【经典范文】 Telling Lies
Telling lies is usually looked upon as an evil, because some people try to get benefit from dishonest means or try to conceal their faults.
However,_I_thinkdespitejits_neg1ative_effects,jsometimes_itjisjessentialto iemigsinour_dailylifei First, the liar may benefit from the lie by escaping from the pressure of unnecessary embarrassment. Meanwhile, the listener may also feel more comfortable by reasonable excuses. For example, if a little girl’s father died in an accident, her mother would comfort her by saying “farther has gone to another beautiful land”. In such cases, a lie with original goodwill can make the cruel nice. Second^thejsk^lsjofJtellingJlies^jtojsome extent,canbe_regard_asja_capacity_ofcreationandjimagination.

【译文赏析】 说谎
说谎通常被视为罪恶,因为一些人试图通过不诚实的手段或对自身 缺点的掩盖,从而获利。
然而,我认为尽管有其消极影响,但有时在我们的日常生活中,说 谎是不可避免的。首先,说谎者能借谎言免去一些不必要的尴尬所带来 的压力。同时,听众也会因合理的借口而感到更加自在。例如,如果一 个小女孩的父亲在一次意外中丧身,她的母亲就会安慰她说:“爸爸去 了另一个美丽的世界。”在这样的例子中,善意的谎言能化残酷为美好。 其次,说谎的技巧从某种程度而言可被视为一种创造力和想象力。
因此,综上所述,我们能够得出结论:谎言是否有害,这取决于它 的意图以及最终带来的后果。

【经典范文】 On Online Chatting
With the development of IT, online chatting is becoming increasingly popular with many people.
However, people’s opinions about it vary from person to person. Some think that it has more problems than benefits. First, it is a waste of time, energy and money as it doesn’t produce any useful information and products. Second, it is misleading to its users because cyberspace is actually an imaginary space where things are unreal or fictional.
But the advocates of online chatting support it because it is another way of recreation which is both exciting and relaxing. Besides, it helps them release their emotions and worries freely and safely. To them, it is very useful and wonderful.
As far as I am concerned, whether online chatting is good or bad depends on the person who does it.

【经典范文】 Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents
Though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day thousands of people all over the world are killed or horribly mutilated on the roads just because of traffic accidents.
This situation is mainly due to the following two reasons. In the first place, the drivers are becoming less aware of social morality. When they are sitting behind a steering wheel, they totally forget the traffic laws which should be complied with. In the second place, the surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the peace breakers and seems to condone their behavior. As the transportation develops, cities become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic and the countryside is destroyed by the complicated road networks.

A Petition Letter
July 7, 2010
Dear Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next semester. I would prefer a single room、as I find the present arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain the reasons for my dissatisfaction is my roommates’ inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, their friends are constantly visiting them and they regularly hold noisy parties. For another, they sometimes use my things without asking permission. Under these circumstances』I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies.
I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own, where I will be free from such distractions. Therefore, I would begrate if you could findasingleroomjorme,_preferablynotinjthe same.bui^ling.but.stilloncamfius.
【译文赏析】 请愿书亲爱的女士:
我写信是为了向您汇报,我下学期希望搬入新寝室。我更喜欢住单 间,因为我发现目前的安排十分不便。
我有必要解释一下,我的不满是由于室友们不考虑他人感受的行为。 一方面,他们的朋友经常来访,而且隔段时间就会举办喧哗的派对。另 一方面,他们时常未经允许就使用我的东西。在这样的条件下,我发现 很难集中精力学习。
我确信您也会认同,对我而言唯一的解决方案就是自己住单间,在 那儿我不会受到任何侵扰。因此,如果您能为我找一个小单间,房间最 好还是在校内但不是同一栋楼,我将感激不尽。
