Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?1.校园是否应对游客开放,人们看法不同。
你的观点;2.阐述你的理由;3.结论,重申观点。
It is true that many university campuses, especially those of the famous ones, have recently become the new tourist attractions.Some people are quite in favor of the campus’ opening to tourists while others are opposed to it. The opening of campus will stimulate the tourist industry, but the easier access to campus will lead to some accidents or safety problems which will interfere in students’ life.In my opinion, campuses can be open to tourists once a week, say, on Saturday or Sunday. This suggestion, I believe, is quite workable because it could kill two birds with one stone. For one thing, campuses could attract many tourists on weekends, thus boosting the tourism. For another, restricted opening of campus will beneficially narrow the gap between campuses and the outside world. Furthermore, this will also attract more public attention and build a great reputation for the university.Unit Two4. Translation1).

Parents Are the Best Teachers1.父母是最好的老师;2.解释其中的原因;3.重申观点。
We will all have many teachers in our lives. They include not only our teachers in school, but our classmates and friends, our colleagues and ourbosses and, most importantly, our parents. Our parents are our first and best teachers because they teach us the most important things in life, teach us continually and always have our best interests at heart.First, our parents begin teaching us the moment we are born, and what they teach us in those early years are the most important things we can learn. They teach us how to get along with other people. In addition, they teach us how to be independent and how to learn. Of course, they also teach us language and many other practical skills. Second, our parents are always teaching us whether we realize it or not. They teach both in words and by example. Finally, our parents are devoted teachers who always want the best for us. Their purpose for teaching us is to prepare us for a good life in the future.Throughout our lives we will learn from many people, for there is something that we can learn from everyone we meet. However, no teacher can take the place of our parents because they are our most devoted and best teachers.Unit Three4. Translation1.
