作文

UNIT1
There are different opinions on Internet slang. Some people think Internet slang is cool and vivid, full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting easier and quicker. However, some other people think Internet slang will harm people’s language ability. Also, it is hard to understand and not accepted by many people, since the words might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding. In my opinion, every coin has two sides. Living in the Information Age, if we don’t know Internet slang, we risk falling behind the times. The important thing is to use it with the right person in the right situation.

UNIT2
Over the past few years, many talent shows have appeared on TV across the country, such as “Super Girl,” “Super Boy,” etc. These entertainment shows are very popular, especially among young people, and have a significant influence on their lives. They believe that the TV talent shows can offer them the opportunity to show their talent, or even change their lives.
On the other hand, many people have a negative opinion about TV talent shows. They think these shows mislead the youth by making them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight. As a result, many students are so keen on taking part in the competition that they leave their studies behind during the show’s season.

UNIT3
If you find yourself “in love,” it’s OK but... wait! Right now, you have a lot more important things to do. Think of these questions: Will you still love him or her 10 years later? Do you have enough education to find a good job and live a happy life with your crush in the future? What would you do if you find someone better than your crush? I bet you are not sure of the answers. Why? Because you’re too young to understand true love!
True love will come when you’re much older. Now, you should try to be the best person you can be, and do the very best you can. That means doing well at school and being a good son or daughter first.

UNIT4
I have some complaints among which the most annoying thing is we are not allowed to curtain our beds in our dorm. Otherwise we will be fined 20 to 50 yuan. Although this will make the dorm look neat and clean, I think this rule is quite unfair. Usually six students share the same room. Sometimes we want to have more privacy, so we prefer to have a curtain to separate us from the outside world. I suggest that we should be allowed to curtain our beds.
UNIT5
Before you go to another country, it is helpful to learn about the language and some of the customs of the country.
When people meet each other for the first time in England, they say, “How do you do?”, and shake hands. However, they do not shake hands if they see each other regularly. They only shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time, or when they will be away from each other for a long time. But things can be quite different in other countries.
Last year, a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students, however, had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.

UNIT6
I like orange juice very much and often drink it in the mornings. It is an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps the body fight infections. Various medical studies show that orange juice may help lowe
