06年6月 On students selecting lecturers
Recently, some universities have begun allowing students to choose the lecturers for some courses. This is no doubt a creative and bold move.
There are many reasons responsible for this brand-new change. Firstly, students are convinced that teachers should not only be knowledge but also responsible enough to be qualified. Secondly, they think lectures should have their own styles, and it is very important to make their classes more interesting. The last but not the least, the school is trying to figure out new ways to make education more efficient.
This change can lead to both benefits and problems. On the one hand, more outstanding lecturers are found in this way, therefore, the students can learn more efficiently. On the other hand, schools can give too much power to students so that they may avoid some less interesting but necessary courses. So the schools still need to do some adjustments to make this reform work better.

07年12月 What electives to choose
At present, many universities offer a variety of elective coursed and many college students prefer to have electives in their spare time.
The students choose different types of electives for following reasons. To start with, many students want to get another degree besides their own, so that they can be more competent when they seek a job. Secondly, some students want to learn anything that is different from what they are learning now. The science students, for example, want to know about Shakespeare while the art students want to tell how a vehicle works and how to deal with it when it breaks down.
As for me, I don’t care about the degree. I just want to obtain some necessary skills to make my college life worthwhile. What I’m concerned most is how to own more skills that may be necessary for my future.

08年6月 Recreational activities
With the improvement of living standard, there are various recreational activities, apart from studying or working ranging from Karaoke or dancing to computer games or sports games.
Such activities are beneficial as well as harmful to us if undertaken inappropriately, just as a coin has two sides. On one hand, recreational activities can help us not only build our body and mind but also improve our communication skills because most of these activities are done with others. On the other hand, if we spend too much time on singing, dancing or other games, we might fail to concentrate on our duties such as studying or working, which in turn may lead to bad consequences.
As far as I’m concerned, recreational activities should be done within a certain limit so that we can keep a proper balance between recreation and studying or working life.

08年12月 Limiting the use of disposable plastic bags
Disposable plastic bags were once widely used in China. When we went shopping at supermarkets, shopping assistants often provided free plastic bags for our convenience. For most of us, life without them seemed unimaginable.
However, disposable plastic bags do bring severe damage to our environment. People usually throw them away after use, and because they are hard to decompose, these plastic products will exist for a long time. This is an immediate threat to our earth.
Nowadays, the government has passed relevant regulation for limiting the use of disposable plastic bags: they are not free any more. As a result, people are changing their behavior: back to our daily life. It is true that by limiting its usage, everyone will contribute some effort to the improvement of the environment.

09年6月 Free admission to Museums
An increasing number of museums are open to the public for free nowadays. The goal of free admission to museums is crystal clear. It guarantees that more people, poor or rich, have access to the museums-the prefect combinations of entertainment and education for all ages.
Everything has two sides, so does the free admission conduct. Open free, some famous museums might face a tide of culture-hungry people which threaten to overwhelm their facilities. For example, on the first day when the Military Museum of the Chinese People’s Revolution offered free admission to the public, thousands of visitors flew into the museum, crowded its washrooms and left litter everywhere. Worse still, some parents allowed their children to use a missile boat as a slide.
I am in favor of the free admission contact, yet I think that museums should take some measures to solve the potential problems. For example, they can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some “closed” days for regular maintenance. Only in this way will free admission to museums last long.

09年12月 Creating a green campus
As an increasing number of people are concerned about environment protection, it is widely agreed that creating a green campus is vitally important.
A green campus means much more than planting trees, flowers or grass on the campus or having indoor plants in the school buildings. It means that everyone on campus, including faculty members and students, should be aware of the importance of environment protection and make an effort to contribute to environment protection in whatever he does.
So what can we do to create a green campus? First, there should be a year-round campaign on campus to keep everyone constantly aware of the significance of environment protection. Second, whatever we do, we should take environment protection into consideration and make it a habit to save printing paper, water, and other resources. Finally, new technology should be introduced for this purpose.

10年6月 Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling
There is a universal phenomenon among college students that in English learning they don’t attach much importance to spelling, which can find expression in the fact that numerous mistakes will arise in their compositions.
I reckon that the primary reason why the majority of students ignore spelling in their English learning is that computers are performing increasingly important role in our daily life. Mostly, there is no need for us to use our pen or pencil when we compose an article or submit our assignments to the teachers. Therefore the students acquire more and more skills in computer operation. Yet, their spelling mistakes in their articles are accumulating.
In order to untangle the problem, we are supposed to enable students to minimize the usage of computers in our daily life, and the teachers are expected to maximize the chance for students in writing on paper.

10年12 How Should Parents Help Children to be Independent
Nowadays, there is a growing concern over such a phenomenon, that is, some parents take care of almost everything concerned with their children, including study, work, and marriage. Some parents believe that this is love, however, it is only to destroy children’s independence thoroughly.
For the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent. The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the importance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from childhood. Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world.
The quality of independence is so indispensable for us that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator. And only with parent’s trust, can the next generation accumulate confidence step by step.

11年6月  Online Shopping
With the development of the Internet, shopping is no longer a tiring thing. Just click your mouse to choose the articles you like, and the purchase is done. You don't even have to step out of the room. It seems all easy and quick.
However, people's opinions vary on this trend. Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving. With plentiful selection options, they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient. Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough, not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.
In my opinion, the convenience and excitement of on line shopping is beyond all doubts. In the meantime, we must always bear in mind that certain traps do exist, so we'd better make sure the sellers are trustworthy before buying. In addition, we should also guard ourselves from the potential hackers who might steal our account information.
