新世纪大学英语写作练习题参考答案(1-6单元)

Unit I

Write a passage in about 120 words, taking either of the following titles:

1) why I like to learn English

2) why I hate to learn English

Sample Essay

1) Why I Like to Learn English

I have learned English for about seven years. I should say that I am highly motivated to (非常有动力去)master English. First of all, learning English us useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English. If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot, a good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world. Finally, I like literature a lot. If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions（翻译版）. So I think I will work ever harder to learn English well.

2) Why I hate to learn English

I have learned English for about seven years. I should say the more I learn

English, the more I hate it. First of all, learning English is boring. I have to memorize （记住）many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words. Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time.

Secondly, I don’t understand why we have to learn a foreign language. I don’t want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn’t need English in China. Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read. So if I don’t have to learn English. I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.

Unit 2

In about 100-120 words, write about a conflict you once had with your parents. You can start with either of the following opening.

1) I was very unhappy with my mother/father the other day…..

2) I was grateful (感激的) that my mother/father criticize me the

other day……

Sample writing:

1） I was very unhappy with my father the other day.He must have called out to me for help with some housework, but I was so

absorbed in reading（沉迷于,专注于、、、）that I didn’t

hear him. He stepped into my room, apparently in anger,

grabbed(抓起) my book and threw it on the floor. I got upset and

insisted that he should pick it up and apologize to me. When he

remained silent, I ran our and went off to play games with my

friends in the neighborhood（家庭所在的街区）. When it was

turning dark, I saw my father looking around for me, he patted me

on the head and walked back home with e, his arm wrapped

around my shoulder. When I got home, I saw my book had

“returned” to my reading table.

2） I was grateful that my mother criticized me that other day. I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my

friends have-a new pair of shoes or some new clothes. Every time

I was refused, I played the same trick(玩同样的把戏)—

threatening to（威胁） pour the dish she cooked for the family

into the river. My mother gave in each time I threatened to do

that, but one day, she criticized me really hard. She scolded me

for being selfish (批评我自私自利)and inconsiderate （不会体

谅他人）and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on （反思）

my own behavior. I couldn’t believe my mother would be so

angry with me and I grew afraid, I learned a good lesson and

changed a lot afterwards. I was thankful that my mother made me

realize my mistake.

Unit 3

1) Describes a few of your own personality traits, then identify

your favorite color and see if the descriptions of the color in

ext B match your personality or not?

Sample essay:

I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and

outgoing extravert外向型的）. I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company（陪伴）of people who share similar characteristics as I. When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me. I am not a great beauty,

neither am I rich and intelligent. In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot. Maybe being happy is the attraction, I like bright colours, especially red. It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy. I agree that I am enthusiastic about(对、、、很热衷)many things and like doing many things at he same time. So it seem there is some truth after all in what color says about a person’s personality

2) Think of the person you admire most, Write two personality

traits that you like most about this person. Remember to give an example for each personality traits.

Sample Essay

The person I admire most is my father’s younger brother. He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven. He is a high achiever(志存高远). Since young, he has done well in his studies and work. For example, he received a prestigious（优等的）scholarship （奖学金）to study at a well-known medical school in England. Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding. He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards（获得奖励）. What I like most about ba shu Iis his sensitive nature, especially towards children who are born unlucky. He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to（为、、、、作出牺牲） help those in poor and developing countries. His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.

3） Imagine that you had been given a wish to change your life.

Write about two personality traits that you would like to have and give your reasons.

Sample Essay

If I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person. I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with (对、、、满意)what they have.

They seldom let sadness be a part of their life. I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy. I also would like to be creative. I think that creativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative. However, no

matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of

creativity who will make a great name for(成就名声) themselves

like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill

Gates.

4） Write about a person whom you dislike most and give one or two reasons or example why you dislike him or her so much.

Sample Essay

There is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate(忍受): aggressiveness(

有攻击性的，很强势的)and selfishness. Aggressive people do

not consider others’ feelings and will not think twice about hurting

even those closest to them. I once had a neighbor who would beat

his wife one day and appear loving the next. His wife lived I fear

constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her,

another personality trait I dislike is selfishness. Like aggressive

people, selfish people only think of themselves. There are many

everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend

things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with

their best friends. If you know someone with a combination of

aggressiveness and selfishness you should consider whether to call

him or her a friend.

Unit 4 Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic:living in a Nursing Home : A Plan for the Future?”.

Sample Essay:

Thanks to medical advances(医疗进步)and better living conditions, most of us can live longer. The issue of where we will stay when we get to old has become a concern for（成为大家关心的问题） everyone. I did a survey last week on “ Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?”. Of the ten people surveyed, seven said”yes”. According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of. The three who don’t want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded (侵犯)upon on the other. Nonetheless, the survey does suggest

that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.

Unit5

1) In about 100-120 words, write about an incident of

misunderstanding between you and your mother/father. Tell

us about how it all started and what happened in the end.

Sample essay

One afternoon, I was wandering along（闲逛）the main street of our small town with a friend. Suddenly I saw my mother. She was behaving very strangely. She looked around before going quickly into a shop. When she came out, she had a box in her hand. I was terrified; I knew some of my villagers resorted to（求助于）theft because they were poor. The thought that my mother could be one of them drove me crazy. I was determined to (决心去) find out the truth form her. When I questioned her, tears filled her eyes. She told me she was collecting beer cans from some kind shop owners who offered them to her, but would feel embarrassed if she was seen by others. I cried and hugged her and felt sorry that I had misunderstood my own mother.

3) In about 100-120 words, describe the similarities and differences in

the way your father and mother show their love for you. Be sure to give examples.

Sample Essay

My parents differ greatly in showing their love for me. while my mother appears more anxious and depressed if anything goes wrong with me, my father tends to be silent and expresses his concern for me mainly through actions rather than words. I still remember the day when I left home for university. When my mother was in tears and kept giving me endless advice, my father remained silent. But when he saw an ice-cream man on the platform(月台), he rushed towards him and got me an ice-cream just before the train started to move. I learned from my mother later that father locked himself up in his room after returning home and cried for the first time in his life. I never expected that my departure（离开）would trigger（引起） such an emotional response from my father.

Unit6

Sample Essay

1）I like Christmas because the festive atmosphere （节日气氛）created by the occasion is so overwhelming（铺天盖地）. You can see pretty seasonal decorations everywhere, Christmas lights, flowers, and pictures of Father Christmas with a smiling face. You may even meet a “real” Father Christmas on the street busy handing our candies to kids.

The atmosphere does lift everybody’s spirits, since joy and excitement seem to be contagious（有感染力的）; everyone around us looks happier and is more patient with each other during the festive season. We send each other Christmas greetings and give Christmas gifts to our friends and relatives. Even friends who have not been in constant touch also” appear” again at this time to send their regards.

2）I don’t like Christmas because today’s Christmas has been entirely commercialized. Shops try all sorts of tricks to attract customers, by putting up fanciful Christmas decorations, by offering seasonal discounts and even by asking somebody to play Father Christmas to give out gifts. Behind all the smiles and the beautiful decoration, I do not care of a spirit of giving. I only see one word, which is “profit”. Everybody does Christmas shopping at this time to get Christmas gifts for their family members or friends. As for me, I believe it is more important to show care and concern for my family members and friends all year round than just give them a “once a year’ Christmas gift.

Then grasp your chance with your perfect performance o n the dating night, by learning the following principle in heart. Dress properly. While everyone wants to give an impressive debut on the first date, you should avoid wearing something too bizarre to be accepted. If you are st ill in school, a sportswear can fulfill your purpose. For businessman or grownups, c asual clothes are recommended. Never put up your working uniforms,no matter ho w well you like that Armani suit. It is no work. A few accessories such as a pair o f sunglasses or silver loops on the wrist can add up to the romance sphere. Take a bath before dating. And if you like, spray a little perfume, but unless y ou＇re sure that he or she likes the smell,don＇t use ones that are too strong. Watch your manner. You＇re no prince of the Scotland nor Cinderella in the le gend. Proper manners will ensure a lasting relationship while bad ones scare away your sweetheart. And do make sure you do not boast about your fortune, for, not everyone are green addicts. And your way of smiling, or your greatestoath, should neither be "coy" nor "by St. Loy!" after the nun in Chaucer. Be a little sensitive than merely innocent. Do make sure you do not intrude hi s or her privacy on the first date. For there maybe something deeply concealed wit hin the inner core of every heart, of which the owner doesn＇t share often with an yone but his intimacy. Finally, wish you good luck. May you get your hearts combined and start a ne w journey in the miracle of life and love.

Many times, the obligations are actually fun and fulfilling, and we want to be there. At the same time, we all sometimes experience resistance to meeting these obligations, especially when they pile up all at once and we begin to feel exhausted, longing for nothing so much as a quiet evening at home. At times like these, we may want to say no but feel too guilty at the idea of not being there. Still, our primary obligation is to take care of ourselves, and if saying no to someone else is what we have to do, then we do not need to feel bad about it. There is a skill to balancing our obligations, and it starts with simply becoming aware of our schedule. We may notice that three invitations have arisen in one weekend, and we know that we will pay energetically if we attempt to fulfill all three. At this point, we can take the time to weigh the repercussions of not going to each event, considering how we will feel if we miss it and how our absence might affect other people. Most of the time, it will be clear which obligation we can most easily let go and which one we simply can’t miss. Sometimes we have to miss something really important to us, and that can be painful for everyone concerned. At times like this, reaching out with a phone call, a thoughtful card, or a gift lets people know that you are there in spirit and that your absence is by no means a result of you not caring. Meeting our obligations to others is an important part of being human and not one to take lightly. At the same time, we cannot meet every obligation without neglecting our primary duty to take care of ourselves. We can navigate this quandary by being conscious of what we choose to do and not do and by finding concrete ways to extend our caring when we are not able to be there in person.YouTheme Recreational Activities In the era of information and technology, there are all kinds of recreational activities. Some people think those recreational activities are great and necessary, because they can help people relax from the hard work and study. Some of the activities, such as hiking, jogging, can help people relax physically; while some of them, such as surfing the Internet, can help people relax mentally. However, some people think that so many kinds of recreational activities may have a bad effect on our lives. Some people may not resist some temptations from those activities, and indulge themselves in those activities. At last they are lured away from their study or their work. In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities and make the most of them. Meanwhile, we should learn how to use those activities positively, and make them a helpful tool for our development. Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic The Internet. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline

Proverb Commenting Argumentation 1. 文章的要求：On Students' Evalation of Teachers A:近年来，很多大学把学生对教师的评价纳入评估体系。B：就其利弊而言，人们之间存在争议。C: 你的看法。 On Students' Evaluation of Teachers With the reformation and development of higher education, many universities have gradually shifted their management from the traditional system of academic year to the system of credit, and from teacher-centered to student -centered teaching. As a result,teachers are now managed on the basis of students' evaluation, which has aroused heated disputes. Many people agree that students' opinion and appraisals are crucial to both the teaching process and the teacher-student relationship. For one thing, the teacher may reflect on his teaching, and then change accordingly.For another, mutual undersatnding is enhanced. However, many experts worry that some of the judgements are rather subjective, and even strongly biased. To make things worse, some students take it as a game--" anyway, my ideas do not count at all". Consequently, nobody will benefit from the valueless feedback. As far as I am concerned, students' views should be taken into consideration, but the views should not be taken as decisive factors when it comes to evaluating a teacher. The improvement of the mechanism requires the change of notion about teaching. We used to relate the evaluation to the employment of a teacher, but if we take advantage of the evaluation as a guide,it might be another story. Marriage upon Graduation 1. 越来越多的大学生一毕业就进入婚姻的殿堂。 2.产生这种现象的原因。 3. 我的看法。 A growing number of college students get married almost at the very moment of their graduation. As for this issue, we cannot help wondering what account for this trend. To begin with, there is no denying that the intensive employment competition is a major factor for this phenomenon. Getting married means the couple can support each other in the harsh environment and equally new couples can get the financial assistance from both families. Furthermore, compared to some instant marriages relying on web love or money worship, marriages upon graduation make a more romantic and reliable choice.
