While on the other hand, tradition may be improved through the international communications.
We should perhaps not be obsessed with our own traditions. On the contrary, we should brave enough to take in all the valuable traditions that comes from different nations. Only in this way, can our society be run properly and only in this way, can we improve on our traditons.
019.Fast Food
In recent years, China has witnessed the prosperity of fast food resturants in big cities. It is quite easy for people to have meals at KFC or Mc donalds. At lunch time, it is hard to find seat in some fast food resturants. While so many small resturants are worried about how to attract more customers,foreign fast food resturants have rushed into China.
Why can they draw so many people's attention?
Firstly, fast food is very fast and convenient, people can stuff themselves within several minutes.
Secondly, the resturants offering fast food also provide a very comfortable environment as well as a warm atmosphere. people can not only enjoy the food they have but can also feel the foreign flavor the resturants try to display.
However, most of the people who regularly go to fast food resturants rarely realize the facts that although the food may taste delicious, fast food usually has little nutrition. I think they should eat less for the sake of their health.
020.Books
Books play an important part in our daily life. There are numerous kinds of books and each one can be categorized according to its content. Books are to human life like food to our bodies. Our lives become colorful because of the existence of books. By reading books, our knowledge can be enriched. From books we can get to know many unfamiliar things; from books we can learn how people live in other counties; from books we can broaden our minds and no longer be isolated in our own living circle. In short, books can provide us with so many things. Yet, some books are harmful to us when reading them we will be greatly affected. Therefore, try to choose good books and read them in a well planed way.
021.Women in the Modern World
Women are playing an increasingly important role today. In many fields of society, you can easily find lots of outstanding women.
with their actions and achivements they have showed that women can almost do everthing as equally well as men.
Meanwhile with the changes of their social role, the position of women in the family has also greatly improved. Yet, there is still some discrimination against women, some organizations refused to have women employees. Even when women are accepted, they often do not enjoy equal pay for equal work. Forthermore, many husbands still think their wives as their possessions. In my eyes, women should try to get more opportunities to get educated and try to be independent both mentally and financially. They should never stop fighting for equal rights in society.
022.Competition and Cooperation
Competition is a common phenomenon in our society, we compete when we play games; we compete in our study and we constantly compete for jobs, customers and profit, etc.
We can say that competition is the one of the motives of development of society. But we often find competition and coorperation go hand in hand. In a football game, one team is competing with the other but each member of the team is cooperating with his team mates. In most cases we can't compete without coorperation thus they are equally important. While we are advocationg competition we can't forget coorperation nothing can be carried to an extreme.
Pure and exclusive competition leads to faliure only when competition combines with coorperation can it help obtaining our goals and satisfying our needs.
023.Theory and Practice
When talking about the importance of theory and practice,some people think theory is rather empty and abstract,so we should try to pratice a lot to obtain our goals;while others maintain that practice is rather too blind and what we really need is to understand profound theories.
Both of these viewpoints have own shortcomings.:The former one only focuses on the importance of practice,but in fact,practice without the guidance of theory is just like a car without an engine.The latter one ignores the importance of practice.Paying no attention to the function of practice will only lead to empty words.
What we should do is to systematically combine these two viewpoints.In our practice,we should try to study the related theory to make our practice easier.While studying theories,we should try to think in which situations we can put the theories into reality.
024.Diligence
Diligence is the key to success.It means persistent work and does not mean that we are to exhaust ourselves all day and night without any rest.The true meaning of diligence is the careful use of time for the purpose of self-improvement.
Many people strongly believe in luck,which is a serious mistake.If luck does exist,it will never fall upon lazy bones.There are also some people who think that they are far superior to others in intelligence and therefore,do not need to study hard.they are sure about their success,but too often they willbe disappointed,as few of them can be successful only with their so-called cleverness.
025.Cities or Countryside
When asked whether they would prefer to live in a city or the countryside,people tend to have different ideas.People who are in favor of city life may think it is too isolated and rather backward to live in the countryside;while advocates for country life argue that the cities are rather crowded and dirty.
In face,each way of living has its advantages as well as disadvantages.People living in the city can enjoy and convenient services,yet never will they have the fresh air breathed by the countrymen.On the other hand,though people living in the county will be close to nature,sometimes they will feel that they have been forgotten by modern society.
In my eyes,people should have the freedom to decide where to live.They can make their own decisions according to their own situation.
026.Part-time Jobs
Nowadays,many students,including some high school students,would like to have some kind of part-time jobs.In their opinion,a part-time job can offer them a good chance to experience the real world outside schools.Additionally,they can get some money from doing this and therefore become somewhat more indepent from their parents.
However,parents are worried that part-time jobs will influence the studies of students.They think students will not have enough time to learn and rest,and what’s more,they fear that early contacts with society,may lead to juvenile delinquency.
In fact,it is not a bad thing to take a part-time job,but students should never forget their main responsibility is to study well.
027. Don't Spoil the Children
For many years the one couple one child policy has been carried out in China,and it's proved to be an effective way to control the rapid growth of the population in our country.However,the advantages are often accompanied by some disadvantages.For example,the only child becomes the center or even the emperor of the family.In order to provide the bright future for the only child,many parents or grandparents show too much love to them,they do almost everything for the children to wipe way and hardship from them.Yet,when the spoiled children grow up,many of them greatly disappointed their parents,some of them even commit crimes.Who should be blamed?I think parents should teach the children to buy hardships and tell them the correct way to communicate with others.Only by correct education can the children be useful in the future.
028. Taking Part in School Activities
Nowadays,a large number of students show great interest in school activities.In their eyes,learning from books is not the sole task of their school career.They also wish to take every chance to obtain practical knowledge.Additionally,they find that after long hours of study,they can relax both physically and mentally by taking part in school activities.
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.Therefore,they would rather spend most of their time studying.
As far as I’m concerned,I think we should agree with the former group of students.We can learn plenty of things from the students we meet in activities.What’s more,we can also get lots of social experience from doing so.Such experience can never be learned by being a “book-worn”.
029.Early Education
It’s a good thing that many parents have already realized the important of education,but some parents are too eager to start their own program to educate their young children.It’s not unusual to see a 3 or 4 years old child busy learning many things,such as playing the piano,or drawing pictures,etc.However,few of them have any interest in the things they have learned,and even fewer will be successful in the future.
There’s a very famous saying,which goes “More haste,less speed.” Without considering the age and interests of their kids,parents are actually killing their curiosity.The so-called early education will do great harm to the children’s development.So,if the parents really want to pay attention to the children’s education,they should first think of their children’s interests,and then make a reasonable plan according to the age of their children.
030.Why Do They Drop out of School?
Nowadays,some students in rural areas drop out of school because of poverty.In some remote parts of the countryside,many families are too poor to afford their children’s education,but some parents also think that earning money is more useful than going to school.As a result,many school children,particularly girls,are deprived of the chance to go to school.
I think every child should have an equal opportunity to be educated.Society should try to help those poor families by donating some money to them.Furthmore,parents should be educated to be aware of the importance of education.Children are the hope of our country,but only when they are properly educated,can they play an important role in the construction of our country.
031.Keys to the 21st Century
Young students wil be the main work force in the 21st Century.To be a qualified talent,they should acquire two important keys,which are English and the knowledge of computers respectively.
In the new century,English will be the major language used in communicating with people in different countries.To master the language means to have more opportunities to succeed.Additionally,computers are coming into almost every aspect of our livers.Knowing about them will be a basic requirement in the new century.Without the knowledge of computers,one can hardly cope with others in business or in daily life.
As a student,we should work harder and master these two important keys to make a greater contribution to society.
032.The Importance of Early Rising
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. First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh in other time of the day as that in the early morning. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health. Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn quickly. Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We can work well with a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for a work. So we urge that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.
033.The Harm of Fake Commodities
With the rapid economic development,fake commodities have rushed into our life and greatly affected the normal market order.As can be seen,fake commodities are greatly harmful to both the consumers and the manufacturers.
But why have fake commodities become so common?For one thing,some businessmen take risks producing and selling fake goods just for the purpose of making money,and some customers buy those products because of the lower prices.For another thing,the punishment for producing fake goods is not severs enough to stop the violators.Therefore,today’s mrket has been flooded with fake brands of food,cothing and medicine,etc.
Fake commodities have left thousands of people in confusion and panic:they no longer have a sense of safety.How terrible!I think it is high time we took some measures to clean up our society.
034.Keeping Pets
Nowsdays,many people would like to keep pets as their companions.There are so many pet shops,pet foods and even pet clinics around us.For the pet owners,pets are their favorite friends and can bring them countless pleasures.
However,pets can bring problems to others as well.Some people complain that their livers are disturbed by so many dogs’ barking;some children even get hurt by the dogs or cats.Many people think that pet-keeping should be limited.
As far as I am concerned,pets are our friends so we should treat them kindly.Yet we should also consider other people’s feelings.I hope while we are enjoying the happiness pets bring to us,other people can also continue their quiet and peaceful lives.
035.Opportunities
Some people believe that opportunities only knock at the door of the luckiest few regardless of their ability,educational background or what kind of person they are.Therefore,instead of working hard to create some chances,they wait passively for the arrival of opportunities.
However,many others think that opportunities can be obtained with active efforts.In their eyes,opportunities always come to those people who are well prepared.So these people always work hard and try their best to seek every possible opportunity.
As to me,I think I would stand on the side of the latter group of people .If we do nothing but wait,we will rarely have any opportunities,as opportunities and our efforts are closely related.
036.Children’s Schoolbags Are Getting Heavier
Nowadays,more and more students are complaining about the heavy burden of study they are faced with.They find their schoolbags are getting heavier and heavier and the hours they spend on their homework are becoming longer and longer.
Why can’t the students get rid of the heavy load?For on thing,parents who expect too much of their children put severe pressures on them.They want their children to get high grades,do well in tests and always be the top students.For another thing,teachers at schools also attach too much importance to studies.They believe that students’ high scores will provide obvious evidence of their excellent teaching.
Society should pay more attention to the health of the students,and teachers and parents should have the correct attitude towards the students’development.Only in this way,can we relieve the students of their heavy schoolbags.
