I should say that I am highly motivated to master English. First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English. If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot. A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world. Finally, I like literature a lot. If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions. (118 words) Why I hate to learn English I have learned English for about seven years. I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it. First of all, learning English is boring. I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words. Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time. Secondly, I don't understand why we have to learn a foreign language. I don't want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn't need English in China. Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read. So, if I don't have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.

In about 100-120 words, write about a conflict you once had with your parents. You can start with either of the following openings: 1) I was very unhappy with my father the other day. He must have called out to me for help with some housework, but I was so absorbed in reading that I didn't hear him. He stepped into my room, apparently in anger, grabbed my book and threw it on the floor. I got upset and insisted that he should pick it up and apologize to me. When he remained silent, I ran out and went off to play games with my friends in the neighbourhood. When it was turning dark, I saw my father looking around for me. He patted me on the head and walked back home with me, his arm wrapped around my shoulder. When I got home, I saw my book had "returned" to my reading table. (130 words) 2) I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day. I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have a new pair of shoes or some new clothes. Every time I was refused, I played the same trick-threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river. My mother gave in each time I 4 threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard. She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour. I couldn't believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid. I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards. I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes. (139 words) 2. Describe your attitude towards your father or mother when you were a teenager. When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description. My father is a well-known carpenter in my village. I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him so much that I followed him and helped him make furniture for the other villagers. He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge. All the villagers respected him. They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him, saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father. I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.
