Study Abroad 英语

Nowadays study abroad has come into a fashion. Each year thousands of students fly

to foreign countries to study, especially to the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and European countries.

Attending schools abroad has a lot of advantages. Firstly, many foreign universities can

offer better study conditions and have more advanced teaching equipments, so we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology there. Secondly, students who study abroad may get in touch with people from various countries，hence they can serve as mediators between people of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. Finally, we can grasp and improve a foreign language more quickly and correcting it through more frequently using of it. However, study abroad also present some disadvantages. The cost of living there is so high that many students can’t put all the heart into study. They have to spend much energy on the tuition. Besides, they are far away from their families and relatives. Feeling of loneliness is certainly one of those tough things many students studying abroad have to cope with and it is also true that a significant number of married students find themselves having problems with their marriage. Thus divorce rate is high among the Chinese students.

In spite of this, the advantages overweigh the disadvantages. So it is advisable to

study abroad and the most important is that we should make contribution to our native country after we finish our study.

The Advantages of Learning History

When talking about the question whether the students should learn history or

not, there are various kinds of voices. Some people say that it is absolutely necessary for the students to learn history. However, there are still a lot of people holding the opposite views. Personally speaking, I favor the former one. The reasons are as follows.

First of all, learning history is good for us to learn a lot of knowledge about the

whole world and our strong country-China. In addition, learning history can make us learned. And we can talk with others about history; we will have more topics to talk to our friends. I believe if we are learned, many people will admire us. Furthermore, learning history will make us make more friends.

In a word, learning history has a lot of benefits. We should enrich our knowledge and

enlarge our sights.

Air Pollution

We all know that clean air is important to good health. Wherever you go and whatever

you do，you are always surrounded by a sea of gases that we call air. If there are impurities in the air, they may be absorbed by our bodies and make us ill. We need clean air, but unfortunately, air pollution is globally present, especially in cities.

Many large cities are anything but pollution-free. Our cities have many factories, which

we need to make food, clothing and other things. Every year these factories pour millions upon millions of tons of smog into the air. Power plants and houses that burn coal add greatly to air pollution. Besides, there are more cars in cities now. Once out on the streets, they will

take in fresh air and replace it with poisonous gases.

Our country is trying hard to prevent and control air pollution. As

long as every citizen realizes its importance and makes joint efforts, the day will come

soon when people will take in only clean air. Then, the sunlight will no longer be blackened out by smoke and soot.

The Best Way to Stay Healthy

Nowadays health has become a main topic in our life. People are beginning to attach

much more importance to their health these days than ever before. However, many people don’t know how to keep healthy although great efforts have been made in this regard. In my opinion, there are three things we can do if we want to be well.

First, we should have the right food, because proper nutrition is the most important for

good health. Avoid foods with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of high protein foods, vegetables and fruits. Do not overeat. Secondly, we should get proper amount of sleep, because without enough sleep, we will often feel tired and irritable. Allow ourselves at least eight hours of sleep each day. Have a map at noon if time permits. Finally, we should exercise regularly, because life depends on exercise. Regular exercise strengthens our hearts and lungs. In addition, it prevents us from putting on weight.

If everyone is to do so, there will be much less complaining about poor health and there

will be much more happiness in our life.

On Dieting

More and more people, especially females, are beginning to go on diet. Some people are concerned with their health, they begin to go on diet in order to lose unwanted weight. But some others, especially the young women, are paying too much attention to their

outward appearance, they become the leading members who go on diet.

Dieting is of great benefit to the over-weighted people. First, being overweight is bad for one’s health because it leads to heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. Second, being overweight brings about much inconvenience to the life of the over-weighted people and dieting enables them to enjoy life more.

Dieting also has some disadvantages. For one thing, many people diet not because they really want to live a healthy life, but because they are vain. In this way, they will suffer from malnutrition. For another, Dieters lead a miserable life because they are forever hungry and , at the same time, they have to go through the misery of watching others enjoy their three meals a day.

Greener City Better Life

With the expansion of our city, there appears large amounts of green land. Nowadays, big trees grow well in the parks and along the streets. Grass and flowers decorate the squares and the land around our houses. People in the cities can also enjoy the fresh air, which is the long-held natural franchise of the countryside.

Greenery can bring people many benefits. Fresh air is its utmost contribution to us. And we so feel thankful to the tall trees which enable us to walk in the shade instead of in the sun. After a day’s hard work, it is really refreshing to turn our attention to the beauty and fragrance of the flowers. The forest of steel and cement bores us, while the green gives us a life.

We should spare no efforts to make our city greener. What’s more important is every citizen ought to realize the importance of the green land to our existence and do something to keep our city green.

How Does Technology Influence Our Lives?

Whether one is willing or not, he can not deny that endless innovations of technology are constantly changing our lives. Apparently, not everyone is optimistic about the trend, but there are unquestionable positive aspects of it.

To the senior in the society, health and security are the most concerned issues. Today, thanks to the growing process in medicine field, the life span and quality have been greatly enhanced. To the young, the startling advances in application technology enable them to work and live more comfortably. After work, benefiting form all the conveniences provided by such handy appliances as microwave ovens, washing machines, or automobiles, people enjoy a lot more leisure time and feel more relaxed. As to children, they benefit most from the boom of information technology. For decades. computers and communication systems processed information only for selected audiences. Now, the development of technology makes everyone, including children, to get cheap information. Exposed to this from the early age, today’s children learn by trial and error how to collect and process in formation into useful knowledge at a fast pace.

It might be because new technology is booming out at such a fantastic speed that many people aren’t feeling at ease with it. However, it does aim at making our lives more convenient and comfortable.

Positive and Negative Aspects of Sports

Sports benefit us in many ways. First, sports can make us fit and strong physically. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all

parts of our bodies. Second, sports can build up our physical strength. When we feel that we are in a low spirit, taking part in sports can help us forget our anxieties and worries. Finally, sports can teach us some lessons about life. Through participation, we can learn that on the playground we not only struggle for ourselves but also fight for our team. Sports teach us to be considerate, cooperative and optimistic.

But sports can also bring us a lot of trouble. This is especially true when we cannot plan our activities properly. Too much exercise many make us exhausted. Too hard training may hurt us or even make us sick.

I am fond of sports very much. I feel that I not only gain a well-balanced life through going in for sports, but also get more chances to make more friends, and move closer to nature. Sports add happiness to my everyday life when I participate in them in a proper way.

Styles of Living

Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up. They hold the opinion that living with parents, they can take better care of their parents and vice versa. Meanwhile, they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties. To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.

Others, however, prefer to live separately. They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like. Besides, they don’t want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.

As to me, I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love may parents. Different generations have

different life styles and values. What one generation likes may not be another generation’s fondness. Living separately, each generation can enjoy different value. In addition, by leading an independent life, I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life.

Christmas Day

With the rapid globalization, Christmas Day is accepted by more and more people all over the world, even in the area where Christianity is not the mainstream religion. Christmas Day is a typical western holiday celebrated by the ones who worship the Christianity in order to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

It appeals to me for the following two causes. Firstly, it offers me a great chance to gain a better understanding of western culture. Whenever December comes, all of the people are immersed in the happy atmosphere. Secondly, it provides me an opportunity to have a short break in the last month of a year to refresh myself and be well-prepared for the coming new year both physically and psychologically.

As for me, I usually go shopping before the Christmas in order to buy some small gifts for my parents, friends and teachers. When it come, I will hold a party with my initial friends through which we can exchange our ideas and enhance our friendship.

Traveling by Train or by Plane

When we go on a trip, we will be faced with the choice of traveling by train or by plane. Before making the right choice, we had better make a close comparison and contrast of them.

First of all, a train will take us

to our target railway station. Also, a plane will take us to the target airport. Second, in a train we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the countryside. Likewise, in a plane we can command a good view of fields, buildings, mountains and even plains of clouds. Despite these similarities, they differ in the following aspects. First, a train ticket is cheap. Most of us can afford it. However, a plane ticket is about twice as expensive as a train ticket. Most of us grudge paying for it. Besides, it is safer to travel by train. If the train gets into some trouble, we may survive by jumping out of it. On the contrary, if we travel by plane, we have to ask God to bless us. However, it takes us longer time to travel by train than by plane.

Therefore, it depends which transportation tool we should choose. If we just want to save money, we will travel by train, but if we want to save time, we will turn to the plane.

My Favorite Animal

When facing with this question that what your favorite animal is, different people have different views. Someone may say that they like dogs that are the most honest friends for humans. However, my favorite animal is the panda. The panda looks like a bear and polar bear. I think the panda is very cute and lovely, and is very strong and heave. It can walk, and it can climb trees. Pandas live in China. I like them.

The panda is one of the scarcest animals. People in the world like it very much. There used to be many pandas in China long ago. As the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer, pandas became less and less. At present, the number of pandas is increasing year by year. There are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them.

Nowadays, the biggest nature park for pandas in China is in Sichuan. There is a research center for nature and wild life there. Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them life there. Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.

Away form Net-bar Campaign

It has been reported that many schools have recently launched a campaign named ”Away from Net-bar”. More than a thousand students have signed for their solemn promise that they will not spend a single minute in the net-bars. This campaign is especially meaningful for the healthy development of the minors.

The Internet has brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, and it has also benefited some businessmen, especially the owner of net-bar. While it is true that most net-bars are running legally, it is also true that some are offering unhealthy programs that involve violence and sex content. Since most students are prone to be influenced and they can hardly tell which bars are doing well and which ones are not, it is only advisable that they stay away from all. Besides, staying away from net-bars also does good to students’ physical health. By passively sitting too long in front of the computer screen, both their eyesight and physique suffer.

Obviously, the Away from Net-bars Campaign is an activity that is worth advocating and it merits other schools’ reference.

The Advantages of Public Transportation

Public transportation plays an indispensable role in people’s life. It is

very convenient for commuters, tourists and the ones without private cars. Citizens can go to anywhere they want to go by public transportation tools which could cover every location. Also, a perfect public transportation system is beneficial to a city’s development.

There are more advantages of public transportation in comparison to those of private cars. Firstly, taking public transportation tools is money-saving. However, keeping a private car needs a large amount of money. Secondly, public transportation could save more petrol and decrease the pollutants released. While with the widespread of private cars, it is harmful to natural resources and environment. Lastly, drivers of public transportation vehicles are much more skillful than private car owners, which could decrease the rate of accidents.

As for me, related departments should take actions to improve the public transportation

system. And then some citizens will give their priority to public transportation rather than their own cars.

My opinion on Cheating in Examinations

With the development of the society, people pay more and more attention to education. As a result, thousands of students take part in various examinations.

However, some students have been found cheating on their exams. Some of them copy from each others, some took out their textbooks or reference books to copy, some copied from small pieces of paper on which they had prepared for the exam, still some used the modern communication tools such as BP, mobile phone as a way to cheat on exams.

Then, what’s the effect of cheating on exam? There are three factors for this. First, it results in an unfair competition and will destroy the creativity of those bright students. Second, it will ruin the students’ self-confidence in the long run. Third, under that kind of circumstances, the students graduated from the schools will not be the one who can meet the need of the society.

However, how to stop cheating on exam? In my opinion, there are two ways we can adopt. First, a severe punishment should be put into effect to prevent students from cheating. Second, great effort should be made to make students understand what kind of person the society needs and try to improve their self-confidence
