reason.explain why the book was important to you.givespecific details and examples to

The book that was important to me was an instruction manual on how to pronounce
English.
When I was a middle school student, I did not speak English very well. I always confused
the Chinese pronunciation with the English pronunciation, and I was frustrated with that.
So I used this book to practice a lot. And there was also a video with this book, so I
watched the video, I practiced and imitated the pronunciation.
Now I have improved my English and also gained some confidence because of the book.
sample 2:
Recently, I read a book named Keep the aspidistra flying written by George Orwell. The
book influences me a lot because the story has something that touches my heart. The
story talks about a man who wants to be a poet and who abandons many well-paying jobs
to pursue his dream of being a poet. I have a similar experience of quitting a very good job
in order to be a writer. Also, the man in the story is lack of money because he works as a
bookstore assistant and thus has a very low salary. He lives in a shabby apartment and
sometimes have no money to buy food. Again, I've got similar experience. I once lived in a
cramped apartment alone and had no money. The book is important to me because it
touches me and gives me encouragement to persist.

Page 1 of 27
,First of all, there is an increase of violence on television and it would do harm to the
children. In fact the children are too young towatch these programs.
In addition, spending too much time on TV is not good for people's health because they
just sit there and hardly move.The most important thing is that a lot of people nowadays
rely on the programs on TV to avoid the reality. Gradually, they become isolated from the
society.
sample 2:
I think television has a positive influence on society. It's a good source of news. The
members in the society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep
themselves informed of what's happening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on
TV everyday just to keep up with the latest events. Besides, television can be a kind of
entertainment. People can watch different shows on TV such as funny talk shows and
soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Late show with David Letterman and
some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost and Friends. They all consider TV
as a good way of relaxing themselves and of killing time. So, with the news and same TV
programs, people in a society share a lot of things that they can talk about in any event.
Therefore, society actually benefits from TV.
3.what do you miss most about your home when you are away? use specific details in
your explaination. - correct answers ✅I miss food most when I am away from my home,
particularly the noodles cooked by my father. When I was in high school, my father
always cooked noodles for me at night. Every day after evening self-study classes, I came
home and had the noodles. The noodles were delicious, coz you know, after long-time
study, it's easy to be tired and hungry. So the first thing I did when I got home at that time
was to eat noodles. Sometimes, my father would add beef to the noodles and beef is kind
of my favorite meat. The most important ingredient of the noodles is the specially-made
sauce. Sadly, I don't know how exactly my father makes the sauce. But whenever I go
back home, I need to have the noodles cooked by my father.

4.many university now offer academic courses over the internet .however ,some people

correct answers ✅I prefer to take academic courses on the Internet. Since the courses are
offered online, I don't have to live near campus. All I need is a computer and a well-
connected Internet. I can study at home and anywhere convenient. Besides, I don't have
to worry about my housing, nor do I need to drive back and forth. So it saves me money
and time. Also, it's easier to record online courses so I can review the part I don't
understand. With the recorded courses, I can have a good review before final
examination.

to an Internet Bar. It is still open now. It's only 5-minute's walk away from my home and
sits beside the street. The internet bar is not very big. It only has two rooms and each is
full of computers. In summer vacations, My friends and I usually went there early in the
morning playing many computer games such as Age of Empire, Star War and Counter
Strike. The owner of the bar is a very kind person. He opened the door very early in the
morning just for us. My friends and I occupied a room, sit side by side and yelled to each
other when we were playing games. It was a lot of fun.
