Sample 1
Writer: Anne Frank, 15 years old, a student in Holland
July 15, 1944
It’s impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty shall end and that peace will return once more.

Writer: Li Gang, 19 years old, a student at a vocational school in Shanghai
11/2/05 I went to see my aunt this afternoon. It was a very pleasant visit. We talked for some time about how to find a good job. I told her about my sister, who is looking for her first job now. She has already had one interview, but she failed in it because of her bad English. She couldn’t speak English well enough to express herself clearly. So the manager wasn’t satisfied with her.
If I had such an interview, what would happen? I don’t know, but I think I would also fail. It makes me unhappy. It’s very important for me to improve my English by studying hard.
