We have had a class
meeting today on whether we should give money to beggars and we have different
opinions.
Some
believe that we should give money to beggars because some of them are old
people, who can’t live on their own. Among them are also some students who have
dropped out of school because their families are so poor. And we can also see
some disabled people. So we should give money to those who need our help badly.
On
the other hand, however, many more students think we shouldn’t give them money
because most of the beggars beg not because they are poor but because they want
to make money more easily. They are not real beggars. Besides, to give money
would encourage them to be lazy even if they have the ability to work.
In
general, we should help the people of the inferior group but when we give money
we should be careful.

Senior middle school graduates of our school have different opinions
on how to choose their courses and universities.
About 35%of the students believe
the choice should be based on their own interests. They say interest is the
mother of success. It is a miserable thing to have to spend most of your time
studying what you have no interest in.
Most student(around 45%),however, insist that main
consideration should be given to the needs of the society, for, they argue, not
everyone can find the job they like best. Besides, interest can be born and
lost.
Interestingly, there are about 20% of the students who find it
difficult to make a choice and would rather depend on their parents or teachers
to make a decision for them.

A recent survey shows that the health of the students in our school
has been going from bad to worse in the past three years . The number of
nearsighted students has increased from 78.2% in 2002 to 92.5% in 2005 , while
that of overweight , from 36% to 52.4%. Nearly 10% more students lack sleep
because of more homework to do . Besides , over 15% more students become
mentally unhealthy .
To improve students’ health , we call for
less homework . Only in this way can students get plenty of sleep and meanwhile
prevent them from being nearsighted . Proper diets and exercise should also be paid
attention to so that they won’t easily put on weight . With their heavy burdens
removed , students can then keep in normal mental health .

Dear Chen Li，
I’m glad to hear from you. You asked me about the
difficulties you may meet with when you get here in UK. Now，I’d
like to tell you something about it.
First，you may have the problem about the language you
think you are well prepared．You may find it difficult to communication with
the natives, because many of them have a strong accent. Besides，you
may not get used to the western food here or even hate to have it. What’s more，you
may feel lonely and miss your family and friends，especially in the
very beginning.
However，you needn’t worry about it. Several weeks later，you
will get used to everything here and love the place，and
I’ll also try my best to help you when necessary.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Wang Ping

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m very glad to read your
advertisement for the Olympic volunteers for 2008. Having read your terms, I
think I’m qualified for the job. I’m Li Hua, a
healthy high school boy. By the year 2008, I will be over 18. Good at spoken
English, I can communicate with foreigners freely. I’m always ready to help
others and full of spirit of devotion. To do the work well as a volunteer, I’m
willing to receive any necessary training, and will do whatever the OSCQ
requires to. I’m sure, by then, I will be able to offer a 15-day service continuously.
Believe me, I’ll make full preparations and will be an excellent volunteer.
Looking forward to your
permission.
Yours,
Li Hua

Fast food
Fast food is becoming more and
more popular in China,
especially among children and teenagers.
There are several reasons for its
popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. Second, you
can either eat it there or take it away. Third, the environment of fast food
restaurants is both clean and comfortable. However, in terms of nutrition, fast
food is far from satisfactory. It is usually not a balanced diet and low in nutritional
value.
Fast food is only a good choice
when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. It’s good for people,
especially children, to eat fast food as little as possible.

Dear Jack，
I
was very glad to receive your letter on the tenth of February. You ask me something
about Lu Xun and his works since you began to study
Chinese literature. Now let me tell you something about him. Lu Xun was a well-known Chinese writer, he was not only a
writer, a thinker, and translator, but also a founder of modern Chinese
literature. His novels have been put into many languages and some of the novels
have been made into films, such as The True Story of AH Q and The New Year’s
Sacrifice which expose sharply the old society. The late Chairman Mao spoke
highly of him. Some of his novels have been collected in high school and
college textbooks. Since you are learning Chinese literature, I think reading
Lu Xun’s novels will benefit a lot.
Yours

Dear Sir (or Madam),
I have read your advertisement in the newspaper. You mentioned in
your advertisement that
your instructors are fully qualified and
you ensure that learners will be able to swim after one week’s training.
Although I can swim a little, yet I am not very confident in the water. So I am
interested in taking part in the training course. Fortunately, I have a seven－day holiday from October 1 to
October 7. I would like to know when and where the course will be given, and
how much the seven－day course costs. Besides, is there anything special that should be
prepared or does your company provide everything necessary?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

Outer Space Explorations, YES or NO?
We
had an argument over whether it was necessary to carry out outer space
explorations at a class meeting the other day.
Some
of us held it important to research the outer space because, first of all,
people can get a better understanding of the outer space through their
exploration. Second, new resources can be found there for human use. Third,
this exploration can possibly bring about new living space for human life.
However,
others think very differently. They said this kind of exploration is much too
costly. Besides, it is very dangerous fro astronauts to do such work.
In
my opinion, people should be pioneering and therefore such explorations into
the outer space are worth trying out.

Dear editor,
I’m writing
to tell you about the discussion we held on whether it is good to keep animals
in zoos. Those who favor the idea think it provides chances for people to see
wild animals. It might also develop people’s love for animals and nature.
Besides, animals in zoos can be protected from danger in the wild.
However,
those who are against the idea think that it’s a waste of money and labor to
keep animals in the zoo. It’ll also damage the balance of nature. Animals will
lose their freedom if caged in the zoo.
I personally
feel it is wrong to take animals away from their natural living areas and keep
them locked up.
Yours sincerely,
Li

Dear Tom ,
It was great to hear from you again . There are many things going on
in our school . In fact things have got much better since we started a different
way of learning .
In the past our teachers stood in front of the class talking all the
time while we students listened , busily taking notes . After a tiring day at
school , we always had a lot of homework to do . Sometimes we even worked late
into the night . Now we are active in class . We often have discussions in
pairs or in groups . After class we enjoy all kinds of activities , such as
going in for sports , dong experiments or surfing the Internet.
We are extremely happy about the changes in our studies .
All the best ,
Yours ,

Dear editor ,
At present , many high school students are addicted to buying
lottery tickets and they seem to have good reasons . However , I’d like to talk
about my views on the phenomenon .
In my opinion ,
its disadvantages are far more than its disadvantages , despite one of their
reasons that they can do something useful for society in this way . High school
students can’t support themselves financially but depend on their parents for
the moment . Thus , in order to collect money with which to buy lottery tickets
, they may try every possible means , even commit crimes .
In addition ,
if they put their minds on lottery tickets , their lessons will be affected
more or less . And in the long run , lottery ticket purchasing will contribute
to their wrong understanding that there must be a shortcut to every destination
, which will surely do great harm to them the whole life .
Therefore , I
think it is necessary for them to keep away from lottery stations and
concentrate on their studies for now .
Yours ,
Li Hua

Dear editor ,
From the questionnaires we have received , we can find the following
facts . Generally speaking , students who come from the city pent much more money
than those from the country on average . For example , students from the city
have spent twice as much money on snacks as students from the country . The
figures also show that students from either the city or the country have spent
most of their money on snacks , chothes and
entertainments , and only a small sum of money has been spent on books and
stationery . In my opinion , students from the city have spent too much on the
whole . And I also think their money should be saved for books rather than
spent on snacks or entertainments .
Yours ,
LiHua

With the development of the Internet, more and more people tend to
send electronic cards instead of paper ones at festivals’ time. Compared with
the traditional ones, electronic cards are more interesting and lively, for you
can get not only pictures but also sound. Besides, it’s faster to send an
electronic card and it can save money. There are many web sites on line where
different varieties of cards are available. If none of these cards are of any
interest to you, you can design cards of special style. More importantly, with
the popularity of electronic cards, less paper is used for making paper cards,
which contributes to the environment protection.

Every student will be faced with the question after he passes the
college entrance examinations: Should I choose a good major or a good
university first? Some students prefer to consider
majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also
make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. However,
those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s
development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely
to find a good job. In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good
university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good
major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a
certain field if we try our best.

My name is Li Hua. All of my life I have
lived in Hangzhou.
I was born here seventeen years ago.
I am a
senior middle school student in Hangzhou No. 1 Middle School and will graduate
in June this year. My parents own and work a small travel agency here. I also
work there during my summer vacation.
During my
first year in senior middle school, our family moved into a new neighbourhood. I liked my new school, and I made a lot of
friends there. I became interested in music and also joined the gymnastics team
of our school.
Now I am
beginning to think more and more about my future. I would like to be a translator.
To do that I will have to study in your university to improve my language
skills. I am looking forward to the future.

Dear Grandpa,
Thank you
for your letter and the check .It was really kind of you to send me so much
money.
I spent one
week at an ecology summer camp in the countryside .We did see a snake .Five of
the boys drove it away .I was excited when they did it.
Thank you
for your good wishes about my knee. That afternoon ,after I returned to school,
I fell over on the stairs .It was not serious and it’s getting better now.
Since I am
very interested in nature, I’ve decided to spend the money you sent me on a
telescope .I can use it to observe natural things. Will that be all right？
With lots
of love,
Yours,
Xiaohua

I did a survey about school uniform. I asked some of my classmates what
they thought about our uniform.
The
majority like it. 60% of them say it is very fashionable and the color is nice.
They think it is neat and tidy and a symbol for students. In some students’ opinion,
when we wear our school uniforms, we feel equal and no need to follow fashion.
Others
don’t like the school uniform. Some of them feel it is uncomfortable and the
color is too dull. Some consider it old-fashioned. In they eyes of others, its
style is very simple. The rest of them have no idea about it.

It’s important
that we should take care of our eyes , otherwise we may get short-sighted. Now
take Xiao Ming for example .Xiao Ming is a top student in our class. He likes
reading very much. But he has a bad habit of Reading. The way he reads is wrong. He
pays no attention to the care of his eyes. For example ,he reads in sunshine or
moonlight :he often reads as he is walking or on a bus. Sometimes he reads as
he is having a meal . Sometimes he even reads in bed . Day by day ,he has got
something wrong with his eyes. He has become short-sighted . What an unlucky
boy he is !
So I suggest that we should have the right
way to read books to keep our good eyesight.

Dear paul,
It was great to
hear from you and I’m very glad to tell you something about Beijing Olympic Mascots
.
There
are 5 Friendlies , or Fu Wa
in Chinese , to serve as the Mascots for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games . Designed
to express the nature of Chinese children, the 5 doll-like Frinedlies
are symbols of four popular animals-the Fish , the Panda , the Tibetan Antelope
, the Swallow –and the Olympic Flame . Each of the Friendlies
has a Chinese name-Beibei , Jingjjing
, Huanhuan , Yingying and Nini. When we put them together , they say Beijing Huan Ying Ni, or “Welcome to Beijing !” in English . These lovely dolls
show us the Olympic spirit of universal friendship , and they each represent
one of the following-the sea , forest ,f ire , earth and sky . As you can see ,
their colours have something to do with the 5 colours of the Olympic rings .
I
really hope you may come to Beijing
in 2008 ! Certainly I’ll be your company then ! Looking forward to your arrival
!
Yours ,
Li Hua
