Topic1 On making mistakes
"The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything." Obsolete as it may sound, the saying is quite sensible. It indicates that to err is human, as was remarked centuries ago by Alexander Pope, the renowned British poet. Strangely enough, people exert great efforts to avoid making mistakes, which actually are part of our life. Let's name but a few. First, we may take the wrong steps when we first learn to toddle, and fall over. However, we learn how to walk and run from it. Second, we may make friends with someone who is a hypocrite, and get hurt.

Topic2 On manner of dealing with people
Confucius once said, "Do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you", which is an important principle in dealing with the interpersonal relationship. It tells us that we should put ourselves in others' shoes when we get along with others However, in reality, chances are good that people do things in their own way and fail to take others' feelings into consideration. There may be no better example than living in the dormitory. For example, in the same dormitory some like playing video games with a loudspeaker, but others like quietness and enjoy reading. Some like to stay up late with the light on, but others get used to sleep early. As a result, all may dislike each other and the dormitory life may become chaotic. In short, mutual understanding is indeed vital in dealing with others. That's why the first thing I will do in social interaction is to be more considerate, thinking of others' feelings more. What's more, I will try to be as polite as possible and show my sincerity all the time, always treating others as I'd like to be treated myself.

Topic3 Dare to be different
Coco Chanel, founder of the world famous French brand Chanel, remarked: "In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different." The quote not only summarizes the secret of Chanel, but also reveals the jungle law of our society: it gains the competitive edge to be different. If you are different from others, you are hard to be replaced, because others don't have special qualities as you do. However, if you don't stand out, the situation is wholly different. China, for example, was known for its cheap labor, which made the products "Made in China" popular in the world. But now, China is being replaced by countries like Vietnam for their cheaper labor. After all, the Chinese model has nothing special and is easy to copy. On the contrary, the American design, for their distinction and originality, has nearly met no rivals yet. As for me, the most important thing to be different and irreplaceable is to dare to be myself. First, I will do what I like to do and what I'm good at. What's more, I will keep learning skills to keep improving myself. And I will speak out and dare to present the opposite views.

Topic4 On information
The advent of the Internet has brought us into an era of information explosion. Many people embrace the new information age, cheering "information is king"; while others are skeptical, saying "Information is pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience." I tend to agree with the latter, because experience is the catalyst to make information valuable. There is no doubt that the importance of information becomes so self-evident, but without experience information can be futile or even fatal. Take Ma Su as an example. As a smart disciple of Zhuge Liang, the legendary figure in the Romance of Three Kingdoms, he was good at analyzing information and coming up with brilliant military tactics But when appointed commander in a real battle, he met his Waterloo for the lack of hands-on experience. In order to make information more useful, we need experience to guide us how to make the best of information. Of course, we should gather useful information first. But what is more important is to apply the information to practical use and accumulate as much valuable experience as possible, which can make information "thick" and work in our favor.

Topic5 On obstacles
There is a saying that goes, "Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal." Simple as it sounds, the intended meaning is more than profound. It is indicated in the quote that if we stick to our goal, we will triumph over any adversity and no longer see them as obstacles. For instance, I once had to make a tough decision after my failure in the college entrance examination: to accept what life throws at me or to try it again. Since college was my dream, finally I decided to do it again despite the prospect that I had to bear more pressure than ever. Life didn't let me down again due to my determination and hard work. Adversity is a challenge for cowards but an opportunity for the brave Therefore, every time adversity blocks my way, I always tell myself not to fear and keep reminding myself of where I am heading. Moreover, I will cope with obstacles by analyzing the problems and finding the solution to them. I have faith that I can overcome any obstacle and finally get to my destination.

Topic6 On preparation
There goes a famous saying, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." It is indicated in the remark that the importance of preparation can never be underestimated. If one doesn't get well prepared before taking action, chances are good that he/she will be doomed to fail. Getting ready is the secret to success. If you don't develop adequate abilities, gather enough experience or prepare yourself mentally, you can hardly succeed. The sports world abounds in examples which demonstrate this point. Li Na, the greatest Chinese female tennis player, had practiced hard for many years and played countless matches both at home and abroad and suffered so many losses before she won the championships in the French Open and the Australian Open. James Harden, one of the NBA talents, used to be a bench player for the Thunder, but years of preparation made him the backbone of the Rockets. As a college student, in order to avoid failure in the future, what I can do is to make full use of everyday. In other words, I will master as many core skills and knowledge as possible, and get myself ready for my future career.

Topic7 Challenge yourself
A famous saying goes, "Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you'll find is that you can overcome anything", which means that by attempting something really difficult and outside of your comfort zone, you will tap into your potentials and discover how strong you really are. I find no better example than my English learning experience. Before college, I was quite good at English reading and writing, but my oral English is was rather disappointing. What's worse, I was so shy that I even seldom spoke in public. I thought I could never speak fluent English. However, my fondness of English encouraged me to open my mouth. Constantly, I challenged myself to make English speeches in class and practiced speaking with foreign teachers. Two years later, I made great strides in oral English and could speak English with foreigners freely. You never know how potential you are until you challenge yourself. Therefore, I think there are many things I can try to challenge myself daily to better myself, such as getting up early each day and learning more English words, talking to one stranger each day, ditching one bad habit in a month.

Topic8 On success
There is such a saying, "you can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." This saying not only emphasizes the importance of courage for success but also indicates that courage is the first step toward success. Indeed, having the courage to take the first step to act is quite essential for success. As we all know, human beings are great thinkers, capable of coming up with brilliant schemes. Yet from scheme to success there is a long way to go. Without the boldness to make the first step, no scheme can translate into success. Take Bill Gates as an example. If he had not been bold enough to choose to drop out of Harvard and embark on a software business venture, he might not be able to build up his Microsoft Empire. As a college student, I think the first step to success for me is to dedicate myself to study and to learn more useful skills, which will pave the way for my future career. I know for sure that if I don't work hard, I have no chance to savor the beautiful scenery beyond the ocean.

Topic9 Doubt and Faith
In an age where faith appears to be questioned at every turn, some people hold that doubt should be smothered the very moment it arises in case it taints our faith. However, more people believe in the saying, "Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith", which indicates that doubt can actually reinforce our faith. History is never short of stories which can demonstrate the point. As I see, the best case in point is Confucianism As a doctrine held high by the Chinese dynasties and a faith highly praised by people, Confucianism has been doubted many times in Chinese history. However, doubts about Confucianism did not triumph over but gave rise to transformation which kept pace with the development of society. So in today's China, neo-Confucianism is still popular and held as a moral rule to some extent. As to how I will keep my own faith, I will not fear to expose my faith to doubt and let it be challenged. Doubt about my faith will urge me to explore and to verify it. Besides, I will keep learning and expanding my knowledge to defend my faith and stay strong in it.

Topic10 On imagination
"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." The quote stresses the importance of imagination by making a comparison with logic. It recognizes the power of logic on one hand, but on the other hand, it puts the accent on imagination, the engine of social development. Logic is important in certain ways, but it is imagination that is the driving force of human civilization. For example, in the past cell phones were only used for making a call. But later they became similar to the computer and had more and more functions because of great imagination. Indeed, they were produced on the basis of logic, including electron or mechanistic theories, but all the innovation should be more credited to human imagination, without which logic would have no role to play. As a college student, in order to be imaginative, first I would keep learning and accumulating knowledge rather than sit idling. Second, I would stand upon the shoulders of giants, that is to say, I would borrow ideas from great figures all over the world to draw inspiration. With the above two steps combined, I hope I can become imaginative in many ways.

Topic11 The impact of online games on college students
As is showed vividly in the picture, a college student is drawn into a whirlpool of addiction to online games and abandons his study totally. The picture reveals a serious problem that nowadays many college students indulge themselves in playing online games and tells us how harmful playing too much online games is. First, online games gravely distract students' attention from their study, which may lead to neglecting their study and then affect their future. Second, these games endanger the students' health. Sitting in front of the computer and staring at the screen for hours on end do harm to students' eyesight as well as their mental condition. Third, online games are likely to deteriorate students' moral values. Since many online games are about violence, students may unconsciously accept the false principles and values in the games and believe that violence is a good way to settle disagreements. As college students, we should be fully aware of the harmfulness of online games. And instead of wasting time on these games, we should make full use of our valuable college years to learn as much as we can.

Topic12 On Dissatisfaction with University Majors
Complaints about majors can often be heard in today's universities and many college students are dissatisfied with their majors. Why are there so many students feeling discontent with their majors, despite the fact that they themselves made the choice before entering university? First, some universities fail to select the up-to-date textbooks for students. It is said that some textbooks are still talking about what happened 20 years ago as "current affairs", which will surely disappoint the readers. Second, some majors are indeed less competitive in the job market and the graduates do have difficulty in finding a job. To address this problem, from my standpoint, universities should replace the out-of-date textbooks with up-to-date ones. Besides, it is necessary to adjust the setting of majors according to the social needs. What's more, students should understand that it is more important to develop the ability to learn in the university and do not look from a practical perspective at every course.

Topic13 On College Students' Taking Part in Social Practice
A common phenomenon in colleges today is that students are highly involved in social practice which consists of part-time jobs, internships, voluntary works, etc. There have been different opinions on this issue. Some people are in favor of this phenomenon in that social practice helps students to gain experience and knowledge beyond their textbooks. More participation in social activities, therefore, does more good to college students in this regard. However, other people hold a quite different point of view. Helpful as it seems to be, social practice is likely to distract students from their study. If a student spends too much time taking part in social practice, he may not be able to concentrate on his study, which is very harmful for him. As a college student, I believe I should focus on my study. But if time permitted, I will definitely participate in some social practice to enhance my comprehensive abilities.

Topic14 On PE Lessons in Universities
PE lesson, which is commonly one part of the curriculum, has long been under discussion in terms of its necessity in universities. Students, of course, hold different views in regard to it. Some think that PE lessons are not important as they often do extracurricular activities by themselves, such as playing football and going swimming. Others maintain that they should have more PE lessons. Firstly, PE lessons are helpful for the maintenance of their physical fitness. Secondly, PE lessons provide them more chances to do sports with classmates, which can not only help to foster a sense of team spirit but also improve their overall communication skills and the ability to get along well with others. As I see it, PE lessons are indeed of great importance as they not only help to build a healthy body, but also contribute to more vitality. Therefore, I am in favor of more PE lessons.
