Should Science and Arts Education Be Separated?
The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads throughout the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes.
【参考范文】
Sample 1
•         The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads throughout the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes.
•         About 50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high school. In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge, and with the development of modern society , multi-skilled people are in great demand.
•         However,40% of them insist that they should be separated so that students
can concentrate on some subjects and become experts. Besides, they will not be overburdened as before.
•           As far as I’m concerned, a comprehensive education is better than a separated one. A strong ability in both science and arts is helpful for the long-term development of individuals and society as a whole, worldwide, and only in China science and arts are separated, which has had a bad effect on students’ sound development. It is high time we changed this model. I don’t think comprehensive education will put a heavy burden on the students.
Sample 2
•         Everything has two sides and whether separating science and arts education or not is no exception.
•           From the table, we can see that half of the people approve of separating science and arts education. They hold the opinion that only in this way can talents be developed. In addition, the more lessons students have, the more knowledge they learn. On no account should society put students far away from being mixed talents.
•         However, there are also 43% of the people who have distinct opinions. They object to separating science and arts education because it can  reduce students’ stress so that they can pay more attention to their subjects. What’s more, nowadays students with special abilities are needed more.
•         From what has been discussed above, we can safely arrive at the conclusion that education is of great importance. So far as I’m concerned, only by developing ourselves gradually can we make room for ourselves the rapidly-developing society.
Sample 3
•         There are approximately 50% people in favor of not separating science and arts education. They assert that it is an essential way to develop the talented people. Furthermore, various kinds of courses could develop students with comprehensive abilities.
•         On the contrary, however, the figure of opponents constitute 43%. They consider that separating science and arts education is beneficial to releasing students’ stress. Moreover, it is well-known that the contemporary society has a huge demand of particular talented people. In order to meet  society’s demand, it is necessary to separate science and arts education.
•         From my perspective, it is unwise to separate science and arts education. After all, students need to learn different subjects to enhance their knowledge and increase their experience. Hence, they could have real talents and make great contributions to the society in the future.
Sample 4
•         43% of people support that it is important to separate science and arts education. They claim that we can cultivate talented students via this necessary method. Separating science and arts has an irreplaceable effect on developing students’ comprehensive abilities and interest so that they can make more vital contributions to society.
•           On the contrary, 50% of citizens put their own opinions against the idea of separating science and arts education. Meanwhile, it can provide talented students with the requirements of society in particular fields.
•           From my perspective, offering alternative choices for students is important both in developing students’ interest and ensuring the quality-oriented education. We need to respect students, own national plan if they are well prepared for the future.
Sample 5
•         43% of the people consider that separating science and arts education is a vital way to develop the aptitude of students, which can make them well prepared for the fierce competition . Also, students are more likely to broaden their horizons by learning arts and science.
•         Contrary to this, 50% of the opponents object to this issue. They insist that teen-agers are suffering from too much pressure so their burden should be removed. Furthermore, the contemporary society is in great need of professional talents who are devoted to one certain subject.
•            From my perspective, I believe science and arts education shouldn’t be separated. Both arts and science play a significant role in improving our knowledge levels. Science makes us wise while arts makes us cultivated. As long as we keep a balance between arts and science study, we are bound to find knowledge is so colorful.

Fast food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.
There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. Second, you can either eat it there or take it away. Third, the environment of fast food restaurants is both clean and comfortable. However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It is usually not a balanced diet and low in nutritional value.
Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. It’s good for people, especially children, to eat fast food as little as possible.

【参考范文】
Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular in China. As is said, there are more than 500  million mobile users in our country. Sometimes you can even see students using them.
Mobile phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important is that they are convenient. If there is a sudden accident at school, It is much quicker for us to dial for help.
However, mobile phones can also bring people problems. The most serious is the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users’ brain. Another problem is the when we are having a lesson, the ring of the mobile phone may interrupt us. Last but not the least, students may spend a lot of time playing games in the mobile phone as well as sending short messages.
In my opinion, because there are more disadvantages than advantages, it is not necessary for us students to carry a mobile phone at school.

_______________________________________________________________________________【参考范文】
In June, 2009, the Education Department of Hubei Province made a decision that giving lessons during the summer vacation and weekends should be banned.
I think it quite correct. This is an important measure for the quality-oriented education. As is well known to all, in order to raise the number of students to meet the required score in gaokao, almost all high schools gave lessons during the holidays. We students suffered a lot both physically and mentally.
However, my parents felt worried, and they complained, “Now that the present system of the college entrance exam hasn’t changed, can you cope with the fierce competition without extra lessons and enough exercise?”
Believe it or not, no summer vacation has been so meaningful to me as that of this year. Every day, I spent several hours going over my lessons. I also had time to relax and enjoy my hobbies. I went swimming, watched interesting programs on TV, did some reading and met my friends. In addition, I participated in community work and this has raised my awareness of public service. I really enjoyed my vacation.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Nowadays, SMS interaction has become a major part of various programs. Recently, there has been a fierce argument over the issue among the netizens. Opinions are divided as follows.
The defenders consider it a good way for us to take part in the program, while the critics hold the opinion that it is just another way for the TV stations to make more money. As for me, frankly speaking, I stick to the former.
In the first place, seldom does everyone have the opportunity to watch the live show. Therefore, via sending short messages, people can really take an active part in the program rather than just passively watch it, which allows them to support their favorite performers as well as comment on them. Additionally, being cheap, sending short messages is affordable to the average person. What’s more, the rules of many live competitions have been changed due to the participation of the audience by sending messages. For instance, the final result of some programs are no longer only determined by the judges but also by the audience..
In conclusion, SMS interaction has largely changed the way people enjoy TV programs. However, it is indisputable that there do exist some drawbacks that need further improvement. Anyway, whichever way it chooses, it should serve the fundamental purpose of the programs—to reach a large audience and entertain us.

阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇 150 词左右的英文短文。
Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youths fill internet cafes, switches on a game console (游戏机), or sit down to enter fantasy worlds. I’m talking about video games. These games can be fun and exciting, but we need to look out when this pastime becomes an addiction.
Video games can also be a bad effect on younger children who may be watching. Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill other players. This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to deal with situations maturely(成熟地). Even if we do need to sit down and play a violent video game, we need to make sure that it is not affect the younger people around us.
Playing a computer game in our spare time is not a bad thing. Games can be a great way to relax after studying, or to improve our creativity. However, games should not become the focus of our life. We cannot be addicted to them. Meanwhile we must learn to control ourselves and spend our time more wisely.
写作内容：
1)概括短文的内容要点，该部分大约 30 个词左右；
2)就 “青少年该不该玩电子游戏” 这个主题发表你的看法，至少包括以下内容要点，  该部分字数大约 120 个词左右。
a)电子游戏有何优点和缺点；
b)老师、家长如何看待电子游戏；
c)你的看法如何？

你可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。
评分标准：
概括的准确性、语言的规范性、内容合适性以及篇章的连贯性。
【参考范文】
Video games, which the youth like very much, can make us relaxed or even help our creativity, but getting addicted to them can have bad effects.
On one hand, video games, as a kind of exciting entertainment, can make us get relaxed after long-time studying and can practise our ability of fast thinking and responding. On the other hand, the exciting games always get youth lost in them. Then, the young students would pay more attention to playing virtual games instead of focusing on study, which without doubt will ruin their future. Given this, our teachers and parents are strongly against playing video games, which often unexpectedly have opposite effect. Therefore, I think our teachers and parents should allow us to play some video games under the instructions on the basis that it’s not in the way of studying.

Do We Need to Fear the Popularity of Christmas?
Nowadays Christmas Day is becoming more and more popular with Chinese youngsters. They celebrate and enjoy it in various ways. Meanwhile they don’t know and don’t care much about the traditional Chinese festivals. Some people are worrying that the increasing popularity of Christmas might take people's attention away from traditional festivals in China. As far as I’m concerned, there is no need to have fears over culture expansion. Youngsters are interested in new things, but it doesn't mean they are turning their backs on Chinese traditional culture.
However, we should stay cool while celebrating western festivals. We should bear in mind the cultural values of celebrating our own traditional festivals, for if we let our traditions disappear, there will be a cultural gap, which Western values may fill. (128 words)

Though there are more than 40 or even 50 students in a class, in most cases. Teachers cannot take care of all the students in the class, but it is certainly a waste of money for many students to attend spare time classes or even go to the tutors to make up for this because you have to depend on yourself. It is very helpful for you listen attentively in class and go over your lessons in time after school.
In one word, spending extra money on education is certainly not as rewarding as you expect.

【参考范文】
In recent years more and more parents have intended their children to choose famous universities like Tsinghua University and Beijing University. Some high school graduates are willing to go on taking the college entrance examinations until they achieve their goal.
I don’t think it wiser for every student to apply for Tsinghua University and Beijing University because the number of students admitted to the two famous universities is limited every year. The more students apply for them, the fiercer the competition will grow.
In my opinion, there are many good universities we can choose from. As long as it offers the major you are interested in, it suits you best.

1．高中部学生近视率达到45.2%。

A recent survey in our school shows that more and more students have become near-sighted. The survey says that 45.2 percent of senior students are near-sighted. It also says that 35% of Junior Three students are near-sighted, but it was only 23% when they were in Junior One.
I think the main causes are as follows. First, we have to do many lessons, especially in Junior Three and Senior Three. Second, some of us spend too much time in front of the computer. Furthermore, some students often read lying in bed or in dim light.
We must form good reading habits, spend less time in front of the computer, and arrange time for our lessons scientifically. In a word, we must let our eyes have a rest during work from time to time.

Friends, Similar or Different?
Almost everyone in the world has friends. Friends are found anywhere, at anytime. Some of our friends can be similar to us, and some of them can differ in many ways. Regardless of their similarities or differences, there are a few advantages of having such friends.
Having friends who are similar to us can be beneficial, in that we can enjoy things together, such as going to clubs or to the movies. In addition, having such friends can provide us with a companion to share our opinions.
However, having friends who are different from us would have some advantages of its own.
They are able to introduce us to new and different things; hence, we’re provided unexpected experiences in life. Furthermore, they could provide us with a different view on a certain matter.
As for me, I prefer to choose friends similar to myself. I feel that friendship between us will be smoother and more enjoyable. However, I never refuse a friendship offered by a friend who is different from me.

1.       这个校规很荒唐。它并不会真正阻止学生谈恋爱。学校家长如果干涉过多，反而会适得其反。
2.       新校规会让男女生交往时不自然，造成不必要的紧张，这种紧张甚至会影响将来的社交生活。

A school in Guangxi province has recently made a new school rule which forbids boys and girls talking alone in the classroom or corridor. Our class had a heated discussion.
_____________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
A school in Guangxi province has recently made a new school rule which forbids boys and girls talking alone in the classroom or corridor. Our class had a heated discussion.
Some of my classmates think the rule is necessary because they think as students, we should focus our attention on study instead of wasting time hanging out with a boy or girl. This shows our school is responsible for us students. Moreover, as teenagers we are not mature enough to control ourselves. If a boy and a girl are too close, they may make silly mistakes which they will regret later.
On the other hand, a lot of other students don’t agree. In their opinion, the new school rule sounds absurd. It can’t really prevent boys and girls falling in love with each other. Instead, it may encourage them to be closer than before. Besides, the new rule may make boys and girls feel unnatural when socializing with each other. It will probably create nervousness which may even affect their future social life.
Personally, I don’t think it’s a good rule. I believe our school should help us students learn to deal with the relationship between boys and girls in a proper way rather than make these strict rules. Only in this way can we fit in society very well when we grow up.

Time seems to speed up as soon as the students step into their final and vital year．The college entrance examination is approaching day by day．Quite a few students have moved out from their dormitories to live in a rented room near the school to make every minute count．
It cannot be denied that they have their own time schedule after classes and easily concentrate on lessons alone in their small room．What’s important，with their morns taking care of them，they can spare more time for studies．However，there exist some disadvantages．For example，sometimes their minds go wandering easily without competitors round．Furthermore，a student who is left alone to study at rather an easy atmosphere tends to get distracted or even feel tired easily．
In spite of the fact that the dorm life is full of fun and friendship，noisy songs and shouts in the dorms after evening classes only quiet down long after the blackout at 10：30 p. m.，leading to a serious lack of sleep，I think．Worse still，they don’t make fullest use of time to study so，from my perspective．I prefer to live in the rented room.

With the development of our society, more and more private cars stream onto the road, which brings a big problem to our city. So shall the car drivers be charged congestion fee?
Some think it’s necessary to change the driver．It will be an effective way to control the number of private cars，which creates the traffic jams and air pollution we all suffer from．If they don't want to pay, they can take public transport instead．What's more, the money raised by the charge can be used to improve public transportation．
However, others against it, They hold the view that people drive because they have to, of various reasons, And they have paid a lot for their cars: higher oil price, taxes, fees , Government should try to find another way to solve the problem , Besides, The congestion charging will damage the economy as shoppers may desert centers, As a result will lose lots of money,
In my opinion , It will be an unfair burden for car-owners who already pay various taxes and fees, But I do hope the government can improve the public transportation first, if they found it convenient to go out with the help of public transportation they will surely have a better choice.

Should the system be changed?
In response to the proposal of cancelling the merit students selection, people’s opinions differ.
Some people think that with the increasingly fierce competition, more and more talented youths are needed. Only one single standard for judging good students may discourage the students from growing in different ways. It is also against the advocating of pioneering spirit. Others, however, say adolescents can’t grow up without models, and merit students represent diligence and adolescents excellence. To the students’ academic excellence comes first.
In my view, times are different and the criteria should be changed to a degree because the job market demands large numbers of personnel with practical ability and skills. As a standard, it will encourage students to explore their potentials and develop their ability to think and solve problems independently, which is the basis of education.

Some people are in favor of the policy. They think it is reasonable and fair to carry out
the policy, because the more the oil consumption, the more money the drivers pay, which can avoid the unnecessary driving They also think when the policy will help to reduce air pollution and benefit environment. In their opinion, fuel tax can raise the awareness of using oil efficiently.
However, others are against it. For one thing, they think China is a developing country,
so we can't do as the developed countries do. For another, the new fuel policy may increase the fuel price. Drivers will pay higher fuel consumption taxes and may be overburdened. Also, they hold the opinion that the new policy may cause more unemployment. As a result, there might be some other social problems.

Building a Good Teacher-student Relationship
A good teacher- student relationship is one of the guarantees for successful teaching and learning. A good relationship leads to fruitful cooperation, that is, the teacher can guide his/her students more effectively and the students can learn more efficiently.
From my personal experience I conclude that an ideal teacher- student relationship depends on the common efforts. For example, we have developed a warm, friendly relationship with our English teacher. We admire her for the special efforts she poured into our class. Her lectures are always well prepared and delivered clearly. We also admire the fact that she spends time generously with us students after class. Inspired by her devotion, we study all the more diligently.
Of course, misunderstanding may occur once in a while. In this case, I think, both sides should be kind, patient and frank. By sitting down and having a good talk we can work out any trouble.

Generation Gap
Nowadays there is often a lack of understanding between parents and children. This is called generation gap. Many parents say that their children are behaving unreasonably. Many a child complains that they can’t communicate with their parents. Their parents are unwilling to accept anything new.
I think the lack of communication between parents and children is the most obvious reason. As they grew up at different times, they have many different likes and dislikes. Besides, both of them are so busy with their work or study that they don’t spare enough time to exchange ideas. Therefore, misunderstanding arises between them.
To understand each other better, both parents and children need to make efforts. They should often communicate with each other and spend more time talking with each other. Only in this way will they bridge the generation gap.

As far as I am concerned，the elementary pupils’ career outlook is really exciting. It’s cool to be our own boss and do whatever we want to. But the outlook of high school students is more reasonable and practical，as it is difficult to start a career from scratch.
I’ve been dreaming of becoming an excellent doctor after graduating from university. With people’s awareness of healthy life raised, doctors are playing a more important part and among the highly-paid people in society. More importantly, doctors can help the sick get rid of pain and suffering or even give them a second life. I can't imagine how great I will feel when seeing a patient recover from the illness and live happily again with my help.
Now what I should do is to study hard to make sure I can enter a famous medicine university, where I can get the required knowledge and skills to be a good doctor.

An Argument
I am a Senior 3 student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3, heavily burdened with their studies, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV.  It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t accept her ideas. I think it is relaxing to watch TV after a day’s hard work. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but it can broaden my horizons. In addition, we can be kept well informed of what’s happening at home and abroad and keep up with the times.
Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news and programs of entertainment, sports or science.

Should Yuanmingyuan Be Rebuilt?
Yuanmingyuan. “Garden Of all gardens”, was burnt down in l860. Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.
Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing 50 can we see the original sight of the garden, which no wonder reflects the Chinese civilization. And it will be another place of interest for tourists. If partly rebuilt, it will provide a comparison and help us remember the history.
Those who disagree think it more reasonable to keep the garden like this. The ruins will remind us of the past. We should never forget the history. Other buildings like Palace Museum and Summer Palace can also be symbols of the Chinese culture, so it is not necessary to rebuild this garden. Some also worry that the environment will be destroyed when the construction goes on in this district.
So you see, opinions vary and it’s hard to say which is right and which is not.

How to reduce the students' burden has always been a hot topic. The educational department
of a city has launched strict rules to ban classes on weekends, which has aroused heated
discussions among students’ parents.
Some of the parents are strongly in favor of this decision. They think that after they have
stayed at school the whole week, they should have free time to get relaxed. Besides, free weekends help to fill in the gaps between generations and guarantee the time for the family member to have fun together. On the other hand, some other parents don't think so. They hold the view that schools are supposed to have classes on weekends. In their opinion, if the students are given more free time on weekends, they will not concentrate on their studies. Some of the students might even fall into bad habits.
In my opinion, middle school students should be given more free time. Studying lessons at school is not the only goal of our 1ife. It is also important to put what we learn at school into practice. Furthermore, youngsters often have their good hobbies and interests. It is necessary to have enough time to develop them.

Family plays a significant role in shaping children’s character because it’s children’s most direct source of knowledge and experiences. Those who are brought up in good families tend to possess many pleasant characters and vice versa.
On the other hand, friends in some ways influence him more rapidly than families do. Friends have many different opinions and personalities. Discussing with them builds up his personality. Frankly speaking, I get lots of valuable things from my friends.
Family offers me warmth and care. Friends give me strength and horizons. Therefore, both of them are most influential in my growth

A survey about the relationship between students and teachers．family members or classmates is being made by a research study group of our school． Generally speaking，we are getting on well with each other．However，there exist some problems．Some students are easy to lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden．What’s worse．they sometimes quarrel with others．and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers．which is very disappointing．
In my opinion, we middle school students should make our efforts to improve the situation. First, we should respect our parents and teachers as well as well as our classmates. Second, when we are not feeling good/happy, we can chat with our friends or teachers or even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice.

Nowadays more and more students use dictionaries as study aids. Some think that it is better to use the printed dictionary. They consider that it has more entries which are complete and detailed，while the e-dictionary offers limited information.
However, some others hold the opposite view. They think that an e-dictionary is smart and cool to use as well as time-saving. Meanwhile, it has many other practical functions. But a printed dictionary is not so convenient to carry.
Personally, I prefer the printed dictionary because it has many advantages. First, it provides more entries. Besides, the definitions are followed by more examples，which makes it easier for us to understand. Most important of all, it provides enough contexts for us to develop a good sense of language and to improve our writing. (116 w)

Such programs are available for everyone and can provide systematic and regular learning. The second way is to study by oneself. You can learn whatever you need for your work on your own.

Dear editor,
I’m Li Hua, a student of Yu Ying Middle School. My schoolmates and I had a few sleepless nights since the terrible earthquake happened in Sichuan Province.
Shocked by the great loss and concerned about the rescue work in the striken area, we watched through our tears the news report every evening. Without hesitation, we donated all the pocket money we had and then on the weekend we took to the street to sell newspapers so as to collect more. Some schoolmates even couldn’t help writing to newspapers and the Internet to express their grief. Later, on May 19, teachers and students in our school, together with people all over the country, observed three minutes’ silence to mourn over the victims. At the very moment I realized a truth : Brave, strong and united, we Chinese will never give in to any disaster and we are sure to rebuild our hometown and regain our happiness!

Our city is attaching great importance to dealing with the problem. For example, rubbish is sorted and sent to different places so that it can be treated differently. Some rubbish, such as paper and glass, is recycled, while harmful rubbish is buried deep to avoid environmental pollution. Waste water is made clean before it is poured into rivers. Besides, the government has passed laws to prevent people from throwing rubbish wherever they like.
As members of our society, we should have a strong sense of environmental protection and do whatever we can to fight against pollution.

【参考范文】
Recently, a “Free Hugs” campaign, which hit the streets of Beijing, Changsha and Shanghai,
has received both support and criticism.
Some think that free hugs will bring people closer and make the world more like a big family. Meanwhile, hugging and caring for strangers may remove the coldness of human relations in big cities. What’s more, it can be a step to harmony.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think hugging is a foreign tradition. Most Chinese are not accustomed to this and they may get either uninterested or embarrassed. So we shouldn’t merely copy Western things without considering Chinese traditions and customs. We can find other ways to help society.
Personally, I agree with the first view. Too often, we ignore the power of a touch, a listening ear, or the smallest act of kindness. If you embrace your parents when you go home, or embrace your friends when they feel unhappy, things will be quite different.

Nowadays, some of us students have formed some bad habits on campus. For example, some students leave the lights on in the daytime, or let water running after washing. Some leave over much food on the table after eating. Besides, waste paper can be seen everywhere.
It is well know that these bad habits will have a bad influence on our character and behavior. What’s worse, they can not only increase our cost at school and add financial burden to our parents, but also waste the limited resources.
So to build a resources-saving campus it is high time that we had to deal with the problems. In my opinion, we should start with ourselves to save everything. I'd like to remind my classmates to take the lead in reducing the waste. We must form some good habits. For example, when we brush our teeth and wash hands, never leave water running unnecessarily and when we leave classrooms, we should make sure that the lights have been turned off.

Do "Lucky Numbers" Really Bring Good Luck?
Some people think certain numbers may bring good luck to them. These numbers include "6,8,9" and so on. Therefore, when they want to choose a car number or a phone number, they buy the number which ends with these lucky numbers at a high price.
In my opinion, success and luck have nothing to do with such so-called lucky numbers. The only key to success or wealth lies in hard work and persistence. If we are too dependent on the lucky numbers, we may become lazy or even discouraged when they proved to be useless. We should believe in ourselves and make great efforts to struggle for success as well as wealth.

My Opinion on Luck
With the National College Entrance Examination drawing near, all the students wish to succeed in it so as to realize their dreams. But there are some students who, instead of devoting their time to their study, go to the temple and pray for good luck. They think success results from good luck, upon which whether they can be admitted into their dream universities mainly depends.
However, others insist that diligence is the mother of good luck. Only by hard work can they achieve what they want. Even though they fail sometimes, they don’t give up, because they believe success lies in their own hands.
As for me, I’m in favor of the latter opinion. Luck doesn’t come alone. It goes hand in hand with hard work.. Sometimes some students are lucky enough to succeed, but such luck won’t last long because it is not based on their own abilities.
