Topic 1My View on the Booming Cultural FestivalsIn recent years, holding cultural festivals becomes a nation-wide fashion trend. From Hangzhou Tea Culture Festival, Qingdao Beer Festival to Wuqiao Acrobatics Festival and Qufu Confucius Cultural Festival，a variety of cultural festivals boom all around the country. No one can deny the benefits of those cultural festivals, some of which do attract more tourists and investors, and bring huge profits to local residents. Moreover, cultural festivals can exhibit the unique cultural charm. For example, it is through many cultural festivals that plenty of unique Chinese traditional culture is introduced to the outside world. But there are some people worrying about the craze about holding cultural festivals.They suggest that it should be the time to cool down this overheating trend. First, some local governments overestimate the importance of cultural projects in the economic growth. They invest a lot in holding festivals and expect much more revenue.At the same time,the constructions of infrastructure are overlooked. Whats worse, some cultural festivals dont have any local charm at all, the exhibition of which is absolutely wasting time and money.As far as Im concerned，we should not cool down the festival trend but our mind. A calm mind and wise plan can bring us more successful cultural festivals.Topic 2On Job-hunting PrioritiesWhen a graduate hunts for a job, he has to take the priority issue ofa few important factors into consideration,such as the pay,the specific field,and the location. Graduates give priority to different elements.Some graduates think the pay should take the first place,since they have been spending the money of the family all the time,and its time to do something as the reward to other family members.Besides,a high pay usually means a relatively high position in the company.Some would take their major as the No.1 element,or it would be a big waste of what they have learned in college.Meanwhile,the major chosen for college most of the time reflects their interest and preference.Still others offer the pride of place to the location of the job.They believe big cities like Beijing or Shanghai will provide more opportunities,or a place close to hometown will furnish more convenience between the graduate and his family since most families now have one child only. As to me,the ideal is the three elements combined together.But when I have to make a choice,I would pick up the best choice close to my family since“East,west,home is the best”.Topic 3My View on Postgraduate CrazeFor many college students,at the beginning of each fall semester,they will repeatedly be haunted by pamphlet ad distributors employed by various postgraduate tutoring schools.Those postgraduate tutoring ads are indicative of the popularity of college students applying to take the entrance examination for postgraduates. Undoubtedly, these postgraduate applicants have many concerns.Firstly,due to the fierce competition in the job market,many college graduates believe postgraduate degree holders will have a competitive edge in the job market.Secondly,as many college students are not satisfied with their current degree education,they want to pursue their studies in prestigious universities.In addition,many white collar workers decide to quit jobsand study in college again,which increases the boom of masters degree pursuit. However,a masters degree is not a guarantee of a decent job.As the number of graduates with a masters degree increases,many will have difficulty in finding their ideal jobs after investing so much time,energy and money.Topic 4Limiting the Use of Private CarsAs is known to all, Beijing is an international metropolis,which has witnessed the rapid growth of automobile cars in recent years. Therefore, the government has taken some measures to limit the use of private cars. The even-odd rule is such a tentative method. At the present time, people are restricted to drive private cars during weekdays accroding to the last number of their license plate.Undoubtedly, it brings about many benefits. Firstly, it is estimated that there are more than 0.25 million private car being cut on the road every day during the weekdays, which largely eases the traffic jam. Secondly, we can see clearly that the air quality has been improved a lot, and we can see the blue sky more in Beijing. In addition, as limiting the use of private cars, more people choose to work or go out by bus or by subway,which accelerates the development of public transportation.As for me, I go along with these measures. For many people, its a good chance to do some exercises to keep healthy and to communicate with others. Topic 5On Food Safety IssuesWhile it is true that there is a decline in the number of cases relating to adulterated foods and substandard foods ,the safety of food remains a serious problem in this industry.Food-born diseases are largely responsible for high levels of sickness and mortality in the general public,particularly for infants, children,and the elderly.There are various reasons for this heart-breaking fact.In my opinion,the responsibility goes for the most part to the food producers especially those who fail to meet safety standards.In order to make the most profit, some food producers may even intentionally use such chemicals as pesticides,animal drugs,etc.,during manufacturing and processing just to make food look or taste good.At the same time,the government departments responsible for quality control fail to fulfill their duties,which makes the danger flow into the market.Besides,the media actually cheat the customersin their deliberate efforts to advertise the problematic food. To make sure the food we eat is safe,the supervision of food production should be highly responsible.Whats more,it is important for the governmentto drastically increase legal penalties on those who neglect food safety regulations.Nevertheless,the general public should be more aware that a healthy life relies on the safety of food .Topic 6How to Deal with Cultural Differences?People from different countries speak different languages,keep different value systems, and have different ways of looking on things,which generates cultural differences,with which cultural shock is born.Different cultures may have different ways of responding to things.Thus, many everyday misunderstandings and irritations among people of different countries or races lie at the root of failure to recognize cultural differences.For example, eye contact may convey sincerity and attentiveness in some oriental cultures, but too much eye contact may embarrass people from some western cultures. As a result, those who are uninformed about cultural differences may have communicating difficulty with their friends or business associates from other cultures. Sometimes it is upsetting to find people who behave differently from us. Some people may even become nervous and feel uneasy when they have to contact people from different cultures.To deal with cultural differences, first, we should have respect for other cultures and avoid unintentionally offending others by learning the basic characteristics of other cultures. Second, if there is misunderstanding, take time to explain customs of our own culture to the foreign friends or business associates. Dont panic when some cultures in a foreign country catch you off your guard, just keep calm. Topic 7My View on Drunken DrivingIt is shocking to notice that tragic accidents caused by drunken driving have occurred with frequency recently.Four people were killed and one was seriously injured in Chengdu because of a young driver who had just been to a birthday party and got totally intoxicated with too much alcohol.How can we make a quick and effective stop tothese unimaginable calamities? Some people claim that severe punishment,even the extreme penalty,will work effectively,since people seem to learn more through the similar bitter cases having previously happened; others believe that more importanceshould be attached to education,and drunken driving should be an essential part of life education for the public.These suggestions do make sense and are actually in effect in many nations at present.In my opinion,it is more important to take measures to avoid such occurrences.And the most important is the self-consciousness about potential dangers to life of drunken driving.Only when one is aware that his life is being threatened would he try to avoid for self-protectionTopic 8Buying and Selling Stocks as a StudentAt present,there are many students engaged in buying and selling stocks.Some of them are equipped with updated device so as to get the latest information and seize golden chances for transaction Peoples opinions vary on this issue.The reasons why some people oppose it are as follows.For one thing,students have tosacrifice their learning hours to focus on stocks,only to fail in exams.For another,students are too inexperienced to make wise investment.Some spend their tuition on stocks.If they fail,they will be under massive financial pressure.But then,supporters believe that stock exchange is a good way to improve students ability to manage money as well as a precious chance to put theory into practice. To my mind,in a world of opportunities and challenges,the stock exchange should not be a forbidden place for college students.Meanwhile,what they must keep in mind is learning first,for knowledge is most valuable.Topic 9College Students Social ResponsibilitiesIf you Google“the 71st anniversary ofthe Nanjing Massacre”(in Chinese) on the Internet you will be impressed by the video show of a girls special commemoration.After watching the video,I was wondering where college students were.Taking into consideration their indifferenceto other historic events such as the May 4 Movement,we can conclude that college students lack the due social responsibility.However,we should not simply criticize their indifference,and analysis should be made to reckon with underlying reasons.Firstly,college students are imposed excessive pressure by the job market.They have to pay more attention to their studies.Secondly,many students believe that the history has already been borne in mind,and it is unnecessary to commemorate them each year.For them,it is better to internalize the humiliated history and work hard than to hold ceremonies without some concrete contents. To my way of thinking,college students should not keep silent on those occasions.It is our responsibilities to voice our intentions and let the society know that we have not forgotten the history.Topic 10The Popularity of Instant Messaging TechnologiesRecently,we can hear the melodious sounds of the lovely QQ penguin out of cell phones almost everywhere on campus.Those cell phone users are actually communicating with their friends through the mobile QQ.This new means of instant messaging technology has gradually gained its popularity among college students.Mobile Feixin,another form of instant messaging technology,also receives wide usage among college cell phone users.In comparison with the text message usage,mobile QQ is much cheaper.Users are only charged by the total network flows.As to mobile Feixin,users can send free text messages.Whats more,this mobile instant messaging technology also brings more convenience .With these mobile services,users do not need to type on the desktop computer or laptop.In consequence,without worrying about the cell phone fees,users are able to enjoy the pleasure of instant chatting almost everywhere.However,mobile instant messaging services should not be embraced wholly with open arms.When mobile QQ softwares are downloaded to cell phones,they can create a serious security breach,for crackers may plant virus in the program.Topic 14Modern Technology and Human IntimacyWith the advancement of technology, some believe that people have become more intimate. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. The popularity of cell phones and Internet makes it possible to contact friends or relatives both at home and abroad. Whats more, it is more convenient to pay a visit to someone due to the constant improvement in vehicles However, there are people with the opposite view.From their viewpoint, modern technology has not narrowed the gap. On the contrary, it helps widen the gap. An important reason is that calls, on-line chat, or short messages lack emotional clue, and they can never replace face-to-face communication. However, with the popularity of modern technology, more and more people tend to ignore real communication,and become addicted to the isolated virtual world.In my opinion, technology does not play a decisive role. It is our attitudes that count. If we value friends and relatives, we should get close to them in person. Otherwise, they will feel emotionally distant.Topic 15Unemployment upon GraduationIn recent years,we have witnessed an unfavorable social phenomenon-more and more college students become unemployed as soon as they graduate. There are three possible reasons to account for this phenomenon.To begin with,the expansion of universities provides more chances for more students to receive higher education.However,the job market cannot provide enough job vacancies at the same time.Whats more,the situation is even worse when some students unanimously choose the “hot” majors.In the third place,many students expect highly of themselves-they choose not to work at all if they are not satisfied with the job,the salary,the working conditions,etc. Thus the solutions to this problem seem more than clear on this occasion In order to create more job opportunities,the government should gradually optimize the industrial structure,laying more emphasis on the service industry.Moreover,university authority should take the job marketinto consideration while admitting new students.And college graduates should lower their expectations while hunting jobs.As long as the government,universities and students make joint efforts,a sound solution is not far away.Topic 16Left-behind Children in the CountrysideEvery year, millions of people from rural areas pour into cities to find jobs. And the phenomenon of left-behind children is prevalent.Left-behind children are suffering a series of problems. They are not taken good care of by their parents because of the distance.Therefore, many of them are rather weak physically and psychologically. Besides,they are easily led astray due to the absence of parental love and guidance In my opinion, measures should be taken to solve the problem. Firstly, both people in the cities and countrysid should endeavor to offer love and concern to these children. The parents in particular should not make money at the sacrifice of ignorance of their children. Secondly, policies should be implemented so that children from countryside can also have access to educational opportunities, medical care and other services in the city. Finally, it is urgent to develop economy in the rural areas, so that people can get well-paid jobs near their homes.Topic 17A Letter of Applying for the Position of SalespersonDear Sir or Madam,I learned from Yicheng Evening Post yesterdaythat your company is looking for some salespersons.I am very interested in this position and believe I can fill the slot.Last year I graduated from Yicheng University,majoring in Human Resource Management.During my four-year study there I did well in the required and optional courses and had a good command of French as well as English.After graduation,I took up a job in KFC as a salesperson for one year,accumulating a fair knowledge and experience in sales field.I am enthusiastic about communicating with the customers and clients.I shall be grateful if you could consider my application attached to the resume,and offer me an interview.I am available every morning and please contact me at 56423654.I look forward to your favorable reply.Yours Sincerely, Li MingTopic 18Study English in Foreign CountriesIt is a good idea to study English in a country where English is widely spoken.But I believe it is not the only way to learn English.Most students begin to learn English at primary school.They are good at grammar,which will be of great help when they advance the language.As well,studying English at home is not as stressful as doing that in an English-speaking country.Thanks to the convenient Internet access and international communication English learners have a large amount of information and many channels available for them to improve their language skills.Admittedly,when in another country,they have more opportunities to communicate daily with native people in English Also,they can experience the foreign culture as well as authentic language.But the money consumed and the homesickness,are not easy to overcome.In general,though it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country,a reasonable level of English can also be achieved in ones own country,if students are dedicated to study.Topic 19Honesty in the Loan SystemChinas Ministry of Education has carried out an education loan system for years. Government grants interest-free loan to millions of college students from poor families every year.However,some student debtors fail to repay their loans,even after graduation.It is the national priority to push the whole education,in which students from poverty-stricken familieshave the right to be offered the money and the fair opportunities.Our government has a duty to provideand protect a comprehensive and high-quality education for its entire citizens.On the other hand,the students have to pay back the money during and after their school days.Credit is supposed to be presented as well as money.Otherwise,they,the loan defaulters,losetheir credits
