Sample answer：

I like all kinds of music but if I had to choose one type of music it would be rock. First, because rock music is full of energy and plays with strong beat. I am an energetic person. So thats why I love rock music. My favorite rock musician is Metallica. Their music is so cool that I just cant believe it. Also, rock music usually deals with the global concern like the world peace and food shortage etc.

No other kind of music can function as rock music does. For example, we are the world by Michael Jackson and various artists and Give peaces a chance by John Lennon. Finally ,just because I am crazy about rock music. So my email account is rockandrolljack@sina.com. I love it so much.

T---Topic: car

S---Supporting

ideas private car comfortable

CD player whatever

room to spread out

train uncomfortable (disadvantage)

Stops along the way (no way, train)

T---- Transition first, Also, because

Sample answer：

I prefer to drive my car. First, because my car is really comfortable. I enjoy my own personal space. When driving alone, I can listen to any radio program I like or put on my favorite CDs. Also, I have room to spread out which I cant do if I take a train. Like last time, I took a train. Because there stood a whole lot of people. I didnt even have space to stand. Thats terrible. Finally, if I drive, I can stop at any beautiful place I want to take a look at. There is no way you can do this if you take a train.

TST

T---Topic: train

S---Supporting

ideas company shortens journey

talk with anyone

cheaper

soaring price of gas

no traffic jam

safer

T---- Transition first, Also, because (two points)

Sample answer：

I prefer taking a train. First, because to be able to have a company will greatly shorten the distance. You know, it really takes some time to cover 145km. Also, it is much cheaper. You see, with the soaring price of oil , the price of gasoline has been nearly doubled. Traveling by train will save a lot of money. Nearly 70% of the expense you would pay if you drive your car. Finally, if I take a train, I dont have to worry about any traffic jam. I get tired of this which happens everyday in my life. I wanna get away from this.
