1．2002年普通高等学校招生全国英语统一考试书面表达试题

最近，你校同学正在参加某英文报组织的一场讨论。讨论的主题是：公园要不要收门票？请你根据下表提供的信息，给报社写一封信，客观地介绍讨论情况。

注意：

1、信的开头已为你写好。 2、词数：100左右。 3、参考词汇：门票：entrance fee

One possible version:

Dear Editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks.

Opinions are divided on the question. 60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They believed a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city.

On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardeners and other workers and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, however, fees should be charged low.

Yours truly,

Li Hua

2．当前不少文学作品被改编成电影。有人选择看电影，有人则喜欢读原著。请你以“Film or book, which do you prefer?”为题，按照下列要点写一篇英语短文：

1、  看电影：省时、有趣、易懂

2、  读原著：细节更多、语言优美

3、  我的看法及理由

注意：1、词数：100-120 文章题目和开头已给出（不计入词数）。

2、参考词汇：original work 或book in the original （原著）

Film or book, which do you prefer?

Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original.

One possible Version

Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.

Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.

Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to better understand the author’s ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
