最新大学英语写作writing-1-(the-hazards-of-moviegoing)
Find out the point and support in the following paragraph and essay.The Hazards of Movie-goingAlthough I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. To get to the theater, I have to drive for at least thirty minutes or more if traffic is bad. It can take forever to find a parking spot, and then I have to walk across a huge parking lot to the theater. There I encounter long lines, sold-out shows, and ever-increasing prices. And I hate sitting with my feet sticking to the floor because of other people’s spilled snacks. Another problem is my lack of self-control at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks. My choices might include a bucket of popcorn, a box of Milk Duds, a giant soda, or all three. The worst problem is some of the other moviegoers. Kids run up and down the aisle. Teenagers laugh and shout at the screen. People of all ages drop soda cups and popcorn tubs, cough and burp (打嗝), and talk to one another. All in all, I would rather stay home and wait to see the latest movie hits on cable TV in the comfort of my own living room.The Hazards of Movie-goingI am a movie fanatic. My friends count on me to know movie trivia and to remember every big Oscar awarded since I was in grade school. My friends, though, have stopped asking me if I want to go out to the movies. While I love movies as much as ever, the inconvenience of going out, the temptations of the theater, and the behavior of some patrons are reasons for me to wait and rent the video.To begin with, I just don’t enjoy the general hassle (trouble) of the evening. Since small local movie theaters are a thing of the past, I have to drive for thirty minutes to get to the nearest multiplex. The parking lot is shared with several restaurants and a supermarket, so it’s always jammed. I have to drive around at a snail’s pace (像蜗牛般爬行) until I spot another driver backing out. Then it’s time to stand in an endless line, with the constant threat that tickets for the show I want will sell out. If we do get tickets, the theater will be so crowded that I won’t be able to sit with my friends, or we’ll have to sit in a front row gaping up at a giant screen. I have to shell out (pay) a ridiculous amount of money ―up to $8 ―for a ticket. That entitles me to sit while my shoes seal themselves to a sticky floor coated with spilled soda, bubble gum, and crushed Raisinets.Second, the theater offers tempting snacks that I really don’t need. Like most of us, I have to battle an expanding waistline. At home I do pretty well by simply not buying stuff that is bad for me. I can make do with (设法/勉强应付) snacks like celery (芹菜) and carrot sticks because there is no ice cream in the freezer. Going to the theater, however, is like spending my evening in a Seven-Eleven that’s been equipped with a movie screen and comfortable seats. As I try to persuade myself to just have a diet Coke, the smell of fresh popcorn dripping with butter soon overcomes me. Chocolate bars, the size of small automobiles, seem to jump into my hands. I risk pulling out my fillings (补牙用填料) as I chew enormous mouthfuls of Milk Duds. By the time I leave the theater, I feel disgusted with myself.Many of the other patrons are even more of a problem than the concession stand (影院里的贩卖处). Little kids race up and down the aisles, usually in giggling packs. Teenagers try to impress their friends by talking back to (反驳/回嘴) the screen, whistling, and making what they consider to be hilarious (欢闹的) noises. Adults act as if they were at home in their own living room. They comment loudly on the ages of the stars and reveal plot twists that are supposed to be a secret until the film’s end. And people of all ages create distractions. They crinkle (弄皱) candy wrappers, stick gum on their seats, and drop popcorn tubs or cups of crushed ice and soda on the floor. They also cough and burp, squirm (蠕动) endlessly in their seats, file out (鱼贯而出) for repeated trips to the rest rooms or concession stands, and elbow me out of the armrest on either side of my seat.After arriving home from the movies one night, I decided that I was not going to be a moviegoer anymore. I was tired of the problems involved in getting to the theater, resisting unhealthy snacks, and dealing with the patrons. The next day, I arranged to have premium (额外花费) movie channels installed as part of my cable TV service, and I also got a membership at my local video store. I may now see movies a bit later than other people, but I’ll be more relaxed watching box office hits in the comfort of my own living room.。

研究生实用英语写作1-Some basic matters in English writing
4. Typical usage of some punctuation marks (Pages428-432) Comma
1. A comma is used in a compound sentence before the conjunction or connective (but, and, or, for, so, nor, yet). e.g. Come early, or you’ll miss the show. It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet. He is an eccentric boy, yet you can’t help liking him. 2. A comma is used after an adverbial clause or phrase (including a prepositional phrase and a participial phrase) before the subject of the sentence or n the middle of the sentence. But it is often omitted when an adverbial element follows the main clause. e.g. When we read newspapers, our attention is often drawn by those terrible events that have happened on campus. I was trying to reach her by telephone when she walked into my office. 3. Nonrestrictive clauses and phrases are set off by commas. e.g. An old lady, nodding and smiling, invited us in. However, if punishment is used extensively, it will affect the children in a negative way for his whole lifetime, which is the least thing we would ever expect to see.

Revise the following paragraph to add variety to the lengths of the sentences.
The Winslow family visited Canada and Alaska last summer to look for some Native American art. In Anchorage stores they found some excellent examples of soapstone carvings. But they couldn’t find a dealer selling any of the woven wall hangings they wanted. They were very disappointed when they left Anchorage empty-handed.
Frantically he fitted the crank and twisted around and around, and his clenched hand on the crank splashed in the
slowly flowing water at each turn. At last his frenzy gave out .
Long sentences
Long sentences often convey a leisurely pace and establish a calm tone.
• Yet there is laughter in Achill. The young girls laugh as they drive the geese over the rocks; they laugh as they climb the low stone walls with their baskets; they laugh as they call off the wild dogs that threaten to devour the stranger; they laugh most of all, so I am told, on evenings at dance time when the men are home from overseas and the fiddles twitter over the hills of Achill like birds under an eave.

Lecture 3: Letter writing (I) (week No. 4-5)Topics to be covered in this unit:●Layout of English letters●Invitation letters●Envelop of English lettersappropriate use of language, good organization of content and appropriate style and tone.II. Layout of English lettersA formal English letter is generally composed of six parts:信头 ( Letterhead) 收信人姓名地址 (Inside address) 称呼 (Salutation)正文(Body) 结束敬语(Complimentary close) 署名 (Signature)Task: Below is a formal invitation letter in full-blocked format. Ask the students to study it carefully, identify each part and talk about the differences between Chinese letters and English letters. Sample 1: 邀请某位教授参加计算机年会的信函1．Dept. of Computer ScienceFudan UniversityShanghai 200433PR ChinaMarch 15th, 20012．Prof. Woodrow BushyDept. of ComputerNew York UniversityNew YorkUSA3．Dear Prof. Bushy:4．Re: Invitation to Annual Computer Society Conference in September 2001 5．It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the 11th Annual Computer SocietyConference. This year's conferencewill be held in Beijing from September23 through September 27.We are offering a valuable program with industry-wide applications by speakers who are recognized experts in their fields on topics with many implications for the future. Ample time is scheduled for discussion periods. In addition, tours to two large computer companies will be arranged.Enclosed please find information on accommodations, transportation and registration.If you have any questions, please call the session coordinator, Julie Han at 86-21-82316661.6．Yours sincerely,7．(signature)Wang QiangChairmanDept. of Computer Science8．WN/kpl9．Encl.：Information on accommodations, transportation and registration.Introduce the important features and conventions of each part and ask the students to read through the handout after class. We may ask the students to practice writing at the same time. Forexample, ask them to write a letterhead after we talk about it.1．Letterhead(信头）This part includes the address of the writer and the date of writing. It helps the recipient identify where the letter was from and when written so as to answer with convenience. Call students’ attention to the different address and date writing between English and Chinese:The address is arranged in English in the order of the house number and name of the street(road or avenue); the name of the city (town); and the name of the state(province or county) and may also include the post code,; and then the name of the country. (The name of the country in the address is usually omitted if the writer and the reviver of the letter are in the same country.)e.g.100083中国北京市海淀区学院路37号37 Xueyuan Road,Haidian District,Beijing 100083,PR China.地址缩写词：A VE = Avenue E = East W = West RD = RoadBLDG = Building EXPY = Expressway DST = District FLT =FlatHWY = Highway SQ = Square INST = InstituteIn English the date is written in this way:April 30, 2001,（AE）or 30 April, 2001（BE）Year: be given in full in full form.Month: be written in complete form or acceptably abbreviated forms, to avoid misunderstanding (e.g.5/12/ 2003)January (Jan.), February (Feb.), March(Mar.), April (Apr.), May, June, July,August (Aug.), September (Sept.),October (Oct.), November (Nov.),December (Dec.)Day: both cardinal and ordinal numbers are okComma may or may not be used.Call the students’ attention to the differences in American English and British English letterhead writing: The Americans prefer the order of month, day and year; while the British prefer the order of day, month and year.The Americans prefer no punctuation at the end of each line; while the British prefer a comma after each line and a period after the last line.In AE. 122 Third AVE.New York, N.Y. 10017U.S.A.Jan.18,1999In BE. 122 Third AVE.,New York, N.Y. 10017,U.S.A..18 Jan.,19992．Inside Address (收信人姓名地址) This part refers to the address of the recipient, which includes the recipient’s name, title and address.The way to write the address should be exactly the same as that on the envelope. Guidelines:Know the name of the receiver: use full name and title.E.g. Mr., Mrs. , Miss, Ms. … ; or Dr.David SmithDavid Smith, Jr. (Sr. , or Ph.D.)Don't know who will read your letter , address your letter directly to the organization concerned.E.g. Harper and Grant Ltd.Write to a particular person in a company or organization, but don’t know his or her name.E.g. The Manager, The Director, The Chairman, The Sales Manager, The Secretary.If the name and title are long, indent the second line two spaces.E.g. Executive Secretary toThe Chairman3．Salutation (称呼): a greeting to the addresseeUsually two spaces below the inside address against the left margin.The British tend to use a comma after the salutation and the Americans a colon (esp. In business letter).Each word in the salutation must start with a capital letter.How to salute depends on how you are related to the addressee.在正式英语信件中，则要根据收信人是谁而进行相应的变动。

英语一作文书写Certainly, I understand you need to write an English essay without revealing your prompt. Below is a sampleessay that meets your requirements:Title: The Impact of Technology on Modern Society。
In today's fast-paced world, technology plays an increasingly integral role in shaping our society. From communication to education, transportation to entertainment, technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives. In this essay, I will explore the multifaceted impact of technology on modern society.First and foremost, technology has transformed the way we communicate. The advent of smartphones and social media platforms has made it easier than ever to connect with people across the globe instantly. Whether through text messages, emails, or video calls, individuals can now communicate in real-time, transcending geographicalbarriers. This interconnectedness has facilitated the exchange of ideas, cultures, and information on an unprecedented scale, fostering greater understanding and collaboration among people worldwide.Furthermore, technology has revolutionized the field of education. The internet has become a vast repository of knowledge, offering endless opportunities for learning and skill development. Online courses, tutorials, and educational websites have democratized access to education, allowing individuals to pursue their academic interests regardless of their geographical location or socioeconomic background. Additionally, digital tools such as interactive whiteboards and educational apps have enhanced the learning experience, making it more engaging and immersive for students of all ages.In addition to communication and education, technology has also had a profound impact on transportation. The invention of automobiles, airplanes, and high-speed trains has transformed the way we travel, making it faster, safer, and more convenient than ever before. Moreover, theemergence of ride-sharing services and autonomous vehicles promises to revolutionize urban mobility, reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions in the process. As technology continues to advance, the transportation landscape will likely undergo further transformation, ushering in a new era of sustainable and efficient mobility.Furthermore, technology has revolutionized the entertainment industry, offering a plethora of digital content ranging from streaming services to virtual reality experiences. Platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube have democratized access to entertainment, allowing consumers to enjoy their favorite movies, music, and shows anytime, anywhere. Additionally, advancements in CGI and special effects have raised the bar for visual storytelling, immersing audiences in rich and immersive worlds like never before. As technology continues to evolve, the boundaries between reality and fiction will continue to blur, opening up new possibilities for creative expression and entertainment.In conclusion, technology has fundamentally transformedmodern society in profound and far-reaching ways. From communication to education, transportation to entertainment, technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives, reshaping the way we work, live, and interact with one another. While the impact of technology is undeniably positive in many respects, it also presents challenges and complexities that must be addressed. As we navigate theever-changing landscape of technology, it is essential to harness its potential for the greater good while mitigating its negative consequences. Only by doing so can we ensure a future where technology serves as a force for progress and prosperity for all.。

Different people usually have different ways to stay healthy. In my opinion, the most important thing is to keep a healthy attitude toward life.It is true that physical factors affect on e’s health conditions a great deal, but at the same time, we should not neglect the mental factors. Many scientific researches have shown that anger, suspicion and envy do great harm to human bodies while being optimistic can cure some small diseases. We have also heard of many people who live much longer than doctors’ prediction after they have been diagnosed incurable diseases. That is, because they keep a good mood and struggle with the difficulties in life. Compared with those people who suffer serious physical pain, we healthy people are much more lucky and therefore have more reasons to maintain a healthy attitude to life no matter what kind of hardship life may give us.People use all kinds of methods to keep healthy because they want to live happily. Then in my point of view, there is no other way than keeping a healthy attitude toward life can make people happier or more healthy, both physically and mentally..Should Raising Pets be Banned?With the steady growth in the coun try’s economy as well as the people’s living standard, a great many city dwellers take up the hobby of keeping pets. To their mind, pets bring great happiness and fun to their life. In reality, pets have become a member of the pet owner’s family. However, recently this phenomenon has triggered a heated discussion as to whether city people should be allowed to raise pets. There are people on both sides of the argument who have very strong feelings.The pet lovers claim that raising a pet benefits us a lot. First of all, a pet is a faithful and obedient companion to its owner. Pets are affectionate and cute. Secondly, they possess the inborn ability to entertain people, providing a rich source of pleasure and fun. They help people rid their loneliness and ease the tense life pressure. Moreover, keeping a pet does good to childr5en’s psychological development,because it teaches children how to care for others and how to appreciate life while helping them to cultivate a strong sense of responsibility. Pets also have some practical uses. They can be a loyal companion, a doorkeeper or a guide dog. In some special cases, pets even act as the protector and savior of the owner. In a word, there are many advantages to keeping a pet at home.On the other hand, there are also many opponents who strongly condemn this hobby. From their point of view, pets bring far more harm than good to us city dwellers. To begin with it is a costly and time-consuming hobby. You have to accommodate them, care for them and spend time with them. How can a bustling city person afford that? Moreover, it is very dirty. They litter everywhere and may carry some fatal viruses, which are great threats to human health. They even spread some infectious diseases to their owners and sometimes even those people around the. Last of all, they are troublemakers to the neighborhood. Some pet dogs or cats enjoy barking or miaowing at midnight, which is an irritating disturbance to the neighbors. Pets may sometimes attack neighbors and passers-by. On some occasions, they cause some damage to other’s property. On any accounts, they are unwelcome and troublesome.J ust as the saying goes, “so many people, so many minds”, it is quite understandable that views on this issue vary from person to person. As far as I am concerned, it is advisable not to keep a pet in a city, because this hobby brings us more drawbacks than merits. If there were too many pets running on the streets, baking at night, lettering everywhere better give up this hobby for the common good.Unit 3: 说明文和描写文（Exposition and description）1. What is an exposition?Exposition means explaining or expounding something, the purpose of which is to inform or instruct, to make the reader understand what he reads. It is a kind of writing that is used often by a scientist, a specialist, a professional or a college student. In expository writing, the writer may present a concept, a process or a fact, and explain it by using the ways of listing the elements or steps, which make up the concept, the process or the fact. It deals with processes and relationships mainly.2. What are the common methods of writing an exposition?Illustration by example●Division and classification: The purpose of division is to divide a thing into parts and it is used to dealwith one thing.●Classification is used to organize things sharing certain qualities and the purpose of which is to groupthese things systematically.●Comparison and contrast: a comparison means the way to explain how things are similar; butcontrast explains how tings are different.●Cause and effect: it means a piece of expository writing which shows or explains the cause and effectof something.Definition: it means the way that a writer uses when he wants to introduce to the reader a new and unfamiliar term or concept.3. What is a Description?Description is painting a picture in words of a person, place, object, or scene.My favorite ColorWhen referring to colors, we have certain aspects of them. For instance, red may stand for passion, white for peace and purity, black for mystery, and so on. As far as I am concerned, blue is my favorite color, and there are a brief story and reasons behind it.The story could be traced back to my childhood. At the age of 8, I received a gift from my dear grandparents who paid their first overseas visit to Japan. It was a blue Mickey Mouse watch. The watchband was made of leather dyed in navy blue, and the watchcase was also of navy stainless with inside a cutenavy-uniformed Mickey Mouse whose hands pointed at the hours and minutes. At that time, about 22 years ago, this kind of watch was rare and Mickey Mouse seemed to me a fairytale which I could only imagine instead of possessing the real object; therefore, every time I put the watch on, I gained jealousy from my peer and classmate s. In other words, this behavior satisfied my childish vanity then. However, since it was a delicate and beautiful watch, I seldom put it on. On one rainy evening, my younger sister, Wen-fang, had a serious fever. Having decided to take her to see a do ctor, my mother had my brother on her back, held my other 2 sisters’ hands and asked me to embrace my sick young sister, and we walked half an hour to the clinic. After coming home, I found my Mickey Mouse watch disappeared. I hurried to seek for my lost watch in the exact path that we walked through, but couldn’t find it. I was quite sad about it, but fortunately, my sister soon recovered under the doctor’s treatment. Till now, I still remember that lost blue watch vividly and from then on, I made a specia l and favorable impression on blue.Moreover, it is magical that blue sky and blue sea have enchanting and amazing power over me. Whenever I am depressed, I especially enjoy looking up the blue sky and if it is allowed, I like going to see the deep blue oc eans as well. It’s a great relief to see the blue color, and it really soothes my nerves. Under this enormous blue vault, I, myself, and my depression are too tiny to be compared to it; the peaceful deep blue seas with the touchable melody of which the waves compose is the best cure for my unhappiness or sadness.To sum up, my definition of blue stands for relief and freedom of soul. Though some may consider blue is a sign of gloom, since I am an optimistic and independent person, when I am blue, I will tell myself to look on the bright side instead of including myself into being over sorrowful. I favor blue for its fine distinction and definition as mentioned above. Hence, I consider that no other colors are more suitable to me than blue.The Pet I KeptMany people have an experience of raising a pet. They may have different feeling and sensations towards their pets. No matter how they feel, the same feeling of having a pet is love. People treat their pets with love and the pets also spend their whole lives companying with their masters. When we have pets, we have to take care and love them. Therefore, keeping a pet is not a tough work but as a good learning experience to learn how to be responsible and patient.I kept a dog as a pet when I was in elementary school. Its name was “little white” because it was white in color. I got the puppy from my classmate because there were too many dogs after his mother-dog reproduced. He wanted me to pick up one from 7 puppies. I choose “little white” because it has a pair of beautiful and bright eyes and a very cute face. I happily brought it home and cleaned it and fed with milk. From that moment, the puppy became one of my family members.Few months later, when it grew up, it became a big dog with a short month, sharp teeth, bright eyes, a small black nose, fox-like ears and a feather duster-like tail. It had bad temper and was interested in bitinganything, especially people. I was been one of the victims. Although it got a terrible temper, it gave me the unforgettable and happy moments during my childhood.After possessing “little white”, I could have a little realization about how difficult of being parents. The puppy could have faces anywhere in the house and I got to clear them up. The defecation smelt bad and made me feel vomitive. Every time after I cleaned the feces, I shout to the puppy to release my bad emotion of cleaning the stink shit. Besides, I had to catch the fleas, which are too small to be caught on the puppy. Moreover, I had to clean the puppy regularly. The puppy was so hated to be scrub that it ran away when it heard “taking washing”. Therefore, every time I had to chase the dog on the street and catch it back and then tie it up and give a rinse. Thus, cleaning dog is not only a hard work but also an exhausted exercise.However, having a pet did not mean having a trouble. Sometimes, a pet can play an important role in our mental health. For example, when I was in bad mood, the puppy became my royal listener and stayed with me and never could not “complain” because it could not speak “human language” to grumble at me. When I was in good mood, I played with the dog and shared my happiness through having good time on the playground or giving some special abundant meals. On the contrary, the dog also had its own emotions and would have many special method of expressing its feeling. For instance, when “little white” was in good mood, it would ask me to play with it by “throwing” its “toys”, such as the fake bones or some clothes it liked to sleep with. Also, the “little white” had emotional reactions and would show its feeling on face. When the dog was happy, it would not only shake its tail but also “smile”. When the dog felt bored, it would ask me to play with it by biting my pants. When the puppy wanted to go out for fun, it would scratch the door and bark. When the dog was hungry, it would bark like “begging”. Although the puppy could not talk, it also could express its feeling through many ways In addition, the “little white” was also the security guide of family because of its “sharp nose, ears, and bad temper”. The dog almost barked at and bit anyone who tried to get into my house, including our friends, classmates, neighbors, visitors, and even the passerby except my family. Therefore, when the visitors came, we had to catch the “little white” and locked it into the “toilet” until the visitor left. After a long time, all my friends knew that I had a very bad temper dog.. As a result, keeping a pet is not a tough work but a good learning experience to learn how to be responsible and patient. After raising a dog, I not only learn how to take care of a dog but also realize that “little white” as a pet is a life, which has feelings and thought as human did and spends all its life with me, and depends on me, and trusts me. Therefore, I shall cherish the relation between us.Unit 4: 实用文（Practical writings）1. What aspects should you pay attention to when you design a cover letter?Whether mailing or hand-delivering a resume, always include a short covering letter. The following aspects you should especially pay attention to:●Address your letter to an individual, not to a title alone. Although you may address your resume to Mr.Patrick Burns, Marketing Manager, don't address your letter (or envelope) to Marketing Manager. The employer may conclude that, because you were unable or unwilling to search out his actual name,you will demonstrate an equal lack of initiative on the job. He may be instinctively more sympatheticto the applicant who uses his correct name.●Stipulate the type of job you are applying for. If you don't mention the specific job or type of work, itimplies that you are simply looking for "work." If so, you may not be the interested, motivated, anddedicated individual that the employer is looking for. Tell also what caused you to apply, whether anadvertisement, the recommendation of a friend who works there, etc, or your own research, etc. Bedirect and to the point. Don't waste the employer's time.●Be specific and factual. Mention any personal characteristics that may be relevant to the opening. Bespecific and factual. Avoid generalities and exaggeration. Back up any claim modestly and succinctly.●Be direct and natural. Write as if you were speaking face to face to the employer. Avoid ostentation.Stay clear of complicated grammar.●Be brief. Keep the letter to one page. Write as if you were speaking face to face to the employer.Avoid ostentation. Stay clear of complicated grammar.●Be brief. Keep the letter to one page.●Propose a next step (e.g., a meeting).●Tailor your letter to different readers. Although you may want to send the same resume to allemployers, you probably should vary the covering letter somewhat in order to emphasize differentinterests or strengths. Certain of your qualifications may be of more importance to one employer than to another.2. Write on Answer sheet one a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:You have heard that your friend, Jack, wishes to sell his walkman. Write him a note expressing your interest in it, asking him about its condition and offering a price for it.December 7, 2011 Dear Jack,I have heard that you want to sell your walkman.

Please give me some detailed information about it as soon as possible.Yours sincerelyHenryEnglish DepartmentZhejiang UniversityWenzhou,325608ChinaDec. 21, 20113. Write a business letter to your customer to talk about the price your company offers to buy his/hercomputers. You think that the price he/she offers is too high and you think that 5800 RMB for eachcomputer is better for both sides. Now write a business letter to express this intention. Pay attention to the form of a business letter.Wang YingzhiEnglish DepartmentZhejiang UniversityWenzhou, 325608ChinaOct.20, 2011Prof. Harvey MillerComputer International444 Madison AvenueNew York, NY 10022U.S.ADear Prof. Harvey:Last weekend ,I had read the price your company offers to buy your computers. I think that the price you offered is too high. I would be very grateful if you could sell 5800 RMB for each computer .We are all looking forward to your reply.Yours Sincerely,Wang Yingzhi 4. Suppose now you are a freshman (大一学生) in a college. You want to have a part-time job. Yet yourparents don’t agree with you and urge you to focus your time and energy on your study. Now write a letter no less than 150 words to tell them the importance and value of part-time job to a college student, ensure them that you can balance your study and the part-time job well, and therefore persuade them to agree with your choice at last.Pay attention to the form of a letter: the heading, the salutation, complementary ending , and makeyour letter as powerful as possible.October 20, 2011Dear,In our country there are more and more college students undertaking a part-time job or even more than one part-time job. It’s becoming quite common to see students busy running errands after lessons.Although it is a truth that for a college student, his most important goal must be to learn well and to get a high score in examinations, it surely does not need to be the only target. In fact, college life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a student’s life, part-time work can broaden his social experience. He will have the precious opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances. Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility and team-work spirit, both for his own work and for that of the team he works with.For all of these reasons above, I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are at college. Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility. To sum up, living a balanced life is the best way to be successful.Sincerely,Wang Yingzhi。

D. The Paragraph
1.Effective paragraphs.
(1)Unity:
Unity of a paragraph is concerned with its content.If all the sentences in the paragraph lead to one central theme,the paragraph is unified.The central theme is usually summarized in what is called the topic sentence.
2.Ways of developing paragraphs.
1>Development by time.
In telling a story or recounting an event, the easiest and clearest way is to
describe things in order of time. The
method is also called chronological
sequencing.
2>Development by process.
When you have to explain how something is
done, you usually follow a chronological
sequence and give a step-by-step description.
As the steps must occur one after another, the exact order in which they are carried out is
most important. In giving instructions,
imperative sentences and sentences with the
indefinite pronoun you as the subject are often used. The present tense should be used if the
instructions are still applicable.
3>Development by space.
Before we begin to describe a place,
whether it is a large country or a small
room, we have to decide on the order in
which to name the different parts or
details. For this we should find out the
space relationships between them and
arrange our description accordingly. It
would only confuse the reader to mention them in a haphazard way.
4>Development by example or generalization.
Supporting a topic sentence with examples or illustrations makes a general statement specific and easy to understand.An illustration is a case,a specimen,an instance.Vivid illustrations light up abstract ideas and make them clear, interesting,memorable,or convincing.。
