Live in the dormitory
In our country most students, from middle school on, usually go out of the bosom of their parents and share the roof with other careless and artless boys or girls.The dormitory, especially college dormitroy where students sleep and study, acts as part and parcel of campus life.Fussy parents may frown at the idea of letting their pampered children room with others among whom someone may snore nosily at night and someone’s feet may give off nauseating stench.And what’s worse, these parents may fidget at the very idea of how their children will do without their making the bed and tidying the room for the kids.Sensible parents will dispense with these silly worries.Their children should not be always tied to their mother’s apron strings.They should live on their own one day, just like the birds who will definitely fly out their of snug nests, and go through all the trials and tribulations in their virgin flight.The life in the dormitory for a student marked the beginning of their indepedence, the start of self-reliance which will lead to their final maturity.What’s more, dormitory presents chance of cooperation with other roomates, chance of learning to live harmoniously with others and chance of sharing joys and sorrows with others.And these factors, to some degree, mould one’s character which consequently influence their future career.Keep connected with parents
It seems today that the parents-children band has loosened.Parents nowadays engaged themselves with their endless work so that they spare little time with their children.In the consequence, the forlorn children, with a sense of being abandoned, grow frigid and apathetic toward their parents, thus all sorts of misunderstanding may crop up between them and the so-called generation gap is enlarging.The contributing factors to the loosening of parents-children band may be various.But one need not go far to find that the main responsibility lies in the parents who are so obsessed with money-grabbing that they invest too scanty time with their children.At the same time, one should not neglect the fact that many youngsters, who are always recognized as wayward, self-willed and rebellious, and who always defy any of their seniors with their oft-repeated admonitions, try to avoid any prolonged communication with their parents, which worsens the already gloomy situation.It will be difficult to give a definite answer when it comes to how to deal with this problem.Perhaps the parents should not always be so busy with their work and occasionally spare some time with their children.Simply a mere holiday with their kids will help break the ice and promote understanding.As to the children, they should act more obediently and try to cast off their premature cynical outlook toward their seniors.Only in this way can we expect a more promising future in parents-children relationship.Human beings and natural disasters
This May had seen a calamity fell upon Si Chuan province which rocked the whole nation.The moment when the appalling pictures of children crushed under the collapsed bricks appeared on TV, I was totally aghast and stunned.There occurred to me a haunting question: how do we human
beings cope with such natural disasters?
Human beings, always boasting about their triumph over nature, prove to be trival and even negligible before the mighty nature and its devastating power.Just envision how helpless we are when horrid earthquake levels the whole city and how impotent and passive are our salvages after the surging flood tears down hundreds of thousands of houses.The catastroghes nature deals us are mostly its vengeances on human being for the destruction of ecological balance.Mankind, with an insatiable lust for material comfort, grab as many as they can from the Mother Nature and meanwile defile its purity with all the wastes and pollutions.Enough is enough.The human beings will not avoid the punishments of nature untill they mend their behaviors and live in a compatible way with the nature.As for the unavoidable disasters such as an earthquake, it is important for us to gain further knowledge of the earth and make more accurate forecast.Proper precautions will help us reduce the bad effect brought by this kind of disaster.Shopping online
Ever-developing technology nowadays has enabled a man to sit cozily in his own room,clicking the mouse while finishing his shopping.This “online shopping”, a conceived idea beyond most people’s wildest dreams only decades ago, now comes ture and becomes all the fashion immediately.But opinions towards this new fashion vary from person to person.Liberal people embrace it with vehement passion.They stress the convenience and effectiveness of shopping online in that they can acquire the knowledge of comparative prices at the local merchants and markets from a read-out appearing on the screen, and they can also consult with the butchers, the bakers and the grocers online through QQ or other chatting softwares before they finally nail down their choices.What’s more, they spare the pains of hurrying to a bustling market and of doing all the bargains amid the throngs.However, conservative people may look at online shopping in a different light.They claim that there are lurking dangers in it, for financial transcations will be correspondingly conducted online in an intangible way.And as far as the goods are concerned, who will guarantee for the online shoppers that all the goods they get are not shoddy and fake ones? Far-sighted people may point out the dehumanizing factors of online shopping with the consideration that a new type of couch potato may come into being when more and more people become loath to go anywhere except to seclude themseves in the house clinging to computers.Perhaps it is unadvisable for us to rush to a conclusion.Anyway, why don’t we hail “online shopping” as a new option of living? At least when it is raining outside, the listless ones can do their shopping with merely several clickings of their mouses.Correct spelling in English study
Nowadays, a growing number of students choose English as their second language and deovte tremendous energy and effort to it.But a problem in their English study that should not be
neglected is that more and more students pay little attention to their spelling of the language.Thus although some of them can speak fluently, when it comes to writing an essay or something like that, there will probably be a lot of spelling mistakes.There’s a lot of reasons contributing to this deplorable phenomenon, but the most important one may lie in the students’ underestimation of the importance of their writing ability.Many students, in my opinion, just pay too much attention to their listening and speaking skills, while on the other hand, disregard the importance of writing which is as important as the former.Another important factor may be that many students now are obsessed with computer.They spend a lot of their leisure time in playing computer games, thus fails to study English hard.All in all, it is important to have correct spelling in English study when studying English well.The students, from now on should pay more attention to their spelling and cut down on their time spent on computer.2008-8-4

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically.In fact, we make a choice between “flight or fight”and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response.It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.预测主题之第八位:节约
As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, water is being wisely utilized in the daily life of a family.The good conduct is indeed praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society.The implied meaning of the drawing can be stated as follows.To begin with, to practise economy is closely related to our daily life.In terms of our clothing, food, sheltering, and transport, much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power, water, coal, gas and so on.We, as university students, should take the wise use of paper and second-hand textbooks into consideration.What’s more, the public participation is the foundation of a society in which to practise economy is advocated and treasured.Since social environment is shaped by the general public, the cultivation of economy-practising society depends on the active involvement of every member of our society, be he old or young.In sum, our daily life should be1
permeated with the sense of practising economy and public participation should be encouraged.In my view, necessary measures should be taken so as to practise economy.On the one hand, we should launch a public campaign to help people build up the sense of practicing economy in our routine life.On the other hand, education on how to practise economy must be promoted by relevant government departments and professionals at different levels.Only in this way can we create a real economy-practising society.预测主题之第七位:健康
Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health.But how to keep healthy? Different people may give different answers to this question.In my opinion, it is essential to do the following.First, it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise every day.Research shows that getting plenty of exercise make the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder.This strengthens the heart, reduces the chance of heart attack, and helps lower blood pressure.That“s why more and more people are becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises.Every morning many people get up early and take much exercise.Some practice shadowboxing and swordplay while others run, jog, walk or dance to music.In the afternoon,there are also many people keen on sports.Some play basketball or volleyball or table tennis, others go in for gymnastics or track events.Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health.They advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish.Fat can build up in the arteries, block the flow of blood, and cause a heart attack or stroke.预测主题之第六位:竞争
Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth.In a sense, competition is one of the motive force to the development of society.In fact, the only way our world reward people is to give laurels to the winners, not to the losers.What is more, by attempting to compete at different activities, we learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses.Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.To go ahead, to acquire possession, we should be competitive.To us, industriousness and ambition are positive values.Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy(战利品), and the contract.Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.预测主题之第五位:纪律
Some people say that the best way to raise children is to them to be independent thinkers.Other people disagree and say that children need to be taught discipline in order to let them successful.In other word, children should either be granted freedom, or be given more discipline.I tend to agree with a policy of firm discipline.The people whose view places emphasis on encouraging children to think freely hope the child will be able to understand and govern the world.The child is considered as an “equal” to the adult.This view has been popular in the western countries, where corporal punishment of children is now illegal.The concept of “rights” for children is part of a wider political movement
that also asserts right for women, animals and environment.Discipline is justified because adults are generally wiser than children.Discipline in childhood fosters(养育)the child for the hardship of his future life.预测主题之第四位:自信
Confidence is power--the power to attract, persuade, influence, and succeed.Imagine what your life would be like if you had an abundance of selfconfidence!Confidence isn”t an inherited trait, it“ s a learned one.This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.The very first thing you have to do to create abundant self-confidence is to start thinking with confidence.Pay attention to your internal dialogue, and learn to notice when you allow negativity or doubt to control the course of your thinking.Your environment has a tremendous influence on you.The books you read, the people you spend time with, and the music you listen to all influence the way you think and feel about yourself and the world around you.If you”re in a situation where you"re discouraged, such as an unhealthy relationship or a miserable job, you have to change that situation if you want your self-confidence level to grow.Create an environment that supports you if your desire to have abundant self-confidence.Spend time with confident people.预测主题之第三位:心理
As is apparently betrayed in the bar chart above, at present university students suffer from psychological problems of various kinds, among which spiritual depression, miscellaneous problems, and suicide-committing top the list.What the chart reveals is indeed thought-provoking.The implied meaning of the chart above can be briefly stated as follows.On the one hand, university students are encountering more psychological problems than ever before.The fact can be attributed to many factors.Most university students are overloaded with study and haunted by employment pressure.As young and inexperienced people, they are also facing emotional dilemma and trial of human interrelationship.Besides, some students are in a financial predicament.On the other hand, necessary psychological work for university student is a must for the time being.It is quite shocking that at least forty percent of university students suffer from spiritual depression.The very fact should not be neglected.Effective countermeasures must be taken to reverse the current grim situation.In sum, the psychological problems should be put on our agenda.In my view, great efforts must be made so as to ensure the healthy growth of university students.To begin with, we must have a good understanding the necessity of psychological instruction and guidance among university students.What’s more, government departments at different levels and related organizations should make joint efforts to

Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places?
In recent years, smoking as been banned in many public places such as shops, restaurants, and even bus stops.This regulation has triggered much dispute.On the one hand, many welcome the ban since lots of illnesses and deaths are smoking –related, and this is a very sensible step to improve people’s heath and living condition.On the other hand,however, smokers consider it is unfair to ban smoking.It is their right to smoke, and they are not committing any crime, so the government should not ban them.In my view, to ban smoking is a long term process, during which education rather than enforcement is more likely to be the key to the success.Banning smoking in the public areas is a policy that should be implemented step by step.On Internet Celebrities
In recent years, a variety of internet celebrities have emerged with different stories.Some folks consider it a cultural progress in this network era while some hold the opposite opinion.I prefer that this phenomenon is a progress.First, the emergence of those celebrities represents the free1
expression of new ideas, either creative or queer.New idea is a very important aspect in the development of this fast-moving word.Second, the society’s acceptance to the celebrities indicates that we are more open-minded and willing to take in the new stuff than before.With more new ideas and open-minded sense, we are able to create an all-round diversified society.All in all, the emergence of internet celebrities, to some extent, is our progress in developing a more diversified society.Should Electricity in the Dormitory Be Cut Off after Midnight ?
The electricity in the dormitory of some colleges is cut off after midnight to ensure students to go to bed early.Some people agree with this conduct for it is beneficial to student’s daytime study;while some argue that this regulation imposes restrictions on students’ private life.For me, I agree with the latter opinion.First, a college student is already an adult, he can control his work and rest schedule.Second, now people’s life depends on electricity very much.It is inconvenient when a student needs to use an appliance but the electricity is unavailable.Third, sometimes a student may study late.Without electricity, he can not finish his assignment on time and this is not good for his study.Hence, colleges should abandon this unnecessary operation and offer 24-hour electricity supply to students.The Advantages and Disadvantages of Keeping Pets
Nowadays many people like raising pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, etc.Actually, it is good to keep pets because pets can play with the young and accompany the old.Research also shows that living with a pet helps to soothe people’s pressure and distress and even decreases the possibility of getting heart diseases.However, many are against living together with animals.They argue that pets are easily infected by diseases, which may pass on to humans.What’s more, the unpleasant smell and waste caused by pets are a resource of environmental pollution.In my opinion, keeping pets brings joy to our life.But to avoid potential risks and troubles, we have to make sure that our pets are properly vaccinated and their behaviors are under control.Factors of Success
Achieving success is an ideal for almost everyone.However, it does not mean everyone can make it, since it takes effort, time amongst
other factors.First of all, painstaking effort is indispensable for anybody who wants to be successful.“No pains, no gains “ is the universal truth acknowledged by all successful men.Secondly, success always comes along with time.As the saying goes, “ Rome was not built in a day “;likewise, any wish of becoming successful overnight is nothing more than a fantasy.Besides, there are other important factors leading to success, such as confidence, intelligence, patience, perseverance, to name just a few.As a young man, I will still striving on my way to success.Already aware of the challenges and barriers ahead, I have equipped myself with the most courage and determination..
