No doubt every senior 3 student wishes to be successful in the National College Entrance Examination. ____________
____________________________________________________
【参考范文】
No doubt every senior 3 student wishes to be successful in the National College Entrance Examination. Yet what should we do in order to achieve success Here are some suggestions.
First, it’s very important to have a right attitude, for a normal state of mind not only helps us to relax but also enables us to overcome difficulties bravely. Meanwhile, we should have a definite goal and a correct estimation of ourselves. Only in this way will we not be easily pleased or disappointed with what we have known and done. Besides, we’d better sometimes talk with our parents, teachers or classmates, who may help us out when we’re in trouble. Finally, striking a proper balance between study and rest keeps us energetic and a healthy diet is useful as well.
With these done, I think we can greatly improve our performance.

If I fail this course, I will be 7 to move back home and work at a 8 , but I wonder if there are any good jobs I could get. ”I glanced up at the 9 . It was halfway through the exam.

【参考范文】
Dear James,
Since I heard you had got into the habit of smoking, I have been very worried. You see, not only does smoking waste your money and time, but it’s harmful to your health physically and mentally. As a high school student, you should study hard and stop smoking immediately. Although it’s hard to get rid of smoking, I hope you will follow my advice. First, choose a day when you feel relaxed to throw
away all your cigarettes and make a list of all the benefits you can get from stopping smoking. Then, reread the benefits to remind yourself when you want to smoke again. Finally, do some sports every day and you’re sure to succeed.
Yours,
Li Hua
