passage in about 120 words, taking either of the
following titles:
1)
why I like to learn English
2)
why I hate to
learn English
Sample Essay
1) Why I Like
to Learn English
I have learned English
for about seven years. I should say that I
am highly motivated
to
(
非
常有动力去
)master
English.
First
of
all,
learning
English
us
useful,
as
it
is
becoming
a
world
language and people
from different countries often communicate with
one another in English. If I
am
good
at
English,
it
will
be
much
easier
for
me
to
communicate
with
them.
Secondly,
I
like
traveling
a
lot,
a good
mastery
of
English
will
make
things
much
easier
for
me
when
traveling
around
the
world.
Finally,
I
like
literature
a
lot.
If
I
am
very
good
at
English,
I
can
read
great
works
by
Shakespeare
and
Dickens
and
many
other
English
writers
instead
of
reading
the
translated
versions
（翻译版）
. So I think I
will work ever harder to learn English well.
2)
Why I hate to learn English
I have learned English for about seven
years. I should say the more I learn English, the
more I
hate it. First of all, learning
English is boring. I have to
memorize
（记住）
many new words
or
rely
on
a
dictionary
to
frequently
check
unknown
words.
Doing
so
wastes
a
lot
of
my
precious time. Secondly,
I don
’
t understand why we
have to learn a foreign language. I
don
’
t
want to go
abroad and I can always find a job that
doesn
’
t need English in
China. Finally, I
can always read
translated versions of the books I want to read.
So if I d
on’
t have to learn
English. I would rather use the time I
spend on English to do things I like.
Unit 2
In about
100-120 words, write about a conflict you once had

criticize me the other day
……

that I
didn
’
t hear him. He stepped
into my room, apparently in anger,
grabbed(
抓起
) my
book
and
threw
it
on
the
floor.
I
got
upset
and
insisted
that
he
should
pick
it
up
and
apologize
to me. When he remained silent, I ran our and went
off to play games with
my friends in
the
neighborhood
（家庭所在的街区）
. When
it was turning dark, I saw
my father
looking around for me, he patted me on the head
and walked back home with
e,
his
arm
wrapped
around
my
shoulder.
When
I
got
home,
I
saw
my
book
had
“
returned
”
to my reading table.

）
I
was grateful that my mother criticized me that
other day
. I had been asking her for
money to buy all kinds of things that
my friends have-a new pair of shoes or some new
clothes.
Every
time
I
was
refused,
I
played
the
same
trick
(
玩
同
样
的
把
1
戏
)
—
threateni
ng to
（威胁）
pour
the dish she cooked for the family into the river.
My
mother gave in each time I
threatened to do that, but one day, she criticized
me really
hard. She
scolded
me for being selfish
(
批评我自私自利
)and
inconsiderate
（不会体
谅他人）
and asked
me to sit in a corner and reflect on
（反思）
my own behavior. I
couldn
’
t believe
my mother would be so angry with me and I grew
afraid, I learned a
good
lesson
and
changed
a
lot
afterwards.
I
was
thankful
that
my
mother
made
me
realize my mistake.

not
a

simple person who is happy and smiles a lot. Maybe
being happy is the attraction, I like
bright colours, especially red. It is said that
people
who

red
are
passionate

of
energy.
I
agree
that
I
am
enthusiastic
a
bout(

personality

most
about
this
person.

a high
achiever(

young,

work.
For
example,
he

a
presti

优等的）
scholarship
（奖学金）
to study at a well-
known medical school
in
England. Today,
at
the
age
of
62,
he
is
still
as
outstanding.
He
is
a
well-
respected
surgeon and has
won many
awards
（获得奖励）

most about ba shu Iis his
sensitive
nature, especially towards children who are born
unlucky. He has volunteered
his time
and
made sacrifices to
（为、

、
、
作出牺牲）<

help those in poor and
developing
countries. His strong desire
to bring happiness to these people has impressed
me a lot.

a
wish

change
your

about
two
personality traits that you would like
