future aftergraduation They think they arebound tofind goodjobs with a goodcollege education However life in the colleges and thejobs that they canfind areusually somewhatdisappointing Especially under the severepetition oftoday s society it is not veryeasy for a collegegraduate tofind asatisfying job As faras Iam concerned universities canprovide goodstudy opportunitiesand essentialfacilities forthose whowant toacquire knowledgefor theconstruction of our country and thisis thereason whywe attendthe universities 2 On Super Girls Our classhas recentlyheld aheated discussionabout the Super Girls phenomenon whichwas hotnews in these years The students show theirdifferent opinionsabout it 62 of the students supportit They think that itprovides achance forthose withtalent forsinging toshow In this way some newsingers can be trainedand soit canpromote the development ofmusic And it can alsoimprove theirconsciousness ofpetition However 38 of the students areagainst it They believethat many students spendtoo much time andenergy on the petition Some studentseven longto beefamous overnightand can t concentratethemselves onstudies What s worse it cancause some students toworship theiridols blindly In myopinion we canhave ourpreference but we shouldn t lose ourselves in the star pursuing tide 3 Can MoneyBuy Happiness Nowadays a lot of people in societythinkthe more moneythey have themorehappiness they will obtain As aresult they willtry their best to get money even withoutconsidering thelaw But inmy view the greatesthappiness lies in one s satisfactionwith one s surroundings So longas we can lookat thingswithahappy heart we can be happy It has nothing to do with the amountof moneywe have Therefore people shouldn t paytoo muchattention to the money On thecontrary what they should dois to put theirmoney to good useand try to have an optimisticoutlook all the time 4 The Advantagesand Disadvantagesof Surfingthe InterWith thedevelopment ofputer technology the Interhas beemore andmore popular Opinions aredivided onwhether students should surf the interafter class Some studentsregard itas agreat helper The mainreasons forthis arelisted asfollows first you cansurfthe Inter forany informationyou needin ashort timewithout working hard in the library Besides it isconvenient to municate with others byusing theInter However other studentsthink that there aresome disadvantagesof theInter because there is also some informationthat is not goodfor thestudents In addition spending too muchtimeplaying gameson linewill not only have a badeffect onstudy but also doharm to our health Therefore we should make properuse of theInter It isof greatimportance forus toseparate goodplants fromwild weeds 5 Natural ResourcesFor manyyears we have been toldthat Chinais richin variousnatural resources so many people takeit forgranted that they are inexhaustible People havenot consideredthat oneday some of thesenatural resourceswill beused upand that we willthen befaced withenergy crises As amatter offact many of the natural resources can not bereplaced onceused up such asthe coalmines oil fields etc Energy criseswill threatenour existencebecause of our excessiveexploitation andbecause of the growingpopulation Considering of the above the governmentshould try to take some actionsto protect the naturalresources and people should be educated notto wastethem 6 Examinations There are manyarguments about the advantagesand disadvantagesof examinations Some peoplethink thatexaminations canhelp themreview thelessons regularly while othersmaintain thattoo manyexaminations havefrustrated them To me I thinkan examinationis a good thingfor bothteachers andstudents Teachers canfind outhow muchthestudents have graspedand thenimprove theirteaching students on the other hand will learnwhat theirweak pointsare and then study even harder All in all we should not wastetime arguingwhether examinationsare goodor not What we should dois totry toimprove theexam systemand try to adjustit toour differentrequirements 7 Homework Nowadays more andmore people in societyhave realizedthe importanceof qualityeducation however students inprimary schoolsand high schools are still plaining that they are overloadedwith too much homework In manyteachers eyes homework offersa goodmethod tostrengthen the knowledge thestudentshaveobtained yet theyignore thedisadvantages thathomework brings For ohing too muchhomework will take upall thespare time of students leaving themunable toenjoy therest of their lives for another too muchhomework willdo greatharm tostudents health both physically and mentally It ishigh timethat schoolsthought moreabout the function ofhomework and try to take practicalmeasures topromote theall round development of students 8 Work andRest Justas afamous sayingsays All workand noplay makesJack adull boy It isobvious thatpeople should have adequaterest in order to work hard Yet somestudents especially those who arepreparing for the collegeentrance examination are worried about theirlessons andspend alltheir daytimegoing overthem In theireyes they shouldsacrifice theirrest timein order to gethigh scoreson tests As aresult they suffergreatly frompoor healthand someof themmay dopoorly in the examinations In conclusion we should be awarethat nothingis morevaluable thanhealth which is the foundationof one s suess With apoor health one canhardly sueedin anythinghe does Therefore as students we should have enoughrest toensure ahealthy bodytoworkand study 9 Is HonestyGoing out of Style Most Chinesepeople arequite familiarwith thestory of The threewolves cries We aretaught to be honestwhen we are veryyoung However as wegrow up we findthat it is difficultto behonest allthe time Sometimes weareforced to tell lies and othertimes we findpeople who are dishonestcan enjoygreat pleasurewhile honestpeoplehaveto sufferfailures And stillthere aretimes when we havetotellliesinorder notto hurtothers Consequently people wonderwhether honestyis goingout ofstyle As faras Iam concerned honesty shouldalways be an importantfeature valuedby Chinesepeople We should try ourbest toavoid tellinglies even whitelies Only in this way is afair societyawaiting us 10 My Viewsof theBan onFirecrackers Mostof usmay stillhold ahappy memoryin ourminds when wewere young the Spring Festival wascelebrated with the panyof theflaming sparksand theloud explosionsof firecrackers But because of thenumerous disasterscaused bythem governments in some big cities havepletely bannedthe firecrackersin thedowntown areas Some people are sadabout thisdecision They arguethat theywill losethe traditionof theSpring Festival Regardless of the firesandthedamage to human bodiescaused byfirecrackers they only focus on the pleasurefirecrackers can bring about With thedevelopment of the modern society more andmore changeswilltakeplace in our lives someofwhich maybe greatchallenges againstthe traditions but we should supportthe government s policyundertheconsideration of the wholesociety What s more upon steppinginto thenew centurywe shouldcelebrate theSpringFestivalin amore civilizedway 11 The Positiveand NegativeEffects ofAdvertising In the moderninformation era one can t avoidbeing surroundedby various kinds of advertisements They serveas adirect bridgebetween manufacturersand consumers By advertising manufacturers caneasily introducetheir productsand attractthe attentionof consumers On theother hand consumers willhave moreopportunities to get toknow moreabout thethings they are interestedin However there arestill lots of people who plain that many of thewords inadvertisements arerather misleading Some manufacturersspend fartoo muchmoney onadvertising theirproducts withouttrying topromote thequality of their goods To makethings worse some peopleeven usefalse descriptionsin theiradvertisements for the sake of making money Perhaps it is not advertising thatshould be blamed Rather weneed tostrengthen advertisinglaw Only underthe firm control ofgovernment can advertisementsbenefit peoplein thebroadest sense 12 The Generation Gap Nowadays many youngpeople are plainingthat their parentscannot understand themvery well They say that theirparents takecare ofevery aspect of their lives leaving themunable to have theirprivate space Yet parents areworried thattheir childrendon t showany respectto them and nevergive themany trust Consequently a householdphrase isspreading It isthe GenerationGap By usingthis phrase both theyoung andthe oldhave founda goodexplanation for their misunderstandingof each other yet theydon t botherto takeany measuresto coverthe distancebetween them In myopinion I think we shouldfirst admitthatthereare indeedsome differencesbetween parents and children Then we should try totakesometime tomunicate witheachotherfrequently Not onlythe parents butalsothe kidsshouldbeequal whenexchanging theirviews Only by their jointefforts can theparentsandchildren bridgethe generationgap betweenthem 13 Science andHuman LifeWith thedevelopment of science human lifehas changedtremendously People living in the18th or19th centurieswould neverimagine theadvanced householdappliances weare nowable toenjoy Every aspectof our lives for instance in thefield ofmedicine oragriculture has witnessed the greatimprovement throughthe applicationofscience However many peopleplain thatscience has also broughtdisasters tohuman life Some evilscientists haveused their knowledge to do someillegal things They mayuse sciencefor thecreation ofweapons todestroy thousands of livesin wars they mightalso usetheir knowledgeto producedrugs to make a lotofmoney for themselves Generally speaking science hasprovided uswith manyvaluable things But ifused wrongly it can also lead to harm We shouldtry to keep scienceunder ourcontrol andput itto thebest usefor mankind 14 Do Lucky Numbers Really BringGood Luck Some peoplethink luckynumbers like 6 or 8 will bringthem good luck because theybear asimilar pronunciationto therelated Chinesecharacters whichmean goodluck As aresult some youngcouples choosea datein whichthere is a 6 or 8 to holdtheir wedding while manyshops choosesuch datesto celebratetheir openingceremony However it is rather ridiculous to thinknumbers canbring goodfortune topeople One s suesshasnothingtodowith the number onechooses but israther relatedto one s own efforts Numbers are only numbers We shouldnot attach too much importance to them If youreally thinka luckynumber canbring goodluck toyou simply chooseit but don t forget to stillgo out of yourway to make your owneffort Without yourown contribution goodluckwon t simplyfall onyou automatically 15 Film isGiving Wayto TVThere is a mon phenomenon in our dailylives during theperiod from1975to1985 film goersdeclined dramaticallyfrom85 000to about12 000 while TV watchers sprungup from5 000to100 000 As to the reasons we mayconsider thefollowing aspects With thepopularity ofTV in our households more andmore peoplewant onebecause ofits cheapnessand convenience on theother hand TV programscan offerus moreoptions atthe sametime Nevertheless films havenot fullygive their way some peoplestill prefergoing tothe cinema They feelthe audio visual effectsoffered in the cinemais apermanent temptation 16 College StudentsGoing toRural AreasThere isa monphenomenon inrecent years more andmore students are willingtogo to somerural areasto put theirknowledgeinto practicaluse In1993 thenumber of studentsgoing torural areaswas only5 ofthetotal number of graduates however five yearslater that percentagehas morethan doubled Upon thinkingabout thereasons forthis

they aremore likelyto havea nicefuture in the rural areas theywillno longerstick tothe idealof beinga citizenin big cities On theother hand the governmentalso advocatesthe choiceof workingin theruralareas which encourages more youngstudents toleave thebig cities With thedevelopment ofa balancedeconomy bigcitieswill graduallylessen theirattraction forthe collegegraduates 18 My Viewson TraditionMany people especially the aged holdthe ideathat we should sticktothetraditions ofour country otherwise they thinkwe willloseourdistinctive Chinesecharacter In theireyes we shouldbe proudofthegreat traditionsleft byour ancestors We shouldmaintain theseold traditionsinorderto differentiateourselves fromother nations But many others arestrongly opposedto it they arguethat we shouldnotbe confinedtoourown traditions As tosome traditions they areclearly theobstacles tothedevelopment ofoursociety we shouldcertainly nothesitate togive itup While ontheother hand tradition maybe improvedthrough internationalmunications We shouldperhaps notbe obsessedwith ourown traditions On thecontrary we shouldbe braveenough totake inallthevaluable traditionsthat efrom differentnations Only inthis way can oursociety berun properlyand onlyinthisway can we improve ourowntraditions 19 Fast FoodIn recentyears China haswitnessedtheprosperity offast food restaurants inbigcities It isquite

ofoutstanding women With theiractions andachievements theyhaveshowed thatwomen cando almost everything asequally well as men Meanwhile withthechanges of their socialrole the positionof womenin thefamily hasalso greatlyimproved Yet thereisstill somediscrimination againstwomen Some organizationsrefuse to have womenemployees Even whenwomen areaepted they oftendo notenjoy equalpay forequal work Furthermore many husbandsstill considertheir wivesas theirpossessions In myeyes women shouldtryto get moreopportunities to get educatedand tryto beindependent bothmentally andfinancially They should never stopfighting forequal rightsin society 22 Competition andCooperation Competitionisamonphenomenonin oursociety We petewhenweplay games we petein ourstudy and weconstantly petefor jobs customers
