参考范文
“Life is all about choices. How many people are trapped in their everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent? To have a better life we must keep choosing how we're living.” The remark means that it's up to you to choose how you're living. 1
It's absolutely true that life is all about choices. 2 You can choose a mediocre life. But unfortunately, a mediocre life leaves you trapped in everyday habits: part numb, part frightened, part indifferent and you spend vainly the best days of your life achieving little. When you realize you should seize the day, it may come too late and leave regret. 3
As we all know, life is most precious to us and everyone lives only once. What will we do to make better choices in life? As far as I'm concerned, attitude is everything. Therefore, choose a positive attitude towards life, with which we don't waste our youth in worthless pursuits. We will not regret if we don't waste our life. 4
“生活处处是选择。很多人陷入日常的生活习惯中:些许麻木,些许害怕,些许漠然。为了拥有更好的生活,我们必须不断选择如何生活。”这番话是说如何生活取决于你自己的选择。
毋庸置疑,人生充满选择。你可以选择一种平庸的生活。但不幸的是,平庸生活使你受困于日常的生活习惯,变得些许麻木,些许害怕,些许漠然,你虚度最好的时光,收获寥寥。当你意识到你应把握今朝的时候,可能就悔之晚矣!
众所周知,人生对我们来说是最珍贵的,每个人都只活一次。那么我们怎样为人生做出更好的选择呢?就我而言,态度决定一切。因此,选择用积极的态度面对人生,不把青春浪费在无用的追求上。如果我们没有虚度光阴,我们就不会留下遗憾。

关于冒险
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on venture by commenting on the saying, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained .” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

3. 第三段呼应前文,再次强调培养冒险精神的重要性。
参考范文
A famous saying goes like this: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”, which means we can gain nothing if we venture nothing. It shows that the adventurous spirit is an essential quality for people to achieve success. A person who never takes any risk or tries new things will never make any progress. 1
Nowadays, there are more and more adventures like bungee jumping and rock climbing, which enjoy great popularity especially among the youth. 2 Some people argue that such activities are too risky so they never venture to try, while 3 others insist that these activities do more good than harm and should be encouraged. As for me, I agree with the latter. In my opinion 4 , people can develop courage and willpower by embarking on adventures. If a person is afraid of risks or new things, he will never experience the joy of life or make any progress. If the leaders of a country are fearful of taking risks, the country will cease to advance.
In conclusion 5 , adventures bring us many rewarding benefits. As long as we take everything into consideration and make full preparation before taking risks, we can minimize the dangers and maximize the benefits.
有一句名言是这样说的:“不入虎穴,焉得虎子”,意思是说,没有冒险就没有收获。这表明冒险精神是人们获得成功的必备品质。一个从不敢承担风险或尝试新事物的人永远不会有任何进步。
如今,越来越多的冒险活动尤其受年轻人的欢迎,比如蹦极和攀岩。有些人认为这些活动风险太大,因而从不愿意尝试,而另一些人则坚持认为这种活动利大于弊,应该鼓励。就我而言,我赞同后者。在我看来,人们可以通过参加冒险活动锻炼勇气和毅力。一个害怕冒险或尝试新事物的人永远体会不到生活的乐趣,也永远不会取得任何进步。如果一个国家的领导人害怕冒险,这个国家也只会止步不前。
总之,冒险活动会带给我们很多好处。只要我们在每次冒险前有全方位的考量并做好充分准备,就一定能将危险降至最低,并得到最大收获。
范文点评
1. 开篇简要说明谚语的含义及寓意。
2. 自然过渡,说明当今社会不乏冒险活动,并指出很多年轻人很喜欢这些冒险。
3. 采用对比论证的方法,引出人们对冒险的不同看法,紧扣作文话题。
4. 第二段后半部分明确表达自己的观点:参加冒险活动利大于弊。
5. 末段总结全文,重申观点,并指出我们应对冒险做好充分的准备。
要点用法
venture v. 冒险
essential adj. 基本的,必要的
adventure n. 冒险,冒险活动
bungee jumping 蹦极
popularity n. 流行
willpower n. 意志力,毅力
rewarding adj. 有益的
minimize v. 减到最小
maximize v. 使……最大化
句法点评
1. Some people argue that such activities are too risky so they never venture to try, while others insist that these activities do more good than harm and should be encouraged.
这是一个复合句。while在句中作并列连词用,意思为“而,然而”,表对比,相当于but,但含有对比的意思。
2. As long as we take everything into consideration and make full preparation before taking risks, we can minimize the dangers and maximize the benefits.
关于信任
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on trust by commenting on the remark, “We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect .” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

2. 第二段从人际交往方面阐述信任的重要性。
3. 第三段从构建和谐社会的角度阐述信任的重要性。
参考范文
“We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.” 1 The remark, which reveals the great harm suspicion does, stresses the importance of trust. 2
I agree that trust is indispensable to maintaining genuine relationships among people. 3 Everyone in the world cannot live without interacting with other people. Otherwise, life would be dull and meaningless. Trust is the basic foundation for people to communicate with each other. Without trust, we cannot get along well with others, let alone cooperate with them.
In addition, I maintain that trust is also essential to our country's efforts to build a harmonious society. 4 Our country is dedicated to building a world full of honesty, friendship, and justice, where people are able to engage in fair and open competition. Harmonious society calls for trust and honesty as well as the strong power to eradicate the crisis of confidence partly resulting from the dishonesty of some manufacturers and businessmen who make or sell shoddy goods in pursuit of profit. In the long run, they will lose potential customers and even cause their companies to shut down. They pose a great threat to the building of a harmonious society.
“我们总是因为要找出我们怀疑的东西,而付出怀疑的代价。”这句话揭示了怀疑所带来的极大的危害,也强调了信任的重要性。
信任对于维系人们之间真正的感情是不可或缺的,我同意这种观点。世上的每一个人都不能不与别人接触,否则,生活就会变得乏味而没有意义。信任是人们相互沟通的基础。没有信任,我们就不能与他人融洽相处,更别提与人合作了。
同时,我认为信任对于我国构建和谐社会的努力也必不可少。我们的国家正致力于构建一个充满真诚、友善和公正的世界,一个人们可以公平、公开竞争的世界。和谐社会需要信任和诚实,需要强大力量从根本上消除信任危机,而这种信任危机部分上是由一些为追求利益制造或销售不合格产品的商家或生产商的不诚信造成的。从长远来看,他们会失去潜在的顾客,甚至导致公司的倒闭。他们是构建和谐社会的一大威胁。
范文点评
1. 开篇引用引语,意在引出话题。
2. 准确阐释引语含义,意在引出中心思想。
3. 阐述关于信任的第一个观点:信任对于维系人们之间真正的感情不可或缺。
4. 阐述关于信任的第二个观点:信任对于构建和谐社会必不可少。
要点用法
suspicion n. 怀疑;嫌疑
suspect v. 怀疑;猜想
be indispensable to 对……不可或缺
genuine relationship 真正的关系
dull adj. 乏味的,无趣的
let alone 更不必说
be dedicated to doing sth. 致力于做某事
harmonious society 和谐社会
call for 要求,需要
crisis of confidence 信任危机
in the long run 从长远来看
pose a great threat to 对……构成很大威胁
句法点评
1. In addition, I maintain that trust is also essential to our country's efforts to build a harmonious society.
此句中,I maintain that...意为“我认为……”,类似的句式还有:I hold that..., I assume that...等。
2. In the long run, they will lose potential customers and even cause their companies to shut down.
此句中in the long run表示“从长远来看”,是逻辑性修饰语,使得观点的表述具有更强的逻辑性。cause sb. to do sth.意为“导致某人做某事”,应多积累相关表达方式。

2. 第二段承上启下,通过疑问的方式提出如何做到把握好自己的过去、现在和将来。
3. 第三段通过“总—分—总”的方式分层论述了如何把握好自己的过去、现在和将来。
参考范文
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” The remark means that every day is closely related to another, for yesterday leaves us valuable experience that we can take advantage of for today and tomorrow; today is the time that we learn from yesterday and experience new life, making good preparations for tomorrow; tomorrow is the future that we are eager to experience based on yesterday and today. It informs us that we should make our past, present and future days worthwhile. 1
What will we do to make it so? 2
From my own perspective, seize every day. 3 Yesterday is a foundation. You may say yesterday is history, but if you seize it, there's no regret and you lay solid foundation for future days. 4 Today is action. You may say today is too short but that is the reality. If you seize today, you'll have done what you should do and make progress, going close to success. 4 Tomorrow is a plan. You may say tomorrow is changeable but it is mysterious, full of hope. Although we don't know what will happen tomorrow, we can make good preparations for greater success. 4 Seize every day and you'll make the past, present and future days worthwhile. 5
“借鉴昨天,活在今天,憧憬明天。”这句话是说,每天都紧密相连,因为昨天留下的是我们可用于今天和明天的宝贵经验;今天是我们借鉴昨天、体验新生活的时间,并为明天做好准备;明天是建立在昨天和今天之上,我们渴望去体验的将来时间。这启示我们应该把握好过去、现在和将来。
如何把握好过去、现在和将来?
我个人的观点是:抓住每一天。昨天是基础。你也许会说,昨天已成历史,但是你若抓住了昨天,就不会有遗憾,也就为将来奠定了坚实的基础。今天是行动。你或许会说今天太短暂了,但它却是现实。如果你抓住了今天,你就完成了应该做的事情并取得进步,逐步走向成功。明天是计划。你或许会说,明天变化无常但它却是神秘的,充满了希望。尽管我们不知道明天会发生什么,但我们可以做好准备,争取更大的成功。抓住每一天,你就把握了过去、现在和将来。
范文点评
1. 开篇简要描述话语的含义,同时结合话语的含义引出文章的论点:应把握好自己的过去、现在和将来。
2. 自然过渡,用疑问的方式提出如何把握好自己的过去、现在和将来,紧扣作文话题。
3. 第三段首句提纲挈领,明确说明“抓住每一天”就会把握好自己的过去、现在和将来。
4. 分三个层次论证了自己的观点,论据充分,论证有力。
5. 末句总结全文,再次强调了论点。

mysterious adj. 神秘的
句法点评
1. The remark means that every day is closely related to another, for yesterday leaves us valuable experience that we can take advantage of for today and tomorrow; today is the time that we learn from yesterday and experience new life, making good preparations for tomorrow; tomorrow is the future that we are eager to experience based on yesterday and today.
本句是一个较复杂的句子,that引导的从句有宾语从句that every day is closely related to another,有定语从句that we can take advantage of for today and tomorrow和that we are eager to experience. 也有同位语从句that we learn from yesterday and experience new life,同时还用到了现在分词短语making good preparations和过去分词短语based on yesterday and today,句式结构复杂多样。
2. Seize every day and you'll make the past, present and future days worthwhile.
本句为“祈使句+ and +陈述句”的结构,其中的祈使句的功能相当于条件状语从句,如本句可以转化为If you seize every day, you'll make the past, present and future days worthwhile。

How I Finance My College Education
Several years ago new tuition fee policy was put into practice and college students were asked to pay a certain sum of money. And now, all the students, no matter what subjects they are engaged in, must pay for tuition.
There are many ways for a student to finance his college education. Most students ask their parents to pay the tuition fee and pay for their books, accommodation and other cost. A student can also apply for the scholarship. Most universities set up scholarship to offer money to the poor students who do well in entrance exams and reward those who do well in entrance exams and reward those who work well at university. A student can also apply for the low-interest loans. In addition to the above, taking part-time jobs is also a common way for a college student to get money to pay part of his tuition and fees.
So far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer earning the scholarship. This means I must study hard and be a top student, which has always been my goal. After all, the task of a student is to study. And in addition to solving my financial problems, getting the scholarship can also prove my ability and is good for my future.
如何解决大学学费
几年前实行了新的学费政策,要求大学生交纳一定数额的学费。现在,所有的学生,不管他们从事什么科目,都必须付学费。
对于一个学生来说,有很多方法来资助他的大学教育。大多数学生要求他们的父母支付学费,并支付他们的书籍,住宿和其他费用。学生也可以申请奖学金。大多数大学设立奖学金是为了资助那些在入学考试中成绩优异的贫困学生,奖励那些在入学考试中表现优异的学生,奖励那些在大学里表现出色的学生。学生也可以申请低息贷款。除此之外,兼职也是大学生赚钱支付部分学费的常见方式。
就我而言,我更愿意获得奖学金。这意味着我必须努力学习,成为尖子生,这一直是我的目标。毕竟,学生的任务是学习。除了解决我的经济问题,获得奖学金也能证明我的能力,对我的未来也有好处。
On the Importance of a Name
A name is the representation of a person or an entity. It plays an important role in social recognition, just as the old saying goes: a thing is the entity of a name. However, people have diverse opinions on the importance of a name. Some people say that name is important, while the others maintain the other way round. But I think name is of great importance because it is the symbol that distinguishes one thing or person from the others.
We cannot deny the importance of a name, be it for a person or a thing. In the world today, no one can live without identification because they must get social recognition, and name is the symbol of the identification. Once a person or a thing gets social recognition, people will remember their names, and they will get further improvement. Besides, a good name will bring people some nice association. A person with a special name may be easily accepted by a group or a community because of the deep impression the name leaves.
As for companies or products, a name is also vitally important. Years ago, a computer company spent millions of dollars for the name “Acer”. Since then, the company caught the attention of potential customers and became one of giants in the field. However, another company was facing bankruptcy, for the name of its product implies unfavorable meaning thus cannot be sold out. Can we say that name is not important?
A name may affect the whole life of a person, and a name may also influence the future of a company and its products. Therefore, we must treat names carefully.
参考翻译
论名字的重要性
名字是一个人或一个实体的代表。它在社会认同中起着重要的作用,正如俗话所说:物是名的实体。然而,人们对名字的重要性有不同的看法。有些人说名字很重要,而另一些人则相反。但我认为名字是非常重要的,因为它是区分一件事或一个人的符号。
我们不能否认名字的重要性,不管是对一个人还是一件事。在当今世界,没有人可以没有认同感,因为他们必须得到社会的认同,而名字是认同的象征。一旦一个人或一件事得到社会认可,人们就会记住他们的名字,他们会得到进一步的改善。此外,一个好名字会给人们带来一些美好的联想。一个人或一个团体的名字很容易给人留下深刻的印象。
至于公司或产品,名字也是至关重要的。几年前,一家电脑公司花了数百万美元为“宏碁”命名。此后,公司吸引了潜在客户的注意,成为该领域的巨头之一。然而,另一家公司正面临破产,因为其产品的名称意味着不利的含义,因此无法出售。我们能说名字不重要吗?
一个名字可能影响一个人的一生,一个名字也可能影响一个公司及其产品的未来。因此,我们必须谨慎对待名字。

Five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the negro is still not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languishing in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. so we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that
So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the negro. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.
