Having been born into a family does not mean everyone in your family will treat you as family. Sometimes, some people in your family may treat you as an enemy. There are some reasons for this. One reason would be jealousy, like a brother or sister being jealous of the other’s achievements or attention one sibling is getting more than the other from their parents. Another reason would be spite, due to some family members feeling the need to hurt someone they want to see in a humble or inferior position in life. Next1. StarterTapescript8上海交通大学出版社上海交通大学出版社 focus1starterBack Some family members may be controlling and resent the person they are trying to control for resisting their influence over him/her. Sometimes, people just hate for no reason. Whatever the cause, no one should suffer abuse for any reason, just because it comes from someone in one’s family. A family member is someone who has your best interest at heart, someone who will put your needs before his/her own, someone who loves you unconditionally, someone who accepts you with your strengths and your faults and someone who will support you, even if he/she don’t support your decisions.

Research project 101上海交通大学出版社上海交通大学出版社 Focus2 research projectReference research result: In the case of San Diego, removing the freeway and stopping building highways seem to be a practical way to solve transportation problems. Freeways and highways intrigue people’s false expectation of easier access to and from the city center. Therefore the number of people owning private cars increases, which makes the road conditions worse and worse. If the freeways were removed and highways no longer be built, fewer people would plan to buy cars. The awareness of severe road conditions will help ultimately eradicate the transportation problem. Hopefully, Shanghai’s transportation problem could be solved if the measures San Diego is currently implementing were adopted to address the concern in question. 5.

As a bus pulled into the station, people fought their way to the door. As they were thronging onto the bus, a pregnant woman was pushed down to the ground nearby the front door of the bus. She was bleeding all over. Someone called the ambulance which rushed the woman to hospital. People didn’t line up, but rather, elbowed their way to get onto the bus, and this constitutes the cause of the accident. The indirect cause lies in the pressure placed by the modern society on people who are always in a hurry. The narrator was shocked at the sight of the woman lying down on the ground bleeding. The narrator wishes that people would have the peace of mind to prevent any traffic accident.105上海交通大学出版社上海交通大学出版社 Focus2 L&W 6. Listening-based writing Tapescript A Traffic Accident Last Friday morning I was standing at the bus stop waiting for Bus No. 375. Because several lines passed by the station and it was rush hour, many people had gathered there before next bus came, some standing off the pavement, others sitting on the bench. A bus pulled into the station at last. Before I recognized the number of the packed bus, people already pushed and elbowed their way to the door. Suddenly I heard somebody shout “Help! Help!” Most of the people stopped moving and looked toward where the voice came from. To our dismay, a pregnant woman was lying on her back on the road by the front door of the bus, her eyes wide open, and bleeding all over. I was too shocked to run to her rescue. Soon an ambulance came and took the woman to hospital. Buses came and went, but I just stood there, lost in thought.BackNext106上海交通大学出版社上海交通大学出版社 Focus2 L&W 6. Listening-based writing Probably because time and tide wait for no man, people in modern society are usually in a hurry, lest they should be left behind and even dismissed. There can never be peace of mind. Consequently, the number of traffic accidents is increasing all the time. If people were put under less pressure from their work and if most people were aware of the importance of traffic rules, many traffic tragedies would never occur or repeat themselves.
