1、There are many ways of traveling, the most common ways being by train, by air, by bus or in a car.
　　Traveling by train is currently the most economical way, far cheaper than traveling by air. However, air travel is timesaving and therefore often the top choice for people traveling on business or traveling abroad. Traveling by bus is probably convenient mostly for short-distance trip. But with the development of expressways in China, and with more people having their own car, traveling by bus or in one’s own car would become fashionable and enjoyable in China.
　　For me, my favorite way of touring is traveling by train, because it saves money and gives us the delight of enjoying the scenery alongside our journey.
　　2、Today in China, with people’s living standard greatly enhanced, fatness has become a headache for more and more people.
　　Gaining too much weight does harm to our health. To fight against fat, many people turn to the numerous types of medicine, which all claim to have special effects, but do not actually lead to permanent weight loss. Others would choose to be on diet but only to find them forever hungry and have greater appetite. Still others would go to fatness center, making it a fashionable way of modern life.
　　Personally, I think inactivity is an important contributor to fatness and therefore exercise is the only healthy way to reduce appetite, taking off weight and keeping it off.
　　3、Some people work to live. For them the only reason for working is that they need money to keep themselves alive, to pay for their shelter, and to support their family.
　　However, there are also people who live to work. They work for the sake of success, position and control in society. For them, work is a way of life, a mental challenge, or an emotional involvement. Take some women for instance, they go out to work because it gives them a sense of independence away from the family.
　　As for me, to work is a fundamental human need and a means to an end. However, I work not just for money, because I also see it as a badge of fulfillment.
　　4、POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF SPORTS".
　　Sports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our bodies. There is no doubt that proper sports activities keep our physical fitness. Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playground he not only struggles for himself but also fights for his team. Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism to failure.
　　But sports can do some harm to those who cannot plan their activities properly. Too hard training may hurt their bodies, exhaust their vigor, and even cause them to become sick.
　　In general, I love sports. I enjoy sports. For sports not only help me to live a well-balanced life, but also provide me with opportunities to get closer to nature. Sports add happiness to my everyday life when I perform in a decent way.

　　1. 关于爱心 （01年真题）
　　Love is a lamp
　　[1.现象/现状说明段] Love is of utmost importance to us humans. Everybody not only needs love, but also should give others love. As can be seen from the picture, "love is a lamp which is brighter in darker places. " This is indeed true. People in darker places need more light than other people. Maybe even a dim light can give them much hope for a better life. Maybe just a thread of light will call forth their strength and courage to help them step out of their difficulties.
　　[7.举例段] I can think of no better illustration of this idea than the following example(s).For instance when someone is starving to death, just a little food and water from you may save his(her) life. Again, when a little girl in a poor rural area drops out of school because of poverty, just a small sum of money from you may support her to finish school and change her life. In these case/circumstances you have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed.
　　[8.归纳结论段] To sum up, we should offer our help to all the needed. We expect to get love from others and we also give love to others. So when you see someone in difficulty or in distress and in need of help, don't hesitate to give your love to him (her). I believe that the relationship between people will be harmonious and that our society will be a better place for us to live in.
　　2. 空气污染(隐形杀手)
　　[2.图画/图表描述段] Pollution is becoming more and more serious all over the world. As is shown in the cartoon, two cars are giving off waste gas and three people are trying to avoid breathing in the poisonous gas by masking their face with their hands. The poisonous gas sent off by factories, domestic appliances and automobiles has made the air unhealthy for people to breathe.
　　[5.意义阐述段] There is no denying that automobiles are indications of civilization, progress and development; nevertheless , automobiles cause the serious problem of air pollution. Scientists have warned that unless effective measures are taken, the problem of pollution will eventually get out of hand. Actually, people are showing a real concern over the problem. For example, there is an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm action against pollution from automobiles.
　　[10建议措施段]Indeed, the earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our descendants. In my opinion, we should work out concrete solutions to the problem of pollution from poisonous gas given off by automobiles. For example, the automobiles should be equipped with a device which can dispose of waste gas so as to prevent it from polluting air. Only in this way can we really solve the problem of air pollution caused by automobiles.
　　3. 沙漠化
　　[2.图画/图表描述段]As is shown in the picture, we can see clearly the relation ship between people and desert. In the left hand picture, people are fleeing from greedy sand hills because they cut down all the trees. The caption reads, ”As the sand advances, we retreat.” In the right hand picture, the people have returned carrying tools, water, and young trees to plant the land again. The caption reads: “As we advance, the sand retreats. ”
　　[5.意义阐述段]It seems to me that the cartoonist is sending a message about the importance of trees in water and soil conservation and the need for everyone to fight against the danger of the desertification. In fact, what he is saying is that the sand hills will drive away from the land if we do fight against the sand. If we let this situation continue as it is , our environment will suffer a great destruction.
　　[10.建议措施段]The best way to fight back against the greedy desert in made clear in the second picture. There the local people are actively setting about the task of planting trees to reclaim the land and make it fertile. The fact that there are three people in the picture, each with a different job suggests that working together is the key to success in the battle against soil erosion.
