Passage 1
Reference:
Step 3:
During the first week at college I remember I felt a bit shy and nervous. Well, we all know what it was like, don't we ? But I suspect that not many would admit they were nervous,but, you know what ? We were all behaving as though we owned a chain of five-star hotels !
Confident, just a bit too proud, perhaps, because we had passed the entrance exams and arrived here. Thinking back.though, none of us wanted to admit that we really didn't know much, we were just novices who hardly knew what we didn't know. I remember one English class in the first week when I got the picture of what we still need to learn -I hardly understood a word and couldn't open my mouth …in English anyway. Now it's a bit better. as I hope you can agree!
So have we changed? Well, speaking for myself, yes.I think that touch of pride was knocked out of me. I still feel confident, but it's a different kind of confidence - instead of feeling like a hotel owner,I feel confident about my hard work and effort. What I mean is,I have a better idea of where I am going in my studies and I know that with hard work I can get there. That's not the pride of the hotel owner.it's the small confidence of the new desk clerk, a hard-working person who wants to learn enough and make the effort to become a manager ⋯ one day!

Passage 1
Reference:
When I was nearly nine years old, my parents put me onto a train, letting me travel alone from my hometown to Beijing.where my grandparents and uncles were living. They told the train attendant that one of my uncles would come to meet me on the platform when I arrived at Beijing Railway Station.
I had a good time on the train. Other passengers were very nice to me.I played cards with them and they gave me lots of their food and soft drinks.
When the train arrived in Beijing,I got off and waited on the platform for my uncle.
I waited and waited, but my uncle did not turn up. The station was so big and all the other passengers had left. I became very scared. I thought,"What can I do if my uncle does not turn up to meet me?" I started to cry because I felt really scared and did not know what to do.
At that moment,I saw a man running towards me. When he got closer. I recognized that it was my uncle. He said sorry many times. His car was delayed in a traffic jam, so he got to the station late. He said that he should have anticipated the traffic problems and have left home earlier, and assured me that this wouldn't happen again. He also told me that if ever I found myself in a similar situation.
I could ask one of the train attendants to stay with me or ask the railway police for help.
I learned from this incident that it is no use crying in a situation like this, but you have to think calmly and find out the best way to protect yourself.

Passage 1
Reference:
·I would agree with the first one. Great sportsmen and sportswomen should be paid as much as film stars, because they work as hard as film stars or even harder, and they also offer us entertainment as film stars do.
·I'm not so sure.I suppose many more people watch films than sports, and I think it should depend on the size of the audience. If a sport has a mass audience, though, then, yes,the top sportspeople should be very highly paid.
·I agree with the second one, because amateurs enjoy doing sports, and they can train and make themselves fit. The main purpose of sports is to make people healthier, not to make money.
·Sorry!I'd just like to say I disagree with the second opinion.Because to do well in a sport, say at national or international level, you have to do it full-time, so it's like a job and you should be paid. Of course, that doesn't mean that amateurs can't enjoy it-it's the same in music and the arts, isn't it?There are both professionals and amateurs, so why not in sports ?

Step 3:
Hello, everyone. My name's XXX.I'm from the local police station and I've been invited here by the college to talk about some of the most common crimes against students. After ten years in a station near a college and having heard a lot of
sad stories from students over the years,I certainly know quite a lot about the topic and have a number of tips for you all.
First of all,I'd like to talk about the theft of personal possessions. There are pickpockets and street thieves around all the time. Don't make life easy for them. Always make sure your bags are closed. Keep your wallet in a safe place.not just sticking out of a back pocket. Never forget to keep your property in sight. When you're shopping. don't put down your mobile phone while looking at goods. Be careful in cafés. People often report their bag was stolen from under a table. They couldn't see it, so the thief had a chance to remove it. To sum up, never forget to be alert. Carelessness is soon punished.
A lot of you use bicycles. but bicycles are one of the most frequently stolen items. Hardly a day passes without a report of a stolen bike. There are people waiting for you to make a mistake. Yet people reporting bike theft often tell us they hadn't locked their bicycles. Use a strong lock and chain. If they can be broken, they will be. Always check you've fastened the bike as securely as possible to something which can't be moved.I would also advise you not to have too nice a bike. The better the bike, the more criminals are attracted to it.
Then we come to street crime and mugging. If a thief can see you wearing a gold chain or using an expensive mobile phone, he'll want it. Be very careful about displaying valuable items in public. It only takes a second for a thief to run up to you, bang into you, grab whatever he wants and run off. Mugging can happen anytime, but at the station we find the streets get more dangerous late at night. Beware of walking along dark roads on your own-especially in areas you know to be rough. Girls in particular must be careful.Ask someone to accompany you or take a taxi. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Crime is a part of city life, but you can do a lot to protect yourself by being sensible and careful. I hope what I've said is useful. And now if there are any questions,I'd be happy to try and help.

Dancing, the rhythmic movement of the body to music, is one of our oldest and most satisfying leisure activities. You can dance in so many different ways and at so many different levels.
You can dance in your own personal style just to express your feelings. Put on some music and dance away. use your energy, and just be glad to be alive, filled with the beat of the music.
You can dance for the sake of your health. Join an acrobics class and be shown how different dances can improve different muscles and strengthen your body.
You can join a folk dance group and learn the discipline of dancing in a group, moving as one. The dances express the feelings of the people, celebrate festivals and bring us closer to our history and culture.
Dance can also be high art. You can explore the world of ballet and classical dance. Even if you do not become a great dancer yourself, you will learn to appreciate the great beauty of the ballet dancer's movements.
Dance can also be deeply social. Learn to waltz, to tango. to rumba, to move in perfect step with your partner.
Whoever you are, and whatever your level is, you will enjoy dancing.

Reference:
Computers play a major role in the daily lives of people in Britain. They are important for the operation of the transport network, assist the police in their duties, and control many buildings. The young are very keen on computers, and particularly enjoy computer games, their number one leisure activity.
Soon computers may even run the homes of ordinary people.In smart homes,a central computer, which can be accessed through a mobile phone. will control the temperature.maintain security. and operate electrical appliances throughout the building. Blinds will be lowered when it gets dark or to reduce the amount of light, and it will be possible to have dinner prepared ready when one gets home after work.
This worries some people who think the British spend too much time on their electronic devices, but the young are happy with their computers, and indeed cannot go without them!

Passage 1
Reference:
Arguments in favour of the proposal:
People are becoming unsociable spending too much time sitting in front of computer screens.
Computers are environmentally polluting.
Identity theft, financial fraud and loss of privacy are all the result of computers. People's lives are becoming too rushed and work-based.
Arguments against the proposal:
Communication has become much easier and cheaper.
We need computers to run very complex systems.
Vast amounts of information can now be stored together and accessed easily. Internet business is booming.
Reference:
Example sentences from the debate
In favour of the proposal
We don't need computers. How true is that? As the first speaker for the motion I'm going to give you three very strong reasons why you should agree with us about this.
Our opponents will try to tell you how wonderful it is that we can work from home, send emails all round the world,and communicate more and more easily with anyone we like.Somehow they think this is an improvement on people actually meeting in their workplaces and getting to know one another and working together, and an improvement on going out and meeting our own real friends face to face.
So please give us your support, support for a better, more human world without computers!
Against the proposal
While it's true that computers have caused a lot of pollution.things are improving fast. More and more of the materials are safely recyclable. And although it's true that computers need electrical power, the case with which people can now work from home and communicate over great distances has resulted in the saving of a great deal of energy. Sending a file by a click is far more energy-efficient than posting it across the world.
Every step forward has been greeted by doomsayers who are frightened by any change. Quite simply, modern society couldn't function without computers. We need them to run power grids, railways.airports. banking-in fact, our basic infrastructure. The Earth's population is now too big to manage without information technology.
A vote against computers is a vote for some imaginary world of contented farmers and small towns.
In favour of the proposal
Li referred to all the economic benefits. There seems to be a contradiction between all this e-commerce and Internet shopping -which uses the post-and his claims that computers were saving us energy by using the mail less!Anyway. sales on the Web simply mean fewer sales from local shops. Yet another example of their idea that staying at home is better than actual human contact.I like walking around shops and meeting shop assistants.

Passage 1
Reference:
For the motion
Student A First, we need to define "war"and"peace". I will define"war"as a legal situation resulting from a declaration of war between states – the exception to this is civil war,which is between groups within a country."Peace"seems to me to be more than the absence of war, so I define it as a stable situation over a period of time when there is no war or violence and people agree that there is peace. In this definition "armed conflict" is not peace, but is something between war and peace.
When people talk about "good"wars in the past, they usually refer to the reasons for going to war, say, to defend the homeland from aggression, although many wars may have mixed reasons, including some bad ones. My main point is that, even in cases of wars for good reasons, the process and result of the war include bad things to an extent that the war cannot be reasonably described as good, even if it has good aspects. We must recognize that war brings the 3 Ds of Death, Damage and Destruction for many people. This is true both for winners and losers. Was there ever a war without the 3 Ds in the process and result for some or many people on both sides? Logically and historically the process and result of any war includes the 3 Ds. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen. you must support the motion:No war is purely good, all wars have the 3 Ds, and hence there was never a good war. My teammate, Student C will speak about a bad peace later.
Against the motion
Student D My teammate Student B has spoken eloquently about the nature of war and peace and about how we might think of a good war and a bad peace. To reject the motion, as we must, let us now turn to the word "never"."Never"means at no time in the past (or future), so to reject the motion we simply have to find an example - one will be enough - of a good war or a bad peace. Whatever the other speakers have said—and they made interesting points - for this debate and this motion, we reject it if we find a single example of a good war or a bad peace, and this must be logically true whatever our general feelings and beliefs about war or peace are.
"Never"means at no time …so we must consider the time.situation and circumstances of a war. We have to consider the views of the people at that time. Think of the example of the Japanese invasion and occupation of Beijing, Shanghai.Nanjing and elsewhere in China in 1937. At that time, given the Japanese atrocities against Chinese women and children.from the Chinese point of view,a war against Japan was a good thing, to resist aggression, defend our people, and free our country. This justifiable defensive war outweighs the 3Ds mentioned by Student A. Even though the Chinese people knew there would be sacrifices, hardship and suffering, we also knew that not to resist through war would be much worse. So it was a good war. Now, an example of a bad peace. We do not have to look far.Just look at the Arab countries and Israel. There were wars in 1956, 1967 and 1973, and so-called peace in between and later, but as we know, this "peace" has included invasions.occupations, attacks with missiles, bombings, shootings, lots of fighting, lots of refugees, and so on. This is not war because as Student A said,。
