eback they mustseize everyminute anddo the most in the limitedlife time It is a crime to leta daygo bywithout gaininganything They think asmart personmakes full use of his or her time and has a ready

It meansif onepersists indoing hiswork he wouldbe sureto sueed But it doesnotmean exertingourselves allday andnight withoutrest The truemeaning ofdiligence is to usetime carefullyfor thepurpose ofimprovement or towork hardwithout wastingtime Laziness makesus useless If wedo notstudy andwork hard we willnot be able toearn aliving in the world There will be nothingwe can do justbecause wehave failedto learnanything byletting the time passunused Lazy handsmake aman poor but diligenthands bringwealth Time isprecious As anEnglish proverbsays Lost timenever returns Time is the onlything thatcan not be purchasedwith money Therefore we must makegod useofourtime and study hardwhen we are young 7 No Pains No GainsThe oldsaying No Pains No Gains means thatif wewant to get somethingdone wemusttake greatpains to do it otherwise we can tdoanything Take myselffor example Many peopleask me how I have managedto speakgood English Well I beganto learnto speakEnglish twoyears ago I went to oralEnglish classesthree eveningsa week went toEnglish cornerstwice a week got up early everymorning toPractice andseized everyopportunity topractise speaking I havemissed lots of entertainmentand timefor sparetime activities In this way I have made Progressday byday in my oralEnglish All myefforts have been worthwhile It isthe samewith allother things Anyone whohas achievedsomething in his lifemust haveworked veryhard beforehis finalsuess A lot of greatnames e to our mind Albert Einstein Thomas Edison Madam Curie Newton Lincoln to nameonly a few So let s learnfrom thesegreat peopleand tryour bestfor ourgoals 8 Science andHuman LifeScience is very importantto humanlife It playsand willplay abig partin conqueringnature andimproving humanlife With the development of science we nowhave television puters airplanes rockets and so on Television makesour worldsmaller Airplanes makelong distanceshort Rockets carryman totravel inspace Computers arehelping manin solvingdifferent problemsin industry agriculture and other fields Without it there wouldbe nocivilization oftoday Science cando good to mankind but it candoevil as well When it is wiselyused itwillbring benefit For example atomic energycanhelpman generateelectricity If it is wronglyused its destructivepower isuncontrollable andterrible It candestroy thousandsand thousands of livesin asplit second Science has madegreat contributionsto moderncivilization but ithas alsobrought aboutmany problems What wemust dois tobring itsadvantages tofull playand at thesame time tryour best to decreaseand avoidpossible problemsin thedevelopment ofscience 9 On HappinessPeople havemany interpretationsfor happiness Some thinkhappiness liesin thefact onehas achievedwhat onewants The harderone strivesfor something the happieroneiswhen thegoal isreached If oakes greatpains to aomplish atask allhis orher life whenthe work isfinally done this personcan sayhisorher wholelife is happy An idlelife is not happiness Neither is a meaningless life But some peoplethinkone canenjoy nothing and be happy and one can achievenothingandbe happy A womancan remain a housewifeall herlife andbehappy Happiness liesin thefact thatone canfind harmonyeven inthings that are worldapart So a peacefullifeishappiness a contentedlifeishappiness If onewants tofind happinessitcanbe foundeverywhere and in everything even inthings insignificantand trivial So faras I am concerned happiness is a stateof mindfeatured bypsychological balanceandapleasant feeling As anold Chinesesaying goes He whois contentedwith hisstatus quoishappy Owing todifferences inpeople s standardsand aspirations it isnatural thatpeople havedifferent viewson happiness So I think thetwo kindsof viewsare quitejustified 10 A CorrectApproach toQuarrels Oncein awhile quarrels seemalmost unavoidableamong people For ohing oranother they startto quarrel And sometimesthey endup inblows Naturally some peoplethink quarrelsare reallydisastrous They hurtpeople s feelings They turnfriendship intohostility and make lifeaburdenand suffering Quarrels createa lot of tragediesand bring about muchmisery But othersthink quarrelsare causedbecause ofmisunderstandings They can tbe avoided what s more quarreling inaway is also a means to make people morelearned andunderstand each other better If handledwith careandinan appropriateway they canmake peoplecloser to each other Sincere friendshipis oftenbuilt upthisway They canmake strangersacquaintances andturn enemiesinto friends In myopinion when aquarrel arises we shouldfirst of all findout the causes of the quarrel find morefaults withourselves andtry tosolve itinaproper way This willhelpusavoid futurequarrels andmakepeoplereconciled Of course we shouldstick to our pointof viewwhen weare right Blind unityat thecost ofprinciples should be avoided 11 Competition andCooperation Oursis regardedasa very petitivesociety yet a lotofundertakings callfor cooperation Then how shouldwe understand the relationship between petition and cooperation Let s illustratethis witha footballteam Everybody onthe teamworks hard and strivesto bethe bestplayer He willmakefullofhis own advantagesto catchup withand surpassthe others But everyoneshould cooperatewith theothers andwork togethertowin the game A teamgood atindividual skillsbut poorin teamwork cannever win a game This exampletells usmany things While petitionhelps enhanceindividual strength cooperation helpsbring individualstrength tofull play make tipfor eachother s defectsand enhancethe overallquality of the partiesinvolved As amatter offact it isby thismeans that our societyhas achievedtoday s prosperity A soundcycle of petitionandcooperation promoteeachother thus promotingthedevelopmentof thewhole society But petition withoutcooperation will be goodto onlya fewpeople butharmful to the societyasawhole while cooperationwithout petitionwill doharm toindividual s initiativeand eventuallystagnate socialdevelopment So let s petein thespirit ofcooperation andcooperate onthe basisofpetition 12 The Advantagesof BeingYoung Thereare somany advantagesof being young that I think it wouldtake meseveral hoursto mention them allin detail However in myallotted time I couldlist theprincipal ones Firstly one goodthing aboutbeingyoungis thatone canmake greatplans for the future Next inorder I think isthefact thatwhen oneis Young one s mindis freshand it is mucheasier to absorb newknowledge Thirdly onecanparticipate inall sortsof sports including someof the very strenuous ones without fearof the many seriousconsequences thatelderly peoplewould haveto fear But this of course also dependson one s physicalcondition No matterhow younga personmaybe if heis notphysically fit he mustbe onguard againstover straining himself Finally when oneisnotyet advancedin age one looksmuch moreattractive inpersonal appearance When helooks athimself in the mirror he doesnot findthe manyugly wrinklesontheface andneck white hairon hishead or nohair at all and dirtystains onhis skin that makeold peoplewince when they lookat themselves Yes it s trulywonderful to be youngand fit I sometimeswish that I couldalways maintain my youthlike PeterPan andnever growold 13 The Purposes of SchoolHave youever askedyourself whychildren go to school You willprobably saythat theygoto school to learn their own languageandotherlanguages arithmetic geography geometry his tory science andall theother subjects This isquite true But whydo theylearn thesethings They learntheirownlanguage so that they will be able totell othersclearly whatthey wantand whatthey know andunderstand what otherstell them And othersubjects theystudy atschool willalso havesome practicaluses in their life Well are thesethings allthat theylearn atschool We goto schoolabove allto learnhow to learn so that when wehave leftschool we continue tolearn Therefore the purposesare notjust toteach languages arithmetic etc but toteach studentsthe waytolearn 14 PurposesofGoing AbroadSince theimplementation of Open door policy inthe early1980 s tens ofthousandsofChinese mostly youngpeople have goneabroad andnow moreare waitingfor theirchances ormaking opportunities Among themthe overwhelmingmajority wantto studyadvanced scienceand technology Some of them planto settledown asimmigrants As forme I belongtothemajority I have been applyingfor admissioninto thegraduate schoolofaworld famous university As ascientist I knowit isquite helpful to receivefirst class trainingunder theguidance ofleading professorsand todo experimentsinthe world s toplaboratories Although I am fundedby thegovernment inresearch programs there isno newly developed equipment Besides we lackexperience andthe latestliterature concerningthe researchprojects If I can sueedin obtainingthe opportunityto study inthatuniversity I will be able to aomplishmy researchwork atan earlierdate andmake agreater contributionto mymotherland since my researchresult canbe appliedearlier On theother hand if Ifail togo abroad 1 for lackof literature experience andguidance willbegroping indarkness andmy researchresult willsurely beoutdated bytheworkof myforeign counterparts At atime whenpeople haveconflicting viewson going abroad I havethis definitepurpose asmentioned aboveand Ibelieve I am justifiedas those who sharesimilar purposesor reasonsinthehope ofgoingabroad studying scienceand technologyfor themotherland 15 On Part time JobsNowadays manycollege students have part time jobs Some workas tutors some aswaiters andwaitresses and some as salespersons How shouldwe lookat thisphenomenon In myopinion part7time jobsbringaboutmany advantages First ofall students canlearn somethingfrom societyand gain some socialexperience This willbe usefulto theirfuture career Secondly they wille toknow whatkind ofjobs aremost suitablefor themafter graduation andwhatkind of knowledge andability willbe necessary sothatthey willwork harderat theircourses In addition part time jobsenable studentsto getsome money With thismoney they canbuy books reference materialsand dailynecessities They canhave betterconditions for their lifeandstudywithout increasedburdens ontheir parents For allthese advantages part time jobshave disadvantages Some students often gettired fromtheir jobsand theydon t haveenough timefortheirstudies Besides the inexperiencedstudents sometimesare involvedinsometroubles So Ithink studentsshouldhandleproperly therelationship betweentheir studyand part time jobs Always rememberstudy isour full time job 16 On EnvironmentalPollution Ifyou have a lookaround you willfind thatbrooks andrivers areno longerclear Instead they arefilled withrubbish litter orother fifth The bluesky isnow darkerwith
