Revolution
I am not familiar with this topic at all, and I don’t have any interesting in it, however, no matter I love it or not, the composition of CET-4 will come out in its own way. I’m not the teacher who designs the test paper, all the thing I could do is exert myself to adjust to it. After the English classes this afternoon, I suddenly realize one thing that during the examination, when finish my compositions, the only thing I should do it do my best to show my fluent beautiful English instead of my creative mind. Even though the thought is out-of-date that won’t have any problem. The composition of CET-4 is not a stage for me to show time my idea. I should completely understand this important point. I’m just a plain Jane with new idea, but a super star with wonderful sentence. There are a great difference between writing English and speaking English, and now I should tell them apart. Composition in CET-4 is a platform to show excellence words, so my hard workings in vocabulary are meaningful now.
I have hate imitate essay since I were a pupil. In my opinion, imitate other’s articles just like thieve their fortune. Still remember when I was a little child, my parents always asked me to "imitate" others’ good words or wonderful sentences (of course, just in Chinese not in English, for they don’t know English at all). I did my best to revolt against those kinds of behavior. I even seared that I wouldn’t do that thing all my life. Nevertheless, I have to eat my words now. If I want to write a wonderful essay composition in the CET-4 that’s not far away, I should do more imitating. I should improve my ugly writing English in this way. From now on, composition is not only a way to release my feeling, but also a sword to win more awards in the furious battle. I don’t mean to do such thing, but I’m very sorry, I have to. Please forgive me.
From this line, I have to do some revolution, and today I will imitate the first paragraph of The Telecommunications Revolution (New Horizon College English 4, Unit 4, Section A) with the main idea of subway in Guangzhou:
A transformation is occurring that should greatly boost living standards in Guangzhou nowadays. Distance that until recently was a great problem are rapidly acquiring up-to-date subway that will convenient both Guangzhou and the areas around it. It may take a long time for many old cities such as Beijing or London to improve the utilities in transport. But the dragons which under the ground can help Guangzhou to lick such stick traffic issue. By constructing the subway, the whole pressure of traffic can be easily get rid of. In this way you can be in time at your date without worrying the traffic jam or long distance. A spider’s web of subway is already saving your time and pushing Guangzhou to become one of the most modern big cities.
Original:
A transformation is occurring that should greatly boost living standards in the developing world. Places that until recently were deaf and dumb are rapidly acquiring up-to-date telecommunications that will let them promote both internal and foreign investment. It may take a decade for many countries in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe to improve transportation, power supplies, and other utilities. But a single optical fiber with diameter of less than half a millimeter can carry more information than a large cable made of copper wires. By installing optical fiber, digital switches, and the latest wireless transmission systems, a parade of urban centers and industrial zones from Beijing to Budapest are stepping directly into the Information Age. A spider’s web of digital and wireless communication link is already reaching most of Asia and parts of Eastern Europe.
I think you can easily pick out the sentence from the original and mine. That’s the difference of professor and everyman. Maybe it’s time for me to consult some problem from my teacher.
Revolution must be continuous!!!!!!!!!
