我们秉承面向社会、服务大众的教育理念，充分发挥在外语师资和硬件上的优势，先后成立了外语培训中心、雅思培训中心，设计的课程有面向出国留学的雅思培训，面向中学生应试的新概念英语，面向中学生实际应用能力的剑桥中学生英语，面向英语薄弱的中学生同步辅导，以及面向成人的零基础新概念和商务英语。作为淄博市唯一高等学府的直属院系，我们希望通过增设多种切合时代脉搏的课程，为当地各个年龄层次的学生和成人打开另一扇英语学习的窗口，为培养淄博市的高端人才尽可能地发挥作用。

淄博易捷教育咨询有限公司凭借自身优秀的外语师资团队，在全校对外交流领域占有举足轻重的地位。通过多年来的学术交流与互访，我们与海外上百所大学建立了友好的合作关系，其中包括澳大利亚的多所知名大学。为了更好地服务于我们的雅思学员，使其在出国前后能够在学习和生活上顺利地过渡，在广大学生家长的强烈要求下，我们精心设计了海外大学的预备课程，为学生在中外大学之间的无缝过渡创造了条件。

我们的教学质量是由学院定期的考核和激励机制来保障的。预备课程的教材、教师的教案和教学方法要不断地推陈出新，以适应海外大学对学生综合素质的需求。多年海外课程的研究和教学实践，使外院的教师积累了丰富的不同于传统应试教学的经验，形成了独特的不同于商业培训机构的严谨又不失幽默的教学风格。

我们鼓励学生有批判性地去思考，有效地把自己的观点用英语清晰地表达出来。我们鼓励学生理解而不是简单的记忆所学的词汇和语法，在交流实践中去领悟英语及其相关知识的精髓，并学会与其他同学合作，积极地参与到课堂的教学活动中来。把学生从疲于应试的题海中解脱出来，并传授给他们独立学习的方法和技巧，以便尽快地适应国外大学的教育模式，这也正是我们预备课程的宗旨所在。

Why Do We Attend University

我们为什么要上大学

When we consider why we should attend universities, different people have different ideas.In some students' eyes, studying in universities means a bright future after graduation.They think they are bound to find good jobs with a good college education.However, life in the colleges and the jobs that they can find are usually somewhat disappointing.Especially under the severe competition of today's society, it is not very easy for a college graduate to find a satisfying job.As far as I am concerned, universities can provide good study opportunities and essential facilities for those who want to acquire knowledge for the construction of our country, and this is the reason why we attend universities.Vocabulary: somewhat ['sʌmhwɔt,-hwət] n.几分；某物 adv.有点；多少；几分；稍微 construction [kən'strʌkʃən] n.建设；建筑物；解释；造句

On Super Girl 关于超级女生

Our class has recently held a heated discussion about the super girl's phenomenon which was hot news in these years.The students show their different opinions about it.62% of the students support it, they think that it provides a chance for those with talent for singing to show.In this way, some new singers can be trained and so it can promote the development of music and it can also improve their consciousness of competition.However 38% of the students are against it.They believe that many students spend too much time and energy on the competition.Some students even long to become famous overnight and can't concentrate themselves on studies.What's worse it can cause some students to worship their idols blindly.Vocabulary: consciousness ['kɔnʃəsnis] n.意识；知觉；觉悟；感觉

overnight [,əuvə'nait, 'əuvənait] adj.晚上的；通宵的；前夜的 n.头天晚上；一夜的逗留

worshipper ['wə:ʃipə] n.崇拜者；礼拜者；爱慕者

Can Money Buy Happiness?

钱可以买到幸福吗? Nowadays, a lot of people in society think the more money they have the more happiness they will obtain.As a result they will try their best to get money, even without considering the law.But in my view, the greatest happiness lies in one’s satisfaction with one’s surroundings.So long as we can look at things with a happy heart, we can be happy.It has nothing to do with a mount of money we have.Therefore, people shouldn’t pay too much attention money we have.On the contrary, what they should do is to put their money to good use and try to have an optimistic outlook all the time.Vocabulary: optimistic [,ɔpti'mistik] adj.乐观的；乐观主义的 outlook ['autluk, ,aut'luk] n.展望；观点；景色

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Surfing the Internet

上网的益处和坏处

With the development of computer technology, the internet has become more and more popular.Opinons are divided on whether students should surf the internet after class.Some students regard it as a great helper, the main reasons for this are listed as follows, first you can surf the internet for any information you need in a short time without working hard in the library;besides it is convenient to communicate with others by using the internet.However, other students think that there are some disadvantages of the internet because there is also some information that's not good for the students.In addition, spending too much time playing games online will not only have a bad affect on study but also do harm to our health.Therefore we should make proper use of the internet.It is of great importance fo r us to separate good plans from wild weeze.Vocabulary: wild [waild] adj.野生的；野蛮的；狂热的；荒凉的

Natural Resources

自然资源

For many years, we have been told that China is rich in various natural resouces so many people take it for granted that they are inexhaustible.people have not considered that one day some of these natural resources will be used up and that we will then be faced with energy crisis.As a matter of fact, many of the natural resources can't be replaced once used up such as the coal mines or oil fuels, etc.energy crisis will threaten our existance because of our excessive exploitation and because of the growing population.Considering the above the government should try to take some action to protect the natural resources and people should be educated not to waste them.Vocabulary: grant [ɡrɑ:nt, ɡrænt] vt.授予；允许；承认 take it for granted 视为当然；把…当成理所当然 inexhaustible [,iniɡ'zɔ:stəbl] adj.用不完的；不知疲倦的 excessive [ik'sesiv] adj.过多的，极度的；过分

exploitation [,eksplɔi'teiʃən] n.开发，开采；利用；广告推销

Examinations

考试

There are many arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of examinations.Some people think that examinations can help them review the lessons regularly, while others maintain that too many examinations have frustrated them.To me, I think an examination is a good thing for both the teachers and students.Teachers can find out how much the students have grasped and then improve their teaching, students on the other hand will learn what their weak points are and then study even harder.All in all, we should not waste time arguing whether examinations are good or not.What we should do is to try to improve the exam system and try to adjust it to our different requirements.Vocabulary: frustrated [frʌ'streitid] 失意的，挫败的；泄气的Homework 作业

Nowadays, more and more people in society have realized the importance of quality education.However students in primary schools and high schools are still complaining that they are overloaded with too much homework.In many teachers' eyes, homework offers a good methods to strengthen the knowledge the students have obtained, yet they ignored the disadvantages that homework brings.For one thing too much homework will take up all the spare time of students leaving them unable to enjoy the rest of their lives;for another too much homework will do great harm to students' health both physically and mentally.Its high time that schools thought more about the function of homework and tried to take practical measures to promote the all-round development of students.Vocabulary: Overloaded ['əuvə'ləudid] adj.超载的；超负荷的；超重v.使超载；使负担过重 abtain [əb'tein] v.获得

Work and Rest 工作和休息

Just as a famous saying goes: all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.It is obvious that people should have adequate rest in order to work hard yet some students especially those who are preparing for the college entrance examination are worried about their lessons and spend all their day time going over them.In their eyes they should sacrifice their rest time in order to get high scores on tests.As a result they suffer greatly from poor health and some of them may do poorly in the examinations.In conclusion we should be aware that nothing is more valuable than health which is a foundation of one success.With a poor health one can hardly succeed in anything he does.Therefore a student we should have enough rest to ensure a healthy body to work and study.Vocabulary: adequate ['ædikwit] adj.充足的；适当的；胜任的 sacrifice ['sækrifais] vi.献祭；奉献

Is Honesty Going out of Style?

诚实过时了吗

Most Chinese people are quite familiar with the story of the three wolves cries.We taught to be honest when we were very young however as we grow up we find that it is difficult to be honest all the time.Sometimes we are forced to tell lies and other times we find people who are dishonest can enjoy great pleasures, while honest people have to suffer failures and still there are times when we have to tell lies in order not to hurt others.Consequently people wonder whether honesty is going out of style.As far as I'm concerned honesty should always be an important feature valued by Chinese people we should try our best to avoid telling lies even white lies only in this way it's a fair society awaiting us.My Views of the Ban on Firecrackers 我对禁止燃烧烟花爆竹的看法

Most of us may still hold a happy memory in our minds when we were young, the spring festival was celebrated with the company of the flaming box and the loud explosions of firecrackers, but because of the numerous disasters caused by them, govenments in some big cities have completely banned firecrackers in the downtown areas.Some people are sad about this decision.They argue that they will lose the tradition of the Spring Festival.Regardless of the fires and the damage to human bodies caused by firecrackers they only focus on the pleasure firecrackers can bring about.With the development of the modern society, more and more changes will take place in our lives.Some of which may be great challenges against the traditions, but we should support the govenment's policy and the consideration of the whole society.What's more upon step into the new century we should celebrate the Spring Festival in a more civilized way.Vocabulary: flaming ['fleimiŋ] adj.燃烧的；火红的；激昂的 v.燃烧；变亮；发光（flame的ing形式）

explosion [ik'spləuʒən] n.爆炸；爆发；激增 The Positive and the Negative Effects of Advertising

广告的积极和消极影响

In the morden information era, one can't avoid being surrounded by various kinds of advertisments.They serve as a direct bridge between manufactures and consumers.By advertising, manufactures can easily introduce their products and attract the attention of consumers.On the other hand, consumers will have more opportunities to get to know more about the things they are interested in.However, there is still lots of people who complain that many of the words in advertisements are rather misleading.Some manufactures spend far too much money on advertising their products without trying to promote the quality of their goods.To make things worse, some people even use false descriptions in their advertisements for the sake of making money.Perhaps it is not advertising that should be blamed rather we need to strengthen advertising law.Only under the firm control of government, can advertisements benefit people in the broadest sense.Vocabulary:

misleading [,mis'li:diŋ] adj.令人误解的；引入歧途的description [di'skripʃən] n.描述，描写；类型；说明书 broadest adj.宽广的The Generation Gap

代沟

Nowadays many young people are complaining that their parents can not understand them very well.They say that their parents take care of every aspect of their lives leaving them a neighbor to have their private space yet parents are worried that their children don't show any respect to them and never give them any trust.Consequently the household phrases spreading it is the generation gap.By using this phrase both the young and the old have found a good explanation for their misunderstanding of each other.Yet they don't bother to take any measures to cover the distance between them.In my opinion I think we should first admit that there are indeed some differences between parents and children then we should try to take some time to communicate with each other frequently.Not only the parents but also the kids should be equal when they're exchanging their views.Only by the joint efforts can the parents and children breach the gerneration gap between them.Vocabulary: private space 私人空间

misunderstanding [,misʌndə'stændiŋ] n.误解；误会；不和

Science and Human Life

科学和人类生活

With the development of science, human life has changed tremendously.People living in the 18th or 19th centuries would never imagine the advanced household appliances we are now able to enjoy.Every aspect of our lives for instance, in the field of medicine or agriculture has witnessed great improvements through the application of science.However, many people complained that science has also brought disasters to human life.Some evil scientists have used their knowledge to do some illegal things.They may use science for the creation of weapons to destroy thousands of lives in wars, they might also use their knowledge to produce drugs to make a lot of money for themselves.Generally speaking, science has provided us with many valuable things but if used wrong way it can also lead to harm.We should try to keep science under control and put it to the best use of mankind.Vocabulary: tremendously [tri'mendəsli] adv.非常地；可怕地；惊人地

witness ['witnis] n.证人；目击者；证 据vt.目击；证明；为…作证

Do Lucky Numbers Really Bring Good Luck

幸运号码能带来幸运吗？

Do lucky numbers really bring good luck? Some people think lucky numbers like 6 or 8 would bring them good luck.Because they bare similar pronunciation to the related Chinese characters which mean “good luck”.As a result, some young couples choose a date in which there is a 6 or an 8 to hold their wedding.Well, many shops choose such dates to celebrate their opening ceremony.However, it's rather ridiculous to think numbers can bring good fortune to people.One success has nothing to do with the number which one choose, but is rather related to one's own efforts.Numbers are only numbers, we should not attach too much importance to them.If you really think that a number can bring good luck to you, simply choose it, but don't forget to still go out of your way with your own effort.Without your own contribution, good luck won't simply fall on you automatically.Vocabulary:

ridiculous [ri'dikjuləs] adj.可笑的；荒谬的

automatically [,ɔ:tə'mætikəli] adv.自动地；机械地；无意识地

Film is Giving Way to TV 电视正在日益取代电影

There is a common phenomenon in our daily lives.During the period from 1975 to 1985, films goes decline dramatically 85,000 to about 12000 while TV watches sprung up from 5,000 to 100,000.As to the reasons, we may consider the following aspects.With the popularity of TV in our households, more and more people want one because of its cheapness and convenience.On the other hand, TV programmes can offer us more options at the same time.Nevertheless, films have not fully given way, some people still prefer going to the cinema.They feel that the audio visually effect offered in the cinema is a permanent temptation.Vocabulary: dramatically [drə'mætikəli] adv.戏剧地；引人注目地

permanent ['pə:mənənt] adj.永久的，永恒的；不变的 temptation [temp'teiʃən] n.引诱；诱惑物 College Students Going to Rural Areas

大学生将到农村地区去

The above table indicates a common phenomenon in recent years, more and more students are willing to go to rural areas to put their knowedge into practical use.In 1993, the numbers of students going to rural areas was only 5% of the total number graduates, however, five years later;that percentage have more than doubled.Upon thinking about the reasons for this change, we may find some interesting things.First of all, with the development of society, college students have changed their way of thinking.They are becoming more practical.If they can get a better paid job and if they are more likely to have a nice future in the rural areas.they will no longer stick to the idea of becoming assistant in big cities, on the other hand, the government to also educates that choice of working in the rural areas which encourages more young students to leave the big cities.With the development of a balanced economy, big cities will gradually lessen their attraction for the college graduates.Vocabulary: practical use 实际用途；实际应用；实用

On Saving 关于节约

As we know, when senior students graduate from school, most of their reference books as well as their text books which are still in good condition are thrown away.What a great waste it is!I suggest that we should recycle these books.On the one hand, recycling them can save a lot of natural resources which can be reused to make textbooks.On the other hand, senior students may have made plenty of useful notes on the pages, they are very useful to the following users.At present, the whole nation is hold on to build an energy saving society.I think it is certaining meaningful to bring long term interests.In fact in Australia and some other countries, recycling textbooks is popular which gives us a good example.My Views on Tradition 我对传统的看法

Many people especially the aged hold the idea that we should stick to the traditions of our country.Otherwise they think we will lose our distinctive Chinese character.In their eyes, we should be pround of the great traditions left by our ancesters, we should maintain these old traditions in order to differentiate ourselves from other nations, but many others are strongly oppose to it.They argue that we should not be confine to our own traditions.As to some traditions, they are clearly obstacles to the development of our society.We should certainly not hesitate to give them up.While on the other hand, tradition may be improved through the international communications.We should perhaps not be obsessed with our own traditions.On the contrary, we should brave enough to take in all the valuable traditions that comes from different nations.Only in this way, can our society be run properly and only in this way, can we improve on our traditons.Vocabulary: distinctive [dis'tiŋktiv] adj.有特色的，与众不同的differentiate [,difə'renʃieit] vi.区分，区别 confine to vt.只限于；关在…里面 obstacle ['ɔbstəkl] n.障碍，干扰；妨害物

Fast Food 快餐

In recent years, China has witnessed the prosperity of fast food resturants in big cities.It is quite easy for people to have meals at KFC or Mc donalds.At lunch time, it is hard to find seat in some fast food resturants.While so many small resturants are worried about how to attract more customers, foreign fast food resturants have rushed into China.Why can they draw so many people's attention?

Firstly, fast food is very fast and convenient, people can stuff themselves within several minutes.Secondly, the resturants offering fast food also provide a very comfortable environment as well as a warm atmosphere.people can not only enjoy the food they have but can also feel the foreign flavor the resturants try to display.However, most of the people who regularly go to fast food resturants rarely realize the facts that although the food may taste delicious, fast food usually has little nutrition.I think they should eat less for the sake of their health.Vocabulary: prosperity [prɔs'periti] n.繁荣，成功

atmosphere ['ætmə,sfiə] n.气氛；大气；空气 nutrition [nju:'triʃən] n.营养，营养学；营养品

Books 书

Books play an important part in our daily life.There are numerous kinds of books and each one can be categorized according to its content.Books are to human life like food to our bodies.Our lives become colorful because of the existence of books.By reading books, our knowledge can be enriched.From books we can get to know many unfamiliar things;from books we can learn how people live in other counties;from books we can broaden our minds and no longer be isolated in our own living circle.In short, books can provide us with so many things.Yet, some books are harmful to us when reading them we will be greatly affected.Therefore, try to choose good books and read them in a well planed way.Vocabulary: numerous ['nju:mərəs] adj.许多的，很多的 categorized v.分类（categorize的过去式）

isolated ['aisəleitid] v.使孤立；使绝缘；脱离（isolate的过去分词）

Women in the Modern World

当今社会的女人

Women are playing an increasingly important role today.In many fields of society, you can easily find lots of outstanding women.With their actions and achievements they have showed that women can almost do everthing as equally well as men.Meanwhile with the changes of their social role, the position of women in the family has also greatly improved.Yet, there is still some discrimination against women, some organizations refused to have women employees.Even when women are accepted, they often do not enjoy equal pay for equal work.Forthermore, many husbands still think their wives as their possessions.In my eyes, women should try to get more opportunities to get educated and try to be independent both mentally and financially.They should never stop fighting for equal rights in society.Vocabulary: outstanding [,aut'stændiŋ] adj.杰出的；显著的；未解决的；未偿付的discrimination [dis,krimi'neiʃən] n.歧视；区别，辨别；识别力

possessions [pə'zeʃənz] n.[经] 财产；所有物（possession的复数形式）

Competition and Cooperation

竞争与合作

Competition is a common phenomenon in our society, we compete when we play games;we compete in our study and we constantly compete for jobs, customers and profit, etc.We can say that competition is the one of the motives of development of society.But we often find competition and coorperation go hand in hand.In a football game, one team is competing with the other but each member of the team is cooperating with his team mates.In most cases we can't compete without coorperation thus they are equally important.While we are advocating competition we can't forget coorperation nothing can be carried to an extreme.Pure and exclusive competition leads to faliure only when competition combines with coorperation can it help obtaining our goals and satisfying our needs.Vocabulary: motive ['məutiv] n.动机，目的；主题

advocate ['ædvəkeit, 'ædvəkət]vt.提倡，主张，拥护n.提倡者；支持者；律师 extreme [ik'stri:m] n.极端；末端；最大程度；极端的事物 adj.极端的；极度的；偏激的；尽头的

combine with vt.与...结合

Theory and Practice

理论与实践

When talking about the importance of theory and practice, some people think theory is rather empty and abstract, so we should try to pratice a lot to obtain our goals;while others maintain that practice is rather too blind and what we really need is to understand profound theories.Both of these viewpoints have own shortcomings: The former one only focuses on the importance of practice, but in fact, practice without the guidance of theory is just like a car without an engine.The latter one ignores the importance of practice.Paying no attention to the function of practice will only lead to empty words.What we should do is to systematically combine these two viewpoints.In our practice, we should try to study the related theory to make our practice easier.While studying theories, we should try to think in which situations we can put the theories into reality.Vocabulary: viewpoint ['vju:pɔint] n.观点，看法；视角

systematically [,sistə'mætikəli] adv.有系统地；有组织地

Diligence 勤奋

Diligence is the key to success.It means persistent work and does not mean that we are to exhaust ourselves all day and night without any rest.The true meaning of diligence is the careful use of time for the purpose of self-improvement.Many people strongly believe in luck, which is a serious mistake.If luck does exist, it will never fall upon lazy bones.There are also some people who think that they are far superior to others in intelligence and therefore, do not need to study hard.they are sure about their success, but too often they willbe disappointed, as few of them can be successful only with their so-called cleverness.In fact, time is always fleeting and can never be re-gained.The really clever people are those who understand the importance of diligence and make it their habit.These people are on the way to success by their own efforts.Vocanulary: persistent [pə'sistənt] adj.固执的，坚持的；持久稳固的 lazy bones 懒骨头

Cities or Countryside

城市还是乡村

When asked whether they would prefer to live in a city or the countryside, people tend to have different ideas.People who are in favor of city life may think it is too isolated and rather backward to live in the countryside;while advocates for country life argue that the cities are rather crowded and dirty.In face, each way of living has its advantages as well as disadvantages.People living in the city can enjoy and convenient services, yet never will they have the fresh air breathed by the countrymen.On the other hand, though people living in the county will be close to nature, sometimes they will feel that they have been forgotten by modern society.In my eyes, people should have the freedom to decide where to live.They can make their own decisions according to their own situation.Vocabulary:

backward ['bækwəd] adj.向后的；反向的；发展迟缓的 adv.向后地；相反地 advocate ['ædvəkeit, 'ædvəkət] n.提倡者；支持者；律师

Part-time Jobs

兼职

Nowadays, many students, including some high school students, would like to have some kind of part-time jobs.In their opinion, a part-time job can offer them a good chance to experience the real world outside schools.Additionally, they can get some money from doing this and therefore become somewhat more indepent from their parents.However, parents are worried that part-time jobs will influence the studies of students.They think students will not have enough time to learn and rest, and what’s more, they fear that early contacts with society, may lead to juvenile delinquency.In fact, it is not a bad thing to take a part-time job, but students should never forget their main responsibility is to study well.Vocabulary: somewhat ['sʌmhwɔt,-hwət] n.几分；某物 adv.有点；多少；几分；稍微 juvenile delinquency 少年违法犯罪

Don't Spoil the Children

不要溺爱孩子

For many years the one couple one child policy has been carried out in China, and it's proved to be an effective way to control the rapid growth of the population in our country.However, the advantages are often accompanied by some disadvantages.For example, the only child becomes the center or even the emperor of the family.In order to provide the bright future for the only child, many parents or grandparents show too much love to them, they do almost everything for the children to wipe way and hardship from them.Yet, when the spoiled children grow up, many of them greatly disappointed their parents, some of them even commit crimes.Who should be blamed? I think parents should teach the children to buy hardships and tell them the correct way to communicate with others.Only by correct education can the children be useful in the future.Vocabulary: accompany [ə'kʌmpəni] vt.陪伴，伴随；伴奏 emperor ['empərə] n.皇帝，君主

Taking Part in school Activities

参加学校活动

Nowadays, a large number of students show great interest in school activities.In their eyes, learning from books is not the sole task of their school career.They also wish to take every chance to obtain practical knowledge.Additionally, they find that after long hours of study, they can relax both physically and mentally by taking part in school activities.However, other students insist that school activities have nothing to do with their studies and they fear that school activities will take up too much of their time.Therefore, they would rather spend most of their time studying.As far as I’m concerned, I think we should agree with the former group of students.We can learn plenty of things from the students we meet in activities.What’s more, we can also get lots of social experience from doing so.Such experience can never be learned by being a “book-worn”.Vocabulary: sole [səul] adj.唯一的；单独的

Early Education 早期教育

It's a good thing that many parents have already realized the important of education, but some parents are too eager to start their own program to educate their young children.It's not unusual to see a 3 or 4 years old child busy learning many things, such as playing the piano, or drawing pictures, etc.However, few of them have any interest in the things they have learned, and even fewer will be successful in the future.There's a very famous saying, which goes “More haste, less speed.” Without considering the age and interests of their kids, parents are actually killing their curiosity.The so-called early education will do great harm to the children's development.So, if the parents really want to pay attention to the children's education, they should first think of their children's interests, and then make a reasonable plan according to the age of their children.Vocabulary:

More haste, less speed.欲速则不达

curiosity [,kjuri'ɔsiti] n.好奇，好奇心；珍品，古董，古玩 Why Do They Drop out of School?

为什么他们要退学? Nowadays, some students in rural areas drop out of school because of poverty.In some remote parts of the countryside, many families are too poor to afford their children's education, but some parents also think that earning money is more useful than going to school.As a result, many school children, particularly girls, are deprived of the chance to go to school.I think every child should have an equal opportunity to be educated.Society should try to help those poor families by donating some money to them.Furthmore, parents should be educated to be aware of the importance of education.Children are the hope of our country, but only when they are properly educated, can they play an important role in the construction of our country.Vocabulary: rural areas 农村地区

be deprived of 被剥夺，被夺去

Keys to the 21st century 开启21世纪之门的钥匙

Young students wil be the main work force in the 21st Century.To be a qualified talent, they should acquire two important keys, which are English and the knowledge of computers respectively.In the new century, English will be the major language used in communicating with people in different countries.To master the language means to have more opportunities to succeed.Additionally, computers are coming into almost every aspect of our livers.Knowing about them will be a basic requirement in the new century.Without the knowledge of computers, one can hardly cope with others in business or in daily life.As a student, we should work harder and master these two important keys to make a greater contribution to society.Vocabulary:

main work force 主要劳动大军

master ['mɑ:stə, 'mæstə] vt.控制；精通；征服 cope with 处理，应付

The Importance of Early Rising

早起的好处

Just as Benjamin Franklin says, early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.It's true that early rising benefits us in many ways.First, it helps to keep us fit.We all need fresh air.But air is never so fresh in other time of the day as that in the early morning.Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.Second, it can help us in our studies.In the morning we can learn quickly.Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day.We can work well with a proper plan.Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for a work.So we urge that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.As a student, we should work harder and master these two important keys to make a greater contribution to society.Vocabulary:

Benjamin Franklin n.本杰明·富兰克林（美国政治家及科学家）enable [i'neibl] vt.使能够，使成为可能；授予权利或方法 urge [ə:dʒ] vi.强烈要求

The Harm of Fake Commodities

假冒商品的危害

With the rapid economic development, fake commodities have rushed into our life and greatly affected the normal market order.As can be seen, fake commodities are greatly harmful to both the consumers and the manufacturers.But why have fake commodities become so common? For one thing, some businessmen take risks producing and selling fake goods just for the purpose of making money, and some customers buy those products because of the lower prices.For another thing, the punishment for producing fake goods is not severs enough to stop the violators.Therefore, today’s mrket has been flooded with fake brands of food, cothing and medicine, etc.Fake commodities have left thousands of people in confusion and panic: they no longer have a sense of safety.How terrible!I think it is high time we took some measures to clean up our society.Vocabulay:

For one thing 首先；一则

violator ['vaiəleitə] n.违背者；违反者；妨碍者 in confusion 乱七八糟；处于混乱状态

panic ['pænik] n.恐慌，惊慌；大恐慌 adj.恐慌的；没有理由的

Keeping Pets 养宠物

Nowsdays, many people would like to keep pets as their companions.There are so many pet shops, pet foods and even pet clinics around us.For the pet owners, pets are their favorite friends and can bring them countless pleasures.However, pets can bring problems to others as well.Some people complain that their livers are disturbed by so many dogs' barking;some children even get hurt by the dogs or cats.Many people think that pet-keeping should be limited.As far as I am concerned, pets are our friends so we should treat them kindly.Yet we should also consider other people's feelings.I hope while we are enjoying the happiness pets bring to us, other people can also continue their quiet and peaceful lives.Vocabulary:

countless ['kauntlis] adj.无数的；数不尽的

Opportunities

机会

Some people believe that opportunities only knock at the door of the luckiest few regardless of their ability, educational background or what kind of person they are.Therefore, instead of working hard to create some chances, they wait passively for the arrival of opportunities.However, many others think that opportunities can be obtained with active efforts.In their eyes,opportunities always come to those people who are well prepared.So these people always work hard and try their best to seek every possible opportunity.As to me, I think I would stand on the side of the latter group of people.If we do nothing but wait, we will rarely have any opportunities, as opportunities and our efforts are closely related.Vocabulary:

regardless of 不顾，不管

passively ['pæsivli] adv.被动地；顺从地

Chilren's Schoolbags are Getting Heavier

孩子的书包越来越重

Nowadays,more and more students are complaining about the heavy burden of study they are faced with.They find their schoolbags are getting heavier and heavier and the hours they spend on their homework are becoming longer and longer.Why can't the students get rid of the heavy load? For on thing, parents who expect too much of their children put severe pressures on them.They want their children to get high grades, do well in tests and always be the top students.For another thing, teachers at schools also attach too much importance to studies.They believe that students' high scores will provide obvious evidence of their excellent teaching.Society should pay more attention to the health of the students, and teachers and parents should have the correct attitude towards the students' development.Only in this way, can we relieve the students of their heavy schoolbags.Voccabulary:

burden ['bə:dən] n.负担；责任；船的载货vt.使负担；烦扰；装货于量 get rid of 摆脱，除去

My Views on the Development of Private Car Ownership

我对私人汽车所有权的看法

With the improved social developments, more and more Chinese families are beginning to afford private cars.Yet opinions of whether we should develop private car ownership or not differ from person to person.In some people's eyes, private cars offered them great convenience and mobility.People no longer have to depend on public transportation and they can go whether they want.However, opponents of this idea think that private cars make the situation of city traffic even worse.There are already so many traffic jams.What's more, so many private cars greatly pollute the air.As far as I'm concerned, the increasing number of private cars in a symbol of modernization of our country, but we should try to carry out some relative policies to put the use of private cars under firm control.Vocabulary:

mobility [məu'biləti] n.移动性；机动性；[电子] 迁移率 traffic jams 塞车；交通堵塞；交通拥堵

modernization [,mɔdənai'zeiʃən,-ni'z-] n.现代化

Love and Learning

恋爱和学习

Most students are often told by their teachers and parents that love is forbidden in high schools, yet there are still some student who fall in love.In their opinion, love can be regarded as a drive in their studies, and they study even harder with the help of their boyfriends or girlfriends.However, most teachers and parents maintain that love affairs will negatively influence high school students.They will no longer concentrate on their study once they fall in love with others.Additionally, high school students are not mature enough.Thet don't understand the true sense of love.I think high school students should be careful when talking about love.After all, they are not old enough and their main responsibility is to study hard in order to have a bright future.If you care for nothing but love, you will definitely be a loser in the end.Vocabulary:

fall in love 坠入爱河；爱上某人

love affairs 不正当的男女关系；谈情说爱

definitely ['definitli] adv.清楚地，当然；明确地，肯定地

On Recreation 关于娱乐

It is impossible for us to keep fit unless we often take part in activities on recreation.One can not work well if he can not get active recreation.There are various kinds of games in our daily life after work.Many people like working and working because in their mind working is the most important thing.But we shouldn't sit too long in our office.It will be easy for our eyes and brain to get tired, even one listening to music, watching TV, or going to the cinema.So I think we have better have more outdoor activities to supply our muscles with exercise.For example, it is a good idea to play basketball, football, table tennis, go swimming and do some running, even go for a picnic.Our brain also needs changes to make us smart and active.Please bear the old saying in mind, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Only by taking proper entertainment can one have a wonderful life.Vocabulary:

dull [dʌl] adj.钝的；迟钝的；无趣的；呆滞的；阴暗的

Development and the Environment

发展和环境

With the development of industry, people are faced with the problem of a worsening environment.Fish are disappearing in many rivers and lots of green land is changing into desert.What are the causes of this? Firstly, too much development of natural resources has greatly damaged the balance of nature.Many people only focus on the economic profits, without considering any means of environmental protection.Secondly, the government hasn't taken any effective measures for the further development of the economy.Some departments only pay attention to their own benefit.I think economic development and environmental protection are equally important.While industry keeps developing, more money should be spent on improving the environment.Vocabulary:

worsening ['wə:səniŋ] v.恶化（worsen的ing形式）；使变得更坏

Practice Makes Perfect

熟能生巧

Nowadays many people complain about the poor achievements in study.Some eager to know other people's secret to success.Thinking they must have some special abilities in study.However they overlook the importance of practice.In fact, only by practicing a lot can we become skillful in doing everything.Do you know how a baby learns to speak? He practices its mother tongue day and night and finally becomes influent in it.So we should always remember that there is no shortcut to success.No one can become an expert without practicing a lot.We should first burn the hardship in our study and then we can enjoy the fruits of our efforts.Vocabulary: overlook [,əuvə'luk, 'əuvəluk] vt.忽略；俯瞰；远眺；检查；高耸于…之上

influent ['influənt] adj.流入的n.支流

My Views on Skyscrapers 我对摩天大厦的看法

In modern cities such as Beijing and shanghai we can find skyscrapers all around us.Now old streets and shabby small houses are disappearing out of our sight.People's living standards are getting better and better.While we are enjoying the happiness and convenience the new high buildings bring us, we find we are far away from nature.We are far away from our neighbors and we become even more lonely.Skyscrapers make us unable to breathe fresh air, unable to enjoy the sunlight and unable to talk with our neighbors as we used to.In some people's eyes skyscrapers can be regarded as a symbol of social progress.But for me I’m still longing for the small house where I spent my happy childhood.Vocabulary: shabby ['ʃæbi] adj.破旧的；卑鄙的；吝啬的；低劣的 out of sight 看不见；在视野之外；在看不见的地方

Going Abroad

出国

Recently many young people, even students in high schools, are dreaming of studying abroad.Attracted by the advanced science and technology, they are eager to go to foreign countries, thinking that they are bound to have a bright future.But the reality may not be as good as they have expected.Some high school students may find it difficult to get used to the new surroundings.Some can not put up with the poor living conditions.Some may give up their study because of lack of self-control.Very few of them can finish their study successfully.In my opinion,(I think)high school students should make their own decisions according to their different family backgrounds.But the most important thing is that they must be clear about their purpose in doing so and they should also have to prepare fully.44

My Spring Vacation

我的春假

The weather will get warmer with the coming of spring.People usually like to go for an outing at this time of the year.Up to now, I still remember one of my spring outings.It was a very interesting experience.One weekend, my schoolmates and I decided to visit a famous mountain.It was a bright and cheerful morning.We were singing and laughing all the way.Passing a large piece of green grassland at the foot of the mountain, we began to climb.We could see many beautiful flowers and oak trees on the mountainside.The mountain was quite high, but we finally reached the top.No sooner had we arrived at the top than it began to rain.From the mountain top, we could get a bird's eye view of the town.It looked so beautiful in the rain and mist.We also visited a temple there and had a talk with some monks, who told us about the history of the temple and Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.When it was getting dark, we returned.Though I was tired that night, I was too excited to fall asleep.Vocabulary: Up to now 到目前为止

My First Day at Tsinghua Subordinate High School

我在清华附属中学的一天

It was on a warm autumn day that my elder brother and I walked into Tsinghua Subordinate High School.The strong dry wind was quite different from that in my hometown, which is usually mild.After registering in the senior section, a teacher took me to my dormitory.I put my luggage on the appointed bed and looked around.The room was not big, but clean with two tables and three bunk beds.Soon, two of my roommates arrived, too.They were glad to meet me and told me a lot about the school life there because they were already junior students of this school.We were busy the whole morning, talking and arranging things.I got acquainted with my new classmates very soon.My brother and I went downtown in the afternoon and walked around.Although I was quite unwilling to say “Goodbye” to my brother, he had to leave for my hometown in the evening.At dusk, we went to a restaurant for our supper.Sitting face to face, I suddenly realized I had grown up and I had to look after myself and live independently.When I walked around on campus after dinner, I noticed many students were going to their classrooms to study.From then on, I knew my senior high school life had really begun.Vocabulary: mild [maild] adj.温和的；轻微的；淡味的；文雅的；不含有害物质的的 acquainted with 熟悉；了解；与…相识

A Good Lesson 一个好的教训

I'm always careless with what I'm doing.My mother warns me of the dangers, but I turned a deaf ear to her words.However, a fire once gave me a good lesson and made me correct my shortcomings of carelessness.One day, my parents were out, so I decided to prepare lunch for myself.As I was cooking in the kitchen, the telephone rang.I went to answer the call immediately.It was my closest friend Linda.We were talking and talking on the phone when the fire alarm sounded.I ran back to the kitchen, finding the room was full of smoke and the food was badly burnt.I quickly turned off the gas, opened all the windows and then went out of the house.To my surprise, two fire engines were outside my house.One of my neighbors called the fire brigade.I told the firemen it was my careless cooking that caused the heavy smoke.I was quite ashamed of myself and made up my mind to be careful with whatever I do from then on.Vocabulary: turned a deaf ear 充耳不闻；不加理睬；不愿听 fire brigade n.消防队

The Earth Day

地球日

April 22nd is the Earth Day.Our school organized a lot of activities to improve our environment.In the morning, some of us planted trees.Some picked up rubbish in the neighborhood or parks.Most of us also gave money to organizations that help to save forests and endangered animals.Several groups of the students went to the streets, telling passers-by how seriously our earth is damaged.Many rain forests are disappearing.A lot of wild animals are killed.By doing all these we would like everybody to know that we have only one earth and we should protect it.Saving the earth is saving ourselves.Vocabulary:

endangered [in'deindʒəd] adj.濒临灭绝的；有生命危险的
