Topic 1Innovative consciousness

()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of the innovative consciousness. Definitely,
no one can deny its importance. An innovative spirit can promote the advancement of both individuals and society
as a whole. Only those who are keeping on creating new things can make continuous progress and maintain
competitive edge. To further illustrate the importance of innovation, I would like to take Steve obs as a case in
point! how could he, a genius who change the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, invent
so many powerful electronic products without a creative spirit"
#rom my perspective, at no time should we overlook the power of the consciousness of innovation.
#urthermore, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things using new methods and applying new
thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life. $Innovation is the spirit of human being%s progress.& A
philosopher once said.
Topic 2persistence/ perseverance
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of persistence. Definitely, no one can deny
its importance. 'ersistence can help us carve out a way to success. Although the way to success is bumpy and
filled with inevitable setbacks, it is persistence that lead us to the destination we are eager to reach. ()To
further demonstrate the importance of being persistent, I would like to take Thomas (dison as a case in point! how
could he, one of the greatest inventor throughout the history of mankind who e)perienced numerous unsuccessful
attempts, invent the first electric lamp without persistence"
Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the importance of persistence. *hen coming across hardships and
setbacks, we need to grit our teeth and adhere to the faith that our efforts and persistence will be paid off. $+reat
works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.& Samuel ohnson once said.
Topic 3Dreams/ objectives
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of our dreams,ob-ectives. Definitely, no one
can deny its importance. Our dreams,goals,ideals,ob-ectives will prevent us from .uitting easily especially when
we are in great trouble. They will lead us to the destination we are eager to reach, bring out the best in us and
stimulate us to remain firm in our faith. ()To further illustrate the importance of dreams,ob-ectives, I would
like to take /elen 0eller as a case in point! how could she, a disabled woman who was born blind and deaf, finally
be a world1renowned writer who wrote If I Had Three Days to See without her dreams to overcome physical
limitations.
Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of dreams,ob-ectives. #urthermore, we must set up
proper goals before we start to do anything and stick to it whatever difficulties we meet. $One of the most
dangerous forms of human error is forgetting what one is trying to achieve.& 'aul 2it3e once said.
Topic 4cooperation
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of cooperation. Definitely, no one can deny its
importance. 4ooperation can help people achieve our ob-ectives more smoothly. If everyone in a group can
cooperate with each other actively and play each other%s strength sufficiently, those once1deemed1unachievable
tasks for one single person can be successfully accomplished through shared efforts. ()5uite a few e)amples
can be given to prove the importance of cooperation, and I can think of no better illustration than the following
one! after the financial crisis swept the whole world in 6778, how could the world economy
recover,restore,revive,revitali3e at such a rapid speed without cooperation among countries all around the world.
*e should always bear in mind that in such a competitive world of today, no individuals or organi3ations can
achieve success without cooperation. #urthermore, when coming across setbacks or challenges, we should not
dismiss ourselves as a powerless individual, instead, we should discover advantageous resources initiatively,
collaborate effectively with people around us, and thus overcome all the things that lie in the way to
success.$4oming together is a beginning. 0eeping together is a process. *orking together is a success.& /enry
#ord once said.
Topic 5diligence
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of diligence. Definitely, no one can deny its
importance. Diligence enables us to achieve our ob-ectives more smoothly and reali3e our dreams more rapidly.
The more diligent we are , the more likely we are to accumulate e)perience, master skills, discover and kill off our
shortcomings and create more opportunities. ()further illustrate the importance of being diligent, I would
like to take 9ichael ordan as a case in point! how could he, one of the greatest basketball players throughout the
history of mankind who was once deemed unsuitable for playing this game, achieve unprecedented success in
2:A"
Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of diligence. #urthermore, when coming with
setbacks and bottlenecks, instead of giving up easily, what we must do is to stick to our goals and faith, tell
ourselves that all efforts and diligence will be paid off. $good luck appears only when you are diligent enough.&
:arack Obama also once said.
Topic 6making plans
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of making plans. Definitely, no one can deny
its importance. 9aking plan will enable us to achieve our ob-ectives more smoothly and reali3e their dreams more
rapidly. The more detailed plan we make the more likely we are to make full use of time, enhance our work
efficiency make full preparation in advance for une)pected cases. ()To further demonstrate the importance
of making plans, I would like to take 4(O as a case in point, how could a 4(O, the head and decision1maker of a
corporation, deal with all sorts of complicated things smoothly if he fails to draw up a detailed plan for routine
work"
Accordingly, on no account should we overlook the power of plans. #urthermore, we should draw up detailed
plans before we start to do anything and do things as planned. $/e who fails to plan, plans to fail.& A famous
philosopher also once said.
Topic 7actions !"#$%
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of taking actions. Definitely, no one can deny
its importance. Actions will enable us to achieve our ob-ectives more smoothly and reali3e their dreams more
rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate e)perience, master skills and get close to
our destination. ()To further demonstrate the importance of A, I would like to take a famous 4hinese fable
story as a case in point/ow could the $foolish old man& who dreamed of removing the mountain in front of his
gate finally achieved his dream without taking constant actions "
Accordingly, on no account should we underestimate the power of taking actions. #urthermore, not only
should us posses a great dream, but we also should take actions to make it come true. $Actions speak louder than
words.& A philosopher also once said.
Topic ! adversit" &'
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of adversity. Definitely2o one can deny the
importance of adversity. Adversity is conducive to people%s growth and maturity. :y facing adversity with
confidence and a brave heart, people are more likely to recogni3e themselves profoundly, bring their potential into
full play and accumulate more e)periences. ()To further illustrate the significance of adversity, I would like
to take an empirical evidence as a case in point! surveys conducted by some biographers have demonstrated that
almost all of the great men and celebrities have built their mansion of success on the bedrock of adversity.
#rom my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of adversity. #urthermore, when coming
across adversity, we should not regard it as a obstacle to success; instead, we might as well envision it as a
precious chance to improve ourselves, fight against it courageously and ac.uire wisdom from it. $Adversity
breeds success.& An ancient +reek philosopher also once said.
Topic #! $nit"/solidarit" ()
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of unity. Definitely2o one can deny the
importance of unity. <nity,solidarity enables people to achieve their ob-ectives more smoothly and rapidly. :y
uniting, people are more likely to reduce unnecessary conflicts and frictions, take full advantage of each other%s
strength and thus eventually defeat those seemingly invincible hardships and challenges. ( )To further
demonstrate the importance of unity, I would like to take the 4hinese 4ommunist 'arty as a case in point! how
could she achieve the victory of the Anti1apanese *ar if she failed to unite 4hinese people of all ethnic groups "
#rom my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of unity. *hat%s more, we should foster
the consciousness of unity and always bear in mind that it is unity, instead of individual%s capability, that the
achievement of any course depends on. $<nited we stand, divided we fall.& The <.S. president ohn Adams also
once said.
Topic 10: Helping each other
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of helping each other. Definitely, no one can
deny its importance. /elping each other is conducive to the harmony of society. On the one hand, those who
obtain helps from others can get out of trouble more smoothly and thus sense the warmth of society. On the other
hand, those who offer a helping hand are more likely to improve their sense of gratification and achievement by
fulfilling their personal value. ()To further demonstrate the importance of mutual help, I would take *en
4huan as a case in point ! how could it , after being severely damaged by the earth.uake in 6778, rebuild its
homeland at such a high speed without the help from people at home and abroad "
At no time should we underestimate the power of a helping hand. Accordingly under no circumstances
should we decline to help others when they are in need. :esideswe should be grateful for those who provide us
with help when we are in trouble. Only in this way can we lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Topic 11 mutual trust
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of mutual1trust. Definitely, no one can deny
its importance. 9utual trust is conducive to the harmony of society. *ith trust among each other, people of
diverse disposition, e)perience, thinking mode and backgrounds can have a better understanding and
communication, and thus reduce unnecessary conflicts and frictions. () To further illustrate the significance
of mutual trust, I would like to take an empirical evidence as a case in point! surveys conducted by certain career1
related websites have shown that roughly =8> of white1collar workers are more inclined to work with colleagues
they trust. ?almost =8> of white1collar workers regard mutual trust as lubricant of effective collaboration. @
#rom my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of mutual trust. #urthermore, we should
trust people as much as possible and try our utmost to influence those who do not trust people easily, inform them
of the significance of it. Only in this way can live in a more harmonious world.
Topic 12 communication
()The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of communication. Definitely, no one can deny
its importance. 4ommunication will enable us to achieve our ob-ectives more rapidly. :y communicating
fre.uently and smoothly, we can have a better understanding among each others, reduce unnecessary conflicts and
frictions and thus eventually improve the efficiency of cooperation. ()To further illustrate the importance of
communication, I would like to take the Apple Incorporation as a case in point! how could it, with so many
departments, staffs from diverse countries and backgrounds inside, and branch offices allocated all around the
world, finally operate smoothly and achieve unprecedented market profits without an efficient communication.
#rom my perspective, at no time should we underestimate the power of communication. when
misunderstanding others, we should communicate with them initiatively and detect the truth underlying bias.
4ommunication is the lubricant of success,happiness.& /enry #ord, a world1renowned entrepreneur also once
said.

#rom the bar char given above, we can observe that the ownership of houses in 4hina e)perienced some
changes during the past several years. The proportion of state1owned houses decreased sharply by almost A7>
from B7> in C=A7% to 67> in C==7%. On the contrary, during the same period, the percentage of private houses
increased rapidly from D7> to 87>.
The bar chart reveals that there e)ists an opposite trend in the development of state1owned and private houses
ownership. *hat e)actly contribute to this phenomenon" Eeasons can be listed as follows! for one thing, the
authorities have issued some preferential policies to the development of private houses industry. Additionally, with
the improvement of financial status and purchasing power, citi3ens in mounting numbers can afford to buy private
houses which were deemed e)pensive. Fast but not least, people%s decision to buy a house can also be ascribed to
the power of so1called $group dynamics&! when members of our social networks own their private house one after
another, we unconsciously imitate them , of course, if we have enough money.
The continual growth of private houses is a symbol of the improvement of people%s living standard. /owever,
the authorities should also place a value on the restriction of houses% price. Otherwise, it will one day be a obstacle
of the rapid and sound development of economy.
#rom the curve chart given above, we can observe that the number meals of fast food and sitdown
restaurant e)perienced some changes during the past several years. The number of meals of fast food increased
slowly from 67 in C=B7 to nearly D7 in C=87. #rom C=87 to 6777, it ascended rapidly from D7 to appro)imately
=7. On the contrary, when observing the statistics of sitdown restaurant meals, we can find that it increased slowly
from 67 in C=B7 to roughly A7 in 6777.
The curve chart informs of the phenomenon that there e)ists some difference in the development of fast
food and sitdown restaurants. *hat e)actly contribute to this phenomenon" Eeasons can be listed as follows! for
one thing, with the pace of modern life .uickening, people barely have much time to waste in lining up for
restaurant meals, on the contrary, fast food meals can do help busy people save a great deal of time. Additionally,
the authorities have issued some preferential policies to protect and encourage the rapid e)tension of fast food
industry , thus the public can buy fast food at shops scattering around the city. On the contrary , people in
diminishing numbers are willing to eat at sitdown restaurant. They think that eating at restaurant is always time1
consuming and inconvenient. :esides, food at restaurant is comparatively e)pensive than fast food.
by observing the trend of the past, we may forecast that the number of fast food meals will continue to rise in
the years to come. /owever, we should also take the detrimental impact of fast food into consideration. Do
remember that fast food is one of the main causing factors of diseases such as heart attack, obesity and diabetes.
#rom the pie chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of investment in :ei-ing from
different countries and regions. The proportion of investment from /ong 0ong accounts for GG>, ranking first.
The percentage of investment from other 6D countries and regions ranks second among all, making up 67.8 >.
apan occupies C=.6>, ranking third. *hen it comes to the <.S.A., we can find that it takes up CH> , 68> lower
than that of /ong 0ong.
The pie chart reveals the phenomenon that most of the investment in :ei-ing stem from /ong 0ong. *hat
e)actly contribute to this phenomenon" Eeasons can be listed as follows! in the first place, 4hinaIs investment
policy provide preferential treatment to investors from /ong 0ong. They are more likely to be immune to high
ta)es and other charges. 9oreover, .uite a few /ong 0ong investors hold the opinion that, with the same
language, cultures, traditions and customs, mainland is an ideal and promising investment resort which will be
bound to generate considerable profits. Fast but not least, it will not take a long time to commute between /ong
0ong and 4hinese mainland, the region advantage also has attracted more /ong 0ong investors to locate their
companies and factories in the mainland.
The public can benefit a lot from /ong 0ong investment. 'eople can buy products with superior .uality at a
comparatively cheaper price. /owever, balancing the investment proportion from different countries is also a
issue needed to be put at the top of relevant administration departments% agenda. Thus, people can be e)posed to a
greater variety of products and have more purchasing options.
