。Yours, Wei Hua Possible version: Dear Mengsu, Congratulations on your success in getting such a high mark in TOEFL. Your efforts have paid off. From your I know your success resulted from full preparations and your solid language but the most important factor is that you keep practicing. A famous saying goes that “Practice Makes Perfect”. It means it is practice that enables us to do something efficiently, esp. learning a foreign language. Any perfect acplishment of task is the result of longtime practice. If we understand this saying and apply it to our English study, we’ll benefit a lot from it. With the ing of the 2008 College Entrance Examination, we are busy preparing for it. In order to improve my listening, I’ll keep on listening to some programmes on VOA and BBC and also the tapes that go with the listening materials. I’ll seize every opportunity to speak English so that I can develop an instinctive feel for the English language. I’ll read all available English newspapers and magazines to enlarge my vocabulary. Keeping a diary is a good way of improving my written English. When in trouble, I’ll turn to my teachers or my classmates for help. I hope you will give me more advice on how to learn English well and wish you a good journey to Canada. 讀寫任務(wù)4 閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。 One day, Zeng’s wife decided to go out for shopping, but her little son insisted on going with her to the market. Thinking that she would e back very soon, and that the naughty boy would bring her a lot of trouble, she was unwilling to do so. In order to persuade the boy to stay home, she told him, “Oh, e on, good boy, if you listen to Mom and then Mom will give you a present when I am back.” “What present are you going to give me, Mom?” asked the son. “We haven’t eaten meat for a long time, so I will kill our pig and let you enjoy a big nice dinner.” The mother forted the boy when it happened that their pig was wandering in front of the house. Just at that time, her husband came back and heard what she said. Thinking of the nice meal, the boy gave in. Not very soon, the mother came back, but what she saw shocked her. It was her husband who had killed the only pig of the poor family. “Why did you kill it? You know that it is very important for my family.” she scolded him. “I did that just for your promise!” Mr. Zeng answered.

I can’t agree more with Mr. Zeng’s education method. Had I been his child, I would have formed a deep impression on it and gradually cultivated this quality. Just as an old saying goes, “Action speak louder than words.” If our parents themselves can do what they promise, we are likely to follow them. The passage so well retained me the remembrance of an experience. Once, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t play basketball that week. Nevertheless, it is so fascinating that I even tried to persuaded myself to enjoy it. In time, I resisted the temptation and kept my promise. Since then, I have realized that it is keeping our promise that makes us feel a sense of fulfillment and wins respect from others. So, please stick to your promise. 讀寫任務(wù)5 閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。 An old man went to live with his son, daughterinlaw, and fouryearold grandson. The family ate together at the table, but his shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughterinlaw became angry with the mess. So they set a small table in the corner. There Grandfather ate alone while they enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The grandson watched silently. One evening, the father noticed the son playing with wood scraps and asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy responded, “Oh, I am making a bowl for you and mum to eat your food in when I grow up.” The words struck the parents so hard that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. The son took gently led Grandfather back to their table. From then on, he ate every meal with them. Neither of them seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

(33 words) As for me, I always showed my respect and love to the old. When I was young, I brought my questions to them for help often, which made them busy but happy. I formed a habit to take a walk with them after dinner, talking about my study, ambitions and their rich experience. In my opinion, we should treat the old people just like what we want to be treated when we are old. Honor and respect should be given to them by their relatives and the whole society, because they are in poor health, bad mental conditions, and can’t manage everything by themselves. Besides, they’ve already contributed a lot to their family and society and they deserve love from us all. (122 wor
