The problems I Have in my English Study
参考范文1
After studing English for a period of time, I have met many difficulties. Among all these difficulties, oral English, I think is the biggest one. I’m always a fraid of wrong English words and wrong English grammars in my chatting to others. As a result, the more nervous I am, the less fluently I can speak English. Apart from this, reading comprehension is another obstacle. Although the main idea of a passage can be grasped by me, there are still a lot of mistakes when I deal with the questions.
I think the reasons causing the above problems are as follows. On the one hand, the opportunity for practicing my goral English is few. Even if I run across a foreign in the street, my hesitation makes me lose the chance. This is why my oral English not so good. On the other hand, when I do reading comprehension, I concentrate on rading speed merely, regardless of intensive understanding. This is not strange why I can not comprehend the primary idea of a passage.
In terms of the problems above, I think out ways of resolving them. From now on, I should encourage myself to grasp any chance to speak English. Besides, when reading a passage, I should pay much attention to comprehension while noticing my reading speed. I believe the problems I have in my English study can be overcome with correct ways.

Why We Work
参考范文1
When we live in the world，we all work for some reason or other. Different people have different attitudes towards work. Some people live to work.. They devote themselves to their work.. The aim for which they work is to realize the value of life，to promote the development of society and to make more people live happy life. They make great contributions to society and at the same time they also find pleasure from their work.
On the contrary，other people work to live. They regard work as a way of making a living. The purpose for which they work is to kill time or to make enough money to support themselves and their families. They often regard work as what they have to do. So they can’t pick up pleasure and enjoyment from their work. Such people，once they can afford to support themselves and their families，perhaps quit their work.
In my opinion，we shouldn’t go to the extremes. Since we are members of society，we should do what we can to better it so that we can live in more comfortable and more convenient surrounding. Good life is an assurance of smooth work. Only when we realize this can we live happily and work well.
参考范文1
Facing the topic of why we work, there are various answers coming from various people by the rason that people have different philosophy of life.
In the first place, some people regard subsistences as the most important thing so they think they work to live. What they care in work is how much thay can be paid. They ignore whether the work is vapid as long as they can earn more money from it. In the second place, contrary to the abouve idea, there are a lot of people who believe that they live to place, contrary to the above idea, there are a lot of people who believe that they live to work. Their life goal is to make an achievement and become successful through hard work. Usually they choose their work depending on whetherthe work can accord with their interest and aim.
As far as I’m concerned, we shouldn’t limit our work to the way of earning our livelihood, but work for the prosperity and mightiness of our country. This is not only a correct attitude we should take, but also a significant way we live.

The Quality of Cross-Century Talentys
In order to survive and succeed in the 21st century，the cross-century talents should have good educational background，strong communication skills and open-mind，etc.
Because our society is characterized with the“knowledge economy”，education background is becoming vital to all of us. We surely need to learn the modern technology in order to succeed in our life. As the world economy becomes more and more globalized，we need to contact with different people in different parts of the world. A good command of foreign language and an understanding of cultural difference become increasingly important. As good command of foreign language and an understanding of cultural difference become increasingly important. As the world becomes“smaller”，we need to be more open-minded to new ideas.
To become a cross-century talent，we need to bear in mind that learning is no longer a once-and-for-all experience，but an on-going process，or in other words，the idea of life-long renewal will prevail.

Facing the arrival of the 21th century, as the cross-centry talents, what quality should we be equipped with? The first, I think, is knowledge. The second is health. Meanwhile, somececessary skills must be grasped, such as being accomplished in a certain foreign language, using computers skillfully and so on.
First of all, in this age of knowledge explosion, people who own the most useful knowledge can go ahead, otherwise will fall behind. To the whole country, knowledge is the key factor to determine whether we can make our cungtry stronger than others. Secondly, the people’s health level can indicate whether a country is prosperous. In 2008, we should greet Being Olympic Games with healthy body. The last but not the least, English and computer have becaome a bridge to communicate with people in various countries. Therefore, their importance is indubitable to each of us.
In a word, if we’d like to become a cross-century talent, we ought to study hard and strengthen the physical training so as to be qualified cross-century talent.

Which is More Important，Wealth or Health？
参考范文1
Different people have different viewpoints about this subject. Some say that wealth is more important，for keeping fit needs money. Others say health is more important，for you can do nothing without a good health. This question is still under discussion.
In my opinion，health is more important than wealth. The following points can we support my statement. First，a good health will enable you to enjoy your life. With a good health，you will be happy with yourself and your family as well. Second，a good health will enable you to work effectively. In this way，you may do more contributions to our society. Third，a good health is also the best way of money saving. With a good health，you will reduce the economic burden for yourself，your family and the society as well. I can’t imagine what will happen to a society whose citizens have a poor health. Therefore，health is more important than health.
参考范文2
Along with the rhym of modern life becoming faster than before, a new word “subhealth” set people thinking deeply. Which is more important, health or weath? Some people hold that wealth is the most important thing to their life while others hold that nothing is more important than health. Their reasons are following.
Above all, many people allege that as long as they are wealthy, anyting else, such as health, happiness ans so on, can be bought. Surely, wealth is number one to them. The idea of making a fortune occupies their mind and they ignore all other things, including health. On the contrary to this, a lot of people believe that they’ve got nothing if losing their health. They think wealth and happiness become significant only under the status of health, therefore they’d rather quit some opportunities of earning money in order to keep healthy.
As far as I am concerned, money is not the key to open all doors. Without health, money is meaningless to people. We should take right attitude to deal with this matter.

When speaking of great inventions and discoveries in the last century, I can say that the invention of the Internet is the most important. The Internet plays a role in our work and daily life so significant that people regard it as an indispendable partner. The following examples can prove this point of view.
First of all, when we’d like to obtain some imofrmation in a certain field in the past, we had to spend a great deal of time to consult may people and refer to a lot of books. However, the Internet makes it relaxable and eay. In just a few seconds, the information you need appears on the web page. In addition, comparing with the tradional letter, the Internet creates a quick and convenient method for us to communicate. It really shortens the distances of the whole world that can be named as earth village. No matter what we do, the Internet provides us the most effective ans useful means of communication,
In conclusion, people can’t imagine what it is like without the Internet nowadays, especially so some people who engage in electronic business. What we should do is to further improve the Internet’s function and makes it serve human being better.

The increase in the Number of Chinese Traveling Abroad
The chart given abouve shows that there were about 7.5 million Chinese traveling abroad in 1999, and the number went up to 10 million in 2000. It was even more in 2001, reaching 12.1 million. It is undoubted that the number of Chinese traveling abroad mounted up continually. The factors that cuase this trend are various, but the main ones, in my opinion, are the following.
In the first place, economy is the primary factor. As we know, the income of ordinary people in China is increasing constantly. Traveling aborad is no longer a burden they can’t afford. In the second place, communication between China and other countries is more and more frequent. Chinese people are eager to go abroad personally, getting to know how people live under different cultures and customs. At the same time, it is also to improve foreigners’ understanding to China——an old and big country.
Since teavel can not only accelerate the exchanges of different counties, but also improve the friendship between Chinese people and people in other countries, our country should further perfect the travel sustem and unsure more development of travel industry.

夺命之物
一栋住宅楼发生了大火，一个中年男子在大火中丧生。奇怪的是，他5岁的儿子明明却逃了出来。有人问明明：“你是怎么逃出来的？”明明说：“我拿了一块湿毛巾捂住鼻子，贴在地上爬……”，这是科学有效的逃生方法。
人们不解：“你爸爸不会这么做吗？”
明明说：“会，是爸爸教我这么做的。爸爸和我一起爬到了门口，他说忘了一件东西，就又爬回去了。” 参加救火的消防员说，他们发现那具男尸时，他的手里紧紧地攥着一沓百元大钞。
于是，人们明白了：有一种东西杀人夺命，比大火还厉害。

参考范文1
As the story tells us，we have to think which we are to consider as more important，life or money. The father in the story is the victim of his savings，because he loses his life when trying to get his money out of the house regardless of the risk. The story is intended to tell us that money sometimes brings misfortune if one has become a slave of money. My argument is listed as follows：
On one hand，to be the master of money can make life more meaningful and bring fortune. It is known to all that there are many other things that are more important than money，such as knowledge，health and friendship. Overestimate of the importance and value of money is likely to confine one’s activity and thinking to money. As a result，everything else is overlooked and happiness will not come easily.
On the other hand，to be a slave of money can make a person end up with disaster，just as the father in the story. Many crimes are related to money，including robbery，bribery and stealing. This follows that we have to take a positive attitude towards money.
In conclusion，I’ll never do such a silly thing as the father has done. Money does mean a lot，but it does not mean everything. I’ll learn a lesson from the story and try to devote myself to more important tasks rather than become a slave of money.

Whether college students should be allowedto get married
There is much discussion nowadays as to whether or not College students should be allowed to get married. Some people think it is humanistic to allow college students to get married，while there are some others who believe that it may make a far-reaching negative impact upon the students’ study. Were it left for me to decide whether college students should be allowed to get married or not，I would not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
There are a dozen of reasons behind my belief. First of all，academic studying is what the college life should focus on. The whole point of marriage is that it imposes clear obligations，not just the right to pursue your own happiness，but to provide both emotional and practical care for each other，which surely wastes a lot of time. More importantly，most college students are relying on their parents’ financial support to continue their study. Surely，their parents hope they can concentrate on study instead of love affairs.
Most important of all，a great majority of college students are still young，that is，they have not yet developed a sound opinion as to the true implication of love and marriage，thereby，most of their marriages may end up in divorce.
From what we discussed above，we can safely come to the conclusion that it is unwise to allow college students to get married. Because it wasted too much time，money and energy，which greatly influences their studies and both physical and mental welfare. And the rules and regulations should be made by both the college and the governments to be manifest to all college students that college students are forbidden to get married.
参考范文2
A heated debate that whether college students should be allowed to get married before they graduate has existed for a long time. Since their age is old enough to begin the marriage life legally, some people believe that it doesn’t accord with the law of human rights if they are not permitted to get married. As far as I’m concerned, the advantages are less than the abuses if college students have their marriage during their university education. The reasons are as follows.
First of all, apart form some exceptional status, most college students’s life is around home and campus. Without social anneal, they are not mature enough to face the obligation that marriage brings. Furthermore, most college students can’t be independent economically, still relying on their parents’ support. How can they carry a family’s burden?
Secondly, competition in modern society is becoming aboil increasingly. It’s not easy for college students to greet challenges if they don’t have sufficient preparation for their future, and early marriage will influence their study undoubtedly. In order to own a happy and steady family, a solid basis of career is necessary. Therefore, college students ought to concentrate their mind on study but not be married so early.
Thirdly, college life is valuable and fugacious. In this collective, we can not only gain abundant knowledge, but win sincer friendship as well. It is a pity for college students who will limit themselves into personal life of marriage of they are allowed to get married.
In conclusion, it is not suitable for college students to get married during their college education. They should fully utilize the golden time to prepare mentally, intellectually and economically.

Some college graduates choose to work as village officials.
1. Do you think it is a good idea？
2. What can they offer the countryside？
3. What can they gain from their village positions？
参考范文1
College graduates work as village officials.
People find it hard to find a job，especially the college graduates. Most of them just want to work in the big and developed cities，such as Shenzhen，Shanghai，etc. But the situation has changed. Some college graduates prefer to work as village officials in the rural areas，I think it is a good idea.
First，it not only can ease the job-hunting pressure in the big cities，but also can make the college graduates have more job chances. Second，the college graduates can bring the advanced science and technology to the lagging rural areas. For example，they can teach the villagers how to feed the pigs effectively and plant the fruits and vegetables scientifically，which can help the villagers live a wealthy life in a short time. Third，the college graduates can exercise themselves in the poor living condition. They can know much more about Chinese farmers，and they may have a better and larger platform to display their talents and abilities.
In a word，I am in favor of this idea，and I wish I could be a village official after graduation.
参考范文2
Along with the quantity of college graduates increasing continually, working as village officials appears in many newspapers. Is it a correct choice for these college graduates who’d rather create their careers in the countryside than wait for a big company’s offer with hundreds of competitors? I think the answer is positive.
Young college graduates possess many characters that are needed by the countryside, such as good education, activeness, enthusiasm and so on. Apart from these, they bring to the countryside new management ideas, latest techniques and many others. They also shorten the distance between rural areas and cities because they can grasp information from various fields timely. In a word, the rural areas can take on new appearance going with the arrival of college graduates.
As college graduates, they can also gain a lot during their working in village. Through combining the theory with practice, they can obtain practical knowledge that is unable to study on campus. Furthermore, ours is an age with better phusical conditions than before. Some college graduates from urban areas never know poverty and hardship and the experience of village officials anneal them phusically and mentally.
Form the statements above I may draw the conclusion that it is a good idea for college graduates to work as village officials.

Who and How to Take Care of Seniors？
参考范文1
Since China adopted one-child policy，together with improvement made in the social undertakings such as welfare and health care，there has emerged a problem of how to support seniors in recent years.
As every coin has two sides，the side effect of one-child policy has appeared，for example，the child regarded by other family members as the little prince or princess，always has his wishes satisfied without difficulty. Growing up in this family，no wonder they lack in sense of caring for others and learning to be independent of parents. Can they support their aging parents whose life expectancy has been prolonged？
To effectively cope with this social problem of taking care of seniors today，I may put forward several suggestions as follows：First，young adults in a family should spend more time with their elder members，giving financial help，chatting over favorite topics，doing family work. Secondly，the governments at all levels should finance the construction of more seniors care centers for aged people who wish to lessen the burden of their children. Last but not the least，the sense of responsibility for caring the seniors should be planted to the heart of everyone.
To sum up，I firmly hold that taking care of the seniors is one of Chinese traditional virtue and it involves the effort of young adults together with love from every corner of the society，particular social institutions. Only by doing so can we build a harmonious society.

As far as I am concerned, I view taking care of the seniors as one of the traditional virtues in China. Under no circumstance should we ingnore the importance of taking care of the seniors and providing a comfortable condition for them. Only by doing so can we build a harmonious society.

Self-confidence Is a Key to Success
参考范文1
From what is illustrated in this picture / As can be seen from the above picture, the man with full-confidence finally steps up to the championship while the non-confident person becomes the steps of the successful man. It is supposed that success is a beautiful dream that everyone wants to come true. However, there are many factors led to success. But it is no doubt that self-confidence is one of the keys to success.
There are various reasons accounting for this. Since we have to live in an on-the-move lifestyle, we may encounter various troubles on the way to success. When coming cross difficulties, we must be confident to overcome them, only through which can we finally achieve the goal. Furthermore, if we are not self-confident when we confront dilemma, we would not realize not only the personal dream but also the national dream. And no issue in China is as basic to build up the society in harmony as to conduct coordination in face of disaster.
From what we discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that self-confidence is a key to success both for the personal and the nation. If we uphold the sprite of self-confidence, we are able to conquer all the difficulties and achieve the goal no matter how serious the difficulties are!
参考范文2
What is a key to success? Probably some people would claim tha power and interpersonal relation are main factors leading to success. In my opinion, self-confidence is a key to success.
Because of being in possession of self-confidence, the question of “Can I do it?” is raplaced by the affirmative sentence “I can do it.” Because of it, many national industries are set up on the basis of shortage of capital and technology; because of it, our athletes conquer difficulties and win the final triumph in the world gymkhana. We have to admit that when facing the difficulty, most of us have the thought of moving back and giving up, so we need self-confidence.
All in all, one life only with self-confidence is a life of sifnificance and brilliance. Self-confidence is also a route to success, we will benefit from it our lifetime if we choose it to be our friend.

3. Conclusion.
There is no doubt that the blog has gained increasing popularity in people’s daily life in the past years. As we can see, people of varied ages, occupations and social ranks have their own blogs. They are somewhat like their online diaries.
Truly, the blog has some attractive traits. The most noticeable one is that one can share his or her own feelings and thoughts with many others. In this sense, a blog is like a book one has published about himself. Compared with traditional books, blogs have some advantages. For one thing, they can be continually renewed and revised at the author’s will. For another, one can, to some extent, choose his readers.
However, as every coin has two sides, the blog also has some drawbacks. First, some authors attack others in their articles and infringe upon others’ rights. Secondly, since the blog is not a real book, the intellectual property rights of the writer cannot be well protected.
To sum up, the blog is like a two-edged sword, which has both merits and flaws. Of course, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. Instead, we should exert proper supervision over it and let it serve us better.
