14、lowed 30 minutes to write a composition. The following table is for your reference. Your composition should be around 120 words. Remember to write your composition on the Composition Sheet.优秀范文 Writing seems much less important than reading. Some will write reports in English but few need English to
15、 write letters. Speaking is the least needed. Only a small fraction of students want to talk to English-speaking visitors and to attend seminars, which usually require speaking ability. None of them will give lectures in English.Based on these surveys, I think the main attention of teaching English
16、should be paid to reading comprehension.

18、e phones because of the low living standard of people. Since then, however, owing to the reform and open-door policy, people become wealthy enough to afford home phones.

19、e number doubled in 1997, eight times as many as that in 1978.The fast increase in the number of home phones not only indicates that we Chinese people are richer than ever, but also shows that we are eager to take part in social communication.

22、 city traffic. Others are in favor of the subway train. Between them, which is the better choice?It is easier to take buses as means of city traffic than the subway trains because buses dont need special roads. But buses have also many disadvantages, some of which are very serious. They may cause lo
23、uder noise and more traffic accidents. Buses give rise to serious air pollution and traffic jam. In order to stop what buses cause, a large amount of hand must be used to widen the roads. On the contrary, the subway train is of more advantages. Except the difficulty and high cost of building the sub
24、way, it is superior to the buses in many aspects.Taking the advantages and disadvantages together into consideration, I would be in favor of developing the subway train as soon as possible.Number of ScholarshipsDirections: for this part, you are allowed to write a composition based on the following

In 1994,there were only a little more than 400 students being granted scholarships.The steady increase in the number of students receiving schola
28、rships in the eight-year period might be caused by many factors, such as steady increase in economy, governments emphasis on education and more private donations to the universities. What caused the sharp decline in 1994 is hard to say. Financial problems were probably one of the causes for that.Fil
