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 that’s why I love rock music. My favorite rock musician is Metallica. Their music is so cool that I just can’t 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.

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 CD’s. Also, I have room to spread out which I can’t do if I take a train. Like last time, I took a train. Because there stood a whole lot of people. I didn’t even have space to stand. That’s 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.

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 don’t have to worry about any traffic jam. I get tired of this which happens everyday in my life. I wanna get away from this.
