Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing to give you a feedback about a training course I have attended to.
I was a student in a writing training course in your center last month from April 10 to 20.I found that all the staff, from the manager to teachers, were very friendly helpful. I particularly loved my teacher, Mr. Morris, who was so experienced that he helped a lot in learning English. Also, the standard of classrooms were far beyond what I had expected, which were all quite spacious and clean.
However, I found that the restaurant in your center stopped serving lunch at 12.00. As I always had lessons until 12.30, I would have to have lunch outside. I also talked about it with other students, who expressed the same disappointment.
I will be glad to know if my suggestions have turned out to be helpful in improving your service.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
第二篇:
task 2 Some people suggest that dangerous sports should be banned 你agree还是disagree
At present, some people argue that dangerous sports ought to be restricted. However, as far as I am concerned, I totally don’t agree with this viewpoint.
It is evident that there are a variety of benefits about dangerous sports. First of all, they are helpful to the economic development. In other words, because of the ban on dangerous sports, it is highly likely that a large number of employees in such fields like sales for dangerous sports facilities will become unemployed, leading to the soar of unemployment rate, which hinders the economic development. Secondly, they help enrich people’s spare time. Some dangerous sports,such as bungee jumping, always tend to be very exciting and enjoyable. Actually, the majority of young people, especially those creative ones, always complain about their dull lives and often prefer to do some exciting sports, therefore, dangerous sports are a good way for people to spend their leisure time. Finally, they are great for cultivating one’s personality. Specifically, by taking part in some dangerous sports, people eventually learn to never give up easily when encountering difficulties, which should be necessary for success.
Admittedly, there are some disadvantages about dangerous sports. For instance, people are more likely to get hurt when doing some dangerous sports. However, most of the injuries can be prevented by various measures, such as upgrading sports facilities.
In conclusion, I am convinced that dangerous sports shouldn’t be banned, not only because they are good to economy, but for they are essential for individuals as well. Also, I suggest that we should make greater efforts to secure the health of the dangerous sports players.

说实话,偶真的觉得写得蛮好的~~结构很清晰,不过木有查字数合不合要求。
我只发现两个非常非常小的疑问
Task1 第一句 a training course I have attended to (这个to需要么,attend sth,及物,是不是)
Task2 learn to never give up easily,语法正确,但我读起来总觉得easily放give up前面顺点的?
最后,膜拜一下,反正我看着写得很好,支持复议~~

The charts present the number of Japanese who took oversea travel each year from 1985 to 1995, and show how many of these oversea travelers chosen Australia as their destination.
In the first chart, the statistic reveals that the tourists increased 3 times during the 11 years, from the very beginning 5m to 15m in 1995. The increase is quite stable, about 1-2m per year with two exceptions. The first one is that the tourist number decreased about 0.5m in 1991. After it ramped up again in 1992, it kept almost unchanged in 1993.
The second chart gives Australia share of the Japanese tourist market. Along with the population of oversea travel in Japan, most and most Japanese went to Australia. The percentage also tripled in this period, from 2% to 6%. The market share rose steadily from 2% in 1985 to almost 5% in 1988. Then it suddenly dropped to 4.2% in 1989. Afterward, it went back to the up track until it reached the peak of 6.2% in 1993. Finally the share reduced a little to 6% in 1994.
谢谢谢谢,第一个问题是他回忆错了,说是当时觉得不肯定to,所以用了take part in应该没什么问题了吧,语法问题写完了还认真检查了一下。
俺老公找了个北二外的英语老师,是剑桥商务英语的考官,婆婆同事的女儿,看了说这文章怎么都该给个6.5的,比起之前给她看的文章说是强不知多少了,强烈建议老公复议,说这样都给5.5也太折磨人了,呜呜,俺老公当天考试出来也说作文是这次发挥的最好的,说肯定没问题,结果就是这个出问题了。
关于参考资料,我推荐那本十天写作的书,一些思路还是很有用的,如分类法,替换法。我在准备CE的时候,还时常翻翻,找找字词替换、段落逻辑结构等。下面这篇文章的写作方式很有用,不妨一读。
Genetically Modified Foods: Harmful or Helpful pdf (通过搜索很容易找到;内容不要管他;我第一遍读的时候还以为作者参考了十天写作的那本书,实际上这个文章早在2000年就发表了;可见写作还是很有套路的)
1、两图联系:
(1)1989年和1994年,日本到国外的旅游增加,但是去澳洲的比例却减少。
(2)除此之外,日本到国外旅游增加,则去澳洲比例也增加
2、两图描写:
(1)趋势
(2)关键点的数值,如柱状图的85年(第一年,最低),95年(唯一的下降),和91年(最后一年,最高)。另外一个图也一样的
3、词汇错误
“along with the population of oversea travel in Japan, most and most Japanese went to Australia. "一个应该是more and more表示越来越多,不是most and most;还有好像语法不对,但是我也不太懂了。
仅供参考哈~~
小作文回忆出来了,如下。题目是回信表示接受朋友邀请去另外一个国家,说一下你的感受、何时能去、最想在那做什么。
Dear Bob,
I hope this letter finds you and Ashwini well.
Thank you for inviting me to your home in India. I am thrilled at the idea of spending a short summer vacation there since India, for me, has always been so mysterious and ethnical.
I have the entire June at my disposal because my son has been sent to my parents-in-law for the summer. Practically I could just jump on a plane right away!
I have always been hearing about how glamorous Indian weddings can be. Do you think that by any chance I can see one for myself during my stay? In addition, I can’t wait to go shopping for the traditional Indian women clothing. They are just gorgeous!
I will let you know when I get my visa ready.
Could you mail back at your earliest convenience to tell me about your arrangement details so I can book my ticket?
Thanks and best regards,
Crystal

Topic: Earlier technological development brought more benefits changes to the life of ordinary people than the recent technological development does. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Currently the world has been totally changed by the technology. There are several technological milestones in the history, such as fire, iron, electricity, and computer. Some people believe that earlier technologies brought more benefits to human beings than later ones, for example, fire is more important than computer science for the society. I disagree.
Of course there are technology and technology, but a era's technological icon is always significant, such as fire and iron. Fire has been used about 20,000 years ago, changed our ancestors' life because fire offers safe food, frightens wild animals, and helps form original tribes. No fire, no human society. Despite its importance, iron's position cannot be ignored, either, though iron technology has been developed much later than fire, about 2000~3000 years ago, up to different districts. Iron offers efficient tools for agriculture, weapons for wars, and even today, steel industry is also a fundamental part of the world's economics. If there is no iron, today's people may be ploughing with wooden tools, and fighting with stone. Therefore, earlier technological development may not be more important than later one.
People are of earlier technology is sometimes reasonable. Human's technology is just like human's population, it grows faster and faster, like breeding. If the whole technology is a tree, fire, iron, electricity and computer science these milestones should be the trunk, from the root to the top, earlier technology nearer to the root, and the other technologies like phones, televisions, or movies are branches and leaves. In this tree's top layer, there are countless technologies, many of which are very important, too, like plastic, missiles, tanks, and internet, but because there are so many technologies that many people consider them to be less important than those near the root.
In conclusion, human's technologies are growing in an increasingly rapid speed, but they construct our civilization, because they are a whole, with a same root, and in the future, many new technologies will be developed based on them.
Writing Task 1
You and your family are living in rented accommodation in a English-speaking country. You are not satisfied with the condition of some of the furniture
Writing a letter to the landlord. In your letter
1)introduce yourself
2)Explain what is wrong with the furniture
3)say what action you would like the landlord to take
Dear John,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction about some of furniture in my newly rented apartment which belongs to you.
As you know, my family who migrants from other nation two years ago was always disturbed until we started to live in your apartment. However, I find out some of furniture was damaged due to lacking of being repaired, and I also point out the ones which looks like being made in the 80’s is too old-fashioned, besides, a few drawers of my desk are missing ,which make me fairly inconvenient; therefore, I feel that you can see the gravity of my complaint and I shall appreciate it if you will give priority to handle this matter.
If it is convenient for you, perhaps you could simply replace the new furniture with the old ones or repair them at least.
I would be grateful if you could take the matter into consideration and solve it at your earliest convenience and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Writing Task 2
Some argue that nowadays consumers buy lots of goods they don’t actually needs because they are influenced by advertisements. To what extend do you agree or disagree.
As advertisements being created in this spinning world, the issue of plenty of consumers buy lots of goods they don’t actually needs because they are influenced by advertisements has drawn a widespread attention. The problem which disturbs a large number of wives and husbands are becoming increasingly worrying. The issue has triggered a heated discussion, generating different views. Some people say they are not influenced by advertisements when they go shopping, while others insist who bought dozens of ones which is useless suffering from being misled by advertisements we watch every day. I think the former is more convincing would qualify it to some extent.
It is regarded as the most effect way to choose what you want to buy is watching advertisements; however, demand is the root cause why individuals buy goods rather than being affected by advertisements. To begin with, even if advertisements are full of TVs, metros, elevators and so forth, little ones can be memorized ;therefore ,it is impossible for us to be influenced by advertisements when we go shopping because we cannot remember them. For another , the environment where you purchase plays an pivotal role in making decision to buy. If all people around buy some in front of you, probably, you will put it in your shopping cart, which can be proved by shopping psychology. More specifically when it comes to the prices, I have to accept that lots of people tend to pick up commodities with low price no matter what they have known these advertisements of low- price goods or not. Above all, advertisements just offer shopping information to consumers, while their demand is one of the most important factors convince them to purchase.
On the other hand, I don’t denied that sometimes we are willing to buy goods we don’t need is just owing to the discounts information printed on the leaflets, no matter how many times they promise not to buy useless commodities, they will do it again, but we cannot blame the discount information of advertisements, obviously, nothing force us to do it but ourselves.
Having considered all the argument above, I would insist that demand is the key making consumers buy rather than advertisements.

剑3, test 2, writing task 2
When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive.
to what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.
With the fast development of modern technology, the concerns over the fading-away of the traditional skills and life style have risen. More and more people argue that we should try the best to protect and keep them alive. However leaving the decision to the history may be a better choice.
It’s true that those conventional skills and old life style have been lasting for centuries. To some extent, they have become part of our culture and hard to abandon. Some of them, for example travelling by horse wagon, compared with the modern techniques, such as car, are more environment-friendly. In addition, some of the unique skills, like those in arts, are not replaceable by machine.
Despite of all the mentioned advantages, we cannot deny their negative effects. Traditional skills and way of life are usually slow. They’re time consuming and not cost –effective. That’s the key reason why they cannot beat the new technology in the competition. The history tells us that advanced technology drives away the elementary one is a natural process. Iron tools replaced the stone one; architecture made people move from the cave to house; with paper, we don’t need to write on leaves anymore; telephone facilitate the live talk with a person thousands miles away. The replacement is a fate and not avoidable. In another word, this is the civilization where only stronger survives.
To conclude the debate, I believe that history will make the right choice. Only those that stand the test of time can escape the fate of dying out.
