第四部分 写作
第一节:
Good morning everyone! May I have your attention please?
Last week, I conducted a survey on the difficulty degree of memorizing vocabulary. The result reveals some striking statistics. As you can see, about 45% of students consider it is difficult to memorize word formation. Chunks dominates the result, with an astonishing 70% of students opting for it, while single words are the least favored, chosen by only 15% of the participants.
The data offers precious insights. In conclusion, it is essential that we should enhance our vocabulary study and strengthen the resolve to overcome the barriers. I suggest everyone work out specific plans and keep practicing.
第二节:
Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard. Feeling puzzled, Tommy immediately found the judge and pointed out this mistake politely. However, the second-place finisher insisted he was the winner. No one could tell exactly what had happened. Tommy was at a loss what to do, feeling frustrated. Then it suddenly occurred to me that I had recorded the whole process. Rushing to the judge, I showed him the video, which clarified the fact that it was Tommy who first arrived
The judge admitted the error and announced Tommy was the real champion. After learning the truth, the audience broke into thunderous applause. Tommy shouldered his way through the crowd, gathering me in his arms with a proud smile on his face. We both knew this was not just a victory of a race, but also a victory of sticking to the truth and daring to fight for it in the face of injustice.
