1、Unit 3Writing Task 1Directions: Some people say winning means being rich, some people say winning means being powerful, and other people say winning means being happy. Please write a paragraph of about 120 words about YOUR understanding of winning.Sample 1Some people say that winning means being ric
2、h, some say winning means being powerful, and others think winning means being happy. I think winning means doing what you should do and being good at it. Most of us can only live in this world for no more than 70 or 80 years. We shouldnt think too much about what we can get from this world. Instead
3、, we should think about what we can leave in this world. The one who can make more contributions to the world is a real winner. For example, cleaning the street is a humble job in many peoples eyes, but in my opinion, street cleaners can also be great winners. They make our city more beautiful. They
4、 give us a better environment and consequently a better life. On the contrary, some people make money at the cost of the environment. Some are even worse: They cheat or kill others in order to gain power or earn money. Winners or losers? Its time to give it a second thought.Writing Task 2Directions:
5、 Some people believe that only people who earn a lot of money are successful. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Sample 2China has a population of over one billion people. The majority of Chinese people are not very rich compared with people in the wes
6、tern countries. In fact, it is a very small percentage of people who hold the status of being wealthy. Does this mean that the vast majority of the Chinese are unsuccessful? The answer to this question is definitely “no”. There are many measures of success, and money is only one of them. However, mo
7、ney is far from the main measure of success. To prove this point, one need only consider the possibility that a man could be wealthy beyond belief, but not regard himself successful. Perhaps, he inherited his money, and has done nothing of value in his life. Perhaps he earned the money by illegal me
8、ans. Whatever the situation is, it is likely that a rich man could be considered unsuccessful, either by himself, or by others. Many people think that the main measure of success is happiness, rather than material possessions. Without happiness, even a person with a big sum of money, high status wou
9、ld not be successful. However, a low paid schoolteacher might think he was very successful if he derived a great sense of achievement from his teaching . Or perhaps a housewife, who makes no money of her own, would feel successful if she raised a healthy, well-adjusted child and kept her home lookin
10、g wonderful. It is also important to look at the difference between self-perceived success and ones success in the eyes of another person. Perhaps the outside world views a man as unsuccessful if he does not have a lot of money, but he views himself as very successful because of his achievements in
11、life. Whose opinion is more important? I believe that if one thinks he is successful, then he is, no matter what other people say. In conclusion, money is not the only measure of success. Anyone can be successful, whether they are rich or poor. What matters is how one views himself; if one is proud
12、of his achievements in life, and feels that he has lived a fulfilling life, he is successful.Unit 4Directions: So far you have learned a lot about how psychology works in different cases. Write a composition entitled “Psychology in Our Life”. Focus your composition on one or two cases so that your w
13、riting wont be too difficult to organize. Your composition should have at least 120 words. Remember to write neatly. You may begin your composition like this: Psychology plays an important role in our daily lifeSample 1Psychology plays an important role in our daily life. Our feelings and attitudes
14、color the way we behave. Confidence is a good example. In reality, a great number of people complain that they are not able to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. In some cases, this may be true. But in other cases, it means that these people allow themselves to get di
15、scouraged. For example, a confident man can accomplish many things. If you have confidence, you believe you can do things well. You might not always do as well as you hope, but you will try harder the next time. A man who lacks self-confidence might not be able to complete simple tasks. Without conf
16、idence you are likely to be nervous, unsure of yourself and confused about what to do and how to do it. You may think you will fail, so as a result you will not try hard enough. As the old saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. In other words, if you have the will or the determination to do something, you will always find a way to do it. Having confidence is an important part of our life.
