一些学生认为学英语很重要；一些学生则认为不必学英语；我认为。。。。。。（观点、理由）
Some students think it is very important to master English. They believe “A foreign language
is a weapon in the struggle of life”, Others consider English useless. They feel learning English is
nothing but a burden to them.
In my opinion, English is one of the most important subjects we learn at school. Of all subjects
I like English best.
There are several reasons why English is my favorite subject.
First, English is one of the most widely used languages of the world. Nearly all information
on the Internet and over half of the world’s technical materials are in English, thus a good
command of English will greatly benefit me in my work. Secondly，it is believed that good
English also leads to greater chances and opportunities. In the competition for a well-paid job, the
one who can speak English has an advantage over those who cannot.
For all these reasons we should not only learn English but master it in the shortest time
possible. (166words)

An Unforgettable Lesson
In my life I have experienced many important things. But perhaps the most unforgettable
thing which is really worth mentioning is the lesson given by my Chinese teacher just after she
had an accident.
One morning just before our Chinese lesson, we were told our Chinese teacher, Miss Liu, had
had an accident. One of her legs was badly injured and she couldn’t come to teach us. While we
were planning to visit her after school, we also thought that maybe we would be free to do
whatever we wanted during our Chinese lesson, and hoped our homework load would be reduced.
But to our surprise, shortly after the bell, Miss Liu, with the help of a stick, came to the door of
our classroom. With great respect w all stood up and greeted her.
She sat on a chair and began her lesson. She spoke slowly but forcefully. She prepared her
lecture quite well and demanded that we do the same. Towards the end of the lesson, we got lots of
homework from her.
A good teacher is many things to many people. Everyone has definite ideas about what a good
teacher is. In my opinion the teachers who demanded the most from the students are perhaps liked
best. (210 words)

请你谈谈轿车大量进入家庭后，对家庭、环境和经济可能产生的影响。
Nowadays the number of people who own private cars is on the rise. Like everything else,
private cars have both favorable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the favorable aspects can be
listed as follows.
First, private cars can bring convenience and mobility to owners. A car allows a person to
move comfortably and safely as well as quickly and freely. Because my family owns a car, we are
able to make extensive journeys every year. Therefore, I believe the tourist industry in China
will develop more quickly with the increase in the number of private cars. Secondly, if more
people buy cars, the automobiles industry will develop dramatically. What’s more, the growth of
the automobile industry can trigger the boom of other important and related industries such as iron
and steel production, energy and technological application.
Every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. To begin with, too many
cars will give rise to a series of problems, such as serious environmental pollution and more traffic
accidents. In addition, the driver may have drive around and around looking for available parking
spaces.
Through above analysis, we can see that private cars should be restricted rather than
encouraged. (199 words)

2002年的作文题提供了一幅图片，图片上女儿在学骑自行车。奶奶、父亲和一手拿着急救
箱的母亲三人满头大汗地扶着车，深怕女儿摔着了。图片下面有一行字：你们让我骑好吗？
简述图片内容，结合生活实际，就图片的主题谈谈自己的感想。
Duo to the one-child policy in China, most families have only one child and therefore this child is
regarded as the treasure of the whole world family. Both the parents and grandparents usually over
indulge the child.
We can see in the picture, When a child is learning to ride a bicycle, the parent and the
grandparent are sweating from running alongside the bike and are trying their best to protect the
child for fear that they should fall and hurt themselves.
We all know the greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. So
I think, for the parents, they should be aware of the negative effect too much pampering has on
their child. Under the parents’ protection, the child knows only comfort and ease. If they don’t
learn how to live independently, how can they cope with the adversities which they will meet in
the future?
For the children, they should let their parents know that they have confidence in themselves
and are able to exist in the competitive community without the constant watchful eye of an eager
parent.
The path to success is filled with various kinds of difficulties and obstacles. Only when we
have learned to stand on our own two feet, can we survive in the 21st century. (219 words)

Dear Xu Haiqing,
You said in your letter that many of your classmates were wearing fashionable clothes, but you couldn’t afford to buy the best brands. So you felt very depressed. There are different views on people’s wear. The following are my ideas about it.
Firstly, you shouldn’t put too much emphasis on physical appearance. You must always remember the most important task for you today is to concentrate your attention on your studies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when you come out first in your examinations.
A famous saying goes, “Frugality is the mother of virtue.” So, secondly, you must understand that it is a fine virtue to learn live in frugality. Since your family is not able to provide you with enough money to buy clothes of the best brands, it is all the more necessary for you to try every means to lighten the financial burden of your family. You will find the virtue of frugality will benefit you a lot in your later life.
I hope you understand what I mean. I am sure you will take a positive attitude towards life and will be happy again when you read my letter. (205 words)

老师要求你负责班级墙报（wall-newspaper)工作并征求你的意见。在日记中表述你的决定并谈谈想法。
Today Miss Wang asked me to be in charge of the wall newspaper of our class. I was so glad at that. But now I don’t know whether I should accept the task or not.
Though I have been in Class 4 for nearly two years, I have hardly done anything for it. I think it will be a good opportunity to devote my efforts to class if I take the job. On the other hand, I’m good at drawing. The job will also provide me with a good chance to show my talent.
However, I know that taking the job means having less time to relax and study. Perhaps it will take me several days to complete an excellent wall newspaper. Perhaps it will affect my studies as well. Perhaps…
No! No! No! I should believe my ability. I can get everything arranged well: relaxing, study, wall newspaper… It will be an hour for me to do something for my class. I want to be a person who is glad to challenge himself.
Now, I’ve decided I’ll accept the job. I’ll tell my decision to Miss Wang tomorrow. (187)

古人云：“天生我材必有用”（There must be a use for my talent）。 通过描述你
生活中一件事，说明人各有所长，无论才能大小都能成为有用的人。
There is an old English saying that there must be use for my talent. I have regarded it as my motto for many years. From my point of view, there is no difference between one person and another. With some useful talent, you will make your contributions to this society.
When I was ten years old, there was an old man living at the corner of xx Road. He didn’t have the opportunity to study in school, but he learned how to make wood furniture. Every time people went to ask him to solve some problems of furniture, he was willing to help them.
To my surprise, in his spare time, he would make some toys with small piece s of wood. Some of them were sold to the toy store and others were given to us. The moment I see the lovely toys made by this old man, I would remember the happy childhood.
From this old man, we can see whatever kind of talent you have, you can find your own method to display your talent. The most important factor is your confidence. If you believe that there must be a use for my talent, you will succeed. (200 words)

I dream to become an astronaut. Two universities in China can make my dream become true. They are both very good, but I can only choose one.
From the Internet, I learned that there are more advantages offered by the northern university than the ones by the southern one. For example, the fee charged by the northern one is lower. And it will add 20 marks while the southern university will not. In contrast, the southern university’s good point is that it enrolls more students.
After comparing the above information, I think I will choose the northern university for the following reasons. Firstly, my parents may not be able to afford my study and living expenses. Secondly, an addition of twenty marks is certainly an irresistible attraction. More importantly, four years of independent life in the north will obviously help develop my personality required as an astronaut.

Hello! I’m Li Ming, a student from Mingqi High School of Shanghai. As I’ve always been interested in charity, I’m writing to you in the hope that I could be given the 2,000-yuan fund to carry out my project to help children in poverty-stricken areas.
My poverty-relief program is divided into three parts. In the initial stage, I’ll try to purchase textbooks for subjects such as English and Maths. Given that new books are usually expensive, I’ll be on the look-out for good-quality second-hand books. The second stage of my program is to recruit high school students who have a strong desire to help pupils in poor areas. Surely they should be armed with relative knowledge to be qualified teachers. Lastly, we will set out for primary schools, which are selected and contacted in advance, to carry out our program.
As to how to allocate the money, I’d like to use 1,000 for textbooks, and the rest to pay for the travelling fee of volunteers.
I am looking forward to your reply, thanks!
Yours,
Li Ming

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I’ve just learned that Shanghai Museum will hold a famous painting exhibition and you’re responsible for collecting public suggestions about the best location to hold it. I’m writing this letter to share with you my opinions. As far as I’m concerned, it is more reasonable to hold the painting exhibition in Shanghai Museum than in community libraries. My reasons are as follows. On the one hand, it is more convenient for people to reach Shanghai Museum, located in the center of the city. Visitors can go there by subway, by bus and so on. What’s more, Shanghai Museum is much more extensive than community libraries, providing visitors with a more comfortable environment to appreciate the famous paintings.
On the other hand, Shanghai Museum, a well-known and distinguished museum both at home and abroad, is more professional in holding painting exhibitions. What’s of great significance is that not only does it provide advanced facilities and high-tech monitors but also offers
professional security guards to protect those famous paintings from being damaged or stolen in the process of exhibition.
Consequently, I strongly propose that the painting exhibition is to be held in the Shanghai Museum.
Yours,
Wang Min

The accelerate spread of computer games construct an unreal world which cause the students’ addiction to the virtual world. might cause isolation and depression feeling about life. I strongly propose that it would be better to add fashion and abandon entertainment.
2008年上海高考作文及范例 你班将组队参加学校组织的集体舞比赛（group dancing cooipetition)，班长希望大家积极参加。对此谈谈你的看法。 你的文章必须包括以下内容：
·你是否会参加比赛
·你做出该决定的具体理由
Version 1:
A group dancing competition will be held in our school and the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in it. While most of my classmates are still hesitating whether to participate, I have said yes to our monitor with great pleasure.
Generally speaking, there are two reasons for my decision. First, it is a good opportunity for me to relax myself, which will enable me to study more efficiently. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so goes the saying, which clearly shows us the importance of relaxation. Besides, I think I am a good dancer after learning dance for more than five years. Participating in the contest will be a golden chance for me to show my dancing skills and make some contributions to the class.
For the two reasons mentioned above, it is no surprise that I have such a strong enthusiasm on the group dancing competition.

As is described in the picture, a group of foreign students are raising their hands to give answers to the question in a joyful and active way. The purpose of the picture is to show us how active the class performance is in the foreign country. Compared with the class performance in local China, the difference is quite obvious. We Chinese students stay quiet in class, keep taking notes and listen to what teacher is talking in a careful way. I ask myself what causes lead to the phenomenon? Why class performance of Chinese students is quite different from that of foreign students? Possible reasons can be listed as follows. Most important of all, education system in China is the key reason. The first day we become the primary student, our teachers tell us to obey the rules in class. We put our hands back and stay quiet in class. Lecture-model teaching is the traditional way in Chinese class. Teacher is the leading actor or actress and student is always the supporting roles. Gradually we get into the habit of staying quiet in class and lose the ability to raise questions and give the answers. The second point to be mentioned is that Chinese students hold different attitudes toward study. In our minds, we always think what we should learn instead of how we should learn knowledge in a smart way. We behave us as a passive listener, but foreign student act as a active learner. As a saying goes, it is better to teach to fish rather than give a fish. Taking what has been discussed above into account, there is no doubt that we need to think it over whether we are supposed to be a leaner or a quiet listener.
2012年上海高考英语作文题目 上周一，你在一所小学观摩了小女孩Amy所在班级的两堂绘画课（如图所示），回家后你用英语写了一篇日记，
内容包括： ● 对两堂绘画课的具体描述； ● 你从中获得的启发。
2012年上海高考英语作文范文
Today I had an unusual experience , which refreshed my mind. With pupils I spent two periods of time in a primary school, watching them learn how to paint. A little girl named Amy, one student of the class, left me a deep impression with her unique painting.
In the first lesson the teacher required the pupils to paint freely. Namely , in any way they could draw whatever they’d like to. Amy was the first one to have a try. I saw her think for a little while, take off her shoes, then dip her feet slightly into the paint/ink. Much to my surprise, in a flash she managed to make a nice design on a broad piece of white paper/blanket with both of her feet. What happened next, various of types of works painted by other children appearing before my eyes one by one ,kept me laughing with joy and amusement.
Following a break, the second class began. smiling ,the teacher made a brief comment, which was full of praise as well as appreciation. After that ,she gave the students some guidance about the traditional way of painting. With her teachers’ words in mind , Amy practiced again.
Painting-brush in hand ,she sat a desk properly/straight ,paying full attention to her work. This time，with ease and excitement she drew some birds flying high in the sky /sun.
Looking back at the two ways of giving a class, I have to admit the teacher was well worth following in matters of cultivating “flowers” in the spirit of originality. Given that children are of great imagination and elasticity in their growth , they are supposed to be given as many chances and opportunities as possible in the course of being educated so as to develop their potential to the full. Were the young always confined to the established ways of doing things without a free
world ,one that is also longed for by the ambitious birds drawn by Amy , how can we expect the next generation our civilized nation would be more innovative and creative ?
