6、你是Alice。你的朋友Bonnie很快就要到你的乡间小屋拜访,但你却要出去一会儿。留一张便条给她,告诉她食品在哪儿,告诉她一个人在屋里时应注意些什么。

Dear Bonnie:
I will be away for a while. The key to the cottage is under the doormat, and the food is in the refrigerator. After entering the house, lock the door from inside at once. The cottage is far away from the nearest town, and the area is not quite safe from burglars. So I think the saying is right “Where there is precaution, there is no danger”.
Have a nice stay here.
Yours,
Alice

9、有人认为男性比女性强,另外有人认为女性也具有与男性竞争的能力。谈谈你的看法。
1、 I think sometimes men are superior to women, and sometimes women are superior to men.
Men are better than women sometimes. First, men are normally stronger in body and they are able to do the hardest job. Second, men are more individual and creative and often hold the most important and well-paid positions. However, women are better than men sometimes. First, women are more gentle and careful. For example, most nurses are women and they can easily detect delicate changes about their patients and clam them down. In addition, women know well how to put things in a mess in order.
In a word, men and women are equal and they should learn from each other.
2、Should Men and Women Be Equal?
People have different ideas about this issue, Some people say that men are superior to women in ability because men are physically stronger, do most of the hard labor in the world and hold most important positions. Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.
10、有的人喜欢居住在城市,而有的人则喜欢居住在农村。解释一下他们的各自原因。
1、People have different ideas about living in the city or in the countryside.
Some people like living in the city. They say that there are many factories in the city and there are more job opportunities in the city than in the countryside. They also say that city life is more colorful and meaningful because there are many public facilities there such as supermarkets and entertainment centers. But some people like living in the countryside. They say that life in the countryside is closer to nature, quieter and cleaner. Country people don’t suffer from the housing problem, air pollution, noise pollution, traffic jams and traffic accidents.
In brief, it is up to people themselves to make the decision.
2、Where to live —in the City or in the Country
Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages. They think there are more job opportunities in cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.
But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.
I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.
