Composition 1
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Possible Version:
It’s quite amusing how some people mock their industrious friends, confidently proclaiming, “Relax, there’s plenty of time!” These procrastinators seem convinced that the future will graciously wait for them to act. But when the future inevitably arrives and they’re caught unprepared, will they still be so composed? Time, like a shadow, moves quietly, and by the time you notice it, the chance to catch up has long vanished.
The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. Consistent effort today lays a robust foundation that safeguards against future unpredictability. While it’s true that luck might occasionally favor those who rush at the eleventh hour, this fleeting success often gives a false sense of security. Relying on such chance outcomes is akin to constructing a house on quicksand—it may stand momentarily, but collapse is inevitable. In contrast, sustained effort is like a safety net, catching you when luck fails. The more you prepare, the less you leave to chance. Every small action adds up, paving the way for success that is earned, not borrowed from luck(或者替换成Each incremental step compounds over time, transforming small efforts into significant accomplishments. Ultimately, success is not the product of random fortune, but the culmination of intentional, consistent action）
So, why leave your future to chance? Act now, because time, unlike that last slice of pizza, won’t linger for you. Success is achieved piece by piece, and the future rewards those who approach it prepared, not panicked.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “What is worth doing is worth doing well.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200words.
Possible Version:
Have you ever noticed how young people enthusiastically nod when elders impart wisdom? They have been told countless to balance work with rest, plan ahead and… Yet, ironically, many still find themselves doom-scrolling through social media at 2 a.m., missing deadlines, and wondering why life… It’s like having a map but choosing not to follow it——you will still end up lost.
The timeless aphorism “what is worth doing is worth doing well” couldn’t be more relevant. We all know that diligence can compensate for a lack of natural talent, but you can’t expect to bake a cake by simply staring at the oven——offer is the secret ingredient. Success don’t materialize just because we believe the should; they are the result of…(努力) But let’s be clear: it’s not just about working hard; it’s about working smart; with focus and precision. After all, as the saying goes, second place is just the first loser. It something is truly worth doing, it deserves the best.
So, the next time you receive wise advice, don’t just nod absentmindedly——unless your life goal is to expert in unfinished projects. Knowing what to do is the easy part while the real challenge lies in doing it, and doing it well.
Composition 3
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the saying “Beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Possible Version:
The phrase “Beauty of soul is the essential beauty” is so old and overused that it could practically put you to sleep. However, if asked to define the beauty of the soul most people would likely fumble for words. Despite this, we all instinctively understand: If beauty fades with t me how can it be considered true beauty.
We don't have the luxury of the fabulously wealthy who can preserve their looks with the latest treatments and technologies. No matter how perfect your makeup is it can't hide a cold heart or selfish spirit. Think of the beauty of the soul as a sturdy tree with deep roots that stands firm through all seasons. Your kindness, empathy and integrity are roots that provide stability and strength. Reflect on those who have lifted you up during the lowest moments----was it their flawless skin or their genuine warmth and unwavering support that made them unforgettable.
But let's be honest, if you are a complete slob, the most beautiful soul might struggle to shine through. After all a little effort on the outside can make the inside glow even brighter.
