2. 造成水资源短缺的原因。
3. 怎样缓解缺水问题及保护水资源。

People can’t imagine life without water. Without it, the earth we live on would be a dead one. There would be no trees, no crops, no animals and no people. So water is considered to be next to oxygen in importance.

Although nearly three quarters of the earth's surface is covered with water, it is sea water and undrinkable. The demand for water is increasing, while water resources are scarce.

Life Is a Struggle——生命在于奋斗

提纲：
1. 生命在于奋斗
2. 举例说明勇于奋斗的英雄人物
3. 作为学生，我们应该向他们学习，在知识的海洋中，奋斗不息

Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem—A Psalm of Life: “In the world’s blood field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!”

Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical “hero in the strife”. He was not only one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life, though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music.

As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailing against the current. I must make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness. Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven, I shall take great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in the rough sea of knowledge.

Be an Optimist——做一个乐观的人

提纲：
1．对待同一问题的两种回答代表两种人生态度
2．乐观主义的好处和悲观主义的坏处
3．每个人都应做个乐观的人

Do you see the glass as half-full rather than hall empty? The two different answers to the question represent two different attitudes towards life—optimistic attitude and pessimistic attitude.

Optimism always leads to happiness, health and success while pessimism, by contrast, results in hopelessness, sickness and failure. That's because optimists and pessimists deal with the same challenges and disappointments in very different ways. When things go wrong the pessimist tends to blame himself, while the optimist looks for loop holes. The optimist feels in control of his oval life. If things are going badly, he acts quickly, looking for solutions, forming a new plan of action, and seeking for advice. On the contrary, the pessimist yields to the arrangement of fate and moves slowly. He doesn't seek advice, since he assumes nothing can be done.

Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism. Optimism is important in all aspects of our lives. If you can change your mind from pessimism to optimism, you can change your life.

1．做个好的倾听者是非常重要的。有效地倾听是……
2．善于倾听的好处
3．我们怎样做才能成为一个好的倾听者

It is quite important to be a good listener. Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.

Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more amiable person. As you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish, as you simply listen more intently to what is being said, you will feel more relaxed, and so will the people you are talking to. Not only will being a better listener make you a more patient person, but it will also improve your relationship with others because everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.

It is quite easy for you to be a better listener. As long as you for get yourself and imagine yourself in the speaker's experience to understand the emotion behind the words, and then give your appropriate responses slowly, you will be an endeared listener.

Punctuality——论守时

提纲：
1．守时者与不守时者的区别
2．不守时的危害
3．结论

A punctual person is in the habit of doing things at proper time in a planned way and is always keeping his appointment. He knows that if he wants to succeed in his work and society he must observe regular or appointed time. The unpunctual mall, on the contrary, seldom does what he bas to do at the set time. If he has made an appointment with someone, he never cares about the appointed time and is likely to be late for half an hour.

Unpanetuality is very harmful. Friends sometimes grow cold to wards each other, or even become enemies, because one of them has been remiss in keeping appointments. Imagine how it would be if those who are entrusted with important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends, his classmates or colleagues.

There is a proverb which says, "There is a time for everything." This is true. In fact time is life itself, and the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and is no doubt fond of punctuality.

Recreations——娱乐

提纲：
1．娱乐是我们生活中的重要组成部分
2．娱乐包括体力和脑力的休闲活动
3．两种休闲的平衡

Recreations are an important part of people's life. For example, after hours of attentive study, students will feel like having a football game to relax their nerves. Workers may find it very satisfying to sit in front of a TV set for an hour or two when they come back from a day's tiring work. Besides, recreations serve as a pleasant way for the retired people to pass their job-free time. Everywhere you go, you will find that people are engaged in recreational activities in their spare time.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of recreations: physical activities and intellectual activities. Physical activities keep one fit and develop team spirit. Basketball is an example. Intellectual activities, such as playing chess and reading novels, can train one's brain and provide temporary escape from one’s troubles.
In my opinion, there should be a balance between the two forms of activities. This is because physical activities are necessary for good health while intellectual activities are beneficial to one's mind. There fore, in order to make his life enjoyable and colorful, one should go in for both kinds of pastimes.

The Importance of Goal-setting——树立目标的重要性

提纲：
1．为什么树立目标很重要
2．许多成功人士都有明确的目标
3．没有目标，生活就没有意义

Why is goal-setting important? Because goals can help you do and experience every meaningful thing you hope for in life. Instead of letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people have visions of what their life should be and they set lots of goals, both short-term and long-range, to help them realize the visions. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It is like having a map to show where you want to go. A driver with an aim arrives at the destination without any waste of time or wrong turns. On the contrary, a driver with no aim drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere and just using up gas and oil. Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Goals are not difficult to set and they are not difficult to reach. It is up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are.

Without a goal, you have to live a passive life. You do not know where to go, what you want and why you are listless. Then your life be comes dull and meaningless just like the dead water in a muddy lake.

Should Married Women Take up Careers?——已婚妇女是否应该从业?

提纲：
1．我赞同已婚妇女有自己的事业
2．妇女从业的原因
3．鼓励妇女行使选择权，抛弃陈旧观点，积极从业

It is a common belief that married women are house-wives and men are the bread-winners. But I think it is a good idea for married women to have a career. Career women are helpful both to their families and to society.

First, if the wife works as well as the husband, the extra money is very useful. The family can have a better life more clothes for the children. Besides, men will be less burdened and is able to enjoy life rather than working too hard as the only money earner. Second, and what's more important, women's job is not necessarily just to look after children at home. Women are just as good as men at almost everything, except things requiting physical strength. But in some fields requiring special carefulness and patience, women have proved to be better than men.

And I think women have the right to decide upon this choice. Whether she wants to stay at home or go and find a job, it is her right and it should not be affected by others’ ideas.
