Good evening，ladies and gentlemen，

　　 My name is Li Hua．I have the honor of being your guide tomorrow. Now I'd like to give you a brief introduction to our tour．　　

　　 We’ll meet at the school gate at 8：00 am and set off by bus．As the old Chinese saying goes，“He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man”．The first place we will visit is that world famous spot．When you are standing on the wall，you will feel amazed at this man-made wonder on earth．After two hours there，we’ll leave for a snack street where varieties of foods will be waiting for you to try．The afternoon tour will begin from the Summer Palace at about 2：00 pm．You can take a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden and feel free to look around there until 4：00 pm．In the evening，we will watch a wonderful Beijing opera which will let you experience a real Chinese culture．After the show, we’ll return to the school at about 9：00 pm．

　　 Thanks for your listening and I hope you can enjoy your tour tomorrow．

(北京市西城区2009届高三第一次模拟考试--开放作文)

请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。

　In your English class．the teacher shows the picture below and asks the class to discuss it．Your classmates have different understandings．

Look at title picture carefully and tell the class how YOU undemtand it·

[参考范文]

As we can see from the picture，two people，father and son，are talking to each other．The

Boy, standing on the ground，is looking up at his father，slightly scared，while his father, seated high on a big Chinese character“fu”，meaning“father” ，is shouting to his son．

　　 Such a situation seems fairly common in our society．When talking to each other, father and son are not in equal positions. Fathers simply tell their sons what to do rather than listen patiently．Therefore，sons will have few chances to share their own ideas or open up to their fathers．They often look up to their fathers with respect，fearing that they might not live up to fathers’expectations．

　　 1 hope our parents will listen to us more instead of just giving us orders．

In your English class，you are asked to describe the following picture and explain to your classmates how you understand it．

[参考范文]

As we can see in the picture．two men are standing side by side，smiling．They share one characteristics．strong in one am，while weak in the other．I guess they smile because they find someone who can help them accomplish a task that cannot be completed by either of them alone．

　　 Like the two men in the picture，we all have strengths and weaknesses，and what we can do is limited．However，weaknesses don’t necessarily mean failure，but may indicate the possibility of cooperation．By working with others．and making the best use of each other's talents，we can always achieve a better result．

根据下列图中提供的三种交际方式，选出你最喜欢的一种，并陈述理由。

letter　　　　 　telephone　　　 　　　　computer

My favorite way of communication

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

[参考范文]

As we all know, communication has been playing an important part in people’s life. As can be seen in the pictures, there are three ways of communication, of which I like communication by computer most. My reasons are as follows.

　 Firstly, by computer, people can easily send emails to each other at any time and at any place, while it is too slow a way to communicate by writing letters. Moreover, it is easy to lose letters. Secondly, by computer, people can chat to each other face to face, while it is difficult for us to do so on the phone. Finally, surfing on the Internet can provide people varieties of information, which is very convenient and useful to our study as well as to our life. It is really a good way to broaden our horizons and improve people’s understanding of the world.

In a word, communication on the Internet helps bring people all over the world closer.

After class we enjoy all kinds of activities , such as going in for sports , dong experiments or surfing the Internet.

We are extremely happy about the changes in our studies .

[参考范文]

This cartoon tells a miserable story. As you can see, a young man, who is obvious a senior high student, is going away on a trip. As the two Chinese characters on the staircase suggest, the young man has reluctantly given up the coming college entrance examination. Why?

The above things are now quite common in China. In recent years, it's more and more difficult for college graduates to find jobs. Their parents spend a lot of money supporting them in colleges or universities, but their efforts cannot be paid off. So their parents believe it’s no use for their children to go on to college.

I feel sorry for the young man, but I don' t think it's a right decision that he has made, but what can he do? I think the government should take some measures to solve this problem.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　Yours,

Liu Fang

Last weekend, I took our foreign teacher Mr. Brown to the Great Wall, who came to China

for the first time. Having been told about the history of the Great Wall, he was amazed at this

world wonder. He was struck by the beauty of the Great Wall. So I took photos for him, which

would be a good memory for him. At the top, Mr. Brown was so interested in the activity of

protecting the environment that he was eager to join in and signed his name. Only when a Chinese

girl brought back his bag did he realize he had forgotten about it. Mr. Brown expressed his thanks

to her.

　　 Both the Great Wall and the Chinese people impressed him deeply.

　　　 In your English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain to your classmates how you understand it.

[参考范文]

We can see in the picture a man is feeding a chick. In order to get it to grow quickly, the

man puts all the nutritious food into the chick’s mouth without considering whether it can take in

all the food or not.

　　 The picture reflects a common social problem vividly. Many parents, as described in the

picture, try to offer their children much more than they need. For example, though students

should be relaxed after a week’s study, their parents still insist on their going to several weekend

courses, with the result that the students are tired of studies. In my opinion, students should be

allowed to make their own decisions about their studies.

The Problem of‘Three Merits Student’

Professor Wang suggests abolishing the system of‘Three Merits Student’．

[参考范文]

The Problem of　 ‘Three Merits Student’

Professor Wang suggests abolishing the system of 'Three Merits Student'. Many schools pay close attention to students' academic achievements when they elect Three Merits Students. They ignore students' other abilities. In order to become Three Merits Students, a lot of students spend much time on study. Therefore ,they have no time for rest and sports, which greatly affects students' health.

　　 Many people agree with him．They think it is wrong to elect the Three Merits Students in the original way for it can't completely represent the all qualities of the students. It is sided. Besides, their self-esteem is seriously hurt.

　　 On the other hand, there are still a great many people who hold opposite opinions. They think it is an encouragement for the students because study is the most important task to the students.

　　 As far as I'm concerned, schools may elect the best student, but the standard had better be improved. We should praise those students who do well in every aspect in their school life including study, morality, sports and so on.

参考词汇：改革开放the reform and opening – up

[参考范文]

It is 30 years since China carried out the reform and opening up. Great changes have taken place and each part of China can give a clear sign of the rapid development and advance in today’s China.

Take people’s communication for example. In the past, our grandpas had to ask someone who could write for help when they wanted to contact their relatives or friends. As for our fathers, they kept in touch with each other by writing letters by themselves. With the development of science and technology, we can communicate with each other anytime and anywhere by mobile phone.

As a new generation, we are so lucky living in the new century. We’re proud of our country and its achievements. So we should cherish the happiness of today’s life. Meanwhile, we should put more effort and make more contributions to our beloved motherland. We believe she will become stronger and stronger.

　　　 词数：100左右。

　　　 参考词汇：一次性木筷 disposable chopsiticks

[参考范文]

It is common to see disposable chopsticks used in restaurants. Many people like to use them because they think it is convenient to use them and they are clean.

As a matter of fact, they bring us more disadvantages than advantages. To begin with, it is a waste of wood. It is reported that a large quantity of trees are cut down to make chopsticks in our country every year, doing harm to the environment . Besides, disposable chopsticks are not clean at all because they are roughly made by small factories. So I think we should stop using them. The government should take action to prevent factories from producing such chopsticks and pay more attention to forest conservation.

Mrs. Wang decided to make a trip to Beijing. When she told her son about her decision, he was so overjoyed that he jumped up and down. They began to pack their luggage. When the day came, the son became worried, for nobody would take care of his flower. It would die if it was not watered. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind. “Mum,” he said to his mother, “We can use a piece of cloth to take care of the flower.” He showed his mother what he meant by putting one end of the cloth into the basin, full of water, and other end into the flowerpot.

Five days later, when they came back from Beijing, the flower was still alive and even started to blossom.
