Theme-related Writing
1. In about 100-120 words, write about a conflict you once had with your parents. You can start with either of the following openings:
1) I was very unhappy with my mother / father the other day …
2) I was grateful that my mother / father criticized me the other day …
▆ Sample essay
1) I was very unhappy with my father the other day. He must have called out to me for help with some housework, but I was so absorbed in reading that I didn’t hear him. He stepped into my room, apparently in anger, grabbed my book and threw it on the floor. I got upset and insisted that he should pick it up and apologize to me. When he remained silent, I ran out and went off to play games with my friends in the neighbourhood. When it was turning dark, I saw my father looking around for me. He patted me on the head and walked back home with me, his arm wrapped around my shoulder. When I got home, I saw my book had ―returned‖ to my reading table.
2) I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day. I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have – a new pair of shoes or some new clothes. Every time I was refused, I played the same trick— threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the garbage can. My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard. She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour. I couldn’t believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid. I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards. I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes.
2. Describe your attitude towards your father or mother when you were a teenager. When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description.
I was so proud of my father
My father is a well-known carpenter in my village. I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him so much that I followed him and helped him make furniture for the villagers. He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge. All the villagers respected him. They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him, saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father. I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.

▇ Answers for reference:
Some people think that they’ve fulfilled their tasks as long as they go on duty and come off duty on time. They never think about what is meant by “work” and why they should work at all. In fact, “work” involves such qualities as wisdom, enthusiasm, imagination and creativity.
To do his work well, a worker must have a spirit of dedication, and be capable of bearing hardships and standing hard work. In addition, he should have initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability.
In addition, a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does, be responsible for whatever he is doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so, he will find a job no longer a burden but an indispensable part of his life. Whatever he does, he can always find values and pleasure in the work and achieve extraordinary results in otherwise ordinary work. THEME-RELATED WRITING
Write a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “My Career Choice”. Your writing should cover the following points:
1) the kind of job you prefer to do
2) factors you consider when choosing the job
3) conclusion
▆ Sample Essay:
My Career Choice
When it comes to the choice of career, different people consider the matter from different perspectives. Personally I prefer to be a teacher.
I have three reasons for my decision. The first reason is that the profession of teaching is in agreement with my personality. Being an outgoing, patient and understanding person, I think I am able to communicate with my students and understand their feelings easily, which constitutes an important factor in ensuring success in teaching. The second reason is that I am interested in the job. It would always give me great joy and satisfaction to see the happy faces of my students, to share my knowledge and life experience with them and to participate in their process of growing up. The third reason is related to my occupational attitude. I always believe that school teachers all over the world are respected for their profound knowledge and higher social status. I have always held my teachers in respect and I hope I would be respected as a teacher, too, in the future.
I think teaching is an ideal career for me. Being a university student now, I will work hard to realize my dream.

Nowadays, many people are enjoying the benefits brought about by material and technological advances unimaginable in previous eras. With the development of science and technology, people’s standard of living is getting higher and higher. People’s life expectancy has soared, too.
However, oddly enough, many people do not feel happier than they used to be. It can be seen that there is no close correlation between people’s income and their happiness. Happiness cannot, after all, be bought with money.
Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives, they are happy to be alive, and the more time they live on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be. What is important is that material wealth is far from enough. People need spiritual happiness, too.
Theme-Related Writing
Write an essay of no less than 150 words about a technological invention. Your writing should cover the following points:

2) the positive impact of the invention on people’s life
3) the negative impact of the invention on people’s life
4) your opinion
▇ Sample essay:
The Impact of the Mobile Phone on People’s Lives
Among the many technological inventions, the mobile phone impresses me most.
The mobile phone brings considerable convenience to our lives. It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures. Yet, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.
Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that with advances in science and technology, improved and safer models of mobile phones will surely serve us still better. (184 words)

2 Translate the following passage into English. ▇ Answers for reference:
Some people think that they’ve fulfilled their tasks as long as they go on duty and come off duty on time. They never think about what is meant by “work” and why they should work at all. In fact, “work” involves such qualities as wisdom, enthusiasm, imagination and creativity.
To do his work well, a worker must have a spirit of dedication, and be capable of bearing hardships and standing hard work. In addition, he should have initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability.
In addition, a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does, be responsible for whatever he is doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so, he will find a job no longer a burden but an indispensable part of his life. Whatever he does, he can always find values and pleasure in the work and achieve extraordinary results in otherwise ordinary work.

My Career Choice
When it comes to the choice of career, different people consider the matter from different perspectives. Personally I prefer to be a teacher.
I have three reasons for my decision. The first reason is that the profession of teaching is in agreement with my personality. Being an outgoing, patient and understanding person, I think I am able to communicate with my students and understand their feelings easily, which constitutes an important factor in ensuring success in teaching. The second reason is that I am interested in the job. It would always give me great joy and satisfaction to see the happy faces of my students, to share my knowledge and life experience with them and to participate in their process of growing up. The third reason is related to my occupational attitude. I always believe that school teachers all over the world are respected for their profound knowledge and higher social status. I have always held my teachers in respect and I hope I would be respected as a teacher, too, in the future.
I think teaching is an ideal career for me. Being a university student now, I will work hard to realize my dream.
