Some people are committed to their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals. What is guiding them is akind of illusion.Some people think that illusion is good for success while others argue that it is not sogood because it may get people unrealistic.As far as I am concerned， illusion is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic.
There are several reasons.First of all，there is power in illusion. The illusion can lead people to thepath they want to go on and it gives us passion. We need to live each moment wholeheartedly，with all our senses so that we can find pleasure in the fragrance of backyard garden， the crayoned picture of a six-year-old，and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow.The illusion can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes，a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.
Secondly，we are born with wide-eyed，enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.It is this childlike wonder and illusion that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air，no matter how old they are. For example，the famous cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach.As the music flowed through his fingers，his stooped shouldrs would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes.Music，for him，was an elixir that made life a never-ending adventure.As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote，“Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
Lastly， people with illusions also love what they do，regardless of money or power or title.If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career，we can as do a part-time vocation，like the head of state who paints，the nun who runs marathons and the executive who handcrafts furniture.We cannot afford to waste tears and energy and time on “might-have-beens”.We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”.
To sum up，God gives each bird its food，but he does not throw it into its nest.Wherever you want to go，just cherish your precious illusion and let your dream be realized.
In this competitive society，people cannot avoid the stress from the bustle and hustle of modern life.Appropriate pressure is the motivation for our progress，while too much stress will have harmful effects on our health and work.We cannot avoid it，so we must learn deal to with it properly.
In the first place，it is important to have a correct understanding about stress.We are now in a world where the fittest will survive，and it’s better to ensure survival than being defeated.But to individuals， the social environment will not change.We have to realize both the positive and negative aspects of stress.It is like a double-edged sword，which may be used by us，or may hurt us.The key point is whether you hold the blade or the handle. We can take it as a motive force for us to make progress，makefull use of it and avoid being hurt by it.
In the second place，people have to adjust their own mood and mentality.We should say to ourselves thatI like challenges and I am strong，but never think I am a loser or I cannot stand that any more.The positive hint will change your attitude，and then affect the result of your behavior.And it is also of great importance to cherish what you have got.The common weak point of the human being is that he longs forwhat he cannot get，but does not value and protect what he has at the moment.Most people are thinking about how to own more，such as social status，power，honor and so on.
At last the more they want，the more pressure they get.If they can give something up，they will feel better.Finally，some practical measures can help us to handle stress in our life.Having a plan on the career， increasing the competitiveness and learning to control your time will do much help to reduce the stress.It is advisable to separate work from life.Work hard when you are at work and have a good rest when you are free.In other words，there must be a boundary.
To sum up，the stress in our life is inevitable，and we must learn to handle it effectively. We must have a right understanding about it，try our best to adjust our own mentality and use practical ways to reduce it.
Some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home. Often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have. Those with very busy jobs outside the house don’t always have time to cook. They like the convenience of eating out. Overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home.
While eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spend can add up. When I have dinner at restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars. I can buy a lot of groceries with that much money. Even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one person. That’s enough to feed the whole family at home.
Eating at home is better for you, too. Meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food--much more food than you need to eat at one meal. If you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients. You can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza. At home, you can control your portion size. You can serve yourself as little as you want. In a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food "because you paid for it".
It’s true that eating out is convenient. You don’t have to shop, or cook, or clean up. But real home cooking doesn’t have to take a lot of time. There are lots of simple meals that don’t take long to make. In fact, they’re faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spend driving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home.
Both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying. Both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends. I prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best.
Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
As a student having received many years of education, I’m both nicely surprised and gratified by the term“class rights”. This educational concept challenges the traditional education rules, and can be considered as a revolution in classroom teaching. And my favor goes to the abandoning of previous rigid disciplines.
First of all, class rights actually cater to natural physiological needs and basic legal rights of learners. Students’ drinking water and going to bathroom during class used to be denied due to class disciplines previously adopted. And this practice is against human rights, according to western educators. It can be regarded as an improvement that we have taken care of these basic human needs. Schools and teachers used to stress students’ obligations to observe school regulations, but tend to ignore their class rights. Students, though young in age, are inalienable part of human, it was unreasonable for them to have obligations but no rights.
Secondly, the classroom is not only a place for knowledge transfer, but also a place of humanity education. As independent individuals, children should be respected in class. Only when their status as human individuals is valued, can they grow up healthily in a sound educational environment. The caring for class rights implies the principle of equality, democracy and mutual respect, thus encouraging the students’ thinking and stimulating their creativity. Therefore, old-fashioned school discipline can no longer keep up with current situation. Respecting students’ class rights means not only permitting them to drink water or go to bathroom during class, but also encourage them to think, to speak out, to practice what is learned, to communicate and to give them enough opportunities to express themselves. They can question what teachers teach, make their options in doing teachers’ assignment, or refuse to answer teachers’ questions in class. In this way, they can fully enjoy their school experience.
Whether the class rights are scientific or not, the move itself is valuable and significant. If these class rights can be translated into legislation and become legal principle, then students’ rights would be well protected. The education circle should not only recognize these class rights, but also put them into actual practice.

In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.
Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
Should We Put a Limit on Private Cars?
Is it helpful to build an honest and clean government by a fund for incorruptible civil servants? Such an issue has aroused controversy among the public. Proponents believe the innovative move will help to fight against corruption and build a clean government. Opponents say that being clean is an official’s obligation and duty and there is therefore no need to reward them with additional funds. Personally, I’d like to express my disapproval on this question.
First of all, to establish an accumulation fund for clean officials is in fact a challenge to social justice. Public servants should work diligently in an honest and clean way and abide by laws and regulations when performing their duties. That is the basic requirement for them. Any official who fails in this sense does not deserve the position of a public servant. Extra pay for clean public servants will naturally damage the image of public servants in the eyes of ordinary people. In addition, it will play a negative role in their professional work ethics. When public servants are rewarded for what they should do, what about clean doctors, teachers, lawyers, policemen? Obviously such a policy is not well-grounded.
Secondly, the most unfair part about the reserve fund is that it infringes upon the interests of taxpayers who contribute to public servants’ salary in the first place. It’s God’s truth that officials should work for the taxpayers’ interests. But to sustain such a fund system, a large number of workers and farmers will have to pay more for what public servants are supposed to do. As for the reserve fund, only when the amount of the award comes to a tempting figure can it restrain corruption to a certain degree. However, it is impossible to raise such an enormous fund only from their welfare fund. So, the fund is actually a disguised form of reward to public servants through taking advantage of fiscal revenue.
Relatively speaking, public servants are well paid for their service, so it is not rational to raise such a fund of reward. What we can do is to strengthen supervision mechanisms, so as to effectively track down and punish corrupted officials and let them pay higher costs for their behavior. In addition, to fundamentally minimizing the corruption phenomenon in the government, we should take effective measures to put a limit on their power in an attempt to provide fewer opportunities to abuse power.
Owing to economic development and improvement in living standards of common people, more and more private cars are on road. Some believe private cars have brought convenience and mobility to the owners while others argue that private automobiles deserve a limit on the increasing number. As far as I see it, we should not put a limit on private cars.
First of all, the private car is a symbol of freedom and wealth. The private car has given us a freedom and convenience our ancestors could not dream of. We can travel to relatively remote places that it is hard to reach on foot or public transport rarely goes to. A car enables an individual or a family to travel at any time they wish. With a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the bitterly cold or under the scorching sun. Furthermore a car can serve as a symbol of one’s wealth, which makes him or her proud of his or her accomplishments and glorious past.
Secondly, a car can make our work more efficient and life more convenient. Nowadays many Chinese can enjoy the comfort and luxury of owning a private car. Having a car of one’s own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains; no more waste of time for waiting at the bus stop or train station. With a car one does not have to worry about the possible danger their child suffers when they are elbowing their way through the crowd, instead they can drop off the children at school on the way to work. In the case of illness, the car takes its owner or other sick person to hospital without any delay.
Last but not least, lifting bans on private cars will stimulate the automobile industry, which provides jobs for a large team of workers. Known as a sunrise industry, Chinese automobile industry needs strong and continuous fueling from domestic demand. If more people buy cars, the industry will embrace continued growth, thus contributing more to the national economy. Moreover, its growth will trigger the boom of related industries like iron and steel production and energy.
In conclusion, the advantages of private cars convince us that we should not put a limit on the number of private cars. What we should do at the moment is to perfect the transport infrastructure to ensure private cars to go faster and more safely.

你肯定买过彩票吧！有的人中了1元，有的人中了5元，有的人甚至还中了5万元。
而你看我1分钱都没中过，告诉你事情是这样的：有一天，我去理发，在回来的路上我看到一家彩票店，我灵机一动，心想：要是直接和爸爸说我要买彩票，他肯定不会同意，要不对他采取“拍马屁”，试一试吧！于是我就开始了“拍马屁”。
哈！爸爸同意了，我们一起走进了彩票店，在彩票店里，我看见了“福利彩票之双色球”。
我奇怪地问：“老爸，福利彩票是什么？”爸爸耐心地解释道：“福利彩票是通过我们把买彩票的钱，集中起来后大部分再捐给那些需要帮助的人，是一种公益活动。
”开始选号了，爸爸告诉我，红色球有1到33号，必须挑选出6个号码，蓝色球1号到16号，必须选出1个号码。
爸爸刚说完，我就开始选号了，最终挑选的红色号码是3号、8号、15号、23号、27号、33号，蓝色号码是7号。
虽然我很肯定地认为我能中大奖，但最终还是什么也没中；虽然我没中，但我因帮助了需要帮助的人而开心。
多买一些彩票吧！为需要帮助的人添一份爱心、献一份力！
就字数时间比来看，专八作文难度介于雅思和托福之间；就写作体裁来看，迄今为止，历年真题考的都是议论文；就出题形式来看，都是给出背景和题目的写作；就写作内容来看，考到的基本上都是考生比较熟悉的关于大学生的话题或社会常见话题。
而且文章结构一律规定为三部分：introduction, body 和conclusion. 从这些方面看，专八写作对于学习英语专业达到三年或四年的学生来说并不是特别难的事。
但每年仍有为数不少的考生失利，令人惋惜。
笔者认为，要考好专八作文，应从以下几个方面入手。
首先，必须对以上提到的对作文部分的要求做到充分了解，按照要求写作。
有些同学由于轻视，只根据考试前自己看到的一些其他考试的英语写作模版（如大学英语六级或研究生入学考试英语写作模版）来对付八级，结果与考试要求的文章结构和字数不符，造成严重失分。
其次，必须在考前的一段时间做严格的限时应试练习，以保证在考场上时间比较紧张的情况下发挥出自己真正的水平。
通过练习，主要是提高自己两个方面的素质：一是进行逻辑思维的素质。
与大学英语四、六级、考研以及专业四级考试不同，专八写作要求的字数更多，更体现思维的深度和广度，因此必须通过练习来促使自己提高逻辑思维的速度和质量。
我固然会在课堂上教给大家一些常见的思维方法，如分类法、反证法、举例法、因果法等等，但更具体的素材需要大家平时去积累。
其实如果没有考试，大家是会比较懒惰的，懒于去梳理自己的思维，形成比较成熟的观点。
我们在这里且不多提考试的好处，关键的是我们可以以备考为契机，通过练习来提高思考的速度，并且更重要的是养成一种勤于思考、广泛涉猎的习惯，去关心家事、国事、天下事。
这样考试的时候才会有话可说，字数才会够。
另外一个是应用英语语言的素质。
有些同学不愁没话说，思维也很有广度和深度，但英语语言还是存在问题。
这里面有一部分同学是重视不够，忽视了语法问题，出现了不少诸如单复数、冠词、词性等语法错误，甚至还有标点符号错误。
而更多的同学是由于缺乏写作练习，在用词和造句方面做得不够好。
作为代表我国英语技能教育最高水平的考试，专八肯定会比国内其他英语考试更加重视语言的质量。
其实也很简单，就是用词和造句的准确性和多样性。
这里的用词准确既包括词义准确，也包括搭配准确，还包括词语的感 *** 彩和正式程度的准确；造句的多样是指多种英语句式的灵活运用。
这要求同学们平时一定要多做辨析词义、熟记搭配的工作，并且模仿优秀的文章进行写作。
除此之外，大家还可以通过多读优秀范文来提高写作水平，除了看一些专八的真题范文外，还可以看看TOFEL,GRE 或IELTS的范文。
另外，也可以经常阅读一些英语报刊，关注一些时事的英文表达。
通过这些准备，相信大家会在专八考试中凯旋！
What kind of happiness is it? Anyone would say that happiness is a wonderful feeling in mood. It's true. Who doesn't need to be happy? I need it all. What is that happiness for me?Happiness is the constant play.Happiness is the game that is not finished.Happiness is a loud cry.Happiness is the singing of all things.Happiness is the endless candy.Happiness is the score of 100 points.Have you ever thought about this? This is the joy we want, an indescribable feeling. At this age of ours, we are constantly playing and going crazy in nature. This is the quickest way to get happiness. When you were young, you could make some friends without knowing anything. You played and played together, and of course you were happy and happy.They all like to play, because it can be fun to play, we are free to understand in the nature, maybe, in the eyes of father and mother, we go out to play is a plaything, but they do not know what we did on earth? We only think that we make some bad things and only judge from the surface. Therefore, we have unwittingly blocked our chances of happiness.I believe everyone likes sweet taste. Sad, it must be sour, relative, that happiness must be sweet. Sometimes, of course, when you are in a bad mood, eat a candy (preferably not chocolate), and feel better. If it is not possible to find a place where nobody is able to vent (notice that there must be no one, otherwise someone else will think you have a problem), calling out all the grievances in your heart, it must be very effective.Another thing is the most important thing. That is achievement. What we are most concerned about now is the score. If it is not good, you will not be happy. The teacher looked for you, the parents looked for you, and asked that. But as long as you get good grades, grades are satisfied, happy, teachers happy, parents happy, then why not?Work hard, happiness es naturally; happiness can happen anytime.
五段式一段开头。
引入话题，提出自己的观点或者回答作文的问题，把自己的观点清楚分条的列出来。
二，三，四段，自己想好支撑整个TOPIC的分论点，每段写一个，三段，一段一百字吧，差不多哈。
可以引用名人名言，这个可以自己编造啊。
A PRO. FROM MIT说过。
等等，对比，列数字，类比，。
五段，总结二三四段，就是说把你的观点PARAPHRASE 一遍。
然后在总结或者提出希望什么的。
然后就是各句各段之间的衔接，用衔接词啊。
要会选词。
这个可以看范文，记一些词语，。
范文里面衔接自然的。
看起来很流畅的可以记一记。
恩。
差不多了。
当然不要写偏题了。
下来还是多练习练习吧PS。
话说你们没买专八作文指导类型的书么。
里面很清楚嘛...

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to go to college. Now I am a freshman of a key university. I have asked myself the same question so many times:Why I go to college? You may say: you go to college just because you want to have a good job after graduation. Well, why I e to college is not for one single reason, but for many. 当我还是个小女孩的时候，我就一直想要读大学。
现在，我已经是一名重点大学的新生了。
我曾经问过我自己同样的问题很多遍：为什么我要上大学？你也许会说：你读大学只是为了找一份好工作。
我读大学只是为了不仅仅是因为这个原因，还有其他原因。
The major reason is that I need to further my education and know more about the outside world. In high school, I was always feeling not enough to get knowledge from the textbooks and I didn't have enough time to travel to see the outside world. But in the college, I have abundant time to read the books I'm interested in and travel to different places to broaden my horizon. 读大学的主要原因是我需要继续深造并更多的了解外面的世界。
在高中，我总是感觉是学习课本上的知识远远不够，而且我也没有很多的时候去旅游。
但是在大学，我拥有足够多的时间去阅读我自己喜欢的书，去不同的地方旅游以此开阔我的眼界。
