1. Failure is the Mother of Success In one way of thinking, failure is what often happens. For some objective or subjective reasons, we often have to face failure in a complex society. No one can avoid failure in one or another aspect of daily life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. It makes us think a lot. We learn the Lessons and accumulate the experience, and then we try to get access to the possible solution. Failure can become treasures. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. In my opinion, failure isnt always a bad thing. We will have a more realistic view about ourselves and the world around us. As people often say, failure is the mother if success. A temporary loser dose not necessarily mean a permanent loser. Grasping opportunity, everyone can succeed with his or her efforts.2. Change in the Ways People Spent Their Holidays The ways people spent their holidays have changed greatly. In 2005, 40% of people spent their holiday at home, the figure dropping to 9% in 2010. It seemed that people were becoming more and more mobile, and they wanted to explore entertainment in the outside world. The seaside still had its attraction to people. The rate dropped slightly from 38% in 2005 to 31% in 2010. But there might be a further decrease in the future because of the pollution. The table shows that a great number of people spent their holidays traveling abroad. The rate in 2010 doubled as compared with 2005. With the increase of income, more and more people could afford and would go abroad to spend their holidays. The table also shows another tendency: the rate of camping was rising from 10% in 2005 to 36% in 2010. The reason may be that the real beauty of nature is being rediscovered, and people are getting more and more eager to return to nature.3. Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus It is indispensable for college students to know what is going on outside the campus. Thats because in this “Information Era” the society is developing at such a high speed that we should keep pace with the progress of the outside world. Hence, without knowledge of the outside world, it will be very hard for us to secure satisfying job after graduation; it will be more difficult for us to succeed in the fierce competition. How to get closer to the outside world? Firstly, we should be well-informed about what is happening around us with the aid of mass media: radios, televisions, newspapers, the Internet, and so forth. Besides, we should do some practical social services so as to cultivate our social skills, broaden our eyesight and enrich our social experience. As far as Im concerned, I plan to know the outside world in two ways; study first to have a good command of knowledge. Next, I intend to get a part-time job to know more about the outside world. Thus, I can apply the knowledge that I have learned at campus to the practical work, witch will be helpful in my future career.4. On a Harmonious Dormitory Life Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory will be disturbed in one way or another. For example, some members listen to music late into the night and make those light sleepers restless. Worse still, the smell of some students socks is powerful enough to drive other members out of the room. As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together. In contrast, an unharmonious life will be depressing and counterproductive. There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, youll just have to learn to tolerate each other and coexist. Thirdly, youll have to share with each other and make good friends. In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the purpose of good study and good life.5. 给小孩零用钱的利与弊( the advantages and disadvantages of giving children pocket money)With the development of our modern society, peoples living conditions become much more comfortable. But because of the intense competition, parents have less time to consider childrens needs in every aspect. One method to solve this contradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket money is useful to children. But whether the children are thoughtful enough to make correct use of the money is under debate. There are two viewpoints about the pocket money. Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious. Others think it will not lead to such a disadvantage. In my opinion, both of them are partially reasonable.Some people believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will give children certain freedom to select what they want and make them aware of the rules of the equivalent exchange. As time is precious to parents, giving pocket money to children helps them to save time spent in shopping and use it in busy working and money earning.Others insist that there are undoubtedly some disadvantages in giving pocket money. First, young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately. They possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents. Some parents cosset their children and always give them a large mount of pocket money, which makes children become more and more prodigal. Second, since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines.Judging these two viewpoints mentioned above, I think that parents should give their children pocket money. But there are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be limited; parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them; for a costly thing, parents themselves should take children to buy it. With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.6. How to eliminate cheating on campus? Nowadays, instead of listening attentively in class and working hard after class, a number of students adopt all kinds of dishonest methods to get high scores in examinations, it has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society. To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind, it calls for the efforts from all sides. First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behavior in the examinations, from whispering, copying, and receiving answers via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely punished with no excepting. Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully. Last but not least, young students, the future to despise and fight against dishonest behaviors throughout their life. Only when all of us join in the efforts eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future. 7. A course that has impressed me most in college There are a variety of courses in universities which provide us students with many options to broaden and enrich our knowledge. It goes without saying that students really benefit a lot from the courses in many respects. As far as I am concerned, I do harvest a lot from the courses I choose. This year as a junior student, I choose the course in British Literature, which impresses me most. In the first place, I am deeply charmed by the scholarly image of the professor of this course. Enlightened by his lectures, I am on the threshold of the foreign literature. In the second place, my vision is definitely broadened by this course. As an English lover, gaining some knowledge of English. Last but not least, this course will help me get accustomed to this foreign country when I go abroad. In general, I am satisfied with the various courses offered by my university. But it is the arts that give me the most help to perfect my knowledge system, especially the British Literature.8. My view on American TV dramasNowadays, American TV dramas are gaining an increasing popularity among the young Chinese. More and more people, especially the English learners, are keen on them. Some people hold the opinion that watching American TV dramas can enhance their learning of English. By contrast, some other people dont think so. They consider that watching American TV dramas has nothing to do with learning, but is a waste of time. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the former opinion. Instead of learning English in a dull way, I would rather master it through an easy way. In addition, by watching American TV dramas we can get access to not only different cultures but also native English expressions which are key factors to having a good command of English. 9. Should student take physical exercise? Nowadays who are in favor of taking physical exercise maintain that college students as to whether they should take physical exercise. Opinions on this issue vary from student to student. Those who are in favor of taking physical exercise maintain that college students can benefit a lot from it. First of all, taking physical exercise can help students build up their strength and keep them energetic. Besides, it is an effective way to relieve pressure and keep a pleasant mood. Moreover, by doing physical activities, students can have chances to communicate with others, which can help them improve their social skills. However, some college students do not like to do sports activities. They argue that physical exercise is not a necessary part of college life. In their opinion, those activities can do nothing but waste their time. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the former idea. Indeed, it is very unwise of college students to keep their distance form physical exercise which can do good to them. To conclude, physical exercise is beneficial to every college student, and therefore do not hesitate to do physical activities.10. The most beneficial campus activity Every university offers numerous kinds of activities to enrich students extracurricular life. As one of the young college students, I have benefited a lot from all of these well-organized activities, but the one impressing me most is the debate competition that I took part in last year. That was a debate competition among different majors and the topic was theoretical knowledge versus practice. For me, what matters is not the result of the competition, but the process of gathering background information and practicing debate. Also, no individual can accomplish the challenging task all by himself or herself, so joint efforts have played a significant role in winning the competition. Team spirit and the sense of cooperation have been improved a lot and I believe these are more precious than winning or losing. To be brief, we should participate in more campus activities, through which no only can we get a better understanding of what we have learnt before, but also we can make new friends and discover our interests.1. 近年来，在节日期间患各种疾病的人越来越多2. 节日病的诱因3. 我的建议11. Holiday excess For the majority of people , holidays mean opportunities to say goodbye to routine lives, to have a good rest and to get together with families and friends and friends. However, in recent years, more people are suffering holiday excess during holiday seasons. Three factors should be responsible for this phenomenon. First and foremost , many people would indulge themselves in entertainments such as mahjong or poker all night long in vacation.

Nowadays, college graduates are faced with a tight job market, so many people think that new graduates should lower their job expectations. After all, it is more practical for them to accept a worse-than=expected offer than remain jobless after graduating. Furthermore, whatever jobs new graduates get, they can obtain valuable working experience and confidence in more demanding jobs in the future. However, some others argue that new graduates will lose ground if they lower job expectations. They believe that a good beginning is half the battle. In this sense, new graduates should start their careers from a relatively high point. Personally, I side with the former opinion. It is an indisputable reality that todays university students are losing their shine , so degrees and diplomas cannot guarantee a new graduates success any longer. lowering job expectations presents a more positive approach to job hunting for new graduates. 1. 现在很多人一遇到问题就上网搜答案2. 这种现象很可能产生的影响3. 我的看法13. Should we totally turn to the internet Nowadays, as computers are finding their way into every household, more people have access to the internet. In fact , the internet has become such an indispensable source of information that many people totally turn to it for solution whenever a problem. Admittedly, the internet is of great use in setting certain problems. However, over-reliance on it has potential negative effects. To begin with, people obsessed with it are likely to become internet addicts, which severely affects their life. Secondly the information available on the internet is not completely accurate, and the false information is definitely misleading. Last but not least, with the internet, people tend to neglect reference books and become too lazy to solve problems on their own. Personally, I agree that the internet does bring convenience to us, yet its negative effects are also evident. Therefore , we should use it moderately and wisely. After all, we still need other sources of information in pursuing knowledge.出国留学中文提示句:近年来,出国留学很时兴出国留学的利弊出国留学利大于弊,它是可取的14. Studying AbroadIn recent years, studying abroad has flourished.
