 Immoral Behavior in Public

To witness ①immoral behavior in public, one need only visit the Beijing subway. I still remember the first time I took the Beijing subway. It was an early morning. I was in a hurry to go to school. When I was trying to get a ticket, I found a lot of people waiting in front of me, but nobody was in the line.

①Immoral behaviors in public ②initiate a series of problems. One of the most serious ones is that it may exert a negative impact on our ③sense of social responsibility. We will keep ignoring other people’s rights and feelings, and in turn, we too will be disrespected some day.

The reform of ①this phenomenon is certainly not easy. With an eye on practical ②implementation  and ③cost effectiveness , I propose that society make it clear in every way that people who fail to respect the ④common good will be seriously punished. Stricter policies for this should be made to correct this phenomenon as soon as possible.

We all expect “A World without Thieves". Everyone ①shares the huge responsibility of ②demonstrating his or her justice at the proper time. Personal responsibility is vital to build a harmonious socialist society.

1.当今的年轻人越来越强调个性发展；

Should We still Cherish Chinese Traditional Virtues

Today’s youth do things in their own ways, spend money on whatever they want and talk to people in their own languages——personality development is ①overstated by young people these days. To some of them, personality means to be totally different from who their parents used to be.

But the problem is that during their pursuit of their personal goals they ignore some of the traditional virtues of which their ①forefathers were proud. Take the question of ②fidelity to elders for example. With better education and different experiences, some young people find it’s hard to agree with their parents any longer. They have a feeling of superiority and even sometimes ③turn their back on their elder parents.

To me, personality development and traditional virtues ①have nothing to do with right or wrong. In our society, we need them both. These virtues help you to become a better Chinese, while personality development will improve your own character.

 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Change of Entrance Exams for Graduate Schools. You should write at least 150 words based on the chart and outline given below:

上图所示为1997年、2002年、2007年参加研究生入学考试的情况，请描述其变化，并请说明这些变化的原因；

This graph is about the increase of the numbers of people taking part in the ①entrance exams for graduate schools. From it we can see that during the first five years, from 1997 to 2002, the change is gradual. In 1997 there were 500,000 people, while in 2002 there were 1,500,000, showing an increase of one million people. But during the second five years, from 2002 to 2007, the growth is sharp——2.5 million, with 4 million people sitting the exams in 2007.

The reasons for this change may be as follows. First, 1999 was the starting year of ①the college expansion plan, which obviously means that after four years, in 2003, more students graduated from universities and colleges. Secondly, as the competition to find a satisfactory job has become more severe in recent years, to be equipped with a higher degree improves the chances of applicants finding a better job.  Thirdly, not only new graduates feel the competition but also some people who already have a job. In order to get a promotion or to perform better in their jobs, lots of them returned to the ②battle field to fight for better career prospects

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Starting Career in a Big City or Small Town？ You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 

1.很多的大学生毕业后留在大城市工作；

2.也有人选择到小城镇开始自己的职业生涯；

3.结合自己的实际情况谈谈自己的想法。

Starting Career in a Big City or Small Town

Want to be a small fish in a big pond or ①the other way round? Every graduate faces this question when he starts his career. Some prefer to stay in the big cities after graduation. To them, big cities mean more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. At the same time, higher salary is another ②temptation.

But ①some other graduates want to start in small towns. Even though there may not be many big companies, they can have a quieter and less competitive life. Another reason is they can be a big fish in a small pond. They can easily get the management’s attention and may win promotion earlier.

As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start in a big city like Shanghai. ①A good begin is half the battle, and in Shanghai I can find a job in a big company where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.
