Fire Prevention on Campus
People are alarmed by the succession of campus fires in recent years.In each of these accidents, heavy casualties were reported – houses were burned down, students lost their lives, and properties were damaged.Faced with such a chilling fact, people keep asking, “What on earth results in these repeated tragedies?”
A brief survey of them reveals that human factors still prove to be the leading causes.For example, three of these fires were caused by the students’ use of electric water-heaters.As students often leave the heaters unattended, the risks are rather high should the water in the bottle boil dry while no one is around to turn off the power.In other cases, fires were also caused by stoves, candles, cigarette butts, etc.Since most of these disasters could have been prevented if proper precautions had been taken, students should be better educated on the importance and measures of fire control.The following three reminders are of particular importance for us students: First, learn how to use a fire extinguisher.Second, double-check candles, heaters, stoves and other electric appliances, and make sure there are no open flames before leaving rooms.Lastly, do not smoke in the dorm.◇第一段思路点评:概述并引入下文 ◇语言点提示:

Enhance Awareness to Guard against Campus Thefts
“If you don’t want to wake up and find you have no pants to wear, you’d better put them on in sleep,” goes a popular joke among students.Obviously, campus thefts have become increasingly annoying as they occur far more often than before.And it seems that the thieves are less choosy these days, with their targets ranging widely from bikes, cell phones, purses, pre-paid IC cards to sunglasses, bags, and even underwear.In short, anything that worth a dime is likely to be stolen.What makes students the easy targets? The reasons are not hard to find.But I believe of all these reasons, the lack of anti-theft alertness is the most important.For lack of alertness, the students tend to leave the doors and windows wide open during sleep at noon or at night in

summer.For the same reason, they’ll also leave their bikes unlocked before a store or by a road, or forget to take away their personal stuff before they go out of the classroom to make a phone call.These acts undoubtedly have increased their exposure to the light-fingered monsters.In order to minimize possible losses, the students must stay on guard in the first place, as awareness of the thefts around often makes a big difference.To be more specific, the students should not hide any tempting amount of cash in the dorm.Put it in the bank instead.Besides, do not leave any valuable items unattended.Take them wherever you go.In addition, it’s advisable to develop a neighbourhood watch programme with other students in the dorm and neighbouring dorms.◇第一段思路点评:陈述校园盗窃案件发生的情况 ◇语言点提示:it seems that此句型表示一种可能性 ◇第二段思路点评:说明被盗原因 ◇语言点提示:

How Will Our Life Go on without Internet? If asked whether the Internet is the greatest discovery of the 20th century, my answer would be yes.The Internet has drawn the world closer together, realized countless incredible dreams, and provided modern people with a great many conveniences and a brilliant life.Today, many people simply feel they cannot live without the Internet.Governments publish their latest policies and decisions online for worldwide recognition.Political campaigns are often done online to gain wider public support.Companies and enterprises resort to the Internet for more business opportunities and potential customers home and abroad.Universities and researchers turn to the Internet if they’d seek international cooperation or funding.Common folks like us also rely on the cyber world in various ways, for communication, entertainment, banking and shopping.True, the power of the Internet is all pervasive and its many negative effects are already visible.For example, Internet addicts tend to withdraw to their own fantasy world rather than communicate with a real person.Children are exposed to online pornography and violence.Internet frauds are an everyday occurrence.In view of all this, you are advised to use the Internet with wisdom.Keep it at a safe distance and never lose yourself.◇第一段思路点评:综述网络给人们生活带来的多彩和便捷。两个长句足矣。第一句用if引导的条件句引出“网络”话题,第二句概述网络带给多彩和便捷的生活。◇语言点提示:

As a primary source of information as well as an efficient means of communication, the Internet offers people a colourful and convenient life.Just by clicking the mouse, we can enjoy a brilliant and easy life that could not be achieved ever before: shopping, making friends, contacting relatives, looking for jobs, downloading music and movies, conducting business deals, and freely airing our opinions.For its convenience, the Internet has attracted people like magnets and some people even claim that it is indispensable.To them, life can’t go on without it.Every day millions of people spend hours on end surfing the Internet.They are obsessed with it so much so that they forget many other important matters.As for me, I don’t approve of unrestrained Internet reliance.Although the Internet is a gift of the technological revolution and a blessing of this information age, we should never let it control our life.The Internet absolutely doesn’t mean the whole world to us.Instead, we should guard against its negative effects.To those Internet addicts, I would add: “Self-control can make or break your life.With proper use, the Internet serves you;otherwise, it kills you.”

【范文】
Craze for Civil Service Examinations
Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees.Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force that can’t be ignored.The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts.On the one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest.On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as well as other comforts of life, it’s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish world economy.Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach, as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.The fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.◇第一段思路点评:第一句总述人们蜂拥参加公务员招考,第二句点明大学生是其中的主力军,第三句再述热衷于公务员报考的大学生不仅有文科的,还有理工科的。

【范文】
Is it Necessary to Attend Training Classes?
All across the country a great diversity of custom-made classes are mushrooming, in which special training is provided concerning computer skills, arts, sports, and other extracurricular specialties like maths and writing.Among them language crash courses for various tests, such as CET, BEC, TOFEL, IELTS, GRE and so forth, are especially noticeable for its wide range and high attendance rate.Some consider it advisable to attend such classes while others believe it unnecessary.The former argues that it’s far more effective to command these special skills with the help of an experienced trainer than to work at them on their own.They are convinced that these training classes can make up for what is not taught in school, hence, more competitive edge over their peers.The latter group of people, nonetheless, criticize it as a sheer waste of resources.They warn that the quality of most training courses is questionable, as they are marketed to get money out of our pocket rather than get knowledge into our head.As far as I am concerned, a little bit of such special training does us no harm, but too much of it can only prove to be counter-productive.Anyhow, the deprived free time can be better invested in recreation at weekends, talking to an old friend, or simply enjoying a long-overdue vacation.◇第一段思路点评:第一句综述社会上提供知识、技能服务的各类培训班雨后春笋般兴起,第二句例举语言速成课程特别火爆。

【范文】
University Students’ Pursuit of Famous Brands
“What perfumes are you wearing?” “Aren’t your shoes Nike’s latest release?” “I like the Mickey bag you bought yesterday.” “I hear the Jack &Jones store is on sale this week.Do you wanna come along?” Don’t feel surprised if you hear them coming out of the mouth of college students.It’s quite common to hear and see college students swapping information about the brands they like and the products they use.In fact, discussions about brand names have become one of the college students’ favourite pastimes.They learn about the latest fashion from each other, exchange tips about when and where to get the item, and buy it at their earliest convenience.“Keeping up with the Joneses” is their conviction – “If the Joneses have it, how could I have not?”
四年之约,与你相伴
About this current mindset of the college students, many people may hasten to show their disapproval.They’ll probably take it to be a reflection of the students’ vanity and superficiality.And they may lecture them on the virtue of being thrifty.However, I beg to differ.For one thing, name-brand products are usually quality products.As such, they are something beautiful, endurable, and reliable.“The love of beauty is common to all,” goes the proverb;therefore, there’s nothing to blame about the pursuit of famous brands.For the other, college students are old enough to make their own decisions.Likewise, they must abide by the consequences if they make an ill-advised one.If they let their pursuit of brands eat into their budget for other more important issues, they should be able to correct their mistakes and keep everything in moderation.So this becomes no other than a good chance to learn management, isn’t it?
◇第一段思路点评:本段分为两个部分,即详细陈述大学生追求和使用名牌的情况,以及人们对此的看法。
◇语言点提示:
(1)keeping up with the Joneses要在地位和物质上比得上周围的人
(2)conviction坚定的信仰、看法
(七)Knowledge and Diploma

2.而有些人则认为文凭不等于知识

这是一篇论述高文凭与知识关系的文章。第一段,概述社会上文凭越高越吃香的看法。第二段,主要论述有些人文凭不等于知识的观点。第三段,重点阐述你对此的看法。
【范文】
Knowledge and Diploma
It is generally believed that a high diploma guarantees a promising future.Some people identify high diplomas with profound knowledge and exceptional competence.Companies also tend to emphasize the academic achievement of a job candidate.Like it or not, there does exist a social reality – the higher diplomas one gets, the more popular he becomes.On the contrary, other people claim that a high diploma doesn’t automatically translate into knowledge.A diploma, in their eyes, is only the acknowledgment of one’s educational experience rather than a guarantee of one’s ability.Therefore, we can never measure the depth of one’s knowledge by the grade of one’s diploma.Besides, many knowledgeable people don’t have a high diploma.Take Bill Gates for example.His dropping out of college cannot deny the fact that he is one of the world’s most learned men.So I must say no one should ever equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a short-term study while genuine knowledge needs one’s lifelong devotion.来源:考试大

The Rise of Shanzhai Culture
The vast array of knockoff name-brand products, such as cell phones, DVDs, MP3 players, have made “shanzhai” the hottest word of the year.Now we wear shanzhai watches, talk through shanzhai cell phones, play shanzhai video games, use shanzhai computers, even watch shanzhai TV shows.Once a term used before some electronic products to suggest a copycat version of inferior quality, shanzhai now suggests to many Chinese creativity and trendiness.With the media all over the rise of shanzhai culture, public opinions are clearly divided.Advocates invariably associate it with innovation, stylishness, the DIY spirit, open-mindedness and practicality, as shanzhai products often mix imitation with innovation – a similar skin but a different heart.The end products are usually more functional and much cheaper than the original.Besides, they respond to the market more swiftly and they are more considerate in design.Thanks to them, more people at the grassroots level can enjoy the benefit of modern technology.However, other people, including myself, hold more reserved attitudes towards the shanzhai fever.For all the popularity it has won, a copycat is a copycat.The mockery of the prestige products not only steals their profits but also upsets market competition.Moreover, shanzhai products thrive on the current legal loopholes.Under the disguise of anti-dominance slogans, they make illegal profits by violating intellectual property rights and evading taxes.And to top it off, the so-called innovation is only senseless talk as true innovation always faces huge costs and potential failures, while plagiarism simply builds success on other people’s risks.◇第一段思路点评:综述山寨热现象。

It’s Time to Stop Software Piracy
China has often been criticized for the rampant practice of software piracy.Take a look around.We operate on pirated Windows systems, defend PC security with pirated Kaspersky anti-virus programmes, process files with pirated Microsoft Office, draft 3D designs with pirated AutoCAD, refine pictures with pirated Adobe Photoshop, and study English with pirated Kingsoft’s electronic dictionaries and translators.It’s no exaggeration that pirated software is everywhere.四年之约,与你相伴
The logic behind the phenomenon is simple and clear: if a pirated copy is available for just a tiny fraction of the normal price, not to speak of many of the free downloads online, who would pay for an authentic copy? Cheaper prices aside, easy access is another important factor.With such a large gathering of pirated upgrades around, who would bother to spend time and money searching the stores for an authorized yet outdated version?
Despite these apparent benefits, the practice of software piracy should be banned, because it represents unfair competition and by nature it’s a no-win situation.But how? Two approaches are to be taken at the same time: Technically, software developers should enhance their antipiracy engineering, so that cracking the software should be virtually impossible.And legally, the government should also tighten its antipiracy laws and toughen up the penalties, so that violations should be costly.◇第一段思路点评:概述中国盗版软件泛滥的现状。

Effects of Financial Crisis on College Students
Since the financial crisis swept the world, the global economy has sunk into a severe recession.It’s hard to get through a day without hearing or reading news about the devastating effects of the crisis: A world of companies go bankrupt, millions of employees are laid off, high-return investment bubbles burst, and huge sums of loans can never be retrieved.Its impact on our daily life can be felt in all walks of life.College students inevitably fall victim to this pervasive slump as well.On top of that, internships and job vacancies are reduced to the minimum as companies keep shrinking.New graduates find themselves hard to get a job, not to speak of a satisfactory one.What comes next? Poor students will be hard-pressed if they find student loans unavailable any more.As a result, some even cannot afford to continue their studies.Lastly, more students are probably out there anxiously looking for part-time jobs now that they have to help cover their expenses in this gloomy economy.Their innocence and eagerness might be taken advantage of by some malicious businesspeople, or even criminal gang.In response to these threats, we students must act promptly and wisely.Since we definitely will be facing a competitive job market, it’s crucial that we submit high quality resumes.Therefore, we must commit more to our professional studies.Even do better, master more relevant job skills as a double security.Furthermore, apply for scholarships and grants, as these are still available and we don’t have to pay them back.As for the safety issues, trust our instinct – there’s no free lunch in this world.Anything that promises quick returns without much work is a sure trap.Stay alert and protect ourselves.◇第一段思路点评:概述金融危机给各行各业造成的影响。

(十一)Should College Students Live on Campus
a.有些人喜欢住在学校的宿舍,因为……
b.有些人喜欢住在校外,因为……
c.我的看法
There are an increasing number of students who choose to live off campus.Parents and university administrations understandably reacted differently.They voiced concerns about security and the threat of off-campus lifestyles getting out of control.However, college students have their own reasons for their choices.Some students prefer to live on campus for the following reasons.First, campus residents are closer to classes, the library, and other resources, so they are more likely to succeed in college and complete their bachelor’s degree in four years.Furthermore, Living in a dorm is a great opportunity to meet all kinds of new people and develop relationships with them, so students living on campus are more sociable.Last but not the least, living on campus is cheaper and more convenient.Often times, off-campus housing is more expensive than on-campus housing and while living on campus, you don’t have to worry about monthly rent payments and utility bills.Some others choose to live off campus because they believe living off campus they are more independent, with more privacy and a lot more quiet time.Living off campus gives them freedom from those dorm rules and allow them to set their own.The extra space also means that one can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of his own home.As for me, I’m a faithful supporter of the former group because I, living on campus myself, have witnessed and enjoyed all the convenience and happiness of doing so.To me, living on campus undoubtedly adds an important element to the complete college experience.(十二).Directions: Suppose you are Wei Qiang and you will graduate from university.Write a letter of inquiry to the Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin, asking for admission as a graduate student.July, 2007
Dear Sirs,I am very interested in undertaking graduate work in your university.I have read research papers by two of your professors Dr.Thomas Bay and Mr.Sherry Haily.I’d like to study under their guidance.In September of 2003 I was enrolled in the Computer School of the XYZ University as a computer major.Throughout the four years of study, I take this field as one of great potentials for my country.I feel the need to study further in order to develop well in this area.I would appreciate receiving your materials such as departmental brochure or pamphlet, and a university catalog or bulletin.Thank you for your consideration.I am looking forward to your reply.(十三)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Selfishness in Dormitory Life.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in
四年之约,与你相伴
Chinese:
1.大学寝室里自私自利的现象比较普遍
2.分析出现这种现象的原因
3.呼吁大学生改变这种不智之举
Selfishness is a bit prevailing in university dormitories.Some never care about others’ needs or offer help to their roommates.Some even interrupt others’ normal daily life by speaking loudly, turning on the loudspeakers and telephoning at midnight.As the only children in their families, most of them are the apples of their parents’ eye.They have been spoiled and are used to being satisfied.Therefore, they hardly pay any attention to others’ feelings initiatively.What they care about is how to meet their own demands and how to get what they need from others.Moreover, selfish people do not know mutual respect and mutual help are keys to harmonious dormitory life.Selfishness erodes youngsters’ mind and may well undermine their all-round development.Only when we become respectful and helpful to each other, can we create a healthy atmosphere for dormitory life.(十四)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Say “Thank You” to Parents.You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1.很多的大学生从未跟父母道过谢
2.请说明原因
3.你的建议
According to a recent survey involving over 3000 undergraduates, 35% of university students have never said “Thank you” to their parents.Their parents have done all they could to bring them up in the past score of years, but have never been rewarded with gratitude.The subjects claim such reasons as follows.First and foremost, a quarter of the interviewed students regard it as parents’ duty to support them spiritually and financially.And it is not necessary to express appreciation to their parents.However, the majority of youngsters are aware of their parents’ tender love but are not accustomed to saying “Thank you”.Some even find a generation gap between themselves and their parents, thus feeling reluctant to express their affection for their parents.In my opinion, extending thankfulness to our parents is a way of respecting them and their love.We should express our feelings directly and bravely, but what’s more important is, we should do all that we can to reward them.(十五).My First Day on the Campus
I still remember the day when I first came to the college.Being a boy of 17, I was longing for a new life as a college student;but, at the same time, I had no idea what college life would be like.That morning when the bus carried me to the gate of the college, I was so excited that my heart was beating very fast as if it would leap out of my mouth.From now on, I would be a student of this college.After registration, we were led by an instructor to the dormitory, where, for the first time, we were going to live without parents but roommates.I was so clumsy that I did not know how to make the bed and fix the mosquito net.In the afternoon, I took a walk around the campus together with my roommates.To think of studying in such a beautiful place made me feel quite proud of myself.As we were walking along, talking and laughing, a voice came into our ears, “Oh, look at these freshmen!” It was our middle-school-students’ looking that gave us away.We continued our tour of the college, inspecting every building and every garden until the sun began to set.In the evening, we sat together, talking about the past and the future.We were so excited that no one wanted to go to bed.(十六).Studying Abroad
Attending schools abroad has many advantages.In the first place, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds.Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people.Thirdly we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in the second language
四年之约,与你相伴
may be improved quickly.But the most important thing in attending a foreign university is to get acquainted with the latest knowledge in science and technology and make use of the first-rate facilities available.For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university.The most serious problem is the language barrier.Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not have adequate knowledge of the language spoken there.As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying.Besides, for lack of knowledge of the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations.Therefore, misunderstandings often arise.Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-tine jobs in order to help support themselves.Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider both sides of the factors carefully before making up his mind.On the whole, it is a good thing to go and study abroad particularly when the subject is very weak or not available in our country.But on the other hand, one must not lose sight of the disadvantages.(十七).Is the Expansion of Enrollment a Good Thing?
Many colleges and universities have expanded their enrollment since 1998.The reasons for the expansion are as follows.Firstly, they want to keep up with the need of the job market to produce more qualified people to take up the jobs.Secondly, the expansion has entitled many high school graduates to the right of receiving higher education.Last but not least, it can raise the intellectual standards of our nation.However, studies show that the trend to expand has brought about many problems.For instance, the teaching facilities and accommodation capacities of many colleges and universities are limited and are unable to meet the demand of an ever-increasing number of the newly enrolled students.On the other hand, the average quality of the freshmen is declining.In the long run, hunting for a job will be a tough thing for the graduates and that will inevitably exert much pressure on the prospects of employment.In spite of all this, I am still confident that the expansion of enrollment is of great benefit to our society ?and is a good thing.With the development of our national economy, the problem as mentioned above will be solved if proper measures are taken.
