　　Directions: Two months ago you got a job as an editor for the magazine Car Manufacturer. But now you find that the work is not what you expected. You decide to quit. Write a letter to your boss, Mr. Wang, telling him your decision, stating your reason, and making an apology.

　　Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter; use Li Ming instead.

　　Dear Mr. Wang,

　　Im writing this letter to inform you of my decision to resign from my current position. Although I appreciate the opportunity of having worked here for two months, I do not feel the job suits me.

　　There are several reasons why I have to quit my job. First of all, I find that what I learned at university cannot meet the requirements of my job. Therefore, I plan to study further and decide to prepare for the entrance exams for graduate schools. In addition, I am more interested in communicating with people instead of the words. In the end, the work pressure is too much for me, which has affected my health. I need more time to adapt myself to working under such pressure.

　　Im sorry for any inconvenience my resignation may cause. However, I do hope you will approve of it and Im looking forward to your reply.

　　Directions:: You see many instances of waste on campus. Write an open letter to all your fellow students stating the instances of waste you witness, telling the harms of waste and calling on them to reduce waste and save resources.

　　Dear Fellow Students,

　　As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on.

　　The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some students dependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development. If they dont learn to support themselves, they will be useless people when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not least, there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help.

　　Since our country is trying to build a conservation-oriented society, we university students should set examples for the society to reduce waste and save natural resources. First of all, we should refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. Whats more, we must form the habit of saving resources, from water to money. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus.

　　Writing 5 统计图表分析

　　Directions: The following table gives statistics showing the aspects of quality of life in five countries. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information in the table below.

　　CountryGNP per head Daily calorie supply per headLife expectancy at birth Infant mortality rates

　　Bangladesh140187740132

　　Bolivia570208650124

　　Egypt69029505697

　　Indonesia58022965187

　　USA1316036527412

　　The table uses four broad economic indicators to show the standard of living in five selected countries, including both the most developed nation in the world and some of the less developed nations. There is no denying the fact that the USA had much higher quality of life than other countries.

　　As can be clearly seen from the statistics, the USAone of the richest countries in the worldhad the highest GNP and daily calorie intake, the longest life expectancy and the lowest infant mortality rate. The other developing countries had a considerably lower quality of life. Egypt, Indonesia and Bolivia were similar in their range of indicators, with Egypt having the highest quality of life among the three. However, Egypts infant mortality rate was slightly higher than Indonesias, at 97 deaths per 1000 compared to 87 in Indonesia. Bangladesh had by far the lowest quality of life in all the four indicators. Its GNP was only about one-hundredth that of the USA. The figures in terms of the daily calorie supply per head and life expectancy at birth in Bangladesh are the half of those respectively in USA, and its infant mortality rate was 10 times greater.

　　In conclusion, it goes without saying that the four developing countries have to develop a lot more before reaching the same level of quality of life as the USA. At the same time, the USA has the responsibility to help the other countries to develop their economies and improve their peoples living standard.
