2013年4月自考英语写作预测三

　　7.The young have plenty to teach he old

　　Many of us believe that young people have nothing valuable to teach older people. However that is not always the case. Young peole can teach older people about technology, youth culture, and young-related social issues.

　　Young people are usually better at using new forms of technology than old peple. This is true of other technology too. For example, I taught my grandparents how to use a videocassette recorder when I was thirteen years old. They did not know what it chould do, and I showed them. Now they use it regularly.

　　Older people are usually not familiar with youth culture, and younger peole can help here too. This is important because it can help older peole live a more enjoyable life. For example, popular music is generally youth oriented, and older people don’t always listen to it. However, when yougn people teach them about it, they may come to enjoy it. My grandmother, for example never listened to popular music before I introduces her to it. Now she and I listen and dance all the time.

　　Of course, there are more serious issues about what younger peole can teach older peole. As with computer, today’s childern have grown up knowing about AIDS and school violence. That is not true for older generations. Here, again, children can teach older people about things that are important to everyone.

　　I know there are people who would say “you can’t teach an older dog new tricks.” However, it’s plain to me that the young have plenty to teach the old if they take the time to try. When they do, I think both will gain a new appreciation for each other.

　　8.Some people prefer to spend time with one or two close friends.others choose to spend time with a large number of friends. Compare the advantage of each choice. Which of these two ways of spending time do you prefer?

　　Write a composition of about it.

　　We all need to have friends, and I think the more friends we have the better. Friendship helps us learn how to trust others, what to expect from others, and how to profit from experiences. I want to have a lot of friends around me so I can learn more about myself form different peole.

　　I want to have people around me that I trust and that I can depend on. We all need friends, both in times of trouble and in times of happiness. If I only have a few friends, it is possible that they might not be available if I need them. If I have a lot of friends, it is more likely that they will be able to share my troubles or my good forture.

　　I want to have people around me that surprise me, if I have just one or two friends, I know what to expect from them. I know how they will react. If I have a lot of friends aroud me, I will always be surprised. Each will have a different way of reacting to a situation. Observing this reaction and responding to it will teach me how to deal with strangers whom I might meet.

　　I want to have people around me that can teach me something about life. If I only have a couple of friends, I will know everything about them very quickly. If I have hundreds of friends, think what I will learn. Each day they will teach me something new and show me a new way of thinking about something.

　　I have a lot to learn in life, so I want as many as people as possible to help me. I want to a lot of friends to show me how to have a good time. I will do the same for them.

　　9.the importance of studying history and literature

　　I think it’s more important for students to study history and literature. These subjects help us understand the human race and feed our spirits and our imaginations. That’s more important than understanding how to split the atom or do algebra.

　　People talk about a crisis of spirit in our country. They mean we’ve forgotten how to believe in and understand our own better natures. I think part of this is because we’ve become too excited about facts and not enough about things we can’t see and measure. Reading books from our own culture helps us understand our roots. Reading books from other cultures helps us understand the way other peole think and react to situations. It also teaches us that we are not so very different from others, and that leads to better relations between cultures.

　　Reading literature also feeds our spirits. Even when the material we are reading is about terrible sadness and hardship, it still brings us in touch with our inner selves. It makes us think about issues other than new cars we want to drive or how much money we are making.

　　Studying history gives us more information than just who died when or who won which war. It tells us about how human beings have related to each other at different periods in our development. It gives us the big picture. So often, when international crises occur, we only see the problem of the moment. We have no idea how something that happened twenty years ago was the beginning of this current problem. Without that information, we can have only a shallow understanding of what is going on in the world.

　　Both history and literature are necessary subjects for students to prepare for more than just careers. These subjects prepare students for the way they want to live their lives.
