My essay：
Dear Friend,
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your warm reception.
Had it not been for your assistance in arranging the program schedule, I would not have achieved so much progress in Sino-American cultural exchange.

我不得不再次感谢您。祝您今天和永远快乐幸福。

phone subscription
Were it not for the chart depicting mobile phone subscriptions in developing and developed countries from 2000 to 2008, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, from 2000 to 2008, subscriptions in developing countries augmented remarkably from approximately half a billion to nearly 4 billion, dwarfing the mere 1 billion subscriptions in developed countries by 2008.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with the rapid economic development is the pursuit of a high-quality lifestyle, propelling many individuals, if not most, to purchase mobile phones that provide unparalleled convenience. Additionally, the crux of the matter is that most people have a penchant for staying abreast of the latest technological achievements, triggering a significant rise in mobile phone purchases. As the last point, it is an immutable fact that the population continues to skyrocket in developing countries, which is an overridingly important reason resulting in higher demand for communication devices.
In the same way that breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this trend since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是这张图描绘了 2000 年至 2008 年发展中国家和发达国家的移动电话用户情况，这些发人深省的统计数字就会被忽视：具体地说，从 2000 年到 2008 年，发展中国家的移动电话用户从大约 5 亿激增到近 40 亿，使发达国家到 2008 年仅有的 10 亿用户相形见绌。
根本原因可归纳如下。首先，与经济快速发展相伴的是人们对高品质生活方式的追求，这促使许多人（如果不是大多数人的话）购买能提供无与伦比的便利的移动电话。此外，问题的关键在于大多数人都喜欢了解最新的科技成果，从而引发了手机购买量的大幅上升。 最后一点，发展中国家的人口持续激增是一个永恒不变的事实，这也是导致通信设备需求增加的一个极其重要的原因。
就像日本蝴蝶翅膀上的微风最终会在加利福尼亚掀起浪潮一样，我们必须高度重视这一趋势，因为它可能会带来巨大的后果。

2）give him/her suggestions on how to get prepared for university life.
You should write about 100 words On ANSWER SHEET 2.
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Zhang Wei” instead.Do not write the address.
My essay：
Dear Li Ming,
I am writing to express my heartfelt congratulations to you for being admitted to a university.
I know how hard you have worked to achieve this goal. In fact, good things come to those who wait. Believe it or not, I can imagine how proud your parents are now, and they have been anxiously hoping to witness your brilliant success. Additionally, a diligent and well-round person as you prove yourself, my suggestion on how to get prepared for university life is that you keep humble and spare no effort to pursue another goal. As the proverb states: “A destination means a brand-new starting point.”
Once again, congratulations on your further education.
Yours sincerely,

亲爱的李明
谨以此文衷心祝贺你被大学录取。
我知道你为了实现这个目标付出了多少努力。事实上，好事多磨。不管你信不信，我都能想象你的父母现在是多么自豪，他们一直在焦急地期盼着见证你的辉煌成就。此外，你证明了自己是一个勤奋而全面的人，关于如何为大学生活做好准备，我的建议是你要保持谦虚，不遗余力地追求另一个目标。正如谚语所说 “一个终点意味着一个全新的起点"。
再次祝贺你继续深造。
你真诚的

automoblie industry
Were it not for the chart above, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, in 2008, the Japanese brand peaked among all categories at approximately 35% , while in 2009, a remarkable decline occurred in it by 10% from 35% to 25%. However, the Chinese brand augmented remarkably from only about 25% in 2008 to 32% in 2009.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, Initially, coincident with rapid economic development and technological achievements is the high-quality vehicles of the Chinese car industry, propelling individuals, if not most, to purchase their cars that provide unparalleled convenience. Additionally, the crux of the matter is that more and more people have a penchant for accepting the domestic car brands, which is an overridingly significant reason resulting in the rising market share of Chinese brands. As the last point, it is an immutable fact that the government enacted a series of laws and regulations that promote the purchase of domestic cars, which plays a crucial role in this trend.
In the same way that a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this trend since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是上面的图表，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽视：具体而言，2008 年，日本品牌在所有类别中达到顶峰，约占 35%，而 2009 年，日本品牌从 35% 降至 25%，降幅达 10%。然而，中国品牌却从 2008 年的约 25% 显著上升到 2009 年的 32%。
基本因素可归纳如下。首先，与经济快速发展和科技成就相辅相成的是中国汽车行业的高品质汽车，这推动了个人甚至大多数人购买他们的汽车，为他们提供了无与伦比的便利。此外，问题的关键在于越来越多的人喜欢接受国产汽车品牌，这也是中国品牌市场份额不断上升的重要原因。最后一点，政府制定的一系列促进购买国产汽车的法律法规也是不争的事实，在这一趋势中起到了至关重要的作用。
就像日本的蝴蝶翅膀最终会在加利福尼亚掀起浪潮一样，我们必须高度重视这一趋势，因为它可能会带来巨大的后果。

2）demand a prompt solution.
You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Zhang Wei” instead.

My essay:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I, as a regular customer, am writing to lodge a complaint about a faulty electronic dictionary I recently purchased.
It is a shame to let you know that your product inconsistent with the promised standards, is far from satisfactory as it has several issues affecting its functionality. Additionally, when I called to alert your staff to require addressing the issue, in response to my phone call I was assured that it would be addressed promptly. However, I have not seen any action taken. Could you clarify what ‘promptly’ means in this context?
I would appreciate it if you should replace the product with a new, fully functional unit as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Wei
尊敬的先生或女士
作为一名老顾客，我写信投诉我最近购买的电子词典有问题。
很遗憾地告诉您，贵公司的产品与承诺的标准不符，远远不能令人满意，因为它存在一些影响其功能的问题。此外，当我打电话提醒贵公司员工需要解决这个问题时，他们在电话中向我保证会迅速解决这个问题。但是，我没有看到采取任何行动。您能否澄清一下在这种情况下 “迅速 ”是什么意思？
如果你们能尽快为我更换一个功能齐全的新产品，我将不胜感激。

employee contentment
Were it not for the table from a survey on employee contentment in a certain company, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, employees above 50 years old are most likely to feel job satisfaction, with 40% doing so. In contrast, the majority (64%) of those aged between 41 and 50 show discontent.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with the growing accumulation of expertise year by year is the more competent in the job, which is why those older than 50 stand the best chance of succeeding and obtaining a sense of achievement. Additionally, the prospect for promotion also largely affects job satisfaction. Facing a gloomy outlook of being stagnated in the same position for years to come, many employees between 41 and 50 years old tend to have much to complain about.
It is wise for companies to adopt different strategies towards different age groups if they are to enhance employee contentment. For example, companies should consider increasing promotion opportunities for employees in their midlife.
如果不是看到某公司员工满意度调查表，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体来说，50 岁以上的员工最有可能感到工作满意，占 40%。相比之下，41 至 50 岁的员工大多（64%）表示不满。
根本原因可归纳如下。首先，随着专业知识的逐年积累，工作能力越强，因此 50 岁以上的人最有机会获得 成功感和成就感。此外，晋升前景也在很大程度上影响着工作满意度。许多 41 至 50 岁的员工面对未来数年在同一职位上停滞不前的黯淡前景，往往会有很多抱怨。
企业要想提高员工的满意度，最好针对不同年龄段的员工采取不同的策略。例如，企业应考虑增加中年员工的晋升机会。

You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.

My essay：
Dear classmates,
With regard to the upcoming charity sale, I’m writing this missive with the aim of informing the details.
The event will be held at the Student Center, on December 31, 2024, from 8 am to 5 pm. And in order to assist China’s charitable cause, all of the proceeds from this activity will go forward purchasing some essential items for children in impoverished mountainous areas. Meanwhile, all undergraduates, their families, university faculty and staff are invited to attend, not just those from our class.
Let’s come together to make a difference for these children in need. Imagine the joy on children’s faces after receiving the gifts we sent them.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

part-time work
Were it not for the bar chart showing the variation in taking a part-time job among students in a certain university, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, the percentage of taking a part-time job increased slightly from 61.17% in the first year to 71.93% in the third year. However, the proportion augmented remarkably from 71.93% to 88.24% during the fourth year.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, freshmen have entered a brand new stage with ample leisure time, resulting in students having a penchant for taking a part-time job to enrich their college life. Additionally, it is an immutable fact that students may feel challenged by struggling with their transition to college-level courses, which slowed down the increase in participation rates. As the last point, the crux of the matter is that those graduates faced reduced academic pressure but heightened social pressure. Thus, many graduates, if not most, turned to hunting for a part-time job to foster their creativity and work skills, which is of overriding importance.
In the same way that breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this trend since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是柱状图显示了某大学学生兼职情况的变化，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体来说，兼职比例从第一年的 61.17%略微上升到第三年的 71.93%。但是，在第四年，这一比例又从 71.93% 显著上升到 88.24%。
根本原因可归纳如下。首先，大一新生进入了一个崭新的阶段，有了充裕的课余时间，导致学生喜欢做兼职来充实自己的大学生活。此外，学生在过渡到大学课程的过程中可能会遇到困难，这也是不争的事实，从而减缓了参与率的增长。最后一点，问题的关键在于，这些毕业生面临的学业压力减轻了，但社会压力却增加了。因此，即使不是大多数，也有许多毕业生转而寻找兼职工作，以培养自己的创造力和工作技能，这一点至关重要。
正如日本的 “蝴蝶之风 ”最终可能会在加利福尼亚掀起 “浪潮 ”一样，我们必须高度重视这一趋势，因为它可能会带来巨大的后果。

My essay：
Dear John,
I, as your new roommate, am writing to introduce myself and express friendly greetings.
Worried that there may be some conflicts in our living habits, I think it’s necessary to share some of my daily habits with you. In order to keep the energy of the next day, I usually don’t stay up late, so hopefully we can keep things quiet after 11 pm. Additionally, as a newcomer, I may not be able to adapt well to the new lifestyle. If you could give me some advice and help with it, I would be very grateful.
Looking forward to meeting you. I do believe we will have a pleasant time together!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

population variations
Were it not for the bar chart showing the variation in urban and rural population from 1990 to 2010 in China, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, the urban population augmented remarkably from 300 million to 666 million. Meanwhile, the rural population dramatically dipped from 834 million to 674 million.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with the rapid urbanization is the growing economic development, providing people with abundant opportunities to achieve self-worth and personal development. Additionally, many individuals, if not most, have a penchant for enjoying a more convenient and modern life, resulting in them moving towards big cities so that they could gain access to advanced technology. As the last point, it is an immutable fact that a cosy environment is always more attractive, but the outdated rural infrastructure can not meet the rising expectation of modern lifestyles,prompting more people to relocate to cities, which is of overriding importance.
In the same way that breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this trend since there may be huge consequences.
如果不是柱状图显示了 1990 年至 2010 年中国城乡人口的变化，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽视：具体而言，城市人口从 3 亿显著增加到 6.66 亿。与此同时，农村人口却从 8.34 亿锐减至 6.74 亿。
其根本原因可归纳如下。首先，与快速城市化相伴的是经济的不断发展，这为人们实现自我价值和个人发展提供了丰富的机会。此外，许多人（如果不是大多数人的话）都希望享受更便捷、更现代化的生活，这导致他们向大城市迁移，以便获得先进的技术。最后一点，一个永恒不变的事实是，舒适的环境总是更具吸引力，但落后的农村基础设施无法满足人们对现代生活方式不断提高的期望，这促使更多的人迁往城市。

resident expenditures
Were it not for the pie chart depicting the consumption proportion in a certain city during the Spring Festival, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, the percentage of expenditure on new-year gifts peaked among all those categories, at approximately 40%. Meanwhile, the consumptions of transport and eating were only slightly lower, occupying 20% respectively.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, it is an immutable fact that individuals have a penchant for conveying their heartfelt wishes during the Spring Festival, prompting them to purchase some meaningful gifts for the host. Additionally, residents’ lives have entered a completely new stage with abundant leisure time, which motivates people to gather with their like-minded friends for celebratory meals. In a contemporary context, advanced transportation provides families with more opportunities to travel during the holiday, contributing to transport-related spending.
In the same way that breezes from a butterfly’s Wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this situation above since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是这幅饼状图描绘了某城市春节期间的消费比例，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体来说，年货消费的比例在所有类别中都达到了顶峰，约为 40%。与此同时，交通消费和餐饮消费则略低，分别占到 20%。
其根本原因可归纳如下。首先，人们在春节期间喜欢表达自己的心声，购买一些有意义的礼物馈赠主人，这是不争的事实。此外，居民的生活进入了一个全新的阶段，有了充裕的闲暇时间，这也促使人们与志同道合的朋友相聚一堂，共进晚餐。在当代背景下，发达的交通为家庭在节日期间提供了更多的出行机会，促进了与交通相关的消费。

My essay：
Dear Jack,
Thank you for your heartfelt congratulations! With regard to the translation, I’d like to share some personal experience that I hope will be helpful to you.
Initially, building a large vocabulary is essential, which means understanding both common and less frequent meanings, and possibly even some of its phrases. However, knowing words is far from enough, while a deep understanding is crucial, which implies that you have possessed the ability to translate sentences smoothly and accurately. Third and last, what is learned on paper may seem shallow, but one must put it into practice.
Thank you again for congratulations. Stay humble and practice diligently and I look forward to your reply and hope to hear good news from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
亲爱的杰克
感谢您衷心的祝贺！关于翻译，我想分享一些个人经验，希望对你有所帮助。
起初，积累大量的词汇是必不可少的，这意味着既要了解常用词的意思，也要了解不常用词的意思，甚至可能还要了解其中的一些短语。然而，仅仅了解单词是远远不够的，深入理解才是关键，这意味着你已经具备了流畅、准确地翻译句子的能力。第三，也是最后一点，纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行。
再次感谢您的祝贺。谦虚谨慎，勤学苦练，我期待着您的回复，并希望早日听到您的好消息。

travel purpose

Meanwhile, the proportion of relieving the pressure was only slightly lower, occupying 33%.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, the crux of the matter is that the abundance of breathtaking natural landscapes motivates many students who process ample leisure time to explore scenic destinations. Additionally, it is an immutable fact that a lot of students may feel challenged by struggling with their transition to college-level courses, which prompts them to seek travel as a means of relieving stress and finding balance. As the last point, in a contemporary context, traveling provides students with opportunities to make like-minded friends and enhance their independence, attracting a growing number of students to participate in.
In the same way that the breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this situation since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是某高校学生旅行目的调查的饼状图，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略，具体来说，“欣赏风景 ”的比例是所有类别中最高的，约占 37%。而缓解压力的比例则略低，约占 33%。
基本因素可以阐述如下。首先，问题的关键在于，大量令人叹为观止的自然景观激发了许多有充足闲暇时间的学 生去探索风景名胜。此外，许多学生可能会因难以适应大学课程而感到挑战，这也是不争的事实，这促使他们寻求旅行作为一种缓解压力和寻求平衡的手段。最后一点，在当代背景下，旅行为学生提供了结交志同道合的朋友、增强独立性的机会，吸引了越来越多的学生参与其中。

Additionally, from the perspective of traditional festivals, I intend to introduce international students to the customs and inner meaning of some major festivals, such as the Spring festival, to help them better understand and connect with Chinese culture. As the last point, it is necessary that an explanation about how Chinese culture has survived continued to grow in the midst of cultural conflicts, against the context of global cultural integration.

mesume visitors
Were it not for the line chart depicting the variation in the number of visitors and museums in China from 2013 to 2015, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded Specifically, the number of visitors augmented from only 631.8 million to 781.1 million. Meanwhile, the number of museums increased slightly from 4165 to 4692.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with the growing national strength is the increased confidence in Chinese culture and history, triggering that more and more people are interested in local history. Additionally, many individuals have a penchant for visiting museums that feature various and meaningful exhibitions aimed at fostering interest and enthusiasm in history. However, in the contemporary context, the number of museums has not kept pace with the growing number of visitors, which suggests that the local governments have not adequately responded to the rising enthusiasm for cultural education.
In the same way that the breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this trend since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是这幅折线图描绘了 2013 年至 2015 年中国游客人数和博物馆数量的变化，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略。与此同时，博物馆数量从 4165 家略微增加到 4692 家。
根本原因可归纳如下。首先，随着国力的增强，人们对中国文化和历史的信心也在增强，从而引发了越来越多的人对本土历史的兴趣。此外，许多人都喜欢参观博物馆，这些博物馆的展览形式多样、意义深远，旨在培养人们对历史的兴趣和热情。然而，在当代背景下，博物馆的数量并没有跟上参观者数量的增长，这表明地方政府没有对日益高涨的文化教育热情做出充分回应。

Dear Professor Smith,
I am writing to express my sincere apology, as I have to put off our meeting.
I deeply apologize for any inconvenience it causes you and any changes it necessitates in your busy schedule. I never meant to do this, but unexpectedly I fell ill, possibly due to the sudden cooling last night, which caused me to wake up from the pain with a headache, feeling weak all over this morning. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with the flu. The doctor advised me to take sufficient rest, so I have little choice but to stay at home.
Regretful as I was, it is impossible to turn things around. I was wondering whether we could rearrange the appointment for another time. If it is possible, please let me know when you will be available.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
亲爱的史密斯教授
我不得不推迟我们的会面，在此致以诚挚的歉意。
如果因此给您带来任何不便，或使您百忙之中的日程有任何变动，我深表歉意。我从未想过要这样做，但我意外地生病了，可能是由于昨晚的突然降温，导致我从疼痛中醒来，头痛欲裂，今早感觉全身无力。我去了医院，被诊断为流感。医生建议我充分休息，所以我只能待在家里。
虽然我很遗憾，但这是不可能扭转局面的。我想知道我们是否可以重新安排预约时间。如果可以，请告诉我您什么时候有空。

restaurant choose
Were it not for the pie chart depicting the factors considered when people choose restaurants, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically the percentage of restaurant features peaked among all those categories, at approximately 36.30%. Meanwhile, the proportion of service was only slightly lower, occupying 26.80%.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, the crux of the matter is that delicious and unique food is the key for a restaurant to keep competitive and attract customers. Additionally, it is an immutable fact that individuals have a penchant for spending money on experiencing excellent services, prompting their satisfaction of mind. As the last point, many individuals, if not most, accept eating environment as another condition when they select restaurants, leading to about 23% of people paying attention to the restaurant surroundings, as a clean and comfortable atmosphere can significantly enhance overall experience, which is of overriding importance.
In the same way that the breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this situation since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是饼状图描述了人们在选择餐厅时所考虑的因素，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体来说，餐厅特色所占比例在所有类别中最高，约为 36.30%。与此同时，服务所占的比例则略低，仅为 26.80%。
基本因素可阐述如下。首先，美味独特的食物是餐厅保持竞争力和吸引顾客的关键。此外，人们喜欢花钱体验优质服务，这也是一个永恒不变的事实，从而促使他们感到满意。最后一点，许多人（如果不是大多数人的话）将就餐环境作为选择餐厅的另一个条件，导致约 23% 的人关注餐厅周围环境，因为整洁舒适的氛围能显著提升整体就餐体验，这一点至关重要。
就像日本的蝴蝶翅膀吹起的微风，最终会在加利福尼亚掀起巨浪一样，我们必须高度重视这种情况，因为它可能会产生巨大的后果。

traffic debate
Directions :
Suppose Professor Smith asked you to plan a debate on the theme of city traffic.
Write him an email to
1）suggest a spccific topic with your reasons, and
2）tell him about your arrangements.
You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.
Do not use your own name, Use “Li Ming" instead.
My essay：
Dear Professor Smith,
Excited to receive the task of organizing a traffic debate, I am writing to outline the details of the activity.
Initially, the specific topic of the debate I have carefully selected for the debate is how to reduce the phenomena regarding the two-wheeler running red lights, which is a thorny problem neglected by the authorities, confusing many pedestrians who comply with the traffic laws but are often at risk by these violations. According to the plan, at the beginning of the debate, you will be invited to give a brief speech. Next, each group will have a lively discussion, brainstorming practical solutions. Finally, you will select the most persuasive and feasible solution from the ideas presented.
This is a preliminary plan. If you have any feedback on it, please feel free to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
亲爱的史密斯教授
接到组织交通辩论赛的任务后，我很兴奋，现致函概述活动细节。
首先，我为辩论会精心挑选的具体辩题是如何减少两轮摩托车闯红灯的现象，这是一个被有关部门忽视的棘手问题，使许多遵守交通法规的行人无所适从，但这些违规行为却常常使他们处于危险之中。根据计划，在辩论开始时，将邀请您做一个简短的发言。接下来，每个小组将展开热烈讨论，集思广益，提出切实可行的解决方案。最后，你们将从提出的观点中选出最具说服力和可行性的解决方案。
这只是一个初步计划。如果您有任何反馈意见，请随时与我联系。

graduate‘s choice
Were it not for the bar chart depicting the variation in the destination chosen by graduates in a certain university, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, the percentage of hunting for a job slightly dipped from 68.1% in 2013 to 607% in 2018. Meanwhile, the proportion of pursuing further education augmented from 26.3% in 2013 to 34.0% in 2018.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, the crux of the matter is that rapid economic development provides those graduates with abundant opportunities to achieve self-value and enrich social experience, which is why job-hunting remains a popular choice. Additionally, it is an immutable fact that pursuing further education is of all advantages, prompting that many graduates, especially those without immediate financial pressures, have a penchant for seeking advanced degrees to broaden their horizons and enhance their competitiveness.
In the same way that the breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this trend since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是柱状图描绘了某大学毕业生选择去向的变化，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体而言，找工作的比例从2013年的68.1%略微下降到2018年的607%。同时，继续深造的比例从2013年的26.3%上升到2018年的34.0%。
基本因素可阐述如下。首先，关键在于经济的快速发展为毕业生提供了实现自我价值、丰富社会阅历的大量机会，因此求职依然是热门选择。此外，“读万卷书，行万里路 ”也是不争的事实，这也促使很多毕业生，尤其是那些没有直接经济压力的毕业生，喜欢通过攻读高学位来开阔视野，增强竞争力。
正如日本的 “蝴蝶翅膀 ”最终可能会在加利福尼亚掀起 “浪潮 ”一样，我们必须高度重视这一趋势，因为它可能会带来巨大的后果。

historical site
Directions :Suppose you are planning a tour of a historical site for a group of international students. Write them an email to
1）tell them about the site,and
2）give them some tips for the tour.
You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.
Do not use your own name. Use “Li Ming” instead.
My essay：
Dear Friends,
I, as the head of the tour, am writing to give a preliminary introduction about the historical sites we are going to visit-- the Great Wall.
Located in the city of Beijing, the Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders of the world, commands a unique position in both the national history and the architectural heritage of China. The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Today, the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world due to the fact it represents the significance of persistence and cooperation.
It is worth noting that during our visit, please remember to respect the regulations of the site to preserve the remarkable treasure for future generations.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
亲爱的朋友们
我作为这次旅行团的团长，现就我们将要参观的历史遗迹–长城，作一初步介绍。
长城位于北京城内，是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一，在中国的民族历史和建筑遗产中都占有独特的地位。长城顶端宽阔，可供五匹马或十个人并排行走。今天，长城不仅是中国人的兴趣所在，也是全世界人民的兴趣所在，因为它代表了坚持与合作的意义。
值得注意的是，在我们参观期间，请谨记尊重景区的规定，为子孙后代保护好这一非凡的瑰宝。

moblie reading
Were it not for the pie chart from a survey about the purpose of cellphone reading among students in a certain university, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, the percentage of learning has peaked among all categories, at approximately 59.5%,. Meanwhile, the proportion of killing time is the second highest, occupying 21.3%.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with the growing development of technology is the enormous convenience for individuals to access a wealth of knowledge which motivates students to learn both in and out of class using smartphones. Additionally, the human race has entered a completely new stage in history with the increasingly rapid flow of information, which encourages students to seek information to keep up with global changes using mobile phones. As the last point, it is the lack of self-discipline and struggle awareness that pushes students to kill time through cellphone reading, which also may result from college students’ maladjustment to having too much free time dominated by themselves.
On balance, the advantages of mobile reading outweigh the disadvantages. Suppose that students are armed with intelligent discretion, they are supposed to bypass the potential drawbacks of cellphone reading.
如果不是 “某大学学生手机阅读目的调查 ”的饼状图，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体而言，学习时间的比例在各类人群中达到顶峰，约为 59.5%。与此同时，消磨时间的比例则位居第二，占 21.3%。
其根本原因可以阐述如下。首先，随着技术的不断发展，个人获取丰富知识的途径也变得越来越便捷，这促使学生在课上和课下都使用智能手机进行学习。此外，人类进入了一个全新的历史阶段，信息流动越来越快，这也促使学生使用手机寻求信息，以跟上全球的变化。最后一点，正是由于缺乏自律和奋斗意识，才促使学生通过手机阅读来打发时间，这也可能是大学生不适应由自己支配的空闲时间过多造成的。
综合来看，手机阅读利大于弊。假设学生有了智慧的判断力，他们理应绕开手机阅读的潜在弊端。

online meeting
Directions :
Suppose you are organizing an online meeting. Write an e-mail to Jack, an internationalstudent, to
1）invite him to participate, and
2）tell him the details.
You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.
Do not use your own name. Use “Li Ming”instead.
My essay：
Dear Jack,
I’m excited to share some good news that we will hold an online meeting on Chinese culture you are interested in, and I hope you can attend.
The meeting will take place as scheduled next Saturday night via the Zoom. And at the beginning, Professor Wang, who has extensive knowledge of Chinese culture, will give a brief introduction to the main topics. After Wang finishes his speech, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions or share some of your thoughts. Additionally, you will meet other international students, making it a great chance to connect with like-minded peers.
I will send you the link to the meeting soon. We would be very pleased if you could accept our invitation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

exercise method
Were it not for the bar chart from a survey about exercise methods among residents in a certain city, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, percentage of exercise alone has peaked among all categories, at approximately 54.3%. Meanwhile, the proportion of exercise with friends is the second highest, occupying 41.7%.
The fundamental factors would be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with exercise alone is a unique mental and emotional experience that allows individuals to focus on themselves and enjoy time to think. As a result of this experience, which helps people relieve stress and improve their will-being, residents tend to exercise alone. Meanwhile, in the process of fitness, it is inevitable that one may slack off when exercising alone, highlighting the importance of mutual supervision as a motivating factor. This is why a considerable number of people choose to exercise with friends. As the last point, only 23.6% of people exercise with their families, which may be due to exercise being not a part of the whole family’s daily routine or they live apart from their family.
On balance, no matter which way to choose, what suits you the best is most important. Exercise doesn’t depend on who you do it with, instead of persevere.
如果不是某市居民运动方式调查的柱状图，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体而言，单独运动的比例在各类人群中达到顶峰，约为 54.3%。同时，与朋友一起运动的比例位居第二，占 41.7%。
根本原因阐述如下。首先，单独运动是一种独特的精神和情感体验，它能让人专注于自己，享受思考的时间。这种体验有助于人们缓解压力，提高意志品质，因此居民倾向于独自锻炼。同时，在健身的过程中，一个人锻炼难免会有懈怠的时候，这就凸显了相互监督这一激励因素的重要性。这也是相当多的人选择与朋友一起锻炼的原因。最后一点，只有 23.6%的人与家人一起锻炼，这可能是由于锻炼不是全家人的日常活动，或者他们与家人分居两地。
总之，无论选择哪种方式，最适合自己的才是最重要的。运动不在于和谁一起做，而在于坚持。

Suppose you are planning a campus food festival, Write an email to the international students in your university to
1）introduce the food festival, and
2）invite them to participate.
You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.

My essay：

express variation
Were it not for the bar chart showing the variation in Chinese express volume from 2018 to 2020, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, the total express volume remarkably augmented from 51 billion in 2018 to 83 billion in 2020. Meanwhile, the volume of rural express also steadily increased from 12 billion in 2018 to 30 billion in 2020.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with the growing economic development is the improvement of living standards, providing many individuals with the financial means to purchase various items online, which is the main reason why the express volume increased so rapidly. Meanwhile, urbanization has entered a completely new stage with significant convenience to rural areas, creating more opportunities for rural residents to shop online. That is the major reason why the volume of rural express has slightly increased. As the last point, the unbalanced development between urban and rural areas may explain the differing extent of express growth.
On balance, this trend, against the context of economic boom in China, will probably become dominant in the foreseeable future.
如果不是柱状图显示了 2018 年至 2020 年中国快递量的变化，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体而言，快递总量从 2018 年的 510 亿件显著增加到 2020 年的 830 亿件。同时，农村快递量也从 2018 年的 120 亿件稳步增长到 2020 年的 300 亿件。
其根本原因可以阐述如下。首先，与经济日益发展相伴的是生活水平的提高，为许多人提供了网购各种物品的经济能力，这是快递量快速增长的主要原因。与此同时，城镇化进入全新阶段，极大地方便了农村地区，为农村居民网购创造了更多机会。这也是农村快递量略有增长的主要原因。最后一点，城乡发展不平衡可能是快递增长幅度不同的原因。
总的来说，在中国经济蓬勃发展的背景下，这一趋势在可预见的未来可能会成为主流。

health literacy
Were it not for the line chart showing the variation of health literacy level among Chinese residents from 2012 to 2021, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, the proportion of health literacy augmented remarkably from 8.8% to 25.4%.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, coincident with the rapid economic development is the growing pursuit for high-quality life, encouraging many individuals, if not most, to accumulate expertise for maintaining self-health. Meanwhile, the human race has entered a completely new stage with rapid flow of information, which offers the opportunities to catch the useful message from a wealth of data and drivers people to make correct decisions. As the last point, health literacy will equip us with abundant life skills and long-term vision in ourselves - two essential qualifications those who yearn for self-health are bound to possess.
On balance, this trend, against the context of the economic boom in China, will probably become dominant in the foreseeable future.
如果没有 2012 年至 2021 年中国居民健康素养水平变化的折线图，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽视：具体而言，健康素养比例从 8.8%大幅提升至 25.4%。
其根本原因可归结为以下几点。首先，伴随着经济的快速发展，人们对高品质生活的追求不断提高，促使许多人甚至大多数人积累起维护自身健康的专业知识。同时，人类进入了一个全新的阶段，信息快速流动，人们有机会从大量的数据中捕捉到有用的信息，从而做出正确的决策。最后一点，健康素养将使我们具备丰富的生活技能和长远的自我愿景–这是渴望自我健康的人必然具备的两项基本素质。
综合来看，在中国经济蓬勃发展的背景下，这一趋势很可能在可预见的未来占据主导地位。

1）put forward your plan, and
2）ask for his opinion.
Write your answer in about l00 words on the ANSWER SHEET.

My essay：
Dear Jack,
I am delighted to hear that we are going to do a survey on the protection of old house in an ancient town.Here’s the preliminary plan：
Initially, I have a penchant for meeting with you at 8 am on Sunday at the Student Center, then we may take a bus to the destination. Additionally, it is an immutable fact that we should collect some data on the condition of old houses and select meaningful statistics that are beneficial for us to protect those houses. But we should be careful and not destruct other constructions, which is of overriding importance.
Finally, if you have any other opinions, feel free to reach out to me. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,

首先，我打算周日上午 8 点在学生活动中心与您会面，然后我们一起乘车前往目的地。另外，我们应该收集一些关于老房子状况的数据，选择一些对我们保护老房子有利的有意义的数据，这是不变的事实。但是，我们应该小心谨慎，不要破坏其他建筑，这才是最重要的。
最后，如果您还有其他意见，请随时联系我。期待您的早日回复。

labor courses
Were it not for the bar chart from a survey about the benefits of labor exercise courses among students in a certain university, those thought-provoking statistics would be disregarded: Specifically, learning related knowledge peaked in all those categories, at approximately 91.30%. Meanwhile, enhancing hand ability was only slightly lower, occupying 84.80%.
The fundamental factors may be expounded as follows. Initially, teachers have a penchant for imparting some useful knowledge to students so that they are more likely to perform well, developing a deeper understanding of practical skills. Additionally, the crux of the matter is that the courses feature various and meaningful projects, including sowing contests and cooking competitions, aimed at fostering students’ creativity and practical abilities. As the last point, it is an immutable fact that many students feel challenged by struggling with their transition to college-level course, prompting them to accept this labor course as an effective way to relieve their stress and find their balance.
In the same way that the breezes from a butterfly’s wing in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, we must attach high importance to this situation since there might be huge consequences.
如果不是某大学学生劳动锻炼课程收益调查的柱状图，这些发人深省的数据可能会被忽略：具体来说，学习相关知识的比例在所有类别中最高，约为 91.30%。与此同时，动手能力的提高则略低，占 84.80%。
其根本原因可归纳如下。首先，教师总是希望向学生传授一些有用的知识，使他们更容易取得好成绩，从而加深对实践技能的理解。此外，最关键的是，课程设有各种有意义的项目，包括播种比赛和烹饪比赛，旨在培养学生的创造力和实践能力。最后一点，许多学生在过渡到大学课程的过程中都会遇到困难，这是不争的事实，这也促使他们接受这门劳动课，将其作为缓解压力、寻找平衡的有效途径。
就像日本的蝴蝶翅膀吹起的微风，最终可能会在加利福尼亚掀起滔天巨浪一样，我们必须高度重视这种情况，因为它可能会带来巨大的后果。
