(S8)I think high school students should be careful enough when talking about love. (S9)After all, we are not old enough and our main responsibility is to study hard in order to have a bright future. (S10)If we care for nothing but love, we will definitely be a loser in the end.
16. On Saving
(S1)As we know, when senior students graduate from school, most of their reference books (as well as textbooks), which are still in good condition are thrown away. (S2)What a great waste it is!
(S3)I suggest that we should recycle these books. (S4)On the one hand, recycling them can save a lot of natural resources, which can be reused to make textbooks. (S5)On the other hand, senior students may have made plenty of useful notes on the pages. (S6) They are very helpful to the following users.
(S7)At present, the whole nation is called on to build an energy-saving society. (S8)I think it's certainly meaningful to our long-term interests. (S9)In fact, in Australia and some other countries, recycling textbooks is popular, which gives us a good example.
17. Generation Gap
(S1)Nowadays, many young people are complaining that their parents can not understand them very well.(S2)In their opinion, their parents take care of every respect of their lives, leaving them unable to have their private space.(S3)Yet, parents are worried that their children don't show any respect to them and never give them any trust.
(S4)Consequently, a household phrase is spreading, which is the "generation Gap"? (S5)By using this phrase, both the young and the old have found a good explanation for their misunderstanding of each other. (S6)Yet they don't bother to take some measures to cover the distance between them.
(S7)In my opinion, I think we should first admit that there is indeed some difference between parents and children. (S8)Then, we should try to take some time to communicate with each other frequently. (S9)Not only the parents, but also the kids should be equal when exchanging their views. (S10)Only by their joint efforts, can the parents and children bridge the generation gap between them.
18. Foreign Fast Food
(S1)In recent years, China has witnessed the prosperity of foreign fast food restaurants in big cities. (S2)It is quite easy for people to have meals at KFC or Mcdonald's. (S3)At lunch time, it will be hard to find seats in some fast food restaurants.
(S4)While so many small restaurants are worried about how to attract more customers, foreign fast food restaurants have rushed into China. (S5)Why can they draw so many people's attention? (S6)Firstly, fast food is very fast and convenient, people can stuff themselves within several minutes. (S7)Secondly, the restaurants offering fast food also provide a very comfortable environment as well as a warm atmosphere. (S8)People can not only enjoy the food they have, but also can feel the foreign flavor the restaurants try to display.
(S9)However, most of the people who regularly come to the fast food restaurants rarely realize the fact that, though tastes delicious, fast food usually has little nutrition. (S10)I think they should eat less for the sake of their health.
19. The Importance of Early Rising
(S1) Just as Benjamin Franklin says "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."it's true that early rising benefits us in many ways.
(S2)First, it helps to keep us fit. (S3)We all need fresh air, but air is never so fresh in other time of the day as that in the early morning. (S4)Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health. (S5)Second, it can help us in our studies. (S6)In the morning we can learn more quickly. (S7)Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. (S8)We cannot work well without a proper plan. (S9)Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work.
(S10)So we urge that those who always get up late should make great efforts to get up early.
20. Children's Schoolbags are Getting Heavier
(S1)Nowadays, more and more students are complaining about the heavy burden of study they have been faced with.(S2)They find their schoolbags are getting heavier and heavier and the hours they spend on their homework are becoming longer and longer.
(S3)Why can't the students get rid of the heavy load?(S4)For one thing, parents who have too much expectation to their children have given them severe pressure.(S5)They want their children to score high, test well and always be the top students.(S6)For another, teachers at schools also attach too much importance to studies.(S7)They believe high scores of students will bet an obvious evidence of their excellent teaching.
(S8)The society should pay more attention to the health of the students.(S9)Furthermore, teachers and parents should have the correct attitude to the students?development.(S10)Only by this, can we relieve the students?heavy schoolbags.
21. On "Super Girls"
(S1)Our class recently held a heated discussion about the Super Girls's phenomenon which is hot news these past few years, students had different opinions about it.
(S2)62% of the students support it. (S3)They think that it provides a chance for those girls with talent for singing to show themselves. (S4) In this way, some new singers can be trained and so it can promote the development of music. (S5) And it can also improve their consciousness of competition.
(S6)However, 38 percent of the students are against it. (S7)They believe that many students spend too much time and energy on the competition. (S8)Some students even long to become famous overnight and can't concentrate on studies. (S9)What's worse, it can cause some students to worship their idols blindly.
(S10)In my opinion, we can have our preferences, but we shouldn't lose ourselves in the star-pursuing tide.
22. Keeping Pets
(S1)Nowadays, many people would like to keep pets as their companions.(S2)There are so many pet shops, pet foods and even pet clinics around us.(S3)For the pet-keepers, pets are their favorite friends and can bring them countless pleasure.
(S4)However, pets can bring some troubles to others as well.(S5)Some people are complaining that their lives are disturbed by so many dogs' barking.(S6)There are even many cases that some children even get hurt by the dogs or cats.(S7)Therefore, many people think that pet-keeping should be limited.
(S8)So far as I am concerned, pets are our friends so we should treat them kindly.(S9)Yet we should also consider other people's feelings.(S10)I hope while we are enjoying the happiness pets bring us, other people can also continue their quiet and peaceful life.
23. Taking Part in School Activities
(S1)Nowadays, a large number of students show great interest in school activities. (S2)In their eyes, book learning is not their sole task of their school life. (S3)They prefer to take every chance to obtain practical knowledge. (S4)Additionally, they find that after long hours of study, they can relax themselves both physically and mentally by taking part in school activities.
(S5)However, other students insist that school activities have nothing to do with their studies and they fear that school activities will take up too much of their time. (S6)Therefore, they would rather spend most of their time studying. (S7)To them, study should be the only thing emphasized in school.
(S8)As far as I'm concerned, I think we should agree with the former group of students. (S9)We can learn plenty of things from the students we meet in activities. (S10)What's more, we can also get lots of social experiences from doing so, which can never be learned by the "book-worms".
24. On Going Abroad
(S1)Recently, many young people, even students in high schools are dreaming of studying abroad. (S2)Attracted by the advanced science and technology, they are eager to go to foreign countries. (S3)To them, they believe that they are bound to have a bright future.
(S4)But the reality may not be as good as they have expected. (S5)Some high school students may find it difficult to get used to the new surroundings; (S6)Some can not put up with the poor living conditions, some may give up their study because of lack of self-control. (S7)In most cases, many of them are unable to finish their study successfully.
(S8)In my opinion, I think high school students can make their own decisions according to their different family background. (S9)But the most important thing is that they must be clear about their purpose of doing so.(S10)They should also have an all-round preparation.
25. Part-time Jobs
(S1)Nowadays, many students, even some high school students would like to have some kinds of part-time jobs. (S2)In their opinion, part-time jobs offer them good chances to feel lives outside schools. (S3)Additionally, many students think part-time jobs can help them get some pocket money, which makes them somewhat independent from their parents.
(S4)However, parents are worried that part-time jobs will affect the studies of students. (S5)In their eyes, students will not have enough time to learn and rest; (S6)What's more, they fear that early contacts with the society will lead to some juvenile delinquency. (S7)As a result, some parents hold a negative attitude towards their children's decision to find a part-time job.
(S8)In fact, it is not a bad thing to take some part-time jobs. (S9)Nevertheless, students should never forget their main responsibility is to study well. (S10)If they spend too much time doing part-time jobs, their study will certainly be influenced to some degree.
26. Competition and Cooperation
(S1)In today's society, competition and cooperation are equally important, especially in economic field.
(S2)Competition, on the one hand, opens access to learning from opponents, which is necessary in making proper strategies. (S3) On the other hand, competition serves as the main source of social development. (S4)After all, the development of the human history is the result of competition.
(S5)As to cooperation, many organizations view it as an essential factor toward modernization, for cooperation provides natural resources as well as human resources. (S6)Therefore, strengthening the cooperation can never be overstated.
(S7)Competition and cooperation are what modern society is built on. (S8)While we are advocating competition,we can't forget cooperation. (S9)Pure and exclusive competition leads to failure. (S10)Only when competition combines with cooperation can it help in obtaining our goals and satifying our needs.
27. Practice Makes Perfect
(S1)Nowadays, we can find many people complaining about their poor achievements in study. (S2)Some of them are eager to know the secrets of many successful people. (S3)Because they are sure that they must have mastered some special ability in study. (S4)However, they seldom spend any time practicing
(S5)In fact, only by practicing a lot, can we be skillful at certain aspect. (S6)Do you still remember how a baby learns to speak? (S7)He practices the mother tongue day and night and finally he can be fluent in it.
(S8)So, we should always remember that there is no shortcut to success. (S9)No one can be expert without practicing a lot. (S10)We should first bear the hardships in our study, and then we can enjoy the happy fruit.
28. Don't Spoil the Children
(S1)For many years, the "one couple, one child" policy has been carried out in China. (S2)Up to now, it has been proved to be an effective way to control the rapid growth of the population in our country.
(S3)However, the advantages are often accompanied by the disadvantages. (S4)The only child becomes the center or even the "emperor" of the family. (S5)In order to provide a bright future for the only child, many parents or grandparents showed too much love to them. (S6)They are even willing to do almost everything for their children to wipe away any hardship from them.(S7)Yet, when the spoiled children grow up, many of them will greatly disappoint their parents, some of them even commit some crimes.
(S8)Who should be blamed" (S9)I think parents should teach their children to bear hardships and tell them the correct way to communicate with others. (S10)Only by correct education, can the children be useful in the future.
29. Early Education
(S1)It's a good thing that many parents have already realized the importance of education, but some parents are too eager to start their program to educate their babies. (S2)It's not unusual to see a three or four-year-old child be busy learning many things, such as playing the piano, drawing pictures, etc..
(S3)However, few of them have some interest in the things they have learned, and even fewer would be successful in the future.(S4)There's a very famous saying, which is "More haste, less speed." (S5)Without considering the ages and interests of their kids, parents are actually killing their curiosity. (S6)The so-called early education will do great harm to the children's development.
(S7)So, if the parents really pay attention to the children's education, they should first have a better understanding of what early education mean.(S8)Additionally, it would be wise for them to be aware of their children's interests. (S9)If the kids are really interested in certain field, they can make study plans accordingly. (S10)But all in all, children should be given enough time to relax themselves.
30. Keys to the 21st Century
(S1)Young students are the main work force in the 21st Century. (S2)To be a qualified talent, they should acquire two important keys, which are English and the knowledge of computer respectively.
(S3)In the new century, English will be the major language used in communicating with people in different countries. (S4)To master the language means to have more opportunities to succeed. (S5)On the other hand, computers are coming into almost every aspect of our lives. (S6)The knowledge of it will be the basic requirement in the new century. (S7)Without the knowledge of computer, one can hardly cope with others in business or in daily life.
(S8)As a student, we should work harder and master these two important keys to make greater contributions to the society. (S9)We should remember that opportunities will only fall upon the prepared minds. (S10)So, dear students, let's try to cherish the time from now on.
31. Introduction about Yang wei
(S1)Born in Hubei province on February 8th, 1980, Yangwei is China's world gymnastics champion now. (S2)He has achieved several gold medals in the Asian Games and the Olympic Games.
(S3)At the age of five, he entered an amateur training school. (S4)After that he was chosen for the Hubei team when he was ten. (S5) He practiced hard from childhood.
