范文：

让梦想在现实中起舞

仰望星空，那似乎没有纤瑕的星辰在银河中闪耀，它带给我们无限的遐想，那不染纤尘的星空里，放飞了多少人美丽的梦想！飞上星星的人知道，那里像地球一样，有灰尘也有石渣，于是他们失去了对幻想的渴望。我们虽不能一味沉溺于自己的幻想之中，却也不能让自由飞翔的思想湮没在无情的现实里。

（第一段提出论点，即论述“是什么”）

阮籍目瞩世间的浑噩不堪和好友的身首异处，借醉酒逃避现实，他的一生一直在逃避、逃避、逃避，却终因一篇《为郑冲对晋王笺》被人唾弃。嵇康则完全生活在现实之中，不肯向生活做出任何妥协，最终以一曲《广陵散》而成为绝响。其实人生由阮籍的醉酒向前一步便是嵇康的《广陵散》，人生有嵇康的《广陵散》向后退一步便是阮籍的醉酒，殊途同归者的境遇竟是如此迥异。若是两人各向中间迈出一步，将幻想与现实稍加中和，也许就不会落得生者隐入迷幻，死者融入苍穹，只留给后人无尽的怅惘。

（第二段举例，正反对比分析原因，即论述“为什么”）

我们如何才能让仰望星空的人了解现实，又如何才能让飞上星星的人保留梦想呢？

在那个人人埋怨的时代，沈从文先生目瞩现实的残酷，却依然将那个江南小城写成了山美、水美、人美的世外桃源，现实没有湮没他对人生的希望，他用一份最 1

原始的情感和一颗赤子之心看待这个社会，看待自己的人生。他没有沉醉于自己的幻想，亦没有让现实麻木自己的心灵。

张允和先生亦是一位智慧的老人，她一生经历了大富大贵，也经历了战火纷飞，十年浩劫，而她却永远保有一副悲天悯人的情怀，一颗永不衰老的童心。她那悲天悯人的情怀使她正视现实并战胜现实，而她那颗永不衰老的童心则使她在任何艰难的情况下都不放弃幻想的权利。

川端康成浅浅的一句“凌晨四点钟，看到海棠花未眠”，瞬间感动了多少心灵，这是梦和现实最完美的结合。让那些世俗之物顷刻间土崩瓦解，让多少在现实中日渐麻木的心灵得到了温暖。

（以上三段段提出解决现实问题的办法，，即论述“怎么样”）

正视现实，但不委身于现实，保持幻想，但不沉溺于幻想，让梦想在现实中去跳一曲酣畅淋漓的舞蹈！（06山东高考作文，关于远看近看星星不同的材料话题）

心弦上的焰火

轻轻扫拂着覆盖在心房上的薄薄尘埃，幽幽地打开心的透亮的水晶盒，一束火蓝的焰火犹如精灵般跃动，映照着整个剔透无瑕的世界。而正是这灵动的焰火，闪烁着多少激荡的灵魂，成为我永生的不可磨灭的纪念。

舟摇摇以轻飏，风飘飘而吹衣。一片晨曦雾霭中他醒悟着以往之不谏，犹知来者之可追。樊笼里的荣华富贵岂能让自由飞翔的小鸟甘心折断双翼，戴上金银打造 2

的枷锁？云无心以出岫，鸟倦飞而知还，远离世俗喧嚣，醉倒在南山里的悠悠菊香，与飞鸟相与还，临清流而赋诗，独守高洁也很写意——纪念靖节先生，让我懂得了在浮躁纷扰中独守心中一方乐园和净土……

乱石穿空，惊涛拍岸，卷起千堆雪。孟德在赤壁低吟悲歌，周瑜在赤壁谈笑风生，而真正带给赤壁完美壮烈的是苏轼。官场上的险恶风波并没有消沉他高昂的意志，生活上的清贫并没有销蚀掉他那乐观向上的心。伴着涓涓细泉，聆听习习古风，故园神游中，苍银白发与皎洁月光交相辉映。一尊还酹江月，多么豪迈的举杯，淡逝了多少哀伤及生活磨难——纪念苏轼，让我懂得了在困难逆境中应保持有奋勇向前的心……

壮士饥餐胡虏肉，笑谈渴饮匈奴血。如此凌云壮志却被昏庸皇上的十二道金牌召回临安，英雄难以再倾力保家卫国。纵然是白了少年头空悲切的惆怅哀痛令人心酸，也敌不过朝野中奸佞小人的蜚言流语，最终只能背负着“莫须有”的罪名饮恨长辞。但那句“待从头，收拾旧山河，朝天阙”的豪言壮语激情四射，永远震荡人们的心灵，回响在大地河山之间——纪念岳飞，让我懂得了何谓“精忠报国”的铁骨铮铮，澎湃着我爱国的血液……

没有铺满玫瑰花的红地毯，也没有震耳欲聋的掌声，历史悄悄地落下帷幕，而我却用清纯的心灵去装载这群君子的幽雅淡香，澎湃激情，去深深纪念他们，让他们永远似火凤凰一般不断涅槃重生，如荆棘鸟般在尖刺刺破心脏时唱出世上最美妙的歌，让他们的价值追求在熊熊烈火中燃放，也点亮我的生命，化为我生命中那扣人的心弦……

心弦上的焰火，我永生守侯……（05广东，话题：纪念）

留给明天

我要把清澈的溪流留给明天，我要把湛蓝的天空留给明天！我要把我这最纯美的心灵留给明天！ ——题记

冰心说：“爱在左，同情在右；在人生的路上，一路撒种，一路花开，嗅着鲜花的芬芳，人生便不觉孤单。”读后，我哭了，我读出了关爱——一种能唤醒人心底某种东西的强烈力量。她阳光洒满大地，如细雨滋润万物，我们又有什么权利拒绝播撒关爱呢？于是，我在本子上写下——我把自私抛在今天，我把关爱留给明天！

翻开书，看到了罗斯福，这位美国的钢铁总统。由于意外，他中年下肢瘫痪，但他却凭着惊人的毅力重新站了起来，拄着拐杖重新叱咤风云于美国政坛……从中，我读到了他那份坚毅与刚强，理解了史铁生与地坛那不解的情愫，悟出了邰丽华那除了舞姿之外的永恒美丽。于是，我在本子上写下——我把脆弱抛在今天，我把刚强留给明天！（分论点一）

闭上眼，想到了曼德拉，想到了他邀请对他进行百般折磨的监狱看守人员参加他的就职仪式的惊人之举。在就职仪式上，他说：“我要感谢这些看守，在狱中的这段时间是我一生中最宝贵的日子，它让我学到很多，尤其是宽容。”我很钦佩曼德拉，这位黑人运动的领袖，欣赏他的执著与刚强，更欣赏他的乐观与宽容。我们的生活又何尝不需要宽容呢？你一脚踩扁了装满鲜花的花篮，而花却留给了你满脚的芬芳，这就是宽容，于是，我在本子上写下—— 我把狭隘抛在今天，我把宽容留给明天。（分论点二）

思绪纷飞，我又想到了尾山洪。这位执著的日本老人，十几年如一日，为了真理而战，为了正义而战！他搜集日军侵华的证据，狭隘的民族情感没有泯灭他的良知，困难也没有使他退却，他为的只是一生无愧于人的良知，无愧于正义！于是，我在本子上写下——我把错误抛在今天，我把真理留给明天！（分论点三）

今天，我抛弃了自私、脆弱、狭隘……，留给明天的是关爱、刚强、宽容……而实现今天到明天的摆渡，需要的只是一份信念，一份执著。我坚信：我拥有这份信念和执着！（05天津，命题作文：留给明天）

（三）并列记叙式：把几个故事并列成段，用第一人称和形象的语言进行描记叙。

结构模式：总起开头。

片断一：“我“与父母，同学，老师或朋友的第一个故事

片断二：“我“与父母，同学，老师或朋友的第二个故事

4

片断三：“我“与父母，同学，老师或朋友的第三个故事

结尾，或深化议论，感悟升华，回首线索。

范文：

芬香永存

那轻轻摇摆的柳絮像是您飘逸的长发；那闪闪的星星像是您明亮的眼睛；那天边的一抹红霞像是您温柔的唇；那霏霏的细雨像是女儿对妈妈您无尽的思念。

妈，您走后我变乖了。为了纪念您，我变得勤快多了，把屋子扫得干干净净；把物品放得整整齐齐；把家具擦得闪闪发亮。一切都像您从前为家里做的一样，就像您从未离开；以前您爱唠叨我乱放东西，说女孩子怎么会有这样的坏习惯，得改掉。每次我总是向您嘟起嘴巴，撒娇说有妈在我怕什么。您在世的时候怎么也没办法改掉这坏习惯，总爱依赖您，现在您走了，我居然就把这坏习惯改掉了，要是您看到我变得这么乖，该有多高兴啊，是吗，妈？我真的很希望您能听到，为了纪念您我改掉了。

妈，您走后我更关心妹妹了。为了纪念您，我对妹妹就像您从前待她那样温柔，我时常检查妹妹的作业、考勤情况等，您放心好了，妹妹也很听话，我们都长大了，不会像以前那样总爱发脾气，动不动就吵嘴惹您心烦，也许您不知道，连邻家的九大娘都四处夸我们两姐妹听话懂事，还说要她的二狗娃以我俩为榜样别再老跟他小弟打架。妈，您听到了吗？为了纪念您，我变得更像姐姐。

妈，您走后我就把头发留长了。为纪念您，从不留长发的我——您那假小子似的女儿决定把头发留长，留得长长的，像您当年一样。走在村里，他们都说这孩子越看越像她妈呀。妈，以前您总怪我把头发剪得那么短，说一点儿女孩子的味都没有，叫我把头发留长，我死活不肯，总说往后一点再说。现在我的头发长了，真的很长了，而妈妈您却不再在身边，您却看不到了。妈，我多想您能看到。为了纪念您，我把头发留长。

妈妈，您走了，整个世界都变得那么陌生，我无所适从。我开始独立，学会做各样的活儿。我把家布置得跟您生前一样，妈妈您知道吗，是为了更好地纪念您。您的音容笑貌，您的言谈举止早已深深地印在了女儿的心上。我愿意相信灵魂的存在，那样，妈妈您就会知道女儿用了这些特殊的方式来纪念您。

妈妈您对我的好就像芬香永存，女儿却只能做这些小事来纪念您，愿妈妈安息。

第三大类：对照式结构（互补严密美）

特点：文章主体由两个部分构成，两个部分构或正反对比，或转折补充，或辨正分析，论证严密全面。

范文：

让纪念闪耀理性光芒

纪念是内心情感的涌动，但又不是感情的无节制挥霍；纪念需要行动来升华，但又需要理性的引导。真正的纪念是心灵的回响，是历史的回音；它审视过去，启迪未来……

黑格尔曾经自夸德国人天生就是哲学家。然而就是这样一个天生严谨自律的民族，就在一个狂人的引诱下，陷入了战争的渊薮。60年前的那幕惨剧：生灵涂炭、妻离子散、血流成河……生者在对往者的审视中找到道德的标杆，也找到了纪念的理由。德国人用尽一切方法阻止时间淡褪那血色、稀薄那呼声：修建集中营纪念馆，全力处理战后的善后问题，还有那德国总理在犹太人纪念碑前的惊世一跪！德国人在60年里不断地反思，不停地纪念，终于完成了灵魂的自我救赎。德意志民族向世界展示了理性的力量，也赢得了世人的尊敬！

可见理性的纪念才是正确的纪念，理性让纪念闪耀出人性的光辉。

但纪念一旦脱离理性的制约，它就会变成不可控制的魔鬼。日本在60年前那幕惨剧中同样扮演了不光彩的角色，作为亚洲地区的主要刽子手，日本犯下的罪行罄竹难书。往者已矣，大和民族的纪念却是如此这般：右翼势力大肆鼓吹“中国威胁论”，还妄图为二战罪行翻案；不顾史实修订历史教科书，文过饰非，美化侵略罪行；更有首相一年一度的靖国神社“拜鬼”……日本这种偏离理性范畴的“纪念”活动，自然得到各国人民的一致谴责。有句话说得好：“跪着的德国人比站着的日本人更高大！”

中国在抗日战争中付出巨大的代价才取得胜利，中国人民自然无法容忍这种倒行逆施的行为。于是各地都掀起了声势壮大的抗议和纪念活动。但近来这些纪念活动在少数激进分子的鼓动下出现了打砸抢日货商店的不理智举动。群众爱国的赤子之心可以理解，但纪念并不是感情的挥霍，非理性举动无益于解决问题。我国领导人多次表达出严正立场，但同时并不关闭中日会晤的大门，“前事不忘，后事之师；以史为鉴，面向未来”无疑就是对过去痛苦最理性，也是最深刻的祭奠。

人不能忘本，“忘记过去意味着背叛”。而高贵的心灵在铭记苦难，咀嚼苦难过后，方能理智地纪念苦难。当纪念的洪波涌动时，勿忘用理性的“闸门”控制情感。（05，纪念）

第四大类：创新式议论文（思维睿智美）

特点：活化以上几种结构方式和写作方法，创造出形式新，内容新的议论文，方法主要有： ⑴采用第二人称，与一个或一组历史人物（现实人物，文学人物）对话的形式，来论说自己的观点；

⑵比喻派生式：标题以一个大的比喻托起全文，全文由这个大比喻派生出三个比喻性分论点。06届高三以”铸造人格”为话题的《装满人格的背囊》，<<铸造人格之剑》两文；

⑶对一个或一组历史人物（现实人物，文学人物），生活中的某一个或某些现象，发表视角新异，观点独到的看法。

范文：

铸造人格之剑

当我们欣赏一名男子时，往往是由于他有风度；当我们赞美一位女性时，也往往是由于她有气质.而这气质这风度这精神这魅力则是人格的体现。

孟子曰： “吾善养吾浩然之气也。”那我们又应养怎样的气，铸造怎样的人格呢?且让我们从人格的熔炉中抽出这三柄响绝古今的宝剑吧！

第一把，剑名，旷达。铸造者，苏轼。

王国维在人间词话中说： “东坡之词旷。”的确，人如其词。在大“江东去浪淘尽中”我们领略到他的豪放洒脱；从赤壁赋中关于水与月的那段精辟的妙论，我们感受到他的达观向上。

一封朝奏，夕贬黄州。仕途的失意，并没有磨掉他的才与气，反而铸造了一篇篇留传千古的词赋，铸造了他旷达的人格。

第二柄，剑曰，超脱。铸造者，庄子。

我只是浊水中一尾陋鱼而已。庄子自嘲着。其实，你不知比水中的鱼鳖虾好多少了。天马行空，无拘无束，自由自在，浮游于尘埃之外，不获世之滋垢，这仿佛是你的代名词。

7

不，这些都不足以形容你。放着高官厚禄不要，过着衣食无所的生活，是因为你有你的信念与执着。

于是，你的人格之剑，铸成了。

第三柄，剑曰，是一把巨阙，上面刻着，高尚。铸造者，古往今来无数仁人志士。

是谁，离开繁华的长安，而独“留青冢向黄昏”?是谁，威武不屈，死不变节， “一片丹心照汗青”？

又是谁，茅屋为秋风所破，却在担忧“安得广厦千万间”……

王昭君，文天祥，杜子美……青史上一个个沉重的名字下，有着一颗高尚的心灵。

烟随风逝，名随史留。他们的人格铸造了高尚，高尚成就了他们。

旷达，或许我们难以继承；超脱，或许我们难以办到；高尚，或许我们难以企及。但是，我们却可以以它们为模子，打造出属于自己的人格之剑！

高考是一件知识、能力和技巧的考试，每一题在很短的时间内得到定局的分数，所以，我们需要学会在短时间内有效地展示自己，让评卷老师欣赏自己，就得“简洁”、“明了”、“好”！

祝你有所获，快乐如愿！

第二篇：高考38套]作文范文(1)

高考38套]作文范文(1)

1. Dear Tom,

It’s great to receive your email. Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing-up ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown-ups we should have a sense of duty for our society form now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember the day in my life. Yours,

Li Hua

2. Monday May 18, 2002 Fine

This morning our teacher told us something about the Hope Project in class. She said, “Now in the countryside many children still can’t go to school because of poverty. Can you help them?”

After school, I went home. When I entered my room, I saw the little box in which I keep my pocket money. Though I wanted to buy a pocket recorder, I decided to send my money to the children who are eager to go to school. I began to write a letter to them at once. After finishing writing it, I went to the post office and posted all my pocket money with the letter together.

I felt very happy today because I’ve done a good deed.

3.

Last Sunday my classmates, Lin Tao, and I went to the bookstore. At a counter we noticed a foreigner was asking a man for help, but the man didn’t know a word of English. So we went up to him and offered help. After knowing what he really wanted, we took him to the counter where tapes and disks of Chinese folk music are sold and gave him some advice on which to choose. With our help, the foreign guest got some music tapes. He gave his hearty thanks to us and left.

Though it took us some time to help him, we were happy anyway.

4. Yesterday I paid a visit to a model high school, together with my friend. It’s very big with a beautiful fountain in the center of the schoolyard.

We started our visit from the main building. First we went to the lab building where some students were doing experiments. Then we entered the lecture hall behind the lab building and saw many students listening to a lecture given by a professor. Opposite to the lecture hall was the art center. There we watched groups of students playing musical instruments. Finally we arrived at the playground at the far back of the school. Some boys were having a football game, which was so exciting that we couldn’t help cheering for them.

It was really an impressive visit.

5. An Announcement

Boys and girls,

May I have (take) your attention, please. There will be a lecture at half past three on Friday afternoon. It’s about “Information and English Study”. And it will be given by Mr Li Ping who is a famous teacher from the English Department. There’s sure to be something instructive and interesting. We can get more information from it, I think. And it will improve our English studies to a new stage. Anyone who wants to attend it can come to Room 206. Take notes and have a discussion after it. Please come here on time.

That’s all.

6. May I have your attention, please?

As you know, our class will have a talk show on environment protection with Class One on May 4th. Before it takes place, we will invite Dr. Lil from Qinghua University to give us a talk on the environment problem and he will also tell us about the improvement in environment protection in recent years in Beijing.

The report will begin at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 30th in the auditorium on the third floor in the classroom building. I’m sure we can get enough information from his talk to make good preparations for the coming talk show. Everyone should be there on time, then listen to the report and make full notes at the same time.

By the way, we will have a discussion after the report.

That’s all. Thank you.

7. In my opinion, you are never too young to do things. For example, Tara Lipinski, the American ice skater, won an Olympic gold metal when she was fifteen. Pele, the great Brazilian soccer player, became a professional soccer star the same age as Tara Lipinski. And Mei Lanfang, a famous Chinese opera singer, first performed Beijing Opera when he was ten. Another example is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who started writing music at four. There are still more examples. Shirley Temple was a movie star at the age of three and Tiger Woods starts golfing when he was only ten months old!

8. Advertisements appear everywhere in the modern society. When we walk along the street. We can see large advertisement boards with pretty girls smiling at you. In newspapers, we often see half of the pages covered with advertisements. We turn on the TV set and we see advertisements again. Whether we like it or not, they are getting their way into our life.

Advertisements help us choose what we need and then we spend our money on it. They also guide us in finding suitable jobs. However, too many advertisements annoy us. And quite often, they give us false information.

9. April 13, Sunday Fine

Spring has come. Early in the morning, I went to Xiangshan Park for sightseeing with my parents. While walking around the park, we couldn’t help admiring the beauty of nature. Of course we took a lot of pictures.

However, I was quite disappointed to find some bad behaviour. Some people littered anywhere as they liked. Some even climbed up the trees and picked flowers. Although there were some signs warning people not to touch the lawn, still some people enjoyed themselves there.

I hope that such bad behaviour will soon be got rid of and everybody will protect the environment.

10. Dear Mary,

I’m glad to receive your letter again. You want to know something about what is going on in our school. In short, great changes have taken place since our school began to carry out the research-based learning.

In the past, the teachers almost took up all the period, writing on the blackboard, explaining the points, and answering the questions raised by themselves. We students are the slaves of study. But now, we’ve taken up most of the period, discussing the questions raised by the teachers or ourselves, exchanging our ideas, or solving the problems. We are now the masters of study.

After class, we enjoy different kinds of activities instead of doing endless homework. We go to the library to read books, have sports on the playground and surf the Internet for various kinds of information.

How happy we are now. Welcome to our school.

Best wishes.

Yours truly,

Wang Ping

11. Nowadays, it is usual for students to find part-time jobs. This winter vacation, I worked as a waiter at a McDonald’s. It was the first time that I had earned money by myself. With the money I could buy something I needed. I was quite excited about it.

Now, as a result of a part-time job, I needn’t ask my parents for money as before. I think it’s helpful for a student to know about the outside world and I also think that will help me to make preparations for the future job. I not only understand the value of money, but also know how to get along with others. In a word, I had a fruitful vacation.

12. Dear Editor,

I’m writing to tell you about our discussion we had on the afternoon of last Wednesday about the good and bad sides of setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival. 20 boy and 20 girl students attended the discussion. As a result, 40% of them believe that setting off firecrackers certainly adds pleasure and joy to the festival. Therefore, it is a wonderful tradition. But another 40% of the students think that setting off firecrackers causes air and noise pollution, and what’s more, it sometimes causes terrible accidents to us and to our property. The other 20 % have never thought about it or don’t care a bit. In my opinion, ……

Yours truly,

Li Hua

13. Pollution

A chemical factory lies near my home. The manager was criticized by the government because the pollution had harmed people’s health, but he paid no attention. Then the factory was forced to stop production and the manager said angrily, “ Is there any fact that we have harmed people’s health? In fact, we haven’t.” Just then, a doctor came, with the result of the medical exam of the manager, saying the manager was suffering a lung cancer. It is very clear that the population has harmed not only to people’s health but also the manager himself. He was realized the importance of keeping air clean.

14. Fire causes

Fire, one of the most terrible killers in out modern society, is mainly caused by smokers, as can be seen from the graph.

In 2002, thousands of fires happened in China. About 50% of them were caused by smokers who left cigarette-ends everywhere. 30% were caused by defective insulation and 20% by children playing with matches. No matter what type of the fire was, there was one thing in common: carelessness.

We should warn children of the dangers of playing with matches. Workers should know the importance of good insulation to people’s lives. Smoking should not be in public places.

15.

Hi, Jason,

You asked me about Yao Ming. Here is something I got when I searched the websites at home.

Yao Ming, who is now 2.26 metres tall and 134kg in weight, was born in Shanghai on the 12th of September,1980. It is said he likes meat most and his favourite colour is blue. The man he respects most is late Premier Zhou Enlai and the one he believes in most is himself.

He joined Shanghai basketball team in 1997 and became a member of China national team Shanghai won the champion of CBA and he was among the top players in the team. In the same year he went to the US and became Numb

er One Overall in the NBA draft, which helped him join Houston Rockets. After many matches as well as struggles he now feels a little tired. Up to now he says he still hasn’t got any further definite plan.

16. Dear Mr. Headmaster,

I am writing this letter to tell you something about our canteen.

There are many kinds of food in our canteen, and generally they are cheap. Some food is delicious. The dining environment has been improved, with the walls painted and some pictures posted up. The students are satisfied with the new look.

But students are not given a proper helping of every dish. Also, as the number of the students continues to increase, there is not enough space for us to have meals there. As a result, many of us go out to have meals.

All in all, there is still much room for improvement in food quality and service.

Best regards,

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

17. Students Like Optional Courses

This term our school had offered more than 10 optional courses, from which students can choose. The courses are given from 3:30 to 5:00 every Tuesday afternoon.

Students take great interest in the optional courses. Their favourites are computer, spoken English, arts and so on. They say they have got a great deal of practice and they have learned a lot that is not taught in textbooks. However, students hope more optional courses will be offered while their homework should be reduced. They suggest more trips and visits should be organized so that they can learn more about what is going on outside school.

18.

About the discussion we’ve had about whether China should devote major efforts to developing car industry, opinions are divided on the question.

60% of the students think China should fully develop car industry. They believe this will speed up the development of the national economy. More workers will be employed. With cars the people’s life quality will be raised. They will save time and be more convenient in their life and work.

On the other hand, 40% of them think China should control its car industry development. Otherwise, the city traffic will be even heavier and more traffic accidents will take place. At the same time, more land will be used for the new roads. What is more, air and noise pollution will become more serious.

19.

Attention, please! I’m going to give you a summary of today’s discussion about whether we would go online in our spare time.

Most students think they (we) can go online as much as possible in our spare time because we are free then. Through the Internet, they can gain plenty of the newest knowledge and the latest news at home and abroad. What’s more, network offers them(us) a convenient way to communicate with each other. The Internet makes their lives outside class colourful and various.

On the other hand, a few students partly agree to this idea. Going online is part of our daily life. They suggest a time limit. They’ve found that more students are playing computer games instead of studying their lessons. There’re few students who are often absent from school for days.

20. Dear Tom,

I felt terribly sorry to learn that both your parents had been killed in the September 11th Incident. In this incident the World Trade Centre, which used to be one of the tallest buildings in the world, was completely destroyed and thousands of people lost their lives. I’m very angry about the terrorist activities.

We are against all forms of terrorist activities and support the war against the terrorism.

Don’t be too sad. Don’t lose heart. After all, the majority of the people in the world love peace. I hope you can recover from the sadness as soon as possible. Be sure to take good care of yourself.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Xiao Fang

21. Ladies and gentlemen,

Yesterday our teacher of English asked me to say something about pollution. Now, I give you my views on this vital question.

As a matter of fact, the effects of industrial pollution are well known to everyone --- polluted air, polluted water and polluted earth. Though a great deal is already being done to control these effects, the problem of pollution is still serious. Continued population increase, smog and chemical waste produced by factories and cars, not only threatens to exhaust our resources, but also pollutes our environment. We do need clean air, safe water and our children’s health.

In my opinion, to solve the problem of pollution, everyone must refrain from polluting our environment. We should know that this is the duty of every individual, not that the government alone.

Last week, we did research into how laid-off workers get their new jobs. We had a discussion in three groups and then began our research separately.

Group One surfed on the Internet and learned that most of the laid-off workers had already got their new jobs. In the vocational training center, the students in Group Two were told that there were five training courses for laid-off workers. After training, they began working as repairers, cooks, typists, household workers and salespersons. The other students interviewed some laid-off workers who had got new jobs. A woman said, “With the help of the city government, I’ve found my job. …”

What a great deal we’ve learned through the research.

23. The Way to Keep Healthy

It’s very important for us to keep healthy in our everyday life. But how? Here is some advice for you to follow. First you should have a healthy diet. It’s a necessary to eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables, because they contain all kinds of vitamin that you need every day. But do not eat too much fat, such as cheese, butter or anything too fatty. Too many sweets can do harm to your teeth. So you had better not eat too many sweets or chocolates and keep off coffee.

Good habits can help you keep fit. Doing regular exercise is certainly a good way to ensure your body is healthy. After a day’s work, an eight-hour sleep is needed. And avoid working too hard. Remember smoking can damage your health, so never smoke.

24. In today’s society, competition and cooperation are equally important. People are cooperators in their life. They share information, natural resources, human resources and many other things. Cooperation is the way to a happy life. At the same time they are competitors. In competition, they learn from their opponents, gain courage and confidence. Without competition, science and technology would not have been developed so rapidly. And without cooperation, the world would be quite different. Cooperation and competition are like two sides of a person. They can’t be separated.

Dear Smith,

How nice to hear from you again. You want to know something about the Listening Part in our English Paper for the Entrance Examination of Colleges. I’d like to give you a brief introduction about it here. There are two sections in this part.

The first one includes 5 short dialogues. We can hear each for once and then choose one out of the three answers to a question about the dialogue. The question and possible answers are on the paper.

In Section 2 there are 5 long conversations or monologues, each of which may be heard twice with 2 to 4 questions raised about it.

The whole part, which mainly tests our understanding of spoken English, lasts about 20 minutes. We tick the answers on the paper first and then copy them on the answer sheet by blackening the small brackets with A, B, or C with a 2B pencil.

Best wishes.

One day, a little girl fell down onto the ground. At this time, the boy went over and wanted to help her up, but his mother stopped him and said, “ Don’t do that , otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down.” Another day the mother was surprised to see that her son just let the fallen oil bottle be. And the son said to his mother. “ If I had straightened up the bottle, you would have thought you did it.”

I disagree with what the mother did in the picture. I think that parents should let children know it is a pleasure to help others who are in trouble. We live in the society, which is a big family for all of us. We should care for and help each other.

How to Get Rid of the Pollution of the River

Our school has formed a group of “How to get rid of the pollution of the river”. Now I would like to give our suggestions of dealing with the subject.

First, we should make some investigation, turn to our teachers for help and consult some experts. We may as well go to the Internet to collect some information.

Second, we should hand in a report on the river pollution and express our opinions to the public.

Third, we should, in groups, clean up the waste things on the river during the holidays, try to plant some young trees along the river and set up some bulletion boards to warn people of protecting the surroundings.

With these done, I think the pollution of the river will be reduced. Meanwhile, we can benefit a lot from these activities.

Xiao Mao is a primary school student and he enjoys drawing very much.

One day he went to the small woods not far from town to draw from nature, carrying a drawing board. He was glad to find a tree living although the rest had been cut down. “ Let me start work at once.” He thought and began to set up his board.

Just then a strong young man came with a big axe and got down to cutting the tree. Soon he cut it down and pulled it away.

When Xiao Mao got ready and turned back to draw, he found the tree had disappeared.

“Dear me! Where on earth is the tree?” Xiao Mao wondered, very disappointedly.
