Giving Children Cell Phones
More and more children are showing up at school each September with cell phones. Many parents buy their children a cell phone because it is a nice safety measure. It gives those working parents a little sense of control and security to know when their children are off campus and on their way home.
But having a cell phone might be a problem. Parents may find themselves facing a frightening bill at the end of the month. The reason: chatting on the phone and sending text messages can soon become the favorite pastime of preteens and teenagers. Worse still, cell phones in schools can lead to classroom distractions, text-message cheating and inappropriate photographs.
Knowing their children can always be reached is reassuring for parents. But before buying their child a cell phone, I think parents should decide if the child is really capable of managing his or her own phone. Besides, parental control must be exercised in the use of the phone. For example, they should set limits on how long the child is allowed to stay on the phone.
Last Sunday, a profound activity, school project of collecting used books, was held on campus. A host of students poured their passion into the event and almost everyone considered it as a meaningful way to access to knowledge, based on the actual situation yesterday.
Our university student union had made some arrangements for the project. From my perspective, the following two purposes can interpret this activity. To begin with, this kind of activity would cut down expenses of students, cultivating the awareness of saving. In the mean time, collecting used books can decrease the recycling and reprinting of books, and it is also benefit for the protection of environment. Anyone in the school who was curious about the project registered their names on the list and brought their books to student union’s office, Room 115, E Building last Friday.
The collected books have been displayed in the library. All students who attended the event enjoyed this marvellous period.
Changes in the Ways of Transportation
Transportation is closely bound up with our everyday lives. In the 21st century, with the growing cross-border travel and longer commuting, modern people ask for a more flexible choice and higher speed of transportation. In this circumstance, the ways of transportation are continuously being changed and upgraded.
First and foremost, an assortment of transportation is diversifying. For example, besides buses and trains, people can choose high-speed railways and subways as their transportation tools. In recent years, Chinese entrepreneurs also invented a new mode called “shared bicycle”, which provides flexible choices for short-distance transport.
In addition, the ways of transportation are combined with advanced technology nowadays. To be more specific, online?ticketing?service are widely adopted by the airplane and high-speed trains, while QR-code has become a normal way to take the subway. It gives us a more comfortable and efficient experience.
In a nutshell, we are so lucky to live in such a modern world with various transportation means and high-tech technologies to choose from. Hence, we should embrace the changes in the way of transportation and make full use of them.
Do high grades imply excellent ability? Opinions vary from person to person. Some agree that high grades reflect high intelligence and are thus indicative of one's ability. Students who do well in exams are therefore always favored in class. Others hold that grades have little to do with one's ability. They point out that some students who do not work well in school may also make great achievements. They take Edison for example, saying that Edison was considered not clever by his primary school teacher, but became a very famous inventor later. In my view, grades are important for us students. When people have no other ways to assess our ability, they can decide whether we are qualified for a school place or a position only from our grades. Therefore, we must try to achieve high grades in school, even though they are not the only standard for our abilities.

Should Students Follow Fashions?
Young university students are sensitive to fashions. Some are keen on following fashions: they use mobile phones of the latest style; they wear stylish clothes; they enjoy popular music. Some people are not happy with this phenomenon. They argue that university students should focus on their studies rather than on fashions. They say fashions cost so much that university students cannot afford them. Some students follow fashions crazily, for fear of losing face. Fashions have caused much trouble on campus. However, others may hold different opinions. They say fashions can drive students to work harder for a better life and broaden their horizons, which is essential for their future development. I understand those students who follow fashions, but they must be responsible and not go to extremes. If their family is poor, there is no need for them to have such luxurious hobbies.
A Letter to the University President Topic 8
careful and careless are as different as fire and water。 but strangely， many scientists have both these qualities， that is， they are both careful and careless。 newton， the well known english scientist， is such a person。
once newton invited a friend to dinner at home。 when they were ready to eat， newton left to get a bottle of wine。 but after his friend had waited for a long time， newton still didnt come back。 finally his friend found newton in his lab。
the reason was that when newton was going to get the bottle of wine， he suddenly had a new idea for the experiment he was doing， so he completely forgot his friend and the dinner。 there was another time when newton was leading a horse up a mountain holding the rein in his hand。
while he was walking， he kept thinking of problems he had met in his studies。 when he got to the top of the mountain， he found that the rein was not in his hand and the horse was gone。
many scientists are careless about how they live。 this is because they are too careful in their studies。
the united states has many different kinds of climate . on the west coast the temperature changes very little between summer and winter. but the north central states have a very different kind of climate. in those states, people wear light clothing during the summer, and they need heavy wool or fur clothing in the winter.

in the eastern part of the united states,summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures.summers are usually hot,and winters are usually cold.spring temperatures are comfortably warm, and fall temperatures are pleasantly cool.
years ago, people in the cold parts of the united states didnt often get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits during the winter. today, however, trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the united states. in this way, americans "send their climates" to people in other states.
Direction: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a position on the topic :Cell Phones .You should write no less than 120 words and base your position on the outline below:
Cell Phones As is shown in the chart, cell phones are being increasingly popular within China. In 1999, the number of cell phones in use was only 2 million, but in 2002, the number reaches 5 million. And in the year 2005, the number has suddenly soared to 9 million. There are many factors contributing to this development. Firstly, a cell phone has no wires and can be carried everywhere easily. Secondly, a cell phone is something wonderful that we can have fun with news, games, music and chat through sending short messages. Thirdly, the drop in price and the simultaneous improvement in the functions have made it possible for an average person to make use of cell phone. The wide use of cell phones has made them more and more indispensable in people’s daily life. The functions of the cell phone have made certain people reluctant to separate themselves from their cell phone.
it is descerned that the number of pirate（private）houses had been on a（an）increase from 1990 to 2000.in 1990, it was about 20 percent; in 1995 it was 40 percent; in 2000, it was 80 percent.
there were some reasons for this fact. one of them was the improvement of peoples living conditions（condition）, all people wanted to own pirate houses.
on the other hand, peoples income was on a（an）increase, they could afford to buy pirate houses!
obviously, there were some good things resulted from this fact. such as it could improve chinese economy. but there were also some bad things, such as it took much time to go to work!
science and technology play an important role in peoples daily lives. if you compare the life of people today with that in the past, it is easy to see that science and technology have done a great deal to improve the quality of peoples lives. for eample, computers have become our good friends: with the help of computers, people all over the world are able to share whatever information on the net, which shortens the distance between them. with the invention of radio and tv, people now can stay at home to get themselves informed about both domestic and international news.
but as a coin has two sides, technology can aisc have an negative influence upon peoples lives. now technology crimes are very common. whats more, the nuclear bomb threatens our human eistence. so i think we must pay enough attention to the misuse of technology.
in spite of its disadvantages, we should admit that technology is very useful, without science and technology, mans life would not be as convenient as today.
The tape recorder is one of the most welcome and popular electronic devices ever invented. Nowadays, almost every family has a tape recorder. It can record people’s voices or popular songs or some other things that people would like to listen to more than once. Tape recorders have been warmly welcomed since the day they were invented.
This device is useful in many ways. For example, a reporter can use it in interviews instead of the old, less accurate means of writing them in a notebook. Also, in studying foreign languages, students can use it to improve their listening ability. Moreover, they can record their own voice to improve their pronunciation in the foreign language.
However, it can also become a nuisance. Your hearing can be seriously harmed if you listen to a recorder with the volume too high. And, if you can’t control yourself, you can waste a lot of time listening to a recorder. So, if used properly, the recorder will serve you well. If used improperly, it can do harm to you.

many senior school students are faced with the headache choice between big universities and small ones. apart from different requirements, each has advantages and disadvantages. if you ask me what my preference is, my answer is that i would like to go to a big university.
a big university attracts me for sound reasons. more qualified teaching staff, higher aims and better conditions are helpful to students studying there.
what is more, various lectures organized by more colleges and departments make students in different majors form all round opinions on things. and diverse activities enrich students life after school. additionally, a big garden campus provides a satisfying environment for studying and living for four or more years.
though more students might mean more competitions, though i might be a small fish in a big pond, i will be motivated to work harder.
in a big university, i believe, my visions will be broadened, and my college life will be a more fruitful and colourful one. in word, i am inclined to study in a big university.
The human being differs from the wild beast in that the latter is liable to have a hostileview of others and interact in an unreasonable and aggressive manner. Primitive humansmight have acted in such fashion, but civilized humans should cultivate more appropriatebehaviors.
In the drawing above, a man carrying a large load accidentally steps on a woman's foot.Given that he gracefully apologizes, the woman both accepts his apology and assures him notto worry.
The man and woman depicted interact with each other in a courteous and compassionatemanner. The woman understands the man did not intentionally step on her foot, andtherefore whether or not she is in pain, she does not attack or blame him. Because she is ableto view the situation from his perspective, conflict is diverted. Mutual understanding such asthis is a fundamental aspect of civilized society.
Some people tend to think the worst of others and become angry over even the smallest ofmatters, regardless of how their own actions are disturbing in turn. Such intolerance onlyleads to more conflict. Disrespecting or mistreating people not only inflicts pain upon others,but can also harm one's own conscience and attitude.
Having compassion for others is an important facet of social intercourse. Once one strivesto understand the experience and perspective of another, one can avoid much trouble andconflict, thus making life more peaceful and just for all.
Changes in the Ways of Education.
Education has always been the focus of attention. In the 21st century, as the networking technology advances rapidly, people combine education with live streaming technology and electronic devices. And, the ways of education keep changing.
First and foremost, the online lesson has found its way into people’s daily lives, which features the advantage of low cost and high efficiency, because it breaks the limit of time and geographic location. Advanced technology also provides online learners with diversified functions to interact with teachers, and that’s why online lessons are in full swing nowadays.
In addition, many families regard extracurricular courses as a way to give children an edge. For example, after-class training agencies catch on well in some first-tier cities. Besides regular courses like math and English, some special lessons such as programming courses and brain-training are also drawing people’s attention. It is a good supplement to schooling.
In a nutshell, we are so lucky to live in such a modern world with various learning moods and high-tech devices to choose from. Hence, we should embrace the changes in the way of education and make full use of them.
