Sample writing 1
The girl is wearing a green T-shirt and a yellow skirt. Green represents energy and nature. Maybe she feels tired and thinks green can make her feel more energetic. Yellow presents warmth and wisdom and can also remind people of a warm sunny Maybe she likes yellow because it is the colour of the sun.
The girl is also wearing a hat with an orange flower on it. Orange brings people joy and warmth. The girl's blue shoes show that she is relaxed.
I think this girl is cheerful and friendly. She prefers warm, energetic and calm colours to strong colours.
I like this advertisement because it makes me feel warm and reminds me of the summer holidays.
The man is wearing an orange T-shirt and blue trousers. This is interesting because these two colours have different meanings. Orange represents joy and can cheer you up if you are sad. Blue represents sadness and calm. I think he is very happy, but he also looks very busy and anxious so he needs to calm down.
His glasses are black, which represents power and trust. Maybe the man wants to show his power in order to let others believe in him and buy the mobile phone.
Sample writing 2
show his power in order to let others believe in him and buy the mobile phone. His shoes are white, which represent calm and peace. It balances the powerful black.
I do not think this is a good advertisement because most people would rather relax and feel calm than be very busy like the man in the advertisement . It seems that with such a mobile phone, you will be as busy as he is.

要求:
1.书写工整,语言连贯;

Dear Simon,
I know you are a Grade9 student and you have some problems now. As your close friend, I want to give you some advice.
Firstly, if you always feel stressed, I advise you to wear blue or white. The two colours can make you feel calm and peaceful. You can also try wearing green, because it can make you feel energetic.
Secondly, you may paint your bedroom blue if you can't sleep well at night. Sleeping in a blue room is good for your mind and body.
Finally, perhaps you should use yellow stationery when you study for exams, because yellow can make you wise.
