I’m very lucky to attend thisworld-famous university, but I’m afraid I’m not content with the canteenservice on campus.
Firstly, the quality of the dishesshould be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but allthe year round, they are the same. More and more students are complaining abouteating the same food each day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety.
Secondly, the price is a bit too high.Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious butalso cheaper food.
Finally, the environment is so noisythat we can’t enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some softmusic to help us relax.
These suggestions are not just of myown, but also of may other students. We hope our respectable president will payattention to our suggestions.
By the way, the canteen workers arevery patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers thembetter conditions, they will offer us better service.

Students tend to use computers moreand more nowadays. Reading this chart, we can find that the average number ofhours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990,it was less than 2 hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4 hours; while in2000, the number soared to 20 hours.
Obviously computers are becoming moreand more popular. There are several reasons for this. First, computersfacilitate us in more aspects of life. Also, the fast development of theInternet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact withfriends in remote places through the Internet. Besides, the prices of computersare getting lower and lower, which enables more students to purchase them.
Along with the time spent oncomputers, there arise some problems. The most serious one is that manystudents are spending so much time playing PC games so that they ignore theirstudies. It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper way.

［范文］It Pays to Be Honest
Although honesty is believed to bea virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, somebusinessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in theexams.
Dishonest people are short-sighted.Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won’t buytheir products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even besent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot.
Those who always tell truth or keep totheir promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other peopleas well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they aretrustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them,Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job.Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we cansay that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.
In a word, honesty wins trust, respectand honor. So it is important that we should be honest.

［参考范文］Changes of Ownership of Houses in China
Ownership of houses in China haschanged greatly in the past decade. In the past, most houses were stateowned.But now, private houses are everywhere. As is shown in the chart above, in1990, the city’s houses were mainly state-owned, with a percentage of 75. Thispercentage became 60 in theyear 1995 and then dropped sharply to 20 in 2000. At the same time, the number of privatehouses has soared up to 80 percent.
There are mainly two reasons thataccount for this rapid change. Firstly, the government has been forwarding thepolicy to support private houses programs. These programs have proved to bevery important in developingChina’seconomy. Secondly, with the development of economy, people’s standard of livinghas risen. They want to have their own houses to satisfy their needs.
The change has enabled more people toenjoy larger living space. At the same time, people feel pressure to make moremoney so that they can buy their own houses.

As is known to all, waste on campushas become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many studentsdump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuanbuying fashionable clothes and so on.
The negative effects of waste can beshown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some studentsdependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development. Ifthey don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when theygraduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange forour schooling. Last but not the least important, there is no denying the factthat our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go touniversity and many poor people still need our help.
As far as I am concerned, I should seta good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all, I will refrain fromwasting anything, from food to stationery. What’s more, I’m determined to callon more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can wehope to reduce waste on campus.
设想你买了一本英文词典，发现有这样那样的质量问题，书店的服务态度又不好，因此给报社编辑写信。信中必须包括以下内容：
1、事情的起因
2、与书店交涉的经过
3、呼吁服务行业必须提高服务质量
I am writing this letter to reflectsome problems I came across recently and. appeal to the improvement of theservice industry.
This weekend I bought anEnglish-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover iselaborately designed. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that theseveral pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What is worse,the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect mycomprehension. Since there was such damage and misprint to the dictionary, Iwent to the bookstore to require for a replace. But to my surprise, the staffof the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor qualityof the dictionary.
It goes without saying that today’sface-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard forservice industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail toachieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It’sself-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industrywill not only deeply disappoint customers but also hamper the development ofour country’s economy. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to theservice industry to attach more importance to the service improvement.
Thank you for your attention!

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write anessay entitled “On Piracy” of no less than 150 words. You may base your writingon the following outline:
1．目前盗版的现象比较严重。
2．造成这种现象的原因及危害
3．我们应该怎么做
Useful words and expressions
盗版piracy (n)
盗版产品pirated products
知识产权intellectual products
侵犯版权infringe sb’s copyright, copyright infringement
［参考范文之一］
Nowadays, it is known to all thatChina has become a place of rampant pirated products: pirated CDs, piratedVCDs, pirated DVDs, pirated books… They are available everywhere and we are soaccustomed to the phenomenon that we won’t feel it strange to see piratedcopies of the latest movies even before they are on shown in theatres.
The reasons for the phenomenon, whichare obvious to all, can be listed as follows:
First of all, the price of theproducts that are pirated is too high that most people cannot afford it.Second, the price of the pirated products is much lower and, in some cases, thepirated product doesn’t necessarily mean low quality. Also playing a part isthe local government. Some officials give top priority to economy. They willtolerate, or even encourage, anything so long it can bring them financialincome.
But the pirated products really domuch harm. First, they infringe intellectual property rights. Second, theyoffend against the rules of the market. As a result of piracy, companiesinvesting in invention will inevitably run bankruptcy and our society will stopwhere it is. No advance. No progress.
In view of the seriousness of theproblem, effective measures should be taken: for one thing, it is high timethat people all overChinarealized the harm of piracy; for another, the government should issue strictlaws and regulations in order to put the situation under control.
［参考范文之二］
At present, piracy is becomingunprecedentedly visible in China, Any product, like tape, CD and hi-tech devicecan be copied, not to mention book. Shortly after a newly-published book hitsthe shelves, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in thestores.
It has been widely believed thatpiracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers, inventors and authorsin many ways. To start with,pirated products often cost much less than theoriginal ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of theirrelatively poor quality. The original ones, on the contrary, sell poorly.As faras pirated books are concerned, they do great harm to the authors/ reputationdue to their misprints. In the long run, pirated products may also havenegative impacts on customers since those legitimate producers' enthuslasm maybe greatly hurt by the fact that some customers are more indined to purchasepirated products.
In my opinion, it’s high time that thegovement called on everyone to start the battle against piracy. Besides, ascustomers, we should develop our consciousness to resist pirated products. Andlaw should be strictly carried out to ban piracy from spreading any further.Only in this way can we put an end to piracy and create a healthy environmentfor both customers and producers.
