4/ Write the story of a big mistake you made.
No one that hasn’t got any mistakes in his life And it is very shy for everyone to tell about his mistakes But I think it is more important that he can have a right awareness of his mistakes and never has these ones again Do you agree with me?
For me, I myself have a big mistake too Today when we focus on talking about the mistakes, I would like to tell you about that big mistake I made
I still remember that day which was a heavily rained day After finishing classes at my school, I didn’t go home but stayed at my school for some work for the teaching festival which I myself took part in the next day When I finished, It was 10:30 p.m Because my house was very far from my school, I was so hurried Therefore I drove to my house with a very high speed It continuously rained This made me feel very uncomfortable and difficult to view the long distance in front of me while driving When I drove through a quiet field road, I got a higher speed Suddenly, I hit a man who was riding a bike in the other direction He fell down At that time I was so frightened and embarrass I didn’t know what I had to Furthermore I feared that the police would arrest me, punish me and keep my motorbike And I had to spend a lot of money on looking after him Especially, It could affect to my teaching festival I let him alone there as if there were nothing happening I came home and went to bed but I couldn’t sleep and always thought about my action until the next morning I got up very early and felt so regretful Before coming to the Teaching Festival, I had decided coming to the place where I caused the accident in order to get some information about him, his house, his family to meet him for the truth and to say “terribly sorry to him” Fortunately, he fainted and had some scratches in his hands and face only He had no problem Although he forgave me, I was too shy and regretful And I myself promise that I’ll not make that mistake in my life again

According to the statistics in the graph of participation in Higher Education rated by Sex and Home Location in 1989, we can easily recognize that sex and areas in higher education in Australia in 1989 was unequal The rate of female students was higher than the rate of male students In urban area, there were 43% of female ones and 40 % of male ones In rural area, there were 32% female ones and 26%.male ones In remote area, female ones were 27% and male ones were 21% And students coming from urban area were more than students coming from the rural area and remote area The remote area was the least
And we also easily see that this inequality with the statistics in the chart of Students in Higher Education in 1989 In urban area, the total number of students were 320 561 And female students were 52.3% In rural area, there were 77 925 students with 54.85% of female ones And remote area, there were only 13 959 students participating The rate of female ones was 54.8% The total of students in higher education in Australia in 1989 were 412 445 students The rate of female students was 52.3% This rate was higher than the rate of male students

6/ Imagine you are a car designer You have to design a car of the future which is environment clean, convenient and comfortable for both its driver and other travel mates.
Write a proposal with some suggestions for improvements or new features and explain why you are suggesting these improvements/ the purpose of the improvements.
You may use some ideas from the article below:
Nowadays using cars for transportations is increasingly Especially, this is one of causes which has made our environment polluted very much And energy is also used more and more while we have tried our best to save natural resources In order to decrease air pollution and to save energy, today, I would like to introduce a car of the future designed by me which is environmentally clean, convenient and comfortable for both its driver and others mates
It is a car which will not cause air pollution like the cars we used at the present because it is the car which can drive by electricity or solar energy It has a machine with three wheels instead of four And It will be able to drive itself along “intelligent” roads, equipped with built-in power suppliers It will be able to pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built in road, or store it in small quantities for traveling in the city
Instead of today’s seating arrangements - two in front, two or three or behind, all facing forward - the 2010 car designed by me will have a versatile interior with adult and children in a family circle It will not need drivers because computer will provide safe driving control and route finding The driver will have to is say where to where to go and the computer will the rest It will become impossible for car to crash into one another because computers will control all It can bring safety for us Therefore, it can help drivers and users feel very comfortable while driving
(3)An ancient building in your city is being pulled down for the construction of supermarket in the site Write a speech to express your view (either for or against) on the matter.
Ancient building in our city is being pulled down for the construction of supermarket in the site Therefore, there are many different opinions on it According to me, I oppose this construction Now I would like to tell my views on this matter
Firstly, this is an ancient building which is still used Therefore, I think It should be used for a museum or another purpose It shouldn’t be pulled out If pulling out it, it is very wasteful
Secondly, This is a building which can tell us about the history of development of our city because it is one of ancient buildings built in our city since establishing and building the city Therefore, I think It can be also used for a tourist place like many ancient ones in others cities And I think It will be an interesting place for tourists to visit when coming to our city It can help the tourists coming from in our country and in the world study about its architecture and understand about the history of building of our city Therefore, I think It mustn’t be pulled out
Finally, I think this site used for building supermarket is not suitable because here is an ancient town in our city If We build an modern construction, It will be able to break down all the atmosphere and the space here Moreover, the square in this site is small Therefore, I think It is not suitable for us to build a big and modern supermarket This supermarket should be built in another site or area which has a bigger square and is more suitable in our city
Indeed, This is an ancient building which I think it is very necessary for us to restore and reserve I think It shouldn’t be pulled out Our city is large Therefore, I think we can find another position is suitable for construction of supermarket
