City Life and Suburban Life(1) In recent years more and more homes are being pushed outwards as the activities of business, government and pleasure tend to be concentrated in the centers of the cities. (2) Although most people are reluctant to move to the outskirts of the cities, I feel like living in the suburbs. 以一般人的做法引出相反的看法，即全文中心论点(3) It is true that the city can provide much convenience and entertainment, the very reason people can’t bear to part with city life.先退一步承认B 的优点/ 同位语(4) But the cost for the privilege of living in the city is also high.具体阐述B的缺点(5) Just think of the places where we live, full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, torn by the roar of buses and lorries day and night, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds. (6) Besides, as the housing problem in the central city gets more serious, people have to pay high rents for very tiny flats which I would certainly disdain to live in. 用具体形象细节说明(7) In contrast, living near the countryside one can enjoy the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the quiet, peaceful surroundings—the essentials of a healthy life. 正面阐述A的优点/ 同位语(8) Nothing can be compared, as the pace of modern life is getting quicker, with the first cock crow, the twittering of birds at dawn, and the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and green fields.用具体细节形象说明(9) Although living in the suburbs you may suffer a little discomfort brought about by the necessity of traveling miles to work every day, the situation will change soon as many highways and subways are being constructed.(10) The new suburban life is fast becoming a predominant pattern of living in most cities; and with the improvement of traffic and the perfection of services, it will prove to hold great superiority over city life. 最后展望未来，强化论点Why College Students T ake a Part-time Job?1. 最近几年越来越多的大学生加入打工的队伍2. 为什么大学生要打工3. 大学生打工的意义(1) According to a recent survey, about 56 percent of Chinese college students held a part-time or temporary job in 2000, compared with nearly zero in 1990, and this figure may increase to 70 percent this year. （用数据和事实引出将要讨论的现实）(2)College students are working as tutors, salespersons, engineers and doing whatever work they can find.（形象化描述）（3）Why do they want odd jobs—jobs usually requiring little skill and knowledge?（承上启下，引出解释/同位语）（4）The primary reason, I think, is money. （原因一/短句变化）（5）Feeling the financial pressure as books, movies and bus fares have all gone up in price, there is scarcely a young boy or girl who does not want to earn a little money to help cover the increasingly higher college costs, and at best save enough to go traveling or buy things they have long desired. (措辞变化)（6）In this way they hope to be financially independent and avoid the indignity of having to ask for money again and again.(7) Besides they want to gain some experience in the ways of society.(原因二)(8) Students growing up from nursery school to college only know about books and have trouble dealing with realities. (9) Working on a part-time basis can provide them with a rare opportunity to know the outside world and prepare them for a future career.(措辞变化)(10)The significance of college students doing a part-time job means more than money and experience: It will broaden their outlook and exert aprofound influence on their personality and life.

(以事实引出全文的中心论点) （2）Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.(3) The most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. (副作用一)（4）As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student isdriven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively. (对照句突出矛盾) (5)Examinations do not motivate a student to seek more knowledge, but to restrict his reading; theydo not enable him to study consistently throughout the semester, but to induce cramming duringexam week. (6) Examinations also lower the standards of teaching. (副作用二) （7）Since teachersthemselves are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students inexam techniques.(8) And no subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approachedwith intent to take examinations.(9) Actually, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to thestudents’ academic development. (10) If that’s the case, why can’t we make a change and devisesomething more efficient and reliable than examinations? (总结全文，并以问题结尾启发读者思考)5 The Development of a Private Car以事实情况，引出全文主题(1) With the increase in the general standard of living, some ordinary Chinese families begin to afford a car. (2) Y et opinions of the development of a private car vary from person to person.优点(3) Some claim that there are many advantages in possessing a car. (4) It gives a much greater degree of comfort and mobility. (5) The owner a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and hence no irritation caused by waiting for buses or taxis. (6) With a car he can go where he likes and when he wants, so much so that he can enjoy his leisure to the full by making trips to the country or seaside on the weekends, instead of being confined to his immediate neighborhood. 转折，承上启下，引出问题(7) However, others strongly object to developing private cars.缺点(8) They maintain that as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. (9) In fact, private cars contribute to traffic congestion so greatly that the advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled out by the frustration caused by traffic jams.平横两方面，提出看法（10）her private cars should be developed in China is a difficult question to answer, yet the desire for the comfort and independence a private car can bring won’t be eliminated.Is Stress a Bad Thing?1．有人害怕压力2．有的人认为压力并不是一件坏事3．我的看法（1）“I can’t stand the pressure and competition,” explained one friend of mine when asked why he decided to quit his highly-paid but demanding position in his company recently.（2）My friend may have his own reasons, but I don’t think his decision is wise in reality.（3）I t’s true that my friend’s case is not unique. （4）In the last few years quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive at the cost of a comfortable, easy life a highly-paid job can obtain. （5）They are afraid that the stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally. （6）In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. （7）Unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. （8）People under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth-the very aim of a human life.（9）Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. （10）What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal whit it rather than to escape from it.A Letter of Application(1)I was pleased to see your ad in Xinmin Evening Newa on November 14,1995 for asales engineer.
