Passage 1:
This book tries to help the inexperienced writer. The first chapter, which is meant as a kind of introduction, contains two main ideas.//
First, it says that a person writes best when he wants to write. Second, it says that anyone can write if he is willing to work hard at it and has access to writing tools and instruments.//
If someone says that he cannot write, he probably means that he either has no experience as a writer or knows of nothing to say at the moment.//
But once a subject or an idea comes alive in his mind, the words also begin to come to life and the person who claims that he is not a writer suddenly begins to act like one.
Passage 2:
Bristol is a truly beautiful, interesting and fascinating city. Beautiful parts and gardens leak onto interesting lanes and footpaths, while houses and buildings of old times stand magnificently on the hills of the city.//
But Bristol is much more than this; it is a modern city where the latest works in contemporary arts can be found and where the night-life is interesting and varied.//
Bristol is surrounded by beautiful countryside, rolling hills, and top class holiday resorts. Some of the country’s most fascinating tourist attractions—castles and palaces==are only a short drive away.//
Bristol has always encouraged the tourist industry and welcomed tourists from all parts of the world. There is superb choice of accommodation available and the city is proud of its many restaurants and cafes.

Passage 2:
中华人民共和国是全国各族人民共同缔造的统一的多民族国家。迄今为止，中国有56个民族。//

在长期的历史发展过程中，中华民族这个大家庭中的各族人民经过融合和迁移，形成了今天的分布格局。

Passage 1:
I have come to China for the beautiful future of our two countries. I am firmly convinced that, together, we two peoples can and will make tomorrow a better day.//
We may be distinctly different in language, customs, and political beliefs; but n many vital questions of our time there is little distance between the American and Chinese people.//
China’s economy advances with the dynamics of change. Unlike some governments, which fear change and fear the future, China is beginning to scale new heights.//
On behalf of all the members of my delegation, I’d like to express our highest respect for your courage and welcome the opportunity to walk by your side.
Passage 2:
Last year a research was carried out on the skills of university students. The findings confirm the worry of employers about the lack of basic skills in some university graduates.//
The research showed that less than 20% of all university students achieves the levels expected of them in the three key skills, that is, communication, the application of number and information technology.//
Some teachers and experts have argued that there are two other key skills which the university students might be expected to show. These skills are: to improve their own learning and to work with others.//
If we add in these skills, the research showed that only about a dozen university students among nearly two hundred who were tested scored top marks, which is, of course, a very disappointing and uncomfortable figure.
