BII.Dear Editor,We are students of No.1 Middle School. Last week we visited a paper factory. The paper factory is close to a lake which gives us drinking water. But we found that the factory poured waste water directly into the lake. Now the water in it is very dirty. Lots of fish have died. A few farmers living near the lake told us that some of their sheep and cows had become ill and some had already died since they drank the water from the lake. So we are writing you this letter to see if you can do something about this. We think the pollution must be stopped right now. Thank you! Yours sincerely, Li Liang & Wang ZhenKey:1. visited2. gives3. poured4. is5. have died6. had become7. had already died8. are writing9. do10. stoppedIII.Laura: Hello.

TOEFL does not measure how well you speak English, however. Test of Spoken English (TSE) does. It is a 20-minute test that involves speaking English. Many American universities advise you to take this test if you plan to attend graduate school. Some also tell you to take yet another test, Test of Written English (TWE). It is a 30-minute test in which you are asked to write in English about something. The test measures your ability to organize information and to express ideas in correct English.
