【正文】 opulation at risk. (179 words) Sample 2 I don39。t think environmental risks are worth taking. Man has already done too much damage to the pla. We will all suffer the consequences of increased global warming, massive pollution of rivers and oceans, and continuous destruction of forests. We must start looking for more ways to improve the environment rather than continuing to damage it. Of course, we all want to have a more fortable life. We want all the modern devices such as refrigerators, television sets, airconditioners and other household items that bring us convenience and fort. We want cars instead of bicycles so as to travel faster and over longer distances. We want to be able to buy more and more things. But at what cost? If we produce more garbage, if we pollute the air, the land and the great rivers more seriously, we will not be able to breathe fresh air or drink clean water. Health risks will increase and our life span will decrease. So the environmental risks are not worth taking at all in the long run. The shortterm gains can39。t outweigh the longterm pain and suffering. We shouldn39。t use our own hands to destroy the place we are living in and our future generations will depend on for their living. (208 words) 1) Sample Dear friend, After I read your essay Those College Finals, some questions pop into my mind. You said that the most miserable moment of a college student39。s life is during final exam week, that real life is an openbook test, and that real life is much easier than college life. However, I don39。t quite agree with you. Firstly, the purposes of finals are to show how students are getting on with their studies, help them find their weaknesses and have a better grasp of what they have learned. If one works hard at other times, one shouldn39。t be afraid of finals. The final exam week is thus by no means the most miserable moment. Secondly, in real life, we can39。t anticipate what will happen tomorrow and don39。t know what should be prepared for. So it is not easier. On the contrary, it is much more difficult than college life. So I think you need to take a closer look at college life and real life, gain a better understanding of both so that you won39。t go to extremes. I hope you39。ll be more positive towards the world. (189 words) Yours sincerely, 8 2) Sample When the National Entrance Exam was approaching, simulated tests became more frequent. One morning, we had a math test first. It was very difficult and we were all very depressed. The physics test would soon follow. We all begged the teacher not to give it, but he wouldn39。t listen. We could do nothing but take it. It was even more difficult. You can imagine how frustrated and exhausted we were when we left the classroom around noon. That afternoon, we had two hours of English. To our despair, the English teacher had a pile of papers too! Perhaps she saw we were all tired, she didn39。t distribute the papers at once. Instead, she asked us, Wouldn39。t you like to have an English test today? We were almost paralyzed by too many tests and too many failures, so we shouted in chorus, No! She was astonished. A few seconds later, she said, No, we won39。t have the test today. (160 words) Sample 1 A Race Against Time Sometimes time passes slowly, and sometimes it passes quickly. For example, it happened to me on the playground one day. We were having a PE lesson and timing a 1,000meter race. When my turn came, I became nervous and I knew I would have a hard time. After a while, I dropped to the last. I tried my best to keep up with the rest of the group, but the distance between them and me became longer and longer. I said to myself, I am the last one! I became increasingly nervous. Soon I was out of breath and worn out. My legs seemed so heavy that they moved very slowly and I couldn39。t control them. At the same time I was thirsty and got a stuffy nose. I thought of quitting, but I couldn39。t. I had no choice but to continue. I finally finished the race. A classmate asked me, How do you feel? Terrible, I said. The past few minutes seemed like an hour. Almost at the same time, I heard the teacher39。s voice, The last runner39。s time: 4 minutes and 27 seconds. I couldn39。t believe my ears. (190 words) Sample 2 Time Flies We bought a puter for our dormitory a month ago. At first we all promised not to play puter games, but later, we all broke our promises. Last Sunday evening, I was going to do some homework. It was 5:30 . and I thought I had plenty of time to finish it that evening. At that time, my roommates were playing the game Need for Speed III. They cheered when they won the game and attracted my attention. I couldn39。t resist the temptation and said, Let me have a try. How exciting it was! I sat in front of the puter as if I were in a racing car. I ran into a corner and stepped on the gas and rushed ahead and won. Sometimes I made a mistake and the car turned over, but I didn39。t lose heart. Again and again I played. Again and again I wanted to play again… I didn39。t care what time it wa s. I thought it was still early. Time flew and four hours passed before I knew it. I was astonished when I looked at my watch. It39。s impossible, I thought, because it seemed to me like only a little while. I jumped off the stool and started at once to do my homework. I tried my best but couldn39。t finish it as I had planned to. (224 words)
