书面表达:
Early in the morning, we gathered at the school gate at 6 and headed for the Sunshine Mountain. Our goal was to reach the top, so we could see the beautiful view.
  The hike was exhausting and the heat drained our energy. When we finally reached our destination, the whole view was breathtaking. It was well worth the extra effort because we not only got relaxed by enjoying the beauty of nature but also we learned how to smooth away difficulties, help each other as well as build our bodies. 
In the near future, we each will have our own mountain to climb. Let’s go forward and set a greater goal and aim at a higher top of the mountain in our life

W: This is Suzie Chu on Three Triple Campus Radio. I have the results of the entertainment survey we did last week with the students here at the university. 
We went into the student union last Thursday, the twenty-fifth of March and interviewed a total of 150 students. 70% of the students we talked to said that they liked going out with friends more than anything else. I had expected them to say doing sports or listening to music or something like that.
Next on the list … and I wasn’t surprised at all by this … was watching TV. Most students spent 15 hours a week doing that. Going to the cinema was pretty popular too and so was watching sports, but something that surprised me was that some students considered shopping to be entertainment.
