My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What’s more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.

一个好的主题句是文章成功的一半。不仅文章有主题，段落有纲，句也必有中心。文章失却主题，就会不知所云;落无纲，则一盘散沙，句缺中心，就无意义。所以，在立足于篇章时，一定要首先明确文的主题;在发展段落时，也要首先写好主题句。从PETS三的特点来考虑，主题句最好是置于文首或段首，这样让人一目了然! 以下就是两个实用的开门见山式发展主题句的方法。

●As is well known to all, it is now high time that we took this (topic word into serious consideration.

One possible version：
The summer holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favor of staying at home. They think it’s both convenient and comfortable. What’s more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world.
However, others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while traveling.
In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home, for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.
