The seven Cs of a good letter

What is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main ones. Don’t try to be complicted(复杂的). Don’t try to impress(留下深刻印象)your reader. You will be successful if you follow these seven Cs.

Clear. Use short, direct sentences.       Just imagine that the reader is right there with you .Above all, don’t use an introduction.

Correct.          Don’t guess, even for spelling. Refer to your dictionary. If you need to , check a reference(参考) book too. Use them as much as you need to.

Complete(完整的). Don’t scatter(使分散) our points.       This is good organization too.

Courteous(礼貌的). Be friendly rather than overly casual. Present your information nicely even if you are complaining about something . In all letters, treat others as you want them to treat you.

Concise(简洁的). Make each point as clearly and briefly as you can.

Conversational(会话的). This is really the secret of good writing.     .  Such a letter has a natural, friendly tone(语气). Let your personality come through naturally.

Considerate(体贴的;考虑周到的).      Write about what you believe the reader needs or wants to know. Try to be helpful. This will build good feeling towards you.

The seven Cs are about writing letters. But how about school papers? Use the seven Cs. Write as if you are talking to your teacher or professor. You’ll be surprised. You’ll almost instantly become a good writer. And you might even enjoy writing from now on.

Just “talk”to the person

Think of the readers’point of view as you write.

Make them easy to understand.

Include long sentences in your letter.

Make sure what you say is correct.

Writing should not be taken too seriously.

G. Finish one point completely before going on to the next.

  Methods of studying vary; what works   1   for some students doesn’t work at all for others.The only thing you can do is experiment   2   you find a system that does work for you.But two things are sure:  3   else can do your studying for you, and unless you do find a system that works, you won’t although college.Meantime, there are a few rules that   4   for everybody.The hint is “don’t get   5  ”.

  The problem of studying,   6   enough to start with, becomes almost   7   when you are trying to do   8   in one weekend.  9   the fastest readers have trouble   10   that.And if you are behind in written work that must be   11  , the teacher who accepts it   12   late will probably not give you good credit.Perhaps he may not accept it   13  .Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no   14  .Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry won’ t   15   one bit if the history teacher pops a quiz.And many freshmen do get into trouble by spending too much time on one class at the   16   of the others, either because they like one class much better or ?because they find it so much harder that they think, they should   17   all their time to it.  18   the reason, going the whole work for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, if you face this   19  , begin with the shortest and easiest   20  .Get them out of the way and then go to the more difficult, time consuming work.

Most Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.

The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married;  and age 26.2 having a child.

 “There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.

According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______.  

A. has found a full-time job                   

B. has finished his study in university

C. can make money and support himself after completing his education

D. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation

A young man of 24 may be busy ________.  

A. finding a job               B. finding a girl friend

C. making money             D. preparing for his wedding

The underlined word “status” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.

A. position       B. rank        C. level       D. situation

From the passage, we learn that _________.  

A. being grown-up is just a matter of age

B. being grown-up is a process which takes some time

C. all people think completing education means being grown-up

D. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up

The best title for the passage should be “________”   

A. It takes a long time to grown up.         

B. Are we grown-up yet?

C. Getting married means being grown-up.   

D. Completing education means being grown-up.

阅读下面的新闻报道,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

News report

Four young female college students died Friday after falling or jumping from a blazing room on the sixth floor of Shanghai Business School. Witness said one woman who jumped appeared to be aiming for bushes on the ground, but missed and landed on concrete. Witnesses said the other three were desperately trying to climb to another room amid roaring flames when they fell to the concrete paving.

The fire broke out in Room 602 of the seven-floor dormitory at the school’s downtown campus on Zhongshan Road West, just after 6 a.m. The fire was caused by an electrical device used to heat water. This had ignited flammable objects, police said late Friday afternoon. After receiving reports of the fire at 6:12 a.m, police, firefighters and ambulances were quickly on the scene. The fire was extinguished by 6:30 a.m., according to the school.

There is only one public toilet on each floor to get water and fire extinguishers in the dormitory were outdated, students said.  (SZ-Agencies)
