預測範文
The ancient culture of China is one of the great treasures of human civilization. In the photo above, a foreign lady is pleasantly appreciating a traditional Chinese handcraft in a museum. At the same time,it seems that the little handiwork is smiling as well.
In my opinion, the traditional Chinese culture is not only certain to survive, but, in fact, is destined to thrive and prosper. One factor that has already begun to contribute to the preservation of Chinese traditional culture is its commercialization. Another reason that the future of China‘s ancient culture can be considered "safe" is the active efforts to protect it on the part of the Chinese government. Finally,the culture of China is buttressed and supported by widespread and growing international interest in China and its traditions.
For China, as for any other rapidly developing country, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If tai chi chuan, kung-fu or Peking opera ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Fortunately, as a result of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interests overseas, the future of China’s traditional culture looks brighter and more secure than ever before.

中國古老的文化是人類文明的偉大財富之一。在上述照片中，一位外國女士正在一座博物館中愉快地欣賞一件中國傳統工藝品。與此同時，似乎這件工藝品也正在微笑。
在我看來，中國傳統文化不但肯定能夠存活，而且必將繁榮興盛。首先，已經開始對中國傳統文化的保存做出貢獻的一個因素是其自身的商業化。其次，中國古老文化可被視爲“安全”的另一個原因是中國政府做出的保護文化的積極努力。最後，中國文化得到越來越廣泛的對中國及其傳統感興趣的國際上的扶持和支撐。
中國跟世界上其他快速發展的國家一樣，年久的習俗和傳統面臨着消失在現代化陰影裏的危險。如果太極拳、中國功夫或京劇永遠從地球上消失，那將是不可估量的悲劇。幸運的是，由於成功的商業努力、政府堅定不移的支持和不斷增長的海外興趣，，中國傳統文化的將來會比過去任何時候更明朗、更安全。

道長點評
提出中國傳統文化必將繁榮興盛，並使用三點原因進行詳細論證：1、中國文化自身的商業化發展;2、中國政府的積極努力;3、對中國文化感興趣的國際支持。末段概括全文，堅定信心。
佳句拓展
Over the course of thousands of years, the Chinese people have created their own unique customs and traditions, and passed them on from one generation to the next.在幾千年的歷程中，中國人民創造了他們獨特的習俗和傳統，並把它們一代代傳給後人。
In recent decades, however, some people have become increasingly concerned that China‘s cultural heritage could become marginalized or even disappear entirely. 然而最近幾十年來，一些人已越來越擔心中國的文化遺產可能會邊緣化或者完全消失。
Whether through kung fu schools in New York, the United States or Chinese calligraphy exhibits at the Museum in Paris, France, many people around the world now have the chance to learn about China’s 5,000-year-old culture, ensuring that its reach and influence extend well beyond China’s own boarders.無論是通過美國紐約的武術學校，還是法國巴黎博物館的書法展，現在世界上很多人都有機會了解中國五千年的文化。

As is shown in the picture above, raising up his head, a young boy is holding a glorious sun with his firm hand. The caption indicates that “With dreams, our heart can fly high; with flight, our dreams will not be far away”.
Some people think that dream is good for success while others argue that it is not so good because it may get people unrealistic. Obviously, dream is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic. First and foremost, there is power in dream. The dream can lead people to the path they want to go on and it gives us passion. The dream can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls. Furthermore, we are born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle. It is this childlike wonder and dream that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, no matter how old they are. Lastly, people with dreams also love what they do, regardless of money or power or title.
In short, God gives each bird its food, but he does not throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, just cherish your precious dreams and let your dream be realized.
參考譯文
如圖所示，一個小男孩擡起頭，正在用堅定的手託舉着一顆輝煌的太陽。文字說明顯示：“有了夢想，我們的心有了飛翔。有了飛翔，我們的夢想不再遙遠”。
有些人認爲夢想對成功有好處，而其他人認爲由於夢想可能使人們不太現實，因此夢想沒什麼好處。顯而易見，只有在夢想鼓舞人心並非常現實的情況下，夢想纔對我們的生活是必須的。首先，夢想擁有力量。夢想可以引領人們走上他們想選擇的道路，並且給予我們激情。夢想可以是對生活的熱愛，使我們的眼中熠熠閃光，使我們的步伐輕快，撫慰我們靈魂的創傷。其次，我們生來就擁有天真熱情的.驚喜之情，任何人只要曾經見過嬰兒對於鑰匙叮噹聲或甲蟲爬行的快樂，都會深有體會。正是這種孩子似的驚喜和夢想，才賦予熱情的人們一種青春的氣息，無論他們歲數多大。最後，擁有夢想的人們不顧金錢、權利或職位，也熱愛他們的所作所爲。
總之，世界上有許許多多的機會，但我們必須自己去把握。無論你想做什麼，珍惜你可貴的夢想並讓夢想實現。

經典句型
Some people are committed to their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals.有些人終於他們的夢想並努力工作來實現目標。
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses so that we can find pleasure in the fragrance of backyard, the crayon picture of a child, and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. 我們需要全心全意地享受每時每刻，因此我們可以享受後院的芳香、小孩的蠟筆畫以及彩虹迷人的魅力。
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a part-time vocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons and the executive who handcrafts furniture.如果我們不能把我們熱愛的事物變成全職，我們可以業餘時間來做，正如喜歡繪畫的國家領導人，跑馬拉松的修女和手工製作傢俱的管理者。
