1完全正面阐述自己观点，classification.Now many universities are asking their students to evaluate their teachers. Many students are excited at this, but most teachers seem to hold different opinion. Do you think it is a good idea? Write a composition of about 400 words to state you opinion. You should supply a title of your composition.Benefits of Evaluating TeachersIn the past, only teachers evaluated students, and students were not allowed to evaluate their teachers formally. But now with the idea of equality between teachers and students as well as ensuring teaching quality, many universities have asked students evaluate teachers. People have voiced(=say) different opinions about this practice. I think it is very beneficial for schools to ask students to evaluate their teachers.First of all, evaluating teachers is helpful for teachers. Information from this evaluation informs teachers of how students react both to their teaching methods and to them as individuals. Teachers can weigh the criticisms and change what they think needs to be changed. Besides, praise from students is also valuable because it can encourage them to stick to popular teaching methods. Therefore, teachers stand to gain从中获利a lot from such practice.Besides, evaluating teachers is also beneficial to school administrators. It keeps administrators in touch with what’s going on in school so that they can assign teachers to ensure teaching quality. In addition, knowing students’ opinions about their teachers can also help administrators coordinate the relation between the two parties, thus creating a harmonious environment in school. When administrators can make use of teachers in the most efficient way and can ensure a friendly relation between teachers and students, they can make the school run smoothly like a humming machine.The greatest benefit, of course, should go to属于students. As is mentioned above如上所示, by evaluating teachers, students can encourage teachers and administrators to offer teaching of best quality. Good teaching quality means much immediate benefit for students. Moreover, evaluating teachers can also cultivate students’sense of ownership and a sense of responsibility. Being allowed to evaluate their teachers means that the university regards them as adults who can act in proper ways. This trust can let students think sensibly and express cautiously rather than scribble 乱写casual comments as they might have down in the past.So better sense of ownership and responsibility, better administration, and better teachers represent the benefits that evaluating teachers can bring about. Although some teachers are nervous about letting students have a say, I believe that in the end, the university will gain a lot as a whole.

Many of them have complaints about the requirement and would prefer to live off campus. Here comes the question: should universities allow students to live off campus? My answer is positive, for indeed there are several advantages of off-campus living compared with dorm living.（example）The first and most obvious advantage is that off campus living allows more freedom. For example, as off-campus apartments are usually more spacious than dorm rooms, we can enjoy decorating freedom than living in a compared shared dorm. More importantly, we will not have to follow as many rules as living on campus; instead, we can set our own and live the way we want. We can cook our own food, occasionally偶尔stay up night reading, hold a small party and invite whoever we would like to when we are in the mood.None of these will be likely to happen可能发生if we are confined禁闭（negative word used in oppsite opinion）to a school dorm. （总结句。

没提到对立观点不好，但是由于对方没有我观点包含的好处，所以支持了自己观点）Living off campus can also give us more privacy. Living outside college means in many cases having an apartment or at least a room of our own. Thus, we will not hesitate about where to go when we prefer to stay alone; we will not worry about someone eavesdropping偷听when we are having a private conversation; we will not be disturbed when we are revising复习for an important exam.（parallelism）Therefore, living off campus brings us much more personal space and ensures a life of ease.（将developing sentence 做summary）**In addition, living off campus can prepare us for the life after graduation. For one thing, living outside college will help us to be more self-reliant自力更生. If we live off campus, we will be in charge of paying bills, shopping grocery, cleaning house and making meals. We will learn gradually how to budge, how to bargain, and how to live on our own. What we get from this experience is a great asset巨大的财富to us in both future work and life. For another, living off campus can promote（=develop）our time management skills. Since we have to spend relatively more time taking care of daily chores and traveling to and from campus, we must try tolead a more scheduled and structured lifestyle. In this attempt we will learn to make every minute count.分秒必争All in all, living off campus not only offers college students more personal freedom and space, but also is a lifestyle to cultivate their independence and practical living skills. Therefore, for students’ sake（for one’s sake, 看在帮助学生的份上）, universities should allow them to live off campus.3段落写作技巧：对比Now Internet has almost become the symbol of information age. Some think that it is very great invention because by it, they can do many things that were impossible before. But some view Internet with much disapproval because it distracts people’s attention rather than help people do things better. What is your opinion about the influence of Internet on the modern society? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:Internet and the Modern SocietyRecently the influence of Internet has attracted much public attention. People worry about the time wasted on it, the damage caused by virus spread on it, and most of all, some violent crimes committed due to the violent games played on it. All these concerns may be reasonable. But if we take a broader perspective, we may find that Internet has had many positive impacts on the modern society.First of all, Internet has made the access to information more convenient. In the past, people could get information they wanted through only limited channels, such as newspaper, radio, and television. This means that only a certain amount of people could get the information at a certain time and in a certain place. But now with the help of Internet, people can get information no matter when they want. As a researcher has pointed out, information explosion means that people live in the ocean of information, and Internet has been essential to make that true.Besides, Internet has also made communication more convenient. Sociologists agree that communication is vital to maintain harmonious human relation, but the communication was rather inconvenient in the past despite the continuous improvement of technology. Letters have been so slow as to be nicknamed “snail mail”; telegraph and telephone may be quicker, but they have been very costly. But now many new communication tools developed on the basis of the Internet, such as e-mail, msn and QQ, have made talking to a person extremely quick, convenient, and virtually free of charge. This will undoubtedly improve the human relation in the modern world.The most important impact, however, is that Internet has made social interaction more convenient. Before the Internet era, various social institutes had only limited options to choose from if theywanted to reach the public, and naturally the result was usually unsatisfactory. But now in the Internet era, all these institutes can setup their own websites, which can not only provide the public with information but also collect reaction from the public. For example, the government can collect people’s opinion about a certain project through the Internet, producers can promote products through Internet, and universities can clarify admission policies through Internet. The result is that Internet can help to bring about a more open, fair and interactive society.In summary, more convenient social interaction, personal communication and access to information are the three major changes the Internet has made in the modern society. Although there do exist some problems with the Internet, these positive influences certainly are more important. What we should do is to find measures to solve the problems rather than just talk about them. Just as the proverb goes, we should not stop eating for feat of being choked.

I was ecstatic about being accepted by my ideal university after 12 year’s hard work, but soon my heart sank when I saw the required tuition—5000 Yuan per year. Though my parents managed to send me to college at last, my education put them in debt. I count myself lucky, but speaking for the unlucky, I do not agree that universities should charge high tuition fess.First of all, high tuition may shut disadvantaged students out from college. Generally speaking, current tuition fees are well beyond what low-income families, especially those in rural areas, can afford. According to a latest survey, in our country, a farmer’pure income every year is about 3,000 Y uan; in contrast, the average tuition fee of an undergraduate is around 6,000 Yuan, not including the living and medical expenses. That is to say, a four-year higher education at least costs a farmer’s eight-year income. Considering the huge input, many farmers give up idea of sending children to college.Moreover, the current tuition many universities are charging is too steep to be reasonable. The education law stipulates that students need to pay 25 percent of education costs. However, as amatter of fact, a large number of students are now charged as much as half of actual education costs. In other words, their tuition fees are much higher than what they should pay. Indeed, compared with 13 to 15 percent that foreign students pay their universities, Chinese college students seem to be paying the highest percentage of education costs in the world. There is no denying that is not fair if universities charge high tuition to shift their financial burden to students’shoulders.驳斥对方观点Many experts claim that universities charge high tuition to offer a better teaching and learning environment. There is a great deal of truth in what they say, but the better way for universities to meet the need is to explore all possible sources of finances rather than mainly rely on collecting tuition. For example, they can build their own enterprises based on academic and technical strengths to increase income; they can hold various activities to raise funds. Therefore, good learning conditions will not necessarily result from high tuition.To sum up, the current tuition charged by many universities tend to exceed what many families can afford and what students should pay, plus every university has both the duty and ability to find other sources of finances for its development. For the above reasons, I hold that universities should not charge high tuition fees.5Should Universities Charge High Tuition Fees?Nowadays, most universities in China require students to pay for their education, and the tuition fess are staying high, ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 Yuan per year. Many people disapprove of the requirements as it imposes as a heavy financial burden on ordinary families who send children to college. However, from where I stand, universities have sufficient reasons to charge high fees.First of all, universities need a large sum of money to offer good teaching resources. For example, they have to invest a lot in the construction or renovation of teaching buildings, multimedia equipment and maintenance, acquisition of more books and Internet access for students and teachers. Besides, some reagents and instruments required for science classes are very expensive, especially those brought in from abroad. Above all, universities need to supply an excellent salary and benefits package to win over elite professors in various academic fields so asto build a competitive teaching and research term. In short, it is very costly to provide a satisfying higher education.Second, universities have to pay a lot to maintain a normal campus life. In China, most universities are like small self-sufficient communities: they not only offer students teaching and learning resources but also living faculties such as dorms, canteens, shops and hospitals on campus. Meanwhile, universities must make sure that essential supplies like water and electricity are adequate for thousands of students. Also, universities employ a number of service personnel such as cleaners and security guards to keep campus tidy and safe. In some cases, to take in some students, they have to extend campuses by buying new lands and building more facilities. None of the above would be possible without enough finances. Therefore, it takes large amounts of constant input to keep a campus life going smoothly, and tuition is pat of this sources.Considering the above factors, universities cannot afford to cut down current tuition though it exerts great financial pressure on students from low-income families. In my opinion, a more practical way to resolve the conflict lies in establishing a new social institution favorable to disadvantaged students. For example, banks should be ready to provide them with interest-free loans; companies should also be encouraged to finance higher education; more educational foundations should be set up to improve the situation, too. Thus, with a joint effort, the development of both universities and students can be better secured.In conclusion, universities should not be blamed for charging high tuition fees. Though the requirement places a heavy financial burden on students and their families, the problem can be solved with a joint social effort.6对比As a major of English language and literature, you may have developed some interest in literature, such as reading movies. At the same time, movies, which are based on literary works, are also very popular among students. Suppose you can choose to read the novel or watch the movie about a story you have never heard of, which one do you prefer. Write an article of about 400 words to explain your reasons. You should supply a title for your article.Reading a Novel or Watching a Movie（叙事+对比）Reading novels used to be a major entertainment for people in the 19th century and before. But since the invention of films at the end of the 19th century, people have gradually abandoned the novels for movies to enjoy new stories. Nowadays novel readers are on the decline （越来越少）. However, if I were to make a choice between reading a novel and watching a movie for a story I have never heard of, I would still prefer the former.The first reason to account for my preference of the novel is that I can get the real story. As we know, a movie usually lasts for about two hours, and in order to finish the story in such a time limit, the director has to adapt it, telling only the important part and leaving out much that he thinks as trivial. So what you watch in a movie is in fact a partial story. But if you read a novel, you can get every word, and this can promise a more complete understanding of the story. Besides, a movie is the director’s version of the story, because the director will color the story with his own understanding, and sometimes, there may be even adaptation or distortion. In my English literature class, we used to compare the movie of A Passage to India with the novel, and found as many as twenty-six changes; some of them are clear distortions by the director.（point by point）The second reason is that I can get more enjoyment from reading a novel. When watching a movie, the story comes in the form of real pictures and sounds. Although it is concrete, it is fixed and allows no more interpretation. But when reading a novel, what I get is language, which I can easily turn into varied mental images, and thus appreciate it to a higher degree. For example, when the story describes a beautiful scene, I can draw it in my mind by many different ways, and each mental picture can give me a different enjoyment. But in movies, there is only one version, so the pleasure is definitely decreased.(one side at one time)Another equally essential reason is that reading novels can help me more with my language study. Although（用一个句子完成一个对比）watching movies can improve my listening ability, reading novels can provide me with more comprehensive language training. For example, I can learn more new words, and new sentence patterns. I can learn new ways to try in my writing. Besides, reading novels takes much more time than watching a movie, and eve if the information input is the same, a longer process can definitely help me more.To summarize, I prefer reading a novel to watching a movie because I can get a more real story, more enjoyment, and more language practice. These benefits can be very important for us English majors. I suggest teachers making a better booklist for students in the future, to cultivate in them good reading habits so that they can get more from their four-year stay on campus. (501 words) (三个tps + my suggestion)7When taking this TEM-8, you are already in the last year on campus. For most senior students there are mainly two alternatives: one is to find a job, the other is to pursue postgraduate study. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to say which is better. But for differentsenior students there should be a choice that is more suitable than the other. Can you write a composition of about 400 words to explain which is more suitable for you? You should supply a title for your composition.Finding a Job or Going on StudyingDo you plan to take part in the entrance examination for postgraduate study, or find a job? This is a question that almost all university graduates have to answer nowadays. Some find it easy, but most of us find it difficult. After careful reflection, I decide that pursuing postgraduate study is more suitable for me.First and foremost, pursuing postgraduate study can allow me time to learn more knowledge. I belong to the bookworm type, always fascinated by things that I do not know, and always dream to be a learned person. If I stay at university for three more years, I certainly can know more than English, especial about American literature. What’s more, postgraduate study will not only expand my knowledge scope, but also enhance the knowledge quality. Undergraduate students spend most time learning facts, but postgraduate students will learn about understanding, evaluating, and criticizing. Therefore, after postgraduate study, I will be better at research, at judging opinion. This is of a higher level than the knowledge of undergraduate students.The second reason, which is of a more practical nature, is that pursuing postgraduate study can secure a better job. Since China adopted the policy of admitting more students to university (= enlargement of enrollment of higher education 高校扩招), the competition in the job market is becoming more and more heated. Every year, universities turn out hundreds of thousands of graduates, but there are simply not enough jobs for them. In such a situation, it is virtually impossible for an undergraduate to find a really good job. A recent research shows that now over 85% of well-paid jobs go to postgraduates or higher. If I finish my postgraduate study, I will be able to compete with better qualifications, and certainly I stand more chance to get a better job.The third reason, which I would hesitate to admit, is that I do not think I am ready for the society. I have always stayed in schools. Although I am already an adult, my four years of adult life is spent entirely on campus, where little is similar to the real society. I am afraid that if I started working now, I would not be able to deal with the interpersonal relation well. I suppose that if I can go on studying, then I can make use of the next three years to understand the society, to experiment with the society. I hope by the end of the three years. I will have already got used to the society, and will be able to cope with it well.In summary, to acquire more knowledge, to get a better job, and to prepare better for the society, are the three major reasons why I choose to go on studying. I know postgraduate study may be hard, but I hope that when I finish it, I will achieve these three targets, and feel happy that I have found the correct answer for myself. (483 words)（虽然是二选一，但也是从正面阐述自己的观点，正面阐述最简单）8Which Is More Important for a College Student, His studies or Social Practice?Nowadays, college students have more opportunities to join in various social activities than before. Sometimes, for the purpose of having more social experience, some of them even skip classes to participate in a certain event. I do not approve of their choice. Although social practice can do college students a lot of good, I hold we should put our studies first when the two cannot coexist.Firstly, during the college days, it is more important for students to accumulate knowledge than to do social practice. Our major purpose of coming to university is to master systematic knowledge of a particular field and essential learning methods. On campus, we are provided with rich study materials and good learning facilities; we can exchange ideas with quick-minded peers; above all, we get valuable guidance from eminent professors. College education offers us a precious chance to obtain knowledge and lays a solid foundation for our future work. We would never get it back if we squandered this opportunity away. Therefore, though it is all right to spare leisure time to do some social practice, we should never allow it to take priority over schoolwork.Secondly, our studies at college involve considerable practice as well as textbook learning. Many university students claim that they spend a lot of time on social activities to gain practical skills and thus feel justified in cutting class. However, they neglect to take advantage of classes and assignments to develop basic skills. For instance, the English majors sharpen their listening and speaking skills through various skills and class activities; the physics or chemistry students conduct many experiments under their instructors’direction; those studying sociology cultivate their research skills by doing a lot of fieldwork; those studying under their professors’ supervision. Learning at college means much more than reading theories; instead, many classes are skill-oriented and closely related to our future work and life.Thirdly, students who achieve in their studies have the edge on future competition. If you plan to go on to postgraduate studies, whether at home or abroad, an excellent transcript paves the way; if you choose to work, whether in a company or at a government office, a good school report promises you a better chance to win through. It is true that scores cannot prove all a person’s abilities, but in reality, college graduates are still largely measured by their exam results. It also makes sense to assume that those who excel at their studies should be able to do well in their research or work.As the old saying goes, knowledge is power. College students should first study well and then theycan develop a solid base on which to build their future career. Through joining in social practice is beneficial, we should bear in mind that a student’s top priority in his studies.9Which Is More Important fro a College Student, His studies or Social Practice?Nowadays, college life is no longer confined to classroom and library; more and more students tend to spend considerable time on various social activities. Some parents and teachers do not welcome the new tendency, saying that student should concentrate on their studies. However, as college days are a transitional stage between students and workers, it may be argued that social practice is more important than his studies for an undergraduate.Firstly, social practice offers students a chance to apply and better understand what they have learned at college. To quote the British historian Thomas Fuller: “knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.”Though there is always some gap between what we know from textbooks and what we can do in the real world, social practice helps us build the bridge over it. If you are an English major, being a part-time interpreter will sharpen your language skills and enhance your comprehension of the job; if you are an education students, working as a volunteer teacher will enable you to test out the theories acquired in classroom and guide you to make your own discoveries. However, neither would be likely to happen if you shut yourself in the ivory tower.Secondly, through social practice college students can improve their practical abilities. They learn how to bargain, negotiate, and compromise in finding and doing a part-time job; they learn how to lead, motivate, and compliment their followers when organizing a campus event; they learn how to beat pressure, compose themselves and give the best performance in the face of a demanding speech contest. By joining in social activities, college students develop their communication skills and problem-solving abilities.Thirdly, social practice can bring students valuable work experience which brightens up their job resumes. From the newspaper, television or other kinds of media, we know that the competition in the job market is getting so fierce that a desirable position often attracts dozens ofapplicants. The candidates that employers favor tend to be those who have relevant work experience, as they may acclimatize themselves sooner to their work environment, rather than those who only possess a college certificate. Admittedly, a graduate who fails in his studies will not stand a chance, either, but applicants who manage to balance between schoolwork and social practice do enjoy considerable advantage in the competition.Though both his studies and social practice are important for a college students and it is not advisable to skip class to find time for the latter, social practice, in a sense, plays a more important role in this stage of his growth, for it enhances his studies, sharpens his practical skills, enriches his experience and accordingly prepares him for his future work. Luckily, the two choices do not conflict with each other in most cases, and college students can also coordinate them by improving time management.10说明文：段落写作技巧：from general to specificTill now you must have read many books. Some of them may be weill written, but some may be the opposite. Write a composition of about 400 words about a book that is very well written or poorly written, and give reasons why it is good or not. You should supply a title for your composition.Why A Dream of the Red Mansions is ImmortalIt is well known that there are four great classic works in the history of Chinese literature. Among the four, A Dream in Red Mansions tops the list榜首. Ever since its publication, the book has fascinated millions of readers. What makes the novel immortal? I think the immortality lies in mainly three features.Firstly, the novel presents a lot of memorable characters值得人记住的角色. As we know, the book mainly deals with the tragic love between Bao Yu and Dai Y u. Bao Yu believes that women should be respected and valued., but this goes against the dominant values of the feudal society. He tries to rebel in order to marry Dai Yu, but fails because the feudal society is too powerful. Dai Yu, the beautiful, frail and sentimental heroine, wins our sympathy. She sets out to seek true love yet falls into the victim of the feudal morality. Wang Xifeng, a sharp tongued astute woman, caters to the upper class and shows no mercy to her subjects. We can say that although the novel talks about countless people, each is different.Besides the vivid characters, the novel also unfolds a unique panoramic picture全景图. On one。
