Traveling is a very pleasant thing. Some people like to travel with several friends. Other people, however, would prefer to travel alone. Each way has its advantages. As far as I am concerned, traveling with my friends is my choice.
Why do some people like to travel just himself or herself? For one thing, they have more freedom. They do not need to discuss the routine with others. What he or she wants to go, just go. For another, they can have more relax. They do not need to keep an eye on how to get along with friends.
Although there may be one or more advantages to traveling alone, I insist that traveling with friends far overweigh them. In the first place, you can make the trip is not a very easy activity. For example, you need to find transportation tools, hotel and restaurant in strange places. Several friends can average these tasks so that such things will not bother every one much and enjoy the journey more.
In the second place, you can get help when you need. There will be many unexpected surprising thing during the journey. Such as, get lost, be sick, cannot wake up early for the morning flight. It is very tough for people to handle these situations by themselves especially when they travel to a strange place. Friends can give you a hand to overcome all these difficulties. As a Chinese slang says, _every one needs the help from others._
In addition, you can have more fun. Enjoying the scene spots is wonderful, while traveling on the road is boring. How to spend this boring time? Talking with friends, playing cards will help you out.
In conclusion, I prefer to travel with friends rather than travel alone not only because the trip will be easier with friends, but also because more help and fun will be got from friends.

People attend a college or a university for the following reasons, to acquire knowledge which isnecessary for a career, to contribute to the society, and to experience life.
Firstly college education is a necessary step for a person who wants to start a career in scienceand technology areas.

In addition, college education is a wonderful experience in one’s life. Only in a college one can betaught by the finest scholars and meet with the most intelligent people in the nation. Educationcan also bring happiness to the student.

Why do people need to attend colleges or universities? Different people have different answers tothis question. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to havenew experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is theprimary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, theycan learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as , that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.
Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means havingthe opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, goingto college is the first time they've been away from home by themselves. In addition, this is the firsttime they've bad to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases theirknowledge of themselves.
Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand theirknowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will he their last chance for a long timeto learn about something that doesn't relate to their career.
I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to havenew experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.

Now days, more and more people are trying to attend college or university. Different people do sofor different reasons. Some typical reasons are new experiences, career preparation and increasedknowledge. In my opinion, it is the fast developement, almost explosion, of our world that makepeople to consider attending college or university.
People would usually get bored when they focus on one field for a long time. For this reason, theygo to college to pursue experiences in new areas. We often hear that an electrical engineer wentto a university to study art or music. With the new experiences, they expand their ken. Maybesome good ideas would jump out during their daily work.
As for the young, they attend college for career preparation. Not only could they get knowledgeneeded for their future work, they could learn how to think and how to solve questions. Theprojects students attended are very like their future work.
Some people, who have been graduated from universities for years, are also planning to go back toschool. Most of them reattend universities to increase their knowledge. Techlogy is developing sofast that people could not keep up with them unless they keep increasing their knowledge.
All in all, people, who attend college or university, are preparing for their better futures.
College is a place that the students can learn more and new knowledge and experience in it. Ofcourse, different people have different reason to study in college. For example, some people wantto be to go on a further study after they graduate from the college; some people hope to find agood job after their studying in the college and also some people wish to exchange their presentsituation through studying in the college. In my opinion, no matter what reason people study in thecollege for, studying in the college is just a preparation for their future life.
First of all, students can learn new knowledge and experiences from the studying in the college.There are many teachers, professors with abundant teaching experience who teach students lots ofnew knowledge and help them to solve the problems in their study. With their help, student canlearn a lot of useful basic and professional knowledge which is very helpful for their future work.and study. After they finish their study in the college, students go to work in the society andcontribute to the different fields.Secondly, students can learn how to arrange their own time reasonably. Before their studying in
college, their life often arranged by their parents and their study often arranged by their teachers.It is very different for them to live and study in college, because students studying in college haveto arrange their life and study by themselves. They have right to arrange their part time, such aswhen to get up, when is the sport-time, when to finish the assignment etc. This is very importantexperience for students' work and life in the future.
Secondly, studying in the college make students having opportunity to live with other student andlearn how to cooperate with other people. Usually, people often have uncomfortable feeling tolive with a stranger, because they do not know each other and perhaps their habit and personalityare different. But for the long run, it is good for them. They have to cooperate with each other andsolve a lot of problems they will face together. Gradually, they can learn how to care andunderstand other people. It is a preparation for students to go to cooperate with other people inthe society.
All in all, students not only can learn lots of new knowledge from the books but also can learnmuch more necessary experience such as how to arrange time and how to cooperate with otherpeople. It is ver important for their future work and life.

Today more and more people attend college or university. But why? As a student of a keyuniversity, I want to give my opinion.
Of course, we attend university to increase knowledge. University provides some basic knowledgefor our research or our career in the following years. It provides basic information about the majorwe chose, such as what it research in. If you find that you are not interested in that major, u canchange it, till u find one u are interested in. It also provides knowledge for all majors, such asadvanced mathematic, English, physics, basic chemistry. Teacher there can help you to decidewhat you do in the future, to enter a graduate school or to take a job. We must do a lot ofexperiment during the school years, that makes us quite capable. We visit a factory in the secondyear to get a general idea about the work our major do. And we have a internship in the third yearto do the real work.
Then, you can get new experience from university. You can join the student union or join a club.You can learn a lot from it. First, you can learn how to communicate with the different people.And u can learn how to organize a meeting or a party.
And also you can prepare for your career. There are lots of programs to let the students be trainedfor a job. University runs the program by cooperating with some very large company, somemanager from the company will give us some courses which teach us how to run a company, howto lead your group to finish the work, how to cope with some problem, and how to be moreconfident. And they also tell us which kind of employee they want in the company. These thingsare quite useful for us, especially for those who want to get a job after graduation.
Now you know that university is quite useful, but the most important thing it teaches us is not theknowledge nor the experience, it is how to think and how to learn.
Access to education is an indispensable part of one’s privilege regardless of one’s gender, culture, and family background. When it comes to the availability of educational resources, some believe that it is more difficult for kids from common household to get decent education due to the wide gap between rich and poor and the ever-increasing tuitions, while others claim that it is much easier for people to have access to different educational resources than ever before. I, personally, tend to argue that multiple educational resources are more accessible to modern people based on the following reasons.
First off, the advent of technological gadgets makes it possible for people from common family backgrounds to gain access to education. To be more specific, with the appearance of smart phones, tablets and computer laptops, it is easier for people of all age groups, including adolescents and teenagers, to get access to all kinds of education resources. For example, with internet access and a laptop, which is basically a necessity for everyone, people of all age groups can get proper education especially with the establishment of massive on-line open course like courser, Edx, etc. These massive on-line courses covers a wide range of topics ranging from computer science, coding, to language learning and soft skill development. In sharp contrast, a few decades ago, people from poverty-stricken areas had never dreamed of attending the lectures offered by world-renowned professors, however, with the above-mentioned resources, it is absolutely possible for those people to realize their dreams. Thus, state-of-the-art technology makes if possible for people to have full access to high quality educational resources.
Additionally, governments have put so much financial and human resources to provide education at different levels so that people enjoy a better chance to be educated. For instance, Chinese government spared no effort in this regard since education from kindergarten to twelfth grade is fully subsidized and such educational experience is accessible to children from both rural and urban areas. Besides, institutions of higher learning and various research centers receive state fund, and the figure is so phenomenal that it is not exaggerated to claim that it is in billions of . dollars. Such foundations can be for multiple purpose, like purchasing advanced science equipment, attracting bring young researchers and scientists, funding cutting-edge research to improve people’s livelihood, directly and indirectly. All of these institutions and universities are in a better position to provide education resources to people.
In conclusion, it is much easier for people to get education of all level ranging from kindergarten to tertiary education since education comes in handy with advanced technological tools like these massive on-line courses and governments’ effort to improve people’s educational experience.
The club of your school plan to help one of the following group of people,
pupils reading and math
2. build houses for those who cannot afford the house
care of the old
Life is loaded with various difficulties and hardship, especially for old people who are incapable of taking good care of themselves because of their poor physical quality. Therefore, among the three choices of helping young students in nearby primary school, helping people to find new houses for rent and assisting old people for caring them, I definitely choose the last one.
For one thing, because of being committed to their career, the middle-age can hardly take good care of their parents. To address a sequence of job assignments, city employees, the majority of whom have turned to the middle age, are required to be immersed in their career. Take ordinary citizens as examples. When it comes to businessmen, dealing with the complicated relationship with their counterparts or consumers will lead them to be shortage of time to accompany their families, given that all their time and energy are occupied. Speaking of policemen, to maintain stable social order and crack down on any happening or underlying crimes, they are supposed to be on duty at any time, making it impossible for them to care their families. And it is also an episode likely to be applied in the movie by the film maker that policemen are woking on the investigation and cannot keep promises they make for their families , impressing audiences again and again. As for the career of teachers, what they normally do is either to prepare for their presentations or remedy their students’ assignments. Apparently, the contemporary middle-age citizens cannot take good care of their parents and college students had better provide their help.
For another thing, the process of helping the old can cultivate college students’ sense of responsibility that matters in their future life and profession. Many more universities will, literally, decide whether to admit students by checking if there is any volunteering experience like taking care of the old in a nursing home in their application materials. In an era of both highly developed economy and technology, it tends to be easier for children to develop the unwanted behaviors and unhealthy values and world outlook. Nowadays, people can often hear the News about college students failing to graduate from schools because of their addiction to video games and many overseas students catching the affluenza which refers to wealthy people who like to show their richness by purchasing many unnecessary luxuries. Therefore, many young people’s ideology has been distorted seriously and it is urgent to call on their sense of responsibility. And taking good care of the old can teach them a lot. For instance, they will be conscious of the fact that there is still a vulnerable group that needs to be assisted and their contribution to the society can drive away the solitude of the old. Thus, they will increase their confidence in undertaking more social responsibilities.
Admittedly, some others may lay emphasis on the importance of helping the young since they are the future of a nation. From what I believe, it is hype since the education of young children does not count on the help from college students. As for the statement that college students should help others rent a house, that is ridiculous since there have been a wide range of choices for tenants among diverse Apps via the Internet. To conclude, helping the old can be of enormous benefits for both the old and the young.
Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn about something more complex, its always best to have a teacher.
Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. Theyve been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style. For instance, omen students learn better by discussing a topic. Others learn more by writing about it. Teachers can help students learn in the way thats best of each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something. Plus theyre only as helpful as your ability to understand them. A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs. Teachers help you focus on what youre learning. If youre learning something by yourself, it’s easy to become distracted, and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time. On your own, its tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don’t need. That can binder your ability to really understand the subject.
Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teachers own knowledge of the topic. Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what youre learning.
Theres nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study. For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.
In recent years, animal protection has become an issue of concern. People take different attitudes towards the increasing attention and expenditure on wildlife conservation. Some people suggest that the spending should be redirected to helping other fields in society. I agree with the view that the investment in wildlife protection is not worthwhile.
Animals, as a key component of the whole food chain, have a profound impact on the sustainability of an ecosystem. As we known, every kind of animals plays an important role in natural balance. For instance, the demise of any species will lead to the growth or decline of other species. In some extreme cases, some species may at the verge of extinction such as Dodo bird. If people did not take actions to protect wildlife as soon as possible, we humans would be affected in the end.
However, there are more issues that we need to focus in our society rather than protecting animals. In current social context, the primary task is still to improve living standards since there are many people living under the poverty line. Only when people are in a good living condition, can they pay attention to other social problems. Besides, technology and education are another two aspects of governments to concern. These two industries accelerate the development of society, which will provide a better protection for wildlife in turn.
In conclusion, although the animal is a significant part of ecosystem, it is better for governments to invest more finance and resources in other social problems.
Some people prefer to spend most of their time alone. Others like to be with friends most ofthe time. Do you prefer to spend your time alone or with friends? Use specific reasons to supportyour answer.

If I had to choose between spending time alone or spending time with my friends, I'd rather bealone. I need this time alone to _recharge my batteries,_ to re-energize my mind and spirit. Beingwith friends can be fun and can help you get through the rough spots in life, but it's the time aloneI think, that forms you as a person.
When I'm alone, I have time to think about my goals and to develop a strategy to reach them. Ofcourse, lean think about these things when I'm with others, but it's harder to concentrate in acrowd. Being alone gives me the quiet time to really think about my life and what I want to dowith it.
Being by myself is also a good way to listen to the silence and relax completely. When I'm alonecan practice meditation and lower my stress level. That's a very good way to sharpen my powersof concentration. Too much time with friends means filling my mind with a lot of chitchat. That'senjoyable for a moment, but can dull my concentration.
Being with other people can also distort my view of things. It's easy sometimes to become tooworried about what other people think of me, or what other people have that I don't. When I'malone I have time to step back. I can see the real value of things, without being influenced by theopinions of my friends.
It's natural to want to be with other people, but I find the time I spend alone is more valuable tome in the long run.
Nowadays, children rely too much on the technology, like computers, smartphone, video games for fun and entertainment; playing simpler toys or playing outside with friends would be better for the childrens development.
For parents, how to well plan their children’s development has been a huge problem. While some children are given more time on technological gadgets, others are more inclined to choose some activities, such as going camping or traveling. For me, the former option would be a better one.
Admittedly, playing simpler toys or playing outside might be good choice for children. Simpler toys, namely Lego, are a good way to develop children’s thinking on solving the problem through block by block. By assembling the pieces for different blocks, children could assemble an even big piece, such as the classic London Tower Bridge. Also, playing with friends is helpful. When they are playing with others, they would cooperate with them to playing sports or even solve problems. However, on balance, both of these ways are limited in helping children. Toys and outdoor activities are restrained to their actual forms: parents need lots of money to buy different toys to help children develop, and they pay a great amount of money on helping their children for different activities. For those parents who suffer from financial burden, these are not effective ways for children’s development. Comparatively, technology would be a more effective way for children.
Firstly, Internet via computers and smartphone are essential for their development. In other words, Internet provides students with vast amounts of information. According to a recent survey conducted by Gallup, after polling thousands of students from local high schools, most respondents claim that Internet is the helper from them to finish homework. When they have problems, they would search reference on Internet. Websites such as Google Scholar would be a wonderful tool for them to find some papers or academic reference for their homework. Meanwhile, Internet is a wonderful place for them to entertain as well. They could watch movies on . They could even find interesting stories on sina com. All funny experiences are available on Internet without causing children too much money.
In addition, video games are also necessary for children’s growth. When children are playing video games, they might learn some strategic thinking. For example, when I am playing FIFA 2016, I have to manage my team members according to their physical strength so that I could beat other teams. For those who run quickly, it would be a good idea for them to play forward; for those who are tall and strong, they would be better playing middle field. Because of this team management strategy, I have achieved many titles in the game. Learning from this, I would allocate my time in finishing homework according to my energy level. When I am energetic, I might choose the most difficult homework; if I am tired, I might choose some easy-to-do tasks, which would not cost me much time.
To conclude, while playing toys or spending time on outdoor activities is a good way for their development, technology would be better way.
Agree or disagree: students do reading by their own is as important as or more important than the reading teachers assigned.
Reading is a process of procuring knowledge and the ways of reading vary for students between reading on their own and reading as told by their teachers. As for me, it will be more beneficial to read books in line with students’ wishes.
For one thing, students should read what they are curious about and can find interests in, which can find wide application among college students in particular. In order to hone one’s talents and crafts with specific purpose, college students will find the more practical books to read to strengthen their competence for their future competing with other rivals in the job market. Take Steve Jobs as an example. After attending the college just for a few months, he couldn’t figure out how the college life would help him in the future except for imposing his working family enormous financial , he decided to drop out so he could stop taking the required classes and reading the assigned reading materials that did not interest him and began dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. Finally, the last several months for his college life turned out to be priceless later on since he took a calligraphy class and read the relative books, the knowledge of which had been applied to produce the first computer with beautiful typography. Evidently, part of Steve Job’s accomplishments can prove how essential for students to read by following their own curiosity and intuition.
For another thing, students can be more absorbed in the books that they like. To be more specific, compared with the assigned papers or articles, students’ incentive can be more stimulated by reading what they like. For instance, the prevailing notion of children’s education is that they should develop their own interests by reading what can intrigue their inquisitiveness or stimulate their imagination. Therefore, there is a voice coming out today that more freedom needs to be given to primary school students so that they can read some more interesting books like the science-fiction novels or tales and etc. Besides, too much focus on cultivating students’ academic abilities and the ignorance of developing their overall qualities will lead to the development of elites with less morality. Obviously, the benefits of reading books by students themselves and the detriment of just reading as assigned by teachers can tell us how important to give students’ rights to choose what they read.
Admittedly, reading what teachers assigned can be of also importance. In other words, teachers will be familiar with which area students should be improved to achieve better academic performance. For instance, teachers will require students to engage in extensive reading to increase students’ reading ability. However, it can not be the reason to regard reading as students wish as inferior because students can better improve their reading ability by being absorbed in what they like most.
To conclude, students should enjoy the rights to decide what they read.
Students should spend at least one year working or travelling before they go to the university.
The prevailing notion is that high school students are under huge pressure. Then appears a controversy whether students should have one year to engage in other things before they attend their university. After weighing the pros and cons, I am favor of the opinion that having a gap year can produce many benefits.
First off, students can benefit a lot from traveling. As everyone knows, to maintain strong competitiveness, high school students are required to accomplish a wide range of either required or optional curriculums at school and the rights to develop their own interests have been deprived relentlessly, which has proven to be a detriment of their growth. Instead of pursuing their bachelor degree without pause in the college, traveling can help them regain chances to cultivate and perfect their personalities and release pressure. For instance, many more college graduates are reported to be indifferent to the society and show no mercy on those in need, part of which owes a lot to the fact that schools lay more emphasis on cultivating students’ academic abilities and downplay the importance of developing their overall qualities. Traveling to those places in poverty can give students a sight of those impoverished families to call on the sense of responsibility. Besides, by paying a visit to some places of interest like the Great Wall or the pyramid in Egypt, students can approach the greatness of diverse culture. What’s more, the direct access to the natural world can appease students’ inner uproar. Accordingly, a gap year can be a great asset for high school graduates.
Secondly, by taking part-time jobs, not only can students accumulate sufficient social experience but also earn some money to reduce financial stress on their families. Though economy in China keeps growing at a rate of almost 9 percent in the recent, average citizens still suffer huge pressure especially when the slump of stock market took a heavy toll on them and the majority of stock investors withdrew their money and reinvest to the real estate, further increasing pressure on the ordinary because of the increasing prices of housing. For most families from small cities and rural areas, college tuition still appears to be a great burden on them and by taking part-time jobs, students can earn some wages to relieve financial pressure, such as serving as a restaurant attendant that enables students to better develop their communication techniques and learn more about how to meet the demands of consumers or working as a salesman that will be an entirely different experience from high schools and can lead to the cultivation of the ability of presenting customers the advantages of products. Obviously, a gap year means a lot to high school graduates.
Admittedly, there is another voice that high school students are supposed to start their campus life immediately after graduation from high schools. To be more specific, maintaining high-efficiency study can lead students to be better acclimated to their college life. Instead of going to college soon, a gap year may disrupt their study schedule and weaken their learning skills. It appears to be sensible, however; the ultimate goal of attending a university is to seek a decent job and gaining social experience in advance makes students more conscious of which kind of area they are more interested in in the near future such as the serving industry or high-tech fields.
In conclusion, high school graduates had better live a different life temporarily before they go to college.
Nowadays companies contribute money to many worthy causes. In fact many cultural events only become possible through corporate sponsorship and financial support. The choice between supporting the arts and protecting the environment is not an easy one. However, the company should give money to protect the environment because a healthy environment is necessary in order to produce and enjoy the arts and also because every company has an obligation to secure the environment which it pollutes either directly or indirectly.
A healthy environment has served as inspiration to artists over the centuries and millennia. On all continents creative people have benefited from natural beauty to produce landmark pieces of art, and painters, writers, and musicians alike talk about the stimulating effects that nature has on their work. Furthermore, nature is the focal point of many works of art, for example, landscape painting. Therefore, a healthy environment becomes a prerequisite for art.
Protecting the environment will also ensure that people will be able to enjoy the arts in the future. After all, environmental pollution causes and contributes to many diseases and illnesses. Naturally, sick people are not very concerned with high culture but are more worried about getting healthy or staying alive. Thus, money spent on environmental protection will make it possible for people to continue to enjoy art because they will live healthier lives.
Lastly, every company contributes in some way to environmental degradation. Even the companies that do not cause pollution by means of manufacturing or production still ship products or use great amounts of electricity in their line of work. Since air pollution is a serious problem, much of which is caused by industrial transport, and because electricity is a scarce commodity, the production of which also causes environmental damage, businesses should invest in this area. Not only will the company fulfill its ethical obligation but it will benefit from the investment.
While some countries have strong programs against illiteracy， others still do not care that much. But， illiteracy has become a big obstacle during the last century and is still problematic question now with quick development of technology and automation. From my everyday experience and observation I can state several factors which defend the statement that reading and writing now is more important than ever before.
First of all， it is essential for a person to have at least basic knowledge of reading and writing to survive in our society. While in the past， some people could live in wilderness or even in cities without any knowledge of written language， now it is almost impossible. The way of living has change so much that it is impossible to be a part of nation， especially in developed countries， without ability to read and write your bills， to understand your mortgage documents or job applications. Moreover， you can go nowhere by yourself but in your own small town without reading the maps and signs on the roads and in cities.
Second， nowadays， most of jobs require reading and writing as necessary skills and tendency that these skills will be more and more important for future jobs increases. In fact， because of sharp development of technology， more of jobs on the labor market are for literate people and less of them are for people without any or slight reading or writing knowledge. For example， there are not needed so much people who can work on lands or select parts in auto-factories because the
machines do that kinds of jobs now. On the other hand， factories and corporations need people who can read the instructions and control the machines. It is bare true that without jobs that need only physical abilities， illiterate people are forced to be constantly on unemployment lists.
In conclusion， the most scare part of living illiterate in our society is maybe living dependable of someone. A illiterate person will have difficulties not only to do simple tasks such as writing bills， withdrawing money from cash machines， or reading menu in a restaurant， but also to be a productive and useful individual of our society with job and normal life.
Nowadays, more and more young people attend the universities for different reasons. Accordingto the survey, the main goal of what most of them do so is for career preparation.
There are many reasons to demonstrate it. The most primary reason is that is that university arethe most suitable spot to absorb knowledge, which mostly determines your career development.With the development of the society, _knowledge is power_ has been a rule: the more knowledgeone possesses, the more easily he succeeds in his career. For instance, it is often reported thatMBA graduates in famous universities, such as Harvard, will acquire high start payment when thecompanies employ them for the first time. After several works, abundant working experience andsolid knowledge base will make them further develop in the manager class.
Another reason is that universities will provide one with not only knowledge but also many otherabilities, including communication ability, corporation ability, and independency ability etc, whichare beneficial to future career. At the same time, he can make friends with his schoolmates anddeals with all kinds of people, who often become his colleagues or business partner in the future.Furthermore, in this way, his view will be widened and abilities will be improved. When he goesoff the campus, he always has stronger competition ability than those who do not go to theuniversities.
Last but not the least one is that in contrast, history illustrates that people refused by theuniversities have few opportunities to succeed in their career development. Because of their loweducational level, most companies would rather employ them as physical workers than mentalworkers. in this way, the development of technology and science will fall them into disuse. Suchas in many manufacturing factories now, there are automatic machines as substitute for workers.
In a word, of many reasons for people to go to universities, career preparation has been the mostprimary. When education background becomes more important in career development, it willattract more people to do so for a long period.
There are many people want to go to university or college every year and they decide to do so formany different reasons. I believe there are three common reasons are to prepare for career,increase their knowledge and get new experience.Prepare for career is very important for young people nowadays. In a competitive society, if theyhave not a good educational background, they will not get a good opportunity in their career oreven cannot find a job, so college and university can provide them new skills to meet therequirements of career.
Also, students attend to university or college can increase their knowledge in subjects theyinterested, for many people, this is maybe the primary reason to go to college. There are manyexcellent professors and experts can give us a plenty of knowledge which including many areas.For many people this maybe their last chance for a long time to get knowledge that don't relate totheir career.
Besides looking for knowledge, some people want to go to college or university because theydecide to live a new life. University can support young people an environment where they canintercommunicate about many topics such as literature, goal of life, art and emotions which arehard to talked about after their university lives, so it is a special experience for young people tolive and study in college or university.
All in a word, I prefer increase knowledge and get a special experience to prepare for career inuniversity because getting good opportunities in career is partly depend on your knowledge andexperiences on diverse areas.
When famous people give their opinions, many people listen. Should we pay attention to those remarks?
When Tom Cruise once appeared in a TV program, he was too excited so he jumped up and down the couch. Later jump the couch was adopted in the American dictionary for slang. This is a bit exaggerating, but it definitely reflects the fact that when famous people give their opinions, many people listen. But, should we pay attention to these remarks or actions?
Firstly, famous people are famous, for they have one or few aspects that exceed common people. Like Albert Einstein once said, I think and think for months, for years, ninety-nine times the conclusion false, but the hundredth time I am right. As a brilliant scientist, he speaks of the right attitudes towards science and inspires countless people to fight for the truth. Hollywood actors or actresses, they may talk about their dressing styles or skin cares on magazine. These are all advice that we might as well take, for real life is not just serious academic things but also the satisfaction of living.
But the point is that, celebrities are not perfect role models for the public. Once I heard a story about Einstein, saying that he nearly got into the water when he once harassed a young lady and got refused when they were in a boat in a park. Is Einstein evil somehow? No! He’s just being human. Then is it wrong to harass ladies? Yes. But all humans make mistakes. Celebrities are experts in certain areas but not all. In some other fields, they should even learn from us.
Generally, there are two extremes when talking about celebrities: the public are either too critical or too superstitious. Objectively, both of the attitudes are unnecessary. As a Chinese saying which generalizes this situation the best goes: to take in the good, while to get rid of the bad.
The Internet provides convenience for people to learn at home.
Internet based training gas become a common business tool used to gain advancements in current jobs. Tutoring over the Internet is also available. Business on the Internet is a growing technology. Business on the Internet has no geographic boundaries; it has access to more consumers.
Approximately 150 businesses join the Internet every day. There is less labor force needed and it is open 24 hours a day. The Internet is also a bigger and cheaper way to advertise. In the past 20 years, the Internet has changed a number of areas in society, especially the business world. In the last 40 years, the Internet has gone from a method of defense communication for the government, to a business venture for an entrepreneur or a fortune 500-company. The Internet is a way for gaining consumers, products and capital for a business.
In a world of light-speed data transmission, any individual with little training and expertise can make a fortune from the Internet. Many companies, like or eBay, thrive from business done through Internet transactions.
The reading puts forward three reasons to illustrate the bad effects brought by those prairie dogs. However, the professor refutes these three strongly.
Firstly, the listening argues that the reason why the report had no photo but only draft drawings lied in two aspects. First, the photography technology at that time was not as advanced as it is now. As the imaging techniques was not good, the quality of the photos was low. In addition, when the experiment was conducted, it was cloudy; in such condition to capture the image of a flying plane was too difficult.
Secondly, the reading claims the design of Whitehead’s plane that only had one wing was not logical, for the plane usually had two or three wings at that time. However, the professor disagrees. In the recent, some researchers have made a copy of Whitehead’s plane based on his design diagram. They tested the copy planes four times, and each of them was successful.
Finally, the reading suggests that Whitehead had produced many engines and sold them to several aircraft builders, but in fact none of those engines used in planes had ever succeeded, illustrating that Whitehead had not successfully tested his plane. But the professor argues the problem that those engines did not work could not be blamed to Whitehead. It was because the technology was not so developed at that time and aircraft builders knew little about designing planes. The fact that there were people buying Whitehead’s engines actually proved that his design had no problem.
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement：
students should be encouraged to take courses like science, technology, engineering and math that are likely to lead to job opportunities rather than subjects they might be interested in.
The question of “ what is the most important subject or skill the schools should teach? ” has never failed to attract attention from educators, school administrators and even politicians especially when it comes to subjects like technology, engineering and math. Some argue that students should be encouraged to take such classes rather than the ones they are interested in since they give them a better shot to find jobs. However, personally, I am not in favor of this position based on the following reasons.
Admittedly, it is true that courses like technology, engineering and math are very
technical, most of which can be applied in solving real world issues. However, the exposure that students have to apply these theories are very limited in class. Taking technical oriented classes will not give students a competitive edge to ensure future jobs opportunities, on the other hand, there are enormous benefits for students to take courses that they are interested in.
First off, taking courses that students are interested in can be a great motivation for them to achieve higher goals. Old saying “ interest is the best teacher” remains relevant as it did a century ago. Interest serves as the internal motivation for students to explore in the area that they are interested, on the contrary, if they are forced to take courses for a utilitarian purpose, they might not keep their interest for a long time thus have a lower learning efficiency. Recent study conducted by the Society of Developmental Psychology shows that students will be more enthusiastic and passionate about learning when given the freedom to make their own choices to take classes. Also, giving students the opportunity to choose the classes they are interested in can help them to explore their real interest, thus their potential can be fully tapped before heading off for career options.
Additionally, taking courses students are interested in have enormou
The writer and the speaker have a debate on feeding bird during the winter. The writer believes it has negative influences on birds, which is opposed by the following lecture.
First, the writer claims that birds gather easily, thus spreading diseases. While the speaker views this issue from an opposite angle, according to him/her, the diseases that spread in Hinch are always group-by-group. It has nothing to do with humans.
Secondly, the passage states that bad weather results in shortage of food supply. However, the speaker casts doubt on this opinion by saying that if humans feed birds, extra nutrition will make them stronger and healthier, enhancing the speed of reproduction. The number of new-born birds will be larger than the number of dead birds.
Last, the writer argues that it will influence birds’ migration pattern. By contrast, in accordance with the speaker, this claim does not hold water. It will not disturb the pattern of natural migration, because birds will depend on shortened sunlight to decide the migration time.
When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the newcountry. Others prefer to keep their own customs. Compare these two choices. Which one do youprefer? Support your answer with specific details.
Nowadays it is quite common for people to immigrate to ther countries. When they move, some ofthem decide to follow the customs of the new country while others prefer to keep their own. If I
were forced to agree with one of the two positions, my choice would be the former.To illustrate my point, let us first take a look on why some people dislike the idea of following thecustoms of the new country. For one thing, these people are so accustomed to their own culture,religion and customs, and it is very hard for them to accept the new cultures. For instance, peoplefrom a Islamic country may find a lot of customs in western countries offensive.
Although I agree that some customs are hard to change, I insist that the advantages of adapting toa new culture are apparently seen. In the first place, by following the customs of the new country,you can learn about the country and understand the people more easily and become a realmember of the country. People who stick to their way of life may sometimes feel lonely andisolated. To share the same custom means that having more things in common, and it can pullpeople together. Furthermore, you have to adapt to some customs of the new country, if they arewritten into the law. As a result, it is much more sensible to do as the Roman do.
In conclusion,I believe that the advantages of following the customs of the new country is obviousbecause you can easily learn about the country and be a real member of it. What is more, you canlive more easily in a foreign country.
Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice offamily and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is throughpersonal experience. Compare the advantages of these two different ways of learning about life.Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference.
Both learning through personal experience and learning through the advice of others can help youin life. If you don't have a lot of knowledge about something, the advice of people you trust canbe very valuable. They can tell you about their own experiences, and about the advantages anddisadvantages of a situation. Then you can consider your own wants and needs and decide whatyou should do. Pretty soon, you'll have more experience of your own.
When you 're thinking about what you want to do with your life, friends and relatives are a greatresource. They can give you information about things like jobs, school, volunteering, and travelingto other parts of the world. They've done a lot of learning in their lives, and you can use it todecide what you want to do with yours.
In some cases, there's no real substitute for personal experience. For example, I really don't like tomake presentations in class. I know I'll make mistakes, even if I'm thoroughly prepared and knowall about my topic. Nothing but experience can help me deal with the nervousness I feel. I knowthat the feedback I get from the teacher and from the other students will help me learn from those mistakes. At least I'm confident that the next class presentation I make will be much better thanthe last one.
In the end, I think that the best way to learn about life is by experiencing it firsthand. No one elsecan teach you how to get along with other people, how to realistically judge your own abilities, orhow to understand who you are. You can only learn these things by dealing with situations everyday. Experience is the best teacher.
Nowadays, the annual incomes of many sports stars and film stars come to millions of dollars. Some people claim that their salaries are too high. Yet, in my opinion, such salaries are well deserved. They work hard to become famous, provide entertainment for us, and win honors for their countries.
First, famous athletes and entertainers make painstaking efforts to achieve fame. Fame is a wonderful thing to have, but it seldom appears overnight. Famous people have worked hard for years to achieve their fame today and they have to continue their good work to maintain it. For their hard work, sports and entertaining stars deserve to be generously rewarded. Unfortunately, people tend to focus on the huge amounts of money made by them. They rarely appreciate the efforts that athletes and entertainers have to make in order to achieve the fame that they have today. For example, in order to win the first place in a 100-meter dash, an athlete has to cover hundreds of miles during training. Famous stars deserve their high salaries because they have worked hard.
Second, sports and entertaining stars provide us with good entertainment. On weekends, many of us attend a football match that includes Beckham, see a movie that stars Julia Roberts, or go to a concert that features Celine Dion. These people help us make good use of our free time by entertaining us. As a result, we feel inspired as well as relaxed. In other words, we feel energetic again after attending the events. We even feel that we have more to enjoy in life and have new aspirations. For such reasons, these people are worth their high salaries.
Third, athletes and entertainers win honors for their countries. For example, after four years’ hard work, many athletes win gold medals at the Olympics Games. They are able to make millions of dollars a year after the games. Such high salaries are justified, because these athletes have won honors for their countries in the most competitive arena and have made their people proud, something few people can even dream of. This is true for entertainers as well. Many actors and actresses receive high salaries after they have won Oscars or prizes at Cannes Films Festival. Those people also deserve high salaries, because they have made a name in films for their country and have made their country better known by people elsewhere in the world.
All in all, famous athletes and entertainers merit their high salaries, for their hard work, entertainment they provide, and their contribution to their country. If I had a chance, I would be a famous star who can make millions of dollars a year.
