In order to study at English Department, you have to meet the following requirements.In the first place, you have to spend a lot of time on it, just as the old saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”.In the second place, the basic skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are neceary, because they are the foundations for your future study.Last but not the least, you need an intense interest in learning English since “interest is the best teacher.”

Yours,

An Eye-Witne Account of a Traffic Accident
My name is Liming.I am studying at college.A week ago I saw a traffic accident, which is still vivid in my mind.
It was at about 9:00 on Saturday morning, June 15th, when I went out of the university to visit a friend of mine at another university.I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk when I heard a loud crash of two vehicles just at the T-junction about 10 meters away.Two taxis crashed together.It was a traffic accident.
I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged.Both hoofs were out of shape.One door of a car was knocked off and lying on the road.One driver was blooding and another was shut in the taxi.Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car.One man was calling to the traffic policeman station.A lot of cars were jammed on the road.
From the stopping track on the road, it is clear that the two taxis were driving too fast.But it is just one of the reasons.In my opinion, the taxi drivers are eager to take more paengers and make a little more money.On the other hand, both drivers don’t show concern for one another.Both of them wanted to run in front of another.Therefore, the accident is inevitable.So far, we should let the drivers keep it in their mind that a little slower, a little safer.Taking care of other’s lives means taking care of your own life.

2002年6月四级英语作文真题
Student Use of Computers.
1． 图所示为1990年、1995年、2002年某校大学生使用计算机的情况，请描述其变化；
2． 请说明发生这些变化的原因（可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明）；
3． 你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。
Student Use of Computer As what is shown in the picture, since 1990, there has been tremendous growth in the use of computers by students.While in 1990, the average number of hours a student spent on the computer was about one hour per week, and this number grew to nearly four hours per week by 1995, and to approximately 20 hours per week by the year 2000.
This significant growth in the use of computers by students in the 1990’s can be attributed to several factors, including widespread usage, lower prices, and technological and social developments.Nowadays, computers are widely used by students for word proceing, book keeping, multimedia presentations, and acce to the Internet for both research and communications.Additionally, since 1990, due to competition and technological advances, computer hardware and software prices, as well as Internet usage charges have dropped significantly.Finally, technological developments and changes in social habits in the 1990’s have played a major role in this tremendous growth in the use of computers.Today’s society relies heavily on computers for immediate acce to the news and for entertainment, including listening to music, watching movies and sport events, and playing computer games.
While computers are of great aistance to the students, and therefore, are indispensable tools, they also pose some challenges.The biggest challenge that many students face is discipline in the use of this powerful device.That is, students need to have the discipline of not allowing themselves to be lured by the entertaining aspects of this wonderful tool—aspects that can result in addiction to computer games or viewing of undesirable material on the Internet.That is to say, students need to use this powerful tool with great wisdom!

Traveling Abroad
10
From the table, we can see that in the past 10 years, the number of people in a given city who have gone traveling abroad has increased considerably.Especially in the recent 5 years, the figure has been more than tripled, surging from 40,000 to 120,000.
Here are several reasons for the change.Firstly, with the development of economy, more and more people become better off.And their ability to finance their trip abroad is growing.Secondly, tourism has greatly developed over the decade.Travel agencies offer not only domestic packages but also travel specials abroad.In addition, individuals today are expected and encouraged to go outside to widen their horizon and to face the real world of globalization.In this way they hope to keep themselves informed of what is going on around the world.
From the changes reflected in the table, we can predict that the number of individuals going out of the country will boost.This encouragingly and inevitably facilitates the cultural exchange between ours and the rest of the world and this trend will be irreversible.
