　　1.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Unity breeds success by commenting on Albert Einsteins famous remark, A snowflake is one of Gods most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together! You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　Unity breeds success

　　I assume that you are familiar with the words of Einstein, who once said, A snowflake is one of Gods most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together! Definitely, A snowflake is easy to melt when it lands on the soil. However, when falling on the ground together, they can create a snow-wrapped world with splendid scene. It is obvious that unity transforms snowflakes vulnerability into strength.

　　Simple as Einsteins remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of unity. why does unity play an indispensable role in our life ? Unity enables us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. In such a competitive world of today, it is not personal strength that the achievement of any course depends on; it condenses the energies of a group. To further demonstrate the importance of unity, I would like to take Chinese Communist Party as a case in point, how could she achieve the victory of Anti-Japanese War if she failed to unite Chinese people of all ethnic groups ?

　　From my perspective, at no time should we ignore the importance of unity. Accordingly，we should foster the consciousness of unity and always bear in mind that unity can create miracles no matter what obstacles we meet. Many hands make light work. John Heywood also once said.

　　我觉你应该对爱因斯坦说过的一句话非常熟悉，叫做一片雪花是上帝最脆弱的创造物之一，但他们抱在一起的时候却令人刮目相看。确实，一片雪花，降落在地，极易融化消失。然而，当很多雪花一起飘落人间，他们足以创造出片银装素裹的美景。很明显，正是团结，将雪花从脆弱变得强大。

　　尽管爱因斯坦的话听起来很简单，但却包含了丰富的人生哲理，并告诉我们团结很重要。为什么团结会在我们的生活当中扮演重要的角色呢?团结可以使我们更顺利地达成目标、更快速地实现梦想。在竞争如此激烈的当今世界，任何事情的成功都无法仅仅依靠一个人的力量，而需要凝结整个团队的力量。为了进一步证明团结的重要性，我想以中国共产党为例，如果中国共产党没有团结各族人民的力量，她怎么可能去的抗日战争的胜利呢?

　　在我看来，我们任何时候都不能忽视团结的重要性。因此，我们应该培养团结的意识，并且永远铭记在心，只要团结，不管遇到什么样的困难，我们都能够创造奇迹。约翰.伍德也曾经说过众人拾柴火焰高。

　　2. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled It Pays to Plan by commenting on the humorous saying, It wasnt raining when Noah built the ark. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　It Pays to Plan

　　It wasnt raining when Noah built the ark. I assume that you are familiar with the humorous and commonly-heard saying. Its still sunny and peaceful when Noah commences building the ark. It is obvious that Noah is planning for the unexpected weather.

　　Simple and humorous as the saying may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of plan. why does plan play an indispensable role in our life ? Making plan will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more detailed plan we make , the more likely we are to make full use of time, enhance our work efficiency make full preparation in advance for unexpected cases. To further demonstrate the importance of unity, I would like to take CEO as a case in point, how could a CEO, the head and decision-maker of a corporation , deal with all sorts of complicated things smoothly if he fails to draw up a detailed plan for routine work ?

　　From my perspective, at no time should we ignore the importance of making plans. Accordingly，we should draw up detailed plans before we start to do anything and do things as planned . He who fails to plan, plans to fail. A famous philosopher also once said.

　　诺亚在建造方舟的时候，并没有下雨。我认为你应该很熟悉这句幽默而又耳熟能详的俗语。当诺亚开始建造方舟的时候，还是晴空万里、风和日丽。很明显，诺亚是在为难以预料的天气做了计划。

　　尽管这句俗语听起来简单而又幽默，但是她却包含了大量的生活哲理，并告诉了我们计划的重要性。为什么计划在我们的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢?制定计划能使我们更顺利地达成目标、更快速地实现梦想。我们制定的计划越详细，我们就越有可能充分地利用时间、提高工作效率并为未知的事件提前作好充分的准备。为了记忆不证明计划的重要性，我想用CEO的例子来说，一个企业的领导者和决策者，如果部位日常工作制定详细的计划，如何才能顺利地处理各种复杂的事情呢?

　　在我看来，我们任何时候都不能忽略制定计划的重要性，因此，我们在做任何事情之前都应该制定详细的计划，并尽量按计划执行。一位著名的哲学家也曾经说过一个人如果没有成功地制定计划，他就是在计划着失败。

　　3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled It Pays to be Modest by commenting on Joseph Addisons famous remark Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　It Pays to be Modest

　　Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.Joseph Addison once said. Modesty can not only make someone look beautiful and well-mannered, but also serve as a guarantee to ones excellent character. It is obvious that people tend to lose their fine qualities if they are not modest.

　　Simple as Addisons remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy and informs us of the significance of modesty. why does modesty play an indispensable role in our life ? Modesty can inspire people to achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of modesty, however, I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Benjamin Franklin, who was once a printer of humble origins, attain tremendous achievements in so many fields such as science, politics, literature and navigation if he was simply content with small achievements?

　　We should always bear in mind that modesty will prompt us to go farther. Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments, instead , we need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. Success consists in industry and modesty. A philosopher once said.

　　谦虚不仅仅是一个装饰物，而且是美德的守卫者。约瑟夫.艾迪生曾经说过。谦虚不仅可以使人看起来美丽、彬彬有礼，同时还是优秀品质的保证。很明显，一个人如果不在谦虚，他也很可能会失去优秀品质。

　　艾迪生的话也许听起来简单，但她却包含了大量的生活哲理，并且让我们明白了谦虚的重要性。为什么谦虚在我们的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢?谦虚可以使人获得更大的成功。那些谦虚的人永远都不会满足于当前的成就，取而代之的是，他们会一直努力地工作，来达成更高的目标。相当多的例子可以用来证明谦虚的重要性，但是除了下面这个例子，我想不到更好的了。曾只是个出身卑微的印刷工本杰明.富兰克林，如果他只是满足于小小的成就，他怎么可能后来在科学、政治、文学和航海学等那么多的领域取得巨大的成就呢?

　　我们应该牢记在心，谦虚会让我们走的更远。因此，任何时候我们都不能满足于小小的成就，取而代之的是，我们应该保持一个开放的心态，去接受新事物，吸收新信息，学习新知识并且抓住新机会。成功在于勤奋和谦虚一位哲人也曾经说过。

　　4.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Actions Speak Louder Than Words by commenting on William Penns famous remark A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　Actions Speak Louder Than Words

　　A man, like a watch, is to be valued by this manner of going . I assume that you are familiar with William Penns remark. The watch is crucial for every individual, because it tells the time by moving constantly. It is obvious that a man is of little value if he fail to act like a watch.

　　William Penns remark aims at informing us of the significance of taking actions. We can not emphasize the importance of actions too much. Action will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. To further demonstrate the importance of A, I would like to take a famous Chinese fable story as a case in point. How could the foolish old man who dreamed of removing the mountain in front of his gate finally achieve his dream without taking constant actions ?

　　From my perspective , at no time should we ignore the value of actions. Accordingly, not only should us posses a great dream, but we also should take actions to make it come true. actions speak louder than words. A philosopher also once said.

　　威廉.佩恩(英国海军上将)曾说：一个人的价值，就好比手表，是由他不断的行动来决定的。手表对于每个人都很重要，因为它通过一刻不停的移动来告诉人们时间。很明显，一个人如果不想手表那样的行动，也就价值甚微了。

　　威廉.佩恩的话目的在于告诉我们采取行动的重要性。我们再怎么强调行动的重要性也不为过。行动能使我们更顺利地实现目标、更快速地实现梦想。我们采取的行动越多，我们就越能积累经验、掌握技巧并且接近目标。为了进一步证明行动的重要性，我想以一个著名的中国寓言故事做为例子：梦想移走门前大山的愚公，如果不采取持续的行动，怎么能实现他这个巨大的梦想呢?

　　在我们看来，任何时候我们都不应该忽视行动的价值。因此，我们不仅应该拥有梦想，还需要采取行动去实现。一位哲学家也曾经说过行胜于言。

　　5.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Innovation by commenting on Rosabeth Moss Kanters famous remark Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy of innovation.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　The Importance of Innovation

　　Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy of innovation. I assume that you are familiar with Rosabeth Moss Kanters famous remark. It is obvious that a man who always stick to habit and experience can hardly create new things .

　　Rosabeth Moss Kanters remark aims at informing us of the significance of innovation. Why does innovation play an indispensable role in our life ? innovation can promote the advancement of both individuals and society as a whole. only those who are innovative can make continuous progress and maintain a competitive edge. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of A, and I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Steve Jobs, a genius who changed the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, launch so many powerful electronic products constantly without creative spirit?

　　We should always bear in mind that the consciousness of innovation is of great significance to us all. Hence, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things，using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life. Innovation is the spirit of human beings progress. A philosopher once said.

　　不用心思的习惯性行为是创新的敌人我觉得你对Rosabeth Moss Kanter的这句名言很熟悉。很明显，一个总是遵循习惯和经验的人是很难创造出新事物的。

　　Rosabeth Moss Kanter 的这句名言目的在于告诉我们创新的重要性。为什么创新在我们的生活中扮演如此重要的角色呢? 创新可以促进个人和整个社会的进步。只有那些创新的人才能去的持续的进步并且保持竞争优势。相当多的例子可以用来证明创新的重要性，我想不出比一下这个例子更好的了：斯蒂夫.乔布斯，这个改变了我们的通讯方式、娱乐方式甚至是生活方式的天才，如果没有创新精神，他怎么可能持续地发布功能强大的电子产品呢?

　　我们应该牢记在心，创新对于我们每个人都非常重要。因此，在我们的工作、学习甚至是生活中，我们要养成发现新事物、使用新方法、运用新思维习惯。创新是人类进步的灵魂一位哲学家也曾这么说过。

　　Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others , however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

　　Over the last half century the pace of change in the life of human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations. This has been driven by technological and scientific breakthroughs that are changing the whole way we view the world on an almost daily basis. This means that change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life, and we need to constantly adapt to keep pace with it.

　　Those people who believe they have achieved some security by doing the same, familiar things are living in denial. Even when people believe they are resisting change themselves, they cannot stop the world around them from changing. Sooner or later they will find that the familiar jobs no longer exist, or that the safe patterns of behavior are not longer appropriate.

　　However, reaching the conclusion that change is inevitable is not the same as assuming that change is always for the better. Unfortunately, it is not always the case that new things are promoted because they have good impacts for the majority of people. A lot of innovations are made with the aim of making money for a few. This is because it is the rich and powerful people in our society who are able to impose changes that are in their own interests.

　　In conclusion, I would say that change can be stimulating and energizing for individuals when they pursue it themselves, but that all change, including that which is imposed on people, does not necessarily have good outcomes.

　　Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on young children. Do you agree or disagree?

　　I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too mcuh time spent on the computer every day. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for.

　　However, the main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the hero of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centered and insensitive to others.

　　Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing non-virtual experiences is and important part of a childs development that cannot be provided by a computer.

　　In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology and the Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore it is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment enthusiastically and with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives.

　　I think the main point is to make sure that young children do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual world.

　　Some people believe that children should be allowed to stay at home and play until they are six or seven years old. Others believe that it is important for young children to go to school as soon as possible. What do you think are the advantages of attending school from a young age?

　　In many places today, children start primary school at around the age of six or seven. However, because it is more likely now that both parents work, there is little opportunity for children to stay in their own home up to that age. Instead, they will probably go to a nursery school when they are much younger.

　　While some people think this may be damaging to a childs development, or to a childs relationship with his or her parents, in fact there are many advantages to having school experience at a young age.

　　Firstly, a child will learn to interact with a lot of different people and some children learn to communicate very early because of this. They are generally more confident and independent than children who stay at home with their parents and who are not used to strangers or new situations. Such children find their first day at school at the age of six very frightening and this may have a negative effect on how they learn.

　　Another advantage of going to school at an early age is that children develop faster socially. They make friends and learn how to get on with other children of a similar age. This is often not possible at home because they are the only child, or because their brothers or sisters are older or younger.

　　So overall, I believe that , attending school from a young age is good for most children. They still spend plenty of time at home with their parents, so they can benefit from both environments.

　　In many countries schools have severe problems with student behaviour.

　　What do you think are the causes of this?

　　what solutions can you suggest?

　　Poor student behavior seems to be an increasingly widespread problem and I think that modern lifestyles are probably responsible for this.

　　In many countries, the birth rate is decreasing so that families are smaller with fewer children. These children are often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways. They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of price, and to behave as they please. This means that the children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living comes from.

　　When they got to school age they have not learnt any self control or discipline. They have less respect for their teachers and refuse to obey school rules in the way that their parents did.

　　Teachers continually complain about this problem and measures should be taken to combat the situation. But I think the solution to the problem lies with the families, who need to be more aware of the future consequences of spoiling their children. If they could raise them to be considerate of others and to be social, responsible individuals, the whole community would benefit.

　　Perhaps parenting classes are needed to help them to do this, and high quality nursery schools could be established that would support families more in terms of raising the next generation. The government should fund this kind of parental support, because this is no longer a problem for individual families, but for society as a whole.
