One possible version:
On Recreation
It is impossible for us t0 keep fit unless we often take part in activities of recreation
There are various kinds of games in our daily life after study,for example,listening to music,watching TV,playing chess,going to the cinema.But I think we’d better have more outdoor activities to supply our muscles with exercise because we usually sit too long in our classroom,and our eyes and brain get tired.So it's a good idea to play basketball,football,table tennis,go swimming and do some running,even go for a picnic.Our brain also needs changes to make it smart and active
第二节:读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)
One possible version:
With the women’s liberation movement carried out,American women now enjoy a better situation in both their families and the society.What they have done proves women deserve as much respect as men.
Women in the world have long been treated unfairly.They were limited in their homes where they could not share equal rights with men.Now the situation has improved greatly,but they are still not treated equally as men.And this is a worldwide problem.Considering the contribution women do to their families and the society,women should be given as much respect and as many
opportunities.They should be paid as much as men ifthey do the same job.Men should give up the belief that men should have some privilege.On the other hand,women should make themselves more able,be more self-confident and more active.I believe the day will come when women enjoy real equality with men.
