禁止放鞭炮Most of us may still hold a happy memory in our minds: when we were young, the Spring Festival was celebrated with the company of the flaming sparks and the loud explosions of firecrackers. But because of the numerous disasters caused by them, governments in some big cities have completely banned the firecrackers in the downtown areas. Some people are sad about this decision. They argue that they will lose the tradition of the Spring Festival. Regardless of the fires and the damage to human bodies caused by firecrackers, they only focus on the pleasure firecrackers can bring about. With the development of the modern society, more and more changes will take place in our lives, some of which may be great challenges against the traditions, but we should support the governments policy under the consideration of the whole society. Whats more, upon stepping into the new century we should celebrate the Spring Festival in a more civilized way .My view on advertisementsIn the modern information era, one cant avoid being surrounded by various kinds of advertisements. They serve as a direct bridge between manufacturers and consumers. By advertising, manufacturers can easily introduce their products and attract the attention of consumers. On the other hand, consumers will have more opportunities to get to know more about the things they are interested in. However, there are still lots of people who complain that many of the words in advertisements are rather misleading. Some manufacturers spend far too much money on advertising their products without trying to promote the quality of their goods. To make things worse, some people even use false descriptions in their advertisements for the sake of making money. Perhaps it is not advertising that should be blamed. Rather we need to strengthen advertising law. Only under the firm control of government, can advertisements benefit people in the broadest sense. Generation gapNowadays, many young people are complaining that their parents can not understand them very well. They say that their parents take care of every aspect of their lives, leaving them unable to have their private space. Yet, parents are worried that their children dont show any respect to them and never give them any trust. Consequently, a household phrase is spreading. It is the “Generation Gap”. By using this phrase, both the young and the old have found a good explanation for their misunderstanding of each other, yet they dont bother to take any measures to cover the distance between them. In my opinion, I think we should first admit that there are indeed some differences between parents and children. Then, we should try to take some time to communicate with each other frequently. Not only the parents, but also the kids should be equal when exchanging their views. Only by their joint efforts, can the parents and children bridge the generation gap between them.Science and Human Life (2009-01-19 17:26:30)转载标签： 校园分类： 英语With the development of science, human life has changed tremendously. People living in the 18th or 19th centuries would never imagine the advanced household appliances we are now able to enjoy. Every aspect of our lives, for instance, in the field of medicine or agriculture, has witnessed the great improvement through the application of science. However, many people complain that science has also brought disasters to human life. Some evil scientists have used their knowledge to do some illegal things. They may use science for the creation of weapons to destroy thousands of lives in wars; they might also use their knowledge to produce drugs to make a lot of money for themselves. Generally speaking, science has provided us with many valuable things. But if used wrongly, it can also lead to harm. We should try to keep science under our control and put it to the best use for mankind.Lucky numbersSome people think lucky numbers like “6” or “8” will bring them good luck, because they bear a similar pronunciation to the related Chinese characters which mean good luck. As a result, some young couples choose a date in which there is a “6” or “8” to hold their wedding, while many shops choose such dates to celebrate their opening ceremony.However, it is rather ridiculous to think numbers can bring good fortune to people. Ones success has nothing to do with the number one chooses, but is rather related to ones own efforts. Numbers are only numbers. We should not attach too much importance to them. If you really think a lucky number can bring good luck to you, simply choose it, but dont forget to still go out of your way to make your own effort. Without your own contribution, good luck wont simply fall on you automatically.CollegeStudentsGoingtoRuralAreas(2009-01-22 09:05:04)转载标签：校园分类：英语There is a common phenomenon in recent years, more and more students are willing to go to some rural areas to put their knowledge into practical use. In 1993, the number of students going to rural areas was only 5% of the total number of graduates, however, five years later, that percentage has more than doubled.Upon thinking about the reasons for this change, we may find some interesting things. First of all, with the development of society, college students have changed their way of thinking. They are becoming more practical. If they can get a better paid job and if they are more likely to have a nice future in the rural areas, they will no longer stick to the ideal of becoming a citizen in big cities. On the other hand, the government also advocates the choice of working in the rural areas, which encourages more young students to leave the big cities.With the development of a balanced economy, big cities will gradually lessen their attraction for the college graduates.SavingsAs we know, when senior students graduate from school, most of their reference books as well as textbooks, which are still in good condition are thrown away. What a great waste it is!I suggest that we should recycle these books. On the one hand, recycling them can save a lot of natural resources, which can be reused to make textbooks. On the other hand, senior students may have made plenty of useful notes on the pages. They are very helpful to the following users.At present, the whole nation is called on to build an energy-saving society. I think its certainly meaningful to our long-term interests. In fact, in Australia and some other countries, recycling textbooks is popular, which gives us a good example.MyViewsonTraditionMany people, especially the aged hold the idea that we should stick to the traditions of our country, otherwise, they think we will lose our distinctive Chinese character. In their eyes, we should be proud of the great traditions left by our ancestors. We should maintain these old traditions in order to differentiate ourselves from other nations.But many others are strongly opposed to it, they argue that we should not be confined to our own traditions. As to some traditions, they are clearly the obstacles to the development of our society, we should certainly not hesitate to give it up. While on the other hand, tradition may be improved through international communications. We should perhaps not be obsessed with our own traditions. On the contrary, we should be brave enough to take in all the valuable traditions that come from different nations. Only in this way, can our society be run properly and only in this way can we improve our own traditions.Fast foodIn recent years, China has witnessed the prosperity of fast food restaurants in big cities. It is quite easy for people to have meals at KFC or McDonalds. At lunch time, it ishard to find seats in some fast food restaurants.While so many small restaurants are worried about how to attract more customers, foreign fast food restaurants have rushed into China. Why can they draw so many peoples attention? Firstly, fast food is very fast and convenient. People can stuff themselves within several minutes. Secondly, the restaurants offering fast food also provide a very comfortable environment as well as a warm atmosphere. People can not only enjoy the food they have, but can also feel the foreign flavor the restaurants try to display.However, most of the people who regularly go to fast food restaurants rarely realize the fact that, although the food may taste delicious, fast food usually has little nutrition. I think they should eat less for the sake of their health.BooksBooks play an important part in our daily life. There are numerous kinds of books and each one can be categorized according to its content.Books are to human life like food to our bodies. Our lives become colorful because of the existence of books. By reading books, our knowledge can be enriched. From books, we can get to know many unfamiliar things; from books, we can learn how people live in other countries; from books, we can broaden our minds and no longer be isolated in our own living circle In short, books can provide us with so many things.Yet some books are harmful to us. When reading them, we will be greatly affected. Therefore, try to choose good books and read them in a well-planned way.WomenintheModernWorldWomen are playing an increasingly important role today. In many fields of society, you can easily find lots of outstanding women. With their actions and achievements, they have showed that women can do almost everything as equally well as men. Meanwhile, with the changes of their social role, the position of women in the family has also greatly improved.Yet, there is still some discrimination against women. Some organizations refuse to have women employees. Even when women are accepted, they often do not enjoy equal pay for equal work. Furthermore, many husbands still consider their wives as their possessions.In my eyes, women should try to get more opportunities to get educated and try to be independent both mentally and financially. They should never stop fighting for equal rights in society.Competition and Cooperation (2009-01-29 00:19:48)转载标签： 校园分类： 英语 Competition is a common phenomenon in our society. We compete when we play games, we compete in our study, and we constantly compete for jobs, customers and profit, etc. We can say that competition is one of the motives of the development of society. But we often find competition and cooperation go hand in hand. In a football game, one team is competing with the other. But each member of the team is cooperating with his teammates. In most cases, we cant compete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important. While we are advocating competition, we cant forget cooperation. Nothing can be carried to an extreme. Pure and exclusive competition leads to failure. Only when competition combines with cooperation can it help in obtaining our goals and satisfying our needs.TheoryandPracticeWhen talking about the importance of theory and practice, some people think theory is rather empty and abstract, so we should try to practice a lot to obtain our goals; while others maintain that practice is rather too blind and what we really need is to understand profound theories.Both of these viewpoints have their own shortcomings. The former one only focuses on the importance of practice, but in fact, practice without the guidance of theory is just like a car without an engine. The latter one ignores the importance of practice. Paying no attention to the function of practice will only lead to empty words.What we should do is to systematically combine these two viewpoints. In our practice, we should try to study the related theory to make our practice easier. While studying theories, we should try to think in which situations we can put the theories into reality.Diligence(2009-01-31 19:11:52)转载标签：校园分类：英语Diligenceis the key to success.It meanspersistent work and does not mean that we are to exhaust ourselves all day and night without any rest.The true meaning of diligenceis the careful use of time for the purpose of self-improvement.Manypeople strongly believe in luck, which is a serious mistake.Ifluck does exist, it will never fall upon lazy bones.There arealso some people who think thattheyare far superior to others in intelligence and therefore, do not need to study hard. They are sure about their success, but too often they will be disappointed,as few of themcan be successful only with their so-called cleverness.In fact, time is always fleeting and can never be re-gained. The reallycleverpeople are those who understand the importance of diligence and make it their habit.These peopleare on the way to success by their own efforts.CitiesorCountryside(2009-02-02 18:27:40)转载标签：校园分类：英语When asked whether they would prefer to live in a city or the countryside, people tend to have different ideas. People who are in favor of city life may think it is too isolated and rather backward to live in the countryside; while advocates for country life argue that the cities are rather crowded and dirty.In fact, each way of living has its advantages as well as disadvantages. People living in the city can enjoy quick and convenient services, yet never will they have the fresh air breathed by the countrymen. On the other hand, though people living in the country will be close to nature, sometimes they will feel that they have been forgotten by modern society.In my eyes, people should have the freedom to decide where to live. They can make their own decisions according to their own situation.Part-timeJobs(2009-02-08 21:53:17)转载标签：校园分类：英语Nowadays, many students, including some high school students, would like to have some kind of part-time jobs. In their opinion, a part-time job can offer them a good chance to experience the real world outside schools. Additionally, they can get some money from doing this and therefore become somewhat more independent from their parents.However, parents are worried that part-time jobs will influence the studies of students. They think students will not have enough time to learn and rest，and whats more, they fear that early contacts with society, may lead to juvenile delinquency.In fact, it is not a bad thing to take a part-time job, but students should never forget their main responsibility is to study well.DontSpoiltheChildren(2009-02-09 08:19:09)转载标签：校园分类：英语For many years, the “one couple, one child” policy has been carried out in China and it has proved to be an effective way to control the rapid growth of the population in our country. However, the advantages are often accompanied by some disadva
