You want to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area. Write a letter to the department concerned, asking them to help find a candidate. You should specify what kind of child you want to help and how you will carry out your plan.
Write your letter in no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter; use “Li Ming” instead. Do not write the address. (10 points)
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to ask you whether you could help me find a child in a remote area to whom I will offer my financial aid.
It would be most helpful if the recipient of my financial assistance is a primary school girl living in the western region of our country. Girls in poor regions are often forced to drop school because of poverty, and I hope one of them can have the chance to finish schooling with my help. The candidate should be a girl at the age of 8 to 10 and her previous score reports should prove her potential to be an outstanding student in the future.
I would like to give the girl my financial support annually until she graduates from college. The money will cover her tuition fee and other
expenses at school. Besides, I will correspond with her frequently so that she can seek advice whenever she needs.
I really appreciate your help and look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

As is vividly depicted in the left picture, a man has had David Beckham’s name written on his face. And in the right picture, a man who is having a hair cut asks the barber to cut his hair on the model of David Beckham, the popular British soccer star, for which he pays RMB 300. Such cases of idolatry are not uncommon in today’s China. According to a survey, a high percentage of junior high school students can be
described as idol worshipers. The younger generation is demonstrating their respect for their heroes in every perceivable way. They spend hours waiting for their idol at the airport. They scream wildly at him at a concert. They collect every possible thing they could find about him. And they even thrill at the mere sight of him. Yet many parents find it difficult to conceal their worry about their children’s idol worship. They think it’s a waste of time and energy. Their children’s emotions and attentions are entwined with the idol, who, in their minds, has nothing to do with their lives. It makes their children wild and distracts them from the studies. There is nothing wrong for one to have his own role model. However, if young people adore the pop stars to the extent of losing self-control, they misunderstand the significance of popular culture. Anyway, popular culture is to enrich our life. Young people should learn how to live their own lives instead of blindly following others’ footsteps. Maybe the point for balanced and moderate idol worship is trying to rationalize their rational by focusing on the attributes of an idol that have made him successful.

Write a letter to you university library, making suggestions for improving
its service.
You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.

To whom it may concern,
As a senior student of the university, I am writing the letter to make some suggestions for improving the service of university library.
On the whole, I think our library functions pretty well, but its service is far from being perfect. Firstly, it is quite convention to arrange an inquiry desk at the circulation hall, which enables the students to ask questions whenever necessary. Then, with the help of a professional librarian, students can go through the procedures more efficiently. In addition, it would be most helpful if the students have access to the latest issues of foreign magazines. Lastly, you’d better maintain strict order at the reading room. I frequently found myself disturbed by certain students chatting and smoking there.
It is my sincere hope that you will take my advice into consideration and I hold that it will benefit both the students and the university faculty as well.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

This cartoon depicts a picture of a football game with two players facing each other. One player is going to kick the ball while the goal keeper is standing in front of a goal, ready to protect it. But both parties are losing their confidence. The striker magnifies the goal-keeper in his mind so that chances of shooting in are slim. Likewise, the goal-keeper minimizes his own image as if he couldn’t defend the goal successfully. Obviously, both of the players in the picture don’t have enough confidence and if you have little confidence, how can you achieve your goal in life?The purpose of the picture is to emphasize the importance of self-confidence in our daily life. Confidence is very importance of self-confidence in our daily life. Confidence is very important in building
a career. The belief of what one can achieve and succeed often spells the difference between success and failure. On account of the fast pace of life, competition goes increasingly fierce in all walks of life, imposing tremendous pressure on all individuals. The past few years have witnessed great increase in the difficultly of examinations and employment. Thus we must maintain powerful self-confidence and optimism in the face of challenge so as to survive and succeed. Confidence can be shown in the performance of many people. Take Liuxiang as example. It is because of his self-confidence that he never shrinks in front of other experienced players and works wonders again and again. On the contrary, some athletes do well in everyday training, but when facing other people they fail to present the best of themselves for the lack of self-confidence. As the saying goes, confidence is the first step to success!Only by building strong self-confidence can we move closer to our dreams.

In the picture presented to us, two handicapped men who have only one leg left respectively are working together to run quite fast with their crutches left behind them. Obviously when they are separate, they have to rely on the crutch to walk. However, when supporting each other, they are able to continue their journey quite smoothly and easily. As what is said in the picture, “Helping each other, we can travel extensively.”
In fact, the picture reminds us of the importance of cooperation and without it, the society we live in can not go smoothly. Human beings are social beings, so no one can exist alone in the society. If you want to play a game, you have to play or work with others and you cannot play single-handed and win. What you have to do is to cooperate with your playmates who may make the social ladder for you to climb to the top. For a football team or volleyball team, cooperation is always put in the first place because without teamwork, it is impossible for a team to win
even if all members are wonderful players individually.
In conclusion, we get mutual help and understanding from cooperation, with which the world is able to progress at peace and in harmony.

Restrictions on the use of plastic bags have not been so successful in some regions. "White pollution "is still going on. Write a letter to the editor(s) of your local newspaper to

Dear sir/madam,
I am a university student. I am writing the letter to give my opinion on “White Pollution” in China. I have noted that since the campaign to fight
“White Pollution” by reducing the use of plastic bags was launched, some people have turned to use cloth bags. However, a mass convention to the use of cloth bags is unlikely to happen quickly. In my opinion, the government should play a role of policy-making to reduce the use of plastic bags. For example, it can levy a tax on “white”products. The higher the cost of using plastic bags is, the less the chance that people choose to use them is. Moreover, environmentally friendly cloth bags should be distributed to customers in some supermarkets. If people use a cloth bag at a supermarket for shopping, they can probably reuse it and gradually get used to using cloth bags instead of plastic bags. I will appreciate your taking my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

The painter of this picture is really imaginative. According to his understanding of the real world, the human society is depicted as a cobwed through the Internet on insect to communicate with others. As shown in the picture, confined to homes or offices, each person sits in front of computer screens sending or receiving information from the world.
Indicative of this picture is the decrease of face-to-face communications. In consequence, although the society seems to be physically woven as a “cobweb” by the Internet, it is possible that social members will be separated from each other in the long run. Firstly, when people get accustomed to the convenience of the computer, they would not bother to make face-to-face contact with their friends and relatives. Secondly, with the increasing dependency on the internet, more and more work can not be accomplished without the Internet; therefore people will spend more time in front of computer screens and hence reduce the time in activities that require face-to-face communication. In addition, many people make on-line friends and indulge in chatting through the Internet, which means that they will gradually keep away from their friends in real life.
In sum, while the Internet does provide a convenient network for
social members, there is possibility that people will spend less time in face-to-face communications and therefore the Internet would bring us a separated world. In consequence, we would balance the Internet communication with face-to-face contact.

The above picture shows us a boiling hotpot containing various ingredients, such as Daoism, Confucianism, deconstruction, Kong fu, ballet and Einstein. It seems as if the hotpot is very yummy and
nutritious.
Obviously, the delicious hotpot in the picture stands for the culture. The coexistence of different culture is the secret of the successful cooking. Although it is always easy to deal with the things that you are familiar with, to take a sip of the soup in the hotpot is more rewarding than challenging. The 2008 Olympic opening ceremony impressed the whole world with a fantastic mosaic culture show. Rather than the communication barriers, cultural diversity is a driving force of development, not only in respect of economic growth, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual, emotional moral and spiritual life. As it is suggested in the picture, to cook the delicious hotpot, we should embrace Chinese culture and foreign culture, cherishing traditional and classic culture and not rejecting modern and popular culture at the same time.
To young people, those with vast cultural experience are usually smart, funny, farsighted and sociable. To a society, the coexistence of all sorts of culture means harmony and developmen t. Let’s enjoy the inviting hotpot now.。
