【模拟训练参考作文61】Motorcycles and City Traffic
Nowadays, we can see more and more motorcycles on the streets in big cities.
You never know what you can do till you try.
不试不知道，一试方知道。
Some people ride motorcycles to go to work. Others use them like taxis as tra
nsportation tools. They make a living by carrying passengers between short dista
nces. Some people regard motorcycles as the symbol of the quick improvement of
people’s living standards. But some people dislike them. I think the motorcy
cle has both its advantages and disadvantages.
Its advantages are, that first of all, it is not so expensive as a car, bu
t it runs as fast as a car. Second, since it can take people to their destinatio
n along a narrow path or lane, people like to ride or take it. It provides conve
nient service. Furthermore, it occupies much less parking space than a car. What
is more, traffic jam has no effect on motorcycles.
However, due to its high speed, a motorcycle is more likely to cause a ser
ious traffic accident. The riders often run the risk of losing their lives. Comp
ared with taxis, they are more dangerous both to the riders and the pedestrians.
Besides, it produces loud noises and pollutes the air compared with bikes.
In spite of its shortcomings, the motorcycle offers people much convenienc
e. I think it has a bright future, and it will become popular as a common transp
ortation means in cities in a few years.
【模拟训练参考作文62】The Advantages of Tourism
A little neglect may breed great mischief.
小误酿大祸。
In recent years, tourism has become a boom industry in our country. People are t
rying their best to explore their touring resources and to attract more tourists
. I think there are good reasons for the development of tourism in our country.
First, obviously it enhances the development of hotels and shopping facilities,
which, in turn, creates jobs for local people. It also creates a large market fo
r famous products of the local places. Since visitors are especially fond of spe
cialties of the resorts, some new industries develop rapidly to meet the demands
. As a result, it brings prosperity to the regions.
Second, the arrival of visitors always results in the improvements in the local
transportation devices such as airports, railroads, roads and docks. The local g
overnment may invest a lot in building and landscaping amusement parks and other
amenities in order to attract more tourists. Local people benefit a lot from th
ese improvements.
Finally, tourism is an important way to promote international understanding and
friendship between people of different countries. Some foreigners, after visitin
g China, say that they are deeply impressed by what they have seen in China and
that China today is quite different from what they thought before.
With the rich touring resources in our country and the obvious advantages of tou
rism, I believe tourism will be surely further developed. It will not only play
an increasingly important role in our economic development, but also serve as a
friendly link between Chinese people and peoples of different nations.
【模拟训练参考作文63】Trees——Man’s Faithful Friends
Trees are very useful to man in many ways. First, they provide man with wood for
building, making paper and furniture, and various other purposes. Secondly, the
y provide people with various fruits. Thirdly, they give people shade in hot wea
ther. Next, trees reduce air pollution by combating the dirty air caused by carb
on dioxide from automobiles and industrial wastes, through photosynthesis, and p
roducing oxygen. Increased oxygen clears the air and makes breathing easier. And
most of all, they help prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, people have not realized the importan
ce of trees. In order to draw quick benefit from trees, they have cut down trees
in large numbers. As a result, man has lost his faithful friends. Disafforestat
ion results in not only the loss of benefits from trees, but also a disastrous c
hain of events. The roots of trees break the soil up, allow the rain to sink in,
True love is giving, not taking.
真挚的爱是给而不取。
and hold the soil to keep it from being washed away easily. Without trees, the
rain falls on the hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and
carrying away the rich topsoil, in which crops grow well. When all the topsoil i
s gone, nothing remains but worthless desert. Besides, owing to the loss of many
trees, the global temperature keeps on rising.
So saving and planting trees means saving man himself. Man cannot survive withou
t trees——faithful friends.
【模拟训练参考作文64】I Prefer Long Vacations
Students have different preference for the length of vacations. Some like
a long vacation in a school year while others prefer several short vacations. Ac
tually, both have their advantages and disadvantages. If I am to make a choice,
I would not hesitate to choose the former.
Long vacations have several advantages. First, a long vacation enables me
to make long trips since traveling is one of my hobbies. I can go as far as to T
ibet, Yunnan or other countries. Second, often I need make some money during vac
ations to cover my school expenses. Only long vacations allow me to make enou
gh money. In addition, work experience is helpful for my future career. Third, I
usually do a lot of reading during long vacations. I can read many of the books
Time tames the strongest grief.
时间能缓和极度的悲痛。
I had no time to read during the semester, which benefits me quite a lot. Besid
es, I can visit many of my friends and high school classmates. In brief, I can d
o a lot of interesting and useful things in a long vacation. As for a short vaca
tion, I can hardly complete any of my abovementioned tasks. What I can do may
be sleeping, eating, and putting on weight.
Long vacations, however, have some disadvantages. The long yearly vacation seems
so long that we will probably forget classes after the vacation. Despite the ne
gative point, I prefer long vacations.
【模拟训练参考作文65】Can Success be Measured in Terms of Money Al
one
There is a deeprooted concept in people’s mind that money is the only yar
dstick of success. In such a materialistic society, it is natural that people ar
e inclined to assess one’s success by money. Actually there are many types of su
ccess, some associated with wealth and some not. So it seems to me that there sh
ould be something else besides money for measurement of success.
While it is true that a successful businessperson or inventor will usually
become rich, many other people who are outstanding in certain fields do not rea
p monetary rewards. One example is that the rocket scientist who makes great ach
ievement in the field of astronautics while gaining glory for his country, but d
raws a modest salary. For another example, Lei Feng devoted all his short life t
o h
elping others, and is believed to have led a successful and meaningful life. But
he owned almost no personal possessions.
Besides, money as the only yardstick of success may be misleading. It may
motivate people to strive to make money by fair means or foul. If one is concern
ed about nothing but making money in one’s life, what would this world become of
? People may lose the sense of achievements. Therefore, besides money, one’s suc
cess should be measured in terms of accomplishments or contributions to the deve
lopment of the country.
【模拟训练参考作文66】Work and Play
Anyone who wants to have a both fruitful and cheerful life should deal well with
the relationship between work and play. The proverb “Work while you work, play
while you play” tells you what you should do.
When we are working, we should focus our attention on our work. If we devote our
selves to a task, we have every reason to do it well. Secondly, as the proverb g
oes, “No pains, no gains,” only by working hard can we improve our working and
Troubles never come singly.祸不单行。
living conditions. Otherwise, we won’t achieve any accomplishments in any profess
ion. Thus, we must concentrate our attention on anything we are assigned.
Moreover, we cannot work all day long without recreation, for “All work and no
p
lay makes Jack a dull boy.” Play is as necessary to us as work. Play can reliev
e
us of the fatigue from our work, and makes us cheerful. After a weary day or we
ek, we enjoy ourselves to our hearts’ content so that we can get fully relaxed a
nd become energetic again, ready for work.
So, for a fruitful and cheerful life, it is important to strike a balance betwee
n work and play.
