Some think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play. Both views are based on respective ground. Those who argue for the playing time for childern suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young childern can hardly concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer than 15 minutes or so. But we can arrange classes for shorter periods, can’t we? And we can shift teaching subjects. Through putting them to study, young children are occupied with learnging but not with playing. Those who argue for chilldren’s earyly commencement for formal education believe that being put to studies, children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develop children’s mental abilities like the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and the ability to do simple calculation. Children’s habit of studying and love for learning are of great importance to youngsters because these two things set up the sound foundation for their future studies. Having children start formal education at a very early age benefits young childern much more than simply letting them play most of their time. A good habits needs a long time to develop to become a second nature. More importantly, it is better to develop a good habit before a bad one may grow. Similarly, the love for learning should take toots for before the love for playing is established. 1( Should a person make an important decision alone? A person should never make an important decision alone, important decisions should be well thought out. People who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different prespective, or share their own experience. When I had difficulty deciding which classes to take in collage, I talked to my teachers and advisors, they had the knowledge and expertise to help me determine which classes were the best ones to take for my future career. Without their advice, I might have chosen unsuitable courses. In collage, I had convinced myself that I was not good enough to act in the school play. Therefore, I decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion. The day of the auditon, a friend of mine asked me why I was not auditioning. When I told her I did not feel I was good enough, she was shocked, she was able to provide me with another perspectiove on myself and my talents. I rethought my decision and tried out„.and got a lead in the play. Last year when I was trying to decide whether or not I should study overseas, I talked to my friend. This was the best thing I could have done. This was a big decisition for me because I had never been overseas on my own and I was not sure if I could do it. She had studied overseas the precious year. She told me about the challenges and opportunities I might encourter and helped me make the right decision. I went and it was amazing. Whenever I am faced with an important decision, I seek advice from others so that I am well-informed and have the benefit of their perspectiove and experience. 3(My opnion on advertisement Advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. There are many way to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers and billboards carry advertisements; some products are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience. Advertising is a big industry and many agencies are set up for furnish a variety of services for it. However, advertising is not welcome sometimes. A most irritating thing is to watch advertisements before and during films on TV. There are so many of them that they make you forget what you are sitting there for. The ironical thing is that advertisements of one type of things are often shown one after another so that you are confused as to which product you should choose. What’s more, advertising is not always truthful. The advertisers exaggerate the benefits of the merchandise they want to sell in order to gain more profits. Thus the consumer falls victim to such advertising. Although there are disadvantages of ads, we can not forget the advantages and the conveniences they bring to us. First, by telling us where something is available, they may save us money and time. They guide us in finding suitable jobs and other information as well. Secondly, a wide range of activities and institutions receive finanical support through advertising. Without this support we would have to pay much more for newspaters and sports games. Thirdly, perfect advertisements even provide entertainment. A considerable amount of effort goes into their production. So in most cases the photography is truly artistic, the slogans are genuinely witty, and the situations are decidely funny. Generally speaking, advertisements have become one of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today. Let us make our life easier by learning to choose proper ads, and be the master of advertisements, not their salve. 4(Living in university dormitories or apartments in the community? I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life.student’s needs hange over four years, so their housing should too. Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students.Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy. Living in the dormitory also make a student feel more a part of the uniersitycommunity. There are more opportunities for becoimg involved in university activities and networking with students and university administraction. Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Fingding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graducation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood. Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel. I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students. 5.Providing physical exercises should not be the schools responsibility? While physical exercise is important, I do not believe that it is the school’s responsibility to provide physical training for its students. That is something that everyone can take care of on his or her own. Many students get plenty of physical exercise as part of their daily life or recreation. A student who bicycles ten miles to and from school does not need more exercise. A good physical education program must take a student’s outside activity into consideration. Otherwise, some students will spend valuable class hours repeating physical exercise. If a school offers such activities, it also suggests that students will be graded on them. The range of possible physical activities is great: football, swimming, weight lifting, ballet, ballroom dance, yoga, skiiing, horseback riding, and golf are just a few. However, the number of activities that a school could offer is small. Some students could get bad grades in physical education simply because the school could not provide an activity they enjoy or do well. This seems unfair. Research suggests that participation, not excellence, in these activities determines the psysical benefits the body will get. Another issue is economic. Many schools do not have the money to provide gry facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their student. Other schools are located in cities where the kind of space just is not available. A few shools would rather keep money for academic purposes. Schools can certainly encourage physical activity. They can provide space for activities, events, and classes for psysical activities. They can encourage students to plan time away from academic studies to get some exercise. However, I think that providing exercise should not be the schools responsibility. 6.The most important characteristic Although honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor are all worthwhile characteristics, I feel the most important one in life to have is sensitivity. A sensitive person is aware if him/herself and the way their actions affect others. A sensitive person knows the place of honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor. Honesty is not always the best policy. There is such a thing as a white lie. You do not want to insult someone by saying that their new dress does not fit properly or that you would not live in their new house even if they paid you. You must be sensitive to when it is necessary to tell the truth and when it is better to tell a white lie. Intelligence is a wonderful thing to have, but not all intelligent people use their intelligence sensitively. You don’t want to the reaction of the people around you. It might be appropriate for you to admit that you have the right answer, but in some cases, you might have to say, “I think this is the answer, but we might want to check it.” A sensitive person would not make someone else look dumb. A sense of humor is always values. Different people, however laugh at different things. You don’t want to make someone feel uncomfortable by laughing at his/her mistakes. A sensitive person would understand whether a person could be teased or whether a person would appreciate a certain joke. A sensitive person would make everyone feel comfortable. A sensitive person understands that people are different and that the values of honesty, intelligence and humor can be applied differently. 7.Advantages and disadvantages of spending a great amount of time practising sports Most kids love to play sports. It’s important to them, but for the majority, it’s just one type of activity out of many that they do. For a small number of kids, though, a sport becomes their whole life. They spend almost all their time and energy practising. This has both advantages and disadvantages. Sports are good for young children in many ways. Kids who enjoy sports are likely to have better health. They develop good habits of daily exercise that will keep them healthy as adults, too. Today, many childern and adults are overweight, but those who love sports stay in shape. Plus, by developing their physical abilities, they will learn how to work hard toward a goal. Their achievements in sports will make them feel good about themselves. They will also make friends and learn teamwork. Sports ,whether a little or a lot, can have positive effects. We admire the talent and dedication of young atheletes, but we also wonder if they’re losing something. Their focus is very narrow. If they devote most of their time to sports ,are they negeleting schoolwork? What about other interests? Children should try out many different activities. In addition, many young atheletes are pressured by parents or coaches to succeed. Kids whose drive comes form inside usually do okay, but others can be unhappy and have health and emotional problems. So sports, like anything else in excess, can have negative effect too. When I was young, I liked books and hated sports. I saw other people who loved sports and hated school. Now that I am older, I have found a better balance. People have to figure out what’s right for them. Is there such a thing as too much sports? There is no right answer, because there is no “right amount”. Everyone is different. 8.A device or pill that help people sleep better If I could invent something new, I would invent a device or pill that could put people to sleep immediately and would have no side effects. The proper amount of sleep is important for our concentraction, mental health, and physical health. Getting enough sleep is a vital human need. For one thing, without sleep our concentration is strongly affected. We are easily distracted, we can not remember things, and we do not notice what’s happening around us. For example, a lot of car accidents are caused by tired drivers. When we get enough sleep, our powers of concentration are sharper. We are more focused on what we are doing. We perform better. Mental health is also affected by lack of sleep. It is easy to tell if people don’t get enough sleep. They’re on edge, cranky, and out of sorts. They lose their tempers easily and over-react to situations. In fact, experiments have shown that lack of sleep over a long period of time can cause a complete mental breakdown. When we get our proper rest, we are more about: and responsive. Our outlook is positive, and we are much easier to get along with. Our physical health shows the strain of sleeplessness, too. We have less energy, and everything seems like a major effort. Over a long period of time, we become slow and unresponsive. The wear and tear on the body from lack of sleep can be a very serious health problems. Every doctor will tell you that getting enough sleep is a basic factor in maintaining good health. Wouldn’t it be great to go to bed every night knowing you’d have no problem getting to sleep, no matter what’s going on in your life? Getting enough sleep is always going to be an important part of how you respond to your situation. I think this device would be very helpful to all of us. 9.Should teachers be paid on how much their students learn? Education plays a great role in the advancement and success of every society. While there are many factors which affect how well a student learns, the teacher is no doubt one of the most important. Some people believe that teachers would be able to teacher their students more if they were better motivited. For this reason, they suggest that teachers be paid according to how much their students learn. In my opinion, this is not a good idea for the following reasons. First, although a teacher can have a great influence on students, he is not the sole determiner of the students’ success. Other factors, such as the school curriculum and the home environment of the students, must be considered. Therefore, not only is the plan to pay teachers according to the success of their students unfair to the teachers, but it is lead the education authorities to disregard other important factors. Second, while basing their pay on how much their students learn might motivate teachers to tech better, it will certainly lead them to put too much pressure on the students. Furthermore, depending on how the students are evaluated, such a system might cause teachers to put too much emphasis on test scores and ignore other measurements of learning. For these reasons, I think that paying teachers accoring to how much their students learn is not a good idea. It is unfair to both the teachers and the students and may be detrimental to the learning process. This, in turn, would be disadvantageous to the society as a whole. 10.Childhood: the most important years of a persons life I agree that a person’s childhood years, from birth to twelve years of age, are the most important. All the information I have read about that time of life states that these are the years that form us. These years determine what kind of a person the child will become. During these years we learn about relationships, begin our formed education and develop our moral sense of right and wrong. The early years are the time when we learn about relationships. First we learn about our parents and sibings, then about rest of the world. We learn how to respond to others base on the treatment we’re given. If we are loved, then we know how to love others. If we’re treated harshly, we may grow up to treat others harshly. We also form our ideas about our own self-worth from the way others treat us during these years. They can convince us we are worthless, or they can teach us we deserve love and respect. They are the years when be begin our formal education. We acquire the basic skills--- reading, writing, working with numbers. That we’ll use throughout our lives. We need a good foundation in these subjects. Otherwise, anything we try to do later will be undermined by our lack of skills. Perhaps the most important thing we can learn during these years is how to analyze information and use it. These are skills that will always be useful. Most important, form my point of view, these are the years when we develop our moral sense of what’s right and wrong. Others teach us about good and bad, but later in our early years we begin to decide for ourselves. It is also during this time that we begin to develop the self-discipline to live according to our morals. I believe a person grows and changes for the better throughout the many stages of life. However, the foundation is laid in those first few years of life. 11. We value scientists more Artists and scientists both make valuable contribution to our society. It may seem sometimes that artists are more valued. That’s because those artists who are famous and make a lot of money. However, they are relatively few. The fact is that scientists are more valued. They get more respect from society for the work they do. Artists reflect their times and their culture. A painter or a writer shows us in pictures and words what we are like as a people. They record our culture for future generations. Actors and other performers, like singers and dancers, entertain us. They take our minds off our troubles, and remind us how beautiful and exciting our imaginations can be. Artists also help keep their societies mentally and emotionally healthy. For example, children that participate in the arts, such as painting or music, in school do better in their other studies. Art of all types is necessary to the human spirit. The contributions scientists make to society are more obvious. They include the cars we drive, the computer we use at home and at work, and the appliances that helpus cook our meals and clean our houses. All of these come from the ideas and hard work for scientists. Because of scientific discoveries, we’re living longer and more healthful lives.scientists also contribute to the arts. Movies are the result of science. So are television, radio, and the recording of music on CDs. Generally, scientists don’t make as much money as famous artists like film stars, opera singers or successful painters. However, our society gives them more respect, and they generally make a good living. Scientists are considered to be serious professionals, while artists are sometimes viewed as flaky, irresponsible people. So overall, I’d have to conclude that we value scientists more. 12.It is always better to be a leader According to my opinion, it is always better to be a leader than a follower. True leaders show initiative. They take action and they assume responsibility. A leader makes a decision. Some followers may approve of the decision, others may complain about it. However, these followers all choose to follow, not to lead. They choose not to make a decision. That’s how I am different. I am not a follower. I want to make the decisions. Good leader will not react to events, but will anticipate them. A leader will start a plan of action and then will persuade others to follow. For example, a class president at a local college may feel that the relationship between the community and the campus is not a good one. The citizens may feel that the college kids make too much noise on the street, litter public areas, and shop in the other communities.a good class president will recognize that the community and the campus depend on one another. The president will ask the student body to keep noise down, help clean up the neighborhoods, and work with businesses to attract students. A good leader takes the initiative. Good leaders must be action-oriented. Having taken the initiative, they must see the job through. They have to take charge and lead the followers. They have to motivate and encourage the followers. The followers must understand why good relations with the community are necessary. The followers must be persuaded to do something about it. I enjoy taking the initiative, determing the direction, and being responsible for my actions. I don’t want to suffer through other people’s stupid decisions. If there are going to be stupid ways to do something, let them be mine. Wouldn’t you agree? 13.The most important room in a house The kitchen is my favorite room in a house, because it is where families gather. To me, that is the most important thing. So many of the memories people have of growing uo revolve around the kitchen. My childhood memories concern the kitchens in my grandparents’ homes. My mother’s family lived in a row house in the city. The rooms were all small, and that included the kitchen. In the summertime, the back door of the house would be left open. People would be sitting on the back proch and in the kitchen, talking and laughing, while my grandmother made dinner. There was no air-conditioning, but I don’t ever remember feeling too hot. There was always a breeze coming through, along with the sounds of traffic and kids playing ball in the street. My father’s family live on a farm in the country, and their house had a huge kitchen with windows on three sides. It seemed as if the windows were always open and the curtains blowing with the breeze. The main door to the house was almost never used. Everyone came in through the kitchen, and sat at the big table in the middle of the room. When dinner was being prepared, all the women would bustle around, while the men sat at the table talking about farm prices. Sometimes my grandmother would not even sit down during dinner, but would be refiling bowls of food and people’s glasses. From outside, we could hear the cows in the field near the house. These two kitchens are the background for some of my happiest memories. From the beginning of time, human beings have gathered together near the fire where the food was being prepared. I hope that never changes. 14.International aid for poor countries is necessary The economic and social gaps between the developed countries and the developing countries are becoming wider and wider in the past decades. It is frequently debated in the international forums whether the wealthy countries should give financial help to the developing countries. In my personal opinion, the former not only ought to provide, but also should increase the aid to the latter. The industrilazed countries have the resonsibility to help the poor country to solve the problems arising from poverty. In the past, western countries accumulated plenty of fortune by exploiting the colonized nations, and accomplished the industrial revolution process. Nowadays, although the colonies have acquired independence, western countries still make enormous profits each year through selling their industrial products, technology and intellectual properties to the underdeveloped countries. Due to lack of funds for development, some countries are in extreme poverty. Hundreds of thousands of people are in hunger. Many of them died of starvation and malnutrition. Women and children are more likely to become the victims of poverty. Is there any excuse for wealthy nations to refuse donating their money and food to these miserable people? International aid is also an important means for the poor countries to get rid of poverty. With international financial donations, the poor countries can improve their education facilities and let more children have opportunities to go to school, and eventually eliminating the root of poverty. On the other hand, aid-recipient countries should know how to make use of the aid effectively and appropriately. In conclusion, international aid to poor countries is necessary and essential, and rich countries have the indispensable obligations to offer their help, while the recipient countries should utilize the aid properly. 15.The young have plenty to teach he old Many of us believe that young people have nothing valuable to teach older people. However that is not always the case. Young peole can teach older people about technology, youth culture, and young-related social issues. Young people are usually better at using new forms of technology than old peple. This is true of other technology too. For example, I taught my grandparents how to use a videocassette recorder when I was thirteen years old. They did not know what it chould do, and I showed them. Now they use it regularly. Older people are usually not familiar with youth culture, and younger peole can help here too. This is important because it can help older peole live a more enjoyable life. For example, popular music is generally youth oriented, and older people don’t always listen to it. However, when yougn people teach them about it, they may come to enjoy it. My grandmother, for example never listened to popular music before I introduces her to it. Now she and I listen and dance all the time. Of course, there are more serious issues about what younger peole can teach older peole. As with computer, today’s childern have grown up knowing about AIDS and school violence. That is not true for older generations. Here, again, children can teach older people about things that are important to everyone. I know there are people who would say “you can’t teach an older dog new tricks.” However, it’s plain to me that the young have plenty to teach the old if they take the time to try. When they do, I think both will gain a new appreciation for each other. 16.Some people prefer to spend time with one or two close friends.others choose to spend time with a large number of friends. Compare the advantage of each choice. Which of these two ways of spending time do you prefer? Write a composition of about it. We all need to have friends, and I think the more friends we have the better. Friendship helps us learn how to trust others, what to expect from others, and how to profit from experiences. I want to have a lot of friends around me so I can learn more about myself form different peole. I want to have people around me that I trust and that I can depend on. We all need friends, both in times of trouble and in times of happiness. If I only have a few friends, it is possible that they might not be available if I need them. If I have a lot of friends, it is more likely that they will be able to share my troubles or my good forture. I want to have people around me that surprise me, if I have just one or two friends, I know what to expect from them. I know how they will react. If I have a lot of friends aroud me, I will always be surprised. Each will have a different way of reacting to a situation. Observing this reaction and responding to it will teach me how to deal with strangers whom I might meet. I want to have people around me that can teach me something about life. If I only have a couple of friends, I will know everything about them very quickly. If I have hundreds of friends, think what I will learn. Each day they will teach me something new and show me a new way of thinking about something. I have a lot to learn in life, so I want as many as people as possible to help me. I want to a lot of friends to show me how to have a good time. I will do the same for them. 17.the importance of studying history and literature I think it’s more important for students to study history and literature. These subjects help us understand the human race and feed our spirits and our imaginations. That’s more important than understanding how to split the atom or do algebra. People talk about a crisis of spirit in our country. They mean we’ve forgotten how to believe in and understand our own better natures. I think part of this is because we’ve become too excited about facts and not enough about things we can’t see and measure. Reading books from our own culture helps us understand our roots. Reading books from other cultures helps us understand the way other peole think and react to situations. It also teaches us that we are not so very different from others, and that leads to better relations between cultures. Reading literature also feeds our spirits. Even when the material we are reading is about terrible sadness and hardship, it still brings us in touch with our inner selves. It makes us think about issues other than new cars we want to drive or how much money we are making. Studying history gives us more information than just who died when or who won which war. It tells us about how human beings have related to each other at different periods in our development. It gives us the big picture. So often, when international crises occur, we only see the problem of the moment. We have no idea how something that happened twenty years ago was the beginning of this current problem. Without that information, we can have only a shallow understanding of what is going on in the world. Both history and literature are necessary subjects for students to prepare for more than just careers. These subjects prepare students for the way they want to live their lives. 18.All students should be required to study art and music I agree that all student should be requied to study art and music in the high school. I have read that young children who study art and music in the high shool do better in their other studies. That argument aside, we should study art and music for its sake alone. We should study art and music to learn more about ourselves, our culture, and our world. Both art and music feed students’imagination and help them express themselves. There’s a reason our ancestors in caves drew on the walls and make music with drums. Wanting to express ourselves is natural. It may not always be music others want to hear or art others will appreciate, but the activity itself is enjoyable. It should not matter if the end or result is not perfect. In the process, we learn what we like and dislike. Studying art and music means more than drawing or playing an instrument. Students usually go to art galleries and concerts, too. By studying the pictures on the musems’walls or by reading the program notes at a recital, students will learn what society had decided is worhy of praise. They learn what is important in their own culture. Students may also learn about other cultures by looking at art and listening to music from other countries. When they do that, they will see similarities with differences from their own. They will learn about what is important in other societies. Students will also learn about the art and music of other societies and will also learn how the art and music of other cultures affect their own. By studing art and music in the high school. Students begin to understand themselves as well as their own culture and other cultures. What could have more value than that? 19.The conflict between technological development and tranditional cultures Nowadays, conflicts between technological developments and tranditional cultures accelerate in a fierce way. More and more cries for saving the traditional cultures can be heard, while others urge a more rapid technological revolution in the new millenium. So, are technology and tradition so incompatible, or is there a balance point`in where we could reserve our ancestors’ legacy as well as keep on the hi-tech development? First, we must admit that conflict between technology and tradition do exist. Urbanization and modernization sweep across the world, changing our way of cultivating corns and wheat, denouning the old way of thinking, leaving those old-day arts and handicrafts only to be seen in museums. Despite the obvious benefits of a modern life, a considerable number people call for a rescue of traditonal culture both mathrially and spiritually. But, looking deeper into the matter, we will see that this conflict is inevitable, but not fatal to either technology or traditon. In one sense, the innovation of technology is actually part of the culture we had and have. Without the four great inventions of china, it is impossible for chinese to own such a splendid and colorful tradtional culture. Also it is the advanced technology that allows us to keep those ancient art crafts and masterpieces in such a good condition. Tradition is not something already dead and weak. It is facing a big challenge, and it will gain energy and renew itself through struggle. Good things in it shall survive and grow with the new power supplied by new technology. Peole should not be so pessimistic about the future of our traditional culture. Mourning too much for things that failed to survive in this challenging world will only hinder our pace to a more refined and developed life. 20.Some people enjoy change, and they look forward to new experience. Others like their lives to stay the same, and they do not change their usual habits. Compare these two approaches to life. Which approach do you prefer? Write a composition of about it. There are those who prefer things to stay the same, while there are others who prefer change. My personal preference is to establish a routine and stick to it, though this has not always been true of me. When I was younger, I was not a creature of habit. I enjoyed change. When summers came and I was free from the resonsibilities of school, I would travel, take off with friends at a moment’s notice, and make decisions from day to day. In this way, I had lots of new experiences, met new and interesting people, and learned a lot about life. These days, I enjoy sticking to a routine. This is partially due to the fact that I am a mother of two small childer. I find that their lives are happier if I don’t upset their schedules too much. For example, we give the children a bath every night at 8:00, put them in their pajamas, read them stories and put them to sleep by 9:00. there are times when this is inconvinient, but everyone in the household is happier if we stick to our routine. In addition, our friends know when to find us at home and when we are free. This makes visting easier. In conclusion, the type of person I am has changed with the circumstances of life. The obligations of my family force me to have a routine. When I was young, I enjoyed the suspense and adventure of living a crazy life. Now the stablity of a household routine suits me better. I think that while most people need a mimimum amount of security, those who depend on you often make a difference in your lifestyle. 21.fast food is rapidly becoming popular all over the world. Some people worry that this type of food is lacking in nutritional content. Furturemore, they also worry that the tradional cuisines will disappear if the trend toward fast food continues. How far do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Write a compositon of it. Traditonal food will never fade out The human race had entered a completely new stage in its history. We have just crossed the threshold of the 21st conture and the curtaion of the new millennium is slowly rising. With the steady growth in the country’s economy as well as living standards, the pace of people’s living is speeding up and a lot of changes have taken place in their daily life. More and more people prefer fast food to traditional food, but still, the place of traditional food can not be taken by fast food. Traditional food considered to be of high quality is still the main steam in people’s daily life. When people are entertaining their guests, especially their distinguished ones, they often choose the traditonal way and fast food is considered too cheap in terms ot standard. Secondary, some people maintain the view that traditional food is more delicious and more nourishing than fast food which is thought to be manufatured in a rough and slipshod way. And traditional food may be prepared in a lot more varieties, so that it may cater to different peole. Lastly, we cannot imagine that one can be brought up completely with fast food, which is a proof that it cannot blossom everywhere and in every situation. The boom of fast food industry shows that it is popular, especially with the young generation. With fast food, people may have more spare time to reduce the pressure from work and life. It can also free people from the burden of housework. All in all, it suits the tastes of some people. Though fast food has some advantages and it is popular to some extent, tradional food fill continue to play a more important role and will not fade out in people’s life. In conclusion, fast food can only be supplementary to traditional food. 22.do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; thay always want something more or something different. Write a composition about it. I think it is probably true that people are never satisfied with what they have. They always want something more or something different from what is theirs. This just seems to be part of our human nature. Look at a toddler. Give her a toy to play with and she’s happy----until she sees something else. Then she wants that other toy to play with. If she and her brother are each given a cookie, she will kook to see whose cookie is bigger. She will protest loudly if she thinks her brother is getting more. The grass is always greener some where else is an old expression, but it is a good expression of how many of us feel. We are always striving for a better job, a nicer place to live, a fancier car, or more expensive clothes. Part of this reaching for more and better is because we care about what other people think and want to impress them. Part of it is trying to make ourselves feel successful. But there’s also something in our nature that tells us we can do better and reach highter. This isn’t always a genative quality. There’s another saying: “a mans reach should excess his grasp. Or what’s a heaven for?” it is a good thing to be constantly pushing ourselves and looking for something difference, if we don’t try for more and more difference things, we begin to stagnate,like a pool that does not get any fresh water. The problem comes when we won’t let ourselves be satisfied with anything we have. If we have a comfortable life and still feel as if something is missing. Then we need to loo in ward. The something that’s missing may be in our spirit. 23.Living in university dormitories or apartments in the community? I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life.student’s needs change over four years, so their housing should too. Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy. Living in the dormitory also make a student feel more a part of the uniersity community. There are more opportunities for becoimg involved in university activities and networking with students and university administraction. Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Fingding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graducation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood. Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel. I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.
