In my middle school
years, I had a best friend. We talked about
everything. And we loved singing
songs
together. Once, however, there was a bitter
quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each
other. It was obvious that both of us
wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the
courage to break
the ice. It went on
like this for months.
Then, one
day we were asked to write about friendship. I
wrote in my composition what friendship
meant to me and the misunderstanding
that had separated us. It was given the top mark,
and I was
asked to read it in class.
When I ended my presentation with the words from
our favourite song, my
friend was
singing along. All misunderstanding was cleared
and once again we were best friends. To
break down the walls between people is
easy; all it takes is a little forgiveness!

We are living in a
world of distrust. We live behind cold security
bars; we do not talk to strangers, let
alone go out of our way to help them;
we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear
and feelings of
insecurity fill the
environment we live in.
All this
greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an
environment, we tend to feel isolated and
care about ourselves only. If things go
on like this,
become terms unheard of.
In my opinion,
trusting others and being trustworthy are the two
basic principles that we should
follow
if we want to improve human relationships. We may
not be in a position to change others, but
we can change the way others see us by
winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding
and love are
the pillars that support a
harmonious society.

In Text A, Helen Keller reminds us of a

not.

It's
natural, and perhaps human, for people to feel
overjoyed when given
acknowledgement
and honour. However, in Text B the author has more
than
just happiness to share with us
about her success and honour. What is it then?
Do you get the message the author tries
to convey? Think about, for example,
your admission to college. Did you
receive support, help, and encouragement
from your family members, teachers, and
friends? When looking back on your
journey to the college, what do you
want to say to them? Write an essay (of

Today,
many
college
students
are
from
single-child
families.
Growing
up
in
such
environments,
they tend to take for granted what they
have. Some even develop bad habits and character
flaws such as
self-will, lack of
responsibility and selfishness.
In
my
opinion,
taking
a
listless
attitude
toward
life
is
extremely
harmful
to
them.
With
such
a
negative
attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages
they enjoy. They waste away their precious time,
seeking pleasure in running after pop
stars or indulging in computer games. In the end,
they may have
to leave college without
having acquired any useful skills or knowledge.
Sometimes I think it is good
for us to think more of the young people who are
still struggling for
their
lives
and
education.
Such
an
attitude
would
certainly
impel
us
to
cherish
more
our
college
life.
And life would be more
meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a
vigor and keenness of appreciation.

Being admitted to
college was an important turning point in my life.
I would never have been able
to make it
without the help and support of my parents,
teachers and classmates.
Throughout the time I was preparing for the
entrance examination my parents were always there
to
back me up. They allowed me to make
my own decisions about which major I wanted to
pursue. What's
more, they had full
confidence in me.
I was lucky
enough to have had fine teachers and kind
classmates. My teachers were patient and
competent to explain the problems I did
not understand; my classmates helped me and
encouraged me
all the time. We shared
our hopes and anxieties together. That was a
memorable time in my life!
I didn't achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to
those who have helped me to get where I am.

Li Hui, my friend
in high school, was born into a worker's family.
She began to dream of becoming
a
cartoon
artist
from
her
childhood.
To
her
disappointment,
her
parents
strongly
opposed
her
career
choice, because the
cost of her education would be too high for the
poor family, and they were worried
about
the
job
opportunities
for
a
cartoon
artist.
However,
Li
Hui
would
not
change
her
mind.
She
worked hard to perfect her skills and
searched persistently for ways to realise her
dream. Just before she
finished high
school, the chance came: a famous art school was
holding a cartoon drawing competition.
The first three winners would be given
a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the
school. Li Hui told
herself not to let
the chance slip through her fingers. She readily
participated and won the second place.
She is now studying there and I feel
certain that her dream will come true.

In
my
opinion,
before
a
person
becomes
successful,
he
or
she
should
fully
understand
the
basic
elements of success:
competence, determination and optimism.
For a person to
succeed, he or she has to face great competition
and excel in his or her chosen career.
The person needs to demonstrate and
