years old already. On the right wall, a row of hooks was covered with
dirty sweet-shirts and filthy hats. Directly in front of me was a dusty
desk, on which scattered lots of books, some of which were open as if
waiting for my lazy brother’s attention; others were piled up in
disorder ready to slide down at any moment. Near the desk, there was a
toppled poor chair on the floor with one leg damaged. What’s worse, the
bed which was against the left wall was a more serious mess and the
pairs of sports shoes and socks under the bed gave out a terrible smell.

文章解析
(1)
In the past five years, there have been changes in people’s diet.
Grain, as the main food of most Chinese, is now playing a less important
role in people’s diet, while the proportion of some high-energy food,
such as milk, meat has increased.
What caused these changes? I
think there are two reasons. First, people now have more money. The
price of meat and milk is much higher than that of grain. In the old
days, people couldn’t afford them. Now they have enough money to but
meat and milk. Second, people of nowadays pay more attention to the
structure of their diet. They are seeking the most reasonable diet
structure which will do good to their health.
In short, there have been changes in people’s diet in the past five years and there will be changes in the future, too.
(2)
In the past five years people’s diet had changed quite a lot. The grain
was no longer the main food of people’s diet. It decreased from 49% to
45%. And the possession of the fruit and vegetables was declined,
either. But, however, the necessary of the milk and meat was increased
with no doubt. Such case owned to two reasons.
On the one hand, the
level of people’s lives had greatly advanced. More and more people
could afford the expensive food. On the other hand, modern science had
been developed with high speed. Then people began to be aware of
choosing more useful food.
With the developing of the society, people’s diet will change more greatly.
(3)
Diet is very important in people’s life. In past five, there is a big
change in all kinds of food. For example, Grain. In 1986 it takes 40
percent in Diet in after four years. It discrease 4 per cent in diet;
Milk increase 3 per cent in last five years. It grows to 13 per cent in
Diet; Meat in 1986-1989, it kept to grow up. An in 1990, it down 2 per
cent; Fruit and vegetables is discrease in last five years.
Why it
will have these changes. It is two side, the first is people began to
see that Milk. Meat. Fruit and Vegetable are very importance in people’s
bodies, the other is people’s life is quite good. They have enough
money to buy Meat, Milk, Etc. They know how to build them bodies.
In last five years. Big changes in people’s Diet. It call us more and more people know. Share them Diet and build them bodies.

成文:
Develop Western Regions
The large scale development of West China is of profound significance.
First, it will open a broad development space for central and eastern
regions. Besides, it’s critical to China’s overall economic rise. What’s
more, it’s the only effective way to decrease the imbalance of economic
development in the ease and west so as to revitalize our nation.
There are various reasons why the landlocked west has lagged behind in
its economic development. The chief reason, I think, is that the opening
up policies enable the east to lure more foreign capital and make a
fantastic spur in its development. As a result, it leaves the west far
behind in its economic growth. In addition, the west’s unique
unfavorable geographic positions greatly limit its development.
Therefore, the gaps between the west and the east have been widened
since China’s reform. In fact, many regions in the west will still
remain comparatively underdeveloped. To illustrate, most of the 30
million poor populations, who still have subsistence problems, live
there. Moreover, currently the per capital GDP in West China is only
about 60% of national average. And the vast West China makes less
contribution to the nation’s development. If left unchanged, the
underdevelopment in the west will greatly affect overall prosperity and
even social stability.
However, the western region development is a
long-term systematic project. It calls for tremendous effort of several
generations. To sum up, our chief goal is to build West China with
economic prosperity, social progress, political stability and beautiful
landscape. Finally, I believe the west will catch up with the east in
its economic development in the near future.

EXAMPLE 2
Changes in People’s Diet
There have been some changes nowadays in the diet of the Chinese.(1)(主旨句) For example, grain, the main food of most people in China, is now
playing a less important role, while the consumption of high-nutrition
food such as milk, meat has increased.(2)(扩展句)
The changes in diet
can be accounted for by a number of factors.(3)(主题句) First, people are
much wealthier than before.(4)(扩展句) With a higher income, they can
afford to buy good foods which, in the past, were rarely seen on the
dinner tables of ordinary families.(5)(扩展句) Another factor is that
people have realized the importance of a balanced diet to their health.
(6)(扩展句) Lack of certain amount of meat or milk, for example, will
result in poor health.(7)(扩展句) Finally, owing to the economic reform,
meat and milk, which were scarce in the past, are produced in large
quantities.(8)(扩展句) For all those reasons, what was formerly called “the
basket of vegetables” has become that of varied foods.(9)(小结句)
To sum up, insignificant as those changes may seem, they are the signs of
