The Two-Day weekend
1.双休日给大学生带来的好处。
2.双休日可能给大学生带来的问题。
3.我应当怎样过好双休日。

The advance of science and technology makes people have more free time, nowadays, we have 5-workday week. Therefore, our university and college students can have much more leisure time. Sports fans can play in the playground. Some students who are interested in social word can join clubs. Of course, we also can get a part time job to gain some work experience.
There is a growing concern over the students who don’t put too much emphasis on study. Some students always idle away their time, playing cards, drinking, gambling. These problems are really serious. Taking into account all these factors, we can safely come to the conclusion that the students will waste more time if they don’t make good use of it.
As a student, busy as I am with my study, I also do many interesting things such as reading novels, writing articles, playing table tennis or go dancing sometimes as the two-day weekends.

Useful Expressions
1.to join in games (clubs, the argument) 参加活动（俱乐部，争论），这时候，介词in可有可无，但是在讲到“入党，入团，参军”时，不用介词in。
2.to put too much emphasis on study 不太重视学习
to put (place, lay) emphasis (weight, stress) on (upon) 强调，着重在，用力于
3.idle away one’s time =idle one’s time away 浪费时间，虚度光阴
4.to take sth. into account对……加以关注、考虑
如：When judging his performance, don’t take his age into account. (评判他的工作时，不要考虑他的年龄。)
5.to come to the conclusion 得出结论也可以说成：draw a/ the conclusion; reach a/the conclusion

双 休 日
科学技术的发展使人们有了更多的自由时间。现在，我们每周工作五天。因此，大学生有更多的空闲时间。喜欢运动的人可以去操场玩耍，对社会工作感兴趣的一些学生参加俱乐部。当然，我们也可以找到非全日制的工作以取得一些工作经验。
有些学习不太重视，这是让人担忧的。一些学生总是虚度时光－打牌、喝酒、赌博，此类问题是严重的。考虑到这些因素，我们完全可以得出结论：如果这些学生不能很好地利用双休日,他们将会浪费更多的时间.
作为名学生, 尽管我学习很忙,我也利用双休日做许多有意思的事情,如读小说、写文章、打乒乓球,有时去跳舞。

Why I Take the College English Test Band 6
1.有人认为没有必要参加大学英语六考试（简称CET-6）
2.我参加CET-6考试的理由。

Although nowadays more and more people take the college English Test Band 6, still thee are people who think it unnecessary to take the CET-6. They may think that it is enough to have passed the CET-4.
I have my own opinion. I think it is necessary to take CET-6. The reasons as follows: first, passing CET-4 only means that you have the ability to read, write, speak and listen to simple English, you are far from being good at English. Second, with the development of market economy, more and more foreigners are coming to China. Since many people in the world speak English, you can communicate with them freely if you have good command of the language. Last, if you plan to take CET-4, which will bring your English study, instead of stopping English study after passing CET-4, which will bring your English to a higher level. Higher English level will help you to find a satisfactory job in the future.
I take CET-6 not only for a pass, but also improve my English. So even after I pass it, I will continue my English study.

Useful Expression
to have a good command of 能自由应用，精通
尽管现在越来越多的学生参加大学英语六级考试， 但是仍有人认为这没有必要。他们或许以为通过了大学英语四级考试就足够了。
我有自己的看法。我认为参加六级考试是必要的。理由如下：首先，通过四考试只说明你具备了读、写、听、说、听简单英语的能力，你的英语还差的很远。其次，随着市场经济的发展，许多外国人来到中国。由于世界上许多人说英语，这将会使你的英语达到较高水平，而不是考完四级以后就停止不学了。英语水平高将来会有助于你找到一份满意的工作。
我参加大学英语六级考试不仅仅是为了通过考试，而是为了提高我的英语水平。因此，即使我通过了考试，我还要继续学英语。

Global Shortage of Fresh Water
1.人们以为淡水是取之不尽的。
(提示：雨水，河水，井水……)
2.实际上淡水是非常紧缺的。
（提示：人中增长，工业用水增加，污染……）
3.我们应该怎么办。

It is widely believed that fresh water will never be used up because we can get it from rain, rivers and wells. As a matter of fact, such belief is wrong and possibly dangerous.
Scientists have revealed that despite the fact that the 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water, a little part of it is fresh water. Ninety percent of fresh water is stored in the Antarctic zone end cannot be directly used.
Fresh water is used to feed people and propel machines. With the increasing number of the population and factories, the amount of fresh water in use is also growing rapidly. It is estimated that if such growth is that the water pollution including industrial wastes and poisonous chemicals which eventually blacken rivers and form acid rains.
We still have time if we act just now. We must tell all the others the importance of fresh water and the danger we are facing. We can control the number of factories and the wastes they produce. We can also develop0 new ways to use our limited fresh water more economically.

Useful Expressions
1.to use up 用完
如：they have used up their money. (他们的钱花了。)
they energy resources are being used up rapidly. (这些能源正被迅速耗尽.)
2.as a matter of fact与in fact 意思相同，多用于口语中。
3.to feed people 养活人民
4.to propel machines推动机器（或：使机器转动）
5.acid rains 酸雨

全球淡水缺乏
人们以为淡水是取之不尽的，因为我们可以从雨水，河水和井水中得到淡水。事实上，这种观点是错误的而且很可能是危险的。
科学家们已经指出尽管地球表面的70%有水覆盖着，但是仅有一小部分是淡水。90%的淡水在南极，不能直接使用。
淡水供人饮用，也用来推动机器。随着人口数量的增加，淡水的用也在快速增长。据估计，如果这种增长不加控制，到下一世纪淡水将被用光。另一种危险是水的污染，包括工业废物和有毒化学药品，这些东西最终会使河流变黑并且形成酸雨。如果我们现在行动起来还为时不晚。我们应当告诉所有的人淡水的重要性，以及我们正面临的危险。我们能够控制工厂的数目和工厂生产出的废物。我们能够想出新办法以便更经济的使用我们有限的淡水。

Health Gains in Developing Countries

Directions: For this part. You are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Health gains in Developing Countries. You must base your composition on the following instruction (given in Chinese)
1.以下图为依据描述发展中国家的预期寿命(life expectancy)和婴儿死亡率(infant mortality)的变化情况。
2.说明引起变化的各种原因。

Life expectancy

80 year old
60
40
20
0
1960 1990
Infant mortaility
150 deaths per 1,000 briths
200
150
100
50
0
1960 1990

Your composition should be no less than 120 words. remember to write it neatly.

Health Gains in Developing Countries
A study in 1991 showed that the life expectancy had increased and the infant mortality had decreased in developing countries since 1960.
As you may see from the diagram, the life expectancy in 1960 was 40 years old and it was about 60 in 1990. and we can see from the diagram, the infant mortality was about 200 deaths per 1,000 births in 1960, and it was approximately just below 100 in 1990.
The reason that caused changes are diverse. On the one hand, the medical service is better than before. The new statistical data show that a good doctor can save 1,000 people’s lives in his whole life. And in developing countries more and more good doctors are beginning to serve the people. On the other hand ,our foods are much better then before. A good social investigation shows that people spend more and more money on food instead of on food instead of on clothing. That helps to make our bodies stronger.
From all the fact given above, we can see that developing countries are becoming better and better, and people can gain health in developing countries.
Useful Expressions
1.the reason that caused changes are diverse. 造成变化的原因是多种多样的。
diverse 多种多样的
如：Her interests are very diverse. (她的兴趣很广泛。)
2.…people spend more and more money on food instead of on clothing.
spend money on sth.(或for sth)在……上花费钱财
如：he spends too much (money) on colthes.(他在服装上花得钱太多了)

发展中国家的保健
1991年的研究说明，从1960年以来，发展中国家人们的寿命增加了，婴儿死亡率下降了。
从图表上可以看到，1960年平均寿命是40岁，1990年是60岁左右。从图表上还可以看出，1960年1000名出生儿中，死亡人数约200人，到1990年下降到了100人以下。
造成变化的原因是多种多样的。一方面，医疗服务比以前好。新的统计资料表明一名好医生在一生中能救活1000人的生命。在发展中国家越来越多的好医生正在为人民服务。另一方面，我们的食品比过去好得多。社会调查说明人们把越来越多的钱花在食品上，而不是衣服上。这有助于增强我们的体质。
从上面所提到的事实，我们可以看到发展中国家正在变得越来越好，人民能够增进健康。

Practice Makes Perfect
1.怎样理解“熟能生巧”？
2.例如：在英语学习中……
3.又如……
practice makes perfect. It means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it. He who practices a lot will spend less time mastering the skills than be who seldom or never practices.
For example, when we learn English, we have to learn grammar, words, expressions and so on. The most important thing may be how to put what we’ve learned into practice. If you only learn the grammatical rules by heart and don’t do enough exercises, it is certain that you can’t understand them perfectly. But if you practise a lot, maybe you will understand them more deeply and you can find some good methods of applying them. Memorize them and even can find a way to memorize them more quickly.
There is another good example for it. A famous singer can sing very well. Of course, his or her talent is very important, but the practice is necessary. It is the practice that makes the singer sing better and better.
It is evident that practice is important to everybody. If you want to improve your study and work, you should remember that practice makes perfect.

Useful Expressions
1.to put…into practice 把……落实到实践中
如：we must put theory into practice.(我们必须将理论用于实践。)
2.by heart 用心记
如：you must learn it by heart.(你应记住它。)

熟能生巧
熟能生巧。这句话的意思是：如果你做事情反复实践，你就会做得完美。经过大量实践的人在掌握技巧方面，比起那些很少实践或从不实践的人花的时间要少。
譬如，当我们学英语时，我们要学语法、词汇、表达法等等。最重要的是怎样把我们所学的东西用于实践。如果你只是背语法规则但练习得不够，当然你就不会完全理解这些语法规则。但是，如果你大量练习，或许你会深刻地理解这些语法规则，并且可以找到应用语法规则的好方法。只要时间允许，就要记英语词汇，这样我们就能容易地记住这些词汇，甚至还可以找到记忆词汇的快捷方法。
还有一个好例子说明熟能生巧。著名歌唱家唱得好，当然他（她）的天才是很重要的。但是实践是不可缺少的。正是实践使歌唱家唱得越来越好。
显然，实践对每一个人都很重要。如果你想改进你的学习和工作，你应当记住熟能生巧。

Haste Makes Waste
1.为什么说“欲速则不达”
2.试举例说明。

There is an old saying, “Haste makes waste.” It’s the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct in many cases even today.
Usually, if you act faster, you can reach your goals earlier. But it isn’t always the case. If you emphasize only on speed but ignore the quality of your work, your effect will be the opposite. The more hasty you are, the slower you achiever completeness and success.
Suppose you are preparing for your final examination. There are a lot of exercises to do and many notes to memorize. The fact that you have no enough time makes you very worried. So you have to read and write continuously, without rest, without sleep, without relaxation. The result is that your brain is less and less efficient, your process is slower and slower and slower. The situation goes from bad to worse. All your efforts lead to nothing.
On the contrary, if you do your preparations with a calculated plan and carry out the plan step by step, your work will be effective. Consequently, you will take part in the exams confidently with good preparations.
Whatever you do. Please remember the saying----Haste makes waste. If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you’ll benefit a lot from it.

Useful Expressions
1.It’s not always the case.情况不总是这样的。
Case 情况，状况
如：as the case stands, you must leave here at once.(照现在的情况看，你必须立即离开这里)
2.the situation goes from bad to worse.(情况越来越坏)。
如：we were hoping for an improvement, but things have gone from bad to worse.
(我们希望能有改进，但是情况却每况愈下。)
3.on the contrary 恰恰相反
如：it doesn’t seen ugly to me; on the contrary, I think it’s rather beautiful.(我并不觉得它丑，恰恰相反，我认为它相当美。)

欲速则不达
有句俗话说“欲望速则不达”。这是我们祖先的经验之谈。然而，即使在今天的许多事情中，这句话也是正确的。
一般地说，如果你行动快捷，你就会较早地达到目的。 但是情况不总是这样。如果你只强调速度而忽视工作质量，就会适得其反。你越匆忙，你取得成功的进程就越慢。
假设你正在准备期末考试，有许多练习要做，许多笔记要背。没有足够的时间复习使用权你很着急。这样你得不停地读、写，不休息，不睡觉，不娱乐。其结果是你的头脑越来越不灵，你的进步越来越缓慢，每况愈下。你努力白费了。
相反，如果你按做出的计划复习，并且一步步地执行这个计划，你的工作将会是有效的。有了充分的准备，结果，你在考试中将会信心十足。
不管你做什么，请记住这句人俗话：欲速则不达。你如果明白了这个道理，并且把它应用到学习和工作中，你就会从中受益。

Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus
1.大学生了解社会的必要性。
2.了解社会的途径（大众媒介，社会服务等）
3.我打算怎么做？

With the rapid development of society, it is essential for college students to get to know the world outside the campus. There are varieties of reasons why we should do that. The primary cause is that we can extend the horizon of knowledge. Nowadays, our knowledge is mostly derived from books, which is really limited. Only through the society will we learn more. Second, it will enable us to be more sophisticated after graduation. Finally, knowing the world outside the campus may make us full of the sense of duty and help us makes great achievements is the future.
There are many ways to know the outside world. You can watch TV, read newspapers and listen to radio, through which you can know more about the outside world. Social practice can also help you keep in touch with workers and farmers. You can take a temporary job, such as a tutor, a part-time salesman, a waiter or waitress to get some experience in the society.
As a college student in the modern age, I should find ways of getting myself out of the ivory tower and into the real world. I should learn the society, learn practical knowledge and the ability to serve the country.

Useful Expressions
1.to extend the horizon of knowledge扩大知识面（范围）
2.to derive from获得，得来
如：Thousands of English words derive from Latin.(成千上万的英文单词来自拉丁文。)
She derived no benefit from the course of drugs.(她服了一个疗程的药没见效。)
3.to keep in touch with 与……有关系
如：I try to keep in touch with current events by reading the newspapers.(我试图通过看报纸了解时事。)
4.ivory tower 象牙塔（高等教育机构，譬如大学，常被称为“象牙之塔”。因为在大学里，教授及学生研究的只是书本知识，他们几乎不涉及日常生活中的实际知识。）

了解样园外面的世界
随着社会的发展，对于大学生来说，了解校园外面的世界是必要的。我们这样做，有多种原因。首先，了解社会可以扩大我们的知识面。现今，我们的知识大多来源于书本，这些知识是很有限的，只有通过社会我们才能学得更多。第二，了解社会使我们毕业以后较为老练。最后一点是，了解校园外面的世界会使我们充满责任感，并且有助于在将来取得较大成就。
了解社会的途径很多。你可以看电视，读报纸，听广播，借此可以更多地了解社会。社会实践也可以帮你同工农保持联系。你可以做一份临时工作，譬如当家教，做兼职推销员，做招待等，以取得一些社会经验。
作为一名当代大学生，我要设法使自己从象牙塔里走出来，步入现实世界。我要了解社会，学习实践知识和为国效劳的本领。

My View on Job-Hopping
1.有些人喜欢始终从事一种工作，因为……
2.有些人喜欢经常更换工作，因为……
3.我的看法。
Many people are inclined to do one job in their life. In their opinions, people who change their jobs frequently are superficial and tactless. They believe that the only way to success is to stick to one job, for constant practice in a professional field helps make an expert.
But there are still many people who don’t agree. They argue that change means progress. If you are not satisfied with your present job, of course you have the right to replace it with a more challenging and better paid one. Every change is a step to further success. This idea may be the reason why they change their jobs so often.
For my part, I think it reasonable to change your job if you have a better opportunity. But once you have found a position where you can fully display your ability, it is advisable to settle down to it and put all your efforts into it. Only in this way, can you get the true joy of achieving your goal.

Useful Expressions
1.to be inclined to 倾向于，想要，喜好
如：He’s inclined to be lazy.(他生性懒惰。)
Do you feel inclined for a walk (to go for a walk)?(你想出去散步吗？)
2.to stick to 坚持，坚守
如：you must stick to this principle.(你应当坚持这项原则。)
3.for my part 就我而论，至于我
如：for my part, I don’t mind where we eat. (就我来说，我不介意我们在哪里吃饭。)
4.to settle (down) to do sth. 专心致志于……
如：the constant interruptions stopped me settling (down) to my work. (不断地打扰使我难以安定下来工作。)

我对职业的看法
许多人喜好终身从事一种工作。在他们看来，经常更换职业的人浅薄，不老练。他们认为成功之道是终身守一职，因为在自己的业务发展中反复实践有助于成才。
但是也有许多人不同意以上观点，他们认为变动意味着进步。如果你不满意目前的工作，你当然有权力换一个更具挑战性的、待遇更好的工作。每一次更换就会向着更加成功迈进一步，这种观点也许是他们不断更换职业的原因。
就我而言，我认为若有更好的机会，更换一下职业是合情合理的，但是， 一旦找到一份你能展示你的才干的职业，就该专心致志把它做好。只有如此，你才能真正享受到取得成就的欢乐。
