Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie from your perspective. Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question: Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours? Sample Essay for Task 1: We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees. Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that he 6 / 28 could still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills. Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words) Sample Essay for Task 2: Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours? I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “its the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a days work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment. Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and whats more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society.(268 words) Unit Two Love Enhance Your Language Awareness Words in Action Working with Words and Expressions In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girl students. Write a passage on the topic “What do girl students look for in love and life?” Sample Essay One: Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships. 13 / 28 My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take. In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships. (196 words) Sample Essay Two: What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life? In order to know about girl students opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? Whats the most important thing for a happy life? As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life. Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.
