热点预测1：健康生活

1.网瘾

中国社会近些年一直提倡健康生活方式，但网瘾普遍存在于青少年之中，对其学习和生活都造成了很大不良影响！

题目要求：

假设你是李华，你在美国夏令营认识的朋友Mike给你来信说他最近沉迷于电脑难以控制。请你给他回一封信，告诉他网瘾可能会导致成绩下降、健康状况恶化、损害家庭关系等问题，并提出一些建议。

参考词汇：沉溺于be/become addicted to  网瘾：Internet addiction

优秀范文：

Dear Jack,

I am glad to hear from you. As your close friend, I’d like to talk about the harm of Internet addiction to you as I feel worried to know that you have wasted lots of valuable time playing the Internet games.

As we know, the Internet is a convenient tool to improve our knowledge and skills. However, our life will be greatly affected if we are addicted to it. For example your grades may go down and your health will be going from bad to worse. To make things worse, it can also damage the relationship with your family. So I think it is high time that you got rid of the bad habit. It is a good idea for you to read some meaningful books and do some physical exercise.

I am looking forward to hearing your good news soon．

Yours,

Li Hua

2.健康生活——拒为低头族

伴随着互联网日益深入人们的生活，低头一族诞生并不断增加，公交车、地铁等公共场合到处都是低头看手机者的身影，手机已经成为低头族身体的一部分。同时，这种生活方式对人们的身体健康造成极大的不良影响，应当引起相当重视。

题目要求：

现在越来越多的人成为低头族（People who can’t help checking their phones all day are known as phubbers. Phubbing trends to involve not only the young people, but also the elderly.)，如何引导低头族抬头？你们班举行了以“拒为低头族”为主题的班会。假设你是学生李华，请为班会写一篇100词左右的发言稿。

要点如下：

1.你周围有低头族吗？他们成为“低头族”的原因。

2.成为“低头族”给学习和生活带来的影响。

3.就如何“拒为低头族”提一些建议。

优秀范文：

Nowadays, we can see many people are watching their mobile phones in subway, restaurants, elevators, roads and so on. There is no denying that people who like the mobile phone are concerned about its attractive functions. Phubbers can’t stop sending messages, surfing the Internet, listening to music and even taking photos by using the mobile phone. Moreover, some people have less time to relax themselves. They make use of the time when they are on the way to school or other places to play mobile games.

However, phubbing disturbs not only our study but also our life. On the one hand, phubbers waste lots of time playing cell phone games and sending messages, particularly in class. Other people also complain they are disturbed when phones ring in classrooms. On the other hand, it can lead to health problems. For instance, using a mobile phone on the sofa can cause back and neck pain.

As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do cherish everything around us and appreciate the scenery ahead of us. What’s more, we should do more exercises and take part in real-life activities. In a word, only when we use the phone reasonably, can we realize the happiness of life.

热点预测4：新四大发明

1.关于高铁

题目要求：

高铁给人们的出行带来了快捷和方便，请你写一篇短文简单介绍武广高铁。

基本情况：

2.途经湖北、湖南和广东；
3.列车时速高达350公里/小时，目前世界上最快。

主要优点：
1. 武汉至广州仅需3个小时，比先前减少7个多小时；
2. 高铁列车设施齐全，安全舒适。

美中不足：
1.票价偏高；
2.车站离市中心较远。

优秀范文：

First built in 2005, the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway went into operation on December,26th,2009. Overall length of its main line is 1068 kilometers, and it goes through the following three provinces: Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong.

The speed of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway is 350km/h,the fastest speed in the world now, which makes it only three hours needed from Wuhan to Guangzhou, seven hours less than before. Besides, there are all kinds of facilities in the train, which make your trip safe and comfortable, so it is more humanitarian.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that the train fare is too high and the station is quite far away from the downtown area.

2.移动支付

题目要求：

随着微信，支付宝、银行APP等的发展想必大家都爱用他们支付购买。那么，通过网络进行的货币支付或资金流转给我们的生活带来了哪些好处呢?请你以移动支付的好处为主题写一篇英语短文。

优秀范文：

The Advantages of Online Payment

Online payment has been advocated around the world, which is the future way to pay bills. In China, Alipay is popular everywhere, even the small business can be finished by this advanced way. People play the joke that they don’t need to worry about the lack of cash. The advantages of online payment are obvious.

Firstly, it saves people’s time to pay bills. The use of online payment is carried out with a smart phone. Especially when we go to the supermarket, there are always a lot of people waiting in the long line. The process of costing customers’ time is to take out the cash or use the credit card, because both customers and cashiers need to count the money or check the bills. But now the cashier can just scan the phone and the bill will be paid and the customer can check quickly.

Second, people don’t have to worry about getting the fake cash. Many years ago, people were easy to get fake money as they received the change. But now, as the cash have been used less, people won’t receive the fake cash without paper money. With the development of new applications, our life will be much convenient.

提示词：智能手机 smartphone，二维码 the QR code

优秀范文：

Dear Jim,

I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike--mobike mentioned in your latest letter.

It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy your trip.

Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well.

Hope to ride a mobike with you in China.

Yours,

Li Hua

优秀范文：

With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need.

Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which themost important is perhaps its convenience. People don't haveto waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person（亲自）. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouses（点击鼠标）. The commodities they order will be delivered（运送）to them promptly.             

However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the consumers can't see the goods or try them on（试穿，试验） personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered（注册）. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain.
