[参考范文] Dear Editor, I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether passengers who ride in a car driven by a drunken driver should be punished. The minority of the students hold the opinion that punishing the passengers helps to reduce traffic accidents and increase traffic safety. Not to ride in a car driven by a drunken driver is not only a responsible behavior for passengers themselves but also for the drivers and other people on the road. The majority of the students, however, disapprove of the idea, stating that it is difficult for common passengers to know whether the driver has been drinking or not. What’s more, even if the passenger knows the driver has drunk alcohol and has attempted to persuade the driver not to drive, it is unfair to punish the passenger when the driver does not follow the advice. As far as I am concerned, punishing passengers as well as the drivers is not only unfair but is also hard to carry out. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 2、最近一则关于“狼爸”通过严厉的家教, 甚至鞭打子女促使他们考上北大的报道掀起了讨论的热潮。你们学校上周末也因此开展了一场“Is Wolf Dad approach wrong?”的讨论, 你对辩论赛作了一份总结。
[写作内容] 1. 以上表格的内容; 2. 你的看法。 参考词汇:rebellious adj. 叛逆的 [参考范文] Last weekend, a debate was held in my school about whether Wolf Dad approach is wrong and students hold different opinions. 20% of the students think highly of Wolf Dad approach because they firmly believe that it can teach a child self-discipline, which is very important for their growth. What is more, too many Chinese children are ruined with excessive love and care so Wolf Dad approach is a good solution to this big problem。However, the majority of the students disapprove of this approach, believing that it is rude and even illegal. In addition, children may become more rebellious and it is more important for them to have a happy childhood. From my perspective, Wolf Dad approach is too extreme and is not suitable for every family. 3、如今, 选美比赛在青少年中越来越普及, 因此你们班就此开展了一场“Should beauty contests be held among teenagers?”的讨论, 请你根据下面表格内容写一份总结。
[参考范文] Recently our class has had a heated discussion about whether beauty contests should be held among teenagers. Some students hold the opinion that love of beauty is part of human nature, so beauty contests not only provide a stage for people to show off their beauty but also a good chance to appreciate beauty. Beauty contests, in their opinion, can help improve teenagers’ tastes like helping them choose the right clothes for important occasions. However, other students disagree because they are afraid that most beauty contests focus on contestants’ appearance, which encourages teenagers to run blindly after appearances。Moreover, many beauty contests are too commercialized and it is a waste of time and money to take part. Although our classmates’ opinions vary, we can still safely draw the conclusion that a good face is not the key to success and we should focus more on inner beauty. 九、新闻报道 (一)相关短语 1、learn about 了解 2、be to set for 将前往 3、places of interest 名胜古迹 4、an exchange visit 回访 5、gather together 集中 6、get close to 靠近 7、release pressure 释放压力 8、grow up happily 快乐地成长 9、according to 根据 10、appreciate poetry 欣赏诗歌 11、exchange thoughts 交流想法 12、recite one’s works 背诵作品 13、at the invitation of 在……的邀请下 14、be impressed by 被……给予深刻印象

Many competitors said that they were getting close to poems through this competition. It was also said that poetry could help them release pressure and grow up happily. The headmaster encouraged us to think like a poet, that is, be sensitive and sincere towards the world. 3、假设你是《英文早报》的兼职小记者, 伦敦组委会公布了奥运火炬传递的路线, 你将为这一事件进行报道, 以下是报道的内容。 [写作内容]

The 70-day torch relay will be carried in a steamboat across Lake Windermere, on a rowboat on the Thames, and on horseback elsewhere. According to the Committee, most of the 8, 000 torchbearers will be ordinary members of the public, but it’s likely that famous sports stars like David Beckham will also run with the torch.
