1. 从2014年起，山东将在高考中取消英语听力测试。消息一出，争议声四起。请根据以下提示，写一篇120-150词的短文，并谈谈你自己的看法。
1、赞成者认为，此举将减轻考生负担、避免高考群体性事件 、照顾城乡差距。
2、反对者认为，这个决策将直接影响到我国中小学英语教学，或导致“聋子英语”“哑巴英语”严重回潮。
3、减负并不是取消，而是如何进行高考英语改革，比如，针对英语的特点，高考英语或一年考多次，实现更大公平，为学生提供更多出彩的机会。
参考词汇：高考改革 College Entrance Examination Reform 取消 cancel
缩小城乡差距reduce the city and countryside disparity 引起 trigger
It is reported that the listening test will have been canceled in the English College Entrance Examination of Shandong province since 2014. The news triggers a heated discussion among the people who are concerned about the most important examination. Some people hold that the burden of the students will be reduced without listening. Also, it tends to avoid such public affairs as happened among the examinees and help to reduce the city and countryside disparity. There are other people, however, who are against this decision on this reform. They argue that this policy may influence negatively the English teaching method of senior or junior middle schools and even primary schools all over the country, for it is most likely to result in rebirth of “Deaf English” or “Dumb English”.
In my opinion, college entrance examinationis supposed to examine all aspects of English learning including listening,speaking, reading and writing. It is hardly possible for an examination without listing to assess students’ overall language ability. As to reducing students’burden, what matters is how to reform the way to test students’ ability in College Entrance Examination instead of simply canceling the listening section. For example,a student can have several chances to do listening test for College Entrance Examination.

April 8 Monday Fine
Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream. Inspired by President Xi’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked enthusiastically about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.
I also talked about my own dream. I have always wanted to be a doctor. Not only can doctors save people’s lives but also they are doing a respectable job. Doctors can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.
To realize my dream, I must try to work hard from now on. I must learn as much as I can so that I can get into a good medical college, where I can prepare myself adequately(充分) for the job of a doctor. Only in this way can I accomplish my goal.
