［参看范文］
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am a sophomore in Shanghai University, majoring in computer software. In the previous one and a half years I have been a model student and monitor of my class.
However, since I registered here, the expenses have become a burden for my average family. You know, my parents are both laid－off workers, and, to make matters worse, my mother has suddenly fallen ill and is expecting a major operation. It will be beyond their ability to finance me through my remaining education. It is now a must for me to help relieve their financial pressure. So I’m applying to your bank for a loan of 10,000 yuan. If my application is approved, all the money will go to my tuition and fees for the coming academic years.
I’ve made a detailed plan to arrange my school life. A part-time job as a family tutor will not be difficult to find and some work-study programs for students like me are also provided in our university. From these sources I will be able to earn more than enough to support myself. I guarantee that I will repay the loan within five years, that is, within two years after my graduation. Please have confidence in me: I have a very good credit record.
I would be greatly obliged if my application is granted. Many thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

1、提纲式作文冲刺：如何看待在校大学生结婚的问题

［参考范文］
There is a newly dissension putting forward these days: Is it legally allowed for Chinese on-campus students to get married before they complete their courses? Some people prefer "yes" while some others prefer "no". Certainly a large number of people just cannot decide which side they should be stand.
In fact, the governments allow on-campus students to get married before they complete their course. There isn' t a regulation proclaimed in writing to forbid marriage of on-campus students. But it must affect those triers.
In my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on-campus students to get married before they finished their college, however, it shouldn' t be advocated or encouraged. Because, for on-campus students, their play the role as learners. Their main task is to learn. If they married, their school work must be affected and they may not graduate favorably or may not be capable for future works. So, I believe: almost all on-campus students would deal with the question reasoningly.

［参考范文］What Would Happen If There were No Power
Ever since early the last century,electricity has become an essential part of our modern life.Our industrial and agricultural production depends on it to run various kinds of machines.The modern wonder computers work on electricity too.It provides light,heat and power for us.If we want to watch TV or films or to listen to the radios we also need it.Nobody can deny that the development of our civilization depends on electricity.
If there were no electric power,our modern world would be in trouble.For one thing all the wheels would stop because the motors that power the machines would fail.For another,many,if not all,of our industries would cease production.All the world transport system,in addition,would be felt on the world's communication systems.Thus our modern world would be impossible without electricity.��
Therefore,we should make better use of electric power. On the other hand,we should educate people to economize using electricity and not to waste the energy resources with no thought for the future.At the same time we must do our best to exploit more electric resources to meet the requirements of the human beings and to avoid energy crisis in the future.
3、提纲式作文：出国留学on overseas study
1)、现在每年有学生出国留学
2)、有人觉得留学是个人发展的最好选择，而有人认为在国内也有好的发展。
3)、你的看法
［参考范文］on overseas study
Recent years, more and more Chinese people have chosen to study abroad. To this tendency, some people think it is not good, as most of the overseas learners do not come back, whereas I hold a different opinion.
In my opinion, it is a good thing that more Chinese people go abroad. There are three reasons. First, the overseas learners can improve their ability through the study. They can grasp advanced technologies and their language ability can be improved as well. Second, with the rapid development of China, more and more overseas learners will choose come back, using their abundant knowledge studied abroad to serve for the motherland. The third, the government and most domestic enterprises are willing to provide favorable treatments to attract them to come back.
Although some do not want to come home, we are glad to see that there are more overseas learners chosen to work at home than before. For the above reasons, I think it is not a bad thing for more and more Chinese study abroad.
4、提纲式作文：Private Tutoring
1)、家长为孩子聘请家教目前在社会上非常普遍
2)、为孩子聘请家教的利弊
3)、你的看法
［参考范文］
There is more than one way to Rome, so is the way of tutoring. Nowadays many parents prefer to a private mentor for their children rather than step-by step study in school. Is it helpful? Or is it harmful?
Someone argue that it will destroy the systematic course established by school teacher. It would increase children' s dependency on unnecessary crutch. The worst situation may appear when all trust in public school staff were deprived by those part-time-job hunter.
To be honest, I' m inclined to disagree with these opinions. First of all, another way for textbook interpreting would give children another kind of viewpoint. It would be good at training their critical spirit form the very beginning. On the other side of the coin, absolute authority may be the most undiscoverable enemy during elementary phase for school education. Competiton from outside could change the teacher-oriented status.
Love is preferance. Preferable choices provide much qualified option. At least the muli-access tutoring is not an access full of thorn.
5、图表作文：人口快速增长带来的问题
Directions:
A. Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in at least 150 words.
B. Your essay should cover these points;
1. effect of the country's growing human population in its wildlife
2. possible reasons for the effect
3. your suggestion for wildlife protection (15 points)
【参考范文】 the ups and downs of population growth
As is seen from the two graphs, it is clear that with the rapid growth of U.S. population from 1800 to 1990, the number of its wildlife species no longer existing soared during the same period. Naturally, we can draw the conclusion that the sharp decline of wildlife species resulted from the population growth.
Two reasons may account for this phenomenon. To begin with, as the population grows, people consume much more natural resources, which often leads to excessive hunting. Second, with the increase of human activities, modern people take up more and more space. Which has a great impact on other species. Finally, the problem of pollution becomes more and more serious with the development of modern industry. More and more animals have to adapt themselves to the decaying environment or move to a totally different place, but not all of them are fortunate enough to survive the changes.
Solving this problem calls for, above all, the government’s efforts to control population growth, to decrease industrial pollution and to enhance the laws to forbid wildlife hunting. Moreover, common citizens should be aware of this ecological crisis and take on the responsibility of wildlife protection. In a word, only when the government and the common people make joint e f forts can we hope to find a satisfactory solution to this problem.
6、图表作文：居民日常生活花消表 (215 words)
Study the following table carefully and write an essay of at least 150 words. Your essay must be written on Answer Sheet? Your essay should meet the requirements below.
1. Changes in people' s daily expenses in the past five years
2. Give possible reasons for the changes.
3. Draw my own conclusions
［参考范文］
In the past five years, there have been great changes in people’s daily expenses in city. According to the figures given in the table, the amount of money spent on food decreased gradually, accounting for 35 per cent in 1998. However, there was a rapid increase in clothing expenses, which made up 17% in 1998. In addition, the table shows an upward tendency in recreation expenses. The same was the case with other expenses.
What caused these remarkable changes? In my opinion, there are at least three good reasons. To begin with, with the rapid development of agriculture in China, the output of grain, fruit, vegetables, and milk has sharply increased, which contributes to the decline in their prices. Secondly, the family incomes of people both in the city and in the country have greatly risen so that people now can afford expensive clothing and some of them even want to dress in the latest fashion. Finally, as the living conditions improve, the demand for a variety of recreations is growing steadily, too.
In short, with the incomes rising continuously, people are no longer reconciled to living a simple, monotonous life. They are eager to make their life interesting and exciting. Therefore, I am sure that people will spend more money on clothing and recreations.
7、图表作文：大学生使用电脑情况（02年四级真题）
For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Student Use of Computers. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the chart and the outline given below:
1.上图所示为1990年、1995年、2000年某大学生使用计算机的情况，请描述其变化；
2.请说明发生这些变化的原因(可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明)；
3.你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。
［参考范文］Student Use of Computer
Since 1990, there has been tremendous growth in the use of computers by students. While in 1990, the average number of hours a student spent on the computer was about one hour per week, this number grew to nearly four hours per week by 1995, and to approximately 20 hours per week by the year 2000.
This significant growth in the use of computers by students in the 1990’s can be attributed to several factors, including widespread usage, lower prices, and technological and social developments. Nowadays, computers are widely used by students for word processing, book keeping, multimedia presentations, and access to the Internet for both research and communications. Additionally, since 1990, due to competition and technological advances, computer hardware and software prices, as well as Internet usage charges have dropped significantly. Finally, technological developments and changes in social habits in the 1990’s have played a major role in this tremendous growth in the use of computers. Today’s society relies heavily on computers for immediate access to the news and for entertainment, including, listening to music, watching movies and sport events, and playing computer games.
While computers are of great assistance to the students, and therefore, are indispensable tools, they also pose some challenges. The biggest challenge that many students face is discipline in the use of this powerful device. That is, students need to have the discipline of not allowing themselves to be lured by the entertaining aspects of this wonderful tool—aspects that can result in addiction to computer games or viewing of undesirable material on the Internet. That is to say, students need to use this powerful tool with great wisdom!
