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○1 this 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.

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.

●审题概述●
这是一道图表题。首先要看懂图表，从中找出规律。这幅图是关于研究生入学考试考生人数的变化。可以看出1997——2002和2002——2007这两段时间段中人数增加的趋势有所不同。重点分析这一变化的原因。
【范文】
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.

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○1 some 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.
