你 ( Li Yuan)刚收到订购的一件商品，但是发现质量有问题，请你写一封投诉信，内容包括：

(1)商品名称、订购时间、地点和价格; (2)何时发现质量问题、何种质量问题； (3)你所希望的解决方式。 Manager

Customer Service Department

Dear Sir or Madam， Sincerely yours， Li Yuan 参考答案：

I am a customer who bought a Nokia 2600 type mobile phone for 2600 Yuan from your company on 2010-9-1. I am afraid I really must complain about the quality of this product.

After using the mobile phone for two days several problems have been found. First, the mobile phone could not send text massages any more. If I sent massages, it would suggest that there were some problems with the phone, which have made a lot of trouble to me. Second, the camera couldn’t work as well as before. As soon as I took pictures, there were no pictures kept in the picture files. This kind of

problem caused me a lot of troubles. I have gone to your company to explain the problem twice. But because of some reason, the problem has still not been solved.

I prefer to tell you directly in the hope that you will do something to solve my problem. I will be appreciative if you either make a refund or sent me a replacement.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am looking forward to hearing from you in the very near future.

Sincerely Yours, Li Yuan

Why Should We Learn English

Nowadays,with the development of economy,English has been playing an increasingly important role in our daily life.,it has become an international language in the world.Many countries in the world use English and more people are learning English.Many people who attend the international conference ,go abroad and do business with foreigners have to speak it fluently.

Besides,most of the valuable books,newspaper and magazines are printed and published in English.If we want to obtain more information and knowledge,we have to learn English well.English is certainly regarded as a tool of communication. However ,how can we learn English well?As we known,if we want to learn English well ,we need do a lot of works on memorizing words and grammar.So the most important key is “patience”.It is quite often for anyone to meet with trouble while learning English.In this case,to be patient is indeed very important,and also the only way for us to learning English well is to memorize new words,and read English articles patiently and carefully.

2.以 ‘’Failure and Success‘’为题写一篇短文，内容包括： （1）人生中遇到失败很常见。 （2）每个人都渴望成功。 （3）失败是走向成功的必经之路。

Failure and Success

Failure is a common thing in one’s life.Almost everyone experiences failure in his life.When one fails in doing something ,he often feels upset.Some people may move back facing failure.But others will stick on and achieve the final success. Success is what everyone expects.It may lead to fame and glory.When one succeeds in doing something ,he gets so excited that he often forgets all the attempts he has done.

Failure is an important factor toward success.As the old sayings，“Failure teaches success.”The way to success is full of various difficulties.Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failures.And only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy.

第三部分 成考作文特训45篇

1、金钱是一切吗？In Money Everything？

I don't think money is everything,but we can't do without it. Fox example,money can't buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example,money can't buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food,clothes and transportation. What's more,we need it to live a better life. In short,we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.

2、一些人喜欢住在城市，因为城市生活有许多便利。 Where to live —in the City or in the Country

Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages. They think there are more job opportunities in cities,life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country,and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.

But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health,life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.

I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.

3、你叫李平，是英语系学生会主席。写一封信给王教授，请他做一个有关中国历史的报告。 注意信中要包括目的、时间、日期和地点。Ⅴ.Writing May 19,2002 Dear Professor Wang：

4、男女应该平等吗？（Should Men and Women Be Equal？） Should Men and Women Be Equal？

People have different ideas about this issue,Some people say that men are superior to women in ability because men are physically stronger,do most of the hard labor in the world and hold most important positions. Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.

5、在中国，自行车是最为流行的交通工具。 The Bicycle in China

The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”.People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China. There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First,using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second,people can improve their health by riding a bicycle.

The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries,city governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge.

6、你是Helen，要写一封信给Julie，对她和她的丈夫昨日请你和你丈夫吃饭表示感谢，表示要回请他们，以答谢他们的盛情款待。 Dear Julie：

7、假冒伪劣商品是个严重问题。一些原因导致了这种现象。为了扫除假冒伪劣商品…… Fake Commodities

Fake and poor quality commodities are a serious problem. Many things can be faked such as soybean sauce， vinegar,bicycles,and many other things. The interests of consumers are affected,and many enterprises keep losing money because of cheap fake commodities.

There are some reasons for such a phenomenon. The major one is the desire of some people to “make easy money”.These people think nothing of the law of the protection of intellectual property rights.

To get rid of fake and poor quality commodities,the government should educate people to obey the law of the protection of individual intellectual property rights and not to sell any fake goods. The government should punish severely and close down all the factories producing fake goods.

8、你是Alice，你的朋友Bonnie很快就要到你的乡间小屋拜访，但你却要出去一会儿。留一张便条给她，告诉她食品在哪儿，告诉她一个人在屋里时应注意些什么。 May 18,2002 Dear Bonnie：

I will be away for a while. The key to the cottage is under the doormat,and the food is in the refrigerator. After entering the house,lock the door from inside at once. The cottage is far away from the nearest town,and the area is not quite safe from burglars. So I think the saying is right “Where there is precaution,there is no danger”.

Have a nice stay here. Yours, Alice

23、你是黎明。请以为题，向英文报纸写一封信，批评子女虐待老人，老人死后却又花钱

大操大办丧事的不良社会风气。信的开头部分已经写好，要求根据下面的要点提示将信补全 1．二自虐待老人的事例：在住、吃、治病方面各举一例； 2．老人死后儿子花钱大办丧事的事例：2-3例。 Big Funeral Is Too Late Dear editor:

Grandma Li was my neighbor, who died last month. The old lady had three sons. All of them had grown up and got married, but none of them wanted to take care of her. They let her live in a small dark room. They gave her little food. When she got ill, they refused to take her to hospital.

But to my surprise, the old lady’s sons spent a lot of money on her funeral. The funeral lasted several days, and scores of cars and trucks were used on the day when the old lady was buried.

What is the use of such a big funeral for the old lady? It is too late for her. We should take care of old parent s while they are alive instead of spending so much money on them when they are dead. Li Ming 24、视频游戏 Video Games

Video games have become very popular in recent years. Wherever you go, you can see youngsters or even adults indulged in the games. When they play the games in clubs, stores, or homes, they concentrate all their attention on them, with their hands busy operating. Obviously, video games give them great wonderful

entertainment. They bring great pleasure to youngsters, train them to respond quickly, stimulate their imagination and interest in electronics and computer science. In short, video games play a good part in the development of youngsters intelligence.

Just as a coin has two sides, video games have also some disadvantage. Some young people especially school children, spend too much time playing them, which would do harem to their health and eyes and affect their school achievements. Only if one has enough self-control, can one benefit from video games. 25、电影让位TV

Film Is Giving Way to TV

There are fewer film-goers now than before. The number of TV-watchers has been increasing. In 1975, there were only 5,000 TV-watchers and in 1985, the number increased 20 times. The increase is due to the development of TV industry. With the development of economy, people are richer than before and many families can afford to buy color TV sets. People would prefer to stay at home to watch TV rather than go out to see a film.

Although film is giving way to TV, there are still some people who like watching films not only because good films are not shown on TV but because film has its own advantage.

26、城市绿色的状况;绿化的好处（如：清洁空气，美化城市，改善气候......）

Recent efforts toward the greening of our cities have achieved much, although the results are still far from satisfactory. In recent years many trees have been

planted in the cities and much care has been taken of the planted trees. In spite of all this, the greening process is relatively slow compared with cities in many other countries. For example, the green space available on average to each Shanghai citizen is only 0.4 Mu while every Londoner has more than 20 Mu.

We can benefit much from making our cities greener by planting trees. First, trees absorb carbon dioxide to produce oxygen which is essential to the health of human beings. Second, trees and other greenery make our cities more beautiful. Third, trees can also improve the climate of the cities.

Since we can get so much from making our cities greener, we should spare no effort to do that. We should plant more trees and take better care of them. We also should not cut down the trees. In a word, we should do everything to add to the greening of our cities.

27、你在英语学习中有哪些困难?你是如何克服这些困难的?

To a Chinese, the task of learning English well is not easy. So I, like many other English learners, have met with difficulties in learning English during the past seven years. But I managed to overcome them and made much progress.

The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner. But I found our my own way to deal with them. As to spelling, I never copied a new work again and again to remember it, but tried to find its relevance to the sound. In fact, as long as I can read the word out, I can write it out. As to the meaning, I rarely recite its Chinese translation but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning. Moreover, if you use a word quite often, its spelling

and meaning will be no problem. After all, we are learning English in order to use it. Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty. But I have also got over it. I have not read lots of grammar books. But I spent much time reading the articles written by native speakers or specialists in English. By doing so, I came to gain “a sense of English language”. I began to gain a feel for which sentences are “good English” and which are not.

Finally, I want to say that overcoming all these difficulties requires perseverance. In the past seven years I spent at least an hour on English each day. I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English.

33、科学的作用和教学在现代生活

The Role of Science and Teaching in Modern Life

Human life can not continue without science and technology. In fact, the advancement of human society has always been depended upon the development of science and technology. As a result, the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our forefathers’.

The development of science and technology has brought about many changes in people’s life. For example, the invention of television has opened a new era for mankind. We can now view events which are happening thousands of miles away. Science and technology also play and important role in our socialist construction. Our socialist construction is just like a sky scraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the base, the skyscraper cannot be built. Therefore, we should try our best to further develop science and technology so as to lay a more solid base for our socialist construction.

Relationship between Customer and Seller

The relationship between customer and seller is now becoming more and more important in people’s life, with the rapid development of market economy. A good relationship between customer and seller can make buying and selling a happy experience and benefit both buyer and customer.

A good relationship between customer and seller can only exist on the basis of honesty and respect. The seller should be honest to customers introducing the actual advantages and disadvantages of his goods. He mustn’t deceive customers,

charge too high a price or serve them indifferently. On the part of the customer, he should also respect the seller and be reasonable. Some customers think they are “God” of the sellers, so they often behave coldly or even rudely to them. That’s not good manners. As long as one busy of his own will, both sides are equal. Sometimes problems and mistakes are inevitable. For example, the seller may forget to give his customer the change. If he doesn’t do it on purpose, the customer should be considerate and excuse him. On the basis of honesty and kindness, problems can easily be solved., 34、为什么我喜欢读报纸

Why I like to Read Newspaper

The newspaper is one of the many mediums of carrying information to us. No wonder people often say: “ Even without stepping out of my house, I am well-informed of al that has been happening in the world.”

We get all kinds of news from newspapers. Newspapers can tell us about various events, past and future, domestic and foreign. Besides, they can teach us a lot of useful things. In fact, everyone can find something he wants from newspapers, and everyone enjoys reading them everyday.

Reading newspapers can widen our scope of knowledge. Not only they help us improve our reading ability but they can help us enhance our ideology. Because of all these benefits, I like reading newspapers. My Opinion of Today’s Education

I think one of the main problems with today’s education is that too much

emphasis is placed on test scores. It has become the most important criterion for college enrollment. A student, however creative and intelligent, will not be admitted into a college if his total scores are just one point less than required. It is also one of the crucial factors either in job assignment or in employment competitions.

The competition for high scores among students becomes intense. Students find themselves concentrating more on strategies to achieve high scores than on acquiring knowledge. They will play truant of some subsidiary course, skip over the substance which will not be tested on, even pump teachers for hints on upcoming exams. Teachers are apt to give their students high scores. As their job is judged mainly by the students’ performance in terms of scores, some teachers tend to set easy papers to test their students on or narrow down the scope of the exam. Some teachers even leak “accidentally” the exam questions or lower their criterion of scoring.

As a result, the competition for high scores becomes so intense that it actually defeats academic goals of education. 35、教育市场

Education and the Market

As the socialist market economy in China is expanding, education is becoming more closely related to the market. In a broad sense, all the modern society is based on the market economy. As part of the society, education cannot be separated from the market. On the contrary, the former has much to do with the latter. Therefore, it

is general believed that educaiton serves the market and the latter, in turn, supports the former.

The reason for education to enter the market is obvious. As a developing country, China is not likely to invest a huge amount of money in education in the near future. Education has to turn to the market to find its own way. It is important to note that teacher’s way of production is to teach and train students. The students’ knowledge is an invisible product. In addition, their services to students and society are valuable. So education has to be run in accordance with the law value to realize the aim that students pay for their education and find jobs for themselves rather than being assigned jobs by the states.

Personally, I think education is an independent industry between students and the talent market. It is the indispensable link between the two. So I can conclude that since science and technology and talented people can enter the market, it is a matter of course for education to enter the market. 36、道歉信（接机） Dear Martin,

I am looking forward to your visit. Just think, after all these years of writing to each other, we will finally have the chance to meet! However, I am sorry that I will not be able to meet you at the airport as soon as you arrive.

The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the earliest I can get To the airport will be about an hour after you land 。Please wait for me in the arrival lounge. You should be able to have breakfast there while you wait.

By the way, as we have never met I must tell you how to recognize me. I am of medium height and have a small moustache. In addition, I will be carrying a copy of the morning newspaper tucked under my left arm. Looking forward to our meeting. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 37、道歉信（丢书） Dear Martin

I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me last week. I read it everyday and intended to finish it next month. Last night when I came to my room, it was nowhere to be found. I will try to recover it as soon as possible. If I fail to find it, I will get a new book for you.

But I am afraid it can never take the place of the old one. Old books are like old friends. Once lost, they can never be replaced. They are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have. And for this irrecoverable loss, I am to blame. I was so careless with my things. This is a warning to me to be more careful in the future. Yours truly, Tom

38、每个中国人都盼望中国加入世界贸易组织。 a. 加入世贸组织，国家和人民都将大大受益；

b. 加入世贸组织，也会带来一些不利影响，如国有企业将面临更大的挑战。 c. 对中国加入世贸组织感到欣喜之余，我们也应看到随之而来的一些挑战。 例文： What Will HappenIf China Enters WTO?

Every Chinese is looking forward to China“s entry into WTO, widely seen as a blessing and a promise of prosperity. It seems to be so at first sight, however, on reflection, we“re convinced that it“s just another coin with two sides.

On the one hand, both the nation and people will benefit greatly from China“s entry into WTO. Shut out of WTO, China Dused to be deprived of equal trade opportunities and was placed at a distinct disadvantage in world trade. This situation will change if China enters WTO. In addition, foreign coMPAnies will stream into China and offer great job opportunities, which, in a sense, will relieve the unemployment problem.

On the other hand, the entry will impose some negative effects on China. State-owned enterprises in China are undergoing great difficulties, which will be more acute with the flow of foreign competitors into China.

In short, excited about the advantages caused by the entry, we should not lose sight of the severe challenges posed by it.

39、快餐在中国十分流行，它是现代快节奏社会的最佳反映。 a. 快餐受欢迎有两条原因。

b. 然而，从营养角度来讲，快餐却差强人意。 c. 对快餐还是以偶尔品尝为宜。 例文： Fast Food

Fast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, it“s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food.

There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal —— saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. You just go into a fast food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready in no time. You can either eat it there or take it away. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean and comfortable environment of fast food restaurants, the excellent service, and the guaranteed qualith of food.

However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutritional value. Thus, doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible. Although cooking at home is time — consuming and the following washing-up tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs. Fast food is only a good

choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while.

例文： Preserving Natural Resources

Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several generations, the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against man“s wasteful use of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources. Ever since man appeared on the earth, man“s survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furiture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations would end up selling sand, as is the case in the cartoon, and the whole world would be in a mess.

Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.
