We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.·3You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.·Both share emotions.4Of course you may be able to see it on my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allow us to share in that emotion.

外研社英语写作大赛样题及范文

外研社英语写作大赛样题及范文样题:假如你是李华,你的笔友Tom说他打算参加一次国际志愿者活动。

请根据以下提纲,写一封信给Tom,询问他的意图并提出一些建议。

1. 询问Tom的意图,为什么他想参加国际志愿者活动;2. 表达对Tom参加国际志愿者活动的支持,并举例说明志愿者活动的好处;3. 提出建议,包括选择合适的志愿者项目、了解相关事宜和做好准备。

范文:Dear Tom,I hope this letter finds you well. I was thrilled to hear that you are planning to participate in an international volunteer program. I'm curious about your motivation and would love to know more about your intentions.Firstly, could you please share with me why you are interested in joining a volunteer program abroad? Is it because you want to make a difference in other people's lives, or do you simply want to explore a different culture? Understanding your reasons will help me provide better advice and support.I must say that I fully support your decision to become a volunteer. Being a volunteer can bring tremendous benefits to both the volunteers and the communities they serve. Not only can you contribute your skills and knowledge to those in need, but you will also gain valuable life experiences and broaden your horizons. For example, when I volunteered at a local orphanage last summer, I was able to see how my efforts made a positive impact on the children's lives. Additionally, I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for different perspectives and cultures, which has greatly enriched my own life.As for the practical aspects, I would suggest that you carefully choose a volunteer project that aligns with your interests and skills. You should consider what kind of work you would like to engage in and what impact you hope to make. Moreover, it would be wise to research the organization or program you are interested in to make sure they have a good reputation and a clear mission. Additionally, it is important to understand the local customs and regulations of the country you will be visiting. This will help you adapt quickly and make meaningful connections with the locals.Lastly, I encourage you to prepare yourself physically and mentally for the challenges ahead. Volunteering can sometimes be physically demanding and emotionally draining. Therefore, it's essential to be fit, maintain a positive mindset, and be open to new experiences. Remember, flexibility and a willingness to learn are key to success in any volunteer program.I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you. Please keep me updated on your progress and let me know if there's anything I can do to assist you.Best wishes and good luck on your upcoming volunteer journey! Sincerely,Li Hua。

20xx年“外研社杯”英语竞赛题详解

20xx年“外研社杯”英语竞赛题详解 20xx年“外研社杯”英语竞赛题详解“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛初赛Task 1 Argumentative WritingWrite an essay in response to the passage below. You should state clearly whether you agree or disagree with the passage and explain your reasons for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the author’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 500 words.If you still think of the Internet as a means of opening up a vast world of information to people, you may be completely wrong. Playing a positive role in its early days, the Internet is now enclosing people in a walled room.Have you noticed that when different people google the same thing, for example, “Chinese culture” or “America”, they get different search results? Websites selectively guess which information is appropriate to a user based on his/her location, past-click behavior and search history, and tailor information and recommendations accordingly. The more one uses the Internet,the more likely one is kept away from different opinions, and trapped in one’s own cultural ideological bubble. The situation worsens when Internet-boosted social networks creep into every corner of our lives. Although there seems to be a large amount of information updated almost every second, the information is only available from people’s friend-circles or the subscriptions (公众号) they choose. Beyond these circles and choices, people do not really have access to the unknown. They become imprisoned in a confined world.。

“外研社杯”全国英语写作大赛江西师范大学初赛评分标准及样题议论文:比赛内容:选手完成1篇议论文写作(字数为400-500)。

考查选手的判断分析、逻辑思辨、评价论述等能力,展示选手的知识广度、视野维度、思想深度等综合素质。

议论文1:Given the importance of human creativity, one would think it should have a high priority among our concerns. But if we look at the reality, we see a different picture. Basic scientific research is minimized in favor of immediate practical applications. The arts are increasingly seen as dispensable luxuries. Yet as competition heats up around the globe, exactly the opposite strategy is needed.Adapted from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and InventionAssignment:Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.范文In a world where economic prosperity and “getting ahead”in work and technology are highly valued, creativity and the arts are often shunted in favor of more “practical”pursuits. Students abandon dreams of acting or painting in order to major in medicine, computer technology, or engineering: highly profitable and scientific fields. Even with the advances in these fields, however, there is still a need for creativity in our world, because seeing things in a new way can make all the difference.Today, more and more public schools are forced to abandon their arts programs to make time for subjects like science and math: subjects in which all students must have a basic knowledge in order to succeed in higher education. However, by leaving these programs behind, children are deprived of the creative stimulation that the arts provide, and are taught to view the world in “black and white”terms: one right answer to every problem. With a view such as this, how will children perform in the future? It may be assumed that allpeople will see things the same way, and propose only one solution to a problem, failing to see the bigger picture.Creativity has obviously influenced earlier generations in a positive way, so there is no need to eliminate creativity from our world. What would have happened if Franklin Roosevelt had never proposed his New Deal? The Great Depression might have persisted for some time, robbing even more families of their chance at prosperity and happiness. However, by proposing a new, creative solution for the problem of the U.S.’s depression, FDR pulled the nation out of its slump. Another example of how creativity has positively influenced the world happened just recently, with the introduction of hybrid cars. These new cars do not rely on as much oil as other cars do in order to operate, using alternative energy sources instead. Without the creative minds behind the invention of these cars, the world would rely so much on its limited oil reserves that fuel would eventually run out. Because of creativity, the world has a chance to find other energy sources.Though these practical applications for creativity are conducive to everyone, the common man benefits even more from the stimulation that the arts provide. In a world dominated by political powers and torn apart by war, entertainers in the arts can inspire hope and change in everyone. A child watching a Charlie Chaplin film might decide to join the gymnastics team, or a woman observing a Monet painting in a museum might become an elementary school art teacher: who knows? The arts can transport people to other places,into different ways of thinking.The importance of creativity in the world today is enormous, for it has both pragmatic and “important”applications. Creativity is both a source for inspiration and a problem-solving method, and without it, our world would greatly suffer.范文满分点评This essay effectively and insightfully develops the point of view that creativity "is both a source for inspiration and a problem-solving method, and without it, our world would greatly suffer." The writer uses outstanding critical thinking and clearly appropriate evidence to show that creativity's benefits are both practical (the New Deal, hybrid cars) and intangible (students inspired by the arts). Well organized and focused, the essay shows clear coherence and smooth progression of ideas ("Without the creative minds behind the invention of these cars, the world would rely so much on its limited oil reserves that fuel would eventually run out. Because of creativity, the world has a chance to find other energy sources. Though these practical applications for creativity are conducive to everyone, the common man benefits even more from the stimulation that the arts provide"). It also consistently displays skillful use of language and meaningful variety in sentence structure ("However, by leaving these programs behind, children are deprived of the creative stimulation that the arts provide, and are taught to view the world in "black and white" terms: one right answer to every problem. With a view such as this, how will childrenperform in the future?").议论文2.Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below"Tough challenges reveal our strengths and weaknesses." This statement is certainly true; adversity helps us discover who we are. Hardships can often lead us to examine who we are and to question what is important in life, In fact, people who have experienced seriously adverse events frequently report that they were positively changed by their negative experiences.Assignment:Do you think that ease does not challenge us and that we need adversity to help us discover who we are? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.范文Everyone goes through their lives seeing and experiencing different things. At times, these different situations may cause one to act differently than another would in the same situation. It can be readily stated that “Ease does not challenge us; adversity helps us discover who we are.”Through literature, one can see how this statement proves to be true.In the play, “The Enemy of the People”, by Henrik Ibsen, the protagonist,Dr. Stockholm, faced adversity, and through that, was able to discover his true beliefs and who he was. Before Dr. Stockholm was put in a situation where he had to face adversity, he had lived his life with mild ease and regularity. He acted just like everyone else in the town he lived in. Years later, he discovered that the popular bath houses were infected with bacteria. Determined to spread his findings, Dr. Stockholm went to the newspaper and the local governing office to try and make his discovery known. However, both the paper and the government weren’t as inspired to really let the public know about this serious problem due to the popularity of the bath houses. As a result, Dr. Stockholm was forced to face adversity and find a way to achieve his previously set goal. Through adversity, Stockholm was able to truly see how his personality was. He was able to understand his severe discontent with the government and society as a whole. In essence, Stockholm was able to discover his actual self. This, however, only happened when he was faced with a challenge.The book, “Where the Heart is”by Billie Letts also used adversity to portray its character’s true being. The protagonist, Novalee Nation, was placed in a situation where she had to realize and conquer adversity. Novalee was a young girl of 17, who was pregnant. She had experienced extreme hardship her whole life in the trailer park environment that she had previously resided in. She also received lots of abuse from her boyfriend who impregnated her. In the story, he had left her stranded in a K-Mart all by herself, while she waspregnant. All alone, Novalle had to find a way to keep herself and her baby alive. Along the way, through adversity, Novalle found her true, kind self. She also made countless discoveries through meeting different people. Among those things was her true love for photography and literature, and most of all her yearning for love in her life.In the face of adversity, we all act differently. We each have different ideas and methods that we are accustomed to use for different situations. By acting and making decisions on our own, as we are often times forced to do when given a challenge; we are able to find out who we truly are and what we truly believe in. The characters Dr. Stockholm and Novalee Nation are examples of that kind of people in literature. However, in literature and life, it is all the same. Ease does not challenge us; adversity helps us discover who we are.得分点详解1 effectively and insightfully develops a point of view on the issue and demonstrates outstanding critical thinking, using clearly appropriate examples, reasons, and other evidence to support its position围绕论题有效、深刻地发展一个论点,运用贴切的事例、因果分析和其他证据支持论点,从而展示出色的思辨能力。

This, however, only happened when he was faced with a challenge.The book, “Where the Heart is”by Billie Letts also used adversity to portray its character’s true being. The protagonist, Novalee Nation, was placed in a situation where she had to realize and conquer adversity. Novalee was a young girl of 17, who was pregnant. She had experienced extreme hardship her whole life in the trailer park environment that she had previously resided in. She also received lots of abuse from her boyfriend who impregnated her. In the story, he had left her stranded in a K-Mart all by herself, while she waspregnant. All alone, Novalle had to find a way to keep herself and her baby alive. Along the way, through adversity, Novalle found her true, kind self. She also made countless discoveries through meeting different people. Among those things was her true love for photography and literature, and most of all her yearning for love in her life.In the face of adversity, we all act differently. We each have different ideas and methods that we are accustomed to use for different situations. By acting and making decisions on our own, as we are often times forced to do when given a challenge; we are able to find out who we truly are and what we truly believe in. The characters Dr. Stockholm and Novalee Nation are examples of that kind of people in literature. However, in literature and life, it is all the same. Ease does not challenge us; adversity helps us discover who we are.得分点详解1 effectively and insightfully develops a point of view on the issue and demonstrates outstanding critical thinking, using clearly appropriate examples, reasons, and other evidence to support its position围绕论题有效、深刻地发展一个论点,运用贴切的事例、因果分析和其他证据支持论点,从而展示出色的思辨能力。

外研社职场英语挑战赛写作大赛范文Overcoming Communication Barriers in a Globalized Workplace: A Comprehensive Guide.In today's interconnected business world, where teams span across borders and cultures, effective communication is paramount. However, navigating the complexities of global communication can be fraught with challenges. Cross-cultural differences, language barriers, technological disparities, and organizational dynamics all contribute to communication breakdowns that can hinder productivity, damage relationships, and derail projects.This comprehensive guide will delve into the myriad of communication barriers in a globalized workplace and provide practical strategies for overcoming them. By understanding the underlying causes of communication challenges and implementing effective solutions, organizations can foster a culture of open, collaborative communication that drives success in an increasinglyinterconnected world.Cross-Cultural Differences: The Invisible Obstacles.Cultural differences manifest in a myriad of ways, including communication styles, nonverbal cues, and values. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective cross-cultural communication. For example, in some cultures, direct speech is considered assertive, while in others, itis seen as impolite. Similarly, eye contact can convey respect in one culture but be perceived as a challenge in another.To overcome cross-cultural communication barriers, organizations should:Provide training on cultural sensitivity and awareness.Encourage cultural exchange programs that allow employees to experience other cultures firsthand.Establish guidelines for appropriate communicationbehavior across cultures.Foster an inclusive workplace environment where diverse perspectives are respected.Language Barriers: The Tower of Babel Effect.Language barriers are a significant obstacle to global communication. When team members speak different languages, misunderstandings can arise due to mistranslations,cultural nuances, and differing interpretations. Tomitigate these barriers:Invest in language training and translation services.Encourage employees to learn basic phrases in the languages of their international colleagues.Use visual aids, diagrams, and body language to support verbal communication.Establish clear communication protocols for writtenand verbal interactions.Technological Disparities: The Digital Divide.Technological disparities can also create communication barriers, particularly in remote or developing regions. Differences in access to the internet, software, and devices can limit communication channels and hinder collaboration. To address these disparities:Provide training on the use of relevant communication technologies.Implement flexible communication policies that accommodate different technological capabilities.Invest in infrastructure to ensure reliable and high-speed internet access.Encourage the use of universal platforms and file formats.Organizational Dynamics: The Silos of Silence.Organizational structure and dynamics can alsocontribute to communication barriers. Hierarchical structures, silos, and the lack of clear communication channels can create barriers between different departments, teams, and levels of management. To overcome these barriers:Establish clear communication channels and protocols across the organization.Encourage open and transparent communication at all levels.Foster a collaborative environment that breaks down silos and promotes knowledge sharing.Implement feedback mechanisms to ensure that communication is effective and understood.Communication Strategies for a Globalized Workplace.Beyond addressing the root causes of communication barriers, organizations should implement effective communication strategies that foster a culture of open and collaborative communication. These strategies include:Active Listening: Encourage employees to actively listen to each other, paying attention to both verbal and nonverbal cues.Empathetic Communication: Foster empathy and understanding by putting oneself in the shoes of others and considering their perspectives.Non-Judgmental Communication: Create a safe space for open dialogue by avoiding judgment and bias in communication.Regular Check-Ins: Establish regular check-ins, both formal and informal, to ensure that communication is clear and understood.Constructive Feedback: Provide constructive feedbackto help team members improve their communication skills and understanding.Conclusion: Building Bridges of Understanding.Overcoming communication barriers in a globalized workplace requires a multifaceted approach that addresses cultural differences, language barriers, technological disparities, and organizational dynamics. By understanding the underlying causes of these barriers and implementing effective communication strategies, organizations canfoster a culture of open, collaborative communication that empowers teams to achieve their goals, fosters innovation, and drives business success in an increasingly interconnected world.Remember, effective communication is the cornerstone of a harmonious and productive workplace. By embracing the challenges and implementing the solutions outlined in this guide, organizations can build bridges of understanding, break down barriers, and unlock the full potential of their global workforce.。

This has almost doubled the figure for last year.

Others argue that new graduates, who have long been in the ivory tower of education, will find launching a business too difficult.

(Suggested completion time: 90 minutes)The Most Beautiful FlowerThe park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree, disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down.And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, "Look what I found!" In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals all worn—not enough rain or light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with overacted surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it's beautiful, too. That's why I picked it; here, it's for you."The flower before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors: orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower,and replied, "Just what I need." But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.(杜爱燕)。

外研社国才杯写作大赛初赛范文

外研社国才杯写作大赛初赛范文

外研社国才杯写作大赛初赛范文A Letter from an Unknown ChildDear Mom,I have encountered the poem A Traveler's Song again in my class in the strange land where I feel lonely, and I cannot help writing something for you, Mom, even though we have been separated since long and I have to travel so much that I never actually speak to you. Now I'm writing to you to tell my story about your absence.True, life was hard without you. When I travelled in this world at the age of ten, I was always bullied by others who enjoyed the jocund company of their mothers. They laughed at me, teasing me as a "pathetic pity", as some primitive creature with no family teaching. I tried to fight back, wrestling with the boys and pulling other girls' hair, which augmented the hatred between us. Other less malicious children would shun from my presence. Things became more tricky when I entered puberty, as a growing girl lacking common sense. I was too timid to ask Dadabout the changes in my body, to whose answer I had to secretly search on the Internet for. How unfair! I'm nothing less than the others. The point is just that I travel away from you while others stay with your counterparts.I did hate you, sometimes, but always I did not. I asked Dad where you stayed, and he answered, with a hushed sob that you were travelling all around the world. That was when I burnt your photos furiously and then buried the ashes in the ground, for I thought you were such an irresponsible mother to travel all the way with no caring for your own child. Yet I came to understand, gradually, that it was my dad and I who travelled constantly and even willingly, that you were always there, waiting to hold me and caress my face in reunion.I understand this because I found the gifts that you had made for me: a hill of handmade sweaters which are meticulously designed and crafted at every corner, dazzling and rejoicing like a garden of unfurling flowers in spring; a mountain of toys for both girls and boys ( which I understand fully because you knew not my gender ); a box of letters that you composed for me, full of words like "dear" and "baby" and "my angel". ThenI finally learned to love you. I learned to write, and the very first writing was about you; I tried to paint, and I without hesitation drew down my image of you. I returned to where I had buried your photos and dug out the ashes and turned the pitch black clay into a shimmering statue of you. Father loves you as well, by the way, keeping your slippers beside his bed and renewing your transportation pass every month. Only if we could cease to travel and go back to you!However, I know I must keep traveling, because this is your wish for me, but your wish will never stop me from blaming myself.I have discovered the secret, to tell you the truth. Don't tell Dad, for I'm aware of how hard he has been trying to seal this.I overheard the reason why you were left alone and unable to travel with us when Dad was talking to my grandmother with every line on his face suffused with severe sorrow, that you had to leave because of me, that you left when I came to this world and embarked on my journey. But...but...how could you be so hard like a stone! To make me love you and let me blame myself! How could you let me kill you! I was paralyzed with an unnamed fit at that time and I rushed back to my own room, feeling something cold and sad streaking down my face.I remember that night when leaves fell without wind, and I wished to barter my life for yours in vain. I remember in the dream that you tapped on my head like a ghost and sighed, with which I soon recovered and braved my lonely journey.Now I have decided to live, not only for me, but for you. I still wear the sweaters you made, and I answer the letters you wrote, feeling your being perching on the bough of my soul. I shed tears, really, when I read the poem again. I know I must return late from my travel which is a life-long one, but I assure you that I will never forget you and never stop feeling grateful.What a pity that you may not know my name, but I will always love you.。

As he raised his hat again, I could see he was quite bald. A thin line, resembling a duelling scar, crossed one cheek.

In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the report’s opinion might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. You should write about 800 words.27Newsweek, the venerable weekly publication that will be remembered for its decades-longeffortsfor a spot on consumers’ coffee tables, has shut down its print edition at the end of 2012, but it lives onin a new digital tablet edition known as Newsweek Global. As Tina Brown, the Newsweek editor, said,this tablet edition will target a “new highly mobile, opinion-leading audience who want to learn aboutworld events in a sophisticated context.”The move should not shock. The publication has faced major financial problems in recent years. The numbers tell the tale: Newsweek’s circulation has fallen in the number of subscribers from 3 million to 1.5 million in the last decade; annual losses were thought to be $40 million. More broadly,the company faces a more existential problem in that a “weekly news” magazine has become an anachronism in the digital world.Newsweek is not the only one that has to tackle the challenge in the digital time; other outlets will continue to change their business models for a digital future. With the “imminent death” of print,digital formats come out as an inevitable development that could turn the industry’s fortune around.Sample task 2Read the following two paragraphs with contradicting views, and write a passage on the issue. You should clearly state your opinion and explain the reasons for your opinion. You shouldwrite about 800 words.Tablets are the ideal system of organization in schools. They are convenient, in which much information is stored in small sizes and kept together in one place, and cheap, as digital informationis now becoming more affordable than print. As evolution continues to rock the modern world, digitaldevices will become more and more reliable. Someday, they will entirely replace print books, and hopefully, that day will come soon.Many may argue that tablets are much more convenient than paper books. But not everyone sharesthis preference of tablets or finds them convenient. In fact, in a study conducted by Book Industry Study Group (BISG), it was found that 75% of college students preferred traditional textbooks in which they can highlight the key words and write notes. Also, some may suggest that it is cheaper toinvest in tablets than textbooks. In fact, in a 2008 study of public schools in Kentucky it was estimatedthat the cost of textbooks and supplies totaled around $44 million. The cost per school was around $988for textbooks and supplies. That is roughly the cost of only two tablets. To provide tablets to all thestudents in a school would be an enormous sum. Therefore, we may conclude that while tablets havetheir purposes, they should not replace the printed books used in schools.类型三说明文写作(Expository Writing)比赛内容:选手完成一篇说明文写作(600词左右)。
