On Card Slave
As people change the patterns of consumption, it is common for people to have several cards. Then “Card slave” is coined. “Card slave” refers to people who can only pay the minimum balance on their credit card debt every month. Many youngsters fall under the so-called card-slave category.
The reason behind “card slaves” varies. The fierce competition among banks, Chinese or foreign, encourages them to lure customers to hold more credit cards. Unfortunately, some card holders, especially youngsters with large shopping addictions and small salaries, have
outstanding credit card debts and gradually became “card slaves” after reaching their credit card limit on luxury items. Due to their meager salaries, they always live on the edge of bankruptcy.
In my opinion, people should manage their financial affairs. First, only choose the credit cards that suit you the most. Secondly, manage your cards properly. Get some good tips from internet and follow them. Thirdly, increase income and avoid excessive expenses. These tips will help you keep away from the danger of becoming a “card slave”.

追星
Youngsters’ Worship
Nowadays, star-worshiping is popular among teenagers, especially many university students.
Why? When it comes to the symptoms of worshiping a star, the main factor I’d like to mention is imitation. With a blind love for their idols, teenagers firmly believe that their choices are the best. As a result, the stars’ clothes, hairstyles and hobbies, as well as their behaviors in public, are closely observed or followed, though, to some extent, they may be considered improper or even ridiculous.
In my opinion, having idols is not a bad thing. However, we should make it clear who are the real “heroes”. As far as I am concerned, the real heroes are those who are making the most contributions to our society, such as teachers, doctors and scientists. As students, we should learn from them. Only in this way can we become useful persons in the future.

考试
My Views on Examination
Nowadays the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject in most colleges and universities. Although it is efficient, its side effects are also enormous.
On the one hand, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully if treating exam as a gole . On the other hand, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. A examination is not the only criterion for driving the students to memorize mechanically, but to think creatively instead.
In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?

理想
Ideals
Everyone has his ideals. A businessman wishes to make greater profit; a farmer expects plumper harvests; a student tries to learn more and better.
However, one should be sensible about whether his ideal is well founded or not. If it is, one has to plan and work hard for its realization. Effort, skill and persistence are all necessary. And very often, one has to get help from others, including advice and support in one form or another.
My ideal is to become a doctor. It is said that the field of medicine is a well-paid profession, but I take it as a lofty profession entrusted with saving people’s lives. To realize my ideal I have concentrated on laboratory work to develop the analytical skills necessary to become a qualified doctor. I believe that I will realize this ideal one day.

网络舆论
On Events of Network Public Opinion
Do you still remember the “Guo Meimei Scandal” which has aroused national fury and mistrust toward Red Cross Society of China in 2011? However, it was just a start of the influence of network public opinion of China in changing the society. Now, nearly every day or two, there will be a new event heatedly commented by Chinese netizens through online facilities.
Actually, network public opinion is the co-product of the interaction between two factors. For one thing, the highly developed internet has brought the explosion of information to everybody’s life. Each piece of information can potentially be an “event”. For another thing, democratic consciousness has grown stronger in minds of Chinese people. Network is the democratic outlet where their free speech can be fully realized. Now, network public opinion has become the constructive power for a better society, which has been acknowledged by all levels of
governments. With overwhelming influence and massive power, it will help a lot in constructing Chinese social equity, including improving Chinese democracy, promoting anti-corruption; bring in judicial fairness, and etc.

出国旅游
Traveling Abroad
In recent years, more and more citizens are traveling abroad. In 1995, the number of people who choose to travel abroad was about 10000. The number quadrupled to nearly 40000 in 2000. And in 2005, the number further climbed above 12000.
There are several reasons for the shocking rise. To begin with, the improvement of the life standards makes traveling abroad affordable to more and more people. Moreover, the convenient transportation facilities make more destinations accessible. The last but not the least, after visiting most famous scenic spots throughout our country, exotic cultures seem to appeal more to many citizens. And gradually, they begin to treat traveling abroad as a new fashion.
This trend is beneficial for people on the whole. On one hand, it is a very interesting and romantic way to spend one's vacation. On the other hand, it enlarges people's vision by having a look at what is going on in a different country.

职业选择
Choosing an Occupation
One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, of course, who from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.
Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.

宿舍生活
On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory is disturbed in one way or another. As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.
There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious
dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life-style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.
In conclusion, we should try our best to build harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.

校园活动
Campus Activities
Campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges.These activities range from academie to recreational, such as academic reports, speech contests, poet’s club, painting clubs, singing and dancing groups, etc.
These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all, they play a positive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often buried in textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the various activities provide opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds. In addition, the activities also serve students living in the "ivory tower" more chances to get in touch with society. From these activities, the participants have to leave the classroom and get to know the society. All these offer an important means for students to broaden their horizons. By participating in campus activities, they have fulfilled university life and in turn help campus activities to grow and flourish.
