In recent years, more and more high school students choose to study abroad.

One possible version:

　 In recent years, more and more high school students choose to study abroad. And the hottest countries they go are the US, the UK and Australia. Besides, Canada is also a popular country.

　Those who go study abroad vary from strong students to weak ones. It is said the admission process for universities abroad is quite different from ours. They don’t have examinations like Gaokao, which is almost the only bridge leading to universities in China. What the universities see important in an applicant is not only their academic performance, but also their social skills. Of course, for some students, applying for an overseas school is a way for them to avoid Chinese Gaokao, which to a large extend will bring them failure rather than success. Due to this, I feel concerned about their being successful abroad.

Anyways, everyone has their rights to choose where to have their university education, abroad or not, if it’s a good choice for you, go for it.

Natural disasters left students in miserable life. However, they never gave up　 study.

Natural disasters left students in miserable life. However, they never gave up　 study. As it’s shown in the two pictures, in a primary school in Yunan, students are learning attentively even though they were in serious trouble of lacking food and drinkable water. It is obvious that they want to equip herself with knowledge. A girl stood in front of ruins after the earthquake, holding her books firmly in hand. There is no doubt that she is thirsty for knowledge.

The students in the two photos deserve our admiration. Though experiencing disasters, they still have a strong desire for study. Their perseverance and striving spirit touched everyone’s heart..

The two photos also let me know that I should value what I have. When facing a sticky problem, I won’t give up. I will regard devotion as my goal in life, having more diligence and fewer complaints. Meanwhile, I appeal to the whole society to take actions to improve their living conditions.

2010 sees the celebration of the fifteenth World Book Day.

One possible version:

2010 sees the celebration of the fifteenth World Book Day. Books are very important in our daily life because they have recorded the history and the wisdom of human beings. Books are also works of art and science, and vehicles for ideas. Books improve our understanding of the world. Good books can bring us a large fortune. They also provide development opportunities for all ages and, in particular, for us young people. We should know that a person who doesn’t read has no future, nor does a nation.

I have loved reading since I began to study in primary school. But, being a high school student, I have been burdened with heavy school works and haven’t had much time to read books. I should try to do some reading every day though I’m busy preparing for the university entrance examinations. And I will not only read ancient Chinese masterpieces but also foreign literature books.

对每个人而言，学习是非常重要的。请你以Being a Successful Learner为题，根据下表的提示，写一篇短文。字数：150左右。

One possible version:

Study is very important for every individual because we have to acquire new and advanced knowledge to keep pace with the rapid development of science and technology. The fierce competition pushes every one of us to seize every opportunity to study. And as the future generation of China, we should equip ourselves with rich knowledge to make our country stronger and more powerful.

What makes successful learners? Successful learners are similar in many ways.　 They are independent thinkers and take an active and positive attitude towards their study. Besides, they have clear objectives in mind. They know themselves well and have the competence of applying what they have learnt to practice.

How can we be successful learners? In my opinion, first of all, we should develop our interest in study, as the saying goes, “Interest is the best teacher.” Second, we should form the habit of making plans for our study and keeping a good balance between study and entertainment. Last but not the least, remember not to depend on our teachers or textbooks only.
