Dear Mr. President,
范文：
January 12th, 2002
Dear Mr. President,
I’m very lucky to attend this world-famous university, but I’m afraid I’m not content with the canteen service on campus.
Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year round, they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety.
Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food.
Finally, the environment is so noisy that we can’t enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax.
These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of may other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions.
By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.
Best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Liming

精彩文章现代世界的妇女Women in the Modern World(四级英语作文)（参考）
文章包含以下内容：
1．妇女在现代社会中扮演着越来越重要的角色。
2．随着社会角色的转变，妇女在家庭中地位也得到了改善。
答案文章：
Women are playing an increasingly important part in society today. The tittle when women were only confined to the kitchen and looked after their children at home is gone. Instead, they have gone out their homes and taken up many jobs such as drivers, doctors, scientists and even top managers which used to be dominated by men. Now we can say for sure what men can do is equally done by women. With the changes in their social role,women's position in some families has been improved as well. Today, husbands and wives are equal in their families. They share the housework, make family decisions and make joint efforts to deal with family problems. In other words,they share both sorrows and happiness together. In spite of these, the liberation of women has not been completely realized. In some areas women are still second-class citizens. That husbands are sitting in the armchairs with cigarettes in their hands waiting to be served by their wives is still a common scene. Besides women usually can't enjoy equal pay even if they do the same jobs as men do. All these are unfair. So it is still a long way to go for women to fight for their complete liberation.

No matter what happens, a true friend will never leave you alone and will always be with you.
患难见真情。不幸的是，由于各种各样的原因，现代社会的人们是如此复杂。有时候，我们真的不知道谁是我们真正的朋友。逆境是友谊的试金石。也就是说，在困难的时候，我们很容易测试友谊是真是假。不管发生什么事，一个真正的朋友永远不会让你独自一人，而是永远与你同在。

If there is anyone who still doubts that China is a nation of diligence and bravery, the Long March is definitely one of the most persuasive evidences. Taking a whole year to achieve, suffering all sorts of difficulties, it would be a great miracle in human race.
如果有人对中华民族是一个勤劳，勇敢的国家产生怀疑，长征绝对是最具有说服力的证据。长征在人累进程中是一个奇迹，用一年的时间经历了各种各样的困难取得了成功。
In October, 1934, the Red Army began their march from Ruijin, Jiangxi Province because of the failure of the fifth counter-encirclement. Going westward with unimaginable effort to break through 4 blockade lines, they arrived at Xiang River in December. In the middle January, 1935, after the occupation of Zunyi, the Red Army held the well-known “Zunyi Meeting”, at which Mao Zedong’s leadership was established. Then, they amazingly crossed the Jinsha River which made them cast off the besiegement of KMT. And they went on the march northward, passing through Daliang Mountain, capturing Luding Bridge, and crossing the Jiajin Mountain perennially covered with snow. In the middle of June, the Red Fourth Army was joined forces. Aiming at setting up three more basements, the whole mixed army was divided into two parts to plod through grasslands. Having won several campaigns on the way to north, the Red Army finally got to Wuqi Town, which was the early end of the Long March.

Although this was not the eventual end of the Long March, every step remained in 14 provinces had absolutely reflected the Long-March spirit which would always be the highest expression of the Chinese people's being indomitable and constantly striving to become stronger.
虽然这不是长征最终的结束，但他们留在14省的脚步已经完全反映了长征精神将是中国人民永远百折不挠、自强不息的最好的表达
精彩文章招聘Recruit【推荐】
Nowadays, more andmore university students find it hard to find a good job after graduation. However,the employers also fint it difficult in hiring a suitabale staff at the sametime. Why does this happens? I think there must be something related to thegraduates.
如今，越来越多的大学生发现觉毕业后很难找到一份好的工作。然而，同时雇主也发现招聘合适的员工的很困难。为什么会发生这样的现象呢？我认为肯定与毕业生有关。
First of all, manyemployers find that most students have nothing working experience concerningwith their major. As students’ main job in school is study, employer should notmake too high requirement to them actually. But students should have aninternship before entering the society or at least have a concept about the jobrelated to their specialized subject. Most students know nothing except thetextbook, which makes them feel hard to get start. What’s worse, some graduatesdon’t learn well in school. They neither have experience nor master the theoreticalknowledge. In addition, the majority of students are the little prince andprincess at home. They haven’t suffered any hardship with the protection oftheir parents. As a result, they can’t endure hardship or easily give up whenmeeting difficulties.
首先，许多雇主发现大多数学生没有与他们专业相关的工作经验。在学校学生的主要工作是学习，雇主本不应要求太高。但是学生应该在进入社会之前实习过，或者至少有一个对于专业相关工作的概念。大部分学生除了课本什么都不懂，这让他们很难上手。更糟糕的是，有些学生在学校并没有学习好。他们既没有经验也没有掌握理论知识。此外，大多数学生在家都是小王子和小公主。在父母的保护下他们没有经历过任何困难。因此，他们不能吃苦或遇到困难的时候很容易放弃。
To summarize, thegraduates should try their best to improve themseves to get out theembarrassing situation of finding jobs. That also makes recruiting much moresmoothly. I firmly believe this situation will be better in the future.
总之，毕业生应尽力提升自己来让自己逃离找工作的尴尬局面。这也会使招聘进行得更加顺利。我相信这种情况在未来会变得更好。
精彩文章诚信餐馆Integrity Restaurant
Recently an n integrity restaurant has become a hot topic which arouses a controversial debate. A man run a restaurant without any waiter and people who have dinner here can pay the bill as they want to, if the customer think this meal worth 50 Yuan, then he can put 50 Yuan in the box. However, as the owner keep losing money over 4 months, people begin to think this is the customer’s integrity issue, while I can’t agree with it.
最近有家诚信餐馆成了热点，还引发了不小的争议。有个人开了一家没有服务员的餐馆，在那里用餐的人可以随意付钱，如果客人认为这顿饭值50块，那么他就在箱子里付50块。然而，鉴于老板四个月连续亏损，有人认为这是客人诚信问题所致，但我不同意这个观点。
In the first place, the restaurant didn’t name the price to each dish, which means the owner let the customer evaluate the meal by themselves. That’s make sense that people pay the money for the meal is always lower than the owner’s expectation. Let along the one who don’t pay the bill, as everyone have different values, and most people have no idea about the cost of the dish, it is understandable that customer pay less money than the cost.
第一，这家餐馆没有给每道菜标价，这意味着店家让客人自己估价。那么客人付的钱低于店家的期望就讲得通了。不说那些吃饭不给钱的人，每个人的价值观都不同，很多人也没有每道菜的成本价是多少的观念，客人付的钱低于成本价是可以理解的。
In the second place, the restaurant has on waiter at all which makes the cost lower than a regular restaurant. The customer have to help themselves to have rice and meals, also they need to wash the dish. It makes reasonable that customer pay less money than the owner expected.
第二，这家餐馆没有服务员，那么它的成本也会比常规餐馆低。客人得自己装饭装菜吃，他们还得自己洗碗。那么客人付钱低于店家期望是有理由的了。
To sum up, this is may not be the problem of integrity, but the way of running a restaurant. I believe most people had paid their bills, but they just pay it lower than the cost.
总而言之，这或许不是诚信问题，而是经营餐馆的方式问题。我相信很多人都付了餐费的，只是餐费低于成本而已。
精彩文章机器之心 The Mind of the Machines
Can machines really think? The artificial intelligence, such as a computer that thinks like a human being is scary. Is building a machine that thinks like a human really possible? We are ever closer to building an AI that thinks like a human. When it comes to this issues, different people offer different views, some people think that machine has feelings like human beings is interesting and it may be a better server to human; while the other think it is dangerous, it may causes a revolt.
机械真的会思考么？人工智能，能像人类一样思考的电脑也许很可怕。制造一个能像人一样思考的机器有可能么？我们几乎能够创造一台像人类一样思考的人工智能了。每当说到这个话题，不同的人有不同的见解，有人认为有人一样感情的机器很有趣，也许能够更好的服务人类；然后有些人认为这很危险，有可能会造成叛乱。
People who approved of human feelings machine think that once robot has specific feelings, such as happy, sad, anger, they might be more humanize. For example, maybe in the future a robot nanny will replace a real human nanny, who are work more effective and without any complain. If they have real emotion, they are more perfect, and more like a company but not a cool machine.
赞成人性化机器人的人认为一旦机器人有特殊的感情，像开心，悲伤，愤怒，他们就会越人性化。例如，也许在未来机器保姆会替代人类保姆，它们工作更有效率，毫无怨言。如果他们有真感情，他们就更完美了，更像一个伴侣而不是冰冷的机器。
People who against human robot argue that once the robot is more intelligent than we think, that maybe a great tribulation to human beings. There has a potential risks that once the robot is smart enough, they may unwilling to be human’s server anymore, they may want to be legally citizens, or even worse, to be the owner of the world. It is possible because they are smart and they are stronger compare with human beings.
反对人类机器人的人争辩说一旦机器人的智力超过我们所想的，这对人类来说是个大忧患。这会存在一旦他们足够聪明，他们就不会想继续服务人类，而想成为合法公民的风险，或者更加糟糕，成为世界的主宰。这是有可能的，因为他们聪明而且相对于人类，他们更强壮。
It is not sure what will happen in the future, having robot to serve for human beings is a good thing, but the issue of artificial intelligence is still controversial.
对于未来会发生什么还是不能确定的，有机器人为人类服务是好事，但是人工智能这回事儿，还是有争议的。
精彩文章征婚 Advertising for Marriage（必备）
With the development of informationization, the pace of life in the city speeds up, while human communication becomes superficial and reduced. Therefore, many people attend to find shortcut to find their spouse by advertising on newspaper, TV or Internet. Because they think it saves their time as well as helps them to find their ideal couple. However, as far as I observe, this so-call quick and convenient way may do more harm than good.
随着信息化的发展，城市生活节奏的加快，人际交往变得肤浅和减少。因此，很多人想寻找捷径，通过在报纸，电视或者网络上打广告来寻找他们的配偶。因为他们认为这样不仅节省了时间而且能够帮助他们找到理想伴侣。然而，就我观察来看，这一所谓的快捷方便的方式弊大于利。
First, as we all know that advertisements are tempting but deceptive. In order to attract target customers, the advertisements are full filled with decorated expressions. The advertisement for spouse, with no exception, will either exaggerate their wealth or fabricate their status and identity in order to tempt te prey. For example, an ugly man with bad temper will describe himself as a handsome and even-tempered.
首先，我们都知道，广告是诱人的，但也是骗人的。为了吸引目标顾客，广告的装饰方式琳琅满目。征婚广告也不例外，要么夸大他们的财富或者捏造他们的地位和身份以诱惑猎物。比如，一个又丑脾气又差的男人会把自己描述成帅气而且好脾气的人。
Second, even if you were lucky enough not to get deceived in the beginning and happened to find a spouse through the advertisement, there would still be many problems in later life, because the spouse got in this way may be unstable. Before they know each other, they live in quite different social interactions. They may be different in temper, interests and life styles. Therefore, it's hard for the two to live peacefully together. Besides, marriage is the combination of two families. Except for the two, their families are important factors that have great impacts on their marriage.
其次，即使你一开始很幸运没有被骗，碰巧通过广告找到了伴侣，以后的生活中仍然存在很多问题，因为以这种方式找到的伴侣是不稳定的。在他们了解彼此之前，他们生活在截然不同的社交环境中。他们的脾气，兴趣和生活方式可能会不同。因此，这样的两个人是很难在一起和平生活的。此外，婚姻是两个家庭的结合。除了他们两人外，他们的家庭也是对婚姻产生影响的重要因素。
From the discussions above, it's hard for people to find their spouse through advertisements. What we should do is openour minds and take efforts to manage the solid true love instead of approaching it by chance. Only in this way can we find the most appropriate spouse and experience the most enduring love.
从以上的讨论我们可以看出，通过广告来寻找配偶是很难的。我们应该做的就是打开我们的心灵，努力经营坚实的真爱，而不是偶然接近它。只有这样我们才能找到最适合的伴侣，体验最持久的爱情。
精彩文章Education System 教育体系
College always is the dream of everybody. When children start to enter primary school, they were told to set up the goal to go university one day in the future. You can see how important university to people. But the current college enrollment systems only stick to one rule. That is granting the opportunity according to test scores once a year. If anyone fails in the exam and still wants to go to college, he has to study for a whole and the take part in the test. I think this system is not perfect. It still has many flaws.
上大学是每个人的梦想。当孩子们开始去上小学的时候，他们就被告知要设立将来上大学的目标。可以看出大学对人们来说有多么的重要。但目前高校招生体系只坚持一个原则。那就是抓住一年一次的考试机会。不管是谁考试失败又还想去上大学的话，他就得再准备一年然后再参加考试。我认为这个体系是不完善的。还有许多缺点。
First of all, the system is not good for students’ mental health. Every student just has one chance per year after they have prepared for three years in school. It is too cruel for them. They may have some mental problems if they fail in the exam. Besides, we all know that time is precious. They can do many things in one year. But if they give up the opportunity to go to university after one failure, they will lose the chance to receive higher education.
首先，该体系不利于学生的心理健康。每个学生在学校准备了三年之后每年只有一次机会。这是对他们太残酷了。如果在考试中失败，他们可能会有心理上的问题。此外，我们都知道时间的宝贵。一年他们可以做很多事情。但是如果他们放弃了这个去上大学的机会，他们就会失去接受高等教育的机会。
Secondly, the system is not good to pick up excellent students. As I have mentioned before, people treat this test so important. Some excellent students may drop, because of the excessive stress. Sometimes students can’t show their ability is very normal. After all, no one is perfect. Vice versa, some students who don’t perform well in usual may get a high score in the college entrance exam.
其次，该体系不利于挑选优秀学生。正如我之前提到的，人们把该考试看得很重要。一些优秀的学生可能会因为压力大而失手。有时候学生也会发挥失常。毕竟，人无完人反之亦然，有些学生平时表现不好，却可能在高考中取得高分。
To sum up, the college enrollment systems are not perfect. It needs to be improved. Maybe the testing way or times worth considering change.
综上所述，高校招生制度是不完善的。需要改进。也许考试的方式和次数是值得考虑的。
