Write Through Applying Grammar Rules
Manual labor is one of the principal development resources in
any industrializing country, as the
following examples
demonstrate. To begin with, plowing fields, planting
and
harvesting crops, and raising livestock are all important to
development and require people who work with their hands.
Secondly, mining natural resources, building roads and bridges,
and constructing dams for irrigation and electrical power are
also important to development and also require people who
know how to use their hands skillfully. Finally, the establishment
of efficient transportation and communication systems, essential
services in a modernizing economy, relies heavily on a labor
force of expert craftsmen who take pride in their manual skills.
And of course, the manufacture as well as the maintenance of
machines of all kinds demands a large number of trained
mechanics and technicians. Clearly, in agriculture and in industry,
the progress of a country depends on the busy hands of its
working people.

My Favorite Hobbies
I enjoy three hobbies in my free time. My first hobby is playing
with my two-year-old son. I especially like to teach him new
words. He listens very carefully to me and copies what I say. I
also like to take him for walks. When his small hands cling to my
hand, I feel so close to him, and his wide smile warms my heart.
If we play ball, he gets excited and screams with joy.
Unfortunately, the ball makes the neighbor’s dog bark.
My second hobby is watching TV with my son. We watch
Sesame Street together almost every day. It helps us learn
English. The English on the news is too fast and really frustrates
me. My son sits beside me, and sometimes we laugh until the
tears come.
My third hobby is planting flowers in my garden. When I am
watering the flowers, I feel a joy like the joy I feel when I am
feeding my son. When I see the plants and flowers grow up inch
by inch, I think of how my son is growing up, too. I wish the
snails would stop eating my plants, though. These three hobbies
fill me with a special pleasure like none I have ever experienced
before.

Write Through Using Topic and Supporting Sentences
Owning a car can be expensive. First, you have to
purchase the car itself. If you get the cheapest new car
in the showroom, you will end up paying about $6 000.
Before you can drive the car home, you have to finance
the car. Unless you have $6 000 in cash, you will have
to get a loan with high interest rates and pay a monthly
note of around $200. Buying the car, however, is just
the beginning of your expenses. Next, you have to buy
gasoline at over a dollar a gallon. If you drive an
average of 100 miles a week and get 35 miles per
gallon, you will end up spending $6 to $10 a week on
gas. That is about $40 a month. Add to that the
expenses you have for maintenance, such as tune-ups
and lubrication, and you have another $35 per month.
All of these add up to about $300 a month — a big
chunk of anyone’s paycheck!

Lin Fang is being interviewed by a group of interviewers.
She is applying for a job as a museum interpreter. This is a
part-time job on weekends. The interviewers want to know
why she is asking for this job. She says that she is
interested in history and likes to work with the public. And
the interviewers ask her whether she has had such
experiences before. Lin Fang tells them that she hasn’t got
any experience on this job, but she has seen the museum
interpreter at work many times. So she is familiar with the
set-up. At the end of the interview, she is told to come to
