Save moneyA recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information company, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese college students today favor the idea of saving money for later use, whereas quite many others deem it much better to use tomorrows money today. Personally, I side with the former. Firstly, saving money can relieve ones anxiety in case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces such tragedies as fir damage or fatal disease, one would need a large amount of money to survive such difficulties. Secondly, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment. Since most people work hard every day, they will be quiet happy and satisfied with his “achievement” when they find they have accumulated a large deposit in the bank. Thirdly, saving money allows one to give a helping hand to others. With money available at the moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary difficulty, say, those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or things like that. Yet taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus, the timely help will be rewarded with gratitude. A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered. To sum up, saving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspect of the Chinese conception of virtue. Therefore, lets start saving money from today on.Open CoursesOnline open courses are gaining popularity in recent years. Following globally famous universities like Yale and Harvard, some universities in China have also started to offer online open courses. Those courses have attracted people from all classes with different occupations.The courses have brought many benefits to people. Many of the courses are provided by universities in foreign countries, and thus offer fresh ideas to us. Through them, we can keep up with what people are thinking all over the world. But that can also be a problem. Some of the courses may not be very suitable for Chinese students because of cultural differences and may cause chaos on Chinese campus.In my opinion, online open course is useful and we should make use of it to broaden our horizons. But we should also remember to have our own thinking and not be brainwashed by improper ideas.Trust CrisisThe picture vividly depicts the trust crisis in modern society：the customer doubts about the quality of a bargain，while the seller worries that the bill is counterfeitThis is a worrying social problem，which makes people always suspicious about others，and then affects social harmonyTo get to the root of this problem，we should call on the efforts from all sides to recognize the value of honesty and credibility in the tide of commodity economyFor one thing，the government should enact strict laws and regulations to punish fraudsFor another,the mass media and education institutes should play a positive role in restoring mutual trustFinally,individuals should improve their own moral standards，and develop a sense ofresponsibility for othersIn short，being honest and credible is SO valuable a virtue that it should be the last thing that can be cast awayEveryone should watch out his behaviors and eradicate immediately the seed ofdishonesty once it is sowed in the mindshopping on the internetNowadays with the ever rapid development and increasing popularity of the information technology , shopping on the internet has been a fashion especially among the youngsters.Online shopping has made our daily life more convenient and comfortable. For example , shopping on the internet can save students a great deal of time on the way between home and store, so they would be able to concentrate more time and energy on their academic work. The internet has shorten the distance between manufacturers and consumers and thus we can even buy goods in other countries .On the other hand , lack of the face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy. What s more the delivery will increase the risk of items damage.In my opinion, shopping on the internet is a irreversible trend. More and more people will be accustomed to it. It will be much more popular in the near future. And at the same time we should take some measures to make it perfect.Goal Setting Is Important“Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.” This philosophical wisdom by John Ruskin, one of the greatest British writers, tells us that goal setting is extremely important in life.Why is goal setting so important? The main importance of goal setting is that it provides us with direction and purpose. When we have goals, we know what we want to achieve so that we can focus our mindson a single worthwhile target and avoid getting distracted easily. Personal goal setting also provides us with motivation to achieve what we want to achieve.Goal setting is of especial significance for todays students. A study reveals that when students set goals, they learn the importance of taking responsibility, of minimizing excuses and of helping others. Goal setting is a lifelong skill that first helps students succeed in school and then later in life.My View on Double BA DegreeRecently it has become a common phenomenon for college students to have two majors at the same time. In this way, they can get double BA degrees when they graduate from the university several years later.Although it may bring unfavorable consequences, we can be sure to conclude that this practice is favorable on the whole. To begin with, most students will become more hardworking and efficient in order to finish the learning tasks satisfactorily. Moreover, with two degrees at hand after graduation, they will stand a better chance in the job market full of fierce competition. In the third place, as for todays university students, tuition and fees are becoming more and more expensive. If they can make achievements in study at school and find a satisfactory job afterwards, it will not be a big problem.Weighing the pros and cons of such a new trend, we can naturally arrive at the conclusion that it is beneficial and rewarding. This system not only compels students to work hard, but also prepares them for the coming competition.AdvertisementAdvertisements are forcing their way into peoples lives. People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen. Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers. Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way. To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.There are many ways to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms.However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised products and have been dissatisfied with them。Business and EthicsMost people learn from the TV series that businessmen are mean and immoral, they can do what they want in order to achieve the biggest profit. In reality, some businessman indeed chase for the possible profit at the cost of being lack of ethics, while others believe that business ethics helps further success. I agree with the latter.Business ethics helps a company to keep long term cooperative relationship with employees and customers. First, some bosses to get more incomes at the basis of reducing the employees wellbeing, it will cause the employees get dissatisfied with the company and they come to job-hopping, then the company need to recruit another new employees, retrain them again, it will cost time and waste resources, the company cant run well during the unstable change. Second, if a company has a good reputation, customers are willing to buy their products and keep business with the company. On the contrary, no one is willing to buy the companys products which is immoral, the product may be not in good quality, it will do harm to peoples health.Today, the world is full of competition, if a company wants to get win-win situation, the boss must have the sense of ethics, with it, the employees and customers will ensure the company big profit.College StudentsLiving ConditionRecently, the living condition of some college students is frequently referred to as “dwelling-narrowness”. In fact, this embarrassing situation is very serious that few of us can fail to meditate on the causes of it.In the first place, its difficult for graduates to bear the high cost of life in big cities. Poor payment thus gives rise to bad living conditions. Next, college students are more ambitious. Many of them are eager to compete in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing, where talents are abundant and positions are limited. Refusing to go back hometown let them suffer in big cities, which indirectly make their situation worse.Generally speakin
