One Thing I’m Proud of I still remember how I became a good table tennis player.

The first day I went to high school, I saw some of my classmates playing table tennis. Amazed at how skillful they were, I was determined to be just as good. Later on, I often watched them carefully to learn their techniques. Then I kept practicing until I became confident enough to challenge the good players. At the end of the term I became one of the best players in my class.

I am really proud of this experience, because it helps me realize that we all can fulfill our potential and achieve our goals through hard work. It also helps me better understand the proverb "Practice makes perfect.”

我很自豪的一件事我还记得我如何成为一个优秀的乒乓球运动员。

第一天我去了高中时,我看到一些同学打乒乓球。惊讶于他们是多么巧妙,我决心一样好。后来,我经常看到他们认真学习他们的技术。然后我不停地练习,直到我有足够的信心去挑战了好球员。在学期结束的时候,我成为班里最好的球员之一。

我真的骄傲的这段经历,因为它让我意识到我们都能实现我们的潜能,通过努力工作才能实现我们的目标。它也帮助我更好地理解谚语“熟能生巧”。

高考过后，总有一些学习用品商家千方百计在高考状元身上下工夫，让状元们说是使用过他们的产品后才取得了优异成绩。请你用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，谈谈自己的看法。内容应包括以下要点：

2. 给状元们提一点建议。

参考例文：

After the college entrance exams，some companies that sell learning products are always trying to do anything they can to make full use of Number One Scholars in order to sell their products.

在大学入学考试之后，一些销售学习产品的公司总是试图做任何他们可以充分利用的数量的学者为了推销他们的产品。

In fact，its not easy for students to become Number One Scholars. Most of them succeed not because of the products，but their proper way of learning and hard work. Every student has his own way of studying，so the Number One Scholars experience may not be suitable for all the students. Most important of all，not all of these products are good enough to help us study.

事实上，学生成为一个数字是不容易的。他们中的大多数成功不是因为产品，而是他们正确的学习和努力工作的方式。每个学生都有自己的学习方式，所以，一个学者的经验可能不适合所有的学生。最重要的是，并不是所有这些产品都足以帮助我们学习。

I do hope that Number One Scholars can think of the poor students instead of themselves only.

我真希望这个数字有一个学者能想到的贫困学生，而不是自己。

前不久，中央电视台“焦点访谈”栏目曾就“中国式过马路”现象进行了不少采访和评论。请用英语写一篇100-120 词的短文，结合自己的所见所闻或亲身经历描述“行人闯红灯”(pedestrians run the red light)引发的若干问题，并就此提出一些解决措施。 注意;短文的开头已给出(不计词数)。

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.______________________

参考范文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

There is a very common phenomenon around us that people just run the light totally ignoring the running vehicles, which can lead to serious consequences. Last week a traffic accident happened near our school, a rushing car knocked down a student who was running the red light. And because of the car’s sudden stop, several cars behind crashed into each other. Of course this caused a terrible traffic jam.

In my opinion, effective measures should be taken to solve the problem. First, we can make good use of the media, such as TV, newspaper, magazine, to raise people’s awareness of obeying the traffic rules and road safety. Second, government must make severe laws to punish people who dare to break the law and run the red light.

优秀作文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

Take one of my experiences for example. It was a Tuesday and it rained cat and dog. There was only a few minutes left for me to go to school on time. I was so hurried that I ignored the red light. It was so dangerous for me that the car hardly hit me seriouly. From then on, I never dare to run the red light. I think it can lead to many problems. There is no doubt that it will not only make the traffic heavier but also lose your own life.

As far as I am concerned, it has profound significance to take actions. For the government, they should make laws and appeal to the importance of safety. For the other people, we should cherish our lives and obey the traffic rules.

Recently，there has been an activity of “doing your bit for an energy-saving society” in our school. Our schoolmates are highly concerned about the increasing lack of energy and provide their own suggestions.

Some students suggest that we shouldn’t waste any food or paper, though they appear very easy to get. Meanwhile, some other students think it advisable to refuse to use disposable chopsticks and plastic bags. Besides, it is also strongly recommended that those used textbooks as well as reference books of graduates, which are still in good condition, not be thrown but recycled.

Actually, there are still quite a lot that we can easily do: say, try to take buses or ride bicycles instead of driving cars, etc. All of these will definitely help to build an energy-saving society.

【参考译文】

最近，我们学校有一个“为节能社会做点事”的活动。我们的同学高度关注日益增长的能源不足，并提出自己的建议。

一些学生建议我们不应该浪费任何食物或纸，虽然他们看起来很容易得到。同时，一些学生认为最好不要使用一次性筷子和塑料袋。此外，还强烈建议，那些使用的教科书和参考书的毕业生，仍然处于良好状态，而不是扔，但回收。

事实上，我们仍然可以做很多事情：比如，乘公共汽车或骑自行车而不是开车等，这些都有助于建设节约型社会。

Good afternoon, everyone!

The topic of my speech today is “My Attitude to Pursuit of Fashion in School”.

Now in our school there is a hot pursuit of fashion. Some students live a very expensive life. They have the same hairstyles as their favorable stars and wear top brand of clothes and shoes. Some use expensive mobile phones.The reasons why they do so are as follows. Firstly, they hope to look smart and special. Secondly, they want to win others’ admiration and respect. In addition, it makes them feel cool .

As far as I am concerned, we students should hold the right sense of values. We should practice thrift in our daily life because it is one of our Chinese traditional virtues. What’s more , it is advisable for us to donate some pocket money to the Hope Project so that those poor children in rural areas can return to school to receive normal education. Last but not least, it is the inner beauty rather than our appearance that makes us respectable.

Thank you for listening!

【译文】

大家下午好！

我今天演讲的题目是“我的态度在学校工作，追求时尚”。

现在在我们学校有一个追求时尚热点。有些学生生活非常昂贵的生活。他们有他们的有利星级相同的发型，穿的衣服和鞋第一品牌。有些使用昂贵的移动电话。究其原因，他们这样做如下。首先，他们希望看起来聪明和特别。其次，他们想赢得别人的钦佩和尊敬。此外，它使他们感到凉爽。

据我所知，我们的学生应持正确的价值观念意识。我们应该在日常生活中实践节约，因为它是我们中华民族的传统美德之一。更重要的是，这是值得我们捐些零用钱给希望工程，使农村地区的贫困儿童能重返学校，接受正常的教育。最后但并非最不重要的，它是内在美，而不是我们的外表，使我们尊敬的。

谢谢你的关注！

(Mothers Eyes)

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. With her eyes,she observed my mood, gave me courage and made me strong. Therefore, I could face difficulties.

When I was a baby learning to walk, my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down. As I finally threw myself into her arms, her eyes smiled with praise. Later as I grew up, I met with more difficulties. But whenever I was frustrated, my mothers eyes alwaysgave me hope and encouragement. Once I failed in exams, my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons. Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better. At last I overcame the difficulty. Now I have grown up and become more independent, but whenever I come across setbacks, my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

我母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。那双眼睛能洞察我的心情，给我鼓励，促我坚强，因此我能面对一切困难。

孩提学步时，妈妈总是帮助我，鼓励我摔倒了就爬起来。最后我晃晃悠悠地扑进她怀抱时，她的双眼充满了赞扬之情。成长过程中，我遇到了很多困难，但灰心失望时，妈妈的双眼总给我以希望和鼓励。一次我考试不及格，妈妈没有责备我，而是鼓励我找出原因，提高我的成绩。最后我终于度过了难关。现在，我长大了，不用再让她操心了。但每当遇到挫折时，妈妈的眼睛总是伴随着我，给我鼓励。

August 15 is one of the most important festivals of the Chinese nation -- the Mid-Autumn festival. On that day, people ate moon cakes, the moon, some places and lanterns, very lively.

The reason for the Mid-Autumn festival is that August is the second month of the autumn, the ancient time is called midautumn, because it is in the autumn and the middle of August, the folk are called Mid-Autumn festival.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn festival, relatives and friends give gifts to each other, because moon cakes symbolize reunion. The styles of mooncakes are also full of beautiful fruit, such as pineapple, red dates, orange, and my favorite ice moon cakes...

On the day of the Mid-Autumn festival, people bought all kinds of things except moon cakes. Most of them were eaten. In the evening, the family ate reunion dinner, looking forward to the dark sky, hoping the moon would come out earlier.

At night, the moon came out, like a large disk. At this time, the family moved the tables and chairs and tea sets to the balcony, and all kinds of mooncakes were taken together. They looked at the moon, and remembered their loved ones who could not go home. Some people raise a cup in the moonlight, the hope is good; Fireworks rise and bloom in the night sky!

The Mid-Autumn festival is a joyous occasion for our family. It is a time for us to miss our loved ones. It is an indelible day.

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular.________________________

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to apply to go abroad.

There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.

However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Of course the costs are much.

It is well-known that we exist in a dynamic world with various difficulties. When we are faced with them, nothing is more important than hope and self-confidence. With confidence, we can find sometimes the question is not as “huge”as we imagine.

Take most of us for example, the entrance exam to college seems to be a horrible monster. Accordingly, some people give up, some persist. In my eyes, with confidence, right assessment of the difficulties, as well as full preparation, try and exert your strength, and then we will overcome all problems and challenges. On the whole, I believe we youngsters should face the difficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, brave it out and just do it!

众所周知，我们生活在一个充满各种困难的充满活力的世界里。当我们面对他们时，没有什么比希望和自信更重要。有信心，我们可以发现有时问题并不像我们想象的那样“庞大”。

以我们大多数人为例，高考似乎是一个可怕的怪物。因此，有些人放弃，有些人坚持。在我眼里，有信心，有正确的评估困难，以及充分的准备，尝试和发挥你的力量，然后我们将克服所有的问题和挑战。总的来说，我相信我们年轻人应该以正确的方式面对困难。没有什么是不可能的，勇敢的去做!

even though you are the richest person in the world，you can not afford to waste your time，because it means that you are wasting your life.even though you are the most powerful person in the world，one hour has60minutes for you just as for everyone else who struggles at the bottom of the society.

some people think that the most important thing in the world is money.in their opinion，if you have enough money，you will have everything you want.i would like to ask them a simple question：can you buy time?

the only thing with which we can win more time is efficiency.if you work with high efficiency，you can do more in a certain period of time than other people.

范文 (One possible version)

Hello, everyone,

Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.

Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.

As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.

My Favourite Great Book

My favourite great book is The Adventures ofTom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

Tom Sawyer is a lively and clever boy. Helives with his aunt Polly. His

aunt is strict with him, so he runs to an islandin the middle of the Mississippi

River with two friends, Huck and Joe. WithHuck, he goes looking for treasure;

with Becky, he gets lost in a cave. Andfinally Tom and Huck find a box of gold.

Tom is the hero of the story, butthere are other important characters. Becky is

pretty with fair hair. Huck isTom’s best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man

ofthe story.

The theme of the story is to do with childrengrowing up and becoming more

serious.

The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”。 People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China.

There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First， using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second， people can improve their health by riding a bicycle.

The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries， city governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge.

导语：高考英语书面表达想拿高分并不容易，首先你要避免一些在学生中比较常见的几种错误才行。下面小编为大家整理了高考英语写作常见的错误，希望大家在考试中能够避免。

有的同学对于否定的概念模糊，不知如何否定，有时会写出不合规则或有异义的句子。

1. 我认为没有必要买大的。

误：I think its not necessary to buy the bigger one.

正：I don’t think it is necessary to buy the bigger one.

析：有些动词如think, believe, expect, suppose, imagine, guess, fancy等的主语是第一人称单数且一般现在时，表示否定的观点应用I don’t think…，而I think… not则属于汉语式表达习惯。

2. 我们直到天全黑了才到家。

误：We arrived home until it became completely dark.

正：We didn’t arrive home until it became completely dark.

析：此汉语句子里面尽管没有否定词，但until用于肯定句时意为“直到…为止”;用于否定句时，其意为“在…以前”。因此，表示“直到…才”用not…until。

3. 如果没有受到邀请的话，我是不会去参加舞会的。

误：I’ll not go to the party unless I’m not invited.

正：I’ll not go to the party unless I’m invited.

正：I’ll not go to the party if I’m not invited.

析：unless“除非”、“如果不”，常可用if…not来替换。误句中的条件状语从句双重否定表示肯定，结果与原句意思相反。

4. 那孩子不够大不能去上学。

误：The child is not old enough not to go to school.

正：The child is not old enough to go to school.

正：The child is too young to go to school.

析：这是学生最容易写错的句子。enough to“足以、足够”。原句中“不够大不能去上学”意思是“不够上学的年龄”，故应译为not old enough to go to school。

5. 他们两个都不说英语。

误：Both of them don’t speak English.

正：Neither of them speaks English.

析：中国学生特别对于all…not 和both…not等这种部分否定结构，很容易理解成全部否定。两者全部否定用neither, 三者以上用none。

6. 开车时再小心也不过分。

误：You can be too careful in driving a car.

正：You can not be too careful in driving a car.

析：cannot…too“无论作…也不过分”。
