Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Expenditure on Fast Food. You should write at least 150 words and base your composition on the outline given below.

Expenditure on Fast Food
The bar chart demonstrates the expenditure on fast foods of different income groups. Overall, people of high income group spend the most money on fast foods (a little more than 80 pence per person per week). In comparison, people who have an average income and low income spend less, around 70 pence and 40 pence respectively.
The high income group prefers hamburgers and spends 43 pence per week on them. This is more than twice the amount of money they spend on pizza (20 pence) and fish and chips (17 pence). Hamburgers also rank first among the choices of the average income group at 34 pence. Compared with the high income group, the average income group spends more on fish and chips – 25 pence per person per week. They only spend a little more than 10 pence on pizza.
Fish and chips replace hamburgers and become the most popular choice in the low income group – people spend an average 18 pence per week on them. Money spent on hamburgers is only 14 pence per person per week, which is almost one third of that of the high income group whereas money spent on pizza is a mere 7 pence.

预测作文二
Directions: Several cities in China have introduced a new electronic system to guarantee fair enrollment for middle schools. Under the new system, a student’s household registration determines which school he would be admitted to. For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on A Balanced Education, You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

A Balanced Education
It can be inferred from the picture above that the enrollment policy of compulsory education in China – an automatic selection according to one’s registered residence – was designed to ensure that every child, regardless their family background and social status, can enjoy equal chance.
Admittedly, with such a policy, students no longer have to take examination and schools can no longer pick the students they deem most potential. Students will be judged only by their registered address, not their intelligence. Nevertheless, in my opinion, these measures are only palliatives. The reason why parents and children have been competing for all these years is that the educational resources are unevenly distributed in China. Some of the schools recruit better teachers and possess better equipments while others don’t. One of the most obvious results of the current enrollment policy is a surge in the price of the real estate that guarantees enrollment to a more promising school.
It is no denying that this policy would work within a short period of time. But to sustain the balance in education, the government should probably put more money in cultivating outstanding teachers and encouraging them to support education in less developed regions.

预测作文四
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Handle Criticism and Compliments Properly based on the picture below. You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

Handle Criticism and Compliments Properly
What we can see from the picture above is that a salesman in an office trying to promote a kind of hearing aid says: “It’s a special hearing aid. It filters out criticism and amplifies compliments.” Funny though it sounds, it reflects the improper way of handling criticism and compliments, which is not uncommon among some people.
There is no doubt that criticism can sometimes do harm to people’s confidence and dignity and compliments can be encouraging. However, it is improper, even wrong to simply reject criticism and amplify compliments. On the one hand, criticism has a tremendous value for one’s growth and development as a human being, such as helping people to know their defects and adding to one’s self-knowledge, stopping one from erring, etc. On the other hand, compliments, especially deceptive ones made on purpose, will lead to blind optimism, which will hinder one from making right judgments, decisions or choices.
To conclude, one cannot simply take a negative attitude toward criticism and welcome compliments excessively. A proper way is to accept pertinent and beneficial criticism and refuse insincere compliments.

预测作文五
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of floods of smart phone apps on their users and then explain the advantages and disadvantages of numerous smart phone apps. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

As is depicted in the picture, a woman talks to a man, complaining the floods of apps. What she intends to express includes two points: apps would generate many amazing things; various choices of apps draw the users’ attention so that they ignore the real world.
Let’s put it another way. On one hand, it is convenient for smart phone users to have so many apps. They can surf the Net through apps to do whatever they want: buying things, chatting with their friends, receiving emails, having video conferences, reading books, and watching films, etc. On the other hand, the side effects caused by apps cannot be undervalued. Firstly, it may lead to message leakage. Secondly, the rubbish files produced by apps may slow down the running speed of smart phones. Thirdly, overuse of smart phones will be harmful for one’s physical and mental health. Smart phone users are engrossed in their screens and are isolated from the outside world, ignoring everything around them.
To conclude, apps should be utilized wisely. When enjoying the enrichment of apps we should stay awake and not be dragged into the virtual world.

【试题精析】
【布局谋篇】
本文属于论述型文章，能够采用三段式行文。第一段：经过格言来诠释谦虚的价值和意义；第二段：举例论证谦虚的好处；第三段：得出结论，建议大家保持谦虚的心态。
【经典范文
“Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.” Joseph Addison once said. Modesty not only makes one look beautiful and well-mannered, but also serves as a guarantee to his excellent character. Apparently people may lose their fine qualities if they are not modest.
Simple as Addison’s remark may sound, it contains abundant life philosophy. Modesty can prompt us to go farther and achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements; instead, they will work constantly to accomplish a higher target. Take Benjamin Franklin as an example: He was once a printer of humble origins, so if he was simply satisfied with small achievements, it would be impossible for him to attain enormous achievements in so many fields such as science, politics and literature.
We should always keep in mind the significance of modesty in our life. We need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. “Success consists in industry and modesty,” a philosopher once said.
【参考译文】
约瑟夫•艾迪生曾经说过，“谦虚不但仅是一个装饰物，而且是美德的守护者。”谦虚不但能够使人看起来美丽、彬彬有礼，而且还是优秀品质的保证。很明显，如果人们不再谦虚，可能会失去优秀的品质。
艾迪生的话可能听起来简单，但却包含了大量的生活哲理。谦虚让我们走得更远，获得更大的成功。谦虚的人永远都不会满足于当前的成就；相反，为了达到更高的目标，她们会一直努力地工作。以本杰明•富兰克林为例：她曾经只是个出身卑微的印刷工，因此如果她只是满足于小小的成就，就不可能在科学、政治和文学等诸多领域取得巨大的成就。
我们应该牢记谦虚在人生中的重要意义。我们要有一个开放的心态，接受新事物、吸收新信息、学习新知识、把握新机会。“成功在于勤奋和谦虚，”一位哲人曾经这样说
