Whether Students should Take Physical Exercise Dear editor，I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether students of Senior 3 should take physical exercise.55% of the students think they should take exercise every day, such as doing morning exercises, playing ping-pong and basketball, but it shouldn’t take up too much time.Proper exercise can build up one’s body and reduce diseases.What’s more, sports let their brains have a rest so that they can study effectively.On the other hand, 45% believe taking exercise is a waste of time and it is tiring.After having sports, they are much too excited for a long time to pay attention to their lessons.It’s also possible get hurt in sports.Yours sincerely，Li Hua

Mobile Phones at school Dear editor, I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school.The majority of the students think that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone.And what’s more, it’s the latest fashion.However, most teachers think middle school students are not old enough to control themselves.It is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone.And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other.If necessary, they can make phone calls by using public phones on the campus.In my opinion, following the fashion is understandable.But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.Yours truly，Li Hua

Advertisements in Our Life We live in a world of advertisements.We see and hear them everywhere.No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements.Radio, television and computers have made it possible for advertisements to attract the attention of millions of people.Therefore, it has become an important part of our daily life.On one hand, advertising greatly promotes sales，on the other hand, in their efforts to tell people about products and events, advertisements provide us with a large amount of the latest information.Meanwhile, to make an advertisement, a lot of people will have to work together.So with the development of advertising a lot of jobs are being created.In a word, advertising is an important business.第六篇

Treasure Your Opportunities The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted.Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes.For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it.Some people use the air to sustain(支撑)them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves.Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.Opportunity is the same way.It is everywhere.Opportunity is so freely available that we take we take it for granted.Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success.Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value.So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work.That’s impossible.Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed.It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however.You must make use of that opportunity.That’s not up to the opportunity.That’s up to you.It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on.What matters is what you do with it.第七篇

American Concept of Love The American concept of love and romance begins with dating.Young people date in several ways.At first they might have group dates with several boys and girls together.Later, they start going on single dates-just one boy and one girl.Sometimes a boy and a girl will go to a movie.Maybe they will go to a party at a friend’s house.Or they might go out to eat.When two couples go out together, we call it double dating.A friend might even arrange a blind date for you with someone you don’t know.That doesn’t mean you keep your eyes closed the whole evening!You just don’t know who your partner will be until the time for the date.If someone asks you for any kind of date, and you don’t want to go, you may politely say, “No, thanks.”

第八篇

The City of Music Music really does mean a lot to people.There were recently over thirty thousand people in the Forbidden City to watched this historical concert from almost forty countries.Listening to music is the favorite pastime of many people all over the world.This is especially true for the people living in Vienna, the city of music.Being the home of waltz.Music fills the air in Vienna.Going to public concerts is often free of charge.And don’t forget, Vienna is also home to the world famous Vienna Boy’s Choir.No wonder people say Austria is always alive with a sound of music.第九篇

Rural Education Now in the rural areas, there are many children out of school.I think one of the reasons is that their families are too poor to afford their schooling.As a result, they have to stay at home to earn money to support their families.Another reason is that many parents think it’s useless for the girls to study and they would not like them to go to school.The third reason is that some children are not interested in their lessons, and would not like to go to school.In my opinion, all children including girls should have the chance to receive an education.People should pay more attention to the education of children because they will play a very important part in the future of our country.第十篇

The Torch Has Been Passed to a New Generation of Americans

By John F.Kennedy And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you;ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own

The Way to Success

Success is something everyone looks for, longs for and dies for.But have you ever considered what success is? Some may hold that success means one has beautiful life, like pretty house, cool cars and great power.It’s indeed one way to define success.But to me, success is doing something one really feels like doing.To achieve this kind of success, one has to bear in mind three essential aspects, namely knowing where your interest really lies in, possessing the strong will to pursue your interest and having the diligence to realize your dream.In other words, they are “what” “why” and “how” of success.It’s really luckily good for one, especially for the younger generation of today to find their dreams, follow them and in the end, make them come true and become successful.Although it’s never easy to succeed, progressing with the strong will and diligence towards the right direction, you’ll be the one!

The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type

The Way to Success

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” And here comes our question, what is the way to success?

A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success.Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty.A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be.Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up.Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody.Without efforts, no one can succeed.To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success.Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way.
