1. Directions: In this section, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay commenting the saying “Listening is more important than talking.” You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of listening. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 参考范文：
Talking and listening are commonly used in communication, but how can you talk without listening to others? Since good conversation skills include much more than simply talking to others, listening is indispensable to a successful person. I firmly believe that listening is of greater significance than talking. For one thing, if you cannot listen correctly, you cannot talk properly. Just imagine a world where everyone keeps talking but nobody listening; it＇s useless to say anything then. For another, if you want to make achievement in social settings, relationships and business, one way to ensure your success is to be a great listener. Therefore, in order to enhance our conversation skills, here are a few simple rules we can follow to help us become a better listener: stopping talking endlessly, giving your full attention to the speaker and making an effort to shift the focus of the conversation to the other person. All in all, nothing can replace listening! 2. Directions: In this section, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay commenting the saying “Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission.” You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of lifelong learning. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 参考范文：
It is widely accepted that to live and learn is a creed of many centuries. Even in contemporary society, life-long learning still carries great importance to personal happiness. To begin with, hardly can anyone achieve genuine success in his career without learning. As competition in all lines of work grows increasingly fierce, we must defeat our rivals through learning. Furthermore, according to a latest survey conducted by an authority on the Internet, 95 percent of people interviewed answered that individual happiness and success can not exist without life-long learning. In addition, an increasing number of people come to realize the value of persistent learning. A case in point is those aged citizens who have retired from work seek to learn Chinese drawing, calligraphy and Peking drama, so that their life after retirement can be meaningful and colorful. Taking into account the analysis above, we can safely draw a conclusion that where there is leaning, there is life-long happiness. 3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following topic. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Suppose a foreign friend of yours is coming to visit your hometown, what is the most interesting place you would like to take him/her to see and why? 参考范文 A Tour to Mount Tai I am delighted to learn that my foreign friend, Bill, is going to take vacation in my hometown. For the sake of his hospitality I enjoyed in England, I will show him around the landscape, among which Mount Tai ranks unquestionably on the top of my list. Centuries ago, at the summit of the Mountain, Confucius exclaimed that the world was small; in modern times, everyone is bound to appreciate its spectacular and sacredness. Mount Tai is more than a mountain; it is a place which symbolizes hope and auspiciousness, embodying profound culture. Furthermore, Mount Tai is considered to be a sacred location where almost every ancient Chinese emperor came here to make offerings to Heaven and Earth, praying for a prosperous country and a peaceful living environment. Visiting Mount Tai is more than a mountain climbing excursion, but a hands-on engagement in ancient culture and contemporary prosperity. Thus, I assure you that you enjoy like this wonderful experience. 4. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your opinion of doing small things before undertaking something big. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180words. The importance of doing small things From the cartoon, we can clearly see that the boy is worried about disposing of nuclear waste while his father tells him to empty the dustbin first. This carton reminds me of a Chinese saying: “If you don＇t clean the room (solve your problems), then how can you administer the world?” However, most people are apt to attach great importance to something big, but neglect small things. In my opinion, it is necessary and important to do small things. On the one hand, doing small things well helps us to develop good habits, which paves the way for our future development. There is no doubt that one of the greatest differences between success and failure is the importance placed on little things. On the other hand, the big is the little. Something that needs to be done is big. Whatever task is big as long as it is worth doing. Taking all these into account, we can easily notice that it is reasonable to do small things before big ones. Therefore, before doing important things, let’s empty our dustbin first! 5. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your opinion of The Impact of Mobile Phone Use on Education. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. The Impact of Mobile Phone Use on Education The presented picture reflects a common trend in the way people are educated nowadays. In this picture, the mother is going to walk with her son to school. But according to the son, he doesn’t really need to go to school since the phone in his hand already makes him know everything. The picture reveals the impact of mobile phone used in education. Can mobile phone replace traditional class in school? My answer is negative. First of all, students develop their own way and habit of learning under the guidance of the teachers, which can benefit their life-long learning. Secondly, every subject of education in school is systematic, such as Chinese, mathematics, science and philosophy. Education should not be considered as information fragments that we randomly collect on the mobile phones. Last but not least, students can have exact face-to-face communication with their teachers and classmates, which helps to cultivate their communicative abilities. In conclusion, mobile phone use is a convenient way of obtaining information, but it is still necessary that we attend school to get formal education.  6. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your opinion of Using Computer Wisely. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 参考范文 Using Computer Wisely The comic reflects the image of our modern world in which technology has been an inseparable part of people’s daily life. As is shown, the man in the picture uses a laptop at work and home for business and entertainment, so obsessed that he even dreams about bending over his laptop. It is undeniable that this has been a common scene and the overuse of computers has aroused great concern. In my opinion, people should be cautious of the excessive use of computers for the following reasons. In the first place, it will inevitably affect people’s health if they sit before computers and stare at the screens for long hours, which may result in muscle pain and visual impair. Secondly, playing computers alone isolates people from others. Relationships in the real world are maintained through human contact, spending time with each other instead of chitchatting online. In summary, people should cut down their computer use for health and social reasons. Computers are not controllers but tools in our life. 7. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “Never go out there to see what happens, go out there to makes something happen“ You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of being creative rather than mere onlookers in life. You should write at least 120 words, no more than 180 words. 参考范文 There is an old saying “Never go out there to see what happens, go out there to make things happen”. It is the experience of our forefathers; however, it is correct in many cases even today. Only when you participate more can you make things perfect. Participation has been more and more important in society. Students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it. Surely participation has many advantages. Firstly, it can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. In this way people can gain some valuable social experience, which will be useful to their future life. Secondly, as college students, we can apply what we have learned in class to practical work, thus knowing ourselves more clearly. Take the study of oral English for example. Participation in any chances of communications with others in English enables us to speak English fluently. In summary, participation is the key factor in our daily life no matter who you are, no matter what you are doing. We should put our studies in the first place and see participation just as a useful supplement, so we ought to try to strike a balance between them. 8. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled The Most Impressive Activity. You should write at least 120 words, no more than 180 words. The Most Impressive Campus Activity

Every university offers numerous kinds of activities to enrich students’ extracurricular life. As one of the young college students, I have benefited a lot from all of these well-organized activities, but the one impressing me most is the debate competition which I took part in last year.
That was a debate competition between different majors and the topic was about theoretical knowledge versus practices. What mattered most is not the result of the debate, but gathering background information and practicing the process of debate. Also, no individual could accomplish the challenging task all by herself or himself, so joint efforts have played a significant role in winning the competition. Team spirit and cooperation have been improved a lot and I believe this is more precious than winning or losing. To be brief, we should participate in more campus activities, from which not only can we get a better understanding of what we have learnt before but also make new friends and discover our interests. 9. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to express your thanks to one of your friends who helped you most when you were in difficulty. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. I have met so many friends who have exerted enormous influence on my college life. However, one of my most impressive friends is my roommate, Li Ming.
In the class meeting on the first day of school, Li Ming did not impress us at all. We started to notice him because he was always late for classes. We were thus impressed by his laziness. I came to know him and his situation because we were roommates and spent much time together: his mother was seriously ill and sick abed for a long time, his father left him and his mother mercilessly. Hence, it was him that shouldered the heavy burden of taking care of his sick mother and supporting the whole family. Finally, under great pressures, he balanced his life and study perfectly: he was no longer always late, took good care of his mother and even won the scholarship many years in a row. The experience of Li Ming can be one of the most convincing cases of the power of persistence and will. He left a deep impression and imposed a durable influence on me. Indeed, friend such as him can be regarded as asset and property in our life. We have rights to choose our own friends，but we should also be prudent and sensible enough to choose friends who can bring us “positive energy”. 10. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and comment on parents’ role in their children’s growth. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. 参考范文：
As is shown in the cartoon, a girl said to her mother, “Good news mom！I was accepted to the college of your choice.” To our surprise, the girl’s look and clothes are just the same as her mother’s. Simple as the picture is, the symbolic meaning behind it is as deep as an ocean. In the modern society, it is very common that nearly most of parents do everything that should be done by their children. So the children will become increasingly vulnerable. When they have to make their own choices, they even don’t know how to make a right choice, still less to say to be a winner in this competitive society. Independence is the soul of man＇s survival. As a matter of fact, the society of the 21st century is full of competition and challenges, but it also means that facing the competition and development, we must learn to think independently, to bravely make our own choices! When a person is in a critical moment of life, he really needs parents’ choices; but please remember that reliance on is not dependent on! Setting up the consciousness of independence and mastering the independent ability to survive, you will face a bright future.
