学生用：Other Topics：1. The Relationship between Wealth and Happiness1. 财富是人们共同的追求 2. 财富与幸福的关系 3. 结论Wealth has always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them try to acquire wealth by means of honest labor. Their efforts contribute to the welfare of the society and at the same time to the accumulation of their wealth, and hence to their happiness.There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness, especially in the modern society. Various kinds of up-to-date household appliances, latest fashions and recreations make their appearance with each passing day. All this makes our life more comfortable and colorful. Therefore, without money we cannot turn admiration into reality.Wealth, however, can also lead to disasters, if we have an inappropriate approach to it. Besides, a person may lose his reason and go astray if he intends only to seek wealth and indulges himself in leading a luxurious life. For example, there are some government officials who take advantage of their positions to take bribes from the people turning to them for help. Obviously, wealth may bring us disasters if we dont take a proper attitude to it.In my opinion, on no account can we equate happiness with wealth. I also believe that one should never reckon only on wealth to achieve happiness.2. Foreign Fast Food1. 洋快餐在中国受欢迎的现象 2. 洋快餐在中国受欢迎的原因 3. 洋快餐存在的问题Sample Writing：Foreign fast food, like KFC and McDonald, is very popular nowadays. It is food that has already been prepared, such as hamburgers, fried chicken and potato chips. With the fast living pace, foreign fast food, which is easy to get and eat, becomes more and more welcome among people. People like to buy foreign fast food because of its convenience. It saves people time and energy. You can either eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park.

It is more expensive than the Chinese fast food and it has less nutritive value than Chinese food.

On Advertisements1 人们对于广告的不同看法2 在你看来当今广告业存在哪些问题3 应该如何去解决这些问题People hold different attitudes towards advertisements. Some think that advertisements give up-to-date information about products. On the other hand, there are still some other people who believe that advertisements do not give us any useful information but try to persuade us to buy the things without which we can still live happily. There are even a large proportion of people who hate advertisements, especially TV advertisements because TV advertisements often interrupt the wonderful programs they are enjoying.As far as I am concerned, I think although advertisements enable us to make decisions quickly, sometimes they cause lots of troubles. For example, some advertisers use false advertisements to cheat customers, in which case, customers will suffer a great deal and even lose their lives. Sometimes, the products advertised are actually not so good as the advertisements claim to be. Moreover, some advertisements are vulgar in both pictures and words, and therefore have negative impacts on young people. There are still some other advertisements which mislead people because they do not portray the reality but give us unrealistic expectations.Its necessary for the government to make a law on advertising to set the standard for advertisements to get released. Some supervisory institutions should also be established to supervise advertisers in case they give false advertisements to trap customers.4. How to Reduce Stress1. 现代社会人们的压力与日俱增2. 压力产生的原因 3. 减少压力的办法With the constantly changing and quickening pace of modern life, many people are used to rushing through their life. People have learned to take it for granted that the stress is and will be increasing all the time. A certain degree of stress can promote our study and work, but too much stress is certainly harmful, and sometimes may even cause serious mental and physical problems. Stress can come from every direction. For instance, it can come from sorts of competition with other people. It can come when we have too many things to do and too little time to do it. It can also come when we do not have enough money to pay for what we want. It can also come when we lack confidence and admire others.There are many ways to help solve this problem, but the following may be the most effective. First, we should make a practical judgment on our own ability and do what we can do. Dont set a goal that is too high because there are many things in the world that are beyond our reach. Second, we should learn to be considerate and tolerant. Do not try to change other people or other things. Everything has its own way in the world. Third, wed better be not too keen on the material things. If you try to “keep up with the Joneses”, you burden yourself with stress and can walk no longer on the road to happiness. Do not harbor any jealousy, vanity, or resentment to others. Be satisfied with what we have. Finally, we should keep frequent communication with our relatives and friends. Talk with them what we want and think of. Share with them our happiness and misery. This all will help us to feel better.These are not necessarily the only ways to deal with stress, and it is my hope that everyone can free from stress, both mentally and physically, and live a relaxed happy life.5. On Second Major of Universities1 有许多学校都开设了第二专业供学生选择2 学生选择二专的目的多种多样3 我个人的看法是Nowadays, many universities and colleges offer various second majors to students to choose from, for instance, higher mathematics for those who are interested in math competitions; and English for those who devote themselves to the language development, and so on. Students choose different second majors for different purposes. Some students want to further upgrade themselves in this field. They think they can learn much knowledge and skills from the course even though it might not be much fun. Some simply choose what they like or find a way to kill their spare time. They dont care what is gained. And still others choose the course just because the teacher is well-known, so they can touch the honor and learn something under the guidance of the great masters. As far as Im concerned, my second major this term is “Advanced Spoken English”. The reason why I chose it is that Im extremely interested in English, especially spoken. I think having a good command of spoken English is a skill indispensable to job-hunting today. Ive worked hard in this course and benefited a lot from it as well. 6. On Social Security1 社会治安一直是我们关心的话题2目前的社会治安状况还不容乐观3. 我的建议和看法Social security has long been the great concern of different levels of our government and the public, for the situation of social security will have an enormous impact on our work, study and life both directly and indirectly. We can not imagine how we can work, study and live normally under turbulent circumstances. Hence the significance of social security can never be overstated.As a matter of fact, the present situation of social security is far from being satisfactory although we have taken various measures to protect people, institutions, etc. from being attacked. Almost every day we read or hear the news of robberies, murders, kidnappings, or even assassinations happening in different parts of the world. What is worse is that new crimes are committed with the development of high technology, that is, computer crimes. As far as Im concerned, I think that our government should enforce the laws and regulations. In the meantime, we should punish the criminals more severely and radically. The most important thing is to educate people to comply with the laws and foster a sense of civilization in their minds. Only in this way can we have a secure society and work, study and live soundly. 7. On Keeping Pets1. 养宠物越来越流行2. 人们养宠物的原因是3. 养宠物产生的问题 Nowadays, there seems to be a fever of keeping pets in our society. Along the streets towards evening, people in causal wear can be seen taking a stroll leisurely, not for themselves but for their dear pets. At social gatherings, gossips revolve around experience on taking care of pets. One is not surprised if a pet costs as high as one annual earnings. People keep pets for good reasons. First, pets provide company. Considered human companions, pets make us happy and far from lonely. Besides, pets give us a sense of being important and needed because they depend on us for home, food and drink. Moreover, a pet in a family keeps us in touch with the more natural, animal world. Paradoxically, some people keep pets as suggesting their good social status. Some problems cannot be ignored. The growing number of pets may cause serious hygiene problems. So pet-owners should be responsible for a clean neighborhood. In many public places pets should be forbidden to enter in case they spread disease and interfere with other people. 8. Hobbies1 业余爱好会给人们带来益处2 业余爱好的种类繁多，很难说哪一种更好3 培养业余爱好需要注意的问题 Hobbies are leisure-time interest or activity taken up for pleasure. A good hobby can broaden our horizon, enhance our knowledge and help us develop a certain kind of skill. It relieves us of fatigue, relaxes our mind, and enlivens our life. By pursuing a good hobby, we keep a healthy body and a sunny character. There are various hobbies in everyday life. Some people enjoy collecting stamps or coins. Some like to play chess or go fishing. Knitting, raising birds, growing flowers and keeping company with pets also appeal to many people. As one mans meat is another mans poison, it is hard to tell that this hobby is preferable to that one. The hobby we choose must be sound. Besides, it must suit the amount of time and money we can afford. That is because we have only limited spare time, and we do not want the hobby to bring a financial burden to us. Therefore, the premise to cultivate a hobby is that it should not distract us from our normal study, work and living.9. Scores or Competence1. 强调“分数”还是“能力”，这是社会和学校争执不休的话题2. 我的观点是In the midst of our education reform, one issue which has been heatedly discussed is “How to evaluate a student?”, or “What is the criteria of evaluating a good student?” It seems that this is the controversy among college teachers and students and in our modern society.It has long been a common practice that our students are judged by marks rather than by competence in school just as people are judged by their diplomas in the job market, or scientists are judged by their discoveries and inventions in their scientific researches. This is mainly because we students have long been taught to attach great importance to learning from textbooks. Hence, we put high marks, no matter how we get them, in the first place, thus ignoring the development of practical competence in solving realistic problems. As far as I am concerned, I think it is indispensable that we work hard at all the required subjects but, at the same time, we shall also train ourselves to be competent in coping with various practical problems. We have to apply our knowledge to practice and gain valuable experience as much as possible in order to adapt ourselves to the future world- society. In conclusion, high marks can not replace competence and real competence can only be acquired through practice. 10. We Need to Broaden Our Knowledge1. 科学技术是社会发展所必不可少的2. 社会科学和自然科学相互渗透3. 现代大学生需要广博的知识 Our civilization is mainly attributed to the fruits of science and technology. In the history, every scientific and technological revolution set up an immense surge in the society, pumping the productive force to a higher level. At present, we are living in the epoch of information, which is addressed as the Fourth Wave. The development of our society is much more dependent on new science and technology than ever before, and it is hard to imagine what our way of life would be like without them. Social science, on the other hand, constructs the spiritual buildings of human beings. It makes our life more diverse and meaningful. Natural science, no matter how advanced, cannot develop further without the direction of philosophy and ethics, two chief branches of social science. In modern society, the relationship between natural science and social science has become much closer. A great number of new subjects, which are actually derived from both natural and social science, has come into existence and enrich the sea of human knowledge greatly. Therefore, as college students, we should learn any kind of knowledge as much as possible, not only in order to widen our horizon but to meet the requirements of modern society. We should make every effort to become erudite and versatile students, so that we can achieve our goals fully and make as many contributions to our developing country and the progress of the civilization of human beings. 六级作文 11. My View on the Negative Effects of Some AdvertisementsNowadays, advertisements are very common in our everyday life. Advertising is really an effective method for manufacturers to make their products known to the public. However, there are some business advertisements which bring harmful effects.In order to make more profit, some manufacturers exaggerate their products functions in the advertisements. That is, the product does not live up to the standard advertised and the consumers will find themselves fooled. In some cases, it may lead to more serious consequences. For instance, an exaggerated or even non-existing function of a medicine will perhaps endanger the patients life. In my opinion, advertisements on the whole are good. But we should not neglect the negative effects of those bad advertisements. The government should firmly ban the advertisements with negative effects before they are released.12. My View On Job-Hopping “You resigned again?! What is your new job?” Job-hopping has become a hot topic among people, especially the young, and heated debates focus on it, as a result. Many people are inclined to do one job in their lives. In their opinions, people who change their job frequently are superficial and tactless. They believe that the only way to success is to stick to one job, for constant practice in a professional field helps make an expert.But there are still many people who wont agree. They argue that change means progress. If youre not satisfied with your present job, of course you have the right to replace it with a more challenging and better paid one. Every change is a step to further success. This idea may be the reason why they change their jobs so often. For my part, I think it reasonable to change your job if you have a better opportunity. But once you have found a position where you can fully display your ability, youd better settle down and put your whole heart into in. Only in this way can you get the true joy of achieving your goals. 13. My View on Lucky Numbers My friend Mary was born on June 13, 1977. She is always dissatisfied with her birthday because 13 is an “evil” number. There are a lot of people who are convinced that good numbers bring good luck and bad numbers bring disasters. Hence, 13, 4 and other so called “evil” numbers are wiped off from cards, lists, menus, etc. Even in some cities, there is no No. 13 bus or No. 13 Street. I dont think numbers have anything to do with luck. Numbers were created for counting. There is no relationship between a certain number and ones fate. There are many people who succeed in spite of “close relationship” to bad numbers. Meanwhile, there are also a lot of people, who should have been blessed by “lucky numbers, involved in accidents. Take my friend Mary for example: she achieved a good study at the nations most prestigious university and later gained a good reputation in her career. Her luck is not a bit damaged by her “bad” birthday. In a word, numbers are numbers. They stand for nothing but quantity. Numbers have nothing to do with luck. 14. It Pays to Be Honest Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake products to their consumers; some students cheat on exams. Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers wont buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people again a lot. Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as wall. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later. It a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that should be honest. 15. Reduce Waste on Campus1 目前有些校园内浪费现象严重2 浪费的危害3. 从我做起，杜绝浪费。Nowadays, waste is quite prevalent and serious on campus. Food is thrown away simply because it doesnt taste good. Newspapers and magazines are discarded, because they have been read. What is worse, students seem to be quite accustomed to such waste and dont have a feeling of guilt.Waste can do much harm to both our society and individuals. Our country
