to

Be

Independent

As the prince or princess in their family, some post-80s or post-90s are often spoiled or overprotected by their omnipotent

parents who involuntarily neglect the importance of training their children to be independent and sensible.

However, every little bird needs to find food for itself, and thus, how to teach their children to be independent has been put

forward as a hard nut for most parents. On the one hand, parents are suggested to provide more practical opportunities for their

children, especially those involved in cooperation, challenge and problem-solving, such as a meaningful internship or a military

summer camp. On the other hand, parents should guide their children to make decisions by themselves, and in the meantime,

encourage

them

to

take

the

correspondent

Frustration

are

the

best

incubators(

for

independence.

There

is

no

that

the

protection

Nevertheless,

independence is the only strong weapon for children to survive in this competitive society.

我的建议

Online Shopping

Nowadays, can we find a person who has not experienced online shopping? Definitely not. Online shopping is coming into

fashion in most of cities due to the rapid development of internet technology.

Online shopping is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumer, it can save some

time for people who don't have much spare time. Just click the mouse, they can get whatever they want while staying at home.

For the retailers, it can cut some costs for those who don't have much circulating funds. They don't have to rent a house and

spend money on employees compared with the traditional trade mode. However, there are still some defects in online shopping.

First, lack of face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy. Second, people will lose the fun of bargain.

It is undeniable that shopping on the internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. It's of great urgency that

we need to regulate the relative laws in accordance with the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the

pleasure and convenience of online shopping without the concern of being cheated.

Nothing Succeeds without a Strong Will

There goes a humorous saying that

This saying reflects the fact that people lacking a firm resolution often pick up what they have given up over and over. They are

a perfect example showing that nothing succeeds without a strong will.

A strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people normally possess. Two reasons attribute to it.

First and

foremost, only by having a strong will can one have the strength to face the long path to success, which is sometimes tedious

and

therefore

needs

patience

and

perseverance.

Secondly,

a

strong

will

can

help

one

overcome

frustrations

and

obstacles

encountered on the way to success. With a weak will, one can hardly achieve anything but go round in circles.

As for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure. Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up

and never give up. In short, a strong will plays a crucial role in attaining success, just as a saying goes that

there is a way.

我对这一现象的看法和建议

Excessive

Packaging

Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper,

placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden

boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.

There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can

attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over

-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On

the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be,

thus encouraging excessive packaging.

From

my

point

of

view,

excessive

packaging

has

disastrous

consequences,

including

the

loss

of

precious

resources,

excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scar

ce land for landfill. To solve the problem, it’s

necessary

to

take

the

following

measures.

First,

laws

and

regulations

must

be

made

to

restrict

excessive

packaging

of

companies.

In

addition,

we

need

to

raise

consumer’s

awareness

that

excessive

packaging

doesn’t

equal

to

high

quality

and

advocate packaging recycling.

Education Pays

As is shown above, the bar chart clearly demonstrates the relationship between the education level and earnings in 2010. It

7

is obvious that people with higher education background earn more money weekly than those with lower one.

In my opinion, there are quite a few reasons that can be identified to be responsible for this phenomenon: for one thing,

with

the

advancement

of

technology

and

the

adjustment

of

industrial

structure,

quite

a

few

high-tech

industries

emerge

overnight, which leads to a soar demand of workforce with high educational degree, thus, it is natural that graduates with a

bachelor and higher degree get a high pay packet and enjoy a stable job. Additionally, those with educational background under

associate degree are easily dismissed and paid by low salary. They can be replaced any time due to the fact that their jobs are

easy and can be finished by average people.

Definitely,

the

higher

education

degree

you

get,

the

more

likely

you

are

to

enjoy

a

competitive

edge

in

the

employment

market. Thus, the authorities should enforce some policies to ensure the equity of education. Only in this way can more people

lead a stable and comfortable life.

Doing

Small

Things Is Important

From this picture, we can see the boy is worried about disposing of nuclear waste. However, his father thinks he should

empty the dustbin first. Maybe some people think highly of the boy because he cares about the environment. But I agree with

the father. Only if we do every small thing well can we deal with something great.

Doing small things is of great importance. On one hand, by doing so, we are able to accumulate experience and master

essential skills. We must be fully prepared before we do something big. No matter what kind of situation we are facing, we can

handle

it

well. On

the

other

hand,

doing

small

things

also

helps

to

develop

good

habits.

If

so,

we

Those who can do small things perfectly are more likely to make achievements. Doing small things enables us to learn basic

skills to do something big. Therefore, we should try our best even when we are doing small things.

The

Importance of Learning Basic Skills

In

the

picture,

the

teacher

becomes

so

surprised

and

disappointed

when

one

of

her

students

questions

whether

the

knowledge of multiplication she is teaching now will be out-dated in the job market. Just as the student in the picture, nowadays

most people show their contempt for the basic skills.

And

many

reasons

contribute

to

this

phenomenon.

For

one

thing,

it

is

the

fact

that

we

are

living

in

a

world

of

fierce

competition that urges us to arm ourselves with up-to-date professional skills so as to adjust to the changes of the society and

the increasingly demanding employment standards. For another, most people hold the view that basic skills may not be applied

to the practical use immediately so that they always ignore the importance of basic skills which are

fundamentally good for

creativity and innovation abilities.

In my opinion, you can do nothing with the greater opportunities if you are not equipped with such basic skills as reading

and

calculating

skills.

So

we

should

enhance

the

learning

of

basic

skills

so

that

The Importance of Reading Literature

10

Literature is acknowledged as the most precious product of human civilization and wisdom, especially by our

teachers. So they always ask their students to read as many as literary works. Just as the drawing shown above,

a teacher gives a literary work to her student, saying:

It is of great significance for us to appreciate literature due to the following reasons. Firstly, a good literature

can get you to know a life experience through the eyes of someone other than yourself. The more experience

you gain, the more knowledgeable you are. Secondly, a good literature allows you to learn about history in a

personalized way. The stories

told

in

the works

can act

as

mirrors

and help

you

adjust

your own behaviors.

Lastly,

a

good

literature

is

an

effective

way

for

relaxation.

The

beautiful

and

moving

scenes

shown

in

the

literature are helpful for one's mental health.

In short, literature is indispensable in our life. We, students, should catch our time to read more literature.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your

essay with a brief account of

the increasing use of the mobile phone in people’s life

and then explain the consequences of

overusing it

. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the

surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.

“People are crossing the street looking at their cell phones and using walking sticks in order to see.”

The Overusing of Cell Phones

This picture portrays such an ironic situation: people who are crossing the street are completely concentrating on their cell

phones

whereas

using

sticks

for

direction,

which

implies

the

unprecedented

popularity

or

even

overusing

of

cell

phones

nowadays.

Exaggerated as the picture is, the phenomenon behind it is rather

thought- provoking. With the development of high-tech

12

equipment,

especially

smart

phones,

people

in

growing

numbers

tend

to

become

addicted

to

the

excessive

use

of

them.

According to a survey carried out in

China Daily

several days ago, almost 47% of citizens explained that they would experience

certain kind of anxiety without cell phones at hand. Meanwhile, the overusing of cell phones, firstly, would exert detrimental

impact

on

our

health.

What’s

worse,

it

would

play

a

negative role

in

interpersonal

relationship

since

we

had

less

time

to

communicate.

Judging

from

the

evidence

above,

certain

measures

should

be

taken.

Firstly,

certain

institutions

in

China

should

launch

relevant campaigns to limit the excessive use of cell phones. Moreover, we, as college students, should put emphasis on it right

from ourselves as a start.

：

The Impact of the Internet on Learning

In the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens a magical

portal

< br>（

大门，入口；

）

for learners to get access to

seemingly incessant information. But is information equal to knowledge?

education

I

really

need?

This

question

fully

embodies

the

prejudiced

opinion

that

as

long

as

people

acquire

abundant

information, they will get proper education.

The reason why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information is that education is not limited to the hard

facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment

of practical skills to the development of characters, which are hard for students to learn simply by

Googling. Consequently,

comprehensive learning in schools that includes learning knowledge, conducting experiments and communicating with peers is

what true education is.

13

In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully conscious of the essence

of education and learn to tell the right from the wrong.

The Impact of the

The ironic picture is about a father and a mother writing a letter to their son who is upstairs. The father and mother greet the

son, and tell him they are fine and miss him; they look forward to seeing him again when his computer crashes and he comes

downstairs to eat. The child is overusing the Internet. From the ironic picture we can see the impact of the Internet on the way

people communicate.

Can electronic communication replace face-to-face

contact? The answer is “no”.

For one thing, electronic communication

makes people feel strange although it does help people communicate, especially for those who are far away or inconvenient to

talk,

whereas

face-to-face

contact

people

The lake is located in the north of the campus and covers a large area. With lush vegetation, elegant pavilions and old-style

architecture, it is the most charming place on campus. In spring and early summer, the lake is surrounded by blooming flowers;

in autumn, the lakeside is full of yellowness.

It is also a good place for students and staff to relax. People can hear someone recite Chinese poems or English essays by

The 798 Art Zone used to be a large factory and was renovated into an art zone in the 1990s. The red bricks leave traces of

the past history but now they are more lively with sculptures in odd shapes, modern galleries and antique shops along the streets.

The galleries present modern artworks of artists from China, Japan, US, France, Switzerland and other countries. The small

shops are filled with interesting Chinese-featured crafts reminiscent of the 1980s: comic books, flutes, to name just a few. Also,

when people are tired after a long walk around the zone, they can have pizza, drink a cup of coffee in the open air or taste

traditional Chinese food or sushi in restaurants.

my foreign friend will find it interesting and enjoyable.

The Most Beneficial Activity in My Campus

It is well known that university is greatly different from high school mainly due to the fact that university will hold a large

activities,

which

benefits

college

students

a

lot.

From

my

perspective,

the

is

“Long

-distance

16

Running for Love” organized by the Students Union when I am a freshman. The money coll

ected by this activity is contributed

to Project Hope.

It is really my honor to participate the long running, because it benefits me greatly not only in body but also in mind. To

begin with, the activity reminds me of the great importance of physical health. Before I go to college, I only focus on academic

achievements while paying little attention to my physical health. But, the long- running tells me in time that a sound mind lies in

a sound body. Additionally, during my participation in this activity, I am well-informed that there are still many children in

rural

areas

who

have

to

drop

out

of

school

because

of impoverished

families.

Thus,

for

one

thing

,

I

fully

realize

the

great

importance of helping them fulfill their dreams.

For another

, I cherish the opportunity to study in university more, for when

compared with those children in poverty-stricken areas, we should harbor a grateful heart.

By and large, although I have taken part in many campus activities, I deem the long running for love most beneficial to me.

And I am looking forward to that more wonderful and meaningful activities will be held in our campus.

The Impact of Computer Overuse on Modern Life

As is depicted in the picture above,

computers have become an integral part of modern life. Whether in the office, at home or

during leisure time, the man is always hunching over a computer, which in turn haunts him in his dreams.

Apparently, the

cartoonist intends to draw our attention to

the negative impact of overusing computers on our everyday life.

There is no doubt that computers have changed our life enormously and people nowadays depend on them for various purposes.

However, the overuse of computers may adversely affect our social interaction and health.

For one thing,

the excessive use of

computers

can

distract

people

so

much

that

they

lose

contact

with

the

reality

and

spend

much

less

time

on

interaction with people around them.

For another,

sitting in front of a computer for too long can cause back, neck and shoulder

pains, eyestrain, and overuse injuries of wrists, among other health problems.

In conclusion, we should be alert to the dangers of using computers excessively while celebrating them as a kind of great tool.
