Sample essay 1:My favorite Sport Team: the Chinese Women s Volleyball TeamIn quite a few sports, Chinese womenathletes outshine men athletes. As a girl, I always feel proud of our women table tennis players, badminton players, women divers and gymnasts. But my greatest enthusiasm always goes to the Chinese WomensVolleyball Team, who, though it has undergone some ups and downs, always presents a positive, inspiring image to the public.I ve never missed any major TV coverage of the Chinese women s team. I can t help getting excited watching the girls shine in court, with their amazing spikes and blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the match. There are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embarrassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must admit that the Chinese girls have been practising very hard all the way.Recent years have witnessed a difficult period for the team as Russian, American, Cuban, and Brazilian teams have been rising in ranking and winning championships, but I still have faith in our team and give them my support. I wish them good luck in the coming Olympics.(196 words)2) Write an essay entitled “The Meaning of Winning a Prize ”. You maybase your writing on what you have learnt from the two texts. The following hints maybe of somehelp. 1) What is a prize?3) What does a prize bring about?4) What is the fundamental meaning of wining prizes? Sample essay 2:In today s society, competitions, contests and games are held virtually every day and everywhere. These activities put the participants into two categories: winners and losers. As symbols of public recognition, prizes are awarded to those who mount the winners stand.A prize brings about fame, prestige and good fortune. Winners are constantly in the spotlight and attract admiring attention. Their friends and colleagues come to congratulate them and their families take pride in them. More often than not, prizes simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as in the case of an Olympic gold medal or a Nobel Prize. Therefore, winners harvest both a good reputation and material rewards.However, this is not the essential meaning of wining a prize. Winners are worthy of respect, admiration and good fortune because they embody some outstanding qualities that are worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and optimism. Anathlete undergoes years of training and takes hundreds of highly demanding challenges before he steps onto that podium; a writer becomes popular overnight after he has spent years writing relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. Whats more,optimism in the face of adversity also contributes a lot to their success. Theybelieve in themselves and have great passion for what they are engaged in. Theyendeavor to do their best, enjoying the process of fighting well. Therefore, thefundamental meaning of winning a prize does not merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting the best part of oneself.(249 words)6欢迎下载 。
