摒弃胆怯的一面,发掘勇敢的一面
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below.

You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
审题立意
1. 导语解读:要求考生简要描述图画内容,阐释图画的意义并陈述自己从中学到了什么。
2. 漫画解读:图中一个人正被“胆怯”的自己和“勇敢”的自己揪扯着,显然他处于一种内心纠结的状态。在三张表情迥异的面孔上方有一行引自弗兰克的注解文字——“如果你是弱者,你自己乃是你最大的敌人;如果你是勇者,你自己乃是你最佳之友人。”
3. 文章立意:每个人都有“胆怯”的一面,也都有“勇敢”的一面,遇到困难时需要做出选择,此时人们的内心常常会陷入痛苦的挣扎。如果“胆怯”战胜“勇敢”,一个人将变成弱者,易失败;反之,则将变成强者,易成功。因此,人们应该采取“摒弃胆怯的一面,发掘勇敢的一面”的态度来对待人生。
写作思路
1. 第一段简要描述漫画及注解文字,然后提出论点:摒弃胆怯的一面,发掘勇敢的一面。
2. 第二段通过对比论证的方式阐述选择做“勇敢”的自我较之做“胆怯”的自我会让生活变得更加美好:胆怯的人畏惧困难,害怕失败,不敢尝试,容易错失机遇,加之除了困难本身,他自己成了最大的障碍,则弱者更弱;而勇敢的人不畏惧困难,大胆接受挑战,善于把握机遇,则强者更强。
3. 第三段呼应文章论点,再次强调“摒弃胆怯的一面,发掘勇敢的一面”是一种积极的人生态度,更容易让自己看到生活的美好。
参考范文
As is depicted in the picture, a man is tussling with two of his selves: one is called timidity, and the other is called courage. Above his struggling faces, there is a famous saying by Frank who suggested that, “You are your greatest enemy if you are a coward; but if you are brave, you are your greatest friend.” 1 According to his wisdom, we can tell that we should abandon the timid side of ourselves and explore the courageous one. 2
Firstly 3 , timid people refuse to make an attempt for fear of failures, which will result in missing opport-unities to development. Secondly 3 , they have to overcome the inner barrier before solving the real problem, which is like an evil enemy hindering them from achieving success. However 4 , courageous people, never afraid of failures, are pleased to take up any challenges. In addition 3 , without the negative psychological influence, it would be as though they had a good friend who would give them a big hand.
All in all, we will definitely taste more happiness of life only if we abandon the timid self and explore the courageous one in us. 5
如图所示,一个人正在与另外的两个自己拉扯:一个叫做“胆怯”,而另一个叫做“勇敢”。在他纠结的表情上方,有一句出自弗兰克的至理名言:“如果你是弱者,你自己乃是你最大的敌人;如果你是勇者,你自己乃是你最佳之友人。”从他的警句我们可以认识到,我们应该摒弃自己胆怯的一面,发掘自己勇敢的一面。
首先,懦弱的人因为害怕失败而拒绝尝试,这会使得他们错失发展的机遇。其次,在解决实际问题之前,他们不得不先克服自己的心理障碍,它就像是一个邪恶的敌人使他们无法取得成功。然而,勇敢的人从不惧怕失败,他们乐于接受任何挑战。另外,没有消极心理的干扰,就如同多了一位将助你一臂之力的良友。
总而言之,只要我们摒弃自己胆怯的一面,发掘自己勇敢的一面,就一定会品尝到生活中更多的快乐。
范文点评
1. 开篇简要描述图片的内容,同时结合图片上方的文字准确传达出这幅漫画的寓意。
2. 首段末句明确表达自己的观点:我们应摒弃自己胆怯的一面,发掘自己勇敢的一面。
3. 分三个层次论证了自己的观点,论据充分,论证有力。
4. 采用对比论证,恰如其分,同时也体现了论证方法的多样性。
5. 末段总结全文,重申观点。
要点用法
tussle v. 扭打
timidity n. 胆怯
courage n. 勇敢
wisdom n. 有见识的想法、说法等
explore v. 探究,发掘
barrier n. 障碍
give a big hand 帮大忙
句法点评
1. In addition, without the negative psychological influence, it would be as though they had a good friend who would give them a big hand.
without..., it would be...这句话属于非真实条件句。这种暗含的条件从句叫做含蓄条件句,又如:Without your instruction, I would not have made such great progress. 要是没有你的指导,我不会取得如此大的进步。
2. All in all, we will definitely taste the happiness of life only if we abandon the timid self and explore the courageous one in us.
only if意思是“只要……就;只有,只有当……”。if only意思是“只要……就好了;但愿”。在使用时,两者易发生混淆。例如:①You can make progress only if you are modest. 唯虚心乃能进步。②If only you had told me that some time before. 要是你早些时候告诉我该多好啊!
Governments of All Countries Should Launch Serious Campaigns Against Smoking. DoYou Agree
你是否同意各国政府切实发起禁烟运动?
If you smoke and still don't believe that there is a definite link between smoking and bronchialtroubles, heart disease, and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Wheneverthe subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, seeno evil and smell no evil. In Britain, for instance, cigarette advertising has been banned on TV. The conscience of the nation is appeased while the population continues to puff its way tosmoky, cancerous death.
If the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their peoples, you'd think they'd conduct aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobaccoindustry is allowed to spend huge sums on advertising. The advertisements suggest it is manlyto smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is as sociated with the great open-air life, withbeautiful girls, true love and togetherness.
So I suggest that governments begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and thenconduct anti-smoking adve rtising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in allpublic areas like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to informyoung people especially of the dire consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific warning — say, a picture of a death's head — should be included in every packet of cigarettes that is sold. As individuals we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, theycould protect us from ourselves.

The Growth of Fast Food in China
快餐在中国快速发展
Inpresent-day China, we can find two types of fast food: western andChinese. However, notuntil the recent decade has western fast foodbecome popular in China. Before the firsthamburger walked its way intothe Chinese food market, we had little idea about such terms ashot dog,pizza, potato chips, let alone Kentucky and McDonald's. It is the reformand opening-up policy that has brought about the interflow of the foodculture between China and thewestern countries.
Fastfood, both Chinese and western, has several advantages. In thefirst place, fast food, as ischaracterized by its name, is fast. Thefood is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers. This savespeople's precious time, and consequently goes well with the tempo oflife inmodern society.
Secondly, itis very convenient. As we know, fast food restaurants are much the sameascafeterias. Customers may feel free to help themselves to any varietyprovided and eat to theirhearts'content.
Thirdly,fast food restaurants are environmentally comfortable. Clean dishes,shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people'sappetite to eat more.
Theabove-mentioned advantages make fast food become rooted in almost allparts of thecountry and enjoy popularity among people. That's also whynowadays Singapore fast food, Turkish fast food and Indian-Pakistanifast food have found their homes in China.
Asevery coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvantages suchas lack of nutrition, dulltaste. Nevertheless, these are minor pointscompared with its advantages. Since most peopleagree with fast food, it tends to grow more rapidly.

New scientific discovery nearly always brings mankind a blessing. Take electricity for example. Since its discovery, it has ushered in an era of countless inventions in close connection with it. Nowadays people can read and write by means of lights instead of candles. Fire is another example of discoveries which made human beings survive in ancient times and generates electricity in modern times. Again, minerals such as oil or coal discovered by man have long been used as fuel to develop industry and agriculture.
Yet sometimes scientific discoveries may prove a curse upon the human race. As we know, everything has two sides. Electricity can shock one to death if used carelessly. Smoke from factories and gases from cars are terrible pollutants. Radium used in nuclear power plants can lead to a nuclear war.
The misuse of scientific discoveries must be prevented. Since chemical elements or substances were discovered, some have been made use of for purpose of war. Such weapons as atomic bombs or poisonous gases have proved to be destructive to mankind. Therefore, it is the whole world's duty to prevent scientific discoveries from menacing the human race.
The drawbacks of testWentered system of education has long been noticed. Test oriented teaching fails to foster (培养) creativity or individual talent. Students cannot enjoy the beauty of leaning, because scoring high in tests is their first concern. The way teachers teach is time-consuming with slow results. Consequently graduates can not put knowledge into practice.
To maintain a better position in the approaching information age, we must realize that developing quality-oriented education is an urgent task. The new age calls for open-minded, creative and enthusiastic studentsg Their humanity qualities and practical skillB ought to be in parallel with knowledge. Otherwise China will lag behind.
Having identified the urgency, we must find solutions. Schools should change teaching concepts and improve teaching methods. Teaching methods should facilitate (有助于)the development of the interest of students and help them to form the good habit of learning by themselves. After class, students should update their proficiency (精通,熟练)through self teaching and practical use.

When it comes to the ability and degree,which is more important in job hunting,some hold that is ability is vital than degree.I,however,assume the degree should gain more attention.This is not to say the ability of job applicants is not important.
There are some main reasons to support this view.First and foremost,higher degree is play a important role in our job-seeking.We often can have word that nowadays interviewers place greater emphasis upon education background.Without being well-educated, You have no chance to send the resume,how to show your ability?Besides,knowledge is a key factor in our future.Different kinds of jobs need the different types of background.If you want to be a scientific researcher,you should get a higher degree. In contrast, there is no special requirements in some service fields.
After pondering this question on many occasions,I have finally arrived that degree is much more important than ability at present.
1.来自同辈的压力对年轻人有着潜移默化的影响
2.我们该如何应对这种同辈压力
参考范文:
Peer pressure refers to the influence exerted by a peer group in encouraging a person to change his or her attitudes, values, or behavior in order to conform to group norms. Though the idea that“everyone's doing it” can sometimes strengthen our sense of competition, it can also mislead us to leave our judgment, or our common sense behind.
No one can avoid peer pressure, however, as we grow, we learn to deal with it properly. To begin with, we must be true to ourselves. Paying attention to our own feelings and beliefs about what is right or wrong will help us make our own decision. Inner strength and self-confidence keep us standing firm instead of being affected by the external influences. Secondly, be careful when choosing friends. We may try to get together with friends of similar values, interests or backgrounds to reduce the pressure from different minds. What's more, when we find the peer pressure is overwhelming, we might as well turn to someone we trust for help.
Though we may feel annoyed when caught in peer pressure, we can learn a lot through coping with it. Eventually we will reach the balance between our own beliefs and external influences.
请以 Stress and Relaxation为题,写一篇作文。

Stress and Relaxation
It is commonly believed that only rich middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress. In fact anyonemay become ill as a result of stress if theyexperience a lot of worry over a long period and theirhealth is not especially good. Stress can be a friendor an enemy: it can warn you that you are under toomuch pressure and should change your way of life.
It can kill you if you don't notice the warningsignals. Doctors agree that it is probably the biggestsingle cause of illness in the Western world. Whenwe are very frightened and worried our bodies produce certain chemicals to help us fightwhat is troubling us.
Unfortunately, these chemicals produce the energy needed to run away fast from an objectof fear, and in modern life that's often impossible. If we don't use up these chemicals, or if weproduce too many of them, they may actually harm us. The parts of the body that are mostaffected by stress are the stomach, heart,skin, head and back.
Stress can cause car accidents, heart attacks, and alcoholism, and may even drive people tosuicide. Our living and working conditions may put us under stress. Overcrowding in large cities,traffic jams, competition for jobs, worry about the future, any big changes in our lives, maycause stress. Some British doctors have pointed out that one of Britain's worst waves ofinfluenza happened soon after the new coins came into use. Also if you have changed jobs ormoved house in recent months you are more likely to fall ill than if you haven't. And morepeople commit suicide in times of inflation. As with all illnesses, prevention is better than cure.If you find you can't relax, it is a sign of danger. "When you're taking work home, when youcan't enjoy an evening with friends, when you haven't time for outdoor exercise—that is thetime to stop and ask yourself whether your present life really suits you." Says one familydoctor. " Then it's time to join a relaxation class, or take up dancing, painting or gardening."
1.近年,部分慈善机构或个人受到批评质疑
2.出现这种现象原因(重点背诵段)
3.我的看法
作文范文:
Charity brings the society power, arouses people's enthusiasm for life, and help others to overcome difficulties. However, after several scandals, it has become a trend for the public to criticize and doubt charity organizations or individuals. A case in point is China Red Cross, whose fame was spoiled by Guo Meimei.
It is evident that the causes of this phenomenon are diverse. In the first place, the disordered charity management is the root cause of criticism. Why? Charity organizations in mounting/ large numbers have not come to realize the problems in their management, budget and raising money. In the second place, the lack of public's trust constitutes another major cause. Based on a survey on the Internet, because of some negative cases, a majority of people admit that they are unwilling to donate or help others through charitable activities or organizations.
As a college student, I am firmly convinced that it is exceedingly necessary for the public to be involved in charity. However, we should advocate and encourage organizations to reform charitable activities.

Leadership
what is leadership?its qualities are difficult to define. but they are not so difficult to identify. leaders don ' t force other people to go along with them. they bring them along.
leaders get commitment from others by giving it themselves, by building an environment that encourages creativity, and by operating with honesty and fairness.
good leaders aren' t" lone rangers. "they recognize that an organization' s strategies for success require the combined talents and efforts of many people. leadership is the catalyst for transforming those talents into results.
successful leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future--not wedded to the past. they have a hunger to take responsibility, to innovate, and to initiate. they are not content with merely taking care of what' s already there. they want to move forward to create something new.
leaders provide answers as well as direction, offer strength as well as dedication, and speak from experience as well as understanding of the problems they face and the peopie they work with.
leaders are flexible rather than dogmatic. they believe in unity rather than yielding. and they strive to achieve agreements out of conflict. leadership is all about getting people consistently to give their best, helping them to grow to their fullest potential, and motivating them to work toward a common good. leaders make the right things happen when they're supposed to.
a good leader, an effective leader, is one who has respect. respect is something you have to have in order to get.a leader who has respect for other people at all levels of an organization, for the work they do, and for their abilities, desires and needs, will find that respect is returned. and all concerned will be motivated to work together.
