? 范文：
As is vividly depicted in the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are many students sitting in a classroom. When listening to the teacher, one of the students just interrupts the teacher and says \we’re in the job market, won't that stuff be outdated?\ Having heard this question, the teacher stops demonstrating the Multiplication Table and seems to be quite shocked and embarrassed.
? The cartoon informs us of the phenomenon that quite a few students undervalue the importance of learning basic skills these days. Confronted with fiercer competition from society and employment market, students are more focused on practical skills which can be applied in daily work immediately. Moreover, they also fears that the basic knowledge and skills they learn today will be outdated by the time they are in the job market. ? However, no one can disclaim the importance of learning basic skills. It enables us to lay a strong foundation for further learning and exploration. In other words, those who have mastered basic skills well are more likely to acquire other skills and knowledge with ease. Basic skills are equivalent to the first step of success, as an ancient Chinese saying goes, \thousand miles towards the success begins with the first step.\2.Directions:

We can see that in this picture, a teacher is teaching her pupils to deal with arithmetic questions, but some of them think that learning these mathematical skills is useless. They argue that by the time they are in the job market, these skills will be outdated. As to whether it is important to learn basic skills, people hold different views.
As far as I know, it is very important for one student to acquire basic skills. At first, mastering basic skills well can lay a solid foundation for learning advanced skills. Basic skills are a floor, not a ceiling. Students must learn them first so that they can move on to various advanced skills. What’s more, learning basic skills helps to improve confidence and enhance self-esteem. Individuals with basic skills are likely to be more confident and active.
All in all, if we want to keep progressing, it is important to learn basic skills well. By mastering basic skills and learning new things, we will have a bright future! 3. Directions:
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the importance of reading literature. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. “just read it as if you’re reading a long text message.”
? The importance of reading literature
? As is humorously portrayed in the cartoon, a teacher is handing a classic literature book to a student, asking the student to “just read it as if you are reading a long text message.” Obviously, the symbolical meaning of this picture is to show us the importance of reading literature.
? It should be generally acknowledged that classic literature plays a significant role not only in preserving the essence of great minds but also in enhancing the quality of one’s life. To begin with, literature as the collection of great minds will help us enormously broaden our horizons, experiencing things we won’t have the chance to do as well as lives we won’t be able to enjoy. What is more, those fine stories selected and conveyed by the great author, although happened in the past, still carry some useful information and implication for our daily lives. In addition, the beautiful words and sentences flowing in the pages of excellent literature can greatly ease our tiredness, making us feel easy and quiet.
? Therefore, we ought to fully realize the importance of reading literature. Just as the teacher in the picture puts, reading literature should be as easy and common as reading text messages. Facing the coming challenges in the days ahead, we need to equip us with not only science but also literature by which we can beautify our life and the world. 。4.

范文：As is clearly shown in the chart, the education level and earning are closely related to each other. It is obvious that well-educated people owning Doctoral degree and Master's degree have a higher salary than those who have a relatively lower degree. Isolated as the figure seems to be, as a matter of fact, we can observe that the higher level of education you receive, the higher income you get.
Several reasons can account for this phenomenon. To begin with, compared with those who have comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income job. In addition, the higher one’s education degree is the bigger platform he will have to show his ability. For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers.
As for me, education is a worthy investment. On one hand, education offers favorable working opportunity and handsome income. On the other hand, it plays a crucial role in personal growth of career. In brief, substantial education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves. 5.Directions:
Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 120 words. Your essay must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET Ⅱ. Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below: 1. Interpret the following pictures. 2.Predict the tendency of tobacco consumption and give your reasons.
As is shown in the first picture, the total production of tobacco in the world dropped from 14.364billion lbs. in 1994 to 14.2billion lbs. in 1995. According to the figures given in picture two, cigarette smokers account for 20percent of the total population in the world, reaching 1.1 billion persons. From the third and the fourth pictures we can see that smoking causes a lot of losses. First, it is a tremendous waste of money. The total amount of money spent on cigarette smoking amounts to $200 billion every year. Second, about 3 million people on the globe die of smoking every year.
As far as the tendency of tobacco consumption is concerned, I think in some
developed countries the consumption will more or less stabilize. In many developing nations, however, the number of cigarette smokers will be on the rise.
There are two good reasons for what I’ve mentioned above. On the one hand, a growing number of people in developed countries realize that smoking pollutes the air, that it does a lot of harm to one’s health, and that it may be responsible for lung cancer and many other disease. One the other hand, cigarette smoking, unfortunately, is seen as a sign of economic growth in many developing countries. It is clear that the future tobacco consumption will vary from country to country.
