Dear Ms. Wang,
I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course net year.
I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them.
So net academic year, Term 1 will be lie always sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will wor toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 wees of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.
As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus net wee so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually i ntroduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.
I am sure you don't understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason why, I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself. I now that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaing and reading Latin, they are going to be amaed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of to noc on.
Well, that’s it for now. I’ll se e you soon.
Yours,
Edward Johnson

My daughter elly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs lou dly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort one is not around her, she is shy and nervous.
This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I thin has ever been use d to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that-has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bie without training wheels. And this year she completed her first ids’ triathlon (三项全能).
On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coining soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dar of the morning for elly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bie to run with her. we got all the equipment she'd need, and we ept taling about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older ids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to eep it together.
And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated(主宰) that swim, crushed that bie ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything lie that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered (克服) that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.
All day I would find myself just looing over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt lie I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.
Shine on, sweet baby.

The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some eamples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in ero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the loo of a funny balled (芭蕾) dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mie Hopins says, who returned from a si-month tour on the International Space Station. “I lie to be wrapped up.”
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The eercise bie for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioide you ehale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的) cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioide headache.
Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat, “Your inner ear thins your’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying—that’s why some people feel sic.” Within a couple days—truly terrible days for some —astronauts, brains learn to ignore the panicy signals from the inner ear, and space sicness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why eercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the worday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about eeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would tae to mae a round-trip to Mars.
32. What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?
A. Deciding on a proper sleep position
B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag
C. Seeing a way to fall asleep quicly
D. Finding a right time to go to sleep.
33. The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioide headache when .
A. the y circle around on their bies
B. they use microcomputers without a stop
C. they eercise in one place for a long time
D. they watch a movie while pedaling
34. Some astronauts feel sic on the station during the first few days because .
A. their senses stop woring
B. they have to stand up straight
C. they float out of their seats unepectedly
D. whether they are able to go bac to the station
35. One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is .
A. how much eercise they do on the station
B. how they can remain healthy for long in space
C. Whether they can recover after returning home
D. whether they are able to go bac to the station

When you tae a wal in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people waling dogs.
61 is still true that a dog is 62 (use) and faithful animal in the world. 63 the reasons why people eep a dog 64 (change). In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against animal attacs. And later they came 65 (realie) that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For eample, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat 66 they caught without 67 (permit). But now people in the city need not protect 68 (they) against attacs of animals.
Why do they eep dogs, then? Some people eep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For 69 child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young couple, a dog is their child when they have 70 children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason

书面表达参考范文
Dear Mr. Headmaster,
I am Li Hua, a student from inhua high school, Senior II. I am writing to draw your attention to some improper behavior among us students littering and scribbling, which maes our school dirty and unpleasant. And it does harm to the image of our school. I always feel ashamed whenever I see this.
It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behavior. At the same time,
students should be encouraged to develop good habits and behave themselves better. I believe that, with the joint efforts of both teachers and students, our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future.
I would appreciate it if you could tae my suggestions into consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua。
