▆ Sample Essay for Task 1:
One weekend morning, while walking on a bustling street with a light heart, I was suddenly overtaken by a startling moan. Turning around, I discovered the sound was coming from a black

mass in a corner. “ What?s that? ” My heart pounded heavily. I wentdsawup anhuman being,
alive but in a dreadful state. He was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs,
mumbling something. He had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. A dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.
As my eyes were drift ing away from him , his eyes caught mine suddenly. What eyes they were! Filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. He was unable to speak, but I seemed to hear his pleading voice and read his despairing mind. His look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longing for help. For a while, I was at a loss what to do. Should I drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-by or turn away in indifference? I recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. Could this be another one of those scams? But the beggar was there, groaning and living. Then something seemed to hit me hard. I drew a five-yuan note from my pocket, dropped it in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.
“ No good deed is too small.
” Maybe we need to bear this saying in mind.
▆ Sample Essay for Task 2:
We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of
insecurity fill the environment we live in.
All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated
and care only about ourselves. If things go on like this, ,trust?, ,teamwork?, and ,harmony? will eventually become terms unheard of.
In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society.
