As we all known, talking and listening are commonly used in communication, but how can you talk without listening to others? Good conversation skills include much more than simply talking to others, listening is also a necessary quality of a successful person.

I firmly believe that listening is of greater significance than talking. For one thing, If you can not listen correctly, you can not talk properly. Just imagine a world where everyone keep talking but nobody listening, its useless to say anything then. For another, if you want to make achievement in social settings, relationships and business, one way to ensure your success is to be a great listener.

Therefore, in order to enhance our conversation skills, here are a few simple rules we can follow to help us become a better listener, such as stopping talking endlessly, giving your full attention to the speaker and making an effort to shift the focus of the conversation to the other person. All in all, nothing can instead of listening! (169 words)

The Beginning of Drama

There are many theories about the beginning ofdrama in ancient Greece. The on most widelyaccepted today is based on the assumption thatdrama evolved from ritual. The argument for thisview goes as follows. In the beginning, human beingsviewed the natural forces of the world-even theseasonal changes-as unpredictable, and theysought through various means to control theseunknown and feared powers. Those measureswhich appeared to bring the desired results werethen retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals.

Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passedsome rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and providedmaterial for art and drama. Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue thatthose rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes werealmost always used, Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances andwhen the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the"acting area" and the "auditorium."

In addition, there were performers, and, sinceconsiderable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites,religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they oftenimpersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actor might. Eventuallysuch dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.

Another theory traces the theaters origin from the human interest in storytelling. Accordingto this vies tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first throughthe use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through theassumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theaterto those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animalmovements and sounds.

The worlds first commercial production of Genetically modified food (GMF) is delay the maturity of Genetically modified tomatowhich was put into the United States market in 1994. There is no denying the fact that the number of GMF is steadily increasing in the 21st century. Sowhat is the so-called GMF?

GMF is a kind of food that is embedded foreign gene in the genome of the species by genetic engineering technology to meet human needsincluding transgenic plant foodtransgenic animal food and transgenic microorganism food. There has been a controversy that whether the GMF should be banned.

On one side are the GMF supporterswho suggestion GMF has been no sign of major health or environmental problems. This kind of food has many advantages:increase crop yields reduce production costsenhance the ability of anti-virus and so on. GMF is usually cheaper and easier to plant than traditional foodin this waywe can get more people to eat and live.

On the other are the opponentswho believe that GMF is harmful to our health because its potential threatsuch as some species may be affected by the drift of genesGMF may cause allergic reactions. Sowe should not promote and eat GMF.

In my point of viewGMF is a double-edged sword. Mature GMF can benefit mankind and reduce hungerbut we should take a cautious attitude to the immature GMF.

Directions: In this part, you are to written an essay of about 200 words within 40 minutes. Your essay should be based on the information given in the outline below

Outline:

1. Importance of confidence

2. Reasons for lack of confidence

3. Necessity to build up confidence

The Importance of Confidence

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one can achieve anything when faced with hardships. This truth seems to be self-evident. In reality, however, we do see a lot of people who always complain that they lack the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. For some, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.

Why do some people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? I think there are two main reasons. In the first place, these people dont have a correct estimate of themselves. For example, ...... Secondly, there is another possibility that they exaggerate the difficulties. They cant see ..... They tend to ........

In my opinion, one should build up faith in oneself as long as he has a right attitude towards his own abilities. We should neither underestimate nor overestimate our abilities. As a proverb says, "Where there is a will, there is a way." With confidence we can certainly cope with any task we are faced with.

No one，regardless of race, religion or nationality, can deny that the world we live in is becoming increasingly intolerable because of the effects of global warming. According to many experts, even greater impacts are still on the way. There are numerous causes for this problem. On one hand, human-related emissions of carbon into the atmosphere is causing, and will in the future cause, significant global warming according to the theory.

On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. It is urgent that immediate and effective actions should be taken right away. First, more trees need to be planted to help improve and beautify the environment. Besides, stricter laws concerning global warming and irresponsible use of fuel resources have to be put into effect and achieved good results. In a word, there is a long way to go before we can take a comfortable world for granted again .

A punctual person is in the habit of doing things at proper time in a planned way and is always keeping his appointment. He knows that if he wants to succeed in his work and society he must observe regular or appointed time. The unpunctual mall, on the contrary, seldom does what he bas to do at the set time. If he has made an appointment with someone, he never cares about the appointed time and is likely to be late for half an hour.

Unpanetuality is very harmful. Friends sometimes grow cold to wards each other, or even become enemies, because one of them has been remiss in keeping appointments. Imagine how it would be if those who are entrusted with important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends, his classmates or colleagues.

There is a proverb which says, "There is a time for everything." This is true. In fact time is life itself, and the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and is no doubt fond of punctuality.

Young university students are sensible to fashions. Some are keen on following fashions: they use mobile phones of the latest style; they wear stylish clothes; they enjoy popular music.

Some people are not happy with this phenomenon. They argue that university students should focus on studies rather than on fashions. They say fashions cost so much that university students cannot afford them. Some students follow fashions crazily, for fear of losing face. Fashions have caused much trouble on campus.

However, others may hold different opinions. They say fashions can drive students to work harder for a better life and broaden their horizons, which is essential for their future development.

I understand those students who follow fashions, but they must be responsible and not go to extremes. If their family is poor, there is no need for them to have such luxurious hobbies.

The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of modesty. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it.

Modesty can inspire people to achieve greater success. Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target.

Moreover,a modest people are more likely to be fitting in, win others’ trust and enjoy a harmonious interpersonal relationship.

To further illustrate the importance of modesty, I would like to take Newton as a case in point: how could he, one of the most influential scientists throughout the history of mankind, discover the Law of Momentum Conservation if he was simply content with the achievement of finding Three Laws of Motion ?

Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments, instead , 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.

The passage mainly tells us that Chinese tourists were ranked second in a global poll of the worst travelers, as they behaved impolitely and improperly when travelling abroad.

Actually, we can also find some impolite and improper behavior when we travel at home.

For example, some tourists drop litter anywhere at scenic spots, smoke in the wooded mountains, or take photos when they are supposed not to. The behavior, on one hand, destroys the beauties of nature and affects other tourists’ moods, and on the other hand, it will produce a very bad national image. So it is necessary to be a civilized tourist. To do this, firstly, we should be aware of travel manners, such as speaking and behaving politely, especially in public places.

Secondly, we should familiarize ourselves with local customs in advance, so as to avoid misunderstandings or troubles.

And lastly, do as the rules of scenic spots require us to do. For example, we should not take photos or walk on grass if it is forbidden.
