1.下圖是你們學(xué)校中學(xué)生每天各項活動的情況。請你根據(jù)此圖用英語寫一篇短文，介紹你校每天的生活。詞數(shù)不少于120左右。

As is shown on Chart，we can know something about our school life .

We usually spend around eight hours on our studies every day. We have to more than eight periods of lessons per day. What’s more, much homework will have to be done daily by students. At the same time, the time for sports is less than one hour, which is just one class period. For the three meals， most of us have only about one hour. And we have 7 hours for sleep, which is obviously not adequate for(足夠，適合) young students. We have very little leisure(空閑的)time--- about one hour each day. For other activities like reading newspapers, taking a walk, doing washing or going shopping, we have just one and a half hours in all.

The truth is that we are busy all day long. We really hope we can have more free time of our own.

2.下面的圖表反映的是你校2002年與2005年學(xué)生健康狀況的部分?jǐn)?shù)據(jù)。請你用英語寫一份報告，反映你校三年學(xué)生健康狀況的變化情況，并提出兩條相應(yīng)的改進(jìn)措施。

A recent survey shows that the health of the students in our school has been going from bad to worse in the past three years.

The number of nearsighted students has increased from 78.2% in 2002 to 92.5% in 2005, which that of overweight students from 36% to 52.2%. Nearly 10% of students lack sleep because of more homework to do. Besides, over 15% of students become mentally (精神上,智力上)unhealthy.

To improve students’ health, we call for less homework. Only in this way can students get plenty of sleep and meanwhile(同時; 其間) prevent them from being nearsighted. Proper(適當(dāng)?shù)? diets and exercise should also be paid attention to so that they won’t easily put on weight. With their heavy burdens(負(fù)擔(dān)，重負(fù))removed, students can then keep in normal mental health.

3.假如你是李華。你將代表學(xué)校參加國際中學(xué)生論壇，就你城市的教育狀況發(fā)表演講。請根據(jù)以下兩幅圖表，介紹你市高中生的構(gòu)成情況及畢業(yè)去向的選擇，并針對兩幅圖表中的任何一個數(shù)據(jù)所反映的情況發(fā)表你自己的看法。

Ladies and gentlemen,

I’m Li Hua. Today, I’m greatly honoured to speak here on behalf of my school. I’m going to talk about the high school education of my city.

From chart1, we can see high school students are from different family backgrounds. Besides local students, who make up 91percent, eight percent of the students are the children of non-local workers. There are even 1 percent foreign students.

According to chart 2, the students’ choices after graduation have presented a wider variety. Sixty percent of them intend to go to universities. Thirty percent choose to enter vocational schools, and the rest ten percent plan to go to abroad for further studies.

I think, with the economic development of our city, more foreigners are attracted to set up business here and they are happy to send their children to local school to learn more about China and Chinese culture.

I believe the future of the education in our city is promising(有希望的, 有前途的). That’s all. Thank all.
