How to Enhance Etiquette Education?
1. 礼仪教育很重要
2. 现在许多大学生都不懂礼仪
3. 为加强礼仪教育，家长和学校应该……
Etiquette education, which plays an important role in moral education, has caught more and more people ’ s attention. Because it is an integral part of quality-oriented education and contributes to the construction of a harmonious society.
However, due to the lack of etiquette education in schools and families as well as the bad influence of the social environment, many college students have little knowledge of etiquette, thus it is quite common to see their bad behaviors. For example, they have no respect for their professors and the old, they talk to each other loudly in the library and don’t care about what they should wear in public places.
Regarding the seriousness of this phenomenon, I think we should take the following measures to arouse university students’ etiquette awareness. First, parents should set a good example for their children at home. Second, colleges should pay attention to students ’ etiquette education and open some courses relating to etiquette, and they ought to try their best to create a good campus environment at the same time.
On the Popularity of Microblog
1. 目前微博很流行
2. 微博流行的原¬因
3. 可能存在的问题
With the improvement of microblog services and the influence of some “star microbloggers”, most of whom are celebrities, microblog is becoming an important and convenient way for people to express their opinions and communicate with others. Now, more and more people start to use microblog services provided by different websites.
However, microblog might give rise to some problems as well. Some microbloggers may become so dependent on microblogs that they would rather express their thoughts and feelings by writing them down in the microblog than communicate with family members or friends. Day by day, microblogs tend to draw them away from their real life. What ’ s worse, lack of face-to-face communication with others might isolate microbloggers from the society, which would do harm to their mental health.
In my view, microblog is a good platform for people to share their personal experiences and communicate with others. But microbloggers should also have a rational attitude toward it and avoid spending too much time on it. After all, sitting in front of the cold screen for a long period of time does no good to their health.
On the Losing of Traditional Culture
1. 现在许多传统文化正慢慢消失
2. 传统文化消失的原¬因
3. 我的看法
It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era. The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture. If the fund used to protect the ancient culture was instead delivered to the poor, it will be helpful to the improvement of their living standard. Thirdly, modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot. For instance, college students always collect their thesis materials by surfing the Internet instead of borrowing books from the library.
In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn’t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.
False News Reports
1. 目前虚假新闻屡见不鲜
2. 出现这种现象的原¬因
3. 应如何杜绝这种现象
It’s not uncommon that some journalists make up false or misleading stories about celebrities, illnesses, crimes, etc. Take celebrities for example. The death of the famous writer Jin Yong appeared in several news reports recently, which proved to be false.
People may wonder why so many journalists cook up false stories. More often than not, the reason is all about personal interests. Most journalists create misleading news in order to draw public attention so as to make themselves more popular or to win certain prizes. To achieve these goals, they try to get something out of nothing and rumour about famous figures regardless of those people’s privacy.
Now, it’s high time for China’s journalism supervisory bodies to deal with the false news reports. They should take stringent measures to prevent all possible false news. For instance, journalists who are found to manipulate news should be severely punished and could be banned from news writing for ten years or more.
College Students and Luxuries
1. 现在不少大学生都拥有奢侈品
2. 大学生获得奢侈品的途径有……
3. 我认为……
Walking on the campus, you’ll find luxuries are not far away for students. Some wear CK clothes and some carry LV bags. According to an online survey conducted by Tencent in May this year, there are 37 percent students claiming to have a certain luxury.
On the basis of the survey, the way of obtaining luxuries is quite different. Some students get them from their parents, as their families are in good financial condition. Some take part-time jobs to buy luxuries by themselves. For example, a college student named Xiao Mei said she worked as a tutor for three months in order to get a bottle of Dior perfume. Some receive luxuries as a gift from their friends or relatives.
As for me, I object to students’ using luxuries. It is known that luxuries are notable for their super prices. However, students are not economically independent and their attention should be paid to study. In this sense, using luxuries is improper for students.
On the Importance of Imagination
1. 有人说想象力很重要
2. 也有人觉得想象力无关紧要
3. 我认为……
Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through the senses. As to the attitude towards imagination, it varies from person to person. Some people think that imagination is good for many things. First, imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind. Secondly, imagination has a great role and value in each one’s life.
However, some people hold a negative view on it. They think it does not matter whether you have imagination or not. First, imagination is not practical, which makes people daydreamers. Second, people sometimes do not have to be imaginative in life or work. If they follow the step-by-step schedule, they also would succeed. In their eyes, imagination is a creative power but it is not necessary to achieve success in any field.
As I am concerned, I think we should recognize the importance of the power of the imagination, maintain, and develop our imagination as time steps. Understanding how to use your imagination correctly will put you on the golden path to success, satisfaction, and happiness.
My View on Major Ranking
1. 当今社会，专业排名很流行
2. 各人看法不同
3. 我自己的观点
In recent years, it is very popular to rank majors. Major ranking lists based on a variety of criteria
can be found on some educational websites or newspapers. These lists have great influence on students and many of them have come to rely on these lists to make their major-choice decisions.
To this phenomenon, people’s opinions vary from each other. Some think that the results of the ranking are helpful for high school students to choose a major field of study, e.g., some lists tell people what majors will lead to decent jobs after graduation. Some people, however, believe that many lists are actually useless. Rankings are only about numbers and they do not tell you anything about the distinct nature of the major. Besides, some majors may be listed as hot majors when students enter colleges, but will be unpopular when they graduate. As far as I’m concerned, we should not over-stress major ranking. It should be remembered that rankings can play a big role in the selection of a major but it should not be the only criterion. Many factors including your own perception of the major should matter in your final choice.
Aging of the Population
1. 我国人口老龄化现象日趋明显
2. 人口老龄化带来的问题
3. 如何妥善解决人口老龄化问题 Aging of the Population
Population officials and demographers have much to worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion of people aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century, people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population — that means one out of every four people will be senior! The aging population poses a serious challenge to families and the society. On the one hand, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline in working force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to some extent. The rapidity of the population ’ s aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. There is no doubt that the key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What’s more, family care and community-based services should also be encouraged.
Decline in Morals
1. 现在社会道德滑坡现象严重，比如……
2. 我认为应该如何改变这一现状
In modern society, the decline in morals is becoming more and more severe. For example, there have been a few cases in which a senior woman pretended to have fallen over and then blackmailed the person who tried to help her. There was also another case where a little girl was hit by a car and no passers-by gave her a hand.
To solve this problem, we need first to find out the reasons. For one, the fast pace of modern society is driving people apart from each other, thus people are losing the patience to care for others. For another, with technology developing, it’s much easier for people to know what is happening in the world today. In order to draw people’s attention, some media would lay stress on negative news and overemphasize the negative effects.
To reestablish social morals, we must work together. People should learn to care for the others, while the media should treat negative news more properly.
预测作文. Killing Time Indoors
1. 现在有不少人业余时间喜欢“宅”在家里
2. 人们对这种做法有不同看法
3. 我的看法
Nowadays a growing number of people, especially the 20s or 30s, tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time, especially on holidays. Some spend the majority of the time online chatting, blogging, shopping, dating or playing computer games. Some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen, day and night.
People’s opinions vary when it comes to this way of killing time. A great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheap, comfortable, and most importantly, very safe. Others, however, frown upon staying indoors for too long. They are worried that lack of physical exercise and face-to-face communication with others will do harm to people’s body and mind. Personally, I don’t think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated. Instead, people in all ages, their physical conditions permitting, should be encouraged to spend more time outdoors. The brilliant sunshine, the pleasant green space, the interactions with other people, etc. are all good for people’s health, both physically and psychologically.
On the Senior Empty Nests
1. 目前许多大学校园里出现“大四空巢”现象
2. 出现这一现象的原因
3. 我对这一现象的看法和建议
For most senior students in universities, the last academic year has nothing to do with academics. To the frustration of professors, few courses are attended by students. And dorms are almost vacant with few lodgers. This kind of phenomenon, which has been called “Senior Empty Nests”, is common among universities of China.
Where have those absent senior students gone? Some lucky dogs have gone to their new jobs while the majority are still striving to get a job or engaging in their internship outside of the campus. The severe employment pressure has pushed senior students into employment market earlier. The anxiety of getting a job before graduation disturbs the restless mind of every student, which leads to skipping school of most students.
In my view, with senior students leaving campus earlier, their time of education has been reduced, which puts them in a disadvantaged position in the employment market. Students should start job hunting after finishing the courses of the last academic year. At the same time, the universities should provide career education for senior students.
Will Internet Media Replace Traditional Media?
1. 网络媒体的出现在很大程度上影响了传统媒体的存在
2. 有人认为网络媒体会取代传统媒体，理由是……
3. 我的看法
Suppose you are going to spend a whole month in a remote island and you are allowed to bring only one thing with you, what are you going to bring? If you are smart enough, you should bring
a laptop with WIFI. Actually, for the young generation, a computer with access to the internet can be everything that traditional media may stand for and even more than that. The Internet is so penetrating in people’s lives that many people believe it will replace the traditional mass media in the near future. In their eyes, with internet, you can watch TV programs, listen to music and sing, make friends and talk to your friends, read news and books, receive and send mails, make comments about things, and even do shopping. Whatever a traditional media can serve you, it works for you better.
In my opinion, internet media does bring great convenience to people’s lives, reducing time and cost for people who want to be informed of the world news. However, no matter how all-mighty internet is, some traditional media are worthy to be kept. For example, paper newspapers and books are better for sight while radio is more portable than a computer.
