Environmental problems such as ice-melting and greenhouse effect have become severe increasingly in the last decades. Some people argue that only governments and large companies can address problems while people are too limited to make a difference on this issue. From my own perspective, not only authorities and big enterprises have capacities to modify this condition but also every person can beautify our surroundings neat and tidy.
To begin with, we should shoulder the obligation to take care of our unique and single earth. If rubbish were thrown here and there, the globe would become a horrible garbage yard, an irreversible disaster towards the whole eco-system, which is hardly imagined. By contrast, the entire world would be altered more harmonious and cleaner atmosphere due to environmental protection in mind and practical actions.
Furthermore, it’s widely acceptable that citizens’ notions have a positive impact on governments’ environmental strategy and companies’ decisions. For instance, the suggestion of saving industrial water consumption aroused by a region or a union might be applied by governments through enacting laws to conduct the measure, however, which eventually will be carried out by single individuals.
The authorities and large firms have the possession to contribute to our environmental improvement as well. It is companies’ sufficient resources like wealth, brand influence that facilitates the protection more effectively. They could raise public awareness easily through some approaches, e. g., Public service advertising, which people cannot accomplish by one’s aspiration. Nonetheless, the entire environmental career still relies on individual’s devotion.
In summary, both parts of powers need to be taken seriously. People acting as participants bring about the change reflected by the accumulated small efforts of every citizen. Meanwhile, the government and companies also play a
leading role in environmental challenges. Only by a combination of all sides of contributions, the world can be ecological, balanced, and peaceful. 070210
While this statement is true for most of dot.com generations as they are easy to find relevant web articles, they do need the knowledge for goofing (internet surfing) to be able to search the information in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. However, imagine that one neither have computer skill nor IT knowledge, this statement may be too harsh for them.
The main purpose for a public library is not only borrowing books but also to serve the community’s needs, such as, book club, read hard copy of magazines and newspapers, senior’s getting together. This benefit provides by the public libraries in our society should not be underestimated. bbs.3 gbbs.com
The computer technology has no doubt at all replaced most of function, that is, we can read books from the academic database; newspapers and publishes from almost everywhere, this means that we do not need many hard copies and environment friendly for the earth. However I am not so much convinced that public libraries can replace other functions that we need other than providing information or books.
The important issue we need to recognize is that there are not many population who can use computer to serve their needs, and even may not afford to own a computer. Some of them are using the public libraries for reading the large print books; others are coming to relax for reading magazines with friends; and the others may just come for a cool spot in a hot summer. bbs.3 gbbs.com
Governments in the world are trying to improve nations’ lifestyle in every aspects, in this case, how can it be satisfactory to say that take away a public library by replacing a computer is improving our quality life. (282 words) 070303
Children are put in a particular grade according to age in our education system. It is
obvious that all children are not of the same intelligence level and sometimes it becomes difficult for educators to teach them in the same class. Therefore, some
people feel that there should be separate teaching for intelligent students and weak students.
If we look at the benefits, then yes, intelligent students can be taught at their pace
and the sessions can be made more interesting for them and the same thing applies to
the weak students. Thus, both the categories of students would enjoy learning. Moreover, different teaching tactics can be adopted in each group to give students
maximum benefits. In a mixed group, many times weak students cannot cope up with
the pace of studies and so come under high pressure and get de-motivated. When
they are separated, teachers can handle them tactfully and bring them back the lost confidence.
Furthermore, it has been seen that sometimes the more intelligent students show
disruptive behaviour. They can grasp things very soon and then disturb the others. It
can become very difficult for the teacher to maintain discipline in the class. On the other hand, weak students would automatically develop an inferiority complex
if they are made to realise that they are weak in studies by separating them. In addition to that, the other group might not treat them well, which can have a direct
effect on their psyche. On the contrary, when the students study in a mixed group, a
sense of competition develops and weak students are motivated to study. Even
intelligent students can help weak students in studies and the bond can be strengthened. This way, even weak students would not feel belittled.
In my opinion, children should not be separated as only academic abilities are not
enough to judge the intelligence of the students. I would rather suggest what I had in
my school, and that is extra coaching to weak students. It serves the purpose best as
teachers save their time and energy and yet maintain the effectiveness. 070310
In today’s world, the technology has improved significantly. Since the innovative advices such mobile phones or computers has invented, it has many impacts to human lives in many ways. These gadgets can extend to human beings, while other agree that it has some drawbacks and can lead to disappear of traditional literacy skills such as writing letter. From my perspective, I do agree with this statement for several reasons.
Firstly, sending text via mobile phones or computers is much easier and very convenient than writing letters. Typing short messages on a handy phone, sending them and delivering to recipients are spending only a few minutes. Using technological devices transfer messages can do whenever writers feel like which are very convenient unlike sending text by tradition ways. With writing a letter, writers have to actually write down on a piece of paper with a pen or pencil, enclose with an envelope and attach with a stamp which are required some time to finish all the process.
Secondly, there are many alternative options from using e-mails and text mobile phone which are very interesting. These days, writers can be able to send a large file or attach with some photos or music along with messages which make a better way for communication. Many happy birthday cards or
some special event invitations can be easily taken by sending e-cards online. However, with the tradition way of communication, people will not be able to send messages in other selective options.
Lastly, the use of mobile phones and computers can save a lot of time than sending letters. If people send urgent messages via letters, It will take at least a week for recipient receiving messages. However, using mobile phones for texting consumes only a few seconds and all urgent information can delivery to a reader quickly. Without the innovative communicating methods, it would be very difficult to send message in traditional ways.
In conclusion, even though writing letters has sentimental value to recipients, with the high- tech of devices it has many merits to all communications in the modern world. Preserving traditional writing letters is very inevitable these days and it is replaced by all technological methods such as e-mail, eventually. 070322
People have a varied opinion whether the government should assist a financial support to the artists or not. However, while it is true that the government should help artists, I would argue that spending money on artists is not a waste of money
It is often said that art forms are an integral part of the nation's cultural heritage. They maintain that by providing financial assisting to artists, the government can help protect the cultural heritage of the country. Moreover, they point out the advent of films and television has considerably affected the popularity of other art forms, and without such support from the governments could mean that many ethnic art forms will die out.
However, despite this argument, I would argue that spending money on arts and artists is wasteful as there are several other sectors that desperately need government funding. For example, in many undeveloped and developing countries millions of people do not have an access to safe drinking water, and even proper education for many children s beyond reach. Meeting these requirements is far more important than protecting the nation's art forms from extinction.
In conclusion i tend to feel that the government support in arts is unjustified, and therefore, could be better spend on other development factors which are much needed 070331
The availability and application of modern devices and tools of communications like Fax machines, telephone, interactive TV and computer have brought tremendous convenience and efficiency to both life and work. Thanks to telecommunications, daily tasks and business transactions can be performed without meeting other people in person. This practice certainly has positive effects on the individual and the society as a whole.
Undoubtedly, e-shopping and e-banking make life more convenient than ever before. People can stay home comfortably, looking on the Internet where a vast sea of information is available to find what they need. They Log on to the relevant websites and look for detailed information on the products and services that they are interested in. They read the descriptions, examine the pictures, and check the prices. Eventually, they make a decision and send an e-mail to order and pay for it by e-banking. All can be done at home, without scanning newspaper advertisements, reading reference print materials, going around downtown as they did before. As a result, they have more time to take part in social activities, pursue hobbies and interests and communicate with families, which are all indispensable parts of quality life.
The trend of doing business by telecommunications equally benefits the whole society because business can be done more efficiently and effectively at a much lower cost. An extra benefit is that more natural resources can be saved. Moreover, small businesses have almost the same opportunities to advertise and promote their products and services on line to compete with those large ones, which makes the whole society fairer.
To sum up, performing everyday tasks and business transactions by means of telecommunications benefits the individual and the society enormously. There is simply no going back.

It is a fact that advertisements are now widespread on mass media. Some people believe that these do not serve any beneficial purposes and even spoil the society. There should be an advertising restriction to hinder their negative impacts on customers. So everything has its own pros and cons and that is why someone rightly said that all that glitters is not gold.
It is understandable that people want to remove advertisements from our lives because advertisements can be disturbing, therefore the pumping out of advertisement on the internet is distractive when doing research online and insertion of ads during TV dramas and movies is obnoxious. Moreover, advertisements are sometimes misleading and cause impulsive purchase thus the exaggeration and eye-binding techniques employed in the advertisement overshadow the true function of products and the consumers, especially the young people, would fall victims to this intensive commercial completion. On the other side, it is irrefutable that the proponents of advertisement argue that it is unfair to ban advertisement because it is the only efficient and viable way to show their products. If the advertisement is eradicated then the link between products and consumers would be cut off. Without advertisement, companies would find it hard to reach out to their customers. Consequently, giant companies would manipulate the market and small companies would never be known by the public. Furthermore, advertisement provides more options to consumers.
To draw the conclusion, I pen down by stating that advertisement is disturbing now and then, there is realistic need of it. The government should make them more trustworthy. Nowadays, the advertisement is an inescapable and necessary existence. 070421
Televisionscreens,newspapers,buses,andalmostallcitystreetsarefloodedbyallkindsofadvertisements.Thishasbothadvantagesanddisadvantagestoconsumerswhoareunavoidablyinfluenced,thoughthedegreesvaryfrompersontoperson.
Because of the advertisements placed by many competing companies, consumers are able to learn about certain new products rapidly. If a product happens to be what some consumers need, they might be attracted to make a purchase and have trials. If it turns out to be really good, people would set about recommending it to friends and the sales of this product will go up very quickly. So, we see this is a win-win situation both to consumers and manufacturers and we also see that consumers are not just influenced profoundly all at once. It takes time for them to establish faith in the advertised products.
In most cases, the advertised products are good and worth buying. But there are also cases where the effects or functions of a certain product are much exaggerated and it will definitely fool some people when they are attracted all at once and go to buy it. Since a product can only win the market through its quality and its long established fame, there’ s every reason to believe that those fake or much exaggerated products will eventually lose their market shares and die out. Thus, we see that the market is selective and consumers are sensible in the long term.
In developed countries, there are strict censorship and supervising systems regarding advertising. If the advertisements put up by accompany fails to honor the advertised effects, it would be termed as fraud, thus violating the law which could lead to really serious result. In most cases, the manufacturing company would be fined so heavily that it would be difficult for it to survive any longer.
From the foregoing discussion, we can see that advertisements influence consumers both favorably and unfavorably and the degrees of this influence differ from person to person. To protect consumers, governments can follow the practice of developed countries by enforcing really strict censorship and supervising laws in regard to advertising as a whole. 070428
Air transport is commonly used to move fruits and vegetables to places where those farm products can’t grow or are out of season. The benefits of such business are obvious, but air transport also creates a number of problems.
Transport of fruits and vegetables by air enables consumers to enjoy a wider variety of fresh and in-season farm products from all over the world. Not only is air transport good for consumers, it is also a blessing for farmers because the market is no longer restricted by regions. As a result, air transport increases the sale volume by selling more products in more places. Moreover, air transport of food has now become a major resource of incomes for air companies. In the past, air companies’ business mainly came from serving passengers. However, facing an increasingly tough market, air companies need to expand their share of market to serve a wider range of customers in order to stay in the game and make a profit. With a booming economy and more money to spend, people create a great potential for food transport business and good margin for air companies. In spite of such benefits, air transport is not free of problems. One major issue is high cost. Air transport is probably the most expensive way of transport. Higher costs entail high prices, which in turn deprive people with less money the opportunities to enjoy such privileges. So air transported food is now for the rich, a fact that is unfair for poor people. In addition, it is not the best option to solve problems by transporting food from outside for places where certain kinds of fruits does not grow. The most optimal way, it seems to me, is that we should change the environment required by such plants using scientific and biological methods such as creating suitable soil and temperature. Such solutions will be proven to be ultimately cost-effective and fundamental. More importantly, research indicates that air transport pollutes the environment. For example, Britain transports half its food by air. However one kilo New Zealand fruit emits five kilo warm house gas on its way to destination. Therefore, some environmental groups and books advocate people to distinguish local fruit and air-transported fruit in an effort to cut the pollution from food consumption. In conclusion, air transport has many benefits for consumers and farmers, but it also has problems such as high cost and pollution. More effective and environmental friendly solution should be found to address such problems. 070512
It is argued that volunteering should be made part of the school curriculum. This essay agrees with that suggestion completely because of the benefits it brings to pupils. The essay will first look at how voluntary work can help
students develop soft skills and then discuss how these extracurricular activities are valued by universities and employers.
Education should not be limited to strictly academic pursuits and those in education should also develop life skills, such as teamwork, empathy and self-discipline, and one of the best ways to hone these aptitudes is through community service. Serving those less fortunate than ourselves teaches us many lessons including how to work with people from other backgrounds and the value of hard work. For example, I personally volunteered to spend 6 weeks in Africa teaching disadvantaged children and this led to a much higher work ethic when I returned to my studies.
Many colleges and companies are also increasingly looking for this type of experience. Most school leavers have the same grades and charitable works can help set you apart from the herd. For example, Cambridge and Oxford receive thousands of applications from straight-A students every year and can only accept a small percentage of applicants. What you have done outside the classroom is often the thing that differentiates you from everyone else and gets you that coveted spot.
In conclusion, teenagers should be made to partake in unpaid work as part of their schooling because it will help them learn things they wouldn’t ordinarily learn from their teachers and it will also boost their chances of getting into third level education. 070519
These days, the amount of people using computer is increasingly overwhelming, which is justified by the benefits of this technology device brings to our lives. It is evident that this device plays a crucial role in term of education in some aspects, though, the place of teachers still remain their importance in others areas. In this essays, I will analyze both the effective role of teachers as well as computers on the field of education.
This is undeniable fact that in education, computer is being used as a tool that
provide people many useful functions. For example, in earlier time, people entailed long - hour staying in the library for researching and learning, though, nowadays, it is simply dealt by the click of a button which can access to a variety of valuable material. Also, contacting with friends through computers by using Internet is not only fast but also a cheap way to trading and talking about studying material. Moreover, school's council can easily contact with their students by posting news or important notices in their official website.
On the other hand, the important presence of teacher in some areas of education is impossible to replace by any machine including computers. Having been taught by a human being, students have a tendency to be more concentrate on the material and respectful. Also, teachers, who spend their time to interact and instruct to students, are easily to realize each students' deficiencies and their capacities to design the suitable instructions as well as encourage and provide them many useful advice.
To conclude, both using computers and being taught by teachers have their own essential contributions in term of education, which by no means can be replaced. Hence, only when controlled balance between two methods, can the field of education develop perfectly. 070602
Nowadays, an increasing number of impoverished nations are focusing on the development of tourism. There is no doubt that tourism is becoming a crucial industry in all countries.
In some southeastern Asian developing countries such as Thailand and India, tourism has tackled the unemployment problem for local inhabitants to some extent. More specifically,it even stimulate the economy as well. Furthermore, tourism has been alternative to agriculture for local residents' suvival. And this is the main reason why these developing states highlight the significant of tourism.
Nevertheless, nothing can be immune from criticism, the negative should not be ignored, including tourism. Although there are some positive effect for
developing nations,but the local nature balance might be broken by numerous tourists, China is a good example for this. A vast number of poetic and picturesque tourist sights has no longer been attractive in China. Worse still, some of them have been permanently vanished from this planet. Additionally, the foreign culture may have an enormous impact on local traditional customs, and some local dwellers may gradually abandon their unique customs just for a higher living standard. As a result, the authorities have to make great efforts to protect these endemic customs.
Based on what I have mentioned above, I think the negative impact of tourism overweighs its positive for an impoverished nations. Economy can be promoted through other methods, however national environment can not be easily recovered. The natural resource is a fortune we borrow from our descendants rather than a heritage inherited from ancestors. 070609
宣称历史文物和艺术作品都可以从电脑上看到，因此公共博物馆和艺术画廊便不再需要了简直就是荒唐。
It is simply absurd to assert that with historical objects and works of art being able to be seen through a computer, public museums and art galleries will no longer be needed.
首先，电脑永远替代不了真正的公共博物馆和艺术画廊。不管电脑影像何等真实、形象，它们依然仅仅是影像而已，不是我们真正看到的、甚或还会被许可用指端触摸一下的历史文物和艺术作品。对于那些声称因为可以从电脑屏幕上看到想看的一切，所以博物馆和艺术画廊没有继续存在必要的人们，我想建议他们就从电脑里娶个太太或者嫁个丈夫得了，犯不着去娶嫁真实生活中的人！
First of all, computers can never replace real public museums and art galleries. No matter how
real and vivid computer images are, they are only images, not the historical objects and works
of art that we see in real or even might be allowed to touch with our fingertips. For those who
claim museums and galleries are no longer needed because they can see all they want to on a
computer screen, I’d like to suggest that they marry a wife or husband in the computer rather than in real life!
其次，参观真实的博物馆和艺术画廊在多方面有益。一来可以锻炼身体：在我们赶往博物馆或者艺术画廊并漫步现场的过程中，我们得到了一些锻炼，这对我们的身体健康有诸多好处。二来我们可以大饱眼福，亲眼看到那里的所有物件并切身体会那种神奇、美妙和精湛的工艺。这个过程是主动地看我们想看的一切，不是被动地去看别人在电脑屏幕上展示给我们的。再来就是我们离开电脑去现场观看真实物件可以保护我们的视力。
In the second place, visiting real museums and art galleries is a rewarding experience in many
respects. For one thing, it is a good exercise. While we are making the trip to a museum or art
gallery and then strolling about on site, we get some exercise which does a lot of good to our
health. For another thing, we can feast our eyes on all kinds of things there and experience the
wonder, beauty and exquisite workmanship with our own eyes in an active way instead of in a
passive manner by looking at what are being displayed to us by others on the screen. For yet
another thing, we protect our eyesight by moving away from the computer screen and see the real objects on site.
电脑给我们的生活带来了很多方便，这是真的。有时候，特别是当我们暂时不能亲临博物馆和艺术画廊时，我们可以大概了解一下现场都展示了哪些东西。然而，我们从电脑屏幕上看到的与我们现场亲眼看到和感受到的毕竟是不完全一样的。 It is true that computers have brought great conveniences to our life. At certain times, especially when it is temporarily impossible for us to visit museums and art galleries in person, we can get a
rough picture of what are on display on site. However, what we see from a computer screen is, after all, not exactly the same as what we see and feel with our own eyes on site.
由此我们可以得出结论：电脑永远不可能替代真实的博物馆和艺术画廊。因此，说不需要去博物馆和画廊了因为历史文物和艺术作品都可以通过电脑屏幕来欣赏了是荒谬的。
In conclusion, computers will never be able to replace real public museums and art galleries.
Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that one does not need to go to museums and art galleries as
historical objects and works of art can be appreciated on a computer screen. 070616
In the cotemporary world, compared with traditional foods, an increasing number of people prefer international fast foods. And when it comes to effect of that fact, there is no doubt that it raises a huge debate. What is more, as a matter of the fact, the number of person who holds the point that it has negative influence on our life is more than the one who puts forward to the opposite view. As for me, the phenomenon, traditional foods being replaced by international fast foods, is harmful to our families and societies. Two reasons are as follow. First and foremost, it is generally agreed that different kinds of traditional foods represent different periods of historical culture. As we all know, protecting our culture is our responsibility, especially as a qualified citizen. Therefore, it is understandable that we should shoulder the obligation to preserve the traditional foods. Moreover, from the point of my view, in terms of the nutritive value, it is obvious that traditional foods are better than international fast foods. Personally speaking, health is of value as well as significance. Furthermore, it is an old saying goes that health is to our life, as water is to fish or sun is to living things. Hence, I firmly believe that the trend is not benefit to our life.
Admittedly, international fast foods have some advantages. It is generally acknowledged that fast foods are convenient as well as time-saving. As the development of society and economy in the last decade, it is the efficiency that we pay attention to. As a result, living in a world of speed, having fast foods is an wise choice.
To sum up, from the point of my view, traditional foods are indispensable part of our life, which means that taking measures to conserve traditional foods is inevitable. In addition, for the sake of health, we have the responsibility to reserve traditional foods. The fact that traditional foods are being replaced has a negative influence on our life. 070628
The time has come for international soul-searching about the environment. The industrial revolution has changed forever the relation between humanity and nature. In this essay I intend to explore the problems caused by the increased consumption of oil, forests and fresh water, and suggest some solutions.
Talking about oil first; it is well known that it is non-renewable and so will finish very soon. Pollution is another problem that is caused by the use of oil. Oil is used in vehicles, industries and homes. Simple measures can be taken to lessen its use. At individual level we can use more public transport; we can make lifestyle changes and use fewer luxuries. At government level, people can be educated. More effort can be done to research alternate sources of energy.
Secondly, water, especially fresh water, is another big area of concern. There can be no life without water. Water is the most precious commodity today. Fresh water resources are depleting fast. At individual level we should use water conservatively and recycle water wherever possible. At government level desalination plants can be set. Strict laws can be enforced for industries against pollution of fresh water by effluents.
Finally, because of deforestation, many animals and plants, which provides us food, medicine and other valuable products, are facing extinction. We have less bio-diversity also. Moreover, when trees are cut, the soil is exposed to heavy rain and so is washed away. The soil also becomes infertile. Also, trees absorb carbon-dioxide, which causes global warming because of the increase of greenhouse gases. A forestation should be promoted as a solution. If each one of us plants a tree and nurtures it for few months, then the day is not far when we shall have greenery all over.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that oil, forests and fresh water are very necessary if we have to survive. So we should use them judiciously else our future is bleak. 070707
As the world is changing, countries increasingly encourage young people to remain in compulsory education year such as primary and secondary school as a possible way to face a global competition. In some places, secondary school aims and purposes are providing a general education hanging around in wide range. One argument is that secondary school should make children just focusing on a narrow range of subjects in accordance to specific careers. Therefore, I personally believe that vocational education and training system should be paid more attention as the strongest ones for economic and capacity building rather than general education approaching.
Basically, general approaching in secondary education might have strong argument as well as improving human being in various skills. Finnish advocate for generalist education showed general approaching is beneficial for students who leave an individual skill able to adapt or change than one with very specific skills. As it can be seen, this is particularly goal given rapid technological change, where will give a very advanced understanding of current equipment in many areas.
In addition, secondary school in general method drives students to get higher education. Take Indonesian students as example, more than a half of high school-leavers continue their study to university, whereas more vocational
education-leavers tend to get a job first. It means that general students are more likely to get professional grades by university that is useful for reaching better job.
However, vocational and training system is advantageous in human perspective related to economic and capacity building. Firstly, the vocational qualification has been designed to respond for labour market needs. The qualification include 120 credits in three years of full time study, where consists of on-the-job-learning at least 20 credits, and 30 credits for working life or other learning environments, and other credits for implementation Narrow Based Program and Bridging Program. Secondly, vocational schools help students who come from poverty economic to get fast-study of improving skills in work force. A statistic showed in Hungary, 54 % of pupils in vocational schools came from bottom socioeconomic, and in South Korea the figure is 52%. Thirdly, vocational school provides higher productivity skills for graduate school. Finland as the best education systems in the world has 119 study programmes leading to 53 different vocational qualifications confirmed by Ministry of Education. It is possible way to provide nation professional labor which changed from human-load to national assets.
The aforementioned evidence shows that although general education gives flexible skills appropriate in recent technology development, vocational approaching can provide an excellent graduation in professional skill that support economic development and capacity building. Where possible, this trend might change and disappear over the decade, the curriculum education system should be adjusted with citizens need. 070714
I disagree with the view that technology has reduced the need to attend lectures. I firmly believe that going to college or university and attending lectures is as important as before and even more so. In the following paragraphs I shall put forth my arguments to support my views.
It is irrefutable that computer and internet have made possible distance education and on-line education. In this regard, computers are a boon for the
handicapped, those living in remote areas and those in job. They can study any time of the day or night because of the internet. This has made education approachable for many who cannot for some reason or the other attend a college or university.
However, I still feel that technology can replace the need for going to the classroom. When students attend lectures, they learn from teachers. In learning and practice of more complex ideas, the computer is not adequate. It can tell if the answer is right or wrong but it cannot tell where the student went wrong. Tasks involving reasoning cannot be taught using computers. Moreover, teachers add their own knowledge gained through experience to that of books and other resources.
Furthermore, teachers can stimulate interest and it is an undeniable fact that interested stimulated people tend to learn more. They can keep students focused on study. A student studying by himself may get bored and stop studying. Teachers can provide a faster and simpler way to present information to the students. They can come down to the level of a student and so are definitely better than computers. What is more, teachers are role models for students. They are scholars in action. They not only teach academic subjects, but also many social skills. Finally, when students attend lectures, they have interaction with other students which gives them a sense of competition to study more.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that there is no doubt that modern technology has added many new ways to reach education to students, but attending lectures will always hold its importance 070721
1. 哪些问题是全球性问题？
回答： 全球性问题有环境问题、人口问题、贫困问题、全球金融危机恐怖主义。 2. 查一查最近你的国家和哪些国家正在共同合作解决全球性问题，解决的是什么问题？
回答： 我国和美国双方谈判拟就了一份关于加强气候变化、能源和环境合作的谅解备忘录，美方由美国和能源部牵头，中方由国家发展和改革委员会牵头。根据该谅解备忘录，双方建立气候变化对话与合作机制，以推动：关于国内应对气候变化战略和的讨论和交流；向低碳经济转型的务实解决方案；成功的国际气候变化谈判；气候友好技术的联合研究、开发、应用和双方同意的转让；具体项目的合作；适应气候变化；能力建设和公众意识提高；中美城市、大学和省州应对气候变化的务实合作。双方决定通过油气论坛、能源对话和新建立的中美清洁能源研究中心继续开展务实合作，并将在今年内举行相关会议。双方承诺在可再生能源、清洁煤（包括碳捕集和封存）、智能电网、页岩气、第二和第三代生物燃料以及先进核能方面加强合作。双方同意在战略石油储备、提高能源市场透明度等领域开展对话。双方表示，愿在大流行性及传染性疾病的暴发包括抗药性肺结核带来的挑战方面继续进行合作。双方还愿进一步在加强全球机构与治理、公共卫生挑战、全球扶贫等其他至关重要的全球性问题上加强对话与合作，以提高人类福祉，推动全球可持续发展。 3. 国与国之间的友好关系对于解决国际性问题有什么帮助？
回答： 随着经济全球化的深入发展，世界各国在经济、政治、社会、文化等方面相互渗透、相互依存日益加深，全球性问题日益增多。这些问题或现象涉及到全球所有国家，而解决问题又非一个国家或几个国家所能及或能够取得成效。只有国与国之间加强合作，才能携手共进，共同解决世界问题。 4. 国与国的关系受到什么因素的影响？
回答： 国与国之间的关系主要受到政治、经济、文化、军事等因素的影响，简而言之就是国家利益。从政治上来说，每个国家都希望掌握话语权，掌握国际政坛主导地位，实现自己的政治利益。从经济上说，每个国家在国际交往中都希望获得最大的经济利益，借以提高国民财富和国家财政收入。从文化上来说，不同的意识形态也会影响国际交往，不同的宗教、不同的信仰会影响人们的相互理解。从军事上说，国家之间的边界问题等领土安全也会影响国家交往的质量 。 070728
Undoubtedly, individuals have different opinions on how to carry out their tasks and duties - with or without helping others. While some may agree that isolated working or playing method is more beneficial, others, including myself, believe that group work can be more practical and can teach more life skills.
On the one hand, working without the participation of any partner has two major advantages. The first is that people can have their own authorization. Being more independent, they can make their own plans and handle their job themselves. As a prime example, a computer engineer can focus better on his tasks if he does not have any partner. To design a video program, he can use the Internet and download the needed software without asking any assistance from any person. Furthermore, this method can be more profitable. Whereas in team working, the amount of money earned from product sales should be divided into several people, a single professional can save this money, and profits would not be shared among several partners. While working alone people can focus more on the job and thus can achieve results faster. When a child plays alone, he gives more attention and thinks more than talking with others. Thus working alone could be better sometimes.
On the other hand, despite the mentioned positive impacts of solitary works, in my view, team works can be the best option. One important reason behind it is that members would become more highly motivated. Clearly, by having more inspired individuals who have the same aim, each member will have a better feeling to finish the job. In particular, had not eBay, a prosperous international e-commerce trade which has surpassed other rivals since the last decade, worked in a group, it would not have become one of the most successful businesses in the 2000s. In addition, this method is less time-consuming. Obviously, each person has a specific ability to run the business; therefore, a problem can be addressed far simpler when it comes to the team working. For instance, although doctors may partially cover the nurses’ or other healthcare employees’ duties, they are not as skilful as they should be, and working as a healthcare team will be more beneficial to the patients. Working in a team has many other advantages. Team members have different perspectives and thus solving a problem could be easier. Children, when play in a team, can learn from each other. They learn to share, communicate, solve problems as a team, lead others, help others compete in a positive way which is an essential quality for us. Thus team activities teach us far more practical skills of life than working or playing alone.
In conclusion, in some cases, lonely working might be useful. However, from my perspective, group jobs preferably spend less time, and members are
encouraged more to be active and successful in their job. Similarly, the group work enhances many practical skills we need in our life. 070811
Food has we know it today has been modified genetically to meet the needs of the world’s population. Whether this substantial scientific intervention represents the evolution for the human being or not is a debatable subject, as this also counts for the use of chemically modified crops, which are blamed to cause hazardous health issues worldwide.
Firstly, farmers have found genetically modified crops easier to grow; these crops do not need fertilizers or pesticides because these substances have been already included in their seeds, through the scientific intervention. For instance, in south of Brazil, it is seen large extensions of genetically modified corn that grow prosperously in those regions. Farmers then feel benefited from human intervention and see this as truly development.
However, these scientific involvements are clearly not free from, mainly, health problems. It has been demonstrated that this type of modified corn is causing more and more cancer related diseases and there is a sudden decrease in life’s expectancy in several regions of the world. In Brazil, for example, the rates of stomach cancer have increased dramatically due to consumption of chicken fed with genetically modified corn. Although rates and numbers speak for themselves, the economic convenience will not prevent farmers from using these crops.
To conclude, I strongly agree that the quality of the food we consume today has changed for the worse, in addition to being a hazard to our health. However, I think that there is not much to be done about this situation because more benefits than drawbacks are seen worldwide; besides, technological and scientific advances are always considered as synonym of progress, especially to farmers. 070816
It is true that humans are consuming the natural resources at a staggering pace and we are probably running out of fossil fuels within 200 years.
There are two major underlying reasons for this problem. One of them is the population explosion in recent decades. The global population has reached 60 billion a few years ago and is expected to keep growing. To support the everyday life of such a huge amount of people, more energy and material is needed for transportation, electricity and construction. Most of these resources come from natural resources such as land, forest and fossil oil. Another cause of the high consumption of natural resources is the changing modern lifestyles. Nowadays, human activities are increasingly relying on fossil fuels. For example, the number of cars is increasing dramatically in the last decades. More and more oil is consumed to keep the wheels running.
In order to mitigate this problem, some measures should be taken by governments. Firstly, birthrate control is needed, especially in some developing countries. Some countries such as China have adopted some policies which have significantly reduced the birthrate and controlled the population growth. Secondly, encouraging people to choose “greener” transportation and use energy from renewable resources like water, wind and solar power could be another method to decrease the consumption of natural resources.
To sum up, there are always more solutions than problems. If governments can implement these aforementioned measures, the risk of running out of natural resources could be effectively controlled. 070818
There are so many languages around the world, thereby discouraging people from different regions or cultures to communicate with each other. To overcome this obstacle, some people propose to invent a new language which will be used as an “international language” among people who come from different areas. Although this proposal seems reasonable, I personally see more disadvantages than advantages of inventing a new language.
First of all, a new language would not be accepted by many people because it would be artificial and not based on any culture. In addition, people would have to spend time to learn the grammar and the words of the new language. Secondly, promoting a new language requires financial support and a lot of time. For instance, in some countries such as China and India there are many languages because it is financially unrealistic to teach everyone in poor areas one language. Although this might be achieved finally, it will take as long as a hundred years or even more.
Another reason against having a new language is that it is bound to be divided into dialects and so the whole purpose of having one language would be lost. For instance, in Punjab, a small state of India, the mother tongue Punjabi has two dialects which are quite different from each other. So it would be unrealistic to expect one language without different dialects in the whole world. 070825
People have different views on whether a government should support the elderly and retired people financially or not. I believe that it is mostly an individual’s responsibility to save money for their retirement but I totally disagree that elderly people shouldn't receive any support from the state. The combination of personal support and the government’s support could be the best possible solution for the retired elderly people.
I think the government should support the elderly people financially as this is the part of a social democracy which states the equality of opportunities and distribution of resources fairly. For example, many developed countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United State are following this strategy by allowing some money to be cashed for elderly people upon their retirement. Moreover, it is their right to have some financial support as they had paid their taxes throughout their lives. So they have to take some of their money back when they need it. The government should allocate money to take care of its citizens no matter what are their ages.
On the other side, those elderly people do not have any alternative way of earning, as their chances for employment is quite low in contrast to the young people, they should be taken care by the savings they have, by their own children and by the government.
The people should always have savings and relatives who would be taking care of them when they become old. The parents take care of their kids and sacrifice a lot. The children should always be ready to take care of their elder parents. A prudent person would have some savings for his old years and thus it is also an individual’s responsibility to save for their future need. Furthermore, the government can’t deny its role to take care of the elder people. The combination of these three can be very effective to take care of people when they become old.
In conclusion, governments should take the responsibility of providing senior citizens with all their financial needs as part of ensuring their well-being and at the same time it is an individual's responsibility to save money for their hardest time and their sons and daughters have some responsibilities as well. 070901
Traditionally, higher education is considered to be a necessary pathway to succeed in future careers. However, some people think that the practical skill we obtain from work experience is the key to a promising career. In my opinion, no matter higher education or work experience can individually guarantee a successful career and they should be combined together.
Benefits of having a college education are numerous. In college, people focus more on some specific academic area that they are interested in. It is a great time for one to get well prepared for future career. During the years spent in university, students are fulfilled with knowledge that will benefit them in work and life in long term.
However, only having the certificate of university education is not enough. Working experience also give people deep insight towards the industry they study. It is true that some employer will more likely to offer job to candidates who have university education background. While, apart from the bachelor or
master degree, years of related working experience will definitely gain the competitiveness of candidates since working experience represents the employees have practical skills, not only just stand on the theoretical level. But people should further their study even though they have already get jobs. That is why some master courses are face to applicants who have at least two or three years or working experience, such as professional accounting and MBA.
In conclusion, higher education and working experience benefits us in different ways. They complement each other to contribute to our future career. 070908
Having a car has become an essential part of many peoples’ lives. It offers flexibility to their lives and work and also provides ready access to a variety of services and leisure options. However, a range of problems have been identified and need to be addressed. The problems associated with frequent car use are becoming increasingly familiar to the general public. The widespread use of
car has real environmental costs. Vehicles are major sources of urban air pollution and green house gases emissions. It is reported that
road traffic is the source of one third of all harmful air pollution in the world. Car exhausts contribute to acid rain, carbon dioxide,
and lead, which cause global warming and damage human health. Traffic jam is another problem. As more and more people drive to work rather than work, cycle or take public transport, there are heavy traffic
jams almost every day at rush hours. The most serious problem ve these problems, some people suggest that the government should impose strict restriction on the use of cars, but I don't think this is the best option, because this would lead to reduced mobility for people and a decline in the car industry. I think a better solution would be for car manufacturers to design more
environmentally friendly cars, which run on solar power or hydrogen. Also, traffic problems can be alleviated by building more underground tunnels and park
however,
is safety. Car accidents cause huge numbers of casualties every year. To sol
ing garages, and safety problems can be avoided by
educating the drivers as well as pedestrians to use greater caution on the road.
So, in conclusion, I think that while discouraging car use might
seem a quick solution to many problems currently facing the society, it is most unlikely to be a permanent cure. 070920
It is necessary for governments to spend sufficient amount of money for the improvement and maintenance of public health and education, but allocating a certain amount for arts is also important for the comprehensive development of a nation. Hence, the money set apart by government for arts should not be diverted and separate funds should be allocated for improving the social conditions in the country.
On the one hand, huge investments are required for providing basic health services and primary education for all sections of people. Some people fear that large investments in establishing art galleries and preserving traditional art forms can shift government’s focus from more serious social issues. For example, governments in many poor nations are not able to spend the required amount of money for the developing the educational and health sectors,
which
is
said
to
be
the
major
reason
for
their
underdevelopment. These governments, according to some, wastes large amounts of money for the development of arts.
On the other hand, downplaying the importance of arts in a country is like neglecting the aesthetic, creative and emotional needs of the people. For example, dance, music, drama, painting and similar arts have great importance in the cultural development of the people. Allocation of funds in these areas by governments can also boost the economic development of the country. Many people make a living by becoming the exponents of these art forms. Moreover, preserving and maintaining the cultural traditions of the country through arts can attract tourists from all over the world. Apart from their economic and educational pursuits, man finds great fulfillment in life by spending time for arts, which can satisfy his emotional needs.
In conclusion, spending money for both arts, and educational and health needs are equally important and therefore ignoring either of the sectors is not desirable.

The rising cost of higher education is a significant issue facing governments around the world. Three ways are there to fund higher education and each has its own merits. This essay shall discuss the benefits of each method and identify the best one.
To begin with, if the government pays for higher education it would contribute to a prosperous and civilized society. It is true that human resource is of great importance to every nation. Investing in higher education, therefore, helps establish high-quality labor force with great expertise in the future. Moreover, it gives students from all walks of life the equal chance to further their education.
If the student has to cover the full fees of his tuition then naturally he would be more serious in his study. The onus of getting the full value for money spent on higher education would be on the student and this would result in better graduates which would benefit the nation as a whole.
The third option in which all costs are paid by the student using loans from the government that must be repaid after graduation is the best one in my opinion because even the have-nots would get equal opportunity to get higher education and as the students would know they have to repay the loan after
they have finished education, the universities would not be flooded with non serious students.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that each of the above methods has its own pros but the third method in which all costs are paid by the student using loans from the government that must be repaid after graduation is the best. 071006
In this 21st century, people are enjoying more comfortable life with better facilities, increased life expectancy and with more possibilities than ever before. Living standard has improved dramatically and the technological advancement has made our life easier. Despite these advancements and achievements, many people feel that their offspring are living under an immense pressure from the society and I quite agree with this viewpoint.
First of all, the competition children have to face in the school, home and even in a playground is far more than the past centuries. The society appreciates only the best performers and being the top scorer is quite a challenging job. The parents want their children to excel in every field and thus the childhood is far different these days than our forefathers used to have. Renowned and good schools have a limited number of seats and the competition for those seats is overwhelming. Parents want their children to excel in other areas besides their academic performance including music, sports, art and in other fields. They are often found to be forced to get involved in activities that they have little interest in. Thus the children in the present era live under constant pressure, fear and competition. The pressures are many folded- from parents, siblings, classmates, society and so on. As a consequence, they do not have a magical and carefree childhood our past generations enjoyed.
Obviously, due to overpopulation and scarcity of land, people are forced to move to an apartment rather than a traditional home. These apartments force children to have limited activities at home which include watching television and using the internet. In addition, these apartments have some regulations such as not to make noise or play and that is why children cannot enjoy their life freely. Moreover, in this modern world, many parents have adopted some
western cultures and children are forced to learn or do some skills even if they dislike it. For instance, some parents force their children to learn the musical instruments to show their status in the society. Furthermore, nowadays the modern society is keener in observing what others are doing. Children are the one suffer a lot from this attitude and they are more vigilant in their action to protect their parents’ status.
Finally, the loose family bonding and parents’ priority for their careers often creates an invisible pressure to the children that has many negative psychological effects. The number of single mom and single dad is a proof that our family bonding in deteriorating in this modern era. Parents’ actions affect their offspring severely and any social and family degradation will have serious negative consequences on children.
To conclude, society is dynamic and compared to the bygone years, today’ children have more toys, electronic gadgets, the opportunity to learn and express their views but that does not make their childhood more enjoyable. The type of pressure they face is quite overwhelming and that has many adverse effects on their growth as well. 071013
Nowadays, in recruitment industry, it is highly debated that: which factor is more valuable for employer, professional qualifications or other soft skills?
Undoubtedly, academic qualification is very essential for employment. The specific education qualification is usually initially listed on the job criteria on the most of the recruitment advertisements. The reason is that this factor proves the employee's basic qualification and education background. Moreover, the academic transcript reflects the candidates' studying attitude and the willingness of learning. On employer's perspective, the employee with outstanding academic achievement tend to perform on workplace as great as in university. Particularly, for certain professional positions such as lawyer, dentist, accountant and programmer, relevant academic background and achievements should be a necessary condition.
On workplace, however, there are much more factors to evaluate a qualified employee such as networking and communication skills, personality and personal experience. All these skills and features can only be examined effectively in a face-to-face occasion. Therefore, after browsing the resume which mainly focused on candidates' technical and academic skills, the employer will invite them into interview which will examine candidates' soft skills and personalities. After this phase, the successful candidates will be determined who must have positive attitude, suitable personality and relevant experience.
More specifically, for most basic positions which closely relate to our daily life, it is unnecessary to highly require academic qualifications. For example, looking for a cashier in supermarket, the manager would try to hire an employee with a thoughtful and patient heart and a nice smile. Similarly, when applying a position of salesperson in a fashion store, the sense of fashion and communication ability should be highlighted rather than a marketing degree.
To conclude, academic qualification is an essential requirement and necessary condition for professional positions. Although a applicant have outstanding academic background, it is far away from a successful applicant without relevant experience and positive personality. Furthermore, majority of ordinary position pay more attention to the personal quality rather than education results. 071020
Nowadays, we live in a globalized advance era in which learning a new language has become one of the great concerns of every person. Some people believe that since one language is not adequate for communication, children should start to learn a foreign language in their primary schools. I strongly agree with this statement due to the following reasons.
First of all, if someone wants to see outcome soon, one must start sooner. To be more precise, brain ability in learning new language reduces with growing
up. Additionally, scientists claim that unlike the misconception of parents, children do not confuse the words of their mother tongue with a studied language, but they learn more efficiently.
Secondly, learning a new language can broaden children’s horizon because of enhancing their social skills. When they learn a foreign language, they become more interested in that country and can make a connection with more easily. Moreover, they can cope with their future issues related to their field of study by having access to the variety of sources presented in their second language. When children start their early education, their minds remain fresh and they can catch more information. It is the ideal time to learn a new language so they can master the language in short time. Besides, they do not learn a language all of a random. Rather this is decided by the parents, teacher and that has a cultural perspective that the children should learn at the earlier stage rather than the later stages of life.
Finally, adults always are afraid of making mistakes when they learn a new language and this fear is one of the biggest barriers in this process. Moreover, they are always distracted with their problems related to their work, family and etc. Therefore, they need more efforts in comparison to the children. 071025

There are a variety of different opinions on whether or not governments should afford the tuition fee for the students who want to go to universities. Some assert that it is necessary for governments to ease economical pressure of
poor students for the sake of educational development while others disagree that. Personally, I believe that it is not necessary for governments to pay the course fees if some reasonable measures can be adopted.
Admittedly, investing a vast amount of money in resolving students’ economical problem is a sensible decision. Rather than being anxious for the cost of study and life, one can devoted his or her entire time to learn the major better. It is undeniable that students would be more relaxed instead of worrying in terms of physical and psychological aspects.
Nevertheless, affording everyone’s fees of studying carries some potential drawbacks which may results in a series of social problems. In the first place, for governments, the expense of every student’s course fees will be a considerable financial budget. The economical balance would be undermined if one subject poured in too much capital. The situation would be worth in some populous developing countries. In the second place, to some extent, one may lose motivation of learning if he no longer be worrying about any financial problem. According to the science research, a certain extent of pressure is beneficial to one’s mentality even creativity. Finally, one will gain benefits from part-time job to earn his or her course fees if there are no funds offered for their studying. Students can not only acquiring social experiences from part-time job but also decline their living problems.
In conclusion, I would concede that governments can take other actions instead of just paying the money. For example, course loan could be provided to students to meet the needs of studying requirements and they can pay back the money after their graduation. Also, scholarship is a way of motivating students in terms of studying and living. 071117
Nowadays, advertising aimed at children should be banned. To what extent you agree or disagree?
It is true that a large number of children today are exposed to various commercial adverts. These advertisements generally encourage children to purchase snacks, toys, and video games, and I agree that some of these commercial campaigns should be limited and even be prohibited.
If these advertisements aiming at children can be censored, their parents will not be bothered to buy more than they need. The main reason is that children are unconscious to goods price, and parents usually spoil their children by fulfilling all of their material needs. For example, some children prefer to have luxury toys, and little girls generally like to wear fancy clothes. This, therefore, brings undue financial burden to disadvantaged families, which can be prevented through reducing advertisement to children.
In general, children who watch advertisements frequently have behavior problems. Some of them are addicted eating fast food since they watch the adverts of this food each day. At the same time, a number of children throw a tantrum every time due to playing violent video games which are promoted by the advertisers. These problems can have adverse impacts on children their health and growth.
It is certain that some advertisements are beneficial to children. This is because these commercial activities publicise the nutritious products such as milk and cereal. Besides, some of them deliver information about books, games, and toys, which are of decent educational functions. Parents are able to be familiar with these goods and purchase them via watching the relevant adverts.
In conclusion, my view is that governments should ban most of child advertisements, particularly the ones promoting harmful products, whereas they can allow advertising companies to make those adverts for children and parents in order to present healthy and educational goods. 071124
It is true that an enormous amount of money has been poured into impoverished nations to help them escape from poverty. While this solution is sometimes effective, I personally believe that financial aid does not fully tackle the problem, and other types of aid need to be implemented.
Firstly, money given to destitute nations does not always reach people in need.
In developing countries, lack of transparency and an ineffective management system has enabled prevalent corruption in government. It is therefore likely that monetary support from other countries would bring about benefits to only governmental officials instead of the poor. Another problem with giving out money is that in most cases recipient countries do not have necessary resources such as manpower, technology, infrastructure or management system in place to make the best use of financial aid. For instance, in my country, a large amount of money from foreign governments was spent on building health care centers in rural areas, but those centers were soon abandoned or operated at less than one tenth capacity due to lack of health care professionals, lack of electricity and clean water, etc. Another illustration would be in agricultural field. We received monetary support from international funds to increase productivity of crops, but we had no experience in conducting researches before implementing a project, in project management and evaluation. As a consequence, a large amount of money was wasted on ineffective programs proposed by incompetent leaders.
Furthermore, it is undeniable that financial aid can sometimes do more harm than good, and worsen the situation in poor countries. Some developed countries gave out monetary support to ruling oligarchy in Africa under the name of economic development, but for hindered political reasons as well. They might want to gain international preference, to win support from their citizens before election, or to enhance their political influence in recipient countries, etc. In such cases how the money would be spent was not their concern. Leaders in recipient countries therefore used the money to strengthen their position, by enriching themselves or purchasing weapons to suppress opponents. Had it not been for the financial aid, people in these poor countries might have been able to overthrown their incompetent, greedy authority. Financial aid in this case became an obstacle for revolutions against dictatorship, social progress and poverty eradication.
In conclusion, monetary support alone could not eliminate poverty. Other types of help such as technological support, staff training, infrastructure development and management system improvement is required to handle the problem. 071201

These days, more and more people are making the choice to go to university. While some people are of the opinion that the only purpose of a university education is to improve job prospects, others think that society and the individual benefit in much broader ways.
It is certainly true that one of the main aims of university is to secure a better job. The majority of people want to improve their future career prospects and attending university is one of the best ways to do this as it increases a person's marketable skills and attractiveness to potential employers. In addition, further education is very expensive for many people, so most would not consider it if it would not provide them with a more secure future and a higher standard of living. Thus job prospects are very important.
However, there are other benefits for individuals and society. Firstly, the independence of living away from home is a benefit because it helps the students develop better social skills and improve as a person. A case in point is that many students will have to leave their families, live in halls of residence and meet new friends. As a result, their maturity and confidence will grow
enabling them to live more fulfilling lives. Secondly, society will gain from the contribution that the graduates can make to the economy. We are living in a very competitive world, so countries need educated people in order to compete and prosper.
Therefore, I believe that although a main aim of university education is to get the best job, there are clearly further benefits. If we continue to promote and encourage university attendance, it will lead to a better future for individuals and society. 071215
It is irrefutable that television news is filled with violence and suffering. Crime and violent world events are among the most frequently covered topics on TV. In the following paragraphs I shall discuss the reasons of this phenomenon and suggest some ways forward.
The most important reason for this is obviously that television channels want to increase their TRP (television rating point). If any channel has high TRP, it gets more adverts and hence more revenue. Therefore the channels have to show such sensational news. Secondly, the news channels have to show what is happening around and disasters and violence have become very common in our surroundings. Finally, people demand that they
should be well informed about all things which are prevalent in society. So, media has to show all that to its viewers.
There are many harmful effects on the individuals and society. The most disturbing effect is on the children and youth. Media violence can stimulate fear in some children as it frightens them, making the effects long lasting. This can become traumatic in our children as they see it more and more. Children are starting to grow and are shaping their personality, values and beliefs. They can become aggressive or they can lose a sense of reality and fiction of what they are seeing.
Young people imitate what they see and it is logical that they see glamour in what they do when they commit violence. Consequently, the society suffers as the streets are full of violence. Too much portrayal of these also leads to
immunity among the people and they are not affected by the disasters any more. Disasters like Tsunami and earthquakes don’t make people shed a tear any more.
How can we lessen violence? Reducing the amount of violence on TV and in the cinema would certainly be a good start. It is a well known fact that the media possesses a lot of power to influence people. So, those in the media must be judicious about delivering news in a balanced manner that brings the story to the consumer without showing too much violence. Journalism is a profession like any other and certain standards of quality and professionalism need to be maintained. Moreover, parents should be more vigilant about what children see on TV.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that there are many reasons why media shows too much violence on TV and some steps should be taken to reduce this as it has a lot of detrimental effects on the individuals and society. 080110
In this modern world, technology is used by peoples in every ages, included children. Moving pictures, colorful, and a great sound effect are something that really interesting for children. As the result, today’s children spend much time on TV, video, and PC games. Some people believe it is good for them while others believe that is bad. Both of view has their own analysis for this case. First of all, TV, video, and PC games are one of modern education tools. Nowadays, many software developers work together with education institutes to make a game, video, or computer program for children. For instance, Edu games, this application is targeted for three until fourteen years old children. The children can play a lot of games that challenged their curiosity by given them many cases. Another example is “Seriously funny kids” TV program. In this program, the presenter, Heidi Klum, is interacting with the children, such as dancing together, making a little talk show, or cooking together. These kind of shows can build children’s character and give them a knowledge from the professional hands.
Secondly, the children who spend much time with TV, video, and PC games
are losing their time to socialization with others. If there is no control from parents, they will addict to play with their game, and does not want to play outside with their friends anymore. If these happen for a long time, these children will became a passive person and have a lack of health. They will easier to get sick because they seldom do body exercise. Another consequence is children with this habit usually have to take a sun glasses from an early ages because the screen radiation is not good for eyes. From these it, we can not full agree to let our children spend much time on these technology. In my opinion, that is fine if the children spend much time on audio visual technologies because those technologies has many benefits but still, children should play outside more than spending time in front of screen everyday. It depend on each family, if their parents does not have a time to control their children watch, than it is must be a rules that have to make to border the children’s play time.
In summary, let the children spend much time on good show or games technologies will add their knowledge and build their behavior. Nevertheless, it is can make the children addicted and impair their health. Children have their right to know the expansion of technology, but in their ages, they do not know the importance of they do, so this is our job to direct them. It is always be parents’ ways to control their children. 080112
There are many different opinions on the best way to reduce crime. In my opinion, long term prison is the only answer in a very few situations, but in most cases education, vocational training and rehabilitation are better. Long terms in prison are the only answer in case of criminals who are a risk to the society, such as murderers. They cannot be made to mix with society. There are also mentally insane people such as serial killers who should be kept away from the people. In all other cases we can do without long terms in prisons.
My first argument against longer terms in prisons is that in traditional prisons, people learn a lot about crime and so when they leave prison they will commit
even more crime. In other words prisons act as universities of crime. So for petty offenders like shop-lifters and pick- pockets should be given some vocational training and education. It is a well not fact that the basic causes of crime are poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. So, if we provide education and job training then we would be removing the causes of crime. If criminals are rehabilitated by some form of employment then they would certainly not re-offend.
Furthermore, the prisons are expensive to maintain. The government can spend that money on other important matters such as education and healthcare. This would ease some burden from the government’s shoulders. The petty and minor criminals can also be employed in some community service projects after providing education and vocational training.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that we should hate the crime and not the criminal. To fight crime we should focus on the causes of crime. Education and job training help to rehabilitate the criminals. Longer terms in prison are not the answer to fight crime. Focus should be on reforming the criminals. 080119
It is true that many older people believe in traditional values that often seem incompatible with the needs of younger people. While I agree that some traditional ideas are outdated, I believe that others are still useful and should not be forgotten.
On the one hand, many of the ideas that elderly people have about life are becoming less relevant for younger people. In the past, for example, people were advised to learn a profession and find a secure job for life, but today's workers expect much more variety and diversity from their careers. At the same time, the 'rules' around relationships are being eroded as young adults make their own choices about who and when to marry. But perhaps the greatest disparity between the generations can be seen in their attitudes towards gender roles. The traditional roles of men and women, as breadwinners and housewives, are no longer accepted as necessary or appropriate by the most of the younger people.
On the other hand, some traditional views and values are certainly applicable to the modern world. For example, older generations attach great importance to working hard, doing one's best, and taking pride in one's work, and these behaviors can surely benefit young people as they enter today's competitive job market. Other characteristics that are perhaps seen as traditional are politeness and good manners. In our globalized world, young adults can expect to come into contact with people from a huge variety of backgrounds, and it is more important than ever to treat others with respect. Finally, I believe that young people would lead happier lives if they had a more 'old-fashioned' sense of community and neighborliness.
In conclusion, although the views of older people may sometimes seem unhelpful in today's world, we should not dismiss all traditional ideas as irrelevant. 080126
Nowadays, an increasing number of people cannot find jobs in many countries. Some people argue that students only need to receive primary education, while others believe secondary education is necessary. Before presenting my opinion, it is necessary for me to probe into both sides of the issue.
Those who say that only primary education should be there, feel that education has little influence on finding a job. To begin with, the competition for jobs is increasingly tough since there are more and more job seekers. Definitely, no matter what level education a person receives, he or she has to go to find a job finally, facing some competition. Therefore, the earlier one goes to find a position, the better for a person. Furthermore, they think people can acquire the technique through work instead of school. In other words, school education does not provide practical technique for factories. It is unnecessary for people to receive more education than primary courses.
On the other hand, those who believe that secondary education is necessary think that secondary education will offer more knowledge for people who plan to work, which can get them better paid jobs. However, both the two issues neglect the great impacts of education on the development of individuals.
In my opinion, it is necessary for individuals to receive as much education as possible before they go to work. Firstly, college or university education plays a key role in the development of individuals. Secondly, education will definitely enhance the competition for work. The more education one receives, the more opportunities for jobs he will have. For instance, more companies are recruiting new employees with a bachelor or master degree recently since the employment is very hard-to-get, with today’s financial crisis. Last but not least, receiving more education will widen one’s horizons. Some of them, maybe, set up their own business, creating a new approach to unemployment.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, although primary education is sufficient for some kinds of work, I firmly believe that people should receive higher education before they go to work. 080202
In the contemporary society, some people hold a cruel attitude towards animals. Yet whether humans can exploit animals for any purpose has sparked spirited debates. Some people assert that animals are the accessories of human beings, while others think animals are friends of us. Speaking for myself, I am in favor of the latter view.
Many cogent(有说服力的)arguments can provide this opinion. In the first place, animals are friends of humans. For example, pets are companions of their masters and afford their masters consolation and comfort, we can not treat animals brutal for the sake of our own purpose. Furthermore, many species are on the edge of extinction because of mankind's unscrupulous 肆无忌惮 exploitation of animals. We can not see some creatures on the planet any more. Last but not the least, The animals have contributed to an ecological balance which has sustained (maintain) man through hundreds of millennia. Without these animals, man can not make a living.
On the other hand, the use of animals for human is indispensable. An argument that can be made in favor of this is that in the arena of space research, live animals are practical alternatives on a flight not considered to be sufficiently safe for human astronauts. Even so, this does not mean we can exploit animals for any purpose or even constitute sheer torture(实施残忍的折磨) of animals.
To conclude, I would say that using animals in medical science or scientific researches is very important. But this does not mean we have the unlimited(无) right to exploit animals or even treat animals cruelly for the benefit of（为了） our own. Therefore we should do our best to preserve animals and allow the animals live safely in the natural environment. 1.动物是人类的朋友。 2.许多动物快要灭绝。

It is certainly true that, nowadays people are shifting to larger cities. There are several reasons and consequences of this moot issue, however, the government can play a vital role so that one can be rehabilitated into the small towns.
To begin with, people migrate to big cities to enjoy the facilities available over there and to secure their children’s future. Large cities are the places where various educational institutions are established. Moreover, more job opportunities attract the people towards the cities. Nonetheless, this moving of enormous number of people creates problems. Firstly, the urban population would go on increasing, because of this there would be the housing problem. Furthermore, this leads to creation of under developed slum areas. Secondly, in most of the cases, people in large cities might not obtain the job after several trials which leads to deterioration of their standard of living. The overpopulation is big cities would create more pollutions, would increase the crime rate and traffic congestion would become worse. Next, as population in cities increases, the number of people staying in towns and villages gradually decrease. Because of this, there might be a situation when food harvesting steeps down, this in turn produces food scarcity. Owing to all the above reasons it is clear that, the life of people in cities is highly stressful and problematic.
On the other hand, government can change this situation of people in large cities. Firstly, government should improve the facilities in towns so that people do not think of moving to cities in search of better life. This can be done by developing the transport system which inter connects different towns and cities. This encourages the establishment of companies that generates the
employment for youth. Construction of schools and colleges in the towns and country side will help the children to study well. Moreover, providing employment allowances would also be beneficial. The government should decentralize many industries and offices so that small towns create more job opportunities. A large portion of the national budget should be allocated for the development of rural areas.
In conclusion, I believe that, it is the government’s responsibility to look after the welfare of its people. Hence, shifting of more people to cities could be checked by providing city like opportunities and facilities. 080216
While the rhythm of people’s living is speeding up, there’re rapid changes in all aspects of our everyday lives. However, whether tomorrow is more important and precious than today has become a complex and sensitive topic issue .Personally ,I adhere to the opinion that the two consideration are intrinsically interdependent and indispensable.
On the one hand ,the present play a vital role in the future .I initially ,it is generally accepted that today is the foundation of tomorrow .Given the significance of the present, at that moment we should try our best to lay a solid foundation for the way we live ,learn ,work and play .Additionally ,if we just focus on what we will have ,and ignore what we should do now ,we will surely receive a heavy blow and fatally fail to reach our goal in the future. Moreover, what ground is to building is what today is to tomorrow. The fact that scientists will invent more advanced technologies in the basis of modern technologies, serve as a good example.
On the other hand, the future exerts a profound influence on the society. To begin with, with the advent of new era, people are soon to find themselves living in an altered world which calls for new judgments, new ideas, a new habit of thoughts and a new order of values. Therefore, the future is the guidance of our living standards and social development. Secondly, paying more attention to the future can provide more energy for people to solve current problems and avoid abandoning themselves on the failure happened at the present and the past. Last but not least, with right attitude of the future,
people will not go astray, which is favorable to family and society.
In conclusion, the future and the present play an equally important role in our lives. Not only should we do our best now, but actively have a long sight of the future. 080223
Nowadays, supermarkets are stocked with food products from around the world. Some individuals are of the opinion that this imported food has beneficial effect on us. I beg to differ. I feel that the local and regional produce is better for us and will discuss why in this essay.
It is certainly the case that importing food can have a negative effect on local culture. This can be seen in countries such as Japan where imported food has become more popular than traditional, local produce, eroding people’s understanding of their own food traditions. Although some would claim that this is a natural part of economic development, in an increasingly global world. I feel strongly that any loss of regional culture would be detrimental.
A second major reason to reduce imports is the environmental cost. Currently, many food imports such as fruit, are transported thousands of miles by road, sea and air, making the produce more expensive to buy and increasing pollution from exhaust fumes. Despite the fact that trade in food exports has existed for many years, I am convinced that a reduction would bring significant financial and environmental gains.
However, many jobs depend on food exports and some less developed countries may even depend on this trade for economic survival. In spite of this, the importance of developing local trade should not be undervalued.
In conclusion, I am certain that reducing food imports would have cultural and environmental benefits. What is more, the local economy should, in time, prosper commercially as the demand for local and regional produce remains high resisting the competition from overseas.

To decide which subject is the most important and which is the least important is a daunting task. Each and every subject has its own importance which cannot be under estimated but if I have to choose one I would choose physical education as the most important one and philosophy as the least important one.
Physical education is the most important for all students at school level. These classes improve students’ health, now and in the future. They burn calories, and this helps them to maintain a healthy weight. The classes’ regular exercise develops good habits for the present and the future. People who exercise as children are more likely to continue exercising when they’re adults. This reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other serious illnesses. Physical education also improves students’ mental health. It can be difficult to sit in class all day. Students can exercise and then relax after their physical activity. This helps them to feel happier and more comfortable at school. The classes also include activities that help with stress reduction. Walking, stretching, and yoga are just a few of the exercises that reduce stress. When they have good mental health, they can do well in other subjects also. The students’ favorite part of physical education classes may be the opportunity to communicate with their classmates. They enjoy talking to their friends while they play games. The students also learn how to work in teams. Teamwork is an important skill that they will use when playing sports or even at their jobs in the future.
As for the least important course, I have to say that I think philosophy is not so important after all. This is a subject which can be there at the higher level for those who want to study it. That is why, perhaps, in our Indian school curricula philosophy has no place. To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, although all subjects are important, I believe that physical education is the most important and philosophy is the least important.

With growing incomes, it is not surprising that everyone wants to live a lavish lifestyle. Every other individual owns a car these days. That is why road systems have to be expanded. All this requires money. That is why the debate has arisen as to who should pay for this expansion. Some opine that the government should pay while others contend that the car owners should pay. I tend to agree with the latter.
To begin with, higher cost for car owners would encourage public transport use. This would definitely be better for the environment as there would be less pollution and less usage of natural resources like petrol and diesel. People would also be encouraged to do car pooling so that the added expenses are shared. Moreover, shorter journeys may be made on foot or bicycle which would lead to a healthier nation.
In addition, it would be unfair if government pays all the money out of the taxes. In this way even those people who are not using the roads for their private vehicles would also be taxed. Moreover, government has so much else on its shoulders such as basic healthcare and education which would be advantageous for all.
Admittedly, better roads means lesser congestion, lesser traffic jams and therefore lesser pollution and faster mobility which would be better for the big businesses. Therefore, this cost should be met by the big companies and not the average taxpayer.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that expanding the road system is the need of the hour and most of the cost should be met with by the car owners and big companies and some paid by the government. 080313
Good health is a basic human need. The statement says that people should look after their health as an obligation to the society and not think about their own benefits. I however feel that compliance would be much more if we were to look after our health for our own interest and the benefits to the society
would automatically ensue.
There are many benefits to the individual if he/she looks after his/her health. Good health means a person leads a quality life. He does not have to spend on expensive medical treatment and he has more productive life. He can work better and enjoy all the good things that life has to offer. Moreover, if a person suffers from any infectious disease and takes timely treatment then he does not spread it to others. Later on he does not stand the chance of getting re-infected by other people.
On the other hand, it cannot be denied that as a part of society, we all have an obligation to the society. If all people are healthy then the society is also healthy. A healthy society means that the government does not have to spend a lot on health. All those saved resources could be used to improve the lives of people further. Government could spend on latest diagnostic machines and on gyms and on educating people as to how they could look after themselves even better.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that we should all look after our health. It does not matter whether it is for ourselves or the society. We are all inextricably linked to the society. If we do something good for ourselves, the society is benefited and if we do something for society then we are benefited. 080329
As people are moving towards modernization, they are becoming more and more aware about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. I believe that the government should hold the responsibility to encourage people to enjoy healthy lifestyle. I shall put forth my arguments to support my views in the following paragraphs.
My first argument is that everyone does not have enough knowledge about health and some gullible people may just follow some advertisements or unreliable consultants who may give them inappropriate guidance. This increase the risk of unhealthy lifestyle and therefore government should formulate policies to guide citizens to establish healthy lifestyles.
Secondly, if government guides about healthy lifestyles, then more and more people would be healthy and this would indirectly make the economy flourish. With healthy body conditions, labourers work more efficiently, elderly suffer lesser diseases and children have better development. As a result, manufactures can produce more, the budget of social insurance can be cut down and healthy young generations will provide stability to the growth of economy.
Last but not least, if the onus of having a healthy lifestyle is left to the individuals, they may not follow it because of lack of time and money. So, the government should provide free gyms, parks and other infrastructure to support a healthy lifestyle, so that people are encouraged to adopt such a lifestyle.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, governments should promote healthy lifestyles both for the benefits of individuals and overall economy. 080405
It is irrefutable that the fuel consumed by one long-distance flight is consumed by a car in several years’ time, and the amount of pollution it produces is also more. Therefore, some people suggest that non-essential flights, including international travel, should be discouraged. I totally disagree whit this statement. I feel that even though cars produce less pollution and use less fuel, still we should focus on limiting the number of cars. Discouraging flights would lead to many other problems.
At a time when people all over the world worry about the decreasing level of fossil fuels and global warming, it is right to take action to save the planet earth. However, to simply discourage flights is not the answer. International tourism has become the backbone of many economies of the world. Many countries are earning from tourism. Many people are employed in this industry. Many businesses like hotels and leisure centers are dependent on tourists. So, if we discourage international tourism, it would create new and even worse problems. Many businesses would go broke and many people would be without jobs.
Air flight also enables intercultural exchanges between countries. The advent of cheap air fare makes it possible for people the world over to travel regularly, regardless of the purpose of the trip. Therefore, people have the opportunities to learn from different cultures and have a better understanding of countries they used to be unfamiliar with. This, in turn, enhances cultural communications between countries.
What we should do is to limit the use of cars. The number of cars is increasing at a very fast pace. This is creating too many problems. Cars are using too much of fossil fuels; they are creating a lot of pollution; they are leading to traffic congestion on the roads and they are also causing accidents.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, traveling by air should not be discouraged. Instead, the use of cars should be limited. 080412
In this highly competitive world, people have been spending a significant amount of time at their workplaces. It is true that most of the working people do not have social and family lives due to their hectic life. In this essay, I would like to discuss various aspects of the topic and try to reach a conclusion according to my perspective.
To commence with, in this globalized world, most of the companies and their workers have to face an international competition in the market which makes their work harder and tougher. To make it clear, it is evident that most of the international firms are technologically and ideally advanced so it has become necessary to work overtime with dedications to compete with those companies.
Furthermore, nowadays, daily expense of a family has been rising day-by-day, such as the money spent on groceries, petroleum and so on. In this context, it is hard for a man to run a family with a single job or regular working hours so they are forced to work more. More importantly, unemployment has resulted in minimizing wages of most of the works. To exemplify, in India, a nurse's monthly salary is 100 dollar, it is impossible for them to live with this small
amount and that’s why the nurse needs to work extra hours and even in days off to earn a bit more.
On the other hand, the platform of family life is interaction, socialization and communication. When family members do not have enough time to interact each other, there will form a communication gap among them and that ultimately affect family relation. Moreover, as most of the people in a society over work and when they do not have sufficient time for interaction and exchange of ideas. It is evident that, unless the co-operation of society, there will not be an effective development in society.
To conclude, in my opinion, increased workforce and overtime have badly affected the social and family life of people. Even there are laws which say about minimum working hours of employees, many workers are forced to work over time. Hence, the government and authorities should take initiatives to come with a solution to this problem. 080419
Some demographic surveys have shown that the proportions of young people are rising rapidly. This may be because of any reasons such as illiteracy and poverty or wars or any other reasons. This essay shall delve into the immediate and long term effects of this trend on those countries.
The most important current impact of such a trend would be on the national economy. For instance, goods and services would need to be imported which would lead to an unstable economy. However, the future effect would be different as there would be more people within the country needing employment. Then there might arise the problem of unemployment.
In addition to the effects on economy, there would be social implications also. The government will have to invest a lot on educational institutes as more children need more schools and colleges. In addition more spending on health would also be needed. The long term result would be that the education and health infrastructure would be well developed.
If careful management of such a situation is done by the government, for instance, by providing good education and health facilities, then the future outcomes could be quite positive. The society would be younger and more vibrant. The culture of those countries would be more fast-paced than the traditional culture.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that the culture and lifestyle of these countries would be transformed if the population would be younger. Fresh opportunities and challenges would both be on the way. The trend would cause multiple possible effects and these countries should strengthen the education and health infrastructure to overcome its negative influence. 080424
I disagree with the view that teachers have lost their importance in education because of the wide resources such as the internet. I firmly believe that teachers are as important as before and even more so. In the following paragraphs I shall put forth my arguments to support my views.
It is irrefutable that computer and internet have made possible distance education and on-line education. In this regard, computers are a boon for the handicapped, those living in remote areas and those in job. They can study any time of the day or night because of the internet. This has made education approachable for many who cannot for some reason or the other attend a college or university.
However, I still feel that teachers can never lose their importance. In learning and practice of more complex ideas, the computer is not adequate. It can tell if the answer is right or wrong but it cannot tell where the student went wrong. Tasks involving reasoning cannot be taught using computers. Moreover, teachers add their own knowledge gained through experience to that of books and other resources.
Furthermore, teachers can stimulate interest and it is an undeniable fact that interested stimulated people tend to learn more. They can keep students focused on study. A student studying by himself may get bored and stop studying. Teachers can provide a faster and simpler way to present
information to the students. They can come down to the level of a student and so are definitely better than computers. What is more, teachers are role models for students. They are scholars in action. They not only teach academic subjects, but also many social skills.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that there is no doubt that modern resources have changed education from a teacher-oriented one to a student-centered one, but teachers will always hold their importance and can never be replaced by any technology. 080510
TV, as a learning tool, is quite useful if children watch the right programs for certain duration of time each day. Though some people regard watching the TV as a waste of time, I do believe that this can be a very powerful learning tool for children and that is why they should be allowed to watch TV programs both at home and school, but within the teacher's and parent's watch. To begin with, though I am no longer a student, I can still learn better by watching TV rather than reading books. Whenever I tune on to the History Channel, BBC or National Geographic Channel, I can learn new things. This is also true for the school going children. My younger brother, who is a college student with history major, heavily relies on History Channel documentaries to enhance his knowledge in history. TV programs are the audio-visual presentation of an event, story or fact and thus have lasting impressions on our brain. If the right programs are chosen for a child, he/she will learn faster by watching TV. For instance, one of our neighbors allow her 3 years old daughter to watch Rhymes on the internet TV channels and she can recite most of those rhymes. According to her mother, the girl has learned more effectively by watching those animated cartoons that have the rhymes than reading books. Since TV is a powerful learning tool, why not use it in a school for educational purpose?
On the contrary, people who opine that TV programs are a waste of valuable time has their own reasons. People cannot control the time they spend on watching TV. Moreover, many TV programs are not suitable for the children and thus can have detrimental effects on their immature mind. They can mimic
the bad habits of their favorite heroes and can become violent in many cases. However, this can only happen when we don't have control over our children's' activity. For instance, scientific research shows that a certain amount of chocolate is good for a child's health and cognitive development. However, if a child eats too much chocolate, he will surely suffer from many problems. In the same way, certain hours of TV watching can actually help students learn many things but uncontrolled TV watching habit would actually ruin his life.
In conclusion, as parents and teachers, we must pick the suitable and educational programs for our kids both in school and at home. My final opinion is that TV is a good pedagogical tool and hence its use in the school for both educational and recreational purposes should be allowed. 080522
For long time , Schools main focus have always been more academic in nature for the greater benefit of children future and have given less importance to co-curricular activities like sports and music. In my opinion this should continue as such for coming generation as well because of many valid reasons, although there are some implications.
First of all, children are sent to school so that they can find good jobs and settle in life without much struggle. This can happen only when schools teach them subjects like science, math, economics and commerce.
Secondly, the world is ever changing because of technological advances and focus on academic subjects makes it easier for children to keep themselves abreast of those innovations and advances. For example, subjects like computer science prepare the student to face the modern world of technology. thirdly, the children can always acquire skills in music or particular sports of their interest by taking extra classes or training outside of the school on their own, unlike academic subjects where you acquire those skills and formal certification only in schools, so it’s only fair that schools train the students for what it’s built for in the first place.
However, not all students may be good in academics and may not help them to secure their future as professionals. Also, the children may not get dejected or discouraged, if they find out that they are good in some sports or music and even serve as a seed for them to reflect or canalize this towards academic areas. So it becomes important for schools to identify these and concentrate more on non-academic subjects as well.
Nevertheless, for the greater benefit of majority of the children it’s always better for schools to put more focus on academic subjects to secure their future, although some children specialty may not be academics. 080531
In most sports, the athlete who possesses a good physical quality is often favored by the coach when choosing an athlete. But, sometimes, those who are the healthiest and strongest disappoint many audiences and coaches. Should we change the idea about choosing an athlete?
Many would agree that the healthier and stronger one is, the greater success he or she can obtain. Indeed, because athletes need spend a vast amount of time to take extreme training, only a strong and healthy body can bear these physical challenges. We have seen in various kinds of competitions that many champions were the healthiest and strongest among all the players.
However, I do not believe that physical condition is the only factor to achieve success in sports. I would argue whether it is sport, art or music, an important element of success is diligence. That is why most excellent athletes take a professional training at their very early age. There are many successful cases telling us even though one does not have a good physical quality in nature, through continued training an exercises, he or she could perform as well as or even outstrip those who have a healthier and stronger body. Deng YaPing is a case in point. She is very short, only 1.55 meters, most argue that she is not the right person to play ping-pong, but eventually she become a world champion with her diligent training and practice.
In addition to industrious training and exercises, some argue that success largely depend on one’s psychological quality and team spirit. For instance,
there are two players whose ability and skills are almost at the same level, but one performs much better than the other. How can we account for this? It is psychological quality that makes the difference. Likewise, it is generally agreed that the Chinese National Football Team’s chronic poor performance is more due to its collective strategy than the skills of individual player. After all, rarely can one accomplish much all by himself.
All in all, I believe that an excellent player or team should not only have diligent training and practice, but a good psychological quality and team spirit. 080605
It is a highly debated issue as to whether students at university should concentrate on one subject or study a multitude of subjects. In this essay I intend to discuss the benefits of both approaches. However, I personally feel that studying a range of subjects is better for university students.
There are many advantages, for students, of studying a number of subjects. The first and foremost advantage is that if they don’t get a job in their field they will be able to get any job related to their other subjects. They will not suffer unemployment and they will not be stuck to menial jobs despite being highly qualified.
Moreover, a well rounded education is very important in today’s time. Without a diverse background, a graduate will not be competent in any job. For example, excellent communication skills are very important while looking for a job. For that you need a basic English class. Most jobs require problem solving skills which you get from basic knowledge of math and science. For instance, a doctor specializing in MRI scan, needs to have a good knowledge of physics – magnetism etcetera.
Another advantage is that, learning a range of subjects can add spice to the students’ studies. Students may be fed up with study when they concentrate on one subject constantly. Finally, it is well known that most of the subjects are linked to each other, to some extent. With a range of knowledge, students can find different solutions to approach the problems they encounter either at work or in life, which will definitely make them more creative and innovative in the
field they specialize in. Clearly, the students with all-round knowledge have an apparent advantage over those specializing in only one subject.
On the other hand, the only advantage of studying only one subject at university would be that it would make you a master in that field and you stand a chance of getting a high-paid job in that field.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, studying a variety of subjects is beneficial to the university students. In this case, not only can the students better themselves, but also become adaptable and flexible in the increasingly challenging and competitive world. It is advisable that students spend time learning more subjects instead of focusing on one specific subject, so that they can prepare themselves for the global society. 080614
In today’s world, we are now in a position to enjoy cheaper air flights than in the past. However, there is an argument that they should be banned due to the levels of pollution they generate. Those in favor of cheap air flight say it is advantageous in terms of freedom and the opportunities to learn from other countries. In this essay I shall examine both sides of this issue and finally give my opinion.
Cheap air flight can be beneficial in many ways. One of them is the opportunities to go overseas. Earlier, only the affluent could afford it, but now it is within the pocket of the ordinary man. Some of the discounted tickets are fairly cheap and flying abroad is no longer a dream for many. Moreover, small businesses have prospered because of the ease of travel because of these flights.
In addition to this, cheap air flight enables intercultural exchanges between countries. The advent of cheap air fare makes it possible for people the world over to travel regularly, regardless of the purpose of the trip. Therefore, people have the opportunities to learn from different cultures and have a better understanding of countries they used to be unfamiliar with. This, in turn, enhances cultural communications between countries.
The argument that cheap flight should be banned is also justified to some extent. It is generally known that airplanes consume a vast amount of oil and the gas emission generated by an airplane is enormous. If cheap air tickets are not controlled, the environmental impacts would only get worse in the long run. Besides, cheap air tickets at times are extremely disturbing in terms of certain conditions that go along with them. One problem is that the date and time cannot be changed once purchased. As a result, many people find it inconvenient if they are to reschedule due to emergency.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, the issue of cheap air fares is complex and there is no easy solution as both sides have merits. However, I am convinced that giving people the freedom to travel is essential, but at the same time people should be made aware of avoiding un-necessary travel. Banning such flights is not the answer. 080621
Young children are beginners. They have lots to learn and one of the biggest lessons they must learn is how to behave or act in an acceptable manner. So, they need rules. When young children have rules, they know what is expected of them. However, the extent to which children have to follow rules is a very sensitive issue. In this essay I shall discuss the benefits of imposing rules on children and the negative consequences of having too much restriction. Firstly, rules of behavior create responsible and respectful children who in turn mature into respectful adults. They know the value of respect for elders. They know the importance of relationships. They know about their cultural values as well. This forms a stable society which is virtually free from vices such as prostitution and drug abuse. It would be wrong to say that having rules mars the problem solving ability of children. They, in fact, face difficulties in a more mature and disciplined way. They are not lured by peer pressure and refrain from acting on impulse.
However, if too strict rules are imposed on children then they may become rebels. They may start doing just the opposite of what is told them to do. What is more, they may show abnormal behavior. They may fall into bad company or resort to drugs because of frustration. Finally, imposing too strict rules destroys
the individuality of children. They may withdraw into a shell. This may suppress their creativity and as a consequence, they may not be able to deal with problems well by themselves.
What is important is that parents and teachers should learn where rules are needed and where it is necessary to give room to the children. Having absolutely no rules and letting children do whatever they wish to do would also be wrong. They are not mature enough to solve all problems and they have to be taught their limits.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that parents and teachers should impose rules on children but they should know where to draw the line. They should be flexible and modify the rules according to the circumstances. 080628
It is irrefutable that the young generations today are technophiles and are very comfortable with mobile phones and internet whereas the elderly are uneasy with the latest technological devices. This essay shall delve into how the mobile phone and internet could be useful for the senior citizens and ways to encourage them to use such technology.
Mobile phones and internet could be beneficial to old people in various ways. To begin with, we all know that a major problem the elderly face is of social isolation. Nuclear families predominate these days and even in nuclear families, children have to leave their parents to seek greener pastures abroad. Through mobile phones the elderly can connect with their kith and kin who live far away from them. For example, through the internet, they can chat with their grandchildren and also see them through web camera.
Furthermore, the elderly face a lot of health problems. Through mobile phone they can any time call the ambulance or their relatives and get timely medical help. Through the internet they can get consultation of any doctor in any part of the world by showing their digital x-ray or MRI scan. Another advantage of such technology to the elderly is that they can entertain themselves through these gadgets. They have a lot of free time and they can listen to religious hymns, visit sacred and holy places on the net which they can’t otherwise visit
because of failing health. They can also do net-banking, online shopping and also book their rail tickets and air tickets online.
There are a lot of ways to motivate the elderly to use these equipments. Firstly, they can be made aware of the various ways such things can help them. The government and NGOs can open free training centers to appraise them with this technology. Grandchildren can teach their grandparents about these gadgets. Too many features on mobile phones deter the elderly from using them. So, user-friendly models could be made especially for them. Finally, these gadgets could be made available to the elderly at subsidized rates. To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that there is an unending list of how mobile phones and internet could help the elderly but a little effort is required to make them techno-savvy. 080705
The debate on whether theoretical subjects are more important or practical are more important has been raging for ages. Some individuals are of the opinion that pupils should be taught more practical courses like computers but others hold the view that theoretical subjects are more important. In this essay I intend to discuss both views and finally give my opinion.
Those in favor of theoretical courses say that to be practically successful we need to have a strong and solid theoretical foundation. Though practicality counts but it is like half knowledge if no theoretical knowledge is gained. Moreover, theory provides powerful tools to deal with the world around us and the body within ourselves. For example, medical theories help us combat diseases, economic theories explain inflation and unemployment, gravity theory explains the presence of planets. Even marketing which was once thought to be purely practical is based on statistical data which require maths knowledge.
Those who advocate practical courses say so because today is the era of computers and technology. They feel that such subjects have more job opportunities. What they don’t take into consideration is that as far as the basic
knowledge of such subjects is there it is all practical, but if you have to go into computer programming, you need to have your mathematical concepts clear. In my opinion, both practical and theoretical subjects go hand in hand and each has their own significance. Theory and practical are interrelated. Theory is the basis of all practical knowledge. For example a person becomes a doctor in five and a half years, which has four and a half theory plus one year practical. So, for the overall development of the students a mix of all subjects should be there.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, both theory and practical subjects have their own importance. Both should be incorporated in the school curricula. 080712
Yesterday’s fiction is today’s reality. Such colossal developments have taken place in agriculture which we could not even think of earlier. It is a highly debated issue as to whether the growth of this industry is a blessing or a curse. This essay shall delve into the merits and demerits of these developments. On the positive side, farmers now have a wide range of selection, in terms of seeding, irrigation and use of pesticides and fertilizers. Secondly, technology has saved people from tedious work and in the mean time increased the production markedly. All this is needed to meet the demands of the burgeoning population. Furthermore, genetic modification of foods has given us such species which need little or no insecticides and no fertilizers. The quality of food has also improved. For example, fish gene has been added to tomato to make it frost resistant. A nut protein has been added to soya bean to increase the protein content. Finally, factory farming, in which animals are fed nicely so as to increase their meat, is also the need of the hour.
On the downside, such technology has reduced the need for manpower and many people are now jobless. Moreover, factory farming is considered inhuman. Animals are tightly packed in cramped spaces and this may lead to many diseases. Genetic modification is also considered unnatural and as it is relatively new, people are also concerned about its long term harmful effects.
Last but not least, the rich countries can use this technology and further increase the gap between the rich and the poor.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that as every garden has weeds, such developments have their pros and cons. We should know where to draw the line and take maximum advantage of this technology minimizing its harmful effects. 080724
Whether we are dependent or independent of each other is difficult to say. In some cases, we heavily rely on others but in others, we are quite self-sufficient. In this essay I intend to delve into both views and finally give my opinion. There are times when we are dependent on others. When we are little, we are cared by our parents otherwise we would have no access to food, shelter, and clothing. At the same time, we are emotionally important to them, so they always remember they are responsible for raising us up. When we are grown up, we start to learn at schools, and then it is the teachers on whom we rely heavily. When we are employed, we need to work closely with our colleagues and our employers also depend on our productivity.
We are also independent of each other in many ways. We don’t need to go to the banks. We can do net-banking sitting at home. We can do online shopping. We don’t need to go and depend on salesmen. We can entertain ourselves alone by computer games and internet. We can even study at home through online education and distant education. We are not dependent on teachers for imparting education. We can book railway and air tickets online and are not dependent on booking clerks. We can eat ready to eat food available in the market. We are not dependent on somebody in our home to cook for us. Whatever arguments we put forth in support of both views, the fact cannot be denied that man is a social animal and will always be dependent on others. This dependence may be direct or indirect. When we are seemingly independent, we are still dependent on people behind the technology. For example, when we do net banking we depend on all those software developers
who have made it possible for us. When we eat ready to eat food we depend on those who cook and pack that food.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that we are all part of a society and it is not possible for us not to depend on others. This dependence, however, may be visible or invisible. 080726
Today we do not belong to a big planet Earth. We are part of a global village. This has lead to a greater need for international cooperation in many crucial issues such as poverty, starvation, environmental protection, terrorism and global warming. Some individuals are of the opinion that the main benefit of global cooperation has been in protection of the environment, but others hold the view that the main benefit is in international trade. In this essay I intend to delve into both views and finally give my opinion.
International cooperation does contribute a lot in environmental protection. First of all many governments have realized that it is a grave issue and have taken steps to aware the masses of the simple steps they can take to save the environment. Then, the Kyoto agreement was signed by many countries in the United Nations Charter that they would not set up any industry which would emit more than 5.2% carbon dioxide.
The role international cooperation in world business is self evident. Today, we can buy any foreign brand like Reebok and Nike in our country and our Indian brands like Videocon have touched the international market. This has brought the economy of developing countries quite close to the developed ones. In my opinion, although a lot has been done in both areas, a lot more needs to be done in the field of environment. The steps already taken are not enough and the governments need to tackle this issue on a war-footing. The rate at which global warming is occurring will transform the whole Earth into a boiling pot one day and leave it un-inhabitable.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, international co-operation has benefited the world business much more than the environment.

Industries and businesses are mostly situated in city areas and problems associated with this bring up the idea of moving the industries and enterprises from the big cities to country side. I believe this action will be a good solution for some major problems. This step will offer far more benefits than the disadvantages it has. Moving big industries, factories and other offices to regional areas has few disadvantages like transportation scarcity, cost of rebuilding and finding new employees but this shift will offer significant benefits both for the city and rural people.
Firstly, moving the industries form city to rural area is a herculean task. Furthermore financial concern is also important. For instance, re-establishing business in a regional area needs more money, and time. In addition transportation facility in rural areas will be another concern for many businesses. Again, most of the employees in a current factory will not move to the rural area and that would make it difficult to move a running factory to a regional area. Finally industries will diminish the tranquility in the rural area by polluting the environment and resulting extinction of flora and fauna in the village areas.
However, moving industries and other enterprises to the country side from the cities will reduce the major problems like pollutions, traffic jams, housing problems and crimes in many cities. This will also create more job opportunities in the country sides. Moreover the transportation facilities will improve in rural areas and city life will get relief from chocking traffic. In addition to this, living standard of the rural areas will be upgraded with demanding educational and health services. Over population is a major concern for many cities and the decentralization would be a great step to reduce the population ration in cities. Furthermore, in many cases a country’s economic development relies on the development of the rural area and this step will ensure proper development of the rural area. Industries, factories and other big businesses are the main reasons many cities are polluted and the shift would ensure a healthy living place in city areas.
After considering both sides, moving the industries to country side is a long term task but it will ensure the equal distribution of population and facilities
throughout the country. I hope this action will alleviate perilous condition of city life as well as will help the rural area to develop faster.
