试卷答案
1.Nowadays parents drive their children to school and back home, which causes a heated discussion. People have different opinions about this phenomenon.
On the one hand, some people favor taking private cars. Half of the supporters believe that more valuable time can be saved for students to get enough sleep. 30% think children can rest comfortably in their own cars. About 15% consider it safer than taking other transport. The rest think it offers more chances for parents to communicate with their children.
On the other hand, others hold converse opinions. Most people point out that it results in more traffic jams, especially near the school in rush hours. And 30% think that driving kids to and from school will undoubtedly add to the parents’ burdens such as time, energy and expenses. Still, there are 15% worrying that in the long term children may be more dependent on their parents, which does no good to them.
2.Hi, John,
You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I’d like to tell you something about it.
The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China and the most important and enjoyable one for Chinese people. It is a good chance for people to get together with family members, relatives and friends.
Houses are cleaned and red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunion of friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show.
Best wishes,
Li Ming

I still remember how I became a good table tennis player.
The first day I went to high school, I saw some of my classmates playing table tennis. Amazed at how skillful they were, I was determined to be just as good. Later on, I often watched them carefully to learn their techniques. Then I kept practicing until I became confident enough to challenge the good players. At the end of the term I became one of the best players in my class.
I am really proud of this experience, because it helps me realize that we all can fulfill our potential and achieve our goals through hard work. It also helps me better understand the proverb "Practice makes perfect.”

Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”.
Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.
Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.
What I want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.
Thank you for your listening!

In the picture, four people are trying to fill a vat with water. Two men are carrying water while two others are pouring water into the vat. However, with so many loopholes at the bottom of the vat, they’ll never store any water, because no one tries to mend the holes.
It reminds me of the problems in our study. While studying, we always try to read more books and do more exercises. However, we seldom pay attention to the mistakes we’ve made, nor do we try to correct them. Therefore, “holes” are left. Day by day, there appear more and more “holes”, or rather the shortages. No matter how many books we’ve read, we have never mastered any knowledge because they have leaked out through the hole.
So we should pay attention to the mistakes we’ve made and the holes we have in our study. Only in this way can we learn much knowledge and fill up our mind with it.
