Dear Dick,

One possible version:

Dear Dick,

　　 How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going on in schools in China? In short, things have begun to improve since schools were called on to reduce learning load. J don't know about others, but I used to have to work even at weekends doing endless homework and attending classes as well. Now I have more free time. I can follow my own interests such as reading books, visiting museums, and taking computer lessons. In the evenings I can watch news on TV or read newspapers. What's more, I can go to bed earlier. As far as I know, everyone is happy about this new arrangement of things.

　　 Best wishes,

Li Hua

Dear Editor,

I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks.

Opinions are divided on the question. 60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They believed a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city.

On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardeners and other workers and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, however, fees should be charged low.

Yours truly,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Li Hua

　　 Li Ming and I took part in a wilderness survival program yesterday, and it has been one of the most unforgettable experiences since high school.

　　 Early in the morning, we set out. Li Ming was carrying a compass and a tent in his backpack, and in mine there was a flashlight, a map, a knife, a first-aid kit, some matches, candles, food, and clothing.

　　 On the way to the campsite, we climbed a hill, and then we swam across a river, pushing the backpacks on a large piece of wood we had found by the river.

　　 As we got into a forest, we lost our way. Luckily, we found the right direction with the compass.

　　 By the time we arrived at the campsite, it had already been dark. Li Ming then put up the tent, and I made a fire and started cooking.

Changes In Our Life

　　 Over the past twenty years or so, great changes have taken place in our life. Take my family for example. My parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past, but now we call long distance at home. And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information, but now we watch the news and other programs on TV. Another big change is in the housing conditions. When they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with furniture, but now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment. In short, changes in our life in the past twenty years have brought us comfort and convenience.

　　 Thirty-eight years ago, the late Chairman Mao called on us to learn from Lei Feng. To mark the occasion, we organized an activity at a nearby bus station today.

　　 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　　 Today's activity has taught us the new meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng: Sharing with others what you have - your time, energy, or knowledge - makes you feel warm in your heart. It has truly made a difference in how I feel about myself.

　　 Thirty-eight years ago, the late Chairman Mao called on us to learn from Lei Feng. To mark the occasion, we organized an activity at a nearby bus station today.

　　 At 8 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the 712 bus station, where we were warmly welcomed by the drivers and conductors.

　　 Then we broke up into several groups. Some of us taught some drivers and conductors English, while others cleaned the buses. Still others directed traffic at the crossroads near the bus station and helped the elderly cross the street.

　　 Staff members of the bus station and our classmates then took part in a general knowledge quiz on the Olympic Games in the afternoon, which was great fun for both sides. Around four o'clock, we said goodbye to one another, and felt very happy on the way home.

　　 Today's activity has taught us the new meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng: Sharing with others what you have-your time, energy, or knowledge-makes you feel warm in your heart. It has truly made a difference in how I feel about myself.

　　 Li Ming and I took part in a wilderness survival program yesterday, and it has been one of the most unforgettable experiences since high school.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　　 The two of us spent the night in the forest.

　　 We learned to use knowledge gained in classroom training to solve problems. It was quite an experience for us both, which I'll never forget for the rest of my life.

5. 思想性

　　 新标准对写作的要求，增加了情感因素，在准确流畅表达写作要点的同时，适当增加句子的感情色彩，增加一些人情味，是文章读起来亲切，完全达到与读者进行交流的目的。如:

　　 (1) Do you think you'll like it? If not, I can try and find another flat for you. (NMET 2001 范文)

　 (表现了作者对朋友尽职尽责的心情，回信由此充满了感情色彩)

　　 (2) As far as I know, everyone is happy about the arrangement of things. (NMET 2001范文)

　　 (表现了作者对减负后的喜悦心情)

　　 (3) I hope you can come to China to watch the Olympic Games in 2008. Then I'II be very happy to be your guide. (NMET 2002北京春季范文)

　　 (表现了作者对朋友的深厚的友谊)

4.尝试改变句子的开头方式，不要一味地都是主语开头，接着是谓语、宾语，最后再加一个状语。要灵活运用诸如倒装句、强调句、主从复合句、分词短语等，这样能增加文章的节奏和韵律美。

　　 (1) We met at the school gate and went there together early in the morning.

　　 修改意见: Early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together.(NMET 1998范文)

　　 (2) We had to stand there to catch the offender.

　　 修改意见 :What we had to do was stand there to catch the offender. (NMET 1997范文)

　　 (3)Our brave Ah Fu had saved my little sister.

　　 修改意见: It was our brave Ah Fu who had saved my little sister. (NMET 1993 范文)
