Income Sources Between Chinese Students and American Students
Income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents while in America, only 50% of students` money is provided by parents. In addition, Chinese students earn only 5% of their money from part time jobs and 5% from fellowship or scholarship while income from these two resources for American students takes up 35% and 15% respectively of their total income.
I think there are probably three reasons for their differences. First, because of the influence of different social and family values,Chinese students have formed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up to afford their childrens education rather than encourage them to take parttime jobs.But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing the students ability of selfreliance,so they encourage their children to find parttime job to earn some money by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China,it is relatively easy for students to find parttime jobs.In China,such opportunities are rather rare.
I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students will realize and pay more attention to the necessity of selfdependence. In addition, more and more opportunities will be provided for them to take parttime jobs. So more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives.

第五节命题作文
命题作文要求就所给的作文题目进行写作。与其他作文相比，命题作文具有较大的自主性。因为同样的一个题目可以从不同的角度、用不同的文体来进行写作。例如“My Teacher”这个题目可以写成一篇记叙文，也可以写成一篇描写文。不管用什么文体，也不管从哪个方面来写，只要写出的文章切题、流畅、条理清楚、语言正确就是一篇好文章。然而，这种较大的自主性也会使考生感到困难。因为在有限的30分钟之内，要形成提纲，并写成短文并不是件易事。这就要求考生在写命题作文时首先一定要审好题，要仔细分析题意，搞清楚题目所涉及的范围，确定文章的中心思想，切忌跑题。再者，要选择正确的文体。最后，要围绕文章的中心思想，将写作素材进行分析、归类并写好写作提纲，包括：引言句、主题句和结尾句。
[例1]Fake Commodities
Markets all over the country are swamped with fake and poor commodities. This has harmed greatly the states interests and peoples health. For example, false poison made in a factory not only cant kill mice, but also gives them immunity and makes them healthier.
The cause of this serious situation is that some enterprises only want to get benefit. Whats more,some local governments, for the purpose of local protection, dont investigate such activities,on the contrary, they even support them. The judicial organs dont punish the offenders strictly.
We hold that the whole society should pay greater attention to these illegal activities, and these illegal activities should be punished according to the law. The leaders in charge should take effective measures to stop these harmful activities. Consumers should learn to protect their own interests, and not to buy fake commodities. In this way, we can at last wipe out fake commodities and leave no room for them.
作者把这个题目写成了一篇说明文。一开始先指出了假冒伪劣产品的危害。接下来分析了这一情况产生的原因，最后呼吁全社会都来关注这个问题。
[例2]Haste Makes Waste
There is an old Chinese saying,“Haste makes waste.”It was true in the past, and it is still true in many cases today.
Usually, if you act faster, you can reach your goals earlier. But it isnt always the case. If you emphasize only on speed but ignore the quality of your work, you will get the opposite result. Suppose you are preparing for your final examination. You have so many things to do that you dont have enough rest. You have to read and write continuously. The result is that your brain is less and less efficient, and the situation goes from bad to worse. All your efforts become fruitless. On the contrary, if your preparation follows a carefully worked out plan，your work will be effective. Consequently you will take part in the examination confidently.
Whatever you do, please remember the saying—Haste makes waste. If you can properly understand its meaning, you’ll benefit a lot from it.
作者在文章的开头通过重复作文的题目巧妙地点了题，接下来用具体的事例来说明这一众所周知的道理。
第六节书信体作文
书信是一种应用非常广泛的应用文形式之一。英文书信的种类很多，但可以把它们归为两大类，一类是私人书信(personal letters)，另一类是事务书信(business letters)，例如：申请信、求职信、推荐信、证明信、感谢信等。英文书信的书写有一定的格式。一封完整的书信应包括寄信人的地址和日期;收信人的姓名和地址;称呼、正文、结尾和签名。
一、书信的格式
英文书信的格式与汉语不尽相同，具体表现在信封的写法和英文信的结构两方面。
