第四部分   书面表达

情景作文   One possible version:

    Nowadays it’s a common phenomenon that parents drive their children to school and back

home, which causes a heated discussion.  A survey has just been conducted about it, and the

findings are as follows.

    We can see that half of the supporters believe that more valuable time can be saved for students

to get enough sleep. Another 30% think children can rest or have meals comfortably in their own

cars. About 15% consider it reasonable just for the sake of children’s safety. The rest of them think

it offers more chances for parents to communicate with their children.

    However, there are still many people who hold different opinions. 55% of them believe that it

results in more traffic jams, especially around schools in rush hours. And 30% think that driving

kids to and from school will undoubtedly add to the parents’ burdens in aspects like time, energy

and expenses. Still, 15% worry that in the long term children may be more dependent on their

parents, which does no good to them.

开放作文  One possible version:

    In the picture we can see two kids looking at the sun shining far away behind the mountains, to

which a winding path leads. Obviously they are expecting a promising future, but there is a long way

to go and they will meet with some difficulties and challenges on their way to their dreams. The key

to success is great determination and a strong will. Like the two kids, we are faced with difficulties

and challenges every day. It is only when we make up our minds and work heart and soul that we

will live our lives to the fullest and reach our goals at last.

W: Yeah. The Pink Flamingo serves excellent Italian food.

M: Where’s that?

W: Well, starting from the movie theater, go south on Pine Street, cross 2nd Street, and drive to

   3rd Street. You’ll see a parking lot on the left side of the street.

M: A parking lot on the left. Yes.

W: Then turn left on 3rd Street and drive east. The Pink Flamingo is the building just before the

   river on the left side. Don’t cross the river.

M: Great. Thanks a lot.

Text 11

    Well, for those who are out today, I have to tell you it is hot and wet for most of the state, with

the high temperatures in the low to mid 90’s. The city of Elkview has a high for the day of 97

degrees. I’m glad I’m working indoors today!

    For those of you planning outdoor activities tomorrow, you can expect a nice day for most of

Saturday with temperatures in the high 90’s. However, things might change by Saturday evening

with a storm moving in. We can expect light showers over the northern part of the state bringing

slightly cooler temperatures in the 80’s, but this rain should die away by mid Sunday morning. It

will be partly cloudy for most of the morning, but these clouds should move out by mid-afternoon.

    Skies should be clear on Sunday evening for those who want to watch the meteor shower, which

is pieces of rocks and metals travelling through space and falling down toward the earth. It should

start at 10:47 pm. And that’s all for today’s weather report.
