What Electives to Choose
Recently, thanks to the advancement of tertiary education in mainland China, a growing number of wise people focus their attention upon quality-oriented education rather than examination-oriented one. Logically, optional courses in ever increasing numbers are available for university students who then have more chances to choose the lectures they are interested in.
Undoubtedly, the reasons why students choose their elective lectures are various. To begin with, the competition in job market is tougher and tougher so that it is increasingly difficult for university students to hunt a nice job after graduation. As a result, for the purpose of being the winners in the competitive job market, a multitude of students prefer to choose some practical courses which they like to learn, in that they hold an opinion that theoretical courses, including mathematics, philosophy and literature, can enable them to obtain wisdom which is more essential than information.
Personally, I will choose communication course to learn for the reason that we live in an information age in which communication plays an indispensable role in society. With good communication skills, it will be advantageous for me to be a winner in future career.
Recreational activities
In contemporary society, as increasingly tough/fierce competition poses great pressure upon people, a great variety of 一系列的recreational activities, including entertainment and games, are created to help people relax. Yet some people hold opposite views to recreational activities.
It is often pointed out by some people that relaxation activities can bring great benefits to people. In the first place, it is absolutely necessary for modern people to have an outlet 情绪的释放或发泄 of pressure they burdened. Logically, recreational activities can meet such kind of need in physical and psychological aspects. Moreover, some recreational activities can even broaden people’s horizon
and inform them new information and knowledge.
Others, in contrast, who believe recreational activities also have negative effects, emphasize that a multitude of children cannot resist the temptation of video games or soap operas which will kill a great mass of time. Furthermore, too much entertainment can also make people tired.
Accordingly, I cherish a belief that recreational activities themselves are not good or bad and that we can benefit a lot from recreational activities as long as we take a good control over them. 借鉴和模仿
Limiting the Use of Disposal Plastic Bags
There was a time when disposal plastic bags obtained great popularity among people on the rungs of social ladder, for they definitely brought convenience to people who went shopping at supermarkets or department stores. Yet recently, there is a growing voice against the wide use of disposal plastic bags.
The voice arises from several problems caused by such plastic bags. To begin with, as it is not easy to decompose, disposal plastic bags may pollute our environment for a relatively long time. Worse still, it poses tremendous harm to people’s health. In such a society with quick pace of life, it is not uncommon for people to have instant food wrapped in disposal plastic bags. Logically, people will absorb some poisonous chemical material while enjoying such convenience.
Accordingly, owing to the above harms, it will benefit humans greatly, if we spare no effort to ban the use of disposal plastic bags. The threats form such plastic material will gradually and eventually vanish and perish. And the manufacturing of new products of this kind of bags can also create more job opportunities and promote economy development positively.
Disposable plastic bags were once widely used in China. When we went shopping at supermarkets and departments stores, shopping assistants often provided free plastic bags for our convenience. For a while, life without them seemed unimaginable for most of us.
However, disposable plastic bags do bring severe damage to our environment. Costumers usually threw them away after use, and because they are thin and hard to decompose, these plastic products will exist for a long time. This is an immediate threat to our earth and water.
Nowadays, the government has passed relevant regulations for limiting the use of disposable plastic bags: they are not free any more. In some shopping places, in order to invoke the public awareness of environmental protection, plastic bags are offered in a much higher price. As a result, people are changing their behavior: paper and clothing bags that vanished for a long time come back to our daily life. It is true that by limiting its usage, everyone in this society contributes some effort to the improvement of the environment
