Sincerely yours, Zhou FangA Letter of Complaint（投诉信）Dear Sir:I am writing to complain about one of your bus drivers,who was so rude to the passengers.Yesterday,I was taking the bus No.133 to school.It was about 9:30 in the morning.It was not the rush-hour and there were not many passengers on the bus.But the driver drove so fast and he didnt slow down even when the bus turned round street corners.One of the passengers asked him to drive slowly but he did not listen.When the bus reached the next stop,a man stood up and walked toward the door.The driver stopped the bus so suddenly that the man could not keep his balance and fell on the floor.The driver didnt make an apology and asked him to get off the bus right away.I think that public bus system should serve the public whole-heartedly.The safety of passengers should be the major concern.It is my sincere hope that proper measures ought to be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again. Yours sincerely Liu YuanA Reply to a Bitthday Party（对参加生日聚会邀请的回复）Dear Henry, Happy birthday to you!

Sincerely yours, JaneA Thirsty World(干渴的世界)The world is not only hungry,it is also thirsty for water.This may seem strange to you since nearly 75 percent of the earths surface is covered with water.but about 97 percent of this huge amount is seawater,or salt water.Man can only drink and use the other percentthe fresh water that comes from rivers,lakes,underground and other sources.But unforunately,some of it has been polluted and is unfit for drinking.However,this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.But our need for water is increasing rapidlyalmost day by day.Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on.So we all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water.One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing water.Today in most large cities water is used only once and then discharged.But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying plant,and then it can be used again.Another way out is to turn to the oceans.That is certainly a possible solution.All wed have to do is to remove the salt.This process is already in use in many parts of the world.Career Hopping（跳槽）Today,growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them.Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation.Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages.It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four.Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines.Motives for changing careers vary widely,but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine.For some,a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing,and they decide to do what they enjoy.Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts.EducationPreparation for Society（教育为走上社会做准备）Education is not an end,but a means to an end.In other words,we do not educate children for the purpose of educating them;our purpose is not fit them for life.Because of the development in modern education,many people avail of the opportunities to receive college education.But there are not enough positions for people with university degrees.Besides,some graduates refuse to do what they think “low” jobwork with hands is thought to be indecent.In fact,when we say that all of us must be educated,it means that we must be educated in such a way that,firstly,each of us should do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability,and secondly,that we must realize that all jobs are necessary to society.Electricity and Our Life（电力与我们的生活）Since its invention,electricity has found wide applications in industry,agriculture and scientific research.It is so essential to our daily life that,without electricity,we could not cook food,wash clothes and watch TV.Roughly,there are three ways to save electricity.First,we should produce electricity-saving home appliances.Second,remember to turn off the light when you leave a room.Lastly,we should change our way of life.Avoid as much as possible the “artificial life” powered by electricity.How to Behave in an Interview（如何应付面试）In order to make a good impression during a job interview,you need to prepare yourself for it.You must arrive in plenty of time for the interview,so that you give yourself a little time to relax before the interview beings.The impression you make as you walk into the room is very improtant.Try to find out if the company or organization has rules about dress,Then try to dress according to their regulations. You also need to plan what you are going to say. In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking, and in others you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience.You need to have answers ready about yourself,your schoolwork,your strong points,your reasons for applying for the job,and the salary you expect.You will also be allowed to ask some questions.The questions you ask will show the interviewer that you have given careful thought to the position.You can ask questions like these:What duties will I have to do in the job?Does the company provide health insurance?Does the company provide opportunities for further education?How to Cope with Stress?(如何减轻压力)It is often believed that only rich middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress.In fact anyone may become ill as a result of stress if they experience a lot of worry over a long period and their health is not especially good.Stress can be a friend or an enemy:it can warn you that you are under too much pressure and should change your way of life.It can kill you if you dont notice the warning aignals.As with ail illnesses,prevention is better than cure.If you find you cant relax,it is a sign of danger.When youre taking work home,when you cant enjoy evening with friends,when you havent time for outdoor exercisethat is the time to stop and ask yourself whether your present life really suits you.Then its time to join a relaxation class,or take up dancing,painting or gardening.Living in a citya Crazy Idea（住在城市疯狂的念头）Tired of the city life,some citydwellers opt for city suburbs as their residence.They are flocking there to avoid peoplein the city,wherever you look,its people,people,people.Its not strange for them complain about the living conditions in the city.It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads has virtually come to a standstill.The subways which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed:an endless procession of human sardine tins.All the simple,good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium.Tall buildings bolt out the sun.The flow of traffic goes on continuously and the noise never stops.Decades of years ago,people were crazy about crowding into the city.Now more and more people believe that only a madman would choose to live in a large modern city.Making a Phone Call or Writing a Letter（打电话还是写信）When there is a need to communicate with people,we either make a phone call or write a letter.Some people like making a phone call while others prefer writing a letter.The advantage of phoning is evident.It is handy and fast.We can contact whomever we want to and talk with him right away.By making phone calls,people can discuss things as if they were in the same room.However,there are still some people who prefer to write letters.There is no doubt that letters are less expensive than long-distance calls.Besides it is a better choice for those who are not good at expressing themselves orally.However,it takes days,even weeks for a letter to reach its destination.Both making a phone call and writing a letter are effective means of communication.It seems advisable to make use of them both on different occassions.My Favorite Mode of Travel（我喜欢的旅行方式）With the improvement of peoples living standards,more and more people are making a holiday trip to places of interest.while many like to join package tours for conveniencesake,I prefer to travel by myself.I like traveling on my own not only because it costs less but because it gives me freedom.Traveling on my qwn,Im my own boss and can decide when to start or where to linger I can adjust my own plan.By contrast,in a package tour youre deprived of such freedom as you are supposed to follow the agenda of the tour team.True,you may encounter inconveniences if you travel alone;getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals might give you headaches.But nothing can be compared with freedom-the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip to be free from constrains of the routine life.My View on E-mail（我对电子邮件的看法）Electronic mail,or E-mail for short,is a new way of communication by means of computers.Fast,cheap and convenient,E-mail

time limitations in communication.With the rapidly growing popularity of computers and the expansion of information highway,E-mail is expected to play a more and more important role in our lives.Online Chatting(网上聊天)Online chatting as a new way of communication is becoming more and more popular,especially with you youngsters.Chatting online,people can make friends,exchange information and air their views.They tend to regard it as a means of relaxation,for they think its easier to talk with a stranger online.And some students practice their oral English by chatting in English.Some people,however,hold different views.They think its a waste of time,especially for students.Spending too much time chatting online will make them addicted to it and afficted to it and affect their studies.Furthermore,unhealthy information may corruot young Internet users.As a coin has two sides,online chatting has both advantages and disadvantages.We are not supposed to steer away from it because of its negative effects.What we should do is to reduce the negative effects to the minimum and make online chatting as beneficial as possible to our life and atudies.Should College Students Do Part-time Jobs?（大学生应当做业余兼职吗？）Most students think that doing part-time jobs when studying at college can provide them with an opportunity to get in touch with the society.Also,some students do part-time jobs to support themselves.They are said to work through college.However,its not easy to find jobs which are suitable for students.Some jobs requiring long hours of tedious work under tough conditions may do harm to their health.Besides,some jobs may expose them to the negative aspects of societydishonesty and corruption.Therefore,students should take a second thought in deciding whether they should do part-time jobs or what kind of jobs they should choose.If they are luckly enough to take a good job,it will benefit them enormously.Otherwise,it may waste their time and their energy._Sport and Sportsmen(体育与运动员)The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games.This is the usual meaning of the word today.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football,basketball,tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to.A few people are paid for only a few years,but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.For example,a professional footballer in England earns more than 150000 pounds a year.The stars earn a lot more.Internation golf and tennis champions can make more than 500000 pounds in a year.Of course,only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.It is only possible in sports for individuals,like golf,tennis and motor racing.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this:the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport.Supermarkets（超市）People all over the world shop in supermarkets.When you enter supermarkets,you will see shelves loaded with goods.you will hear soft,light music as you walk along the aisles.Food in supermarkets seem to be very attractive.A large supermarket is a big business.In addition to food items,many other goods such as house wares,school supplies,toys,clothing,magazines and even books are sold in supermarkets.It is a place where housewives frequent.It tries to meet her needs so that when she leaves,shell shop nowhere else.Supermarkets are becoming more and more popular.There is no doubt about itmore and more housewives around the world will soon be standing in the check-in line.The Pleasures and Pains of Childhood(童年的快乐和痛苦)Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.If achild has good parents,he is fed,looked after and loved,whatever he may do.It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in plaything in the rain,or in the snow.His first visit to the seaside is a marvellous adventure. But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told not to do things,or being punished for what he has done wrong.His life is continually being told not to do thongs,or being punished for what he has done wrong.His life is therefore not perfectly happy.The Purpose of School(学校教育的目的)We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves.They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know,and understand what others tell them.They learn foreign languages in order to be able to benefit from what people in other countries
