One possible version:

Recently we has had a class meeting whose topic is “success”. Views vary from person to person.

Some of the students think that making a lot of money means success, because with money you can do a lot of things and also money brings social status. Some of the students hold the view that success means becoming a famous person like a super star or a sports star because they are well known and their parents are proud of them. However, the other students think that making a contribution to society means success. The reason is that only a few people can be millionaires or become famous. As ordinary people, they should do what they can to serve the people.

In my opinion, there is no standard for success. So long as we do our best and achieve our goals, then that is success.

不同的人对幸福有不同的看法，有的人认为幸福就是被家人或朋友围绕，有的人认为幸福就是获得成功，而对于已经受伤或身体有残疾的人来说，幸福仅仅就是一天没有痛苦或能够幸存下来，你对幸福的看法是什么呢，请以What is happiness to you? 写一篇120词左右的短文。

注意：

简单描述上述几种看法。

谈谈你的观点和感受。

What is happiness to you?

What is happiness to you? Different people have different answers. To some people, happiness is being surrounded by family and friends. To others, happiness means achieving success in something, such as meeting a goal. To those who have been injured or struggle with a physical disability, happiness can simply mean a day without pain or just being alive.　

　　 As for me, happiness means many things. Firstly, as a student, getting good results in exams is happiness. And then going to an ideal university is of course another kind of happiness. But most of all, good health of myself and my family is the most important part of happiness. Everyone has different ideas about what makes them happy. I hope everyone can get their happiness.

目前染发是年轻人的时尚，究竟中学生应不应该染发呢？请你写一篇100字左右的文章发表自己的看法。内容包括：

描述现象；很多中学生学年轻人染发(color the hair)

染发的两种相反观点和理由；

你的观点。

One possible version:

　 Nowadays many young people color their hair, and a lot of middle school students also follow the fashion.

　 Can we students color our hair? There are different opinions about it. Some think, as a member of 21st, they should fallow the fashion. And coloring hair can also make them look cuter. What’s more, that can highlight their flaunting of personality. However, others think it is quite wrong. They think our Chinese have black hair, and why must we change it? We can learn many things from foreigners, but needn’t worship them blindly.

In my opinion, though everyone has right to love beauty, we have many other ways to pursuit to beauty, and studying is our main task, so we should try to concentrate on it.

Dear Annie,

I’m writing to you for your advice. There is a factory near my home. It often pours the waste into the river and gives our poisonous gases. This results in unsafe drinking water. It also has a bad effect on the people’s health. I can’t stand seeing this. I want to ask them to cut back on production, and stop them from giving out waste water and poisonous gases any longer, but my father is the manager. This will make him lose his job. Also, he has apologized to the people for this and given some money to them. I want to forgive him, but I don’t think he is right. What should I do?

　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Your sincerely,

_________________________________________________________________________________

One possible version:

　　　 Our class held a discussion about whether music should be played during a class break or not. The opinions are divided. Most of us agree that music should be played. As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. Besides, music brings us relaxation after hard study, which reduces the tiredness. Listening to music also makes us feel happy and nice. On the other hand, some students don’t think so. In their opinion, we can’t get the expected result by playing music, as the class break time is too short. What is needed most during the class break is peace instead of noise produced by the music.

One possible version:

In my opinion, the Internet is helpful rather than harmful as someone else thinks. As is

known to all, the Internet is playing a more and more important part in our daily life. On the

Internet, we can read news at home and abroad and get as much information as we can. We can

send e-mails to our family as well as to our friends. We can also attend the net school, read many books and even teach ourselves English. We can also enjoy music, watch matches and play computer games on the Internet. We can even do shopping on line. Besides, we can improve our ability to operate the computer.

But we should not be given to the Internet, or we'll get our life and study destroyed. Besides, we should keep off the harmful websites. Anyhow, this doesn't prevent the Internet becoming our friend. We can't throw away the apple because of the core, can we?

　 My name is Zhang Hua. I read your advertisement in yesterday’s newspaper. When I was in middle school, I liked English very much. I was good at English. I was often praised by my English teacher because I did well in English. Since I graduated from middle school, I have been teaching myself English in my spare time.

Dear Headmaster,

I’m writing to make some suggestions for improving the dining conditions of our school.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Li Hua

Dear Headmaster,

I’m writing to make some suggestions for improving the dining conditions of our school. Because too many students have lunch in the dining room and therefore it takes quite a long time to queue. Worse still, some even occupy seats for their friends or classmates, which makes quite a few students unable to find tables to sit at.

Immediate measures must be taken to solve the problem. First, it must be forbidden to occupy seats. Second, students in different grades can take turns to have lunch. For example, those in higher grades can have lunch 10 minutes late. Anyway, the best way is to build a new dining room, if possible.

There are my suggestions and I hope they could mean something for better future of our dining conditions.

Looking forward to your reply.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Yours
