4、考试
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition
on the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words and
base your composition on the outline below:
1、大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩,
2、考生可能带来的副作用,
3、我对考试的看法。
In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means
of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular
subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also
enormous.
To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers
are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their
students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely
through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most
undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the
examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student
is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.
In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really
important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot
we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than
examinations?
5、老师
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition
on the topic The most unforgettable Teacher I ever Know. You should write at
least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、我生活中最难忘的老师是……
2、为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀,
3、结论。
In my life I have met a great many teachers who are really worth recalling.
But perhaps the most unforgettable one I ever know is my English teacher.
What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special
qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer―an
awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of
the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused
our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Second, I was
attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his
class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never
failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.
Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the
talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my
heart.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a Chinese student who wishes to apply for admission into your
prestigious university. My plan is to start my course next term, and I would be
grateful if you would be kind enough to provide me with certain essential
information.
First, what qualifications do I need to follow a course of study at your
university? I already have a bachelor’s degree from Beijing University, but I
wonder if there are any further academic requirements. Second, how much are the
tuition fees? Although I intend to be self-supporting, I would be interested to

what is the situation regarding accommodation?
I look forward to your reply, and to attending your esteemed
institution.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
