Wealsohavethepopulationproblem.Asthenumberofpeopleintheworldkeepsgrowing,weareproducingmorerubbish.Forourfuturegenerations,wemustallworktogethertokeepourearthcleanandhealthy. 例二要点： 1. 长江是世界第三长河。随着工农业的飞速发展和人口的快速增长，长江已被严重污染了。据报道，2000年，有234亿吨未经处理的生活工业污水被倾到入长江中，长江问题在国内外都引起了广泛关注。 2. 值得庆幸的事，许多人已经认识到了保护长江的重要性。许多环保组织已被设立已处理这个问题。比如说，绿色河流组织的宗旨就是教育并告诫人们保护这条伟大的河流的重要性。一些保护这条河流的政府专项工程也在建设中。 3. 因此，长江的环境状况正再逐步改善。我们相信它会变的越来越好。 TheYangtzeRiveristhethirdlongestriverintheworld.Withtherapiddevelopmentofagricultureandindustry,plushugegrowthofpopulation,theYangtzeRiverhasbeenheavilypolluted.In2000,itwasreportedthat23.4billiontonsofuntreatedhumanandindustrialwastewerepouredintotheriver.TheproblemsoftheYangtzeRiverhaveraisedconcernbothathomeandabroad.

8Advertisements例一要点：1.广告是我们生活的重要组成部分。它们通常信息量足，吸引人且说服力强，鼓励人民去购买一样产品或一项服务或去相信一个理念。2.广告的形式主要有两种：商业广告和公益广告。商业广告使某人为了推销一项产品或服务而花钱做的广告。而公益广告则是指在给人们提供关于健康，安全或其他任何关乎社会福利问题的知识。其目的是要教育并帮助我们的生活的更好。3.对广告应该保持理性，让广告为你服务：想一下你为什么应该做广告上建议的事，购买广告上所推销的产品或服务。Advertisementsareanimportantpartofourlives.Theyareusuallyinformative,attractiveandpersuasivesoastoencouragepeopletobuyaproductorserviceorbelieveanidea.Therearetwomaintypesofadvertisements—commercialadvertisementsandpublicserviceadvertisement.Acommercialadvertisementisonethatsomeonehaspaidfortopromoteaproductorservice.Publicserviceadvertisementsareintendedtoeducatepeopleabouthealth,safetyandanyotherissuewhichaffectssocialwelfare.Theyaremeanttoteachusandhelpuslivebetterlives.Besmartaboutadvertisementsandletadvertisementsbeatyourservice:thinkaboutwhyyoushoulddothethingstheadvertisementssuggest,orbuytheproductortheservicetheadvertisementspromote..例二要点：

那些可以使我们所有的悲伤减半，使我们的快乐加倍的人。没有真正的朋友的帮助，人就无法从生活中或得最大的乐趣. 2.真正的朋友珍惜你的理想和情感；当你生出困境的时他们不会抛弃你；当你处于顺境时他们不会占你的便宜；当你失落时，他们会向你提出真诚的劝告。3.我们应该选择那些有着良好的性格，优越的能力和善良的心的人做我们的朋友。我们要对朋友以礼相待，宽恕他们的错误并尽可能帮助他们。如果我们这样做了，我们就能保持神圣的友谊之灯终生长明。Friendshipisoneofthegreatestpleasuresthatpeoplecanenjoy.Realfriendsarethosewhocansharealloursorrowsanddoubleourjoys.Nomancanmakemostofhislifewithoutthehelpofhistruefriends.Truefriendscherishyouridealsandfeelings;theywillnotdesertyouwhenyouareinhotwaters:theywillnottakeadvantageofyouwhenyouareinfavorableconditions;andtheywillofferyoutheirsincereadvicewhenyouarelost.WeshouldchoosethoseasourfriendswhohavegoodcharacterGreatabilityandakindheart.We"lltreatourfriendspolitely,forgivetheirmistakesandtrytohelpthemasmuchaspossible.Ifso,we"llbeabletokeepthesacredoffriendshipburningallourlife.例二要点：1.男孩和女孩之间有许多差异，对同一个话题，他们有着不同的想法，甚至有着不同类型的友谊。2.女孩似乎总是有很多话和她们最要好的朋友讲。他们有很多东西互相分享，并且一起做很多事，比如旅游和购物。然而，男孩间几乎不分享他们的感受。他们之间的友谊建立在共有的活动或兴趣的基础上。3.男孩分享活动，而女孩则分享感受。不管这些友谊建立在什么基础上，重要的是要记住两者都是友谊。在我们的生活中,我们都需要朋友。Therearemanydifferencesbetweenteenageboysandteenagegirls.Theyhavedifferentideasaboutthesametopic,andevenhavedifferenttypesoffriendships.Itseemsthatgirlsalwayshavealottotalkaboutwiththeirbestfriends.Theyhavealottosharewitheachother,anddoalotofthingstogether,suchastravellingandshopping.However,boyssharelittleabouttheirfeelingswitheachother.Friendshipbetweenboysarebasedonsharedactivitiesorinterests.Boysshareactivities,whilegirlssharefeelings.Nomatterwhatthesefriendshipsarebasedon,theimportantthingtorememberisthatbothofthemarefriends.Weallneedfriendsinourlives.10DealingwithWaste例一要点：1.怎样清除废物是当今世界的一个大问题，废物必须处理好，才不会危害生命；2.不幸的是，在一些国家，工厂里的废物直接排入河流；人们使用了这些河里的水，就会生病；河水被如此污染，以至杀死所有的鱼；3.当河水流到海里，便污染了海洋；塑料不分解，不应扔到海里；4.1989年，通过了一项制止人们将废物丢入大海的国际法;现在，将任何东西扔进离陆地5公里之内的大海都是违法的。Howtogetridofwasteisagreatproblemfortheworldtoday.Wastemustbetreatedsothatitdoesnotbecomeadangertolife.Unfortunately,insomecountrieswastefromfactoriesisstillpouredstraightintorivers.Peoplewhousethewaterfromoneoftheseriversoftengetsick.Thewatermaybecomesopollutedthatitkillsall

1、澳大利亚是世界上唯一覆盖整个大陆的国家，从北到南距离为3220公里，从东到西3860公里；面积大体相当于美国（阿拉斯加除外） 2、如今人口1800万，大多数人生活在沿海六大城市里；三分之二的国土是干旱的沙漠；首都堪培拉，最大城市为悉尼； 3、澳大利亚非常富裕，出产金属。宝石。煤。谷物。肉和酒，还有世界上最大的铁矿；绵羊占世界的六分之一，羊毛产量几乎达世界的三分之一。

例一要点：1.位于夏威夷的珍珠港是美国主要的军事基地之一。1941 年日本人在那里进行了突袭，这次突袭导致美国卷入了 第二次世界大战。2.1941年11月26日，39艘日本战舰开赴夏威夷群岛。12月7日，他们袭击了在珍珠港的美国机场和美军军舰。3.在上午八点左右，美国战舰“亚利桑那”号遭到了严重的 炮弹袭击并最终爆炸。在不到9分钟的时间内，这艘战舰同艇上1177人一起沉入海底。4.许多其他美国战舰也被击沉或受损严重。在仅仅几个小时内，大约有200架美军战斗机被损毁，美军伤亡人数大约有3000人左右。5.第二天，美国总统富兰克林.罗斯福宣布对日作战。PearlHarborinHawaiiisoneofthemajormilitarybasesoftheUnitedStates.AsurpriseattackwascarriedouttherebytheJapanesein1941,whichledtotheUScomingintotheSecondWorldWar.On26thNovember1941,39JapaneseshipssetsailfortheHawaiianIslands.On7thDecember,theyattackedtheUSairfieldsandtheUSshipsinPearlHarbor.Ataround8,10am,theUnitedStatesShip(USS)Arizonawasheavilybombedandeventuallyexploded.Inlessthan9minutes,theshipsankwith1177menonboard.ManyotherAmericanshipsweresunkorbadlydamaged.Almost200Americanairplanesweredestroyedandabout3000Americansoldierswerekilledorwoundedinjustafewhours.Thenextday,USPresidentFranklinRooseveltdeclaredwaragainstJapan.例二要点：1.广岛是日本的一个现代化城市，拥有大量汽车，摩天大楼和众多商店。2.然而，这座城市过去并不总是这么现代化，它曾极度受损。1945年8月6日，在二战快结束时，美军航空军在广岛投下了第一枚原子弹。这颗炸弹给日本人民造成了巨大的痛苦，它摧毁了广岛近70%的建筑以及其他许多东西。3.在炸弹投下时吗，广岛大约有35万居民。其中大约6万多人被炸死，更多的人则无家可归。许多幸存者都遭受到放射性元素的辐射，以至于后来都死于癌症或者一些因炸弹引起的疾病。即使今天，炸弹的影响依旧存在。Hiroshima is amodernJapanesecity,withlotsofcars,tallbuildingsandplentyofshops.However,this city was not always somodernandsufferedextremelyinthepast.On6thAugust1945,neartheendofWorld WarII,theUSArmyAirCorpsdroppedthefirstatomicbombonHiroshima.ThebombcausedgreathardshipfortheJapanesepeopledestroyingnearly70percentofHiroshima"sbuildingsanddamaging manyothers.Atthetimeofthebomb,therewereabout350000peopleliving inHiorshima.Morethan60000ofthemwerekilledbythebomb,and manymoreweremadehomeless.Manyofthosewhosurvivedwere exposedtoradiation,andlaterdied ofcancerorotherdiseasescaused bythebomb.Eventoday,theeffectsofthebombstillexist.12World Languages例一要点：1. 世界上有几千种语言。说不同语言的人彼此之间不能相互理解。如果世界上每个人都说同一种语言的话，世界将会完全不同。 2.首先，如果每一个人都讲同一种语言，不同国家之间的互相交流理解就会非常容易。我们在国际会议上就不会需要翻译了，这样很大一笔开支就会被节省下来。3.其次，如果每个人都讲同一种语言，人们相互之间就可以和谐共处。说不同语言的人们常常有不同的宗教信仰，这就经常引起误解甚至战争。4.第三，每个人都讲同一种语言将会促进国与国之间的经济文化交流。目前，语言的不同使得跨文化的交流和国际贸易困难重重。因此，如果每个人都讲同一种语言，国家间的交流和贸易就会更容易实现。
