Slide113: 

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. A good friend should cheer you up when you are feeling down. In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends. A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. A friend is one who accepts me as I am. A friend is one you look up to in some way and yet you can be critical of. A friend is one who knows you and loves you just he same. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Slide114: 

Bosom friends Congenial friends Close friends Intimate friends One’s confidant A circle of friends

Slide115: 

Valuable sayings: Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. If someone betrays you one, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. Show your friends how much you care.

1．写作步骤 审题、构思、展开段落、修改定稿 2．写作过程重点部分 段落的展开即初稿的完成，是写作过程中最重要的一步。 文章有文章的中心主题，段落有段落的主题。但是段落中阐述的内容是为文章主题服务的。 注意句子与句子、段落与段落之间的逻辑过渡。恰当的使用过渡词和过渡句将使段落结构严谨，同时容易将内容展开。段与段之间的衔接要运用必要的“启、承、转、合”手段，使文章结构合理完整。 文章段落和句子的“启、承、转、合” 在一篇文章中，各自然段、句子都是为文章的中心思想服务，各段落、句子之间存在着某种逻辑关系。文章段落之间的逻辑关系是由过渡词来完成，在修辞上称启、承、转、合。即开头、承接、转合、综合或总结。

Slide175: 

The Value of Time 开始段 （启） A proverb says: “Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time. 扩展段 （承、转） It goes without saying that the time at our disposal is usually limited. Hence, even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things. As students we must not spare our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve society and our nation in the future. But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They spend their precious time smoking, drinking and gambling. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life. 结尾段 （合） In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.

These days TV offers people a chance of education in various fields. TV stations in China provide not only language courses, but also a number of other courses, such as trade, management, law, accounting, finance and so on. In fact, it has become a remarkable part of China’s education system. If there were no education on TV, we wouldn’t have present economic growth as present colleges and universities are too few to train a large number of professionals who are now playing an important role in the nation’s four modernizations. It is estimated that, every one out of four professionals received college education on TV. Therefore, the government should make the education on TV more available to people on the one hand, and improve the teaching quality and testing system on the other hand so as to satisfy the urgent needs for more qualified professionals.
