8、n we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life. 5. About Internet(论因特网)Internet has its good as well as bad sides. Internet can help people a lot, but it also has many disad
9、vantages. For example, there are some sexy news and pictures on the website which will not do well to the young people. So young people should learn to get ride of the disadvantages of internet and learn to make use of the advantages that internet brings to us. On the other hand, internet can let me
10、 know the outside world, make me informed of daily news, and it has brought joy and interest into my lives. So we should make good use of the internet. 6.

It makes us informed of daily news, lets us know the outside world, provides lessons for learners, and it
15、 has brought joy and interest into people’s lives. Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Violent movies are shown on TV programs. Children regard the murders as heroes or models, so they imitate. Therefore there happened many murders or shooting cases in A
16、merican campuses. What a big harm. So young people should learn to get ride of the bad influences of TV and learn to make use of the advantages that TV brings us 9. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mobile Phone.(手机的优点和缺陷)Like everything else, mobile phones have both favorable and unfavorable asp
17、ects. First, it's useful. As a wireless mobile telephone, it's easy and handy to call wherever one goes and call the one however far away he is. Second, it's convenient. Whenever one meets trouble or something urgent, one can make a call immediately. However, the mobile phone also has many disadvant
18、ages. First, it's expensive to buy and costly to pay the bills. Second, it's also easy to lose and costly to get it repaired.

19、 people ask me what day you always remember in your life, I can answer the question quickly. It was March 12th, . Our teacher Mr. Zhu led us to a park near the school. We went there to take part in voluntary labor. We got there at 9 a.m. Mr. Zhu divided us into three groups and then we began working
20、 Group One was responsible to plant trees and water flowers. Group Two were busy collecting litter left by the tourists. I was in Group Three.

21、ered my service. I will never forget the day in my memory. 11. Bad Manners in Public.(公共场所的坏习惯)Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced beings living in a civilized society, bad manners can still be found here and there. For example, some cyclists run the red traffic lights, many passenger
22、s litter waste papers and plastic bags in public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourist attractions, let alone spit on the street. In the cinema, some audience talk loudly on cell phones in front of others. I’m strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behavior shows no respect
23、at all to others; what’s worse, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun. 12. Can Money Buy Happiness? (不一样的人对金钱能买来幸福持有不一样的观点。我的观点)Can money buy happiness? The answer varies among people. Some believe that money is the source of happiness because money provides food for the hungry,
24、medicine for the sick and clothes for the needy. While others hold that money is the root of evils because it is the devil of money that drives a person to lie, cheat, steal, and worst of all, to murder. In my opinion, money is essential to being well-off, but not necessarily to well-being. Happines
25、s is a state of mind, not something that can be bought. All in all, happiness is less a matter of buying what we want than a wanting what we have. 13. Changes in My life(我生活的变化)There have been many changes in my life. With the development of the economy, my life is better off. For clothing, I h
26、ave spare money to buy all sorts of pretty clothes. But in the past, there were fewer clothes in my wardrobe. For food, I usually had traditional Chinese food for every meal, rice, noodles or a steamed bun. Nowadays, I can afford any delicious food, including western food. For housing, I moved from
27、a cramped and gloomy room to a big and bright flat. For getting around, I rode an old bike on my way to work a year ago. At present, I drive my private car to travel. I believe my life will become better in the near future. 14. Choosing a job(找工作)Different people have different requirements of choo
28、sing a good job. Some think a decent salary is the most important factor while others regard training and experience to be the key factor.As far as I’m concerned, it’s more important to accumulate experience than get high salary. Rich experience offers people more opportunities to earn money. Beside
29、s, the more working experience you gain, the more competitive you will become. It makes people more confident. Therefore, it’s important to know yourself and find a job which brings you bright prospects. 15. City life and suburban life(论城市生活和郊区生活)Different people have different views on life in ci
30、ty or suburb. Some people prefer to live in city while others prefer to live in suburb.It is true that living in big city is convenient and entertaining. There are restaurants, supermarkets, shopping malls in your neighborhood. You can easily buy any stuff you need. In contract, living in suburb is
31、quite different. It serves fresh air and beautiful scenery and the most important thing is quietness. For me, I like to live in big city because of the colorful life and convenience for working. 16. Difficulty in Studying English英语学习的困难Since I am now working in an American company where I have to u

Whenever I’m tired, I can have a good rest at home. Whenever I feel sad, my parents will come to comfort me
34、 Whenever I’m happy, I can share my joy with my family members. I live in Shanghai. There are two bedrooms and a living room in my home. Although the flat is not big, I feel comfortable to live there. It is near my company, so I can ride a bike to work everyday. During the weekends, I will do some

Although some people will avoid failure at all costs, some people welcome it. Failure can be a good teacher. It always teach
36、es us to be better the second time around. As they say, "The more you try, the more you'll succeed." There is some wisdom to be learned from failure. If we can learn to turn a failure to our advantage, we will have learned another secret to success. Failure is the mother of success and success that
37、comes after failure is so sweet. 19. Friendship论友谊Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make friends.

41、 they can buy whatever they want with money. But I disagree with them. In my opinion, health is more important than wealth. If you are in good health, you can do a lot of things you want and enjoy them while you are doing so. And of course you can work to better off you life. So I think health is mo
42、re important for me than wealth. 22. Honesty is the best policy(老实乃上策)There is an English proverb saying "Honesty is the best policy." It tells us the importance of honesty.
