No.1 Opportunity and Success

Opportunities don/'t come often. They come every once

in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without

being noticed. Therefore ,it is advisable that you should

value and treat them with care.

When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but

never realizes it on its own. If you want to achieve something

or intend to fulfill one of your ambitious, you must work

hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will

take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit

you.

The difference between a man who succeeds and one

who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities.

The successful person always makes adequate preparations

to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful

person, on the other hand, works little and just waits to

see them pass by.

In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities

for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and

qualified highly can make use of them to

achieve their purpose.

No.2 On Developing Tourism

Tourism, a "smokeless industry", is developing rapidly

in China. With the open and reform policy being carried out, thousands upon

thousands of foreign visitors are crowding into

our country. The are eager to see this old mysterious land

with a splendid culture of more than 5000 years.

Tourism brings China a lot of benefits. First it enables

the Chinese people to know more about the outside world and

promotes friendship and mutual understanding. Second ,it is financially bene

ficial to China, which needs more foreign

currencies for its modernization program.

Tourism, however, gives rise to a number of problems. For instance, it b

ecomes a burden to our inefficient transportation system. Besides, the livin

g standard of the average Chinese is still not high enough to be able to aff

ord the many different sorts of expenses during long distance travels.

As for me, I believe that with the development of our national economy,

all these problems will certainly be solved step by step. A much better and

brighter future awaits us.

No.3 The Value of Time

As a popular saying goes, "Time is money. "In fact, time is more preciou

s than money. When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. Howe

ver, when time is gone, it will never come back.

As the pace of modern life continues to accelerate ,the

time at our disposal is quite limited. But there are a lot of

things to be done in our lives. We should make full use of our

time to fulfil what is useful to us. For instance, as students we should dev

ote most of our time to our academic studies. In this way we can acquire new

knowledge and skill necessary for our future carrier.

In my opinion, wasting time means wasting our valuable life. But many of

us don/'t realize this .They think time is inexhaustable. I/'m not in favor o

f such of a view .Hence ,my conclusion is that we should never put off what

can be today until tomorrow.

No.4 Are Prizes a Good Thing?

Nobody denies that competitions with prizes can bring people/'s initiativ

e into full play. Encouraged by a strong desire to win a prize, one will go

all out to seek his greatest success. Consequently, the best achievements wi

ll be obtained in a game with awards.

However, the prompting of a prize does not always lead to desirable resu

lts. For example, a competitor who cannot overcome the temptation of a prize

is likely to take a stimulant .And the hopeless competitor sees nothing but

the prize, which might cause improper behavior.

In my opinion, the remedy lies in moral education of competitors. This w

ill help them to understand the slogan: "Friendship--first, and competition-

-second. "Then, prices will play a better part in any contest. Generally spe

aking, I believe that prizes are a good thing.

No.5 On Keeping a Diary in English

Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our E

nglish writing ability. Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter

and takes less time. It can help us to cultivate the habit of thinking in En

glish. If we persist in this practice, gradually we/'ll learn how to express

ourselves in English.

In keeping a diary in English, we inevitably run up against a lot of dif

ficulties .In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble finding

appropriate words and phases to give expression to our mind. Secondly , the

re are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely

hard for us to put them into English properly. Certainly, there are some oth

er roadblocks we may come across in our keeping a diary in English.

As far as I/'m concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a n

otebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever somethi

ng beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our d

ictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. I

n short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for th

e development of our writing skills.

No.6 On University Tuition System in China

Tuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it wa

s put into effect. Different people have different opinions on it.

Some people think that there is no university in the world which is open

to students without tuition. As far as China is concerned, it is a developi

ng country with the largest population in the world. The government is unabl

e to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many d

ifferent kinds of expenses. One of the ways to relieve the problem is for st

udents to pay tuition. The money raised in this way can be used to improve t

he conditions for running schools.

Others ,however, are opposed to the tuition system. They argue that the

living standard of the Chinese people ,especially of those in the poor rural

areas, is still low, compared with that in the Western World. The universit

y tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents, who

live on their salaries or wages. Moreover, tuition may become an obstacle t

o the development of China/'s higher education. This is because it hinders so

me talented people from entering the university just on account of their pov

erty.
