Should free music downloads be ban?
With the development of technology,more and more people are making use of the Internet and they are enjoying downloading all types of materials. Some are specially fond of downloading free music, they argue that free music downloads not only enrich our life but also are good for the music industry,because they help increase the popularity of music.
However, from my point of view, it is not advisable to allow free music downloads. For one thing, they violate the intellectual property's right of musicians. For another, they have a negetive impact on the sales of musical products, such as CDs,which may do harm to the whole music industry. Without good returns ,who would like to invest in the music industry. In order that music industry can develope healthly, we'd better bad free music downloads. Let's all start to do so, with ourselves.
On TV shows
Nowadays TV shows are very popular. TV programs like super girls and dreams in China have attracted thousands of people to participate and many more wait to watch them when they are on show.
Why are so many people interested such programs? Applicants say that these programs provide excellent opportunities for young people to express themselves and to show their speciality. They help them prove their self-confidence and can add to their courage to face all kinds of challenges. However, some people criticize these programs arguing that they are not only a waste of energy, money and time but also a revelation of sociality.
In my opinion, we need not to be too critical about such TV programs. If they can bring happiness to those who participated in them as well as to the audience, they are justifiably entitled to prosper.
On Students Dealing In Stocks
When many people make a fortune in the stock market, a great number of university students follow their steps and get involved in dealing in stocks,too. They deal in stocks in their free time,trying to earn some money and gain some experience in managing properities.
Most people accept this understandingly. They say dealing in stocks provides students an opportunity to combine what they've learned in school with practice.
1
However, there're also people who take a negative view on this. They argue that dealing in stocks will not only take much of the students' energy and time ,but it will also make huge economic risks.When huge losts accur, they may lead to disastrous results.
As for me, I think university students must be discouraged to deal in stocks since campus life is not yet ready for the turbulent stock market.
Should English Classes Be Compulsory For Students?
Most universities in China have made English a compulsory course which has aroused many complaints among students. Many students wish that English could be removed from the list of compulsory courses.
However, I think it is of great significance for all university students to study English. To begin with, as an international language,English is widely used. Today, university students must master the language if they are to communicate with foreigners and to participate in the fierce international competition in the future.In addition, studying English as a foreign language does not only provides students with the useful tool for communication but also open the door to cultures different from our own. As is universally acknowledged, mutual understanding among different cultures is vital for keeping the world safe and peaceful.
Therefore, I strongly recommend that all students should take advantage of the compulsory course, and try to study English well.
Fast Food
Fast food has been increasingly popular in our life. For one thing, more fast food resturants both Chinsese and western stytle appear in the street. For another, more customers welcome fast food. Several years ago, only the young went to Mcldonald's. But now people of all ages rush to fast food resturants.
The popularity of fast food apparently reatlates to the fast pace of modern life. Office workers have to turn to fast food because of their short lunch time. Some families, with both hansband and wife working full time, cannot afford the time to cook. So they choose it, too.
However, evidence shows that fast food lacks nutrition. And if we eat only fast food it is surely bad for health. Therefore, I think, for convenience's sake,we need fast food. But if we want to keep good health, we should try our best to cook for ourselves.

On Students Quiting School
Many college students have quit school in recent years. They do it for different reasons. Some students quit school because of their poor health. A serious diease or a traffic accident may have made it impossible for them to continue their schooling. Other students may be forced to do it because their family couldn't afford the tuition.
job offer and leave school. Others may find that they cannot afford to lose the the good opportunity to start their own business. So they quit school to start their career just like Bill Gates.
Whatever the reason, I think college students should think twice before deciding to quit school. After all, graduates are normally better prepared for their future than those who quit school. College education pays off in the long run.
Should Students Follow Fashions?
Young university students are sentitive to fashions. Some are keen on following fashions. They use mobile phones of the latest style. They wear stylished clothes. They enjoy popular music.
Some people are not happy with this phenomenon. They argue the univeresity students should focus on their studies rather than on fashions. They say fashions cost so much that university students cannot afford them. Some students follow fashions crazily for fear of losing face. Fahions have caused much trouble on campus.
However, others may hold different opinions. They say fashions can drive students to work harder for a better life and broden their horizons, which is essential for their futue development.
I understand those students who follow fashions. But they must be responsible and not go to extremes. If their family is poor, there is no need for them to have such luxurious hobbies.
A letter to the university president Dear Mr.president,
I'm a sophomore major in law. I'm writing to make suggestions on improving the education equality of our university. First, I think there is still much room for an improvement concerning our classroom education. Some teachers just recite textbooks, and their course are boring. It's not very helpful for us. We need more interaction and communication in the classes and we welcome
3
lively and piratical courses. Second, we students need help to develop our initiative in our studying.
I hope our university can invite some famous people to deliver lectures to us on how to study . Finally, in order to get all students involved in our studies, I suggest some contests behalf of university. For example, the department of law can have a legal knowledge contests
Thank you for reading my letter. I hope my suggestions will be seriously looked to.
Your sincerely,
Limei
Grades and Ability
Do high grades imply excellent ability? Opinions vary from person to person.
Some agree that high grades reflect high intelligence and are thus indicative of one’s ability. Students who do well in exams are therefore always favored in class. Others hold that grades have little to do with one’s ability. They point out that some students who do not well enough in school may also make great achievements.They take Edison for example, saying that Edison was considered not clever by his primary school teacher but became a very famous inventor later.
In my view, grades are important for us students. When people have no other ways to assess ability, they can decide whether we are qualified for school place or position only from our grades.
Therefore, we must try to achieve high grades in school, even though they are not the only standard for our abilities.
【作文段落】
The chart show that college students have change much in their ways of studying in English and their totally expenses for have also increased greatly. In2000, they borrowed either reference books or tapes ,but in 2008 they can choose their reference books, tapes, CDs, or DVDs, Mp3s on the internet. Consequently, their annual expenses for studying English have reason from 150 yuan to 230 yuan per person a fifty percent increase.
Many factors contribute to such changes. Firstly, as an international language, English is not
4
only useful when we travel abroad or communicate with foreigners, but also has become a must if we apply for a job in some large companies. Secondly, the income of most family has increased considerably. so college student can spend more on the English study. Last but not least, with the advancement of new techonology, more effecient English study facilities become avalible for students
【作文】You should write no less than 120 words and base your composition on the outline below: City Problems
1.越来越多的人涌入大城市,有些问题随之产生„ 2.比较明显的大问题有„ 3.我对这种现象的想法。 City Problems
Nowadays, millions of migrant workers flock into cities in search of jobs and better living. However, with the sharp rise in the urban population, many problems arise in the development of cities.
Firstly, cities become more and more crowded, putting much pressure upon transportation, housing, sanitation, education, employment and so on. City services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point. Secondly, a growing number of private cars emit huge amount of carbon dioxide, leaving the air mercilessly polluted. What is more, the city is also threatened by rising crime. Not a single day passes without the report of someone being robbed, kidnapped or murdered. Last but not least, city-dwellers are not only separated from the natural world but also isolated from each other, even not knowing the name of their next-door neighbor. All these problems have harmed the attractiveness of the city. Unless there is some improvement, more and more people may seek to live in the suburbs Private Tutoring
1.为孩子聘请家教目前非常普遍 2.家教的利与弊 3.我的看法
Private tutoring is “in”. A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors. Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents, for various reasons,missed the chance of obtaining a
5
good education. when their children meet with difficulties in study, they arc helpless, Private tutoring is the only solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as we11 as the weak points of the pupil, clearly.
However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages, for one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health. For another, some teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What’s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-ca11ed tips for test-taking Father than help them acquire what is more meaningful.
Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of the pupils’ potentials. Only in this way can we generation be healthily brought up.

After careful consideration, we can find three possible reasons to account for this trend. First of all, the expansion and amalgamation of universities provide chances for more students to receive higher education, but the job market cannot develop at the same speed. What’s more, the situation is even worse with those students who unanimously chose the “hot” majors such as economics and accounting. In the third place, many students think too highly of
themselves―they choose not to work at all if they are not satisfied with the job. They may think the pay is not satisfactory or the job is not decent at all. 模仿练习: Video Games

1. Should College Students Be Allowed to Live off Campus?
Some time ago, China's Ministry of Education banned university students from renting private accommodation. To this people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that most students prefer to live off campus for the purpose of living with their boyfriends or girl friends, which might severely affect their study. Besides, living on campus can ensure the safety of students and facilitate communication between them.
However, many others hold the opposite view. They claim that the living conditions on campus are unbearable. The dormitory is usually crowded and badly equipped. Besides, the university cuts the electricity too early every night. Therefore, many students choose to live off campus
12
in rented houses with the purpose of enjoying a reasonably better living environment and concentrating more on their studies.
As far as I am concerned, I tend to believe that universities should be more flexible towards the administration of dorms. The ban should never be a cut-off measure and special situations should be considered. Meanwhile, the school should try to upgrade the overall condition of dorms and provide all students with a better service at a low price.
(或Personally, I am in favor of the decision of China's Ministry of Education. Anyway, college students, most aged 18-22, are still too young to control themselves or make proper decisions. Besides, living on campus promotes a sense of belonging by being closely connected with other students. This could truly be a valuable part of the four-year college education.)
2. On Lottery Games
There is no denying the fact that lottery games have become a hotly debated topic in China. Opinions on this issue differ from person to person. Some people believe that lottery games are beneficial in many ways. For one thing, they help collect money for the poor, the disabled and the cause of sports. For another, lottery games provide people with a means of entertainment or pastime.
Many others, however, hold the opposite view. They claim that lottery games are, in fact, a kind of gambling. People are tempted to earn money through their luck instead of down-to-earth labor. They also aruge that the ticket buyers attach more importance to the prizes than to the support of the disabled or the cause of sports.
As far as I am concerned,// Weighing the arguments of both sides, I believe that it is OK to buy lottery tickets. Anyway, it has been existence for many years and proved to be more beneficial than harmful. Actually, we don’t have to worry too much because facts have shown that most people can treat lottery games with a peaceful and normal mind.
(Personally, I think that both sides have something right. Actually, lottery games should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to maximize their advantages and minimize their unhealthy influence, so that they can benefit us in a better way.)
3. TV Talent Show --- A Good Thing or Bad?
13
An army of people today are fond of the TV talent show. They support it and see themselves as fans of one or another show star. They believe that the TV talent show can change one’s fortune. At least, they argue that, the show offers the opportunity to show and develop one’s talents. On the contrary, a number of people hold the negative attitude to TV talent shows. They maintain that the TV talent show today is like a river that has risen to its flood level. It misleads the youth and makes them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight. As a result, a lot of students can’t calm down to study on the show’s season. Some of them take interest in imitating their idol, so much so that they can hardly recognize themselves. For my part, I believe that the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword, which can do both good and harm. Therefore, it is extremely important for us to face it properly. For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to create more positive and favorable shows. For another, the media ought to guide people, especially the young, to right way and refrain from exaggerating the effect of the show. 4. College Students’ Job Hunting There is no denying the fact that job hunting is a grave problem with which college graduates are confronted. Reports are often heard upon the number of students who fail to find a job on graduation. Actually, the problem has become so widespread that it has severely affected the graduates’ life and hindered the development of economy. A number of factors account for the problem, but the following are the most critical ones. First, in recent years, colleges and universities have enrolled so many students that the number of graduates are far greater than the need in the market. Secondly, many graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable jobs to do than go to small towns or the country. Last but not least, the ongoing financial crisis and economic depression aggravate the difficulty in job-seeking. In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. For one thing, it is essential that the government create more job opportunities by all means. For another, graduates should change their attitude towards employment and go to work in small cities and the country. With these measures taken, we have reasons to believe that the problem can be solved in the near future. 14 5. Food Safety
There is no denying the fact that food safety is a grave problem with which we are confronted. Reports are often heard upon food products of bad quality. The most notable instance might be the notorious San Lu milk powder scandal which has drawn considerable publicity in the past months. Actually, the problem has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s life and hindered the development of economy.
Fake and shoddy food products are bound to generate severe consequences if we keep turning a blind eye to them. First and foremost, they directly infringe upon consumers’ rights, wasting their money and threatening their health and even lives. Besides, the production and sale of such food cause serious losses on the part of honest and lawful producers. Last but not least, the destruction of the food means a grievous waste of the nation’s resources.
In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is high time that pertinent laws and regulations were worked out and rigidly enforced to crack down on any production and circulation of substandard food products. Meanwhile, inactive and incompetent civil servants should be immediately purged from the team of food safety supervision and administration. Only with these measures taken can we expect a bright future of this nation.

1. 信息安全问题日益重要 2. 信息安全事故可能导致的危害 3. 如何做到信息安全 【范文】
Information Security
The human beings are stepping into the information society. The information industry develops increasingly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals. Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.
In case of information breach, the victims — a government department, an organization or an institution, or a company, will inevitably suffer great or small loss. Government may be threatened with national security. Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. And the public’s and users? confidence will be damaged.
15
Then how to deal with this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security. What’s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff. However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough. Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combining prevention and detection techniques.

Issues on Weight Reducing
Nowadays the people are enjoying a more comfortable life and many people are suffering from obesity. Thus,losing weight becomes very popular.
However, weight reducing is a tricky topic. Some people lose weight quickly by crash dieting or other extreme measures. This will not help them lose weight since they usually gain back all (and often more) of the pounds they lost because they haven't permanently changed their habits. What’s worse, sometimes these extreme measures will affect the individual’s health. In my view, before one decides to lose weight, he first of all should make it clear whether he should or not lose weight. The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian. He or she can compare your weight with healthy norms to help you set realistic goals. If it turns out that you would benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions which are widely accepted by weight reducing experts to get it started.

Media and Shopping. You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 当今,各种媒体非常发达,人们通过媒体购物相当普遍起来
2. 媒体购物给人们带来很多方便,同时也暴露出其弊端 3. 我的看法 【范文】
Media and Shopping
With numerous technological advances, various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result, an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media, such as newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and the Internet.
As we know, every coin has two sides and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand, it saves much time, money and effort to purchase goods through media since you don’t have to go to the shops in person. Besides, you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand, you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss.
17
As far as I am concerned, shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time, we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way, we can reap more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.

1. 大学校园里,迟到、早退、旷课是常见的现象 2. 保证学生出勤水平对大学教育的重要性 3. 作为学生应该怎样做 【范文】
Attend Your Classes Regularly
Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from their classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and the teachers.
In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers, too. Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in return, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students. Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.
Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on. And some day we will benefit from it.
11. My View on Job-Hopping
1. 有些人始终从事一项工作 2. 有人却频繁跳槽 3. 我对跳槽的看法 【范文】
My View on Job-Hopping
Some people tend to stick to their positions all the time, as they think the longer one works in a particular field, the more skillful one will be at it. Some have been teachers all
18
their lives. Some devote their life energy to scientific research. Such people love their work and turn out to be specialists in their own field. They are usually high achievers. Some are different. They are in the habit of job-hopping, for they always pursue what is new and stimulating. They never seem content with their present situation. Some like to meet more people, make more money and new acquaintances, so they hop from job to job.
As far as I am concerned, I want to be professionally strong. I am not in favor of frequent job hopping, as the saying goes \"Jack of all trades, master of none\". But I want to have opportunities for advancement and as many colleagues as possible to cooperate and communicate with so as to be more creative and less partial.
12、A Letter of Condolence

A Letter of Condolence
Dear Wang,
In today’s newspaper, I read about the recent events in your town and I am writing to extend my deepest condolences.
It broke my heart to see all those pictures of those whose homes have been destroyed in the tragic hurricane. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a little girl crying on the roof of her house asking for help. I am really worried about you and your family, and all your friends there. I am crossing my fingers for you now in hopes that you are all safe and sound. I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you, and I want to extend to you my unwavering support. Our government and many nongovernmental organizations are initiating various campaigns to urge people to donate money and necessary things to send to America. I donated all my allowance that I have been saving for years.
I feel extremely sorry for this tragedy, and I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Please pass my concern on to your parents. Yours sincerely, Meng Fei

13、Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter on the topic Reform of College English Education. You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese::
1. 现在大学英语教学中存在的学校及老师的问题 2. 现在教学中存在的学生的问题 3. 你认为如何改革 【范文】
Reform of College English Education
The defects that exist in the current educational system are open to more criticism. It is known that interest is the best teacher, but a large part of college English teachers underestimate the effect of interest and keep preaching in class. Besides, “language environment” is needed to learn a foreign language and the lack of it in Chinese universities has hindered the student’s English learning.
Some bad habits of the students’ learning habits are also one of the factors of the inadequacy. Chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, and writing, therefore their English is also “broken” in this way. In addition, they are generally reluctant to practice speaking. This has greatly contributed to the “dumb English” of Chinese students.
The success of the college English education reform requires efforts of both educators and students. The universities should encourage students to speak English in their daily communications and hold more activities with the purpose of promoting students? speaking of English. Teachers should focus on attracting students with charms and interest of English in their classes. Students should try to be participants of the learning activities rather than passive receptors.
14、Students’ Rating of Their Teachers
学生给老师打分已很普遍 人们对其持不同态度 我的看法 【范文】
Students’ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.
20
This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system. They hold that since students attend the teachers’ classes everyday, they should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.
I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ performance. Instead of rating the teachers’ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they themselves have leaned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his relationship with students, and his ability to arouse interest in the subject.

How to Solve the Housing Problem in Big Cities?
With the development of modern industry, more and more people are flowing into big cities. Accordingly, the housing problem in big cities is becoming much more serious. People in the big city are complaining housing shortage and roaring price of the housing.
As we know, the temptation and opportunities provided by big cities attract people who want to make a fortune in big cities, which is the major cause of housing problem in big cities. Besides, house vacancy and speculating in the housing market are becoming the tough problem. We can’t deny the housing problem has brought about great pressure to the low-income families. Meanwhile, solving this problem will affect the public’s confidence on the government. To solve this problem, I think building satellite cities in the suburbs is more practical. The fresh air and beautiful scenery in the suburbs will pull many people from the overcrowded city and alleviate the pressure of housing.

目前假文凭现象屡见不鲜 这种现象造成的危害 我们应该怎么做 【范文】
How to Eliminate Fake Diplomas?
There has been a serious epidemic of fake diplomas in some big cities recently. Usually a certificate of Bachelor’s Degree costs about 200 yuan, which is really cheap compared with the 4 years of hard work and the pretty big sum of fees involved in normal ways of getting the diploma.
The victims of fake diplomas are first of all employers, who pay high salaries but do not get real talents. People who have genuine diplomas are also hurt greatly. They have honestly spent 4 or even more years and great energy working hard in schools, but cannot get any advantage in job hunting.
To combat the epidemic, practical ability and individual personality should be recognized as important factors of excellent job performance. Besides, effective measures supported by advanced IT technology should be introduced and taken to help employers distinguish genuine diplomas from fake ones.
17、 谈谈你对选秀节目的看法 On TV Show
时下电视选秀节目非常流行。有人认为选秀很好,能给普通人展示自己的机会。我的观点 【范文】
On TV Show
TV has been one medium of communication that has connected millions. And it is this link that makes talent hunt shows on the tube amazingly influential. Young faces conveying disappointment or even overwhelming joy have become a common sight on as many channels as your remote allows you to surf.
Some people have their opinions on the TV shows. The advantages of the shows are clear to some people. For one thing, in terms of business, the increasing popularity of talent shows has helped the channels in generating huge income by way of advertising and promotions. For another thing, the TV shows can make the common people have opportunity to show themselves.
22
Personally, I side with the former opinion. It is a wonderful feeling and a great way to relax for me to watch talent shows and see ordinary people like myself become famous and win cash prizes. As long as talent shows are entertaining and inspiring us, there is great sense in keeping and encouraging them.

Cell Phones
As is shown in the chart, cell phones are becoming more and more popular within China.

The newest statistic shows that in 2007 the number has exceeded 500 million.
There are many factors contributing to this development. Firstly, a cell phone has no wires and can be carried everywhere easily. Secondly, a cell phone is something wonderful that we can have fun with news, games, music and chat through sending short messages. Thirdly, the drop in price and the simultaneous improvement in the functions have made it possible for an average person to make use of a cell phone. ?
The wide use of cell phones has made them more and more indispensable in people’s daily life. The many functions of the cell phone have made certain people reluctant to separate themselves from their cell phone.

A Letter of Application for a Student Loan October 14, 2007 To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you to apply for a student loan. As a freshman from the English Department, I have much financial difficulty in continuing my study.
There are five members in my family. My father is the only breadwinner of the whole family while my mother was laid off two years ago. My grandmother has been suffering a chronic illness for more than five years. My younger brother is now studying in a high school. I took part-time jobs during the summer vacation, but what I have earned is far from enough for me to pay the required tuition fees. In order to continue my study, I have to apply for a student loan. If my request is granted, I will make good use of the money and put my heart into study. I will definitely pay back the loan according to the requirements. I hope that you will consider my application.
Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Gao Peng

My Opinion on Campus Love
On campus, lovers can be found here and there. Some people think too much intimacy has a bad influence. It takes lovers too much time and energy. Furthermore, their intimacy can distract their own as well as other students’ attention from study. Campus should be a place for study and should maintain an atmosphere of learning.
On the other hand, other people believe it is OK. Pursuing love is all right to students on campus and intimacy is a natural expression of love. Some scholars of law hold that friendship and appropriate intimacy are an important part of student development.
In my opinion, what all people should do is just leave it as it is. University students are adults, and they can handle their own affairs well enough. However, they have to admit that
24
school is a place where people receive an education and their main task is to study. Therefore, students are expected to behave themselves in proper ways.

Intelligence-Nature or Nurture?
Nowadays, there is no agreement among people concerning intelligence. Some people contend that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. And the closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. However, others maintain that environment plays a crucial role in our intelligence. For instance, if we put two identical twins in different environments, we might send one to university and the other to a factory where the job is boring, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later.
Just as every coin has two sides, our intelligence is partly born and partly developed. The sure way to develop our intelligence is intelligent parents as well as a good environment.

Parents Are the Best Teachers
It is your parents who teach you to walk; it is your parents who teach you to speak; it is your parents who teach you to do these basic things in your life. Thus parents should be the best teachers!
First of all, parents know us more than others do. Parents give us life, and I consider that we will spend plenty of time with them. Therefore, they learn about our merit and shortcomings clearly. At the same time, they will help us to shake off our demerit. Besides,
25
parents own much more life experience than us. Sometimes, they are just like our models. And as the saying goes: “Example is better than precept.” Thus we will unconsciously imitate some of our parents' habits and styles of behavior, which means that we can learn good things from them.
Just as the saying goes: “There is no place like home.” And I think there is no teacher like our parents. They are the best teachers in our life.

【范文】
A Shopping Center in the Neighborhood
Although large shopping centers are very convenient and good places to spend free time, they can also bring some disadvantages, and for this reason I would disagree with the building of one in my neighborhood.
First of all, one disadvantage of having a large shopping center would be a great increase in traffic. More cars would not only bring traffic jams but also noise and parking problems. Second, a large shopping center requires a lot of space. To build one, some open space would have to be sacrificed. We might no longer have room for a sports ground.
Just because of the above disadvantages, I would oppose any plan to construct a large shopping center in my neighborhood. Although it is necessary for me to visit shopping centers on occasion, I could spend some time traveling to another one not far away. My neighborhood is a peaceful and quiet place and I hope it will stay that way.

Do Libraries Become Useless at the Age of Information?
There has been a heated discussion about libraries at the age of information among people. Some people, especially the younger generation, challenge the value of conventional libraries. When they need any information in their studies or work, they can turn to their computers for help. For this reason, they do not need to go to a library for borrowing or returning one or two books.
While others, including most old people as well as scholars, value libraries. They love libraries because they can enjoy peace and quietness in an isolated spiritual world. And they also have access to rare academic works needed for their studies in the libraries. In my view, conventional libraries are still available though there is still much room for improving. At the Age of Information, as long as knowledge is respected and cherished, libraries won’t extinct from our lives. On the other hand, libraries should not refuse the latest information technology, which will enable them to regain those young readers.

Aid Education in China
There has been a hot topic recently about college students’ being encouraged to help children in the poor and remote areas.
Generally aid-education is helpful in two aspects. First of all, it can broaden volunteers’ horizons in poverty-stricken regions. For instance, it is a golden opportunity for volunteers to experience a completely different life. In addition, college students have to adapt themselves to the harsh living conditions, meanwhile they can make friends with the children. In my view, the future of China’s education depends on the joint efforts of the society, the government and all the citizens. To sum up, we college students should take the initiative in response to the appeal for supplying help to children in poor regions.

Trying to Renew Knowledge
Today’s society is of knowledge economy age, in which new knowledge emerges much faster than ever before. Moreover, knowledge plays an important part in the whole economy. Therefore, everyone finds it necessary to renew his (or her) knowledge, otherwise he (or her) will be left behind the society.
There are some ways to update knowledge. On the one hand, one can attend different courses at all types of schools, either part-time or full-time. On the other hand, self-study is, in a sense, a more convenient and practical method by which one can effectively renew his (or her) knowledge.
28
In my view, I have primarily depended on self-taught method in the recent years. Although I am busy doing daily work, I still insist on teaching myself at night. In this way, I can not only keep up with the swift development of society but also apply new knowledge to my practical work, which benefits me a lot.

Western Fast Food
Fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food. There are several reasons for its popularity. For one thing, it is fast and convenient. Go into a fast food restaurant, and your food will be ready in a minute. Precious time won’t be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive. For another, its popularity is also attributed to the clean food, the excellent service and the comfortable environment of the fast food restaurants, and American style.
However, I think that fast food isn’t healthy enough because it doesn’t compose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and we should turn to it only once in a while.
