我们应该如何引导和教育儿童leading children in the right direction since the reform and opening up of china, our country has made great progress. our world is now full of different colors and opportunities, especially for children. children who have been regarded as flowers of our motherland are now taken better care of. they are really living in a very comfortable environment. this is good but it is sometimes bad for them since the golden age of innocence seems to have disappeared. the new generation of chinese live in a culture saturated with hollywood movies, rock music, and media which confronts them with sex and violence. as children are naturally vulnerable both emotionally and spiritually, these things affect children most seriously. what shall we do so as to protect children from the media which seems to be seeping into every aspect of our lives. obviously, there is no sense in trying to protect children from exposure to it because it is almost inevitable. we should teach them from an early age how to interpret what they are seeing. teach them to dismiss sex and violence as tasteless trash. we can also use media at our disposal and show children the wonders of the world, inspire and stimulate them. it is our responsibility to lead them in the right direction.2. directions: you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “health, wealth and happiness”. an outline has been given below.1) 不同的人对健康、财富和幸福的不同看法2) 健康、财富和幸福之间的相互关系3) 保持乐观的心态十分重要wealth,healthandhappiness as to what are the elements of happiness, the answers can be varied greatly. yet, it is universally acknowledged that the most essential constituent is health. without a fit body and sound mentality, how can you take on genuine smiles everyday? then what about health, can it bring you happiness? it may be not. it is true that if a person possesses large sums of money, he or she is allowed to buy a wide range of articles, such as books, clocks, houses, but by no means will he or she be able to exchange them for knowledge, time and home. without this spiritual fulfillment,they would still find it hard to be truly immersed in happiness.nowadays, health has become an increasingly concerned topic among people from all walks of life. different peopleadopt different measures to obtain health. usually those who spend generous amount of money on exotic gourmet food and beauty saloons are anything but happy, because those fat-laden food may build up on their waist and years may still wrinkle their face and they may easily regain their weight by the smallest cheese burg. these can be the best proof of the truth that money can not buy health. but happiness, on the contrary, may generate health to some extent. a happy mind can take you everywhere. so long as you maintain a jocund mood, health will no longer be far away. wealth, health and happiness are the common aspirations of everyone, but only those wise enough can achieve them at the same time. so try to strike a balance.3. directions: you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled “which is better, working in a multinational or as a civil servant?”. an outline has been given below.1)

网上购物渐渐流行起来。2网上购物与商店购物的优缺点。3我目前喜欢的购物方式。the traditional and on-line shoppingwith the help of the internet, shopping online becomes increasingly popular nowadays. it has a influence on the traditional shopping way that we buy things in real-life stores. comparing the two methods, there are advantages and disadvantages in both of them.traditional shopping is a funny way. we can go to shop with friends, enjoy the sunshine, communicate with the shopkeeper and bargain the goods. the products are really existent and you can touch them or compare them. also, we can try clothes to sure whether the color and the fashion are suit ourselves. nevertheless, there are weak points shopping outside .it is not convenient and it wastes time, moreover we are easy to get tired of walking from one shop to another.by contrast with traditional purchasing way, shopping online is more quickly and conveniently. we can buy things at any time and it is not necessary to worry about the weather is good or

the pros and cons both of them and choose either way to facilitate our lives. 5directions: nowadays more and more people have the long-cherished dream of going abroad for further study. some parents even send their children in middle school for overseas study. the issue concerning overseas study has been boiling over into a hot debate. some people think overseas study will beneficial while others dont think so. in this part, you are allowed 40 minutes to write a composition of no fewer than 150 words on the title: on overseas study. your composition should be based on the following outline: 1. 出国留学现象很盛行。 2出国留学的有利、不利因素。 3我对出国留学的看法。some college students dream of going abroad for further study. they believe that there are many up-to-date research facilities, teaching equipment, world famous professors and good learning environment in some foreign universities. all these will contribute to their development.others think that college students can also fully develop themselves by studying at home universities. though some learning conditions at home are not as good as those abroad, there are still some advantages of studying in ones own country. for example, you dont have to worry about the tuition fee or living expenses and there is no language or cultural barrier.as to me, i think both of the above opinions are partially convincing. everything depends on your own situation. if fate smiles upon you and you can afford all the tuition and fees to study abroad, you should seize the opportunity and achieve more. otherwise, you can be equally successful at home by diligence. to sum up, what counts is not where one studies, but how much he achieves after his studies.on overseas study recent years, more and more chinese people have chosen to study abroad. to this tendency, some people think it is not good, as most of the overseas learners do not come back, whereas i hold a different opinion. in my opinion, it is a good thing that more chinese people go abroad. there are three reasons. first, the overseas learners can improve their ability through the study. they can grasp advanced technologies and their language ability can be improved as well. second, with the rapid development of china, more and more overseas learners will choose come back, using their abundant knowledge studied abroad to serve for the motherland. the third, the government and most domestic enterprises are willing to provide favorable treatments to attract them to come back. although some do not want to come home, we are glad to see that there are more overseas learners chosen to work at home than before. for the above reasons, i think it is not a bad thing for more and more chinesestudy abroad.6directions: in a competitive society, people are inevitably involved with each other and we affect each other all the time. people are concerned about how to get on with one another in harmony. several ways are suggested, making good use of the power of laughter, trying to be tolerant, etc. in this part, you are allowed 40 minutes to write a composition of no fewer than 150 words on the title: the art of establishing harmonious relationship between people. your composition should be based on the following outline: 1人与人建立和谐关系的必要性。 2人与人之间建立和谐关系的途径和方法。 3你与人相处的理想方式。 in a competitive society, people are inevitably involved with each other and we affect each other all the time, so it is very necessary for people to establish harmonious relationship between people. people are concerned about how to get on with one another in harmony. how to build good relationship with othersas a freshman or a new staff of a corporation, you probably be bothered by how to build good relationship with your friends, colleagues and bosses. now there are some useful tips that are supposed to help you someway. generally speaking, therere 3 essential steps in different stages. first and foremost, you are suggested that be as polite as possible in order to leave a deep impression to him/her when meet for the first time. moreover, introduce yourself to him/her on your own initiative. as we know, smile is the best gift at the first sight of a stranger. consequently, a smiling expression is extremely important. when he/she has done an arduous assignment, youd better sing high praise for his/her achievement. meanwhile, show your respect for him/her. suppose that one of colleagues is introverted and seldom talks to you, are you going to keep silent and have a cold war with him/her? in order to make your relationship better with others, youd better try to communicate with him/her on your own initiative. besides, you are advised to seek resonant points between you and him/her. as a result, in our daily life, you are due to be a person with high aspirations and determination, also being good at “digs” others interest and strongpoint. in that case, the distance between you and he/she is gradually shortened by sharing the same interest and hobby. therefore, trying your best to comprehend and accept others interest is awfully important. once you have found the ones interest, you talk about and mention it frequently. contrarily, it is crucial that to be more euphemistic or indirect in case that he/she has done something incorrect or there is shortcoming on him/her. naturally, things would turn better under your effort. eventually, it is suggested that you still have to keep in touch with him/her in the days to come in order to further your relationship. as a saying says, “friendship is just like a cup of tea. the longer you hide it, the denser it will be. dont consider the effort you have done on good relationship is brief .by contraries, it is a long-term course. for instance, when he/she is now in trouble, its the best time to express your sympathy and true friendship. exert yourself to comfort him/her and do him/her a favor in time. the spark of friendship will spurt without a doubt. moreover, to share your happiness and sadness with him/her will make your relationship get steadier and steadier step by step. on christmas, spring festival and other festival, a card, a telephone call, and an e-mail even a short message will remind him/her of your rare friendship. needless to say, relationship is firm and would last forever. in a word, a good relationship is not easy to build .however, steady relationship often bases on individual effort and discernment, so we could make good use of every chance to “dig” and “exploit” our relationship. here comes the conclusion: being observant and conscientious would always lead to the success of great relationship.7 my ideal job directions: in this part you are expected to write a short essay entitled “my ideal job” in at least 150 words that must include the three points listed below. 1.
