【答案解析】
Dear Sir (or Madam),
I have read your advertisement in the newspaper. You mentioned in your advertisement that your instructors are fully qualified and you ensure that learners will be able to swim after one week’s training. Although I can swim a little, yet I am not very confident in the water. So I am interested in taking part in the training course. Fortunately, I have a eight－day holiday from October 1 to October 8. I would like to know when and where the course will be given, and how much the seven－day course costs. Besides, is there anything special that should be prepared or does your company provide everything necessary?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。
In your spoken English class, your teacher shows you the following picture. You are asked to describe the picture and explain how you understand it.
请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。（请将开放作文写在答题卡指定区域内）
【答案解析】Possible versions:
An English proverb has it that “it’s no use crying over the spilt milk”. This picture precisely captures one of such situations—a bottle of milk has been accidentally dropped onto the ground. The reactions of the two individuals in the pictures are totally different. One exclaims “Oh, God, it’s all finished!” whereas the other one is more positive and calm, claiming that “there is still some left.”
There are rich implications underlying this scene. For the same event, two different individuals make two totally different observations and comments. For the pessimistic mind, they tend to give up. Finally, they would blame the failure on others. By contrast, people with an optimistic state of mind would turn the negative into the positive, through efforts. With strong willpower, they would persist to the end, convinced that as long as they keep trying, their hard efforts would pay off. Those are the people who can often succeed where others fail. Obviously, they are the people whom we should try to emulate.
