练习一

With the sharp rise of the cost of college education, students have a few ways to pay for their college tuition and fees. Many students just let their parents pay the tuition. Some students may apply for a bank loan and others will try to find part time jobs both on the campus and out of campus. Apart from this, many good students will win a scholarship. In this way they can pay at least part of their tuition.

As to me, I will let my parents pay half of my tuition because they are not rich enough. Besides my studies, I will take up a part time job as a tutor teaching some high school students maths, physics and English, as I'm very good at the subjects. Of course I will work very hard at my lessons so that I can win a scholarship. I think that’s enough to pay for my college education.练习二

Just Try to Relax During Exams

As you know, most of us middle school students feel somehow nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. There is no doubt that exams are important to us students, but it’s more important to have a right attitude towards them. As a matter of fact, exams are no more than a means of checking. Therefore there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make good preparations. Only in this way can we avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.

We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises during an exam. Besides, enough sleep can make us full of energy and make it possible for us to perform well in the exam. A warm bath or a cup of milk before going to bed might help us to have a sound sleep. So, my suggestion is: Don’t worry about it, and just try to relax whatever happens．

练习三

Dear editor,

I’m a high school student and my name is Li Hua. During the winter vacation, I went to stay with my grandma in the countryside. One day, I was amazed to see thousands of egrets flying to the mountains around the village. The villagers said it was because the environment was getting better that these egrets chose to stay here.

But two weeks later, I was shocked to find lots of the egret eggs, stolen; many nests destroyed and even scores of egrets killed without mercy. It was not until the government officials and the policemen came that such wrong doings were stopped.

To prevent such things from happening again, I think we should make the public know the importance of protecting rare animals and take active and effective measures to protect them.

Yours,

Li Hua
