Write an email to the editor of your local newspaper, stating your point of view on reading extensively.

预测范文

Dear Editors,

I have been reading your newspaper for many years with great enthusiasm and interest. Now I would like to render my own idea on reading extensively.

Nowadays few of us read extensively after we leave school. This tendency is rather disturbing, for one should know that reading extensively are no less necessary to one’s mental life than fresh air to one’s physical life. From reading extensively, we can derive companionship, experience and instruction. First and foremost, a good book is our faithful friend. It can increase our contentment when we are cheerful and happy, and lessen our pain when we are sad or lonely. Furthermore, reading extensively can also offer us a wide range of experiences.

Though with the advent of TV and Internet, books are no longer read as extensively as they once were, nothing can replace the role that reading extensively plays in our lives.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

尊敬的编辑：

多年来我一直怀着极大的热情和兴趣阅读贵报。现在我想关于读书问题提出我自己的看法。

当今我们中很少有人离开学校后再坐下来读书。这种倾向令人担忧，因为我们知道，书籍对人的精神犹如空气对人的身体同样是十分必需的。从读书中我们可以得到伴侣，得到经历，受到教益。首先，一本好书就是我们一个忠实的朋友。当我们高兴和幸福时，书能增添我们的快乐;当我们伤心和孤独时，书能减轻我们的痛苦。其次，书还能向我们提供各种经历。

虽然随着电视、手机和网络的出现，读书的人没有以前多了，但没有什么东西可以取代书籍在我们生活中的作用。

预测范文

If given the choice, a great many people would change at least one aspect of their appearance. As is depicted in the drawing, a young lady is requesting a doctor to give her a straighter nose, bigger lips, smaller chin, slimmer figure, and so on. One option that has gained tremendous popularity in recent decades is plastic surgery, the branch of surgery dealing with therapeutic or cosmetic reformation of body issue.

Firstly, one’s appearance is the God’s blessing, and has been one part of our body. After breast enlargement surgery, many women look sexier than before. However, many of them are found mammary gland disease. The more serious effect is that they risk being unable to breast feed. Secondly, the advocating for such a practice will mislead people in the judgment of beauty. The concept of beauty is quite rich in its content. It should include many virtues like honesty, diligence, and so on, which should be the real mainstream of our spiritual life. The practice and some contests about man-made beauty will confuse those who are to develop correct concept of beauty.

Concerning the above possible harms the practice may bring about, we are strongly against it and advocate seeking true and natural beauty. Besides, people, especially women, should lay more attention on the cultivation of their inner hearts. The inner beauty outweighs the outside beauty in the long run.

参考译文

如果可以选择的话，很多人至少要改变他们相貌的一个方面。如图所示，一位女士正在请求一位医生给她更笔挺的鼻子、大点儿的嘴唇、小点儿的下巴、更苗条的身段等等。最近几十年来，一个极其受欢迎的选择就是整容手术——治疗或美容性的修正人体组织的外科手术的一个分支。

首先，人的外表是上天的赐予，而且是我们身体的一个部分。在丰胸手术之后，很多女性看起来比以前更加性感。然而，她们中的很多人发现有乳腺疾病。更严重的后果就是他们冒着无法哺乳的风险。其次，提倡这种行为将误导人们对美的判断。美的观念内容非常丰富。它应该包括例如诚实、勤奋等很多美德，这才应该是我们精神生活中真正的主流。这种行为以及关于整容的比赛将误导人们拥有正确的美的观念。

考虑到这种行为可能带来的上述危害，我们强烈反对整容，并提倡追求真实自然的美。其次，人们尤其是女性应该更加重视培养内在的心灵。长远看来，内在美超出外在美。

预测范文

As is shown in the picture above, raising up his head, a young boy is holding a glorious sun with his firm hand. The caption indicates that “With dreams, our heart can fly high; with flight, our dreams will not be far away”.

Some people think that dream is good for success while others argue that it is not so good because it may get people unrealistic. Obviously, dream is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic. First and foremost, there is power in dream. The dream can lead people to the path they want to go on and it gives us passion. The dream can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls. Furthermore, we are born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle. It is this childlike wonder and dream that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, no matter how old they are. Lastly, people with dreams also love what they do, regardless of money or power or title.

In short, God gives each bird its food, but he does not throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, just cherish your precious dreams and let your dream be realized.

如图所示，一个小男孩抬起头，正在用坚定的手托举着一颗辉煌的太阳。文字说明显示：“有了梦想，我们的心有了飞翔。有了飞翔，我们的梦想不再遥远”。

有些人认为梦想对成功有好处，而其他人认为由于梦想可能使人们不太现实，因此梦想没什么好处。显而易见，只有在梦想鼓舞人心并非常现实的情况下，梦想才对我们的生活是必须的。首先，梦想拥有力量。梦想可以引领人们走上他们想选择的道路，并且给予我们激情。梦想可以是对生活的热爱，使我们的眼中熠熠闪光，使我们的步伐轻快，抚慰我们灵魂的创伤。其次，我们生来就拥有天真热情的惊喜之情，任何人只要曾经见过婴儿对于钥匙叮当声或甲虫爬行的快乐，都会深有体会。正是这种孩子似的惊喜和梦想，才赋予热情的人们一种青春的气息，无论他们岁数多大。最后，拥有梦想的人们不顾金钱、权利或职位，也热爱他们的所作所为。

总之，世界上有许许多多的机会，但我们必须自己去把握。无论你想做什么，珍惜你可贵的梦想并让梦想实现。
