Under such a suitation, it was the assistant’s duty either to do what she was asked to do or to explain why she was unable to ply with such a request.　　Instead of attending to her duty and acting in a polite manner, the assistant turned a deaf ear to our request and walked away murmuring in a sarcastic manner that our friend was foolish in asking for the removal of the dust. Great was our embarrassment in such an awkward situation.　　We ask you to look into this unsatisfactory state of affairs and to take steps to prevent a similar recurrnce of such offensive behavior in future.

Some people choose to follow the customs of their adopted country, they may find that it helps them to adapt more quickly to the new society. They have something to discuss and share with their new neighbors, and sharing customs is one way for people to feel closer to one another. Thus, following the new customs may help immigrants feel more at home. It may also help them to see the positive things in their new environment and do forget their feelings of homesickness.　　On the other hand, some people choose to continue following their own customs may also find that it helps them feel more at home. There are many things to adjust to in another country, and following their traditional customs may help people feel more secure in the new surroundings. More importantly, our customs are a part of us. They are an expression of the culture that has shaped us. This is something that most of us would like to pass down to our children and share with others. 　　To sum up, our customs have value and are an important part of our culture. Therefore, I don’t believe that we should abandon our traditional customs when we move to another country. At the same time, I believe that we should learn about the customs of our new home and follow those that appeal to us. In this way, we can remember and celebrate our old culture while adapting to our new one.　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a position on the topic How People Spend Their Holidays.

Especially, in 1990, 63% of people spent their holidays at home, while the figure decreased considerably to 24% in 2000. there are three reasons for this phenomenon.　　To begin with, with the development of marketoriented economy, people earn by far more money than they used to, making it possible for them to afford traveling expenses. In addition, people realize the importance of getting wellinformed about the outside world in this modern era to develop their potential. For example, a traveller may encounter or talk with someone of a different cultural background so as to broaden his vision. Last but not least, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is not only beneficial to both their health and peace of mind. In short, more and more people take the occasion of holiday to travel outside and relax themselves.　　As far as I am concerned, I prefer to go traveling instead of staying at home during holidays. On the one hand, I love meeting different people and take in some fresh ideas. On the other hand, it is agreed that the world is being a global village. No one could confine himself within his small circle of families or relatives. In brief, I have benefited a lot and will benefit more from traveling during the holidays.　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a position on the topic Ines and Savings. You should write at least 150 words, and base your position on the table and the outline given below: 　　上圖所示為近年中國(guó)居民收入和存款增長(zhǎng)率的變化，描述其變化并說(shuō)明原因；　　對(duì)此做出評(píng)價(jià)。Ines and Savings　　From the charts we can easily find that ines in China are increasing, and savings deposits are also increasing. In 1965, the average annual ine in China increased at a rate of 6%, and the savings increased %. in 2005 the numbers soared to % and 31% respectively.　　The possible reasons, I think, may be as follows. First, with the development of the economy, the wealth of our whole nation’s increasing. So this promotes the increase in ine and savings. Secondly, people have changed their consumption habits greatly in recent years. For example, many parents now spend a lot on their children’s education, and they have to save money for their children’s higher education. Last but not least, with the increase of ine, people have more money to save, which can later be spent on insurance, house payments and other large expenses.　　In my opinion, the increase of ine and savings is just like a doubleedged sword which can benefit the whole nation’s revenue while hindering the economy’s development. The more money is saved in the bank, the less money people spend. To put it briefly, I think China’s government should take some effective measures to encourage consumption to promote the further development of the economy.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a position on the topic The Changes of the Percentages of Chinese Professions.
