Nowadays there appear several traffic accidents in our city and two of them have caused two injuries and one death. I think it will be getting worse if there is no further action about the traffic problems. In order to relieve the traffic pressure, our city is supposed to take some measures as follows. First, monitoring facilities are fixed at the major crossings in the centre of the city. Second, barriers should be set up along main roads to ban turning left. Third, more rules should be carried out to stop parking casually around supermarkets. Fourth, no illegal taxi vehicles are allowed to take the passengers around. Thank you! Yours, Wang Yan

Recently I learned from the newspaper that normal universities belonging to the Education Department would recruit some students free. As a return, the students must serve as a primary school teacher for at least ten years in his (or her) hometown. I feel that is a good news for me and I will contact the universities to get enrolled.
First of all, as a farmer’s child, my father’s living condition is not so good. I can hardly afford the high tuition of regular universities. I’m so happy to get this chance to become a college student and continue my study.
Secondly, serving as a teacher is my dream since I was a child. I was brought up in a mountain village. Many of my little friends got poor education and they had to get to work as a teenager. If I become a teacher, I’ll devote myself to giving them better education.
Lastly, our country is in great need of teachers, especially in rural areas. After I graduate, I will return to my hometown and serve as a good teacher. [答案] 30.【参考范文】
In the picture, the little bird is talking with her mother. It seems that she has a lot of secrets to share with her mother. When she is talking, the mother listens to her carefully and looks at her with affection.
As we are growing up, we may find that we communicate with our parents less and less. We usually complain that our parents don’t understand what we are thinking about, and that there is a generation gap between us. But we seldom ask the question, “How long has it been since I last had a nice talk with my parents?”
Communication is the most important thing in a family. It may not be easy for our parents to accept new ideas, but if we explain them to our parents with patience, at least they will know what we are thinking about, although they may not agree with us. And we may find a better way to

The boy and the girl in the picture sat on a bench talking merrily while eating a watermelon. When they went away they left the watermelon’s skin on the bench, making it very dirty. They didn’t want to take any trouble throwing it into the dustbin although it was very near where they were sitting. Instead, they said that there would be someone who should clean the rubbish.
However, what they did violates public morality. If everyone behaves in this way, the world will be a big rubbish dump with flies flying round and people will live in a world of diseases. Besides, dustmen will have a very very hard job to clean the environment we live in. [答案] 33.【参考范文】 Where to Go for University?
The author described a conflict between her parents and herself on whether to go to Wuhan University. As an independent girl, she wants to experience more in another city while her parents worry a lot.
As her headteacher, I have the responsibility to help solve the problem even without her begging. Firstly, I should admit I really understand her feelings. Parents always love and care for their children no matter how old they are. It actually is a great challenge for a young girl to study in another city. What’s more, when in the 4th year, she may have to come back to Guangzhou several times to seek a good job here.
As an old saying goes, “Every coin has two sides. ”If you see it in a more optimistic way, you’ll find more benefits. In my memory, she’s always independent and strong. No matter what happens, she remains calm and intelligent. As a consequence, I believe she could handle everything. Additionally, Wuhan University is a most famous university in China, so, if she spares no efforts to study, she’ll certainly get a dreaming job. Most importantly, it’s a good opportunity to broaden her horizons and make more friends.
All in all, I’m fully convinced that to study in another city is really a good way to enrich one’s life

I am glad to know that you are going to study in Canada, so I am writing to tell you something about this country.
Canada is the second largest country with the largest number of lakes in the world. The majority of people live in the central part of the country, while fishing and forestry are of great importance in the eastern part. I suggest that you should choose to study in the east, where not many international students study and tuition is lower. Most people will go to a clinic instead of a hospital, because it is very expensive to see a doctor there. So I advise you to buy health insurance, which costs 54 Canadian dollars a month. Yours, Zhang Kun

[答案] 38.【参考范文】 Anger
Doctors say anger can lead to serious diseases like heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and even cancer. Both controlling anger and expressing anger strongly can be harmful to your health.
As we know, getting angry not only does harm to one’s health but also has a bad effect on the relationship between people. Sometimes expressing anger too strongly can lead to severe results. However, in many cases, anger may be avoided if we can understand each other better. For instance, someone may have done something about which you are very angry, but in fact he/she meant no harm. So it is quite unnecessary for you to get angry. If someone does do some wrong, try to put yourself in his/her position and understand him/her. If you find it really necessary to express your anger, try to do it in a calm, reasonable way. Remember losing your temper does good to neither you nor the other person.

It is common that many students’ parents and teachers consider marks as everything, but in fact, marks only show whether one gains more or less achievement in a certain period. It does not mean students who get high marks are top or excellent ones. What’s more, marks can be truly improved if you work hard at your lessons. However hard you feel at present, you will be happy in the future,so you should adjust your mind to reality and make up your mind to make progress. As a matter of fact, if you put your heart into your study, whatever the result is, there is nothing left for you to regret.

At present, people react to short messages wildly involved in various TV programs in different ways.
Defenders hold the view that short messages offer the audience more chances to participate in the live programs, which can bring the mass media a lot of benefits and appeal to the need of the young people. Critics accuse that if the short messages are out of control, we cannot ensure the quality of the programs, and the expenses may make audience feel bad. To make matters worse, some adolescents are so addicted to them that too much time and energy are wasted.
As far as I am concerned, the short message is a typical information technology, but it is a

powerful tool that needs to be used with care. [答案] 41.【参考范文】 The Importance of Perseverance
The author describes a moral story about the race between the hare and the tortoise. As a result of carelessness and pride that the hare has shown, the tortoise has won the race although he is a slow runner. It is perseverance that has made the tortoise a winner.
As is known to us all, we can’t go without perseverance wherever we go. For example, as a student, we will meet with different kinds of troubles in our daily life. Some students may be in low spirits and won’t work hard. It’s natural for them to fall behind others. On the other hand, some students will be able to encourage themselves even if suffering from failure. It seems that nothing can stop them from achieving their goals. It’s a pity that we have seen some so-called clever students spoiling themselves and nobody can persuade them to work hard.
In my opinion, one can win at last whether he or she is clever or not. As long as one shows his or her perseverance, one can achieve his or her goal in spite of some disadvantages. [答案] 42.【参考范文】 Attitude
This article points out a common phenomenon—you are the mirror of your own. When you smile at it, it will smile at you. When you feel sad, it will give you nothing but sadness. In this passage we can understand this through different attitudes of the little dogs.
In our daily life, it is difficult for us to be in trouble and it is a pity that some people can’t stand. They are always complaining about the situation which is unfair. In fact, it’s your own attitude towards life that reflects what a life you will live. Try to be yourself and learn to be happy and strong. Try to be content with your present situation. As a saying goes, happiness lies in contentment. On the other hand, we should learn to find beauty from others. It’s not a good idea to be particular about what you see wherever we go. If you respect others, you will achieve a lot in return.
