Should We Celebrate Western Festivals?
Nowadays, Western festivals such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day are gaining increasing popularity in China, especially among college students. But whether we should celebrate these festivals has become a subject of heated discussion.
Some believe celebrating Western festivals is a sign of globalization. They argue that China needs to take in various foreign cultures so as to blend into the mtures. Modern world. And celebrating Western festivals is a good opportunity for the Chinese to know more about other cultures. However, others believe that the Western festivals threaten a kind of cultureal aggresstion. Therefore, we should drive them out lest they should undermine our traditional culture.
In my opinion, as college students, we should preserve the traditional Chinese culture as well as stay open to Western ones. Therefore, while laying emphasis on Chinese festivals, we could also absorb foreign elements.

On College Students’ Career Planning.
Recently, more emphasis has been laid on college students’ career planning. Not only courses on career planning are given, but students are increasingly interested in the topic as well.
But why is there such a phenomenon? For one thing, the labor force market is increasingly competitive, and college students need to learn more about it in order to survive in the cut-throat competition. For another, students are now aware that what they learn in college may become outdated soon after they leave school, so they need career planning to prepare them for new situations in the future.
Students should plan their career based on social needs, their own interest, their specialty, and all the resources that are at hand. They are most likely to have a successful career if they can combine their ideals with the reality.

Fire Prevention on Campus
Occasionally news is heard that a fire disaster broke out in some university. Sometimes such disasters casue heavy losses. Not only buildings and other property aer destroyed, but many students have lost their health or even lives because of the fire. Therefore, it is vital to prevent fire disasters on campus.
Though most fires on campus can well be regarded as accidents, several factors can be distinguished as contributing to them. On the one hand, the student who is responsible for the fire may have been too careless; on the other, the school is also to blame for not paying enough attention to fire prevention.
In order to prevent fire disasters on campus, from my point of view, students shuld strictly abide by the fire regulations of the school. Universities, too, should make an effort to keep the campus a safe place for students to live in.

Writing
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Behave Poitely in Public. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.
在许多公共场合可以看到各种不文明想象
提倡文明之风的原因及其重要性
号召公众共同立文明之风
Behave Poitely in Public.
Many people do not behave themselves in public places. They talk loudly, little freely, jump queues, and ignore traffic regulations. Some even scratch in tourist attractions, leaving marks on scenic spots.
It is important to behave politely in public. On the one hand, uncivilized behavior in public places causes trouble. It brings inconveniences to others, pollutes the environment and makes one unpopular or even disgustful. On the other hand, when one behaves well in public, he can always win friendship and respect from others. Therefore, he is more likely to succeed in the fierce competition.
In order to create a harmonious society, we all should behave ourselves in public. As the Chinese saying goes, “Don’t do to others what you do not want to be done to you.” If we were all considerate and behave well in public places, this world would be a better place to live in.

College Students’ Booklist
The table shows the change of college students’ choice of books from 1989 to 2009. Obviously, novels and books of philosophy and society have declined greatly in importance, while books of foreign languages and computer science have been gaining popularity.
This phenomenon involves several complicated factors. In the first place, college students need to study foreign langauges and computer science well, because there is a pressing need for those skills in the employment market. In the next place, novels are still popular though the sales decreased due to the availability of the internet. Most popular books can be read online.
I have bought many computer books because computer is my major. Moreover, computer science often witnesses fast changes, thus in order to keep up with its latest development, I have to buy new books to constantly arm myself with new information.
