What do you think is the best way to fight against smoking? So for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: The Best Way to Fight agains Public Smoking. You should write at least 120 wors following the outlie given below in Chinese. 北京市政府新近出台了在公共场所的禁烟令； 我认为的最好的禁烟办法（说明理由）。 The Best Way to Fight against Public Smoking Nowadays, public smiling has become a matter of concern. Many passersby are reluctant to inhale the smoke from the smokers around them. The governments had tried many ways to ban smoking in public, but the result was not satisfying. A new citywide smoking ban has been released recently in Beijing. It is said that people could not smoke at public places like venues, medical facilities, schools, cultural heritages sites and etc. I fully agree with this regulation because I think it is the most evvective way to fight against smoking now in China. First of all, banning smoking in public protects the health of nonsmokers. As everyone knows, smoking is harmful to one’s health. It causes many diseases such as lung cancer. Smokers, of course, should take the full responsibility for their voluntary choice. However, it is not fair for nonsmokers when they have to bear the smell of smoke and later the diseases caused by others’ smoking. Another benefit is that it deters kids from becoming smokers. These regulations are basically sending a message that smoking in public places is no longer socially acceptable, and it decreases the appeal of smoking to adolescents. Kids’ perceptions of how many people are smoking are a major factor in whether they decide to smoke. In my view, the smoking ban will be the best method to reduce smoking.

Your composition should be no less than 120 words. Remember to write your composition on the Answer Sheet I clearly and neatly . 网上购物是随着信息的发展而出现的新事物，而且越来越深入人们生活的各个方面。 网上购物给人们带来了很多方便，但是也存在很多潜在的危害消费者利益的因素。 请结合实际谈谈消费者应该如何在网上购物的过程中保护自己的权益。 Online Shopping With the development of technology, online shopping has become popular in people’s daily life. As many of us might have witnessed, more people are buying products through the Internet. And to facilitate online purchase stores provide pictures of their products together with other illustrations on the websites. Besides, online products rang from small items such as clothes and books to large ones like computers. Undoubtedly, online shopping has brought us many conveniences. Yet, its potential dangers to the consumer could not be ignored. One possible risk is that consumers might not get the exact product they want because the information provided might not be enough or reliable. For a simple example, a consumer who wants to buy a pair of shoes might end up getting a pair with desired style but unfit sizes. After all, people have to try themselves when buying clothes or shoes. Moreover, if consumers do not pay attention to the credibility of online stores, they might get cheated. Therefore, consumers should firstly be aware of the credibility of an online store. Secondly, people should not jump on the bandwagon because not all online shopping brings about convenience. Instead, they have to make their own judgment as to the kind of products that could be bought online. Thus, they could avoid possible trouble causing by inadequate or inaccurate information provided by an online store.

My parents and I are pleased to have you in our home and we will try to help you to adapt to the life, and possibly the study as well. I am sure you will not feel lonely. Let me first describe our apartment and its surroundings to you so that you may feel more familiar when you come. My family lives in an apartment on the 16th floor of a residential building in a community surrounded by several universities. Our apartment has a living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a balcony. You will be staying in our guest room. It faces east, having sunshine during the whole morning. Our apartment is close to the university where you will study. And on the way to the university, there are a coffee house, and several restaurants, some of which serve western food. My parents and I do not have lunch at home. So you can either have lunch in the university dining hall, or at the restaurants outside. We will prepare dinner at home. Living in this neighborhood is safe and convenient. So don’t worry too much about it. I want to remind you of the weather in this city. It’s hot in summer and cold in winter. So please bring with you enough clothes when you come in late August. By the way, autumn is the best season to visit the city. If you have any question, please write to me. I will be glad to help. Test 4 Part I Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Li Feng who is going to reply to your sister Li Hong (who is in high school) on how to study English. Write to her to give her some suggestions based on your own experience. Please follow the outline given below in Chinese:: 学习英语很重要。 简要介绍你的英语学习经验。 鼓励她学好英语。 Dear Li Hong, I am so pleased to hear from you and notice that you are paying great attention to English learning. As you may have felt, learning English has become increasingly important, even though it is not your major. Don’t be surprised. Just think about the need to communicate with foreign experts in the future work, or the need to read information and materials in English in your future work. Actually, learning English also provides an access to another culture. That being said, I would like to share with you my own experience of how to learn English. The most important thing in learning English, I believe, is to learn to use it. It means that English learning should not be regarded as an isolated learning activity in classrooms. It should be integrated into your daily life. In fact, more opportunities are presented to you in our everyday life. First, it provides more up-to-date language usages. Second, it gives you the context of language usage. After all, language is about communication. Thus, to learn to use it in real situations will help you better master it. Therefore, you should grasp every opportunity of using English. Moreover, you should also be aware of the learning that might occur in our daily life. For example, when you notice a brand name, or when you watch a foreign movie, try to identify useful expressions or usages. Of course, learning English is not easy. However, the process is full of fun. So long as you make efforts and find your ways, you will surely learn it well. Test 5 Part I Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Living on the campus or off the campus?. You should write at least 120 words following the instructions given below in Chinese: 国外很多大学生都选择在校外租房，但也有很多学生还是愿意住在校园内。假设你是一个留学生，谈谈你的选择和原因。 If I studied abroad in a university, I would choose to live with a local family outside but near the campus. Choosing to live off the campus is based on the following considerations. First of all, living in a local family provides me the opportunity to communicate with native people and thus to get to be more familiar with their language and culture. After all, when one is going abroad to study, one has to learn its language and culture. And in both aspects, living with a local family outside campus is better. Secondly, living outside campus makes it possible for me to have more privacy than living in dormitories on campus. I can have my own room and my own timetable while most of those have to be compromised in dormitories. Thirdly, living with a family can be more colorful. For example, I can watch TV and cook with them. Dormitories in universities might provide fewer facilities such as those. No doubt living on campus has its advantages. For example, one can have closer access to school library and other important learning resources. That is why I emphasized the distance at the beginning. Although I choose living outside campus, I do not want to be too far away from campus for the reason mentioned above. Test 6 Part I Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:Graduate School or Work?. You should write at least 120 words following the instructions given below in Chinese: 目前， 越来越多的大学本科生毕业之后选择继续进入研究生院学习。一个重要的原因是工作不太好找。那么你打算在大学毕业之后选择找工作还是准备继续上研究生呢？请就这个问题谈谈你的打算和主要原因。 While increasing large number of students choose to further their study in graduate school immediately after graduation, I plan to go to work after college. This does not mean I do not like learning or I do not want to learn. Rather, I choose to work first so that I can understand better my interests and strength before coming back to graduate school for a targeted learning. Professional experience is an indispensable part in one’s life in that it helps to bridge the gap between what one has been learning and what one plans to do. Although learning is an important preparation for one’s success, one can achieve nothing unless what has been learned is put into practice. After all, the world outside universities is different from and more colorful than that inside schools. One may have plans that are mostly based on imagination rather than reality for most of students who have been learning for more than ten years. Thus, to know the world and one’s own interests and strength, work experience will be crucial. Moreover, work experience can be valuable asset to the graduate school when one decides to come back for further learning. Besides, I believe learning should be goal-oriented. Thus, to pursue further study because of pressure of not being able to find a job and without understanding what one wants to do is not prudent. I plan to go on to graduate study as well, but only after I have several years of working experience. Test 7 Part I Writing Directions: In recent years, China has been suffering a more and more severe employment situation. The government has made every effort to tackle relevant problems. As a countermeasure for employment embarrassment, the central government has called upon college students to become “village officiqals” and many of them respond positively. So for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Graduate Talent “Village Officials”. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 为缓解大学生就业压力，政府号召毕业生去农村做“村官”； 这一举措的积极意义或者消极影响； 我的看法。 Graduate Talent “Village Officials” Nowadays the serious employment situation is getting worse as more and more college students graduate each year in China. In order to cope with this issue, the central government has called upon college graduates to work as “village officials” in rural areas. Undoubtedly, the policy has very active influences on both graduate talents themselves and society. First, as a whole, this policy can alleviate the employment pressure in society. It’s well-known that the policy came as a result of employment embarrassment. Therefore, if some job hunters flow to rural areas, then the rest could have more opportunities and less competition. Second, it is quite beneficial for rural development. Graduate talents are a special group of people with rich knowledge, vigorous body and enterprising spirit. Given a proper position, they can make best use of all their advantages and complete various tasks very easily. Based on that, rural areas could achieve a sustainable and healthy development. Third, this program also gives college students work experience in grassroots organization. It is very important even prerequisite for a political applicant to first work in a grassroots government. In conclusion, I think this policy can not only make use of college students’ advantages and cultivate their ability to work in villages, but also encourage a rapid rural development and give villagers more opportunities to get rich. What’s more, it can heal the urban and rural wealth disparity and make the society more harmonious. Test 8 Part I Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Measure to Relieve Traffic Jam in three paragraphs.

Although it is convenient and enjoyable to own a car, people have to suffer troubles caused by traffic jam. ___________________________________________.

With a sound transportation system, _________________________________. Measure to Relieve Traffic Jam Although it is convenient and enjoyable to own a car, people have to suffer troubles caused by traffic jam. Today, cars are considered as an important transportation means, especially for those who have to commute between their offices in downtown area and their home in the outskirts of the city. However, the convenience and comfort of driving one’s own car have been greatly compromised by traffic jam which might resulted in a long time of waiting on their way. Complaints are growing. Considering the causes of the problem, measures could be taken by the local government in the following aspects. First of all, since it has been found that traffic jam occurs most frequently at the crossings when vehicles are waiting for the traffic light, it is advisable that the mechanism of traffic lights, its duration and its direction, should be adjusted. While at present, a car has to wait for two three turns before it can get through the crossing because there are cars going forward, turning right, and turning left; crossings with terrible traffic jam might consider to allow only two directions in the future. Secondly, most people buy private car due to an undeveloped public transportation system. Therefore, there is a great need to give priority to the development of public transit system including subways and buses. Improved public transit will attract more people and thus diminish the number of private cars in the streets. With a sound transportation system, together with effective transportation guidance and regulation, the problem of traffic jam will be gradually solved. Test 9 Part I Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:Harmonious Dormitory Life in My Mind. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 和谐的大学生宿舍环境很重要； 建设和谐宿舍环境的几点建议； 总结我的观点。 Harmonious Dormitory Life in My Mind A harmonious dormitory life is necessary and important to the students who live there. To learn how to get along with roommates is the first thing students have to deal with at college. In my opinion, a harmonious dormitory life could be achieved in the following ways. First and the most important point is to respect your roommates so that your roommates will respect you. Be king to each other and take care of them if they need. Doing this can help us to create a friendly and warm environment. Second, we have to learn to compromise. For example, if you like to have friends over, but your roommates want to study, take your friends out. Talk about your habits and ask your roommates about theirs. At last, we must learn to communicate. A dormitory is made up of people with differences in habits, character and background, so it is sometimes inevitable for them to run into conflicts. When misunderstanding occurs, we had better try to communicate with each other. Only in this way can we live together harmoniously. It can be concluded that a harmonious and warm dormitory life comes from all members’ cooperation. Only by respect, compromise and communication can we live a harmonious and happy dormitory life. Test 9 Part I Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My Views on College Examination. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: 大学主要用考试来衡量学生的成绩； 考试可能带来的副作用； 我的看法。 My Views on College Examination In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it is efficient, its side effects are also enormous. On the one hand, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully with intent to take examinations. On the other hand, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively. In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
