1、2. Monday May 18, 2002 Fine This morning our teacher told us something about the Hope Project in class. She said, “Now in the countryside many children still cant go to school because of poverty. Can you help them?” After school, I went home. When I entered my room, I saw the little box in which I k
2、eep my pocket money. Though I wanted to buy a pocket recorder, I decided to send my money to the children who are eager to go to school. I began to write a letter to them at once. After finishing writing it, I went to the post office and posted all my pocket money with the letter together. I felt ve
3、ry happy today because Ive done a good deed.3.Last Sunday my classmates, Lin Tao, and I went to the bookstore. At a counter we noticed a foreigner was asking a man for help, but the man didnt know a word of English. So we went up to him and offered help. After knowing what he really wanted, we took
4、him to the counter where tapes and disks of Chinese folk music are sold and gave him some advice on which to choose. With our help, the foreign guest got some music tapes. He gave his hearty thanks to us and left.Though it took us some time to help him, we were happy anyway.4. Yesterday I paid a vis
5、it to a model high school, together with my friend. Its very big with a beautiful fountain in the center of the schoolyard.We started our visit from the main building. First we went to the lab building where some students were doing experiments. Then we entered the lecture hall behind the lab buildi
6、ng and saw many students listening to a lecture given by a professor. Opposite to the lecture hall was the art center. There we watched groups of students playing musical instruments. Finally we arrived at the playground at the far back of the school. Some boys were having a football game, which was
7、 so exciting that we couldnt help cheering for them.It was really an impressive visit.5. An AnnouncementBoys and girls, May I have (take) your attention, please. There will be a lecture at half past three on Friday afternoon. Its about “Information and English Study”. And it will be given by Mr Li P
8、ing who is a famous teacher from the English Department. Theres sure to be something instructive and interesting. We can get more information from it, I think. And it will improve our English studies to a new stage. Anyone who wants to attend it can come to Room 206. Take notes and have a discussion
9、 after it. Please come here on time. Thats all.6. May I have your attention, please?As you know, our class will have a talk show on environment protection with Class One on May 4th. Before it takes place, we will invite Dr. Lil from Qinghua University to give us a talk on the environment problem and
10、 he will also tell us about the improvement in environment protection in recent years in Beijing.The report will begin at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 30th in the auditorium on the third floor in the classroom building. Im sure we can get enough information from his talk to make good preparations for
11、 the coming talk show. Everyone should be there on time, then listen to the report and make full notes at the same time.By the way, we will have a discussion after the report.Thats all. Thank you.7. In my opinion, you are never too young to do things. For example, Tara Lipinski, the American ice ska
12、ter, won an Olympic gold metal when she was fifteen. Pele, the great Brazilian soccer player, became a professional soccer star the same age as Tara Lipinski. And Mei Lanfang, a famous Chinese opera singer, first performed Beijing Opera when he was ten. Another example is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, wh
13、o started writing music at four. There are still more examples. Shirley Temple was a movie star at the age of three and Tiger Woods starts golfing when he was only ten months old!8. Advertisements appear everywhere in the modern society. When we walk along the street. We can see large advertisement
14、boards with pretty girls smiling at you. In newspapers, we often see half of the pages covered with advertisements. We turn on the TV set and we see advertisements again. Whether we like it or not, they are getting their way into our life. Advertisements help us choose what we need and then we spend
15、 our money on it. They also guide us in finding suitable jobs. However, too many advertisements annoy us. And quite often, they give us false information.9. April 13, Sunday Fine Spring has come. Early in the morning, I went to Xiangshan Park for sightseeing with my parents. While walking around the
16、 park, we couldnt help admiring the beauty of nature. Of course we took a lot of pictures. However, I was quite disappointed to find some bad behaviour. Some people littered anywhere as they liked. Some even climbed up the trees and picked flowers. Although there were some signs warning people not t
17、o touch the lawn, still some people enjoyed themselves there. I hope that such bad behaviour will soon be got rid of and everybody will protect the environment.10. Dear Mary, Im glad to receive your letter again. You want to know something about what is going on in our school. In short, great change
18、s have taken place since our school began to carry out the research-based learning. In the past, the teachers almost took up all the period, writing on the blackboard, explaining the points, and answering the questions raised by themselves. We students are the slaves of study. But now, weve taken up
19、 most of the period, discussing the questions raised by the teachers or ourselves, exchanging our ideas, or solving the problems. We are now the masters of study. After class, we enjoy different kinds of activities instead of doing endless homework. We go to the library to read books, have sports on
20、 the playground and surf the Internet for various kinds of information. How happy we are now. Welcome to our school. Best wishes. Yours truly, Wang Ping11. Nowadays, it is usual for students to find part-time jobs. This winter vacation, I worked as a waiter at a McDonalds. It was the first time that
21、 I had earned money by myself. With the money I could buy something I needed. I was quite excited about it. Now, as a result of a part-time job, I neednt ask my parents for money as before. I think its helpful for a student to know about the outside world and I also think that will help me to make p
22、reparations for the future job. I not only understand the value of money, but also know how to get along with others. In a word, I had a fruitful vacation.12. Dear Editor, Im writing to tell you about our discussion we had on the afternoon of last Wednesday about the good and bad sides of setting of
23、f firecrackers during the Spring Festival. 20 boy and 20 girl students attended the discussion. As a result, 40% of them believe that setting off firecrackers certainly adds pleasure and joy to the festival. Therefore, it is a wonderful tradition. But another 40% of the students think that setting o
24、ff firecrackers causes air and noise pollution, and whats more, it sometimes causes terrible accidents to us and to our property. The other 20 % have never thought about it or dont care a bit. In my opinion, Li Hua13. Pollution A chemical factory lies near my home. The manager was criticized by the
25、government because the pollution had harmed peoples health, but he paid no attention. Then the factory was forced to stop production and the manager said angrily, “ Is there any fact that we have harmed peoples health? In fact, we havent.” Just then, a doctor came, with the result of the medical exa
26、m of the manager, saying the manager was suffering a lung cancer. It is very clear that the population has harmed not only to peoples health but also the manager himself. He was realized the importance of keeping air clean.14. Fire causesFire, one of the most terrible killers in out modern society,
27、is mainly caused by smokers, as can be seen from the graph.In 2002, thousands of fires happened in China. About 50% of them were caused by smokers who left cigarette-ends everywhere. 30% were caused by defective insulation and 20% by children playing with matches. No matter what type of the fire was
28、, there was one thing in common: carelessness.We should warn children of the dangers of playing with matches. Workers should know the importance of good insulation to peoples lives. Smoking should not be in public places.15.Hi, Jason,You asked me about Yao Ming. Here is something I got when I search
29、ed the websites at home.Yao Ming, who is now 2.26 metres tall and 134kg in weight, was born in Shanghai on the 12th of September,1980. It is said he likes meat most and his favourite colour is blue. The man he respects most is late Premier Zhou Enlai and the one he believes in most is himself.He joi
30、ned Shanghai basketball team in 1997 and became a member of China national team Shanghai won the champion of CBA and he was among the top players in the team. In the same year he went to the US and became Number One Overall in the NBA draft, which helped him join Houston Rockets. After many matches as well as struggles he now feels a little tired. Up to now he says he still hasnt got any further definite plan.16. Dear M
