best motivation and reward

before you hit the roads to achieve a goal, have you ever given any thought to your motivation or what are you expecting to get as a reward? attitudes towards this question vary from person to person. some people claim that wealth and fame is the best motivation and reward, others believe that the fulfillment of a job well done is its own reward. in my opinion, the later point holds more water. in the end, it is the joy in the journey that truly matters.

doing the work with the attempt to be rich or famous will bring an unfortunate outcome and even will lead us to a dangerous situation. gradually, we will consider wealth and fame as the most important things in our lives instead of the care of our parents, or our ‘friends-time’. besides, this kind of thought might have bad effects on our work, since we only care about how much money we earn or how to get as many glories as we can, we may tend to forget the original significance of doing the job and can’t concentrate our minds on doing the job well. thus our work efficiency will be reduced and it is unlikely that we can make a great development in our own career. what’s worse, once we fail to get or lose all those glories or wealth, we may feel rather depressed, empty and even sink into a desperate situation.

however, if we change our train of thought and attach more importance to the sense of happiness and fulfillment by accomplishing some simple things, our life will become more wonderful. we won’t get tired of our work and we will be courageous enough to overcome all the

obstacle on our road and enjoy the abundant happiness that the job brings to us. every workday is like a journey full of surprise and delight. besides, without the burden of wealth or fame, we can immerge ourselves into the job and there is a good chance that we can achieve a lot. in this case, although we don’t aim for wealth and fame, wealth and fame will follow naturally. if not, we will not feel discouraged, as we firmly believe that the happiness and fulfillment during the journey is the best reward for our work.

van gogh sold only one painting during his life, but this didn’t stop him from completing over 800 paintings because he never aims to make money or get fame when he creates new works. as for van gogh, he values the process of pursuing instead of the results. it’s the pleasure and fulfillment in the process of creating gives him abundant motivation. if van gogh had always been fascinated in fame and wealth, he would not have had such wonderful works and the world would never have had such a genius of art.

as a senior high student who are preparing for the college entrance examination, we can’t say that the scores is not important. but i still strongly recommend that we should cherish the process of our learning and enjoy the perpetual and interior happiness it brings to us. no matter whether we succeed in the end or not, we have got the best reward for our work.

writing

nowadays a lot of chinese celebrate western festivals. some people are afraid that this would lead to the loss of chinese culture. what do you think? write an essay of about 400 words.

the celebration of western festivals

no one can have failed to notice the fact that western festivals gain ever-increasing popularity in china. an increasing number of chinese are fond of celebrating western festivals today. on valentine’s day, many people, especially the young, give flowers or chocolate to the one they love; when christmas approaches, nearly every store put on decorations like santa claus, snowflakes and even christmas trees, not to mention the millions of people immersed in the thrilling atmosphere of festival on christmas eve; even such holidays as halloween and the easter day are becoming known and celebrated by more and more chinese. in comparison, such traditional chinese festivals as the spring festival, the festival of lanterns and the mid-autumn day seem to be losing their attraction.

in view of such a situation, many are worried that chinese culture will be ignored or even ruined by the invasion of western festivals. personally, i believe that we needn’t be over worried. actually, the increasing popularity of some western festivals in china is nothing accidental, but some thing justifiable.

first, it is a part of cultural globalization. with the development of communication science and technology and along with more and more nations opening up to the outside world, the world today has turned into a global village, with many national things becoming international. china is no exception. while we are absorbing advanced science and technology from foreign countries, we are also taking in different cultures.

secondly, it is a sign of china’s rejuvenating. as a nation boasting a civilization of 5,000 years, chinese have been known for their spirit of accommodation or open-mindedness. china used to be a melting pot of cultures as the u.s. is today. in the prosperous tang dynasty, china was host to travelers and settlers from over the world. actually, being accommodating is a sign of any thriving nation. therefore, we should be pleased rather than upset to see chinese people embracing foreign festivals.

it is true that some traditional chinese festivals are losing their appeal to man

y people, but this does not necessarily the ruin of chinese culture. actually, a closer inspection reveals that most chinese celebrate western festivals merely out of the wish to seek novelty, to find a new way to entertain themselves or to express their identity in the face of the older generation. on the other hand, most chinese have not ignored their native festivals. a convincing proof is that the spring festival still sees the largest flow of population in the world as most chinese rush to their homes for family reunion.

in a word, while we are giving priority to the preservation and development of traditional chinese culture, we need’t worry too much about the inflow of foreign culture.

some people claim that, in the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was and that people can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading

books. do you agree or disagree with this statement? write an essay of about 400 words.

books speak as loud as tv

this is an era filled with various scientific achievements, and television is one of the most flamboyant among them, influencing several generations behavior by molding them into the same mindset regardless of their race, gender, and background. intoxicated by the superficial success of tv culture, some throw the irresponsible statement that reading is not as important as it once was, for people can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books. this is far from the truth. though television has become an integral part of our daily lives, the role that books play is still irreplaceable and merits further advocating.

admittedly, television gives us an option to traditional education through reading and classroom teaching. indeed the vivid images it produces succeed in the education of children, who are much more inclined to accept visual information than abstract letters or characters. television also raises our consciousness by providing the latest news and discoveries, extending our horizon by such documentary programs as national geographic and discovery, whose contents might otherwise be unapproachable in an entire lifetime.

despite all these advantages, the shortcomings of televisions are equally, if not more, apparent. television stations operate as profit enterprises. consequently, television programs are profit-based, and their commercial orientation drives them to be entertaining more so than educational, for the latter are typically less profitable.

furthermore, watching television can neither provoke abstract thinking, which is most crucial in advanced scientific research, nor can it teach effective management and adequate control of written language. written language carries the utmost importance in inheritance and dissemination of knowledge. books contain the collective human experience, knowledge and wisdom. human talents of abstract thought, logical dialogue, philosophy and writing style can be acquired only through the reading, digesting, and rumination of novels, texts, essays and speeches. shallow, short-sighted, entertainment programs offer no such eichment.

in addition, watching television tends to overemphasize machinery, ignoring humanity. open an ancient book and read the comments by those living centuries ago, thousands of miles away. the book itself connects readers and writers across time and space, giving one the sense of belonging to one large human family. lying on sofa watching television with popcorn in hand can only cause isolation, alienation and depression.

borrowing the saying john keats inscribed on his tombstone, we can describe television programs as written on water. they are ephemeral. whereas for books, as william shakespeare wrote, nothing of them doth fade/but doth suffer a seachange/ into something rich and strange.

topic 3

in some elementary or secondary schools, students are asked to wear school uniform. when asked why, school authorities said that it is conducive to students’

teamwork and discipline. do you share such justification? write a composition of about 400 words to state your view.

i

students should be required to wear school uniform

of all the great changes that have taken place in the system of compulsory education, school uniform of diverse patterns has proved to be a success. today, however, a controversy towards school uniform stretches widely as it is feared that such uniform somewhat diminishes the individual personality of students. my opinion is that it is worth the praise it has received.

in the first place, school uniform helps students foster team spirit and strengthen the spirit of cooperation. providing a sense of unity, the uniform makes everyone feel that he or she is influential and indispensable in the team. regardless of performance in class or examination, one student is wearing the same clothes as the others and working on his share for the team responsibility. naturally they will be willing to participate in the team and proud of their contributions. brought up in this caring and inclusive environment, students will have an easy time functioning in new community and collaborating with coworkers.

in the second place, school uniform reinforces the sense of equality for a diversified student body. school uniform tends to narrow down the discrepancy between students from families of low and high economic status. in this sense it may help lift some psychological obstacles. owing to school uniform, the bias against poor students will disappear gradually. had it not been for school uniform, wearing shabby clothes would be a constant reminder of poor family conditions. and what’s worse, they would feel ashamed of whom they are and the low self-esteem may have adverse impacts on study.last but not least, school uniform takes effect when accidents occur and the safety of students is endangered. the name or logo of school printed on uniform will help witness to know the victim’s identity and come to timely and efficient aid.

on the whole, students will benefit a great deal from their uniforms for the reasons ranging from their personality cultivation to aids in face of danger. considering all above factors, it bears no reasoning to abandon school uniform.

why do i attend university?

every summer hundreds of thousands of young students attend the college entrance examination, fighting hard to be among the lucky ones to enter universities. but have this large crowd asked themselves such a question: why do you want to go to university? it is dangerous if so many people try so hard to do something without clear purposes. for me, going to university can fulfill three important purposes.

the most direct motive for going to university is to secure a good job in the future. with the largest population in the world, china is certainly to be a gathering place of labor force. when there is more than enough labor force, one has to be extraordinary in order to succeed in the job market. as not all young people can go to university now, an education experience in university is sure to guarantee some advantages. if you open a classified advertisement, you may find that most of the well-paying jobs require a

university degree or higher. therefore, without university education, i cannot possibly find a decent job to support myself and my family.

besides good job and income, a more important motive for going to university is to acquire knowledge. since high school i have become increasingly interested in learning knowledge. i was usually fascinated by what teachers taught in various classes, and this curiosity drives me to know more. i have found that things taught in high school are just on very basic level. if i want to dig deeper, the best place is here at university. with the help of professors and books, i can learn the knowledge more thoroughly and systematically. i wont be satisfied with my life unless i can satisfy my curiosity for knowledge in university.

the most profound motive for going to university is to make some contributions. due to the influence of my parents, i do not just want to just support myself in the society; i also want to do something for the society. of course i dont have to go to university in order to make this contribution, but i find that more education can surely help me do it better. history reveals that those who have made more contributions are invariably better educated. great figures like newton, einstein are all well educated. how can i make more contributions without university education?

therefore, three motives drive me into the gate of my university. i come here for a good job, for more knowledge, and most importantly, for better contributions. i am sure with the knowledge i learn here, i will achieve the three purposes. and i am also sure that other people will also find university education rewarding to their life.

on volunteer

黄昕彤 辽宁省鞍山市鞍山一中108班

the definition of the word volunteer in lougnan（longman） dictionary is someone who helps others sponstaneously（spontaneously） and willingly. thats true! life is a style of enjoying yourself, not only by entertaing and eiding yourself, but also by the process of helping others.

undoubtfully, those volunteers reveal their great love and passion for their country. love is the eternal theme of the world, without hove(love), its like birds without wings, failing to show its talents of flying, its like spring without flowers, burying is charming fragrants in the deep soil. their volunty work unites china, shouing the world how united chinese people are shocking the world of its cooperation.

people around the country are making their efforts to helping others, which leaves the world an impression that china is a veal country, and all the people here are like brothers and sisters, who cares a lot for others. you can never imagine how touched i was when i watched the tv program called “moving china”. 13 peasants from tangshang volunteered to help those victims of sichuang on hearing the tremendous earthquake happened there, leaving all their farm work done in the field they sacrifiled anything and helped others at any cost, for they knew the glant pains the earthquake brings to people. they can never forget how much pains they havendertaken in the earthquake and how much help they have received from the world. they compared their own feelings to the victims and passed the splrit on. in this sense, people will pass the spirit from generation to queneration, from china to all over the world. then, how sweet will the world be!

i have a dream that one day, i will be a member of the volunteer team. i have a dream that oneday, ill make contributions to china however slightest it may be. i have a dream that one day ill be a founder of a world charity, helping people all over the world. im firmly convinced that it will not only be a drean for me, but also a drean for people all over china, all over the world, and for the great global village.

to be a volunteer ，bring a ray of sunshine

陈天悦 山东省济南市山东省齐钢高级中学高三4班

dear tom:

it is a great pleasure for me to have the wondeful chance to put pen to paper and send my greetings to you. you said that you wanted to be a volunteer and didnt know whether you should or not. i want to help you analyse it.

in my opinion. i think it is not noly a good chance to help others but also a good opportunity to make selp-improvement. youd better participate in the volunteer work. if we compane youth to flouers, as is often the case, then the young volunteers are the most beautiful flowers. by joining in the vounteer work, you will leam how to help others and how to love others. whats more you can also find it out that there are many people suffering from disaster and then you will value your comfortable life. although you may feel very tired as a volunteer and it may cost you much time to help others, i still insist that you should be a volunteer because the advantages bright about by volunteer work overweigh the

disadvantages.

it all the people refused to be volunteers, the people suffered from the may 12 earthquake could lose heart and most of them wouldnt have the chance to survive from that disaster. if none of the people wanted to be a volunteer, the beijing olympic games would be a failure. if every people didnt feel like being a volunteer, there would be no people cleaning the environment and protecting the beautiful scenery automatically. it was terrible! from all mentioned above, volunteers play a very important part in our daily life. to be a volunteer will gain glory for china. as is brow to all, chinese children are always laughed at for lack of practice. so to be a volunteer is a good chance to canpensate for it.

from my point of view, its high time that you became a volunteer and learned to help others. if everyone makes a contribution to helping others, the world will be much more beautiful!

at last, wish you all the best!

yours sincerely.

lily.

专家建议：

一篇文章的结构是评判该文章优劣的重要参考标准，但结构显然不够简洁清晰，所以建议作者能在平时多阅读英文报纸上的文章，有意识地观察规范的英语文章是怎样设计结构的。

专家点评：

文章二三段的结构很混乱，建议这样的文章段落都应写成总、分、总的形式更能突出文章的逻辑性，并在“分”的部分也一条一条分开写，而不是都堆在一段内，让人分不清哪句是观点哪句是论证，很混乱。另外注意同义词的替换已是文章表达更丰富，比如文章中多次出现的帮助他人就都是使用：help others就显得过于单一了~ volunteers

李彦妮 辽宁省鞍山市鞍山一中10.14班

there is a vivid saying that every glorious event is justifiably connected with volunteers who is a group of people, holding the fundemental to help others without pay-back benefits. in 1993, when the new word burt out among social society, most of us gave a slur to it in considering of economy. the special group, however, is just like a river - small at first, contained within its banks, flood passionally then merged into the sea, for the sense of moral considerations. and now, i quite support to be a volunteer.

we can never forget these moving scenes: a group of adolecents from beijing dashed to the city of wenchuan who gave up their comfortable living situations and picked up the heavy burden to save people buried into the ground, while a middle aged white collar who threw away his computer and salary came here to fetch wictims lives from the death. it is volunteers who rushed to this place which has suffered from the catastrophe that gave a great help to those victims in need. a volunteer can support a piece of sky, and this one reason i am eager to join them.

专家点评：作者尽量用到了一些高级词语和句型，表明作者有一定的英语功底，但是小的错误频发，如单词拼写，语法问题，句子逻辑，这在某一方面也表明作者的基本功有待提高，继续努力。

专家建议：用词准确是写作的基础。对于学习英语的中国学生来说，背单词扩大词汇量是有必要的，但遗憾的是，学生们背的大都是单词的“外壳”，记的大都是单词的表意或字典提供的大致意思，而基本上忽视了词在语境中的作用和词的“精神”。这种只记单词表意的学习方法对提高语言的运用能力，特别是写作能力是极其不利的。

let us shine

徐叶子 江苏省张家港市张家港外国语学校高二4班

volunteers are just like diamonds in the sun, and the diamonds are forever, especially the youth. volunteer work is just like a miracle. from the may 12th earthquake to the 2008 beijing olympic games, volunteer work made unbelievable contributions.

60 years ago our country was set up, today we will celebrate its 60th birthday. in this process, volunteer work did a lot of help and now our country is standing in the world just like a giant. in the past years, volunteers have helped a large number of people, the old, the young, the poor and the homeless. all the volunteers know that the road ahead will be long and cragged, but no matter what obstacles stand in their way they will never stop. because they have a creed and they believe everything is possible. oh the creed of volunteer work, you make volunteers keep on going without hesitation. oh the creed of volunteer work, you make volunteers hand in hand and be with together forever. oh the creed of volunteer work, you make volunteers go to the edge of the world and let them know the true meaning of life. do you know what the creed is? yes, it is love. with love, volunteer work makes people open their mind and let them find the sky is theirs. with love, volunteer work makes people look into their hearts and let the sunshine in. with love, volunteer work makes people believe that smilers will never lose and frowners will never win.

i know something has changed because of volunteer work. i know it for real because it feels so right and the world looks so much brighter. love is important to volunteer work and volunteer work is important to the whole world.

the infinite sky is motionless and the blue ocean is boisterous. this moment is perfect. let us become volunteers and try our best in volunteer work. it can be the start of something new and its our turn to learn some or win some. so, lets make a wish and get ready to shine like diamonds.

专家建议：

建议该考生在语言流畅的基础之上，注意两方面问题。第一，用词更具体些，避免使用语义较为空泛的表达，如learn some or win some。第二，文章华美有余，但逻辑层次不足。需加强句子与句子之间以及段落与段落间的逻辑性。

专家点评：

该作文使用了很多修辞方式，从这一点上看，作者在学习英语的过程中一定是位有心人，注重边阅读边积累背诵。同时能看出，作者一定是一位喜爱英文歌曲的人，文中很多表达都来自于音乐歌词。但在遣词造句时，需要区分口头表达和较书面表达，在这点上，文章还有提高的空间。
