢迎的原因 3.我对快餐的看法
Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food. There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is quick and convenient. Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute. You can satisfy your hunger instantly. Precious time won't be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurant.
However, I think that fast food isn't healthy enough because it does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. Doctors suggest that people should avoid eating too much fast food. Although home cooking is time-consuming and following washing-u p tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs. Fast food I s only a good choice when you are in a hurry and we should turn to it only once in awhile.
