参考答案：
1．例文：
To Be a Good Traveler
The summer holiday is coming. To make everyone have a good trip, I want to talk about how to be a good traveler. First, you should ride your bike to travel as much as possible. It’s good for the environment. Second, it’s not good to write or draw on any things in the sights. And it’s impolite to spit in public places. Third, please protect the environment. You shouldn’t pick up the flowers or walk on the grass. Fourth, you should take part in voluntary service because helping others is helping ourselves. What’s more, don’t waste food. You’d better eat up the food you order.
If you follow the tips above, you can become a good traveler.
2．例文：
Love Animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I will give a speech about loving animals.
I’m in eighth grade. I am an animal lover and love to help people and animals in need. I want to join in the group for some reasons. Firstly, I love nature and I would like to call on more people to take care of nature with us. Next, I hope that I can learn more about animals to protect them. However, animals are in a dangerous situation now, because people cut down trees and destroy nature.
In my opinion, animals and human beings are both parts of the nature. They are our friends. We have the responsibility to protect each other.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.
3．Possible version:
My holiday travel plan
I am going to Hangzhou with my family during this holiday. We decide to go there by train, because it’s cheap and comfortable to begin a trip on a train.
We will stay in Hangzhou for three days. There are many places of interest in Hangzhou. We are going to visit West Lake and go boating on the lake. Then we plan to visit the Broken Bridge and Leifeng Pagoda. My mother and my sister also plan to do some shopping in Hangzhou. What’s more, we will certainly have some delicious food and taste Longjing Tea.
I’m really looking forward to our trip to Hangzhou. I believe that we will have a good time there.
4．例文
Dear Sam,
Glad to hear that you plan to travel to China for the summer vacation this year. I’d like to invite you to my hometown Fuzhou for a visit.
Fuzhou lies in the southeast of China, whose history is over 2200 years. Because of a nice environment, Fuzhou attracts millions of tourists from home and abroad. If you come, you can enjoy fresh air, blue sky as well as green trees. Many famous places of interest like Pingtan Island, Three Lanes and Seven Alleys are well worth visiting. Besides, you can taste various kinds of delicious food, such as Fotiaoqiang, fish balls, meat swallow and so on.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!
Yours,
Li Hua
5．参考范文：
Dear friends,
We are creating the civilized and clean city in Xintian now, which can bring us a much better city and we can live much better. As students, we should try our best to do something to help. What can we do
First, We should make some posters and put up the posters all around the school so that people know how important the event is. Second, we should read more and exercise more instead of playing moible phones in the free time. These can improve our living qualities. Third, we should be polite to others, and we have to follow the traffic rules when we walk in the street. Fourth, we should not only clean up the city, but also plant more trees, because these can make our city more beautiful.
Please come and join us. I believe you will have a meaningful time.
6．例文：
In the past few years, great changes have taken place around us.
Now people can go travelling abroad in their spare time. If they don’t have enough time, they can travel online. Our studies are also changing. For example, more students are interested in reading and group work. They like working together. More and more people have their own cars. And high-speed trains make people travel faster and easier. Also, our environment has changed a lot. The air is fresher and the water is cleaner. We often take a walk happily in the park.
In a word, our life is becoming better and better. We look forward to a better future.
7．例文：
Green user, green planet
With the development of the technology, environmental problems have become more and more serious. In addition, the shortage of natural resources is very serious, too. In order to make the Earth less polluted and save energy, we should use green energy. In my opinion, green energy is renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, and tide energy. We can reuse this kind of energy and it also causes less pollution. It can help keep our environment clean.
I promise to be a green energy user because it’s good for the environment. I’ll try my best to save energy and prevent pollution.
8．例文：
Last time I went to Mars with my family. We took the space shuttle there in the morning. We met the aliens on Mars and they look so strange. They have three eyes and four legs. Their hair is really long because they need it to keep warm on the cold night. We traveled around the whole Mars and took a lot of pictures. It was such a nice trip that we didn’t want to go back to the earth. But we went back finally and I think I’ll go there again.
9．One possible version:
On the Internet
The Internet is playing an important part in our everyday life. It helps people a lot in many ways.
On the Internet, we can learn news and get all kinds of other useful information as well. We can also send e-mails, make phone calls, read books and learn foreign languages on the Internet. If we are free, we can enjoy music, watch sports games and play games such as playing cards. On the Internet, we can even do shopping, have a chat with others and make friends.
In a word, the Internet makes our life more colourful.
10．One possible version:
Last May Day, my parents and I went to Beijing for a holiday. It took us two hours to get there by plane. Beijing is the capital of China. It has a lot of places of interest, such as the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace, the Great Wall and so on. We enjoyed the beautiful views there and couldn’t help taking many photos. We stayed there for two days.
We were very tired after the trip, but we were very excited to see so many beautiful sights of Beijing. We hope to visit it again in the near future.
11．One possible version:
My First Trip
Last summer, I went to Beijing with my parents. It was my first trip.
The first day we went to climb the Great Wall. It was very amazing. The next day we went to Tian’anmen Square in the morning. My parents and I felt very proud when we saw the national flag rise. Then we ate Beijing Duck at noon. It was so delicious that I want to eat again. On the last day of the trip, we went shopping and bought some gifts for my grandparents. We had a good time in Beijing!
My first trip not only opened up my eyes but also offered me sweet memories. I am looking forward to going on another trip soon.
12．例文：
Dear Tom,
Glad to hear from you. I’m so happy that you’ll visit Wuxi. Now let me introduce this city to you. In the past, Wuxi was only a small city. The streets were not wide and the traffic was always busy. In recent years, Wuxi has developed very fast. It is becoming cleaner and bigger.
There are many places you can visit in Wuxi. Nianhua Bay is one of the places of natural beauty. You can take a boat trip there. You can also visit Yixing Bamboo Sea. There you can see lots of bamboo. Wuxi Zoo is very big. You can see different animals in it.
Wuxi is a beautiful city. You can pay a visit at any time. But I think the best time is spring and autumn.
Welcome to Wuxi. I’m sure you can have fun there.
Yours,
Mary
13．例文：
May 19th is National Tourism Day. We students should always improve ourselves. Besides reading, travelling is also a good way. I like travelling very much.
So far, I have travelled to Beijing, Hong Kong, New York and many other places. But my favourite place is Hong Kong. It is an international modern city with many beautiful places of interest. We can enjoy delicious food there. Last summer we visited Hong Kong Disneyland. We watched a parade of Disney characters there and I couldn’t stop taking photos with them. I had a good time there. It is an unforgettable experience for me.
Travelling is really a good way to open our mind and learn more about the world.
14．例文：
Dear Kate,
I’m glad to receive your email. Now I want to tell you something about the Chinese table manners.
In China, we must wait until everyone is at the table. And when the dinner starts, the host doesn’t eat every dish first. He waits for the guests and elders to dig in. We don’t tap bowls with the chopsticks, which is considered impolite. We shouldn’t reach across the table to get something to eat, because in that case, we may break or knock something over. Besides, we usually toast good health or success of the host and thank him for his treat.
Hope to see you in China and everything goes well.
Yours,
Li Hui
15．例文
On the Way to School
These days, breaking traffic rules and littering cause serious harm to the life and the environment. Changing this situation requires considerable effort of everyone. As for me, I think it should start from the way to school.
I keep traffic rules in mind all the way. If I ride a bicycle, I always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic lights turn green. If I walk, I never forget to use the pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile, I’ll regard it as my duly to help keep our environment clean and healthy. Not only will I keep others from littering and spiting anywhere, but also help clean up the roadside litter whenever possible.
I hope my behavior will make a difference.
16．例文：
I like living in the countryside
I prefer living in the countryside to living in the city. Because the air in the countryside is fresh and the environment is beautiful. There are not many cars in the countryside, so there is not much pollution. The water is clearer and the sky is bluer. At night, you can also see the stars in the sky. Besides, life in the countryside is very relaxing. You don’t have to rush to catch a bus or endure the noise of the city. However, in recent years, the environment has been damaged. I hope people know the importance of protecting the environment. I will be a volunteer to take part in environmental protection.
17．范文
Dear Mike,
I’m happy that you’ll come to China on an exchange program. Now let me tell you some customs in China.
For table manners, you will probably use chopsticks to eat dinner. Remember not to stick your chopsticks into your food. When you’re at table, you are not supposed to start eating first if there are old people at the table. It’s impolite to do so. After dinner, you’d better say that the food is delicious and thank them for their treat.
If you are invited to visit someone’s home, you are supposed to arrive on time or earlier. It is impolite to be late. It is also good to bring a small gift, such as some flowers or fruit. In addition, remember to take off your shoes before entering the house.
When you go out to eat with others, you should take the initiative to pay the bill.
I hope my suggestions will be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
18．例文
Dear Jenny,
I’m so glad you’re coming to China! Before you come, you should know about table manners in our country. Here is some advice.
If you’re invited to a dinner, there will be a lot of different dishes, not just three courses. You may find it difficult to use chopsticks if you haven’t tried before. It’s a good idea to get some practice before you come. When the food is served, you should wait until you’re invited to eat. The plates will be placed in the middle of the table for everyone to share. Take a little of everything and then have some more of the things you like. During the meal, you should say how much you like it because it takes much time to prepare it.
I hope this is helpful. E-mail me if you have any other questions.
Yours,
Wang Hao
19．例文：
Let’s Protect Nature
Hello, everyone! As we all know, green mountains and clear water are like mountains of gold and silver. It is very important for us to protect nature. Nature provides us with clean air, enough food and rich resources. But now nature faces serious problems. Water is polluted, the area of forests is becoming smaller and smaller, and people kill a lot of wild animals. It is time for us to take action to protect nature. Let people and nature be friendly to each other.
20．例文
Dear Mike，
I’m glad to hear from you.
Wenzhou is a beautiful city located in Zhejiang Province, China. It has a long history and is known for its rich culture and unique architecture. In recent years, Wenzhou has undergone significant changes, with the development of modern infrastructure and the growth of its economy. The city has become more accessible, with the opening of several new highways and the expansion of its airport. This has led to an increase in tourism and business opportunities, which have benefited the local community. Wenzhou is also known for its delicious cuisine, especially its seafood, which is a must-try when visiting the city.
I hope this information is helpful for your project. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Yours,
Li Ping

参考答案：
1．例文：
To Be a Good Traveler
The summer holiday is coming. To make everyone have a good trip, I want to talk about how to be a good traveler. First, you should ride your bike to travel as much as possible. It’s good for the environment. Second, it’s not good to write or draw on any things in the sights. And it’s impolite to spit in public places. Third, please protect the environment. You shouldn’t pick up the flowers or walk on the grass. Fourth, you should take part in voluntary service because helping others is helping ourselves. What’s more, don’t waste food. You’d better eat up the food you order.
If you follow the tips above, you can become a good traveler.
2．例文：
Love Animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I will give a speech about loving animals.
I’m in eighth grade. I am an animal lover and love to help people and animals in need. I want to join in the group for some reasons. Firstly, I love nature and I would like to call on more people to take care of nature with us. Next, I hope that I can learn more about animals to protect them. However, animals are in a dangerous situation now, because people cut down trees and destroy nature.
In my opinion, animals and human beings are both parts of the nature. They are our friends. We have the responsibility to protect each other.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.
3．Possible version:
My holiday travel plan
I am going to Hangzhou with my family during this holiday. We decide to go there by train, because it’s cheap and comfortable to begin a trip on a train.
We will stay in Hangzhou for three days. There are many places of interest in Hangzhou. We are going to visit West Lake and go boating on the lake. Then we plan to visit the Broken Bridge and Leifeng Pagoda. My mother and my sister also plan to do some shopping in Hangzhou. What’s more, we will certainly have some delicious food and taste Longjing Tea.
I’m really looking forward to our trip to Hangzhou. I believe that we will have a good time there.
4．例文

Dear friends,
We are creating the civilized and clean city in Xintian now, which can bring us a much better city and we can live much better. As students, we should try our best to do something to help. What can we do
First, We should make some posters and put up the posters all around the school so that people know how important the event is. Second, we should read more and exercise more instead of playing moible phones in the free time. These can improve our living qualities. Third, we should be polite to others, and we have to follow the traffic rules when we walk in the street. Fourth, we should not only clean up the city, but also plant more trees, because these can make our city more beautiful.
Please come and join us. I believe you will have a meaningful time.
6．例文：
In the past few years, great changes have taken place around us.
Now people can go travelling abroad in their spare time. If they don’t have enough time, they can travel online. Our studies are also changing. For example, more students are interested in reading and group work. They like working together. More and more people have their own cars. And high-speed trains make people travel faster and easier. Also, our environment has changed a lot. The air is fresher and the water is cleaner. We often take a walk happily in the park.
In a word, our life is becoming better and better. We look forward to a better future.
7．例文：
Green user, green planet
With the development of the technology, environmental problems have become more and more serious. In addition, the shortage of natural resources is very serious, too. In order to make the Earth less polluted and save energy, we should use green energy. In my opinion, green energy is renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, and tide energy. We can reuse this kind of energy and it also causes less pollution. It can help keep our environment clean.
I promise to be a green energy user because it’s good for the environment. I’ll try my best to save energy and prevent pollution.
8．例文：
Last time I went to Mars with my family. We took the space shuttle there in the morning. We met the aliens on Mars and they look so strange. They have three eyes and four legs. Their hair is really long because they need it to keep warm on the cold night. We traveled around the whole Mars and took a lot of pictures. It was such a nice trip that we didn’t want to go back to the earth. But we went back finally and I think I’ll go there again.
9．One possible version:
On the Internet
The Internet is playing an important part in our everyday life. It helps people a lot in many ways.
On the Internet, we can learn news and get all kinds of other useful information as well. We can also send e-mails, make phone calls, read books and learn foreign languages on the Internet. If we are free, we can enjoy music, watch sports games and play games such as playing cards. On the Internet, we can even do shopping, have a chat with others and make friends.
In a word, the Internet makes our life more colourful.
10．One possible version:
Last May Day, my parents and I went to Beijing for a holiday. It took us two hours to get there by plane. Beijing is the capital of China. It has a lot of places of interest, such as the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace, the Great Wall and so on. We enjoyed the beautiful views there and couldn’t help taking many photos. We stayed there for two days.
We were very tired after the trip, but we were very excited to see so many beautiful sights of Beijing. We hope to visit it again in the near future.
11．One possible version:
My First Trip
Last summer, I went to Beijing with my parents. It was my first trip.
The first day we went to climb the Great Wall. It was very amazing. The next day we went to Tian’anmen Square in the morning. My parents and I felt very proud when we saw the national flag rise. Then we ate Beijing Duck at noon. It was so delicious that I want to eat again. On the last day of the trip, we went shopping and bought some gifts for my grandparents. We had a good time in Beijing!
My first trip not only opened up my eyes but also offered me sweet memories. I am looking forward to going on another trip soon.
12．例文：
Dear Tom,
Glad to hear from you. I’m so happy that you’ll visit Wuxi. Now let me introduce this city to you. In the past, Wuxi was only a small city. The streets were not wide and the traffic was always busy. In recent years, Wuxi has developed very fast. It is becoming cleaner and bigger.
There are many places you can visit in Wuxi. Nianhua Bay is one of the places of natural beauty. You can take a boat trip there. You can also visit Yixing Bamboo Sea. There you can see lots of bamboo. Wuxi Zoo is very big. You can see different animals in it.
Wuxi is a beautiful city. You can pay a visit at any time. But I think the best time is spring and autumn.
Welcome to Wuxi. I’m sure you can have fun there.
Yours,
Mary
13．例文：
May 19th is National Tourism Day. We students should always improve ourselves. Besides reading, travelling is also a good way. I like travelling very much.
So far, I have travelled to Beijing, Hong Kong, New York and many other places. But my favourite place is Hong Kong. It is an international modern city with many beautiful places of interest. We can enjoy delicious food there. Last summer we visited Hong Kong Disneyland. We watched a parade of Disney characters there and I couldn’t stop taking photos with them. I had a good time there. It is an unforgettable experience for me.
Travelling is really a good way to open our mind and learn more about the world.
14．例文：
Dear Kate,
I’m glad to receive your email. Now I want to tell you something about the Chinese table manners.
In China, we must wait until everyone is at the table. And when the dinner starts, the host doesn’t eat every dish first. He waits for the guests and elders to dig in. We don’t tap bowls with the chopsticks, which is considered impolite. We shouldn’t reach across the table to get something to eat, because in that case, we may break or knock something over. Besides, we usually toast good health or success of the host and thank him for his treat.
Hope to see you in China and everything goes well.
Yours,
Li Hui
15．例文
On the Way to School
These days, breaking traffic rules and littering cause serious harm to the life and the environment. Changing this situation requires considerable effort of everyone. As for me, I think it should start from the way to school.
I keep traffic rules in mind all the way. If I ride a bicycle, I always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic lights turn green. If I walk, I never forget to use the pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile, I’ll regard it as my duly to help keep our environment clean and healthy. Not only will I keep others from littering and spiting anywhere, but also help clean up the roadside litter whenever possible.
I hope my behavior will make a difference.
16．例文：
I like living in the countryside
I prefer living in the countryside to living in the city. Because the air in the countryside is fresh and the environment is beautiful. There are not many cars in the countryside, so there is not much pollution. The water is clearer and the sky is bluer. At night, you can also see the stars in the sky. Besides, life in the countryside is very relaxing. You don’t have to rush to catch a bus or endure the noise of the city. However, in recent years, the environment has been damaged. I hope people know the importance of protecting the environment. I will be a volunteer to take part in environmental protection.
17．范文
Dear Mike,
I’m happy that you’ll come to China on an exchange program. Now let me tell you some customs in China.
For table manners, you will probably use chopsticks to eat dinner. Remember not to stick your chopsticks into your food. When you’re at table, you are not supposed to start eating first if there are old people at the table. It’s impolite to do so. After dinner, you’d better say that the food is delicious and thank them for their treat.
If you are invited to visit someone’s home, you are supposed to arrive on time or earlier. It is impolite to be late. It is also good to bring a small gift, such as some flowers or fruit. In addition, remember to take off your shoes before entering the house.
When you go out to eat with others, you should take the initiative to pay the bill.
I hope my suggestions will be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
18．例文
Dear Jenny,
I’m so glad you’re coming to China! Before you come, you should know about table manners in our country. Here is some advice.
If you’re invited to a dinner, there will be a lot of different dishes, not just three courses. You may find it difficult to use chopsticks if you haven’t tried before. It’s a good idea to get some practice before you come. When the food is served, you should wait until you’re invited to eat. The plates will be placed in the middle of the table for everyone to share. Take a little of everything and then have some more of the things you like. During the meal, you should say how much you like it because it takes much time to prepare it.
I hope this is helpful. E-mail me if you have any other questions.
Yours,
Wang Hao
19．例文：
Let’s Protect Nature
Hello, everyone! As we all know, green mountains and clear water are like mountains of gold and silver. It is very important for us to protect nature. Nature provides us with clean air, enough food and rich resources. But now nature faces serious problems. Water is polluted, the area of forests is becoming smaller and smaller, and people kill a lot of wild animals. It is time for us to take action to protect nature. Let people and nature be friendly to each other.
20．例文
Dear Mike，
I’m glad to hear from you.
Wenzhou is a beautiful city located in Zhejiang Province, China. It has a long history and is known for its rich culture and unique architecture. In recent years, Wenzhou has undergone significant changes, with the development of modern infrastructure and the growth of its economy. The city has become more accessible, with the opening of several new highways and the expansion of its airport. This has led to an increase in tourism and business opportunities, which have benefited the local community. Wenzhou is also known for its delicious cuisine, especially its seafood, which is a must-try when visiting the city.
