2007年广东高考英语读写任务真题
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Dear Ari，
As you sleep in my arms， I’m amazed at how light you feel. I stare at your tiny body， so fragile that a sudden wind could lift you up into the air. I love this feeling of protecting you and dreaming of all I have in store for you.
I intend to bring you up to be brave and successful in an often difficult society. That’s why your mommy and I have named you Ari， which means "lion". It’s our hope that you will grow strong and eagerly grasp every opportunity to do well for yourself and others.
Before you came into the world， we had spent months imagining what you’d be like. Would you be a boy or a girl？ Would you look like Mommy， Daddy or your elder brothers？ Anyway， we would find out soon.
Finally your mother’s labor came. And several hours later， we met the first time. I held you high up in the air. I then was able to cut your umbilical cord （脐带） and put you in your mother’s arms. She still had enough energy to radiate the love while she pressed you to her face.
And here we are tonight. As I hold you close， you sleep so peacefully. I press my ear to your chest and hear your strength. I am listening to the first beats of a lion’s heart. Welcome to the world， Ari.
Love，
Daddy

2008年广东高考英语读写任务真题
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Hi， I am Mike. I just went through my first year of college. The toughest part on me at first was the general adjustment.1 went to a very small high school where my mom was a teacher and she did practically everything for me. But at the college I needed to know some basic life skills， such as balancing a check—book， laundry， and the things you have to be able to handle that I never thought of in the high school！ It was really tough for me at first and I got badly homesick.
Once that first semester was over and I got used to the college life， I loved it—good facilities， helpful instructors and a good library. The Students‘ Union organizes various parties every week. I also go to cinemas and concerts， and often spend Saturday nights in pubs and clubs.
One thing I think is important is to get yourself active in things. I was on the dance team in college and met a ton of people that way…it was so much easier to make friends when you had a common ground.
