　　A Letter to the Minister of Education

　　Dear Minister of Education,

　　I am a college student and I would like to suggest that students should be given several shorter breaks through the year instead of the traditional long vacations. The reasons why I am in favor of it are as follows.

　　First, students must work very hard at their studies. If they work for too long without a break, they may become overtired and discouraged. They may lose their enthusiasm for learning. Second, a very long vacation is not necessary. Students can recharge their energy in a few days rather than weeks.

　　Furthermore, many students do not use a long vacation wisely and just waste their time instead of doing something meaningful. And last but not least, vacations give students time to explore other interests and perhaps apply what they have been learning to the real world. If they always focus on their studies. They may lose touch with what is happening in their society.

　　In conclusion, I believe that students today would benefit more from several short vacations than they do form two long ones.

　　I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final wise decision.

　　Yours Sincerely

　　Li Wen

　　2. Campus Life

　　Sample 1:

　　Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university. Now the dream has come true. But how do we college students like our campus life?

　　Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. Besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspects. Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much. In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school. The only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.

　　As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the Internet.

　　Sample 2

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter of about 120-150 words to your cousin. In the letter, you should give him some advice how to prepare for the college entrance examination he is going to take next month.

　　Dear Xiao Yan,

　　Your entrance examination is drawing near now, and I expect you to be very busy preparing for it and a little nervous. But I believe that you will do well. As a good friend of yours and survivor of the exam, I am going to give you a few practical hints. It is no good to go on studying until the last minute of examination.

　　What you need in the exam is a clear mind. If you tire yourself out before the examination, you will not be mentally and physically ready for it. So a day or two before the examination just relax-leave your books shut and try some other things: get out into the open air; do some physical exercises; see a film; have fun.

　　When you take the exam, don't feel nervous. Breathe deeply and picture yourself performing well in all the tests. Then, read the questions through carefully and thoughtfully, and put your answer down to paper.

　　Last, you should pay attention to the time. Keep an eye on the clock and allot appropriate time to each section. I hope all these suggestions will be helpful to you. Best wishes for your success.
