5.近来，越来越多的学生在校外租房而不愿住大寝室。请根据下面提示，一分为二地用英语写一篇短文，说说两者各自的好处与坏处，并表明自己的观点。

　　1. 学习时间； 2. 安全； 3. 自由性； 4. 与同学交往； 5. 学习效果。

　　注意：可从其他角度阐述，但两方面的理由都至少要有两条；词数100左右。

　　Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dorm. Instead, they rent houses outside the school. There are advantages for both. Living in a dorm can increase friendship and cooperation between classmates. And of course it is safer. A dorm is more like a society, wich enables students to learn to adapt to each other, thus preparing for the social life later. As for renting houses to live alone, it's better for study as you can feel free in your own room without being interrupted by others. As a result, you can have more time and devote yourself to studying whole-heartedly. But there may appear some safety problems as you live outside the school.

　　Anyhow, as a student, I prefer living in a dorm.

　　Ladies and gentlemen,

　　Welcome to our school. Now I would like to introduce our net-school.

　　Our net-school is very helpful in many ways. First, it makes both teaching and learning easier and more interesting. Students can get more knowledge in class. Whoever has a computer can have the lesson we give at home. Second, we can make good use of the Internet, sending e-mails, searching for any information we need, etc. Third, the net also helps improve our school management and meet the needs of modern education. Fourth, as a key school in our city, it sets a good example to the newly-built schools and may be of some help to them.

　　That's all. Thank you.

　　7.最近，你校试行在课间播放音乐，同学们对此私下议论，看法不一。请你根据表格中所提供的信息，给你的班主任Mr. Brown 写封信，客观地介绍大家的看法。

　　大多数同学赞同，部分同学反对。

　　注意：词数100-120左右

　　赞同者:                              反对者:

　　原因

　　播放音乐能活跃气氛。                课间时间太短，播放音乐达不到预期效果。

　　能使大脑得到放松，减轻学习的疲劳。  课间需要的是安静，而不是嘈杂的声音。

　　能给大家带来欢乐和美的享受。        有时上课后还沉浸在课间听的音乐中。

　　Most of us agree that music should be played. As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere. Besides, music provides us with relaxation after hard study, which reduces the tiredness. Listening to music also makes us feel happy.

　　On the other hand, some students have the opposite view. They don't think they can get the expected results by listening to music, as the break between classes is short. What's needed during the break is peace instead of the noise produced by the music. Besides, in class some students are still lost in the music they have just heard.

　　8.Respecting Our Parents

　　现在，很多学生迫于升学就业的压力，把自己的烦恼都宣泄在父母身上，对父母不是很尊敬，甚至和父母争吵动手。针对这种现象，写信给某报编辑，请提出一些具体的建议，让同学们树立尊敬长辈的意识，发扬中华民族的传统美德。

　　Dear editor,

　　Nowadays, there exists an increasingly severe phenomenon that teenagers don't show respect to their parents. As we can read in newspaper or watch in TV, some teenagers quarrel with parents, some talk back and some even resort to violence. As to this problem, I'd like to offer several  proposals as follows.

　　Initially(First), we should realize that it's our parents who give us lives. Without parents, we can not live in this world. Therefore, the importance of respecting our parents can not be too overemphasized. What's more, it goes without saying that we have to remember the birth day of our parents, when we can express our gratitude to them. None the less(Meanwhile), respecting our parents should be done from every detail. Just as a proverb goes, "Piety is above all." (百善孝为先)

　　To sum up, respecting parents is our traditional virtue in China. No matter how old we are, it's a priority to respect our parents.
