[参考范文]

A healthy diet and regular exercise may help to prevent obesity among children. Take Li Ming for example.

Li Ming used to be a healthy boy. But over a year ago, he got into the habit of eating a lot of junk food and snacks. Besides, he spent a lot of time lying on the sofa, watching TV, and did little exercise. As a result, he put on so much weight that he found it difficult to climb the stairs.

So Li Ming decided to change the unhealthy life style. He began to have a balanced, healthy diet. He also took part in various sports activities such as swimming, skating, running and playing basketball. Months later, Li Ming became as fit as before.

Passage 50

(湖南省长沙周南中学2007届高三第一次模拟考试)

请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于100字。

You are living in the Rose Residential Area (居住小区), which is newly-built and not very large. Yet, as the picture shows below, at the back of the residential area is a large empty space. People living here are always giving their ideas about how to use it.

Now you describe WHAT should be done with it and tell WHY as well.

[参考范文]

Generally speaking, the Rose Residential Area is a comfortable place with the necessary facilities, including a primary school and parking lots. Yet it’s a pity that it lacks some green spaces. So in my opinion, we should build a garden there in the empty space at the back, with various trees and bushes, flowers and plants, and even fountains. Then we can build paths in the garden, on either side of which can be benches. And at one end of it, we can build a small playground, where we can do some sports.

By the time everything is done, we can spend time there enjoying much of nature. We can walk and play there to relax after a day’s work.

In addition, with the garden well planned and designed, we can also learn about plants and gardening.

I hope my dream will come true and we will surely have more perfect conditions and surroundings.
