基础写作：就家长反对自己集邮写求助信

假如你热衷集邮,但家长并不支持,于是你向一个学生心声的专栏写信咨询解决的办法。内容包括：

1.你的意见：(1)增长知识；(2)减压；(3)挣钱。

2.家长意见：(1)浪费钱；(2)占了学习时间。

Dear Sir,

I’m a Grade-Two student in a senior high school. I’ve always been fond of collecting stamps since I was a child. As far as I’m concerned,collecting stamps is a meaningful hobby, helping me to know a lot. Besides, dealing with my collection of stamps not only gives me great satisfaction but also helps me relax under the great pressure of studies. What’s more,I even earn money by selling some stamps and my collection will be more valuable as times goes by.

However, my parents are strongly against it for they consider it as a waste of money and they also think that sorting out my stamps may take up too much of my time, which should be spent on my studies.

I don’t want to argue with them any more. Could you help me out? Looking forward to your early reply!

任务写作：该不该迫使孩子学习他们不感兴趣的才艺

培养孩子的兴趣爱好是非常必要的,但现在有很多家长一味地追求子女的多才多艺,迫使孩子学习他们不感兴趣的东西,请你以大约120个词谈谈对这种现象的看法,内容包括：

1.你是否赞同上述家长的做法; 2.以你或你朋友的经历说明你的观点; 3.呼吁家长们要尊重孩子的意愿。

Today’s children are lucky to have many opportunities to develop their talents. But on the other hand, a lot of parents push their children too hard.(26 words)

In that case, I don’t envy them. It is true that good hobbies make life more colorful and enjoyable. However, things are different if children take no interest in the “hobby” that their parents choose for them. Without interest as motivation, they find it a burden rather than a hobby. My 6-year-old neighbour often cries while practicing the piano. She is busier on weekends than on weekdays because she has to attend many extracurricular activities. Her mother complains that she even sleeps in class.

Therefore, parents should see the bad effects from their over-effort to cultivate children’s talents. Parents are supposed to help children learn what they are interested in. Only in this way can they learn well and be happy!(121 words)
