【正文】 ve neighbors. We are not usually able to choose our neighbors. We can only hope that those who live near us will be people we can get along with. However, in my opinion, that is the minimum requirement of a good neighbor. The best neighbors should not only be able to live side by side without quarreling, but also help each other. The first requirement of a good neighbor is that he does not disturb others in the neighborhood. For example, he should not be too noisy or block others’ parking spaces. Second, a good neighbor should cooperate in the care of the neighborhood. Everyone should work together to keep the place clean. Third , neighbors should watch out for each other’s security by reporting suspicious people who may be trying to steal something and dangerous conditions such as a broken slide on the playground. Finally, the best neighbors help each other when they are in trouble. Recently, my neighborhood was affected by a strong typhoon. It caused a lot of damage, but all my neighbors showed their concern for each other by sharing food, water and candles, and helping in any way they could. Some people say that Good fences make good neighbors. But I believe that kindness is repaid with kindness. Also, when we show respect for people it is more likely that they will do the same for us. Therefore, if we want to have good neighbors we first have to be good neighbors. 【譯文】好鄰居 除非住在偏遠(yuǎn)的地區(qū)，否則我們都會(huì)有鄰居。我們通常無法自己選擇鄰居，只能希望住在附近的是容易相處的人。然而，我認(rèn)為容易相處是好鄰居需具備的最起碼的條件。最好的鄰居，不只是住在一起時(shí)不會(huì)吵架，而且能互相幫助。 成為好鄰居的首要條件，就是不會(huì)打擾住在附近的其他人。例如，不會(huì)制造噪音，或是無憂托福網(wǎng) 留學(xué)夢(mèng)工廠 第 4 頁 共 32 頁 堵住別人停車的地方。其次，好的鄰居必須要能與別人合作，一起管理附近的地區(qū)。大家應(yīng)該合作，共同維護(hù)環(huán)境的整潔。第三，鄰 居應(yīng)該注意彼此的安全，發(fā)現(xiàn)想偷東西的可疑人士，或是有危險(xiǎn)的狀況出現(xiàn)，比如游樂場(chǎng)中的滑梯毀損時(shí)，都要告訴大家。最后，最好的鄰居是在有困難時(shí)能彼此互相幫助的鄰居。最近，我們的社區(qū)由于受到強(qiáng)烈臺(tái)風(fēng)的影響，損失慘重，但是所有的鄰居都能互相關(guān)心，分享食物、飲用水和蠟燭，并盡可能地幫助其他鄰居。 有些人說： 籬笆筑得牢，鄰居處得好。 但是我相信，好心一定會(huì)有好報(bào)。而且，當(dāng)我們對(duì)別人表示尊敬時(shí)別人就比較可能用 同樣的方式來對(duì)待我們。因此，如果我們想要有好鄰居，自己就必須先成為別人的好鄰居。 都市生活的優(yōu)點(diǎn) 【題 目】 Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. 【范文】 The Advantages of City Life There are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a small town. The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offers a cleaner, quieter and often friendlier place to live. However, despite the advantages of small town life, I prefer to live in a big city for several reasons. First, life in the city is more convenient. More goods are available and stores are open later. Also, there is better public transportation so it is easier to get around. I can find almost anything I want easily in the city. Second, there are more ways to spend leisure time in the city. There are many places I can go to meet friends and have fun. Finally, and most importantly, the city offers more educational and career opportunities. The city often attracts the best teachers and the best panies. There is also a wider choice of jobs so it is easier to move up the career ladder. For all of these reasons, I prefer to live in the city. Although I sometimes miss the fresh air and quiet life of a small town, nothing can make up for the opportunities that the city offers me. If one wants to be successful, I believe the best place to live is the city. 【譯文】都市生活的優(yōu)點(diǎn) 在大都市和在小城鎮(zhèn)生活各有優(yōu)點(diǎn)，這是不可否認(rèn)的。前者提供給人們比較多的樂趣及便利，而后者則提供給人們一個(gè)比較干凈、安靜，而且通常更親切的居住場(chǎng)所。然而，盡管小鎮(zhèn)生活有這些優(yōu)點(diǎn)，但基于某些理由，我還是比較喜歡住在大都市里。 首先，都市生活比較方便，可以買到比較多的商品，而且商店?duì)I業(yè)時(shí)間比較晚。此外，都市里有較好的公共運(yùn)輸工具，到哪里都比較容易。在都市里，我?guī)缀蹩梢暂p易地找到任何我想要的東西。其次，在都市里有更多的方式消磨休閑時(shí)間。有 很多地方可以讓我去認(rèn)識(shí)朋友，并且玩得很開心。最后，也是最重要的一點(diǎn)是，都市提供更多教育及就業(yè)的機(jī)會(huì)。都市往往能吸引最好的老師以及最好的公司。因?yàn)楣ぷ鳈C(jī)會(huì)比較廣泛，所以要升遷也比較容易。 基于上述種種理由，我比較喜歡住在都市。雖然有時(shí)候我會(huì)想念小鎮(zhèn)新鮮的空氣及安靜的生活，但沒有什么可以彌補(bǔ)都市提供給我的機(jī)會(huì)。如果想要成功，我認(rèn)為最好的居住地點(diǎn)就是都市。 【注釋】 無憂托福網(wǎng) 留學(xué)夢(mèng)工廠 第 5 頁 共 32 頁 undeniable public transportation 公共交通工具 get around 到 處走動(dòng) (=get about ) ladder ；發(fā)跡的途徑 注：本站轉(zhuǎn)載寫作范文，目的是讓考生熟悉托福作文寫作方法，不可實(shí)際應(yīng)用到考試中，否則可能因?yàn)槔淄玫降头謹(jǐn)?shù)，僅供參考練習(xí)之用！ 運(yùn)氣在成功里的作用 【題目】 When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success. Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position. 【范文】 The Role of Luck in Success It has been said that when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success. Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people, I must disagree with this statement. It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success. For example, many important discoveries have been made by accident. There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device. Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right timeperhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity. And of course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success. While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work. If one is willing to work hard, I believe that success will eventually be achieved, with or without the added benefit of luck. Moreover, hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter. If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills, he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it es along. Therefore, my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success. Instead, work h
