Pearl Harbor in Hawaii is one of the major military bases of the United States. A surprise attack was carried out there by the Japanese in 1941, which led to the US coming into the Second World War.

On 26th November 1941, 39 Japanese ships set sail for the Hawaiian Islands. On 7th December, they attacked the US airfields and the US ships in Pearl Harbor.

At around 8,10am, the United States Ship (USS) Arizona was heavily bombed and eventually exploded. In less than 9 minutes, the ship sank with 1177 men on board. Many other American ships were sunk or badly damaged. Almost 200 American airplanes were destroyed and about 3000 American soldiers were killed or wounded in just a few hours.

The next day, US President Franklin Roosevelt declared war against Japan. 例二 要点：

1. 广岛是日本的一个现代化城市，拥有大量汽车，摩天大楼和众多商店。

2. 然而，这座城市过去并不总是这么现代化，它曾极度受损。1945年8月6日，在二战快结束时，美军航空军在广岛投下了第一枚原子弹。这颗炸弹给日本人民造成了巨大的痛苦，它摧毁了广岛近70%的建筑以及其他许多东西。

3. 在炸弹投下时吗，广岛大约有35万居民。其中大约6万多人被炸死， 更多的人则无家可归。许多幸存者都遭受到放射性元素的辐射，以至于后来都死于癌症或者一些因炸弹引起的疾病。即使今天，炸弹的影响依旧存在。

Hiroshima is a modern Japanese city, with lots of cars, tall buildings and plenty of shops.

However, this city was not always so modern and suffered extremely in the past. On 6th August 1945, near the end of World War II, the US Army Air Corps dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The bomb caused great hardship for the Japanese people destroying nearly 70 per cent of Hiroshima's buildings and damaging many others.

At the time of the bomb, there were about 350 000 people living in Hiorshima. More than 60 000 of them were killed by the bomb, and many more were made homeless. Many of those who survived were exposed to radiation, and later died of cancer or other diseases caused by the bomb. Even today, the effects of the bomb still exist.

World Languages

例一 要点：

1. 世界上有几千种语言。说不同语言的人彼此之间不能相互理解。如果世界上每个人都说同一种语言的话 ， 世界将会完全不同。

2. 首先，如果每一个人都讲同一种语言，不同国家之间的互相交流理解就会非常容易。我们在国际会议上就不会需要翻译了，这样很大一笔开支就会被节省下来。

3. 其次，如果每个人都讲同一种语言，人们相互之间就可以和谐共处。说不同语言的人们常常有不同的宗教信仰，这就经常引起误解甚至战争。

4. 第三，每个人都讲同一种语言将会促进国与国之间的经济文化交流。目前，语言的不同使得跨文化的交流和国际贸易困难重重。因此，如果每个人都讲同一种语言，国家间的交流和贸易就会更容易实现。

languages do not understand each other. If everyone in the world spoke the same language, the world would be quite different.

First, if everyone spoke the same language, it would be very easy for different nations to communicate and understand each other. We would need no translation or interpretation at international conferences, so a lot of money would be saved.

Second, if everyone spoke the same language, people would live in harmony with each other. People who speak different languages often believe in different religions and this often causes misunderstandings and even wars.

Third, everybody speaking the same language would improve cultural and economic exchanges between nations. Presently, the difference in language makes cross-cultural communication and international trade difficult. So if everyone spoke the same language, communication and trade between nations could be done more easily. 例二 要点：

1 有史以来，各种人造语言已被发明。在这些语言中世界语是讲得最广泛的一种语言。

2 世界语是由一位名叫霍夫的波兰医生于1880年发明的。它以拉丁字母和其他欧洲语言为基础。柴门霍夫医生认为，如果世界上每个人都讲同一种语言的话，世界上就会少很多问题。

3 世界语 是一种很规则的语言。所有的字母用同一种拼写和发音方式。所有的字母都以―o\结尾，所有的形式词都以\结尾，而所有的动词都以―i\结尾。所以在世界语中，‖varmo\的意思是温暖或热，―varma\的意思是温暖的或热的，而‖varmi\的意思就是使。。。。温暖或使。。。热。 4 世界语并不是要取代任何一种自然语言，它只是作为一种国际性辅助语言而出现的。然而，现在英语正被广泛的使用，以至于被许多人看作为国际语言。 Throughout history, different man-made languages have been invented. Of these, Esperanto is the most widely spoken.

Esperanto was invented by a Polish doctor named Zamenh of in1880.It is based on the characteristics of Latin and other European languages. Dr Zamenh though that if everyone spoke the same language, there would be fewer problems in the world.

Esperanto is a very regular language. All the worlds are spelt the same way they are pronounced. All nouns end in the latter \in \Esperanto, \means warmth or heat, \means warms or hot and \
