大学第一册大学第一册 unit1 Why I like to learn English Why I hate to learn English Keys Why I like to learn English I have learned English for about seven years I should say that I am highly motivated to master English First of all learning English is 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 118 words 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 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 121 words 大学第一册大学第一册 unit2 1 I was very unhappy with my mother father the other day 2 I was grateful that my mother father criticised me the other day Keys 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 that I didn t hear him He stepped into my room apparently in anger grabbed 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 out and went off to play games with my friends in the neighbourhood When it was turning dark I saw my father looking around for me He patted me on the head and walked back home with me his arm wrapped around my shoulder When I got home I saw my book had returned to my reading table 130 words 2 I was grateful that my mother criticised me the 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 threatening to 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 criticised me really hard She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour 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 mistakes 139 words 大学第一册大学第一册 unit3 a Describe a few of your own personality traits Then identify your favourite colour and see if the descriptions of the colour in Text B match your personality b 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 trait c 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 d Write about a person whom you dislike most and give one or two reasons or examples why you dislike him or her so much Keys a I have been described by many friends as a warm sociable and outgoing extravert I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company 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 many things and like doing many things at the same time So it seems there is some truth after all in what colours say about a person s personality 141words b The person I admire most is my father s youngest 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 Since young he has done well in his studies and work For example he received a prestigious scholarship 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 What I like most about ba shu is his sensitive nature especially toward children who are born unlucky He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to help those in poor and developing countries His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot 131 words c 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 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 themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world Bill Gates 131 words d Here is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate aggressiveness 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 neighbour who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next His wife lived in 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 143 words 大学第一册大学第一册 unit4 My GG that s my great grandma lived in Maine many years ago Keys

it all started and what happened in the end Task Two 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 Keys Task One One afternoon I was wandering along 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 theft because they were poor The thought that my mother could be one of them drove me crazy I was determined to find out the truth from 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 136 words Task Two 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 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 would trigger such an emotional response from my father 134 words 大学第一册大学第一册 unit6 a I like Christmas because b I dislike Christmas because Keys a I like Christmas because the festive atmosphere created by the occasion is so overwhelming 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 out candies to kids The atmosphere does lift everybody s spirits since joy and excitement seem to be contagious 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 113words b I do not 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 decorations I do not see genuine care or 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 121 words 大学第一册大学第一册 unit7 a In your own words write down your experience or story similar to any one of the five stories in Text B b How I get along with my fellow students c How I get along with my family Keys a One of my teachers in my high school was an Australian teacher Always smartly dressed with a shirt and tie he was a very kind person and would go all the way to help others Once I needed a book to study which was not available in China so I asked him for help He bought it in Australia and sent it to me immediately I also learned another incident which I can never forget One year he came back to China on a business trip and was asked by many Chinese parents to take some luggage to their children studying in Australia The luggage he was asked to take was so heavy that he got fined 20 000 Hong Kong dollars at the airport From this Australian teacher I have come to realize what selfless love is all about 141words b I think I am an easy going person and get along with my fellow students really well I get along particularly well with my roommates who share the same dormitory with me We often play poker together and laugh and joke together Once in a while we need to clean up our dormitory in order to win the award for the cleanest dormitory in the whole grade Whenever we need to do that we really work as a team and help one another in doing the best job we can Though we still haven t won such an award yet the kind of collaboration between us during the big cleaning activity really helps to strengthen our existing strong friendship I am sure I will cherish my relationship with my fellow students and especially with my roommates in the years to come 139 words c I live in a big family of three children with one elder brother and one younger sister I get along well with them all and in particular with my elder brother During our childhood years my brother and I needed to do a lot of household chores together looking after the cattle on the hill and collecting firewood in bushy mountains far away from home Though only four years older than me he would always try to protect me and help me when I was unable to cope with my part of the work Sometimes we also fought with each other But every time I cried after the fighting my parents would scold him or even give him a good beating for which I would laugh silently and secretly Of course we never fight with each other any more 139 words 大学第二册大学第二册 unit1 Write an essay of about 150 words about a memorable experience in which forgiveness or a smile worked to clear up misunderstanding or improved the relationship between you and someone else 2 Write an essay of about 150 words about human relationships in our society The following hints might serve as a guide a The problems existing in the relationships between people in our society b The negative results such problems may bring about to our society c What you can do to establish a harmonious society as a student Keys 1 In my middle school years I had a best friend We talked about everything And we loved singing songs together Once however there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship but neither had the courage to break the ice It went on like this for months Then one day we were asked to write about friendship I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us It was given the top mark and I was asked to read it in class When I ended my presentation with the words from our favourite song my friend was singing along All misunderstanding was cleared and once again we were best friends To break down the walls between people is easy all it takes is a little forgiveness 150 words 2 We are living in a world of distrust We live behind cold security bars we do not talk to strangers let alone go out of our way to help them we live in fear of fake products In short fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in All this greatly harms our society Growing up in such an environment we tend to feel isolated and care about ourselves only If things go on like this trust teamwork and harmony will eventually become terms unheard of In my opinion trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships We may not be in a position to change others but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society 151 words 大学第二册大学第二册 unit3 Write a narrative essay of about 150 words about your pursuit of a dream or someone s experiences in making his her dream come true 2 People may have different opinions about the key factors for success Write a short essay of about 150 words and share your opinions with your classmates Keys 1 Li Hui my friend in high school was born into a worker s family She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood To her disappointment her parents strongly opposed her career choice because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist However Li Hui would not change her mind She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream Just before she finished high school the chance came a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers She readily participated and won the second place She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true 156 words 2 In my opinion before a person becomes successful he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success competence determination and optimism For a person to succeed he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career The person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems Without competence the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success Often enough things do not go the way we have planned and failure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be In such cases one needs to remain firm and optimistic always believing that hard work will eventually pay off If the person gives up halfway success will never knock at the door 149 words 大学第二册大学第二册 unit4 Having read the two passages in this unit you may have come to a better
