______________________________________________________________________________

One possible version:

Every time I read “…if I had the power of sight for three days”, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller, an ordinary but great American woman. I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sulliven, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder!

Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have, and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.

One possible version:

Dear Paul,

Recently my family are planning to improve our housing conditions. We have different ideas about whether we should buy an old-style house in the suburbs or a flat in the downtown. Some suggest we buy a modern flat because it’s big and bright, and it’s conveniently located close to shops and schools.

However, the others are in favor of the old-style house. They consider the air is fresh and it’s peaceful to live in the suburbs. The most important thing is that neighbours have more chances to communicate with each other to make a harmonious living atmosphere.

What’s your opinion?

One possible version

Dear Xiao Ling,

　 I’m very glad to receive your letter today. How are you getting along with your study?

In your letter, you asked me whether you should buy a mobile phone or not. In m opinion, it is unnecessary for a student. Why? First, using a mobile phone takes up too much time to send or receive shore messages. Therefore the time that you should spend on studies becomes shorter. Second, it is forbidden to utilize mobile phones at school because sometimes you have to respond the call in class. Otherwise, your behavior can disturb others. Third, you may be disturbed by some false short messages. Furthermore, as a student without independent economy, you have to ask parents for the phone expense. That is, they will burden more to support you than before.

In short, I suggest that you consider my words twice.

Best wishes.

Your friend,

Li lei

注意：

词数：120左右；

One possible version:

We middle school students have many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure. Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They often lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes.

I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.

My opinion on copying others’ homework

It is known to us all that some students copy others’ homework.　　　　　　　　　　　　

My opinion on copying others’ homework

It is known to us all that some students copy others' homework. On one hand, we students have to do a large amount of homework both at home and at school. It is also true that sometimes we have some problems which are too difficult for us to work out. On the other hand, lazy and uninterested in their lessons, some students copy others’ homework both to finish the assignments and please their teachers.

In a word, copying others’ homework is a bad habit. For one thing, it’s against the rules of the school. We should be honest and work hard to achieve high grades. If we have difficulties, we can turn to our teachers and our classmates for help. For another, copying others’ homework too often, we will lose the ability that can help us to think.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s for our own sake to study. We should do our best to gain knowledge. Let’s do our bit to prevent such bad behavior from spreading.

Last week our class had a discussion about making friend .　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

One possible version:

Some of them are for it, while others are against it. They think it has both advantages and disadvantages．

　 Some think that if students are not careful enough and make bad friends，they will form many bad habits，such as smoking，drinking and even stealing or committing crimes．Besides，it will be a waste of time and money．As a result, making bad friends will not only do harm to themselves but also to their families and society．

　 However. others think if they have some good friends, they will share sorrow and happiness with each other．When they are in trouble，good friends will give a hand .In addition, making friends with others will help them to learn how o get well along with others, which will benefit them all their life.

My parents have been wanting me to study abroad, __________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________.

One possible version:

My parents have been wanting me to study abroad, but I do not agree with them.

I think my English is too limited to communicate with foreigners. And I am not fully developed physically and mentally. So it would be hard for me to deal with the problems I will face. Besides, the cost will be too much for my family.

However, my parents think that it is natural to master a foreign language in an English-speaking country. What’s more, studying abroad at an early age will enable me to be independent. Then it would be easier for me to learn advanced knowledge and technology, which would prepare me for a brighter future.

I really don’t know whether I should obey my parents or not. I need some advice!

假定你是李华，看到班上有部分同学在完成作业时，不自己独立完成而是抄袭他人的作业，针对这种现象，请你以My opinion on copying others’ homework为题谈谈你自己的看法。

注意：1. 短文必须包括所有内容要点，可适当发挥；

2．内容要涵盖上面所列的几条。

SAVE EARTH, SAVE US

With the development of modern society, pollution caused by human activities is becoming a more and more serious problem.

Smoke from factories and gases from vehicles are the main reasons for air pollution. Rivers are polluted when people throw waste into them, or when factories pour waste water into them. Modern lifestyle and modern ways of production also cause noise pollution. As a result, many species are dying out. More and more people are suffering from health problems.

Enough attention should be paid to this problem and measures should be taken. Firstly, we should make laws to prevent factories from pouring waste water into rivers and sending smoke into the air without being dealt with. Secondly, we should raise people’s awareness of the serious problem and call on more people to protect the environment. Only by working together can we help the environment!

Dear Jane,

　 I’m sorry to hear that you are not very well these days. In your letter you asked me how to stay healthy. Here is my advice.

　 Firstly, you should keep a balanced diet. You should avoid eating food high in fat and too much sweet food. You’d better eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Secondly, taking exercise every day helps building a strong body. Why not take more exercise in your spare time? As we all know, regular exercise is an important part of keeping us healthy. Finally, make sure you have enough sleep and you mustn’t stay up too late at night.

　 By eating properly and exercising regularly, you can keep your body at a proper weight and stay healthy. I truly hope my advice is helpful and you’ll get well soon.

　 Best wishes.

One possible version:

Dear Mr. Zhang,

We have held a discussion about whether it is good for a top student to share a desk with a slower student.

Some top students are for the idea. As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weakness. Although slower students are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other and develop a friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them with their lessons.

However, others don’t hold the same view. They think some slower students usually have certain bad habits like talking and sleeping in class, which may distract them. Besides, slower students may often ask them questions, which will waste their time.

In my opinion, I’d like to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together.

Yours,

Li Hua
