1. Stop Playing Truant1. 现在很多大学里学生逃课现象严重；2. 分析这种做法的不智之处和危害性；3. 呼吁大学生要珍惜青春、对得起父母和国家的培养。Students playing truant is a growing phenomenon on campus. Unexcused absences from classes are very popular among college students, which has great negative impact on students, colleges, and the society.First, truants inevitably fall behind their peers academically, which may leads to their low self-esteem. Some of them may even drop out because they cannot catch up with other students. Second, low attendance may cause a drop in teaching quality, for teachers will only be less enthusiastic about teaching after finding that their classes are not popular. As a result, all the college education suffers. Finally, those who play truant are actually taking up precious resources for college education, which means that others who do want to receive college education are denied the chance. The waste of education resources is detrimental to the whole society.Therefore, we college students should treasure our university days and never play truant. Only by hard work and full use of our time can we pay back our parents cultivation and our motherlands expectation.play truant: 逃课；逃学；旷课detrimental：有害的；有损的2. My View on Green Olympics1. 2008年北京奥运会提出“绿色奥运”的主题；2. 如何理解“绿色奥运”；3. 如何支持“绿色奥运”。The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is approaching, and the Chinese government spares no efforts to make it a “Green Olympics” as stated in the bidding proposal.As a theme of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Green Olympics means to prepare it in accordance with the principle of sustainable development, which calls for the protection of environment, conservation of resources and maintenance of ecological balance.Some people hold the opinion that average citizens have limited role to play in this regard. Is it true? Of course not! We can give our due contributions to realize a “Green Olympics” by saving every drop of water, by setting the temperature of the air conditioner higher by 1 or 2 degrees at offices or at home or by reusing paper or any recyclable materials Little things can make a whole difference!“Green Olympics” is by no means just a slogan, and it starts with each and every one of Chinese people!3. A Letter to Computer Hackers1. 随着电脑的普及，电脑黑客们也越来越猖獗；2. 分析他们的所作所为给社会、他人带来的损失；3. 奉劝他们为了自己和他人能平安、和谐地生活与工作，不要再做不该做的事情了。Dear hackers,With the growing popularity of the Internet and online transactions, one of the universal issues that cause increasing concern is how to stay safe online. When it comes to cyber security, your name never fails to cause panic among netizens.When you, hackers, use your computers to gain unauthorized access to information on other peoples computers via the Internet, you are committing crimes. What you are engaged in will inevitably inflict great damage on your targets. On the one hand, with you breaking into computer systems run by banks, companies and even government department, some confidential documents or data will be at risk of being let out. On the other hand, your existence makes people doubt the safety of the Internet and hesitate to be involved in activities such as online business.In an age of computer technology and network, cyber security is what we are aiming at and responsible for. No matter how interested in hacking you have ever been, please convert your interest, for example, into safeguarding our Internet.Yours sincerely,XXXinflict sth. (on / upon): 予以（打击等）；使受痛苦；强加之于4. Please Be Punctual1. 不遵守时间有什么危害；2. 遵守时间是对自己和他人的尊敬，也会赢得他人的尊敬；3. 大学生应该从自身做起。With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, time is treasured by an increasing number of people. However, many young people attach little importance to punctuality, which, in my opinion, will give rise to many problems.First, you may impress other people as unreliable and dishonest. When you are late for a job interview, the boss may refuse to give you the chance since people tend to assume that if you cannot fulfill your promise, you have no sense of responsibility and can do nothing well. Second, others may think that you show no respect to them. If you are late for an appointment, the person you keep waiting may think that the appointment is of no importance to you and you are a person who is not considerate of others time.Therefore, university students should learn that punctuality is a good habit. Being punctual, you are showing respect to others and, in return, you will win others respect and trust.5. On Advertisement1. 广告在现代生活中随处可见；2. 广告的好处是3. 广告的坏处是As is known to all, angels and evils are poles apart. But is there anything that combines the two perfectly? Sure there is the advertisement.With the growing influence of mass media, advertising invades every aspect of our lives. Whenever we turn on the TV, look through a newspaper, open the mailbox, or surf the Internet, advertisements would immediately jump into our sight. As they make things so attractive, we often end up buying things that we do not really need. Advertising not only adds to the price of the goods, which harms the consumers interest, but also imposes a kind of materialistic value upon the audience.But that is only part of the story advertisements are informative as well as persuasive. They provide us with up-to-date information about the latest products. Some advertisements are so elegantly presented that they are enjoyable and some are so innovative or full of affection that we are inspired or even moved.No matter it is an evil or an angel, advertisement has become an indispensable part of our modern life.6. Please Observe Traffic Rules1. 据统计，13%住院治疗的人是因为车祸；2. 举例说明不少行人、骑车人、驾车人不遵守交通规则；3. 呼吁为了自身和他人的安全，请人人自觉遵守交通规则。According to the latest statistics, 13 percent of inpatients are hospitalized as a result of traffic accidents. The problem is getting worse with a rapid rise in the number of vehicles on the roads and increased violations of traffic rules by drivers, pedestrian and bicycle-riders.It is upsetting to see the continuing rampant commission of traffic offences and growing ignorance of traffic rules. Driving in wrong directions, making unsafe turns at will, running red lights, using the wrong lane to overtake and walking on motor lanes, just to name a few, are common daily practices. Moreover, the ignorance of traffic rules is so popular that one may find himself the only person to wait for the green light while the majority of people will go straight ahead even when the red light is glaring.That is a big problem in cities since a modern city needs not only skyscrapers, but also civilization in its people. If all people are willing to comply with traffic rules, our planet will be a much safer place to live on.7. On Energy Shortage1. 很多城市出现能源短缺现象；2. 分析原因；3. 提出建议。Energy shortage is a huge problem for modern society, and it has a negative impact on peoples daily life and economic development.Many elements account for energy shortage. First, rapid economic development prompts and increase of energy consumptions in different industries. Secondly, population growth leads to greater demands for household energy usage. Thirdly, people have yet to develop the sense of energy conservation. They just take the energy supply for granted, but they seldom think of a fact that maybe one day, money can just buy limited energy at an incredible high price.Actually we can do a lot to save energy in daily life. Turn off lights and fans when nobody is in the room; design buildings with the concept of energy saving; use public transit system instead of private cars in rush hours It is very easy for us to do these things as long as we have the sense of energy conservation, and we should do it right now!8. Online Games1. 近年来网络游戏越来越流行；2. 玩网络游戏的好处；3. 玩网络游戏的危害。Online games are becoming more and more popular in recent years. Almost everywhere you go, you will not fail to find people, both children and adults, keenly playing various kinds of online games.Why are online games so popular? There are some benefits of playing online games. In the first place, they are a kind of attractive and enjoyable entertainment, which will make us refreshed and energetic, and provide us with lots of fun and excitement. Secondly, they can improve our response ability, and make us attentive and patient. Thirdly, when several people are playing the same game, it helps to build up team spirit.However, online games could do us harm without our knowing it. First, violent online games such as killing fighting are not appropriate for children to play. Second, some of us, especially school students, become addicted to online games and waste too much time playing them. Indulging in online games at the expense of our work or study not only harms our health, but also adversely affects our work or school performance. Worse still, some people even go so far as to gamble in computer games.Obviously, only by doing away with the side effects of online games can we truly benefit from them.9. Should College Students Be Involved in business Activities?1. 现在有许多大学生参与商业活动；2. 对大学生是否应该参与商业活动有许多说法；3. 我的看法。In recent years, a new phenomenon has quietly sprung up college students participating in business activities.Inevitably, like many other newly-emerged things, this has also received praise and criticism.From my viewpoints, if the students involved in business activities can put what they have learned in school into practice or integrate their major with social activities, it is not only an important and valuable opportunity but also an invisible treasure to them. But if they are just obsessed with the activities, that is, their exclusive goal is to earn money or to gratify their vanity, it is not a wise action, and they may even incur some unexpected trouble. Whats more, if they neglect their study, then it is no doubt putting the cart before the horse. College students who are involved in business activities should make clear to themselves the purpose to do so, and make full use of the opportunity.10. A Schoolbag Lost1. 丢失书包的时间、地点、原因；2. 书包的外观和里面装有的代表性物品；3. 你的联系方式和你将给予送回书包者的感谢。A Schoolbag LostI carelessly left my schoolbag in classroom 811 on the morning of July 3rd, Saturday when I was in a hurry to send a classmate to hospital. I rushed back only to find it gone.It is a black canvas shoulder bag, which has a big pocket on the front with a “friend” logo on it. Open the bag, and one can find an interior patch pocket and a cell phone pocket. In the bag there were three textbooks, a Chinese-English dictionary, a bunch of keys and a wallet. Inside the wallet there is RMB225 yuan and an ID card, of which I am in urgent need to register for CET6. It will be highly appreciated if the finder can get in touch with me as soon as possible. My telephone number is 85488548, or you can find me in Room 210 of the 3rd dormitory building. Your kindness will pay off for sure.11. On University Towns1. 很多城市都兴建了或正在兴建大学城；2. 大学城的好处是3. 大学城的弊端是Nowadays, many cities in China either have university towns or are in the process of building one. It seems like that building university towns has become a trend.The advantages of university towns are quite obvious. They create a satisfactory study atmosphere, and enable universities in town to share faculties and facilities. In addition, they offer better living and study conditions for students as everything is newly established.A coin has two sides, and so do university towns. The disadvantages of them should not be neglected. On the one hand, university towns usually cover a large area of land, so they are usually built in outskirts. The closed-circuit life in university towns makes students live in a real ivory tower, which will have a negative impact on students. On the other hand, teachers need to commute a lot between university towns and old campuses, which drags down teaching efficiency.12. Qualities for Becoming Outstanding1. 无论从事什么，几乎人人都想脱颖而出，与众不同；2. 要想出色，需要具备一些基本素质，请列出三点并简要阐述；3. 我所具备的优秀素质。There is no doubt that most people want to stand out and achieve excellence in their life. Its commonly believed that the development of excellence requires some good qualities, of which I think the following three are essential.The first is wisdom. In my view, wisdom includes profound knowledge, rich life experience, keen insight and good judgment. A wise person has an easiest access to excellence. The second is a high self-expectation. Those who can be successful in some field usually set high life goals. Its easy to stay industrious when you have goals you are passionate about. In addition, the determination to fulfill ones goals is necessary. With wisdom and high expectations, one, once determined, will strive hard enough to achieve excellence.Admittedly, I am one of those who like the idea of excellence. And Im working hard to develop what may be excellent possibilities in myself. Thats why I strive for brilliant academic performance and keep aiming high.13. On Overseas Study1. 有人认为出国留学是个人发展的最佳选择；2. 也有人坚持在国内实现自己的理想；3. 我的看法。With the deepening of reform and opening-up of our country, many people dream of going abroad for further study. They insist that the modern research facilities, world famous professors and excellent environment in those foreign colleges and universities can help lay a perfect foundation for their future development.However, there are still many people who favor studying at home. They argue that studying abroad is too expensive and therefore doesnt pay. They also point out that there are no language and cultural barriers if they study in our country.Just as the old saying goes, “Every advantage has its disadvantage.” Both opinions are acceptable in some sense. If students have the chance and financial resources, they should seize the opportunity to go abroad and broaden their eyes. On the other hand, if conditions dont permit, they can pursue their studies I top universities at home. What counts is not the place where they study, but what they can learn.14. Cars and Air pollution1. 私家轿车越来越多，污染问题随之产生；2. 解决的方法是;3. 我对这种现象的想法。Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death.One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Shanghai, some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars to completely replace the traditional ones.Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not buy private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly.On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and the environmentalists.15. Protect Your Eyes. Protect Your Health1. 现代人的视力正在受到严重威胁；2. 其实视力只是我们健康的一部份；3. 保护视力，保护健康要从孩子开始。Look around. How many people are wearing glasses? Half, or even more. Dont forget, many are wearing contact lenses.Undeniably, more people are suffering from poor eyesight. Why? Early in life, kids amuse themselves in front of the TV set. Later on, they spend the daytime reading books at school and do their heavy load of homework at night. Soon, they begin starting at the flickering screen of computers hours upon hours. Upon reflection, we can hardly think out many professions that do not require use of computers nowadays.Poor eyesight is only one problem with our health. It indicates that we need to protect our overall health. So, lets do some sports to amuse ourselves instead of the watching TV or playing the computer in the evening. This will lessen the burden of our eyes as well as strengthen our body.Since our eyes begin to be hurt ever since childhood, lets start the health-protection movement with the children.16. My Opinion on Campus Love1. Some people are strongly against campus love.2. Some people accept it.3. My view.Campus love isnt a newly-born phenomenon. Some people are strongly against it while some others think its natural. I dont advocate campus love for the following reasons.First of all, undergraduates are neither fully psychologically mature nor able to assume the responsibility, especially freshmen and sophomores. Second, they may indulge in it, thus dilapidating their study, which isnt rare. Third, some just take advantage of it to kill time, to avoid boredom and to have someone keep company. Whats more, some change dating “partners” frequently, holding a paradox opinion that they could show off their charm or accumulate experience, but more often than not, they would leave a bad impression, such as lacking the sense of responsibility, on other, especially their former sweethearts. Last, the proportion of successful couples is too low. The overwhelming majority reach the same end parting just before graduation, forced by reality.So, look before you leap. Discard campus love and make a wiser decision after graduation.17. To Be a Small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond?1. 在大企业工作的特点；2. 在小企业工作的特点；3. 我的选择。Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish in a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm.With the former, you
