One glance at a pyramid can leave the viewer in awe of its beauty and splend or. Upon closer examination, however, one might be surprised to discover that such a grandiose structure is composed entirely of ordinary stones.
Most people are familiar with the proverb: Rome was not built in a day. An object as grand as a pyramid is likewise not so quickly or easily constructed. Just as the greatness of the city of Rome is due to the combination of its smaller parts, a pyramid is only as strong as the stones it is comprised of. The image of a pyramid reminds us that great success is in fact an accumulation of small achievements.
History proves that many famous artists and scientists are only successful because of their continued efforts, even after numerous failures. One might recall Leonardo Dancing‘s drawing of an egg, Wang Xi Zhi practicing handwriting, or Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb, for example. The fable that tells us that even water can eventually pierce through stone also points to the importance of patience and diligence. We should take such stories and histories into account and remember the importance of fundamentals; remember that one can build a pyramid only if one is willing to work with small stones. People would be wise to abandon rash inclinations and instead try in earnest. Perseverance is sure to lead to success.
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. Suppose you have two options upon graduation: one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school. You are to make a choice between the two. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to take a job, but others take the attitude that going to a graduate school is the most critical factor influencing their future career choices.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view. A higher educational background exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. This phenomenon that the graduates have difficulties in finding job after their graduation can easily be found anywhere in our daily life, especially on campus. On the one hand, with the improved high education of Chinese college students which directly brought the result that there are more and more graduates every year. On the contrary, job vacancies don’t increase that fast. More people, less food, which is the exact description of the hard condition. On the other hand, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor degree; more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better working chances. It is sure that the competition is more and more fierce.
Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures to improve our own competitiveness. That is the secret of success in the future employment market after our graduation.
Nowadays,the overwhelming influence of advertisements on media has made too many controversial social people argue that advertisements make the audience have the similar look by driving them to buy products of the same fundamentally agree with this assertion,and my reasons will be explored as below.
Admittedly,the literal intention of advertisements is to sharpen the concept of the purpose of distinguishing brand names,slogans and testimonials in advertisement are always full of very personalized words,including ^v^new^v^,^v^innovation^v^,^v^uniqueness^v^,^v^revolution^v^,^v^the best^v^,^v^the only^v^,^v^the first^v^.It is clear that core values of these words bring people a motivation to change,and a desire to try something gap between people can be broadened,because any inpidual is stimulated by advertisements to express their personalities by buy different items,instead of following common tastes.
However,when considering practical effects of advertisements on the society,I strongly believe they play a role of depersonalizing the audience,and the first reason is that commercials are the key tool for big companies to monopolize the hand,many big companies invest billions of dollars annually in making fascinating and prepossessing advertisements to attract the public,which consistently maintains the loyalty of patrons,and cultivate good impressions of potential customers on their the other hand,small companies have too limited financial ability to afford these costly publicity campaigns,so that their names and influences continue to fade and lose consumer is to say,advertisements,an expensive privilege only for rich and big companies,help these companies exclusively occupy the market,as well as reducing the persity of this situation,people definitely look the same,because they have no other options but buy the same-brand food,clothes and devices produced by a dominating company.
Another reason supporting this assertion lies on the fact that exposure to advertisements standardizes thoughts and tastes among audiences,especially in terms of their typical example comes from fashion,cosmetic and shampoo commercials which highlight the close-up of images of certain model or is a strong brainwash by implying that images of these actors are common standards of human beauty,and then triggering massive public imitation shows round by too many cases,large groups of hypnotized people,regardless of ages,careers and races,blindly follow and chase so-called iconic figures in an advertisement,mainly through buying and using the same lipstick and perfume,wearing same clothes,watch,ornaments and bag,even copying the same hair style.
In conclusion,I believe the main social influence of advertisements is to make people have the similar images slogans of advertisements tend to inpidualize the audience,the truth is that advertisements not only let big companies rule the market solely,but also manipulate the public’s minds to buy the same things.
Along with the improvement of living standards，people are no longer content with being fed and clothed are more concerned about how to enhance their sense of happiness.
To a large extent，happiness depends on inpiduals’understanding about some people，happiness relies on material which they can’t live comfortably and others，they believe that happiness has nothing to do with to enhance the sense of happiness is not equal to improving one’s material living ，people are supposed to confront their life with right attitude，to be active and grateful in order to have a happy life.
For my part，money does buy only up to the point where it enables one to live boost one’s sense of happiness not only needs the material but also the spiritual enrichment. It encompasses living a meaningful life，utilizing your gifts and your time，living with reflection and objective.
As autumn winds blow, leaves fall. Havingseparated from a tree, leaves decompose into theearth and eventually return to a tree‘s originalroots. Hence the saying: “fallen leaves are destinedto return to the root.”
The picture above depicts the motion of leaves towards the root, which in turn can beinterpreted as the intense bond Chinese feel towards their motherland.
More and more overseas Chinese are returning or have already returned to China. Despitethe length of time they have spent abroad, or regardless of the life they may have lead, theyare often disposed to return to their roots, to come home. It is commonly said that blood isthicker than water. Because they are grateful for their homeland‘s nourishment and support,they return to contribute to the construction of their country with the knowledge, experienceand wealth acquired abroad. This inclination is an expression of people‘s attachment to, andlove of, their homeland. Patriotism is a prevailing emotion among the overseas Chinese. TheChinese still living in China should also cherish and love their country, and give back with theirknowledge and actions in order to cultivate the country‘s present and future.
How to Keep Psychologically Healthy?

Secondly, learn to relax yourself and take exercises to release the pressure. Lastly, you may find it helpful to talk to your partner or friend about your problem, or seek support and advice form a psychological consultant.

Since the financial crisis swept the world, the global economy has sunk into a severe recession. It's hard to get through a day without hearing or reading news about the devastating effects of the crisis: A world of companies go bankrupt, millions of employees are laid off, high-return investment bubbles burst, and huge sums of loans can never be retrieved. Its impact on our daily life can be felt in all walks of life.
College students inevitably fall victim to this pervasive slump as well. On top of that, internships and job vacancies are reduced to the minimum as companies keep shrinking. New graduates find themselves hard to get a job, not to speak of a satisfactory one. What comes next? Poor students will be hard-pressed if they find student loans unavailable any more. As a result, some even cannot afford to continue their studies. Lastly, more students are probably out there anxiously looking for part-time jobs now that they have to help cover their expenses in this gloomy economy. Their innocence and eagerness might be taken advantage of by some malicious businesspeople, or even criminal gang.
In response to these threats, we students must act promptly and wisely. Since we definitely will be facing a competitive job market, it's crucial that we submit high quality resumes. Therefore, we must commit more to our professional studies. Even do better, master more relevant job skills as a double security. Furthermore, apply for scholarships and grants, as these are still available and we don't have to pay them back. As for the safety issues, trust our instinct - there's no free lunch in this world. Anything that promises quick returns without much work is a sure trap. Stay alert and protect ourselves.
Nowadays many universities encourage and organize students to take part in social practice activities. During the holidays, more and more students choose to be the volunteers, take part-time jobs, or take part in other practical activities alike. It’s obvious that social practice is playing a more and more important role in China’s college education.
Undoubtedly, college students have benefited a lot from social practice. Above all, they are provided with more opportunities to contact the real world outside the campus. Moreover, in social practice activities, students can apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems. So their practical skills are improved greatly. Besides, social practice helps strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility.
Considering the above-mentioned, I think, it is necessary for college students to participate in social practice. However, social practice may bring some problems. For example, some students spend too much time in taking part-time jobs so as to ignore their study. Therefore, we should try to balance the relationship between social practice and study。

Dear Sir or Madam:
I'm 名字, a second-year student from Business Department. I'm writing to make a proposal about holding a college-wide English public speaking contest with the topic of ^v^University as I see it^v^.
The aims of the contest are twofold. First, students all over the University are offered an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively in English.

It is important to note that only a current undergraduate student is eligible for the contest. Each of the contestants would be asked to deliver a prepared speech of 5 minutes and an impromptu speech based on the topic assigned after the prepared speech. The contest would be an off-line event at the International Conference Hall on 日期. A panel from the ESL faculty shall select five finalists from all participants. The finalists would present their speeches after which three winners (and two honorable mentions) would be chosen.
I'm looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much for everything you've done. Wish you all the best.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. Suppose you have two options upon graduation: one is to find a job somewhere and the other to start a business of your own. You are to make a decision. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your decision. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to start a business of your own, but others take the attitude that finding a job is the best choice influencing their future.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view. An opportunity to start a business exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. In my view, With the competition in the job market becoming increasingly fierce for college graduates， some ambitious students have tried their hands at launching their own businesses. Over the years，there have been many successful cases of student entrepreneurship and such attempts should be encouraged and promoted by both the universities and the society at large. What’s more ,College students who start businesses are pioneers，among whom will be born China’s future business leaders. Faced with unknown challenges， they are audacious enough to embark on a perilous journey while most of their peers enjoy stable salaries by working as white-collars at high-end office buildings.
All in all, the essential difference between the students who find a job or those students who create their own businesses is that the former are docile followers whereas the latter are aggressive trailblazers. For this reason， business-launching college graduates are more admirable， and thus they command our deep respect.
It has been said that when people succeed,it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people,I must disagree with this cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in example,many important discoveries have been made by have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device.
Furthermore,there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare of course,there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.
While the influence of luck cannot be ignored,this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard one is willing to work hard,I believe that success will eventually be achieved,with or without the added benefit of work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills,he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.

Last Sunday, a profound activity, school project of collecting used books, was held on campus. A host of students poured their passion into the event and almost everyone considered it as a meaningful way to access to knowledge, based on the actual situation yesterday.
Our university student union had made some arrangements for the project. From my perspective, the following two purposes can interpret this activity. To begin with, this kind of activity would cut down expenses of students, cultivating the awareness of saving. In the mean time, collecting used books can decrease the recycling and reprinting of books, and it is also benefit for the protection of environment. Anyone in the school who was curious about the project registered their names on the list and brought their books to student union’s office, Room 115, E Building last Friday.
The collected books have been displayed in the library. All students who attended the event enjoyed this marvellous period.

Proposal for an Orientation Program
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m 名字. I’m writing to make a proposal to conduct an orientation program for freshmen. The major purpose of the orientation program is to enable freshmen to adapt to the campus environment and academic life as soon as possible. The duration of the project is expected to be one week. Participants include all freshmen, teachers and academic staff.
The orientation is pided into three parts: a school lecture, a student activity and a campus tour. In the school lecture, we will introduce the school background, professional training objectives and how to select courses, so as to help students quickly embark on their learning journey. At the student activity, there will be some interesting games to help freshmen get to know each other quickly and make contacts. The last part is a campus tour, where students will visit the school's teaching building, library, restaurant, and so on, so as to help them to quickly adjust to campus life.
I hope the freshmen can quickly adapt to the new environment and academic studies through this orientation. I’m looking forward to your reply. Wish you all the best.

People's attitudes towards the solution to the housing problem are suggest building more tall apartment buildings;others believe that we should develop underground housing am in favour of the former one thing,it is cheaper to build upward than another,living underground for a long time will do harm to people's all,people are unwilling to live underground with artificial lighting and they prefer to live normally on the ground to enjoy the sunshine.
Although there may be some other ways to solve the housing shortage problem,I believe to build more apartment buildings is one of the feasible solutions to the housing problem.

Dear Ms. Riddle,
I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence from your Oral English class this Thursday morning.
Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my cousin, who is now operating a small company in suburbs of this city. He needs an interpreter for two days but cannot find the most trustworthy person, so he wants me to make an attempt. It seems to me that this is a golden opportunity to put what I have learned in your class into practice, but I need your permission of absence. If you think I may go and help him overcome the difficulty, I am confident that Ill do a good job and both of us will be thankful.
Earnestly yours,
Tony
Nowadays, oral English is quite a serious problem among Chinese students. Most of the students have studied English for a long time, but they cant communicate well with other people in English. In addition, there are still many other students who can understand every word of a article, but fail to read them out fluently and correctly.
Many reasons contribute to this problem. Among these reasons, examination-oriented education system plays a vital role. Whats more, most of the students are too shy and nervous to speak in public.
