1． Dear Peter,

Thanks very much on inviting me to your birthday party on Sunday. I’d like very much come but had an examination on Monday morning. It is a very important exam but I can’t afford to fail it. I’ll spend all the whole weekend reading and prepare for it. So I’m really sorry that I won’t be able to come in this time. Hope you can understand. I’ll take chance to wish you wonderful time on your birthday. Happy birthday, Peter, and many happy return of the day! Yours, Li Ming 2:

I used to love science class—all of them— biology, chemistry ,geography, physics. I think I like those classes because I felt that it helped me understand what the world works. For example, when I was a child , the rain was a mystery (奥秘). In one class, I learned it rained. I think science classes clear up mysteries. But then there is always more mysteries look into. What was my least favorite class? That was maths. After learn the basics of the subject, nothing else seemed very practically to me. I never saw how I could use it in my daily life. (2001春季) 3:

Like most of my schoolmates, I have either brothers nor sisters—in any other words, I am an only child. My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure that I get a good education. They did not want me to do any work at family; they want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I’ll get good marks in all my subject. We may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter? What things are in other homes, I wonder.(NMET 2001) 4

Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it’s famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them were

very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly. Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was good. I was so tiring that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow. (NMET 2002) 5

Many teachers worry about the effects of television on young people. According to studies, any children spend more time watching television than they spend in school. Because so much viewing, children may not be develop the habit of read and the ability to enjoy themselves. No one worried much about the radio program young people listen to, although radios can be very noise. Teachers also wonder about the effects of television commercials. On one year the average child will see 25,000 television commercials, all planned and written by grown-ups to make children to want things that they don’t real need. (2003春季) 7:

When I first learned write in English, I ran into many difficulties. The main problem was in that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate anything into English. My teacher advised me to keep my diary. I followed her advice and should put down 100 words or so each day. Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English. One day I wrote a little story and showed to my teacher. She liked it very much and reads it to the class. They all said the story was a good one. Their word were a great encouragement to me. (NMET 2003)

Task 8: Dear Ralph,

I’m a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and quietly. Before my classmates, it seems always difficult for me to do things well as them. I’m sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool. So I feel happy every day. Besides, I have few friends. I don’t know that they don’t like to talk with me. Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once. I am trying to improve the situation since it doesn’t seem to work. Can you tell me about what I should do? Yours, Xiao Wei Task 9

At first I was not quite willing to sit down and watched the 90-minute football match. Usually I just checked the results because I thought that was dull to watch a game in which players kicked a ball each other. Therefore, my father loves football. During World Cup in 2002, my dad stays up late just to watch his favorite sport. Seeing his strong interest in this game of 22 men run after a ball, I decided to sit down to watch the game. I found the game excited, and my dad explained for the rules. We shared our joy. Football is not too badly as long as I watch it with my dad! (2005浙江卷) 11

It is bad manners in the classroom to look for what our neighbor had written, and try to see what mark he has received without being permitted. It is good manners for them to help each other if we have the same desire and the teacher allows to it. In examinations and in certain kinds of written work, it is dishonest and foolishly to help or to ask help from others. When one student does so, much larger values are destroying. One may not agree to examination system, but at present it is basically the only measure

that the teacher and the rest of the world can depend to decide if or not each of us meets the requirement. (2005重庆卷) Task 12:

Not all people like to work and everyone likes to play. All over the world men and woman, boys and girls enjoy sports.

I came into the living room and saw one of them just to go through the kitchen door but turn on the light. He was looking for a glass the cupboard. He had no ideas that the kitchen was not for guests. I just smiled to me and thought, “What can I do? We are guests after all.” (2006全国卷1) Task 14 Dear Ming,
