Writing practice 1108, thanks. Nowadays, who should take the main responsibility to take actions to prevent global climate change has attracted numerous controversies and drawn the attention from the public. Some people believe that governments or large corporations should shoulder the main responsibility because they have more resources to deal with it, while others hold the view that global warming affects everyone so individuals should take actions to prevent it. From my perspective, I think governments, corporations and individuals all should take actions however individuals should take the main responsibility. At the outset, there are numerous reasons to explain why individuals should take the main responsibility, but the most conspicuous one lies in that the quantitative of individuals is much greater than that of governments or corporations so if all the individuals take environmental friendly actions, the effects will be remarkable. Also, individuals could take actions immediately once they have accepted the urgency to prevent climate change. For example, one can take public transportation more often rather than driving his own car. Therefore, individuals play an important roles when dealing with climate change. Nevertheless, some people adopt the opposing view and lead to believe that large corporations could do a lot of research to find the best way to deal with the climate change and governments could amend the environment laws to prevent heavy air pollutions. Both of them have large power to deal with the climate change and should take the responsibility. In conclusion, from what we discussed above, it can be concluded that individuals could do a better job in environmental area if they could receive the help form governments and large corporations.

writing practice Nov.7, thanks Nowadays, whether to try dangerous sports like jump diving or parasailing or not has attracted numerous controversies and drawn attention from the public. Some people believe that it’s too risky to do these sports while others hold the views that it will be an unforgotten valuable experience when trying these dangerous sports. From my perspective, I favor these dangerous sports especially when precautions have been taken. At the outset, there are numerous reasons to explain why more and more people favor these dangerous sports, but the most conspicuous one lies in the fact that these sports are really cool and not everyone could have chances to try them in their entire life. For example, it takes great courage to jump from a helicopter. One can take photos and record videos while taking these sports and all these precious photos and videos can be shared with family members and friends. Therefore, dangerous sports like mirrors, one can see his courage, determination and reactions in these mirrors. Nevertheless, some people adopt an opposing view and tend to believe that dangerous games looks fantastic in one angle sometimes but for the participants who are involved in these games it’s too risky. For example, some people may have heart diseases and it’s not suitable for them; some games may be lack of security check and it may lead to some miserable results. In conclusion, from what we discussed above, I think both sides are reasonable. However, I am in favor of these games but the security is top priority.

English writing practice, thanks Nowadays whether to migrate from rural area to urban area for the occupational requirement or not has attracted numerous controversies and drawn the attention from public. Some people believe that the migration is very wise while others hold the view that the migration is totally unnecessary. From my perspective, I think that the migration is a better choice.

At the outset, there are numerous reasons to explain why the migration to urban area is a better idea, but the most obvious one lies in the fact there are more occupational opportunities in the city and it’s very convenient to live near the work place. For example, most financial related workplaces lie in the downtown of my city. If graduated students find jobs in downtown, it’s advisable to rent nearby. Thus, workplace locations play a vital role in the decision-making process.

On the other hand, some people adopt opposing view and lend to believe that it is not very necessary to migrate to the urban from the rural area. For example, some people think the air are clearer in the rural area and the public transportations can solve the commuting problem. However, they have not considered the time and the energy that is spent on transportation.

In conclusion, from what we have been discussed above, we can conclude that migrating to urban is reasonable especially when considering the occupation opportunities and commuting costs.

As a professor of the economic law college of Shanghai University, I am glad to recommend my student Miss. Yang for her application in future study.

In China's college entrance examination 2015, Miss.Yang was ranked at top 5% of law school and was admitted into the excellent law class. In the following three years, she kept a good academic grade that demonstrating her excellent learning ability.

What impressed me the most was that, after she completed the economic law with a good grade, she still retook the course in the next semester. During the semester break, she read economics books and also took an internship at a fund management company. She did this in order to further consolidate the theoretical basis, and better understand the background knowledge of the subject. Her following performance on case studies or presentations of the course, or my another lecture –The information society and digital age, both improved significantly. She shows a deeper understanding of relevant knowledge, a clearer logical thinking of legal practice, and an excellent ability of independent thinking.

In view of her excellent academic performance and rigorous study attitude, I am quite willing to recommend her for further study in an advanced university, and believe that she has enough ability to complete the study tasks in the postgraduate stage.

Writing practice - mars The reading passage explores the issue that sending humans to Mars faces several problems. The professor's lecture points out that these problems can be settled by means of techniques.

First, even though the reading passage suggests that round-trip to Mars needs enough supplies of food, water, and oxygen since it will take at least two years, the professor argues that astronauts can use hydroponics, the way to cultivate plants without soil, to to solve this problem. This is because by growing crops, astronauts maintain their food supplies. Besides, such kind of eco-system can provide them with drinking water and oxygen. Obviously, the professor's argument disproves its counterpart in the reading.

Moreover, despite the statement in the reading that astronauts will suffer from negative effect in the zero-gravity environment of space during the two-year mission, the professor contends that this condition can be changed. She supports this point with the fact that exercising and replenishing vitamin can relieve such suffering.

Finally, the professor asserts that the threat of space radiation can be controled whereas the author of the reading claims that astronauts would definately be harmed by it. The professor suggests that astronauts only face the solar radiation occasionally and that they can hide in the shielder when it occurs.

In conclusion, the professor clearly identified the weakness in the reading passage and convincingly shows that the problems mentioned in the reading can be solved.

Writing practice - thank you letter Dear Sir,

I am writing to express my sincerely gratitude to your restaurant. My friends and I spent the wonderful time at your restaurant yesterday.

We wondered around on the street and tried to find a fancy restaurant to celebrate our important moment yesterday. Suddenly we saw yours and we are attracted by the decoration styles and the cozy environments. Then we all agreed to give it a shot and it turned out that we made the right decision.

The reason why we celebrated together is that yesterday was my friend’s 25 birthday. We have been best friends since high school. Whoever of us spends his birthday, the rest of us are coming together to celebrate spontaneously.

Besides the delicious food in your restaurant, what impressed us most is your warm service. After the waiter knew it was the birthday of my friend, he told us there are some special items for us according to their rules. He serve us 4 complimentary glasses of champagne and a lighted candle. We sang the birthday song together, made wishes, blew the candle and drank the wines. I believe it will be an unforgettable experience for all of us.

Warm regards,

Richard

English writing practice - photo required. Thank you for your time Hi Miffy,

How are you this week? Still feeling exciting about our trip last week! I am writing this letter to ask you if you have time to make up pictures we took during the trip, and could you please send me the photo that you take for the whole lake.

I ask for this picture because it really matches the new decorated wall of my living room. Because the color of the wallpaper is a special dark blue, it’s hard to find a suitable color of photo to hang. I have tried many photos, but no one batter than that.

I also took a similar photo just behind you, but at the position I stood, the light on the lack is too dark, and I think yours will be better than mine. You can email me several pictures if you are not sure which one is the one I need.

Cheers!

Richard
