Donating Money on Campus
1．如今校园里经常会出现大学生捐款的现象（为同学或者别人）
2．你怎么看待这种现象？
【范文】
Recently many university students launch spontaneous donations for helping classmates suffering from serious illnesses or victims in disasters. Along with the behavior of donating, the donation amount has become a controversial topic. Some even hold the opinion that the amount is a standard for measuring love. The more amounts are donated, the more help the needed can get.
I support that donation for the needed is a kind of behavior which shows kind giving, unselfish and priceless devotion, benefiting in improving interpersonal relationship and building up a harmonious society. What matters a lot is not how much money is donated, but the care and support hidden behind.
All in all, the behavior of donation itself should be encouraged, but it shouldn’t become a competition. The money donated cannot be equated with the love and the meaning hidden. Every penny is an expression of love.
【点评】
文章首段引出要讨论的话题—--大学生捐款现象，并引出由这一现象衍生出的人们对捐款金额的争议，甚至有的人认为捐款数目越多，需要获得帮助人受益越多。第二段提出自己对捐款一事的看法---捐款是一种行善积德，无私奉献，大公无私的行为，有助于改善人际关系，创建和谐社会。最后一段进行归纳总结，说明应该鼓励捐款这一行为，但不应该将捐款视为一种“金钱”的竞争，无论捐多捐少，每一分每一厘都意义深重。
第一段中launch spontaneous donations表示“发起自发捐款”，后面for 接的是捐款救助的对象；第二段中improving interpersonal relationship表示“改善人际关系”，building up a harmonious society表示“创建和谐社会”；第三段中的cannot be equated with表示“与……相提并论”。
Dependence on Internet
1．人们对网络的依赖性越来越强（甚至连小学生做作业都会上网去搜索答案）
2．出现这种现象的原因和后果
3．为了改变这种情况，我认为……
【范文】
Internet has penetrated into all aspects of our life and work. On the Internet, we can do anything anywhere anytime, hunting jobs, chatting with friends, shopping online, and so on. What strikes us most is some students, even in primary schools, search for answers on Internet while doing their homework.
The motives for dependence on Internet are various and complicated, including releasing dissatisfaction and anger against society by playing computer games, fulfilling self-value by indulging in the virtual world. Most of them are related with their environment of growing up. Without appropriate guidance, it may cause serious mental illnesses and bad habits such as laziness.
In order to change the situation, governments should take measures to enrich people’s life, parents should share more time with children for understanding them better, and teachers should aim to develop students’self-discipline. Most importantly, people should be aware of the harmfulness of depending on Internet too much.
【点评】
本题属于提纲式文字命题。文章第一段指出现象“网络已经渗透到生活的点点滴滴，导致人们习惯于依赖网络”；第二段分析了依赖网络的动机----通过玩游戏发泄不满和怨恨情绪，在虚拟世界中实现自我价值，同时也指出其危害---导致严重的心理疾病及不良恶习。最后一段从政府、家长、老师的不同角度提出解决意见。
第二段中releasing dissatisfactory and anger 表示“发泄不满和怨恨”；indulging in the virtual world表示“沉迷于虚拟世界”；第三段中be aware of表示“意识到”。
My View on University Students’ Employment

2．你对此有什么看法？
【范文】
Nowadays, the employment of college students is still the main concern since many of them cannot find jobs. When looking to the reasons, some agree it is due to the increasing enrollment of universities, some think the degradation of ability accounts, while others believe it should blame governments for not offering enough occupations.
The following factors can account for this problem.First and foremost,college students hold wrong attitudes towards jobs and set their job objectives at unreasonable levels. Furthermore, college students fail to realize their own defects and to make further self-improvements. Last but by no means the least, the courses offered by colleges cannot meet the requirements of economic development. What’s more, related departments have not provided more trainings and internship opportunities, which benefit students a lot before they enter into the society.
All in all, only through the combined efforts of related ones can college students find satisfactory jobs.
