The disadvantage (for example: the helpless situation while meeting difficulties)3. My own opinion (Do I prefer traveling alone? Why?)范文Nowadays, with the quick development of our living standard, traveling home or abroad has been more and more popular. Thus people have to make choices between traveling all alone or with their companions.There are both advantages and disadvantages of traveling alone. As for advantages, I think there could be fewer arguments on where to go and what to eat next. One may be freer during the travel than guiding by others all the day, and enjoy the spare time fully and quietly.As for disadvantages, one may meet difficulties while traveling and then find there is no one close enough to rely on.In my opinion, the advantages of traveling with family members or friends are certainly more than its disadvantages. As we all know, teenagers like us are so far not physically strong enough or financially independent to travel only by ourselves. As a matter of face, when we face helpless situation like losing our wallets or being lost in a strange place, things could turn out to be really dangerous for us to deal with. All in all, traveling alone has both advantages and disadvantages. But for teenagers, I think traveling with family members or friends is a better choice.举一反三1.

It is also a waste of money and space.3. Conclusion (Its dangerous to shop bargains one doesnt need.)范文Nowadays, more and more people are crazy about shopping bargains which they dont really need because they are so cheap that people can never resist the temptation of buying it. However, as far as I am concerned, this is really a waste of time, energy and money. Today Id like to say something about the danger of shopping bargains one doesnt need. As is known to us all, shopping bargains takes a very long time and you have to choose among a lot of options, which also needs much energy. Based on the face that our time and energy is limited, I believe we should make full use of them instead of spending them on shopping bargains. Secondly, in order to shop bargain, we have to spend a lot of money. Besides, we have to find some space to put those bargains. Therefore, our house may turn out to be in a mess since there are so many useless things.In a word, it is really dangerous to buy things which we dont need. We should save our time, energy, money and space to do something more useful, which can make our life colorful and meaningful.举一反三1. Its dangerous to play computer games.2.

My own opinion: the sincerity towards friendship is the most important, whether we have similar or different friends.范文Some like to make friends with who are different from themselves, while others prefer those who are similar to themselves. In my view, both have their advantages and disadvantages, my reasons as follows:Having friends whose characters and hobbies are similar to you can bring you many advantages. To begin with, similar friends are easy to get along with, and there are always something that all of you are familiar with. Because of the similarities, they can understand you better.Whats more, you will feel more confident and secure about yourself when you have a group of friends who share your opinions. This kind of self-confidence is the most important thing for us, I believe. Maybe that is why we like to make friends with those who are similar to us. On the other hand, how about making friends who are different from us? Yes, they may not have what you have, but they have what you dont have. A different friend is a mirror which can show your advantages and disadvantages. From him, you can find what you need to improve and you can learn what you ought to know.However, as for friends, no matter how similar or different they are, they have at least one similarity as well: the sincerity towards friendship. In a sincere friendship, you can always find hands ready to help whenever you need them. Just open your heart to your friends, whether they are similar or different, you may become the happiest person in the world!举一反三1. Advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.2.

Today Id like to address my speech on the topic of how to lead a healthy life.First of all, we should eat healthy food. A balanced diet includes various vegetables, different kinds of fruits, meat, grain and milk. Nowadays many people turn to eat fast food at lunch because it is very convenient and time-saving, but fast food is absolutely junk food and harmful to our health. We should eat less.Second, there is some truth in the proverb that “life lies in sports.”One should exercise for at least half an hour every day to keep fit. For example, my favorite sport is swimming. Every weekend I go swimming, despite the weather.Whats more, according to a scientific study, a person should sleep for 8 hours every day, and the best time for sleep is 11:00 in the evening to 7:00 in the morning. If we cannot get enough sleep, that will cause problems to our daily life.Health consists of physical health and mental health. In order to keep mentally healthy, one should always keep a good mood. When I feel sad or angry, I will listen to some light music, talk to my friends or family members, or even watch comedies.All in all, health is important to everyone and we should lead a healthy life.举一反三1.

Describe the authors opinion.2. Reasons: (1) many jobs need special skills; (2) enough education may probably make a person more intelligent; (3) well-educated people can impress their employers better.3. Conclusion: education is more important.范文I woke up one morning last week to watch a debate about which is important in finding a job, education or experience. Some suggested the idea that experience is more important. Others argued that education plays a more important role. I personally think education outweighs experience in finding a job. Id like to explain my idea is the following aspects.Firstly, in a more and more advanced world, many jobs need special skills, and thus a less educated person is unlikely to do the job efficiently. For example, a teacher is a highly specialized job which needs high education. An experienced but not well educated teacher will probably do his teaching poorly.Secondly, enough education makes a person more intelligent. Intelligence is both important and necessary for doing an excellent job. Employers like to employ those well-educated and intelligent candidates. And well-educated employees can get experience during working, then they will become more and more professional. For instance, jobs like accounting require good mathematical skill and high IQ. And after a period of training, a person who is good at math may do the job better.Thirdly, well-educated people can leave a good impression on their employers. A well-educated person may be a quick learner. This is very important in a competitive society. For example, a company has an important foreign customer who cant speak Chinese. So a person who can speak foreign languages may be preferred by his employer.In conclusion, education outweighs experience in finding a job, and one can gain working experience as time goes by.举一反三1.

Some people do nothing but sit on a couch eating crisps while watching TV and they become the so called “couch potato”. This is very bad for peoples health and their life. So people should not allow it to control their lives, the reasons are as follows:First, spending too much time watching TV does harm to ones eyes. It is especially harmful to teenagers eyesight, for they are still growing and having good eyesight is very useful for their study and future life. Tragically, more and more teenagers are short-sighted because of watching too much television.Second, there are some violence and unsuitable programs on TV which may cause bad influence on children. They are too small to tell bad from good, so they may do the same things as the “bad guys”on TV just for fun.Third, communication among family members and friends is an important part in our daily life. Due to TV, there is less and less time for them to communicate with each other, which might lead to misunderstanding finally.In a word, people shouldnt allow television to control their lives, since TV is only a way to know whats going on in the outside world. When people pay too much attention to it, and ignore other more important things in their lives, then life will become a tragedy.举一反三1.

Personally, I dont think its a good idea for them to do that. Let me explain myself in these aspects.First of all, too much extra information will appear along with the sporting events on television such as the logo, the brand name and posters of the tobacco companies. They have nothing to do with the program.Besides, with the promotion of tobacco, people in a wider range of area will get to know tobacco, which leads to more chances of buying cigarettes among people. It is known to us all that smoking is harmful to our health. Every year millions of people die of cancer caused by smoking.Moreover, the advertisement on tobacco will have a bad potential influence on children since the spend much time watching TV. As children are full of curiosity, they will definitely want to have a taste of it, even though they are taught not to, and this will possibly lead to addiction.In a word, I think tobacco companies shouldnt sponsor televised sporting events, as it causes bad influence on people and the whole society as well.举一反三1.

In my mind, traveling can enrich peoples experiences but reading makes a full man.2. Secondly, reading is much cheaper than traveling.3. Besides, it takes less time to read widely than traveling around the world.范文Today Id like to address my speech on the topic of reading is more important a way to learn the world than traveling. The reasons are follows:In the first place, traveling can enrich peoples experiences but reading makes a full man. People who read widely and extensively are more likely to be successful in the future, because he knows more, thinks deeper, and looks further than average people thanks to reading.Secondly, reading is much cheaper than traveling. It only costs you less than 50 yuan to buy a book about the culture or history of a country while traveling to it costs a lot more.Besides, it takes less time to read widely than traveling around the world. Suppose you have interest in the American culture but you cant afford the time to pay a visit to America, the most time-saving way is to buy a related book in a book shop and spend time reading it.In conclusion, I strongly believe that reading is more efficient and important to learn the world and enrich our knowledge than traveling. We can read every day whenever, wherever and whatever we like, but we cannot travel in this way. Do you agree with me?举一反三1. Experience is more important to find a jpb than academic degree?2.

Give your opinion: (1)the arrangements of classes are decided by many expert teachers and researchers; (2) compulsory classes can prepare us students to become all-around.3. Conclusion (todays hard work is tomorrows pay off)范文Since the earliest school was founded, students have been required to take classes. Commonly, a student in high school should take at least 10 different classes in on semester. And among these classes, there must be some which students find boring or useless. As a result, more and more students want to cut part of the classes. Some think it a good idea because students have the right to choose what to learn, but others hold the opposite opinion that students should learn knowledge in all fields so that they can become more competitive in their future life and work. As far as I am concerned, I agree with the later more.First of all, the arrangements of classes are decided by many education experts and researchers, who know the needs of students. The value of a class does not depend on the interest of students. For example, most students find mathematics is very boring and doesnt have much practical value in life. But we should realize mathematics educates student to think logically. When we grow up, we would find that science concept is actually very useful in everyday life, and that knowing science enables us to look at the world in a scientific way.Secondly, compulsory classes can prepare students to become all-around. If we only take classes we like, it will be impossible for us to know knowledge in al fields. Meanwhile, only when we are familiar with a wide range of knowledge can we success. We can learn from many celebrities, for example, Albe
