Dear Jane,

As to the English-language newspaper you are thinking of subscribing to, Iwould recommend 21st Century.

First, I think that the contents of the newspaper are interesting andentertaining enough for you to carry on reading, for they consist mainly ofbuzz, opinion, focus, culture, campus, career and hotshots. In addition, thelanguage of its articles is not too difficult for you to understand, as itstargeted audience is largely college students, non-English majors inparticular.

I believe it will be more beneficial if you can read the newspaper everyday, and your English will definitely be improved. Wish you good luck!

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

The animated cartoon reminds its audience about the significance of theEarth hour. On the lastSaturday of March, it is advisable that lights should beturned off for an hour with a view to protecting the Earth. It seems that theEarth would feel better with all lights off.

The implied meaning of the drawing is that waste and extravagance are notdifficult to find wherever we go. We can often encounter a scene where papers,bottles and cans are thrown away after use. Food is wasted just because of poortaste, and clothes are discarded simply due to their old fashion. Not only do wesquander things and money, but also we lose our environmental awareness.

It is high time to call for an end to the unpleasant situation. First andforemost, education to build up thrift habits should be prompted by relevantgovernment departments at different levels.

模版范文

In the past five years, there have been great changes in people’s dailyexpenses in XX city. According to the figures given in the table, the amount ofmoney spent on food decreased gradually, accounting for 35 percent in 2014. Inaddition, the table shows an upward tendency in recreation expenses. The samewas the case with other expenses.

What caused these remarkable changes? In my opinion, there are at leastthree good reasons. To begin with, with the rapid development of agriculture inChina, the output of grain, fruit, vegetables and milk has sharply increased,which contributesto the decline in their prices. Secondly, the family incomes ofpeople both in the city and in the countryside have greatly risen so that peoplenow can afford expensive clothing and some of them even want to dress in thelatest fashion. Finally, as the living condition improves, the demand for avariety of recreation is growing steadily, too.

In short, with the incomes rising continuously, people no longer reconciledthemselves to living a simple, monotonous life. They are eager to make theirlife interesting and exciting. Therefore, I am sure that people will spend moremoney on clothing and recreation.
