My name is Jack. Know that the Students' Union is looking for volunteers， I am writing to make an apply.

I really want to get this opportunity because， by offering my service， not only I be able to improve my oral English and communication skills， but I can also make more friend. As the outgoing boy， I am warm-hearted and always ready to help with others. I once take part in an activity organized by the local community to offer help to some homeless people. Unluckily， I am fluent in English so I have no difficulty communicate with English speakers. In a word， I believe I am qualified for the position.

Hopeful you will take my application into consideration. Looking forward to your reply.

Task 2

You can not imagine what a dream I had last night. I dreamed that I took part in a race. At first， I could not to run very fast and fell behind. So I didn't lose heart and kept run. All the students on the playground cheer me on， “Come on！” I was very encouraged that I ran faster and faster till I caught up all the other runners. I felt as if I had been flying like a superman. In an end， I got to the finishing line first. I won the race. I felt very proudly of myself. Many of my classmate threw me up into the air. Just at that time， I woke up and found me still in bed！

Task 3

Senior Three student will face the question after they pass by the college entrance examination. “Should I choose a good major and a good university？” Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them take their favorite jobs in the future. However， those who think differently believes that the environment is important to one's development. They also believe that students graduate from leading universities are often more likely to find good jobs. In my opinion， a best choice is to choose a good major at a good university. But if they can't obtain both， the first thing to consider was a good major. Because no matter where they study， we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if they try their best.

Task 4

When I was a child， I was interesting in everything about the universe. One day I spot a picture of Armstrong， which was the first astronaut to set foot on the moon.

Besides， he advised me take exercise for 60 to 90 minute a day to keep fit. With the encouragement and support of my father， I was confidence that my dream would come true.

Task 5

It was Monday yesterday. My friend Li Hua went to school with his homework unfinishing. He played online games all through the weekend. It was too late when he founded he had homework to do. To avoid punished， he told his teacher that a dog eats his homework. Obviously， it was just an excuse he made to cover the fact which he hadn't done his homework. The teacher certainly knew about that and made them stay after school. Sometimes we think we can avoid trouble by making excuse when we do something wrongly. Therefore， we are really making problems worse instead of.
