To: Mr. Gates, Managing Director
From: John Smith, Head of the Administrative Department
Date: March 18, 2006
Subject: Office Health and Safety Provisions
On the request of the Managing Director, I have investigated into the problems raised with regard to office health and safety. Particularly, I have talked to office managers concerning any accidents or job-related illnesses, which have occurred, and I was supposed to recommend ways to improve the situation.
A study was made about all accidents that were reported in the last year. It shows three main causes: failure to follow safety regulations; faulty equipment; inadequate knowledge of health and safety procedures of new staff.
Records of all job-related illness were also studied during the past year. Meetings will be held to discuss measures to be taken.
Proposals:
It is suggested that a list of safety regulations be clearly displayed in the company’s dining room and main offices.
Make sure the new staff are well informed of the company’s safety regulations and policy.
The Personnel Manager should take the responsibility of instructing all new staff on the procedures regarding the use of office equipment and machinery.
It is indispensable for all staff to exercise fire drill procedures at least twice a year.
It is decided by office managers that old office equipment be replaced with newer models, especially chairs without right back support.

In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following chart. In your writing, you should interpret the chart, and give your comments. You should write at least 150 words. Write your essay on the ANSWER SHEET 2.
答案：
解析：
This bar chart shows mobilephone subscriptions in developing countries and developed countries,measured in billions,for the years 2000 to 2008.The mobilephone subscriptions in both developing countries and developed countries enjoyed increase in different speed over time.In this chart,the mobilephone subscription in developed countries maintained a continual and steady increase from 2000 to 2007 and remained constant in 2008.Meanwhile,the mobilephone subscription in developing countries have undergone a slow increase from 2000 to 2004 and then saw a great surge from 2005 to 2007.This trend increased to a peak about 4 billion in 2008.Based on different national situations,the reasons leading to this trend can be summarized into two points.First,the developed countries have a limited number of population,which decides that the demand for mobilephone service is also limited and will soon be saturated.Second,as for the developing countries,it has a large population and also a large demand for mobilephone service.And as the mobilephone becomes more available and more affordable,there is an increasing number of people buying their mobilephones.In my view,this trend that the number of mobilephone subscription continues to grow in developing countries will be constant for a while in the future.And this trend would also benefit most of the mobile users both in the developing countries and developed countries.

To: Mr. Smith, Managing Director
From: John Walker, Head of the Administrative Department

Proposal on improving company’s website service This report aims at summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of the current website, and recommending new services and information to be provided through the website.
Strengths
Our current website can streamline business processes to improve efficiencies of operations. According to information provided by current website, we can analyze past customer behavior to anticipate the needs of customers, which allows suppliers and customers controlled access to the date they require.
Over the Web now we are capable of offering products and services to the customers. We can present products more effectively,take orders and invoice on-line, which means improving business profit and offering a faster,more responsive service for customers. Through website we have built our reputation on high quality products and personal service.
Weaknesses
Because we need to offer 24-hour website service, we have to take on more expenses. In order to tackle the potential systems failures we also need to keep up-to-date with technical advances.
Currently many e-commerce customers lack faith in system security. It’s difficult for customers to trust e-commerce when they can’t see the practices behind the promises.
Recommendation
I would like to recommend a portfolio of on-line service,combining online files with data collected about people’s off-line purchase to improve target promotions,thus making our website popular and depart from its once-serious image. With new offerings, the content makeover should attract enough users and keep them there long enough for the company to increase advertising and e-commerce sales to larger revenue.

Practice 1Directions: You are asked to write in no less than 150 words about the title of Increase of Farmers’ Income. You should study the following chart carefully, then write a composition to:1. describe the changes of farmers’ income in the past three years;2. give at least two possible reasons for the changes.
正确答案：
【参考范文】
Increase of Farmers’ Income This chart shows the increase of farmers’ family income in the county from 2006 to 2008. The farmers’ family income in 2006 was 20000 yuan per family. It increased by 50% to 30000 yuan in the year of 2007, and jumped spectacularly to 45000 yuan, increasing by another 50% of the amount of 2007.
From the result it can be seen that the farmers’ family income has increased sharply in the last three years, and they are living a better life now. I think several reasons account for the increase. Firstly, with the rapid development of our country’s economy, our government has paid more and more attention to the development of agriculture. Measures have been taken to encourage agriculture production and to protect the farmers’ interests. Agricultural taxes and other charges have been reduced, more funds have been invested in the development of agricultural projects, and crop prices have been raised. Secondly, thanks to the popularity of science and technology, and better education, many farmers are now using agricultural machinery or even high-tech in farming. Since mechanization and high-tech can help accelerate the increase of the output of agricultural products, farmers can sell more products and make more money.
As the development of the economy goes further on, I think the farmers’ income will continue to increase in the future.

Subject: Choosing employees for staff exchange scheme
As requested, I am submitting this report so as to give recommendations on selecting members of staff as the first to participate in a scheme in which members of staff exchange places for six months with people from other companies in England.
As for the ideal candidate, he or she will be a qualified accountant with no less than 3 years’ hands-on experience. He/she is expected to be confident and possesses excellent interpersonal and communication skills in English language. It will be an asset if he/she has a good understanding of American environment and culture.
I believe that most of the junior managers at the financial department are qualified for this scheme, for they can meet the requirements and obviously have an edge over staff of other departments. Their responsibility is about the financial control of the businesses, which includes accounting matters, cash flow management and negotiation with suppliers. Moreover, they can offer commercial support to the local managers and are heavily engaged in operational level, while managing overseas
With this scheme, staff will be more exposed to a different environment, which is bound to broaden their horizon, improve their English and sharpen their skills. I am certain that staff will have an indepth knowledge of and exposure to managing overseas businesses. Surely it would turn out to be a most rewarding experience to them as well. Exposed to different culture, the selected members will be able to share their knowledge with those never been out of China.
Providing staff with a unique experience of working overseas will boost their morale and make them valuable assets for the company. Their knowledge can also be used to expand operation home and abroad. Therefore, it will end up benefiting the company greatly.

Writing Task II (20 points) Directions: Write a composition of no less than about 160 words, saying whether you agree or disagree with the following statement and giving examples: The biggest dangers to our health and environment come from cars. Remember to write your composition on the Answer Sheet.
正确答案：
There is an argument that the biggest dangers to our health and environment come from cars. Some people may agree with this, while others may disagree. In my opinion, I don’t think the situation is true.
Firs of all, car brings much convenience to our life. Nowadays, with the fast development of China’s economy and China’s entry into the WTO, each year, there is an increasing number of cars on the roads as millions of new cars are produced. Many Chinese people who live in big cities, to a large extent, rely on cars to go to work every day. Without cars those people will have a lot of trouble going to work.
Secondly, although cars have many drawbacks, there are always many solutions to those problems. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to produce green cars without pollution. Another way is to replace car engines with something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.
Thirdly, cars do post some dangers on our health and the environment, but they are not the biggest cause. Dangers come from many aspects, such as factories or hospitals producing many toxin gas or dumping poisonous water into river.
In sum, on the one hand, we should take measure to resolve the problems; on the other hand, we could also use the scientific and technical productions.
