  2. translate the following paragraph into

the box below.
 
  ▇ answers for
reference:
 
 a gold medal is a tribute to
the athletic talent, determination 
and courage
of an olympic
 
champion. then how do the
athletes make themselves 
fortunate enough to
be so highly honored? the champions who 
have
mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer
based 
on their own experiences. first, in the
course of training, they 
visualize themselves
as champions. once their dreams of 
becoming
champions take shape, they will cling to them
courageously. what’s more, top performers are
driven to bring 
out their best. they
discipline themselves and squeeze in every
possible minute to practice every day. despite
their relentless 
efforts, they may sometimes
fail to win or narrowly miss a gold 
medal, yet
they believe in themselves and never lose heart.
they are ready to take on the most
psychologically and 
technically challenging
tasks or competitions. in reality, all
champions have experienced lots of hardships
on their way to 
the vital break of their
lifetime. so we won’t and can’t say that a
champion is lucky. after all, luck only
strikes those prepared to 
capitalize on
it.
 
  theme-related writing
 
 1.
write an essay about your favorite sports team.
the 
following hints may be of some help.
 1) what is your favorite sports
team?
 
 2) why do you like it so much?
 3) do you always support the team?
 
 ▇
sample essay 1:
 
 my favorite sport team:
the chinese women’s volleyball team
 
 in
quite a few sports, chinese women athletes
outshine men 
athletes. as a girl, i always
feel proud of our women table 
tennis players,
badminton players, women divers and 
gymnasts.
but my greatest enthusiasm always goes to the
chinese women’s volleyball team, who, though
it has 
undergone some ups and downs, always
presents a positive, 
inspiring image to the
public.
 
 i’ve never missed any major tv
coverage of the chinese 
women’s team. i can’t
help getting excited watching the girls 
shine
in court, with their amazing spikes and blocks,
and their 
never-ceasing courage and faith in
winning the match. there 
are times when they
lose the game, sometimes with 
embarrassing
result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer
a 
lot of injuries and new players do not match
up to the veterans, 
yet, one must admit that
the chinese girls have been practising 
very
hard all the way.
 
 recent years have
witnessed a difficult period for the team as
russian, american, cuban, and brazilian teams
have been rising 
in ranking and winning
championships, but i still have faith in 
our
team and give them my support. i wish them good
luck in 
the coming olympics.

  2. write an essay entitled “the
meaning of winning a prize”. 
you may base your
writing on what you have learnt from the 
two
texts. the following hints may be of some
help.
 
 1) what is a prize?
 
 2)
what does a prize bring about?
 
 3) what is
the fundamental meaning of wining prizes?
 
▇ sample essay 2:
 
 in today’s society,
competitions, contests and games are held
virtually every day and everywhere. these
activities put the 
participants into two
categories: winners and losers. as 
symbols of
public recognition, prizes are awarded to those
who mount the winners’ stand.
 
a prize brings about fame, prestige and good
fortune. winners 
are constantly in the
spotlight and attract admiring attention.
their friends and colleagues come to
congratulate them and 
their families take
pride in them. more often than not, prizes
simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as
in the case of an 
olympic gold medal or a
nobel prize. therefore, winners harvest 
both a
good reputation and material rewards.
 
however, this is not the essential meaning of
wining a prize. 
winners are worthy of respect,
admiration and good fortune 
because they
embody some outstanding qualities that are
worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and
optimism. an 
athlete undergoes years of
training and takes hundreds of 
highly
demanding challenges before he steps onto that
podium; a writer becomes popular overnight
after he has spent 
years writing relentlessly
in poverty and anonymity. what’s 
more,
optimism in the face of adversity also contributes
a lot 
to their success. they believe in
themselves and have great 
passion for what
they are engaged in. they endeavor to do 
their
best,
 
enjoying the process of fighting
well. therefore, the 
fundamental meaning of
winning a prize does not merely lie in 
the
rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of
presenting 
the best part of oneself.

  as is
commonly acknowledged  it is commonly recognised
that humans are social animals. bonded
together in a 
community, we naturally expect
to have friends. as to what 
friendship is,
people have different notions  ideas. some make
friends for mutual utility. once the ground
for such friendship 
disappears, the friendship
also breaks up. however, a lot more 
people
long for soul pals— those who possess virtues and
with whom we can go through trials and
tribulations together. 
such friendships keep
us away from greed and violence and 
encourage
us to have the courage of our convictions. such is
what we call true and perfect friendship.
  theme-related writing
 
  1. bob and i
became brother-like friends in our childhood. we
played, dined and discussed our ambitions
together. once 
grown up, he started for the
west to make his fortune while i 
became a
policeman in new york. before his departure, we
had 
dinner together and we agreed that we
would meet at the same 
place exactly twenty
years from that date and time, no matter 
what
our conditions might be or from what distance we
might 
have to come.
 
  then came the
day we were supposed to meet. i was on my 
beat
then. walking up to the appointed place which had
been 
turned into a hardware store, i saw a man
standing there with 
an unlighted cigar in his
mouth. before i could speak, he told 
me that
he was waiting for a friend by the name of jimmy
wells. 
when he struck a match to light his
cigar, i saw a pale face with 
keen eyes and a
scar. i recognized him immediately. it was bob,
and it was also the face of the man wanted by
the chicago 
police. for a moment i felt like
telling him to escape right away. 
after all,
we had been friends for so many years and he had
traveled all the way to see me! but then my
sense of duty told 
me the right thing to do. i
said good-bye to him and continued 
my patrol,
his last words still ringing in my ear: “i’ll wait
for 
half an hour. jimmy will keep his
promise if he’s alive…” i then 
sent for a
plain clothes man and had bob arrested.
 
important friend in my life
 
 li qiang, one
of my classmates, is fun to be with. he is always
wearing a broad smile as if life is forever
sunshine and 
butterflies. one day, i revealed
to him my worries and anxieties: 
i, an
ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall,
even taller 
than any of the boys in my class.
i thought no boy would like 
to date me.
besides, i was very poor at my academic
courses.
 
 he suggested that i should learn
to be myself and then he 
introduced me to a
fashion show team of the university.
encouraged, i decided to change myself. after
a 3-month 
training program on weekends, i
could perform beautifully as a 
model, and
surprisingly, i could concentrate on the required
academic courses as well. the applauses i won
at each fashion 
show and the scholarship i
earned proved that being myself 
was terrific.
since then, my life has changed a lot. thus, li
qiang 
became an important friend of mine.
  last semester, we began to help young people
who suffer 
pressures from physical defects,
academic failures or financial 
problems. we
set up a confidence club. those who come to us
for help find our work definitely beneficial.
our friendship has 
led me into a sparkling,
rewarding life.

 a gold medal is a tribute to
the athletic talent, determination

of an olympic
 
champion. then how do the
athletes make themselves 
fortunate enough to
be so highly honored? the champions who 
have
mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer
based 
on their own experiences. first, in the
course of training, they 
visualize themselves
as champions. once their dreams of 
becoming
champions take shape, they will cling to them
courageously. what’s more, top performers are
driven to bring 
out their best. they
discipline themselves and squeeze in every
possible minute to practice every day. despite
their relentless 
efforts, they may sometimes
fail to win or narrowly miss a gold 
medal, yet
they believe in themselves and never lose heart.
they are ready to take on the most
psychologically and 
technically challenging
tasks or competitions. in reality, all
champions have experienced lots of hardships
on their way to 
the vital break of their
lifetime. so we won’t and can’t say that a
champion is lucky. after all, luck only
strikes those prepared to 
capitalize on
it.

sample essay 1:
 
 my favorite sport team:
the chinese women’s volleyball team
 
 in
quite a few sports, chinese women athletes
outshine men 
athletes. as a girl, i always
feel proud of our women table 
tennis players,
badminton players, women divers and 
gymnasts.
but my greatest enthusiasm always goes to the
chinese women’s volleyball team, who, though
it has 
undergone some ups and downs, always
presents a positive, 
inspiring image to the
public.
 
 i’ve never missed any major tv
coverage of the chinese 
women’s team. i can’t
help getting excited watching the girls 
shine
in court, with their amazing spikes and blocks,
and their 
never-ceasing courage and faith in
winning the match. there 
are times when they
lose the game, sometimes with 
embarrassing
result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer
a 
lot of injuries and new players do not match
up to the veterans, 
yet, one must admit that
the chinese girls have been practising 
very
hard all the way.
 
 recent years have
witnessed a difficult period for the team as
russian, american, cuban, and brazilian teams
have been rising 
in ranking and winning
championships, but i still have faith in 
our
team and give them my support. i wish them good
luck in 
the coming olympics.

  2. write an essay entitled “the
meaning of winning a prize”. 
you may base your
writing on what you have learnt from the 
two
texts. the following hints may be of some
help.
 
 1) what is a prize?
 
 2)
what does a prize bring about?
 
 3) what is
the fundamental meaning of wining prizes?
 
▇ sample essay 2:
 
 in today’s society,
competitions, contests and games are held
virtually every day and everywhere. these
activities put the 
participants into two
categories: winners and losers. as 
symbols of
public recognition, prizes are awarded to those
who mount the winners’ stand.
 
a prize brings about fame, prestige and good
fortune. winners 
are constantly in the
spotlight and attract admiring attention.
their friends and colleagues come to
congratulate them and 
their families take
pride in them. more often than not, prizes
simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as
in the case of an 
olympic gold medal or a
nobel prize. therefore, winners harvest 
both a
good reputation and material rewards.
 
however, this is not the essential meaning of
wining a prize. 
winners are worthy of respect,
admiration and good fortune 
because they
embody some outstanding qualities that are
worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and
optimism. an 
athlete undergoes years of
training and takes hundreds of 
highly
demanding challenges before he steps onto that
podium; a writer becomes popular overnight
after he has spent 
years writing relentlessly
in poverty and anonymity. what’s 
more,
optimism in the face of adversity also contributes
a lot 
to their success. they believe in
themselves and have great 
passion for what
they are engaged in. they endeavor to do 
their
best,
 
enjoying the process of fighting
well. therefore, the 
fundamental meaning of
winning a prize does not merely lie in 
the
rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of
presenting 
the best part of oneself.

  as is
commonly acknowledged  it is commonly recognised
that humans are social animals. bonded
together in a 
community, we naturally expect
to have friends. as to what 
friendship is,
people have different notions  ideas. some make
friends for mutual utility. once the ground
for such friendship 
disappears, the friendship
also breaks up. however, a lot more 
people
long for soul pals— those who possess virtues and
with whom we can go through trials and
tribulations together. 
such friendships keep
us away from greed and violence and 
encourage
us to have the courage of our convictions. such is
what we call true and perfect friendship.
  theme-related writing
 
  1. bob and i
became brother-like friends in our childhood. we
played, dined and discussed our ambitions
together. once 
grown up, he started for the
west to make his fortune while i 
became a
policeman in new york. before his departure, we
had 
dinner together and we agreed that we
would meet at the same 
place exactly twenty
years from that date and time, no matter 
what
our conditions might be or from what distance we
might 
have to come.
 
  then came the
day we were supposed to meet. i was on my 
beat
then. walking up to the appointed place which had
been 
turned into a hardware store, i saw a man
standing there with 
an unlighted cigar in his
mouth. before i could speak, he told 
me that
he was waiting for a friend by the name of jimmy
wells. 
when he struck a match to light his
cigar, i saw a pale face with 
keen eyes and a
scar. i recognized him immediately. it was bob,
and it was also the face of the man wanted by
the chicago 
police. for a moment i felt like
telling him to escape right away. 
after all,
we had been friends for so many years and he had
traveled all the way to see me! but then my
sense of duty told 
me the right thing to do. i
said good-bye to him and continued 
my patrol,
his last words still ringing in my ear: “i’ll wait
for 
half an hour. jimmy will keep his
promise if he’s alive…” i then 
sent for a
plain clothes man and had bob arrested.
 
important friend in my life
 
 li qiang, one
of my classmates, is fun to be with. he is always
wearing a broad smile as if life is forever
sunshine and 
butterflies. one day, i revealed
to him my worries and anxieties: 
i, an
ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall,
even taller 
than any of the boys in my class.
i thought no boy would like 
to date me.
besides, i was very poor at my academic
courses.
 
 he suggested that i should learn
to be myself and then he 
introduced me to a
fashion show team of the university.
encouraged, i decided to change myself. after
a 3-month 
training program on weekends, i
could perform beautifully as a 
model, and
surprisingly, i could concentrate on the required
academic courses as well. the applauses i won
at each fashion 
show and the scholarship i
earned proved that being myself 
was terrific.
since then, my life has changed a lot. thus, li
qiang 
became an important friend of mine.
  last semester, we began to help young people
who suffer 
pressures from physical defects,
academic failures or financial 
problems. we
set up a confidence club. those who come to us
for help find our work definitely beneficial.
our friendship has 
led me into a sparkling,
rewarding life.
