Now, you have been asked by the Student’s Union to write a passage entitled: The Main Difference Between My College Life And My Middle School Life As every college student would agree， life in college is different from that in middle sch001． In my opinion, the main difference lies in the fact that we enjoy more independence at college． As far as I’m concerned， I prefer the college life to the middle school life． For one thing，I live on my own： wash my own clothes， buy my own food， looking myself． I make my daily decisions of my own will． For another， I depend heavily on myself in my study． I have plenty of free time outside the classroom． In order to achieve academic success， I can derive as much from the teachers’ lectures as from my own diligence． In the absence of pressure from both the college and the family， I must have a workable plan of my own． To sum up， I live a quite different life at college from that in my middle school in that I am much more responsible for my own life and study． To those newers， 1 would suggest they break away from their parents’ tender care and stand on their own feet． 1997 More Pressure From Academic Studies Does No Good To US Directions: Some of your classmates think that more pressure from academic studies is not beneficial to students. You either agree or disagree with them: More pressure from academic studies does (does not) good to us Nowadays, we may often hear people around us plain that they are under great pressure in their daily life. It is true that no pressure, no motivation. But, how about much more pressure? Different people have different views of point. As for me, I firmly think too much pressure in essence prevents people from achieving academic acplishment rather than do good to us. The causes are obvious. Firstly, in our opening society, people have to acquaint with a vast number of new things so as to obtain better lives, which request them transferring more times from academic studies to other fields, lessening their academic pressure. Secondly, more pressure from academic studies will make people produce mental problems such as stress and qualm, in the long run, which will make academic studies bee impossible. 2 Therefore in my opinion, those who would achieve academic acplishment must not be given more pressure. It is a good academic air that does good to us. 1998 One way to solve the problem Directions: It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a major source of air pollution in cities. Your are to suggest only ONE way to solve the problem. Too many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries. All the time, the vehicles are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are harmful, causing disease and even death. One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not have private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. People would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air. Moreover, dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly. There is no inherent inpatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile. But we don39。t want cars to seize our living space. We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the coefforts from the government, the public and the environments. 1999 A major advantage/disadvantage of advertising on television Directions: We see advertisements on television everyday. Some people think that TV advertising brings as benefits, but others don’t think so. What is your opinion? 2020 The importance of extracurricular activities Directions: College life should be varied and colorful. And extracurricular activities are an important aspect of it. However, at present, there is much room for improvement in this regard. Write an article to the university radio entitled: Dear Editor, People have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some 3 believe that students should spend the whole day on academic s
