3．友谊的重要性（The Importance of Friendship）
1）I consider friendship to be one of the most important things in life.
2）Friendship provides a critical buffer against stress and helps to protect against psychological and psychiatric problems.
3）Difficulty in making and keeping friends leads to feelings of low self-esteem and these feelings usually continue into adulthood.
4）Friendship is a wonderful thing and is vitally important for personal growth and success.
5） A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you.
4．选择朋友（How to Choose Friends）
1As the saying goes “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments --- without feeling jealous.
2Honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are.
3 A good friend is one who’s selfless, understanding, and genuine; he or she shouldn’t be a hypocrite.
4 A good friend listens to you, really cares, always shows an interest in you, puts your needs first and is there for you when you need him or her the most.
5 A good friend should be considerate, understanding, willing to help, kind and trustworthy.
5．教育的重要性
1Education is the process of instruction aimed at the all round development of boys and girls.
2Education dispels ignorance. It is the only wealth that cannot be robbed.
3Learning includes the moral values and the improvement of character and the methods to increase the strength of mind.
4 A good moral based education is also a must.
5Education forms students’ characters, increases their strength of mind and knowledge, and makes them independent.
6The nation's vitality depends upon a well-educated citizenry. The goal of the college staff is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential to living in and contribution to an
ever-changing democratic society.
7Generally, at the start of a very young age, children learn to develop and use their mental, moral and physical powers, which they acquire through various types of education.
8Education is commonly referred to as the process of learning and obtaining knowledge at school, in a form of formal education. However, the process of education does not only start when a child first attends school. Education begins at home.
9One does not only acquire knowledge from a teacher; one can learn and receive knowledge from a parent, family member and even an acquaintance.
10In almost all societies, attending school and receiving an education is extremely vital and necessary if one wants to achieve success.
11Learning subjects in school is not enough. One can learn history, math, science in school, and be "book-smart". In addition, one can learn how to live life by knowing what to say when, acting a certain way in certain situations and be "street-smart". These two types of knowledge are extremely essential to be successful in life. For example, you can have all the "book" knowledge in the world about a certain profession, but if you don't know how to behave with your co-workers and or your superiors, having "book" knowledge won't get you too far.
12But no matter what, education is the key that allows people to move up in the world, seek better jobs, and ultimately succeed fully in life. Education is very important, and no one should be deprived of it.
13Education is the special manifestation of men,
14It is the treasure, which can be preserved without fear of loss.
15The fundamental purpose of education is the same at all times and in all places.
卡片范例：
I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist It might even be the greatest of the art since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
I shall speak of my English teacher in college because in addition to the other things, he brought discovery.
Unlike most teachers who taught us grammar and vocabulary, he managed to arouse our interest in English language. By reading poems and playing graceful songs, he made us feel positive and enthusiastic to learn the language. Never torturing us by dictation or assignment deadline, he encouraged us to memorize whatever literature we like. He aroused us to shouting and discussions at class. He had the noisiest class in college and he didn’t even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject.
He was warned by the faculty leader for failing to teach exam-oriented subjects. Such things must be learned. But he left a passion in us for the language and she inflamed us with a curiosity which has never left. I hated memorizing new words but through him I sensed that the vocabulary was very much like music. I feel lucky that I have such a miracle teacher who lightens up my life of English learning.
三、成功的、有冒险精神的人
三、成功的、有冒险精神的人
用形容词而不是名词限定人物描述的话题，是2008的一个新变化。

与传统的描述人物类的话题不同，这些卡片为考生限定了人物的性格，从而更具体，也更困难。

应对这类话题的策略是尽量拓展这个形容词的外延，如喜欢冒险的人，不一定都是探险式的人物，有传奇的经历。

他/她可以是你身边的朋友、同事，对一切新鲜事物充满好奇，有强烈的求知欲；成功的人可以是你崇拜的偶像明星，更可以是身边任何一个生活得快乐、满足的人。

描述这类话题的提纲如下：
● Who is the person you’d like to describe? ● When and how did you know each other? ● What is his/her character?
● What adventurous/successful thing did he/she do? ● What did you think of his/her character? ● What influence does he/she bring on you?
● Why do you think he/she is adventurous/successful?
1. 成功人士的特点（Characteristics of Successful People ） dream 梦想
plan 计划
willpower 毅力
talent 才能 motivated 有动力的
focus 专心的
responsible 负责任的 determined 坚定的 courageous 有勇气的 self-reliant 自立的 cooperative 合作的 enthusiastic 热情的 self-disciplined 自律的 open-minded 虚心的
straightforward 正直的，坦率的
strong-willed 意志坚定的
2. 成功的定义（The Definition of Success ）
● Success is difficult to define because it means different things to different people. It even means different things to the same people at different times.
● Success is a state of mind. It’s about achievement for sure, but exactly what needs to be achieved in order to feel successful varies with each individual.
Describe a successful person you know. You should say: Who he/she is;
How you knew each other;
And explain why you think he/she is successful.
●Success is not a stabilized, permanent state of achievement.
●Being successful means making sacrifices and thinking about what it is that you want to achieve and then working towards your goal.
●Success, in the action sense, is achieving something you have set out to do and wanted to do.
●Success can, and should, be found everywhere: at home, at work, at play, at school, and in personal relationships.
●Success comes from you doing your absolute best, which is something only you can determine and control.
●Success isn’t any particular place, but rather the distance you travel to get there.
●Success will usually consist of continually reaching a series of reasonable and practical goals. But it will also consist of many minor successes along the way - ones that might occur in a single week, day, hour or minute.
● A successful person knows what he or she wants, knows how to get it, has achieved the goals and dreams that were the driving force of their life.
●If a person is content to be content, grateful when happy, and knows how to pass thru bad times without changing their attitude towards life, they are successful.

Success is different for each individual person. For some, it means increasing position in career; for some, it means being respected and admired by others. In my humble opinion, I think a successful person is one who sets himself firmly reasonable goals and work hard towards them. My uncle Gorge is such a guy.
Lame from an accident, Gorge walks with a cane, which prevents him from going to college and getting a decent job, but never prevents his ambition and willpower. In fact, he is the most strong-willed person I’ve ever seen. I go hiking with him as a companion every Sunday morning. He always tells me to set the pace and he will follow. He walks slowly but firmly. My invitation to have a break is often rejected. Sometimes I even feel that he rather than I is the pace-setter.
Last year George told me that he was writing a book. To be honest, I didn’t take it seriously. On New Year festival, to our surprise, the present George sent us was his published book. George is the type of people who maintains a positive attitude and eliminates negativity from life. He knows what he wants and tries to achieve it. I ink he is a successful person.
