Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Is Thrift Still a Good Virtue? You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:

　　1)随着人们生活水平的提高，一些人认为节俭和朴素的生活方式已经过时了

　　2)但是很多人反对这种说法

　　3)你的看法是…，为什么?

　　Is Thrift Still a Good Virtue?

　　思路解析：

　　本题属于提纲式文字。提纲第1点提出一种观点，提纲第2点提出另外一种相反的观点，提纲第3点要求谈谈“我”的观点，由此可判断本文应为对比选择型作文。

　　根据所给提纲，本文应包含如下内容：提出第1种观点：节俭和朴素的生活方式已经过时了，并说明理由;提出第2种观点：节俭和朴素仍然是一种美德，并说明理由;表明“我”对节俭的看法，并说明理由。

　　参考范文：

　　With the improvement of the living standards, many people are [1]no longer interested in the simple life style [2]and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty. What they pursue is the latest fashion. In their eyes, thrift is already out of style.

　　[3]However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue. They say that the unprecedented power of production doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited [2]and some of them even are [4]on the decline. [5]Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.

　　[6]As to me, I prefer the latter opinion. I believe [7] “Waste not, want not.” The truth of this saying is [8]not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency. [5]In fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving. [5]Besides, there are still millions of Chinese [9]living under poverty line. We can never afford reckless waste. [5]Therefore, [10]it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.

　　点评：

　　[1]“不再”。

　　[2]表示递进。

　　[3]引出另外一种观点。

　　[4]“在下降”。

　　[5]过渡衔接词语，使文章条理清晰、衔接紧密。

　　[6]用于引出自己的观点或选择。

　　[7]引用谚语“俭以防匮”。

　　[8]not... but连接并列结构，意为“不是…而是”。

　　[9]现在分词短语作后置定语。

　　[10]“毫无疑问”。

　　好词佳句：

　　1.Our natural resources are limited and some of them even are on the decline.

　　2.The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency.
