For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances if not necessary as well as using renewable

【范文】
From the chart we can see clearly that the number of Internet surfers in our country has increased from 26.5 million in July 2001 to 45.8 million in July 2002, and then to 59.1 million in January 2003.
In my mind, the reasons why the Internet surfers are on the rise are as follows. First, the Internet can help us accomplish many tasks, including both work and play—searching for information has become more convenient than ever, and safe online business is no longer a dream. Besides, surfing the Internet is becoming cheaper and cheaper—more and more people can afford it.
The negative effects of the Internet are also clear. To begin with, sitting too long before the computers is harmful to our body, especially our eyes. Second, more and more people become indulged in playing video games or chatting online, which are time-consuming.
All in all, I should say the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The key lies in whether we can make good use of it to enhance both work and study.
【点评】
首段叙述从 2001 年至 2003 年我国上网用户总人数的变化趋势。第二段分两方面给出其中的原因：首先是因特网方便快捷、作用巨大;其次是费用降低。第三段分两个方面指出面临的困难和问题：首先是上网时间过长有害健康;其次是有些人上网玩游戏、聊天，这都是不好的习惯。第四段做总结：第一句指出利大于弊;第二句说关键在于好好利用因特网。
第二段首句中的 in my mind 意思是“依我看，在我看来”;第三段中的 be harmful to 意为“对……有伤害”，become indulged in 意思是“沉迷于”，time-consuming 是“浪费时间”的意思;最后一段首句中的 outweigh 意为“比……重要”。

1. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On Water Shortage. You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline given below:
1. Water shortage is becoming an urgent problem
2. Possible reasons
3. Possible solutions
参考范文：On Water Shortage
No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.
A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following might be the critical ones. First, with the development of agriculture and industry, an increasing amount of water is needed. Secondly, the ever-increasing population is another leading cause of water shortage. Besides, the global tendency of warming up also contributes to the problem. What’s worse, pollution and waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.
In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to protect water resources. Secondly, people should enhance their awareness of saving water. With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to expect a brighter future.

I learned from Beijing Youth Daily Oct. 2 that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it"s a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.
I graduated two years ago from Beijing University of Technology, and obtained a bachelor"s degree in the field of business manage?ment. During my stay in the university my major courses included macro-economics, business communication skills, marketing and com?puter applications. I was especially fond of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well.
Upon graduation I engaged with HP China Branch as an assis?tant to the head of Marketing Department. My responsibilities consist?ed of carrying out market surveys, writing reports and organizing meet?ings within the department. This two-year experience has helped me a lot in many ways. In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of co-ordination and co-operation among co-workers. I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your
company.
I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 with high marks. My spoken English is also fluent enough to organize meetings in English, which was actually my routine work in HP. Most of my market reports were presented in English, as my former boss is a native English speaker. I enclose here in my resume and some relevant documents as re?quired. And if you need any further information on me, I also refer you to Mr. Johnson, my ex-colleague, who is available at 021-66668888.
I appreciate your sincere consideration of me, and am looking forward to an early interview with you.
Sincerely yours,

13. Drunk Driving 1. 现象 2. 原因 3. 你的看法 【精彩范文】Drunk Driving
Most countries in the world have harsh laws aimed at
penalizing drunk driving. But until recent years, drunk driving was rampant in China, due to weak legal provisions and enforcement. The past decade has witnessed tremendous increase in the number of motor vehicles, most of which are private cars. The lack of legal traditions targeted at drunk driving and people’s lack of legal awareness have given rise alarming traffic casualties as a result of drunk driving.
Drunk driving has created traffic accidents whose implications extend far beyond the traffic realm. In many cases, the drunken drivers are high-ranking government officials or wealthy businessmen who could use their influence, privileges, connections and bribes to get off unpunished. This has occasioned serious social problems because justice is not done and the value of the lives of ordinary people is not duly respected. Those problems in turn contribute to the already widening inequalities between the poor and the rich in the Chinese society, to such an extent that only the institution and the enforcement of the most stringent laws can answer to the rising public complaints.
According to the law introduced since May 1 this year, anybody guilty of drunk driving would be severely fined, subjected to a 6-month detention, and deprived of his driving
license. I am totally in favor of this law because it has dramatically reduced cases of drunk driving. Having committed drunk driving, wealthy businessmen, high-ranking government officials, and celebrated musicians have been arrested, sued for criminal offenses, and sentenced. All these indicate that no one is above law, which ruthlessly enforced, would benefit all of us.
【参考译文】
醉驾入刑
世界上大多数国家都有严酷的法律，旨在惩处酒后驾车。但直至最近几年，酒后驾车在中国一直甚为猖獗，原因在于无论是所制定的法规，还是执法活动本身，都过于薄弱。过去的十年目睹了机动车数量的迅猛增长，其中大多是私家车。针对酒后驾车行为，相关法律传统的缺失，以及民众法律意识的淡漠， 已造成了令人发指的醉驾肇事交通伤亡事件。
醉驾所引发的交通事故，其含义已远远超出了交通领域本身。在相当多的醉驾案例中，醉酒的司机是政府高官，或腰缠万贯的生意人，他们可以利用其影响力、特权、人脉关系以及贿赂来逃脱法律的惩处。这便引发了严重的社会问题，因为正义无法得以伸张，普通百姓的生命的价值得不到应有的尊重。这些问题反过来又加剧了中国社会贫富阶层之间早就在日趋扩大的社会不公；其程度之严重，唯有制定并
实施最严厉的法律，方能回应愈发沸腾的民怨。
按照今年五月一日起执行的法律，任何犯有醉驾罪责的人，将会接受高额罚款，处以六个月的拘役，并吊销驾照。我完全赞同这一法律，因为它已立竿见影地减少了醉驾的个案数量。在犯下醉驾罪责后，有钱的生意人、政府高官、以及着名音乐人，都纷纷遭到拘留，被提起刑事诉讼，直至判刑。所有这一切表明，没有人可以凌驾于法律之上。因此，对法律铁面无私地加以执行，必将造福于我们每个人。
