But at the same time, people doubt if they are playing a positive role. Lets take the most common advertisements for example. Each day we see three to four or even six to seven commercials promoting VCD on TV. Each commercial tries to tell people that their product is the best in the market. But we can see that it is not true, because there can only be one best. If there are two which are said to be the best, none of them are the best. As a result, people get so confused that they do not know which to buy. On the other hand, the products are also too expensive for average people to afford. Now, people have lost the interest in purchasing and do not trust the media any more. In conclusion, advertisements should be realistic, sincere and effective. The present advertisements cannot meet the above requirements. It is high time that advertising professionals correct their guiding principles.2000年SECTION A COMPOSITION Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: College life should be varied and colourful.

Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academic studies. Others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. I think both ways have their advantages. But I prefer the latter.As students, we should concentrate our main efforts on academic studies. We have to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by working hard can we learn our courses well. However, I dont think we should spend every hour and minute on academic studies. As a proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Without good health and a strong body, how can we improve our study efficiency and make great achievements in our academic studies? Besides, spending the whole day on academic studies may make us exhausted and weak. We should find other meaningful things to do besides studying. For example, doing extracurricular activities can make students life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I play football with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After a days hard work, how nice it is to stretch my arms and legs! By playing football Ive got both joy and strength. I always look energetic. Actually doing extracurricular activities doesnt disturb our study if we make full use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.SECTION B NOTE-WRITING10 MIN.

And more and more of us have come to know the significance of travel through our own experience:，范文 Travel broadens the mindTravel can carry people to new places and offer one an opportunity to meet other people. Therefore, it is right to say that travel broadens ones mind.In the first place, travel enriches ones mind by helping one expose oneself to the real world. An individual can never enlarge ones mind by solely reading books or watching TV in the classroom or at home. Ones mastery of the knowledge can be consolidated and further extended by contacting the reality. Book knowledge is not one-sided unless it is combined with practice. In this sense travel makes it possible. Secondly, in traveling one is forced to do things by oneself, such as arranging transportation and accommodation, and taking care of oneself. Consequently, travel offers an opportunity to test and train ones ability, thus upgrading ones personal quality.In conclusion, travel is not a mere leisure activity; it should be part of ones efforts to pursue knowledge and self-realization. 2002年Part I Writing 45 minSection A Composition 35 minNowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health.

Write a note to comfort her and give her some encouragement.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.范文 1Letter Writing Will Not Be KilledAlong with the rapid development of digital technology, telephones are becoming everyones daily necessity. Some people are so impressed by the popularity of telephones that they go so far as to predict that phones will kill letter writing in the near future. Will that be possible? My answer is No. First, although telephone lines have reached the most remote areas in China, there are still villages or small towns where telephones are rare. Even with a cell phone, which does not rely on phone lines, one cannot guarantee it can communicate with others properly all the time. In those cases, people still depend on letter writing. Therefore, phones cannot replace letter writing completely. Secondly, letter writing will last because letter can convey something that one is reluctant to say in voice. There are cases in which one is shy or hard to express with ones tongue, for example, something embarrassing to say or words of taboo. There are also circumstances where in telephone communication the recipient refuses to answer the phone call, especially when the relation between the callers is delicate. In that case, a letter will break up the ice and get ones ideas across to the target person.In conclusion, telephone calls are not a cure-all solution. Letter writing will not be replaced by telephone and will last hand in hand with telephone in the future. 范文 2Letter Writing Will Not Be KilledNowadays, young people choose to phone each other rather than writing letters. But even so, I still maintain that letter writing will never be killed by phones, though we have stepped into the Information Age.First, letters can express your subtle feelings. With the increase of the living pace of modern society, we find that there is lack of communication now. Sometimes when you are speaking on the phone to someone you care and love, you are so shy that its too hard to express any of your feelings towards him/her. Your throat seems to be blocked! At this time, letters will help. Without any embarrassment, you can just write down your deep concern and love on a piece of paper. When you drop the letter into the pillar-box, you will feel what he/she will receive is not only a letter, but also your deepest love. Secondly, letters can be kept as a record of memory, while phones cannot. Just imagine, when you open an old box of letters and read them years later, a lot of beautiful and indelible memories will be brought back to you. What an irreplaceable feeling it is! And I believe, this feeling is something that you can definitely never experience through several phone calls.All in all, letter writing will absolutely survive and even thrive in the Information Age. Phones can never kill it, neither will anything.Note-writingDear Jane, May 9th, 2004Im sorry to hear that you didnt do very well in the final exam and I know you must be very unhappy about it. But please dont lose heart, since you have done your best. I think what you need is to sum up your mistakes and make good preparation for next time. I believe youll succeed.
