On Plastic Surgery
Under the influence of Korean drama and movies, many people prefer to become prettier through all kinds of plastic surgery, such as face-lifting, double eyelids, high nose and plump breast.
Different people have different opinions on this issue. Some favor it because it is a great method to be more beautiful. In addition, appearance plays an important role in interview: the charming men and attractive ladies will usually have more chance to win a position. However, some people believe that natural beauty is the prettiest thing in the world. What’s more, it often costs an arm and a leg to carry out an operation, and people suffer a lot since one has to do the complementary plastic surgeries several times so as to perfect it.
As far as I am concerned, everyone is unique in the world. It is better to keep the originality rather than copy one pretty face.
Waste Sorting
1. 目前很多人扔垃圾时不分类；
2. 由此带来的问题；
3. 提倡垃圾分类的意义。
Waste Sorting
Many people in China are still used to throwing away the rubbish unsorted despite a decade of calls for waste-sorting. For example, rubbish bins marked with “recyclable ” are still seen to be full of unrecyclable kitchen waste and recyclable plastic bottles.
People ’s throwing rubbish unsorted will bring about some problems. First of all, it causes a big waste of recyclable resources. Second, rubbish that should be recycled and reused but is mixed with the unrecyclable stuff will take up a lot of space in the landfill site. Last but not the least, it will add to the difficulty in and the cost of waste treatment.
Considering the problems mentioned, we find it not hard to see then environmental and economic benefits of carrying out the practice of waste sorting. On one hand, with recyclable waste sorted, and taken out, the amount of waste will be reduced greatly and more space will thus be saved. On the other hand, less waste means less wasted transportation and treatment, and less impact on the
environment.

My View on Harmonious Teacher-Student Relationship
Nowadays, our country endeavors to establish a harmonious society. Harmonious teacher-student relationship is part of it and deserves efforts. According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily, a high proportion of college students as high as 58.3 percent take harmonious teacher-student relationship as the most important factor in university life.
As far as I am concerned, harmonious teacher-student relationship is based on mutual respect and understanding. To begin with, teachers are not only instructors, but also guides for students' career. They should view students as equal individuals. What's more, students should also take teachers as their friends and communicate with them freely.
To establish a harmonious relationship, both sides should make their commitment. Teachers should offer help to students when necessary and students should learn to value and respect their teachers' hard work.

Starting Career in a Big City or a Small Town?
As regards where to start career, there has been a heated discussion among college students. Graduates who prefer to stay in big cities after graduation believe that big cities mean more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development.
By contrast, others are willing to start career in small towns. According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily, a high proportion of college graduates as high as 58. 3 percent want to have a quieter and less competitive life. In addition, by working in small towns, they can easily get the management's attention and may win promotion more easily.
As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start career in a big city like Beijing where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.
Creating a Green Campus
1. 建设绿色校园十分重要；
2. 绿色校园不仅指绿色的环境。。。。。。
3. 为了建设绿色校园我们应该。。。。。。
Creating a Green Campus
Campus is the place where university students spend most of their daily life through the four-year study. Hence, campus construction is of vital importance not only to the physical development of students but also to their mental health as well. According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily, a high proportion of 66.5 percent of people think that it is our duty to create a green campus.
Concerning campus construction, it doesn't exclusively involve green environment preservation and protection, but advocating green products. For example, students are encouraged to avoid using disposable plastic containers in campus dining halls and recycle wasted batteries and other electrical products properly. In addition to the environmentally friendly practice, a civilized atmosphere for the sake of students' mental health is involved in a green campus.
As a university student, not only shall we increase our awareness of the importance of green environment on campus
but also we should take prompt action to purify the campus atmosphere and make it more harmonious.
Low-Carbon Living
1. 当今社会提倡低碳环保的生活方式；
2. 低碳环保的生活方式的益处；
3. 我该怎么做。
Low-Carbon Living
In order to preserve our environment, a new lifestyle ____ low-carbon living is being promoted around the world.
It is universally acknowledged that low-carbon lifestyle is of great importance for the whole world. For one thing, it will help us to save our resources and get rid of excessive amount of greenhouse gases. For another, it is beneficial to the sustainable development of our society, which enables our next generations to live a better and superior life.
As college students, we should have a strong sense of protecting our environment. When studying with a computer, we are supposed to turn off the programs that we aren ’t working with and reduce the screen brightness as much as possible in order to save electricity. When going somewhere, we are supposed to go there on foot or by bike instead of taking a bus or driving a car. Only in this way can we own a better living environment.
Styles of Living
1. 有人喜欢与父母在一起过大家庭生活；
2. 然而也有人喜欢自己独立生活；
3. 我的看法。
Styles of Living
Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up. They think that by 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 one. Others, however, prefer living separately. They cherish the idea of being independent, and wish to have a place of their own. Besides, they don ’t want to be overprotected by their parents, but long for the opportunities to face the society by themselves.
As for me, I like an independent life style. Different generations have different life styles and values. What one generation likes may not be another generation’s fondness. In order to avoid conflicts, the best way is to live separately. In addition, by living an independent life, I
can develop my own ability to deal with the difficulties in my life. So I want to live by myself.
Loss of Social Trust
1. 人们之间的信任度下降，出现社会信任危机；
2. 社会信任危机造成的不良影响；
3. 我认为合适的解决办法有哪些。
Loss of Social Trust
With the development of national economy, a worrying social problem also arises ____ people gradually trust each other less and less, especially among strangers.
This phenomenon will bring many unfavorable consequences. First and foremost, people will lose a lot of fun since they become cautious all the time. What makes matters worse, the general expense of doing things rises abruptly as a result of the fact that people don’t want to help strangers. Finally, if this matter is not properly settled, it will pose a threat to the national education.
It is high time that we called on the efforts from all sides to deal with this problem properly. For one thing, the government should make all efforts to create a harmonious social atmosphere. For another, teachers should seize every chance to stimulate affection in the hearts of the students. Finally, the mass media should also play a positive role in restoring mutual trust.
No matter whether this problem is a natural result of social development, it is important that we find a satisfactory solution to it in this transitional period.
My View on Opportunity
1. 有的人认为机会是很少的， 另一些人则认为人人都会有某种机会。
2. 你的看法如何？写出你的观点， 说明你的理由并且适当举例。
3. 在你的文章结尾处不要忘记写出你的结论。
My View on Opportunity
Different people have different views on opportunity. Some people think that there are few opportunities in the world, while others argue that everybody will have some kind of opportunity along his life route.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. For one thing, I firmly believe opportunities are everywhere around us. No person will be unlucky enough to have no opportunities all the time, because “every dog has his day”. For another, since opportunities are transient(易逝的), we have to make good preparations and improve ourselves. Just think of Newton, who discovered the law of Gravity when many people had watched an apple falling ahead of him.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there are quite a few opportunities in our society. Only if we get prepared can we seize the opportunities instead of letting them slip by, just as the saying goes, “Opportunities are only for the prepared minds”.
My View on "Clearing Our Plates"
1. 经济发展了，中国铺张浪费恶习蔓延；
2. 有识之士倡导“光盘行动”；
3. 你的看法。
With the rapid development of our national economy and the rapid increase in our wealth, some people in China have developed a very bad habit of extravagance and waste. To parade their wealth, they tend to order much more food than they really need when they invite their friends to dinner in restaurants, in which case much of the food they order is left over and dumped into the dustbin. To choke the spread of such unhealthy practice, some people with breadth of vision have called on us to take an active part in the campaign of "Clearing Our Plates". Answering their call, nearly 750 restaurants in Beijing have joined in the “clear our plate” campaign against wasting food by offering smaller dishes. Many people have also changed their bad habit of ordering more food than they need. Even when they unintentionally order more food than they really need, they will ask the waitress or waiter to pack the remains of their food and take them home for the next meal.
As far as I am concerned, I strongly object to the bad practice of extravagance and waste. I firmly support the "clear our plate"
campaign and will try my best to practice clearing our plate in every possible way. We have to bear in mind the fact that ours is still a developing country, where there are still quite a few poor people living in poverty. Clearing our plates should be made a basic principle that we have to pursue for ever.
Fighting against Corruption
Directions: Write a composition on the topic Fighting against Corruption. Remember your composition should be based on the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 中国官员已加大打击腐败行为的力度；
2. 打击腐败的主要理由；
3. 打击腐败的意义。
范文：
Fighting against Corruption
Chinese officials have made greater efforts to combat corruption which continues to spread seriously. And the Chinese people have gained much more awareness of supervising the corruption.
There are some major cases in the battle against corrupt behavior. One case is the random collection of fees by some departments, which has been one of the major complaints made by citizens. Another case is that illegal acts in the banking sectors and finance departments are also severely targeted. And the most frequently stressed case is to
prevent officials from abusing their power and trading power for personal gain. Through the battle, mechanisms for strict supervision, severe punishment and anticorruption controls over corrupt behavior have been reinforced.
Clearly, the campaign is of great significance to the development of the national economy and the improvement the moral of society. As is known to all, a clean and honest government is essential of consolidating state power and for the nation's continuing modernization drive.
On the Chinese Style of Crossing the Highway
1. 中国式过马路现象普遍存在；
2. 中国式过马路存在的原因；
3. 我的看法。
With the rapid development of the city, there are more and more junctions with the traffic signal appearing. Then follow the traffic rules that people are forced to obey when they have to cross the highway. However, there are also many Chinese who refuse to follow the traffic rules. They tend to cross the highway without looking at the traffic signal, which is now referred to as the Chinese style of crossing the highway on the Internet.
As is mentioned above, it is very common that many Chinese cross the
highway when the red light is still on. Then follows the question why the Chinese style of crossing the highway is so widespread. Firstly, the interval between the changes of the traffic signal is often not long enough, so sometimes people are forced to cross the highway at the red light. Secondly, there used to be many people in the past who crossed the highway at the red light and were not punished at all. In that case, people have gradually developed a wrong notion that the law does not punish the many. Last but not least, there are always some people who take the lead in running the red light while other people follow their example and violate the traffic rules.
In my opinion, the Chinese style of crossing the highway should be got rid of immediately and the traffic rules should be strictly put into practice to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. Those who take the lead in practicing the Chinese style of crossing the highway should be severely punished and heavily fined so as to help them realize their mistakes and correct them. As for the government and the traffic administrators, some of the improper traffic rules should be immediately revised, and the management of traffic should be strengthened. What's more, all the people should be educated to obey the traffic rules strictly. In the final analysis, all this is done for the safety of our lives and property. I am sure that the Chinese style of crossing the highway will be seen nowhere with more and more people abiding by the traffic rules
consciously.
On the Chinese Dream
1. 什么是中国梦；
2. 为什么要有中国梦；
3. 为了实现中国梦，我应该。。。。？
At the press conference after the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, newly-elected General Secretary Xi Jin-ping put forward the scheme of the Chinese Dream and called on the people of the whole country to make joint efforts to realize it. Then follows the question what the
Chinese Dream really means. Different people may interpret it in different ways. In my opinion, the Chinese Dream means the great rejuvenation of the Chinese people. We Chinese people are determined to build our country into a powerful country of the world as soon as possible.
Why should we have the Chinese Dream? To answer this question, we have to recall part of the history of our country. In the last two centuries, China was invaded time and again
by foreign powers, during which time the Chinese people were cruelly oppressed and exploited and suffered a great deal. It was first the Nationalist Party of China and then the
Communist Party of China that led the Chinese people to carry on the long armed struggle against imperialists
and the reactionary governments, and liberated the Chinese people. However, imperialists have never given up their wild ambition to subjugate our country. In such a case, we have to have the Chinese Dream ___ the dream of a powerful country____ because a backward country can never avoid the sad fate of being invaded and ruled by other powers. To help realize the Chinese Dream, I, as a college student, should make great efforts to study whatever is required by the construction of our country and develop our abilities in every possible way. In the meanwhile, we should also train ourselves hard so as to have strong bodies to defend our country if required. So long as all of us Chinese people do our best to work hard, the Chinese Dream is bound to be
realized in the near future.
Income Gap
1. 有人赞同收入悬殊；
2. 有人反对收入悬殊；
3. 你的观点。
Nowadays in China, the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately owned firms, joint ventures, or foreign funded companies, an executive's yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker's.
Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions. Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap. In other words, the gap inspires people to advance. Others think that income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our socialism's principle.
From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes troubles as well. An income gap that is too wide can contribute to neither the country's stability nor its economic development. Therefore, as we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the moderate income gap but narrow the wide one.
Online Chatting
1. 网上聊天越来越流行；
2. 有人赞成， 有人反对；
3. 你的看法。
With the development of IT, online chatting is becoming increasingly popular with many people.
However, people's opinions about it vary from person to person. Some think that it has more problems than benefits. First, it is a waste of time, energy and money as it doesn't produce any useful information and products. Second, it is misleading because cyberspace is actually an imaginary space where things are unreal or fictional.
But the advocates of online chatting think it is another way of recreation, which is both exciting and relaxing. Besides, it helps them release their emotions and worries freely and safely. To them, it is very useful and wonderful.
In my opinion, whether online chatting is good or bad depends on the person who chats. So long as we keep ourselves under good control, we can use it properly without its bad effects.
Is Honesty out of Style?
1. 当今社会上出现了许多不诚实的现象；
2. 诚实的重要性；
3. 你的观点。
In our society ，there are many dishonest behaviors. Students are cheating in examinations. Sellers are selling fake goods, etc. We cannot deny that cheating in our society is on the rise.
Honesty is still regarded as the most important virtue even in the highly commercialized countries, just as the English saying puts it: "Honesty is the best policy."Though sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone, honesty is better than lying. Evidently it is still necessary and essential.
Although some people may think that people are getting more and more dishonest, yet we have enough to show that most people are still honest. We can often get the information that the honest do their best to return the lost money and the dishonest ones are driven out of the universities or companies. Therefore, in my opinion, honesty is still not out of style today.
Refuse Over-Packaging
1. 过度包装非常普遍；
2. 面对过度包装我们怎么办？
3. 过度包装的危害。
The problem of over-packaging is noticeable everywhere in our daily life. A single trip to a supermarket usually results in several plastic bags and the items we buy typically have two or three layers of packaging. Some form of packaging is perhaps necessary but we have to realize that excessive packaging can create harmful effects on the environment. It is a waste of our natural resources.
Considering its damage to the environment, we should try to avoid excessive packaging wherever possible. We can ask companies to practice minimal packaging and use recyclable material for packaging. We can also start programs or use public advertisements to encourage consumers to bring their own bags and to choose products that involve less packaging.
As I mentioned above, over-packaging is a wasteful use of our natural resources and it also pollutes the environment. What's more, consumers are also forced to pay more for what they buy even though they actually do not need their commodities to be overpackaged. To sum up, we should do away with the practice of over-packaging so as to conserve our limited natural resources and protect our environment. Let’s act right away and refuse over -packaging as much as possible.
No Smoking in Public Areas
Directions: Write a composition on the topic No Smoking in Public Areas. Remember your composition should be based on the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 吸烟是全球激烈争论的一个话题；
2. 然而，中国的吸烟人口每日俱增；
3. 解决办法：禁止在公共场所吸烟。
范文：
No Smoking in Public Areas
Smoking is a hotly debated issue in the world. On the hand, the tobacco industry always makes big money and provides millions of jobs. On the other hand, smoking may cause fire, environmental pollution and is dangerous to the health of both smokers and nonsmokers, who often find themselves exposed to second-hand smoke.
However, the sad truth in China is that the smoker population keeps on increasing every day. One reason is that cigarettes often play an important role as a social lubricant in our society. In movies and on TV programs most stars smoke, so fans imitate their coolness. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to a person's health, but ironically, the problem is that while some smokers are trying hard to
give up smoking, more people are trying harder to develop this bad habit.
Since we cannot abolish the tobacco industry and persuade all smokers to quit smoking altogether, a possible alternative is to enforce no smoking in public areas. Therefore, smokers may enjoy their cigarettes and hurt themselves somewhere, while nonsmokers can still breathe fresh air and be comfortable.
An Application Letter
April 20th , 2014 Dear Sir,

There are some major cases in the battle against corrupt behavior. One case is the random collection of fees by some departments, which has been one of the major complaints made by citizens. Another case is that illegal acts in the banking sectors and finance departments are also severely targeted. And the most frequently stressed case is to
prevent officials from abusing their power and trading power for personal gain. Through the battle, mechanisms for strict supervision, severe punishment and anticorruption controls over corrupt behavior have been reinforced.
Clearly, the campaign is of great significance to the development of the national economy and the improvement the moral of society. As is known to all, a clean and honest government is essential of consolidating state power and for the nation's continuing modernization drive.
On the Chinese Style of Crossing the Highway
1. 中国式过马路现象普遍存在；
2. 中国式过马路存在的原因；
3. 我的看法。
With the rapid development of the city, there are more and more junctions with the traffic signal appearing. Then follow the traffic rules that people are forced to obey when they have to cross the highway. However, there are also many Chinese who refuse to follow the traffic rules. They tend to cross the highway without looking at the traffic signal, which is now referred to as the Chinese style of crossing the highway on the Internet.
As is mentioned above, it is very common that many Chinese cross the
highway when the red light is still on. Then follows the question why the Chinese style of crossing the highway is so widespread. Firstly, the interval between the changes of the traffic signal is often not long enough, so sometimes people are forced to cross the highway at the red light. Secondly, there used to be many people in the past who crossed the highway at the red light and were not punished at all. In that case, people have gradually developed a wrong notion that the law does not punish the many. Last but not least, there are always some people who take the lead in running the red light while other people follow their example and violate the traffic rules.
In my opinion, the Chinese style of crossing the highway should be got rid of immediately and the traffic rules should be strictly put into practice to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. Those who take the lead in practicing the Chinese style of crossing the highway should be severely punished and heavily fined so as to help them realize their mistakes and correct them. As for the government and the traffic administrators, some of the improper traffic rules should be immediately revised, and the management of traffic should be strengthened. What's more, all the people should be educated to obey the traffic rules strictly. In the final analysis, all this is done for the safety of our lives and property. I am sure that the Chinese style of crossing the highway will be seen nowhere with more and more people abiding by the traffic rules
consciously.
On the Chinese Dream
1. 什么是中国梦；
2. 为什么要有中国梦；
3. 为了实现中国梦，我应该。。。。？
At the press conference after the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, newly-elected General Secretary Xi Jin-ping put forward the scheme of the Chinese Dream and called on the people of the whole country to make joint efforts to realize it. Then follows the question what the
Chinese Dream really means. Different people may interpret it in different ways. In my opinion, the Chinese Dream means the great rejuvenation of the Chinese people. We Chinese people are determined to build our country into a powerful country of the world as soon as possible.
Why should we have the Chinese Dream? To answer this question, we have to recall part of the history of our country. In the last two centuries, China was invaded time and again
by foreign powers, during which time the Chinese people were cruelly oppressed and exploited and suffered a great deal. It was first the Nationalist Party of China and then the
Communist Party of China that led the Chinese people to carry on the long armed struggle against imperialists
and the reactionary governments, and liberated the Chinese people. However, imperialists have never given up their wild ambition to subjugate our country. In such a case, we have to have the Chinese Dream ___ the dream of a powerful country____ because a backward country can never avoid the sad fate of being invaded and ruled by other powers. To help realize the Chinese Dream, I, as a college student, should make great efforts to study whatever is required by the construction of our country and develop our abilities in every possible way. In the meanwhile, we should also train ourselves hard so as to have strong bodies to defend our country if required. So long as all of us Chinese people do our best to work hard, the Chinese Dream is bound to be
realized in the near future.
Income Gap
1. 有人赞同收入悬殊；
2. 有人反对收入悬殊；
3. 你的观点。
Nowadays in China, the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately owned firms, joint ventures, or foreign funded companies, an executive's yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker's.
Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions. Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap. In other words, the gap inspires people to advance. Others think that income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our socialism's principle.
From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes troubles as well. An income gap that is too wide can contribute to neither the country's stability nor its economic development. Therefore, as we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the moderate income gap but narrow the wide one.
Online Chatting
1. 网上聊天越来越流行；
2. 有人赞成， 有人反对；
3. 你的看法。
With the development of IT, online chatting is becoming increasingly popular with many people.
However, people's opinions about it vary from person to person. Some think that it has more problems than benefits. First, it is a waste of time, energy and money as it doesn't produce any useful information and products. Second, it is misleading because cyberspace is actually an imaginary space where things are unreal or fictional.
But the advocates of online chatting think it is another way of recreation, which is both exciting and relaxing. Besides, it helps them release their emotions and worries freely and safely. To them, it is very useful and wonderful.
In my opinion, whether online chatting is good or bad depends on the person who chats. So long as we keep ourselves under good control, we can use it properly without its bad effects.
Is Honesty out of Style?
1. 当今社会上出现了许多不诚实的现象；
2. 诚实的重要性；
3. 你的观点。
In our society ，there are many dishonest behaviors. Students are cheating in examinations. Sellers are selling fake goods, etc. We cannot deny that cheating in our society is on the rise.
Honesty is still regarded as the most important virtue even in the highly commercialized countries, just as the English saying puts it: "Honesty is the best policy."Though sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone, honesty is better than lying. Evidently it is still necessary and essential.
Although some people may think that people are getting more and more dishonest, yet we have enough to show that most people are still honest. We can often get the information that the honest do their best to return the lost money and the dishonest ones are driven out of the universities or companies. Therefore, in my opinion, honesty is still not out of style today.
Refuse Over-Packaging
1. 过度包装非常普遍；
2. 面对过度包装我们怎么办？
3. 过度包装的危害。
The problem of over-packaging is noticeable everywhere in our daily life. A single trip to a supermarket usually results in several plastic bags and the items we buy typically have two or three layers of packaging. Some form of packaging is perhaps necessary but we have to realize that excessive packaging can create harmful effects on the environment. It is a waste of our natural resources.
Considering its damage to the environment, we should try to avoid excessive packaging wherever possible. We can ask companies to practice minimal packaging and use recyclable material for packaging. We can also start programs or use public advertisements to encourage consumers to bring their own bags and to choose products that involve less packaging.
As I mentioned above, over-packaging is a wasteful use of our natural resources and it also pollutes the environment. What's more, consumers are also forced to pay more for what they buy even though they actually do not need their commodities to be overpackaged. To sum up, we should do away with the practice of over-packaging so as to conserve our limited natural resources and protect our environment. Let’s act right away and refuse over -packaging as much as possible.
No Smoking in Public Areas

No Smoking in Public Areas
Smoking is a hotly debated issue in the world. On the hand, the tobacco industry always makes big money and provides millions of jobs. On the other hand, smoking may cause fire, environmental pollution and is dangerous to the health of both smokers and nonsmokers, who often find themselves exposed to second-hand smoke.
However, the sad truth in China is that the smoker population keeps on increasing every day. One reason is that cigarettes often play an important role as a social lubricant in our society. In movies and on TV programs most stars smoke, so fans imitate their coolness. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to a person's health, but ironically, the problem is that while some smokers are trying hard to
give up smoking, more people are trying harder to develop this bad habit.
Since we cannot abolish the tobacco industry and persuade all smokers to quit smoking altogether, a possible alternative is to enforce no smoking in public areas. Therefore, smokers may enjoy their cigarettes and hurt themselves somewhere, while nonsmokers can still breathe fresh air and be comfortable.
