范文(追星)

Living in anage when modern people have never attached more importance to entertainment,many teenagers are so keen on star chasing that they may imitate their idols'way of thinking and style of dressing. What's more, they may also spare noefforts to meet their idols in person, even at great expenses.

It's not abig deal if young generations choose pop stars as their idols. The question isthat some youngsters have already lost their mind when facing those idols. Toavoid this, we need

to takeseveral effective measures urgently. On the one hand, guidance from adultsshould never be absent during the whole process of growth of young people, whoshould be educated to develop their own values and not be a shadow of any otherpeople. On the other hand, pop stars or influentials should consciously act aspositive role models and lead their followers to express affection in a morerational way.

?

Besidesidolatry, I believe there must be much more meaningful spiritual power that canmake youngsters rejuvenated and refreshed, such as the insight of great men inhistory or the wisdom of a certain imaginary character in a great fiction.

范文（虚假信息）

Living in an age of internet, young generations tend to acquire assorted information about the world totally via virtual environment. Convenient as it may seem, the reliability of online information sources can not be guaranteed. Under this circumstance, they might be deliberately misled, to a large extent, by some fake news stories.

To avoid youngsters' being misguided by those irresponsible mass media, we need to take several effective measures urgently. To begin with, authorities concerned should enhance their supervision of the information published on the internet. Moreover, parents should encourage their children to develop independent thinking and often discuss with them the issues on the internet to make sure they are growing in a healthy mind state. Last but not least, young people themselves should read more insightful books and learn to think more of the values and attitudes behind online, stories. It's important that the young possess the capability of telling real news stories from fake ones. Only when they're equipped with the quality of recognizing false stories in an era of infor- mation explosion can they be closer to the genuineness of our modern world.

题目：Proposal to Organize a Speech Contest

参考范文（沪江网校版）：
Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm 名字, a second-year student from Business Department. I'm writing to make a proposal about holding a college-wide English public speaking contest with the topic of "University as I see it".

The aims of the contest are twofold. First, students all over the University are offered an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to communicate effectively in English. Second, the contest could serve as a forum for students from different background to share their insights and experiences. It is important to note that only a current undergraduate student is eligible for the contest. Each of the contestants would be asked to deliver a prepared speech of 5 minutes and an impromptu speech based on the topic assigned after the prepared speech. The contest would be an off-line event at the International Conference Hall on 日期. A panel from the ESL faculty shall select five finalists from all participants. The finalists would present their speeches after which three winners (and two honorable mentions) would be chosen.?

I'm looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much for everything you've done. Wish you all the best.

In the school lecture, we will introduce the school background, professional training objectives and how to select courses, so as to help students quickly embark on their learning journey. At the student activity, there will be some interesting games to help freshmen get to know each other quickly and make contacts. The last part is a campus tour, where students will visit the school's teaching building, library, restaurant, and so on, so as to help them to quickly adjust to campus life.

题目：Report on Used Books Collecting on Campus

参考范文（沪江网校版）：

I have just participated in a school project of collecting used books on campus which I find really rewarding. Here are some details of the project.
The aim of the project is to donate books to a primary school in a small village outside the town. Meanwhile, it's also aimed to protect the environment by recycling old books. Both the students and the teachers on campus participated in the project. What's more, some of the graduates also came back and gave away their books. All the books collected were to enlarge the collection of the primary school's library. There were two activities in this project, book donation and charity bazaar of old books. Both achieved great success in collecting used books.
We are very happy to report that, by now, about 1,500 books have been collected and the number is still growing. I hope more and more activities of this kind will be held on campus in the following days.

参考译文（沪江网校版）：
Karez is a water conservancy system in the arid area of Xinjiang. It is formed by underground channels connecting wells. The system collects a large amount of rainwater and snow melt water that seep into the ground in spring and summer, and draws it to the ground through the natural slope of the mountain to irrigate farmland and meet people's daily water needs. Karez reduces the evaporation of water on the ground and does little damage to the surface, thus effectively protecting the natural resources and the ecological environment. Kanerjing embodies the wisdom of the harmonious coexistence of our people and nature, and is a great contribution to human civilization.

Why it matters that teens are reading less?
