Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mobile Phone.doc

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mobile Phone （手机的利弊） Like everything else, mobile phones have both favorable and unfavorable aspects. First, its useful. As a wireless mobile telephone, its easy and handy to call wherever one goes and call the one however far away he is. Second, its convenient. Whenever one meets trouble or something urgent, one can make a call immediately. However, the mobile phone also has many disadvantages. First, its expensive to buy and costly to pay the bills. Second, its also easy to lose and costly to get it repaired. Third, its alleged the microwaves in it might do harm to peoples health. I believe its advantages will far outweigh disadvantages soon.A Day to Remember （难忘的一天） It was Sunday. Our teacher Mr. Zhu led us to a park nearby. Usually we go to the park to spend our holiday. But today we went there to take part in voluntary labor. We got there at nine oclock. Mr. Zhu divided us into three groups and then we began working. Group One was responsible to plant trees and water flowers. Group Two were busy collecting litter left by the tourists. I was in Group Three. We went to the childrens playground and cleaned all the equipment there. We worked very hard. At about eleven we finished work. We all were tired but very happy. I will never forget the day in my memoryA letter to a friend.Mar.16,2010Dear Li Hua,Its long time we havent seen each other. I miss you very much. Hows everything going on with you ?

When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys. Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection, and readiness to help. In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life. About Newspaper （报纸） I like newspapers. I read newspapers every day. We can learn not only international and national events but also many other things in the newspapers. For example, we can learn what is on TV or in the cinema. We can learn how to invest. We can learn how to save money by shopping in cheap places. We can learn where to travel. We can enjoy wonderful literature. We can learn how to cook delicious food. Newspapers have become part of our life. About Self-study （关于自学） As adult students in Shanghai TV University, self-study becomes very important. According to me, there are several pieces of tips of self-study.First, I always make a study plan in the beginning of a new semester. Second, preview every unit before the lesson. Third, try to finish the homework after class. Fourth, go over what I have learnt in class regularly at home. Without review, you will absolutely forget what youve learnt as quickly as possible. So reviewing is helpful in understanding and memorizing what youve learnt.Bad manner in public（公共场合的不礼貌行为） Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced beings living in a civilized society, bad manners can still be found here and there. For example, some cyclists run the red traffic lights, many passengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in the public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourist attractions, let alone spit on the street. In the cinema, some audience talk loudly on cell phones in front of others. Im strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behavior shows no respect at all to others; whats more, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun.city life and suburban life 城市生活和农村生活My view of the country life and town lifeWhen I am asked about my view of the country life and town life, I will prefer the country life.As we know, there is a big difference between town life and country life. In the country, everybody knows everybody else. They know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want help, you will always get it and you will be glad to help others.In a large town, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next door neighbor and you do not know his name or anything about him. People in town are often very lonely. This is because people are busy working at daytime and go to different places in the evenings and at weekends. One is sorry for old people living on their own. They could die in their homes and would not be discovered for weeks or even months. (168 words)Happy Things in My Childhood（童年趣事） It is impossible to recall all the past, but I can assure you that my childhood is a pleasant one to me. When I was in kindergarten, I was very popular with my playmates because of my naughtiness. Once I made an arrow, with which I hurt one of my playmates and received scolding from my mother afterwards. When I grew up, my father and mother dare not allow me to play outside. But sometimes when we had time they would bring me to the parks, movies and went swimming. I liked swimming very much. Thank them for teaching me swimming. I liked to play with my play games because I was only a boy. My mother often scolded me when I didnt get home after school but never too severely. I love my parents. I do think it is one of the best years in my whole life.Health and Eating Habit （健康和饮食习惯） Eating habit is closely related to health. In order to keep fit, we should pay more attention to our eating habits. My tips on good eating habits are as follows: First, dont eat too much or too little for each meal. Eating too much will cause overweight and eating too little is bad for health too. Second, dont eat between meals. Sometimes we like eating a little before the mealtime; as a result, we lose our appetite for lunch or dinner. Third, eat more vegetables and fruit every day. As the saying goes, “An apple a day makes the doctor away.” In my opinion, a good eating habit leads to a healthy life.Health and Wealth （健康和财富）Health and wealth, which one is more important? Different people have different opinions about it. Some think that wealth means everything. With a lot of money, they can buy a big house, an expensive car, beautiful clothes, and so on. On the other hand, some other people believe that health is more important than wealth. A healthy body is the foundation for a successful career and the base for getting wealth.For me, I think health is much more important than wealth; it is unwise to spend ones health buying his wealth.High School Life and College Life （高中生活和大学生活）High School Life is quite different from college life. In high school, students have to wear school uniform. Teachers always ask students to do many tasks in the classroom. In a college, students have to be responsible for themselves. They have more freedom than those in high school. For example, they put on the casual clothes instead of uniform. Tutors give them lectures and assignments, and they must spend more time studying by themselves in the library. That means students must manage themselves very well. Although I often recall my high school life, I like college life more.How I Spend My Spare Time（我是如何度过闲暇时间的） The most important duties of college students are studying. But besides studying, we should also enjoy a good life in our leisure time. There are many ways of spending the spare time. My ways are as follows. First of all, I spend about half of my leisure time is listening to music. In this way, I can thoroughly relax myself both physically and mentally; thus, I am able to study well in the future. Secondly, I consume part of my spare time by doing some exercises. Basketball is my favorite sports game. Jogging will keep me fit. Finally, reading is necessary. A good book can take me to a mysterious place where I have never been to. These are the major ways I spend my spare time. Of course, I wont forget Time is money. After my spare time, I will come to study at once.How to Keep Healthy 或者Ways to Keep Fit （保持身体健康） Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health, but how to keep healthy? First, it is necessary to take some exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder. Second, eat more fruits, vegetables and less meat. Third, getting rid of bad habits like smoking and drinking is also an important way to keep healthy. Smoking and alcohol drinking injure ones health a great deal, and therefore should be given up. If people follow these three ways of keeping fit, theyll greatly improve their health.How to Overcome Difficulties in My English Studies （如何克服英语学习中的困难） I have made a lot of improvements in English. The following is my way to overcome the difficulties. Everyday, I do half an hours morning reading to try to pronounce every word out. And I will then spend half an hour listening to English radios like BBC to correct my pronunciation. Because I have trouble in English grammar, I attend a full-time English class of STVU to study grammar. The teacher recommends me to buy a grammar bookAdvanced English Grammar. It helps me with my English study a lot. These above are what I have done to overcome my difficulties. Living in a big city （生活在大城市） In the eyes of many people, city life is attractive with all its advantages and conveniences. People can buy almost all kinds of things at supermarkets or shopping malls, dine out in good restaurants; and more important, they can have more educational opportunities. However, with the expansion of the city, more and more people are flowing into the big city. Now the traffic is heavier and heavier. The pollution problem is getting more and more serious. The living condition is worse and worse. Most people love the advantages of city life, but a big city also has its disadvantages.Living in a Big Family （生活在大家庭中） I live in a big family with 4 generations together.

He is a good student and always ready to help others. One day on his way to school, he saw a little girl crossing the road when a car nearly hit her. Just then Liu Kai rushed up to her and caught her by the arm. The little girl was saved. She told him where she lived, and he took her home. When Liu Kai hurried into the classroom, the teacher had already begun lesson. He told the teacher why he was late. He was then praised for what he had done.My Dream （我的梦想） I have a dream from the first time I sit in a carI want to drive. Driving is the most meaningful way to meet human beings desire of “faster”. Whats more, driving a car can take me to any place I want whether it rains, snows, blows or not. A smooth ride in a good car is enjoyable.

I love this feeling very much.My English Study / About English study （我的学习计划） English is always my favorite subject and I am good at English. I would like to share 4 good studying habits with you. First, remember 20 new words, and never give up. Second, go over grammar points I have learnt in English class regularly. Third, read an English article in China Daily every day. Fourth, write an English composition every week and ask teacher to revise that for me to improve the writing level. If you do things above, I am sure your English will also be improved.

So when we arrive home, a delicious meal is waiting for us. During the eating, we chat about the interesting things in the daytime. After the supper, we watch TV program a while and go to bed at 10 p.m.My Favorite Book 或者 The Book I Like Best （我最喜欢的书） My favorite book is “Dream of The Red Chamber”. The book tries to tell us that there are different kinds of love, only one kind which should be considered as True Love. In our life, we should marry the true love instead of wealth and good looks. From this book, we also get to know a part of the noble peoples life in Qing Dynasty and find some life philosophies from it. So this book is very instructive to people. We should learn more from this book as well as other books My Favorite Food （我最喜欢的食物） I like many different kinds of foods, among them, egg is my favorite. Egg contains a lot of essential nutrients needed by the human body. Eggs are oval shaped spheres with a light brown color. Egg is the basic ingredient to many dishes, like omelet and French toast. You can easily get eggs at any supermarket, and they are sold for a very cheap price too. Besides the cheap price, egg contains lots of nutrients and is a very good source of energy. In conclusion, egg is my favorite food. My Favorite Season我最喜欢的季节 There are four seasons in a year. But spring is my favorite. Spring is the most pleasant season of the year. The weather is usually warm. The sky is often clear and blue. This weather is perfect for outdoor activities. We often have picnics and go hiking. We also go cycling and camping when the weather is fine. In spring it often rains, too. I think its great fun to walk in the fine rain. Spring is pleasant.

Basketball requires speed, height and skills. All parts of my body are exercised in this sport. Furthermore, basketball is a sport more than just exercising. It is teamwork. No on
