Starting Career in a Big City or Small Town
Want to be a small fish in a big pond or the other way round? Every graduate faces this question when he starts his career. Some prefer to stay in the big cities after graduation. To them, big cities mean more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. At the same time, higher salary is another temptation.
But some other graduates want to start in small towns. Even though there may not be many big companies, they can have a quieter and less competitive life. Another reason is they can be a big fish in a small pond. They can easily get the management’s attention and may win promotion earlier.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start in a big city like Shanghai. A good begin is half the battle, and in Shanghai I can find a job in a big company where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.

How to improve the graduates’ mental health
Graduates’ mental health has been playing an increasingly important role in the daily life. Actually, it is widely accepted that it has gained growing popularity among persons in all walks of life. However, in the season of graduation, it’s reported some cases of self-killing or mental disorder still happened.
Obviously, graduates face various kinds of pressure. When graduates confront with great pressure, the best method is to communicate with friends or family members to unburden the feelings. And the universities and colleges should also pay more attention to graduates’ mental health and take effective action such as providing psychological service for students helping them to deal with mental problems. From the perspective of parents, they should care more about their kids’ mental health, too. Though the parents cannot write the dissertation for the graduates, nor can they find a job, they can communicate with their kids and help them to figure out the reasons for the difficulties.
From the factors mentioned above, we may safely draw the conclusion that we can free ourselves from mental illness by taking certain precautions. For example, if you have pains or puzzles in mind, finding a friend to express is a good way to release pressure. Certainly, there is no doubt that further attention will be paid to this issue.

Digital Media
Nowadays, digital media has permeated almost every aspect of our daily life. It is changing the way that
Individuals, especially young people, learn, play, socialize, and participate in the society.
As a result, the function of digital media has turned into a major topic for the public. Some people pay tribute to its positive role as very convenient news sources, being available almost anywhere and anytime. While some people condemn the negative influence it has brought on privacy, morality, and independent thinking, which some people used to have and enjoy. And still others have been fighting between the merits and demerits of digital media for a final conclusion.
In my view, digital media is good for us students as it introduces a new way of learning which encourages more interaction and participation rather than rote learning. Besides, digital media makes it easier to produce and share things.

The Decline of Small Businesses
During the recent years, countless small businesses have closed their doors and gone bankrupt. The corner grocer’s, the small dress shop, the beauty salon, all are victims of market competition. Most of them are replaced by other small businesses that temporarily fill the needs of the neighborhood but frequently end up, sharing the same fate of dissolution. More often, the market served by small businesses is taken over by large stores and shops. Businesses like the corner groceries and the dress shops have gone to big department stores and supermarkets, which not only keep adequate store and variety, but also provide better environment and service.
Apparently, it is increasingly difficult for small businesses to succeed in the present complex economic structure based, as it is, on small profit margins and tremendous sales volume. Lack of enough fund and poor management may be the chief cause of this tragedy. In addition, the quality of their commodities often causes suspicion of the customers as many small businesses are found to sell fake products for more profit, thus earning themselves an evil reputation. As to shopping environment and convenient service, they are unmentionable. All of the above speed up their bankruptcy.
Today, with the establishment of more and more groups and big corporations, how small businesses can survive in the tide of the market competitive economy has become a hot social issue

Nowadays, more and more hi-tech tools, such as calculator computer, smartphones, etc., appear in our daily life. We use them wherever and whenever we are, so that our life becomes easier and more comfortable than before.
However, does anyone think about what problems science and technology have caused to happen in this world? To some degree, it's more serious than that we consider. We human indeed use them to improve our living standard, but on the other hand, we are becoming lazier, more reliable than we used to be. All day long those hi-tech products accompany us, then we have either no space or time to think, as well, communication between each other decreases, and what takes place of it is the huge indifference and gap among human.
To solve these problems, we should in no time take measures to do with them. Firstly, communicate with others and think on your own more. Secondly, decrease the times you use hi-tech tools. For the advantages of technology, we should absorb, at the meantime, be independent and abandon the short-comings. Thus, we could combine technology and human progress much closer and not lose ourselves in this modern society.

Never Give Up
“Never give up” can be very encouraging words, but the majority of youngsters are likely to give up regardless when dealing with the ordinary difficulties of life. As one example, many young people are reluctant to continue their English study when they feel difficulty learning new words. But if one takes “never give up” as a motto, possibilities and opportunities are expanded.
It is true that giving up may make things temporarily easier, but what cannot be denied is that new opportunities arise from perseverance. Never giving up can expand one’s possibility for success. When confronted with something unknown, a little bravery can result in the possibility of success, like when Dr. Fleming discovered penicillin. Meanwhile, the sense of never giving up enhances one’s self-confidence. This makes one more likely to try new things, opening up even more new opportunities. It can even be a benefit to personal relationships.
In view of all factors, never giving up is crucial to the pursuit of dreams. Even though toils lie in the way, success is at the other end.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Cell Phone
Nowadays, with the rapid development of IT, cell phones play a more and more important role in people’s life. But, like everything else, they have both favorable and unfavorable aspects.
First, it’s useful. As a wireless mobile telephone, it’s easy and handy to carry it wherever one goes and call the callee however far away he is. Therefore, it greatly facilitates people’s life. Second, it’s convenient. Whenever one meets trouble or something urgent, one can make a call immediately. Most important of all, it’s a very helpful companion. With a multifunction cell phone in hand, one can easily get on the net, browsing the useful information, conducting e-commerce and doing whatever one can do via Internet.
However, just as everything has two sides, the cell phone also has many disadvantages. To begin with, it’s expensive to buy and costly to pay the bills, esp. that of global service. To make matter worse, it’s also easy to lose and costly to get it repaired. Worst of all, it’s not as clear as a family telephone and sometimes the number dialed is often not available. Last but not least, it’s alleged the micro-waves in it might do harm to people’s health.
In my opinion, with its expenses greatly reduced after China’s entry into the WTO. Someday most of them will be developed into new Internet-enabled mobile phones, which will be as useful as pocket computers. And I believe its advantages will not only offset its disadvantages, but also far outweigh them.

Honesty Is Gold
Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act. He who lies and cheats is dis honest. Those who gain for tunes not by hard labor but by other means are dishonest. Honesty is a good virtue. If you are honest all the time, you'll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon and regarded as a black sheep by the people around. Once you lie, people will never believe you even if you speak the truth.
However, in the tide of commodity economy today, it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice of honesty. To them, among such things as health, beauty, money, intelligence, honesty, reputation and talent, honesty is the only thing that can be cast away. They don't understand or pretend not to understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the prerequisite for doing everything well. I think these people are to be pitied.
In short, honesty is gold. Honest, your reputation will become great; dishonest, your name will be spoiled and your personality degraded. Therefore, we should never make such an excuse as "A little dishonesty is only a trifle thing." We should eradicate immediately the seed of dishonesty once it is sowed in our minds.

Advantage and Disadvantages of Being an Only Child
My father used to talk to me about his five siblings. He used to say that I was unfortunate that I had none. And I used to envy him and wonder how nice it would be to have a houseful of brothers and sisters. I also used to wonder what would happen to me if I were to lose my parents. Frankly speaking, I do not have to share anything with anybody. I own all my parents' love. I can ask for anything I want. I always wear new clothes and eat the best food. Since my parents spend all their money on me, I can study at the best university of the country.
Lucky as I am, I now and then feel very lonely and I have nobody to complain about my loneliness. How I long for a quarrel with my brothers and sisters! Of course I have classmates and friends, but they are different. Sometimes I feel so pessimistic that after my parents leave the world, I will have no blood relatives left to share with me the fond memories of my parents. Furthermore, I am likely to become selfish while I realize the world is for sharing.
So, I am happy but lonely; I am fortunate but piteous; I am loved but spoiled; I am well-bred but selfish, because I am the only child of the family.

About Online course
Online course, as a new teaching method based on computer and Internet allows teachers to give classes from a distance away. It is becoming more than popular in colleges and universities, and acts as an effective complement to traditional teaching.
However, opinions on it differ from teachers to students. Generally, teachers support it for two reasons: Firstly, online course can be conducted at home or office and this offers great convenience to teachers. Secondly, online course releases teachers from repeating the same contents since the video or audio material can be played time and again.
However, many students have opposite standpoints: In the first place, with online course, they lack face-to-face communications with teachers and their confusion cannot be solved instantly. In addition, the computer system cannot be guaranteed to work stably all the time. What’s more, they do not have 100 percent confidence in their self-discipline without teachers being around to supervise.
Personally, with the college students growing up, if the traditional teaching method and the modern ones like on-line course can be combined together, more fruitful education is sure to be realized.

The Generation Gap between Old and Young
Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.
Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom.
