Respecting Local Characteristics
Recently a heated debate was triggered off by the report that a little-known mountainous area near Guiyang, Guizhou Province plans to turn itself into a central business district with unconventional, super-futuristic buildings, never paying appropriate attention to its local characteristics. Some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design, whereas others hold that the design should suit its local conditions and reflect its regional characteristics or cultural heritage. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the latter.
Firstly, any urban design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account. Functional and harmonious architectures are needed to suit the life of the people there. In a mountainous area, unconventional and super-futuristic buildings are incompatible with its landscapes and they usually prove to be unsuited to the climate. Besides, the disappearance of its original features may mean the disappearance of a period of history and even the disappearance of its symbol and identity.
Secondly, the form of traditional buildings anywhere in the world is influenced by local climate and geology. Therefore, the design well suited to local conditions can save a lot of money. As a small developing mountainous area near Guiyang, it should try to take good advantage of its local resources. Over the centuries, the local materials have become the raw material used by sophisticated and expert craftsmen. If it falsely understood “progress〞, wanted to be “modern〞 at any price, despised the outstanding features of its traditional culture and attempted to introduce reinforced concrete buildings, it would impose great pressure on its people. In addition, such buildings require expensive maintenance which is a heavy burden for its people.
Thirdly, it will take a long period of time before local people can truly be accustomed to and appreciate the unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. Lived in the traditional buildings for generations, local citizens are very likely to feel uncomfortable and uneasy surrounded by such super-futuristic buildings, let alone to appreciate them.
To sum up, a good design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account and suit to local conditions. It should also try to take advantage of local resources and avoid imposing unnecessary burden on the local people. Besides, it is sensible to build what local people can accept and feel comfortable with.

Are Dialects Just as Acceptable in Public Places
In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.

It is known to all that Mandarin, or putonghua, is the standard language in China’s service sector. However, recently quite a few employees at metropolis subway stations start using dialects to better serve people from different areas of China. As a result, the opinion on this practice varies from person to person. Some people regard it as a useful supplement of the current service, while others see the countering effects of such movement to the national policy of promoting mandarin across China. From my point of view, I believe dialects are acceptable in public places. Although Mandarin, or putonghua is promoted widely and vigorously in accordance with the national policy, dialects are still acceptable in public places.
First of all, dialects are a kind of culture instead of merely a tool for communication. They represent their respective and distinct cultures. If dialects are totally banned from our daily use or even eliminated from our lives, the cultures will be incomplete or even gradually disappear.
Secondly, dialects can enrich the content of Mandarin, or putonghua so as to promote its long-term and healthy development. The dialect in Northeast China brings a lot of fun and happiness to the majority of the Chinese in recent years through television and Internet. Such a cultural phenomenon demonstrates the audience’s attitude towards local dialects which are capable of catering to the taste of the majority of the Chinese people.
Thirdly, dialects are also the only way of communication for those undereducated local people. If local dialects are forbidden in the public places, they cannot communicate smoothly. Last but not least, dialects are capable of bringing people together. It is often the case that people feel close to and tend to trust those who speak the same dialects with them, which will surely promote the harmony of the society.
Therefore, I can naturally and safely come to the conclusion that local dialects should be tolerated and accepted in public places for their unique role in the society which Mandarin, or Putonghua cannot replace. We should guarantee their existence because they stand for our cultures. From a long-term perspective, dialects should not and would not be prohibited. There is no need for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects. The best way to protect dialects is to use them in daily life and pass them down from generation to generation.

What I have learned from my years at university
Before I went to university, it seemed to be such a holy place. As for me, it meant glory, respect, freedom, knowledge and a promising future. However, it was not until I entered the university that I realized it was not the whole story. I have learned much from my four years at university, such as hard work, self-control, friendship and teamwork.
University is a highly competitive place. If you don't want to lag behind other students, you have to study very hard. Besides, the pressure of hunting for a desirable job after graduation also forces you to grasp every minute to equip yourself with as much knowledge as possible. Self-control is another thing that I have learned in university. Here, the absence of parents' control and the loose control of the school give me more freedom. In addition, university is vulnerable易受袭击旳 to social influences. So I have to learn how to control myself. I try to arrange my life properly, which, on the other hand, prevents me from indulging in seeking pleasure, and on the other hand, enables me to enjoy university life.
University life makes me have a deeper understanding of friendship. Friendship has become an important part of my life that I can not live without. Far away from my parents, my friends have become my dearest family members. When I feel lonely, they always sit beside me, let me pour out my secrets to them, and softly comfort me. When I am in trouble and feel helpless, it is my friends who reach out their hands and help me out.
Last but not least, university teaches me the importance of teamwork. There are lots of activities in university that you can not accomplish on your own, but have to rely on your cooperation with other people. Cooperation, in turn, relies on effective communication. Effective communication builds on mutual understanding. Thus, I have to try my best to let my cooperators understand me, just as I do my best to understand them.
In a few months' time, I am going to graduate from university. Looking back into the past four years, I must say that my university life is a worthwhile experience. What I have learned here has made a good preparation for my future life. If I were given another chance, I would like to relive it.
Time flies, do you believe that I have been a junior in so short time that I think I am just a freshman. What more serious thing is that I did not realize this term has passed half already when I thought I did not do anything benefit to myself, especially to my studying. During the more than two years’ university life, I have really realized the stress from the studying and the social, though the life seems still very ordinary and leisure. However, I have learned many valuable principles and life experience from my years at university, which will be very useful in my lifetime, especially will be good to my work in the society.
First of all, after studying in the university these years, I really want to say that our senior middle schools’ teachers treated us. The studying in university is not so comfortable just as they said which also needs us to study hard to really improve our abilities. Only in the university, I really know what is individual study and how important of lifetime studying. Even if we leave the school to the society, we also need to study and it is very benefit to our improvement.
Besides, the most impressed thing to me is that we need to save and value time. Just as the old saying: Time is money. In the fast rhythm life nowadays, time is more important. We must learn to increase of the efficiency, especially in our careers in the future.
What’s more, these years in the university I deeply realized that the importance of the teamwork. As a monitor, I really think that a good team will gain more than what it need and use less time. So how to establish a good team is especially important to us which are very benefit to our future work. However the university is a good place to learn it.
University is the epitome of our society; we need to work hard in it to prepare well for entering the society.
What I have learned from my years at university
What have I learned from my years at university Frankly speaking, I seem to remain untouched or intact. Standing by the window lost in thought for a long time, I realize that nothing in the world remains unchanged: the course of life never runs smooth, for there are so many ups and downs, twists and turns.
Firstly, self-esteem equips me for life's challenges. It is as essential as the air we breathe. It makes me feel worthy and confident about who I am and believe in my intrinsic value. Hence, I’m able to face the reality and be adult in my responses to life’s challenges. Secondly, courage and acceptance lead me to the road of success. A man without failures, in some sense, is a poor man. Of course I will fall into a “well〞 or something else. Life is going to shovel dirt on me, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to accept the situation, stop wailing and be courageous enough to shake the dirt off and take a step up. Actually each one of my troubles is a stepping stone. Only with courage and acceptance can I get out of the deepest wells. Thirdly, my distinctive individuality or something special of mine make me stand out. I may have my peculiar insight into an issue and not be controlled by anyone else. I may have my style in terms of study and extra activities.
What I have learned from my years at university seems plain but it is hard for me to acquire them totally because a person is never too old to learn. All I can do is to go on pursuing them.
What I Have Learned from My Years at University
More than two thousand years ago, Confucius, one of the greatest philosophers and educators in Chinese history, sigh with grief while standing on the river and compared the transient passage of time to the flowing water. With a blink of eyes, I will graduate from this university a few months later. At this moment, I think I have a deeper understanding of this great thinker’s saying. Thinking of my impending graduation, I am excited but meanwhile I am upset, mixed with some other feelings beyond words. Looking back the details of the past few years, I can’t help asking myself, “What have I learned from my years at university〞
In my opinion, this question is one that every one of us can’t avoid.
I think what I have learned in the passing years is that I have gained more knowledge and acquired some basic professional skills, which will lay a sound foundation for my future career.
Through the involvement of various social activities and participation in different clubs and association, I got to know more friends as well as my classmates. By getting along with them, I have acquired some useful communicative skills and begin to know how to understand and appreciate others, which I suppose, will be expected to play an important role in my future life. More importantly, I have gained the abilities to handle the problems and deal with crises independently.
If it is safe to say that I have ever achieved some achievements at university, first I’d like to attribute them to my teachers, classmates and friends. Had not been for their staunch support and unselfish aid, I wouldn’t have reached one goal after another. With them I have established an intimate relationship and it is believed that I will continue to benefit from it.
In the spare time, I often went to take part in some sports with my friends. I have been fond of playing table tennis and badminton. And I went to the gym once or twice a week with them. By going in for the sports, I became stronger and stronger and I am sure you will see everything when you see my robust constitution.
Before I went to college, I had been somewhat bashful
