China should develop nuclear energy further, because nuclear power currently account for only 2% of the gross electrical power output. The proportion makes China the least, the 30th, in the list of countries which own nuclear energy.

After the nuclear power station accident in Japan in March, 2011, China ceased to develop its unclear energy, including halting approvals of new nuclear power stations as well as carrying out the safety inspection of all the nuclear stations in the country. The approval didn’t recover until October, 2012.

With the development of technology and security methods, the possibilities of nuclear accidents can be dropped to a minimum extent. In other words, nuclear energy can be exploited safety and utilized.

2013.06-1 Writing：The Importance of Learning Basic Skills

In the picture a teacher is teaching her pupils to deal with multiplication table, but some of them think that learning these mathematical skills is useless. They begin to question the significance of learning basic knowledge and skills.

As far as I am concerned, it is very significant for students to acquire basic skills. At first, the basic skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are necessary, because they are the foundations for your future study. As an old saying goes like this, high buildings rise from the ground. In the second place, it goes without saying that students grasping basic skills well are more likely to find a good job in the tighter and tighter job market, because they may be more confident and active.

From the demonstration above, a safe conclusion can be drawn that the basic learning skills are quite essential to both our whole study and the career we will pursue after graduation. Thus we should pay more attention to the basic subjects and master the ability required at the further career.

2013.12-1 Writing：The Impact of the Internet on the Way People Communicate As is shown in the cartoon given above, though living under the same roof, the parents couldn’t get a chance to talk to their son face to face but leave a message on the Internet. It seems that people depend on the Internet so deeply that face-to-face contact is inevitably impaired by electronic communication in the era of the Internet.

Every coin has two sides. With the Internet, we can chat with others and share a great deal of information from anywhere at anytime. However, the relationship between people will become more indifferent if they are obsessed with electronic communication. As can be imagined, the parents should dearly love to embrace their child.

The Internet makes electronic communication convenient, but it will never replace face-to-face contact. I think it is high time that we took effective measures to curb this negative trend of the Internet addiction. We should communicate face to face with our relatives and friends as possible as we can. Only in this way, can we not be driven by the Internet and computers, and maintain harmonious relationship with friends and family members.

The brilliant historic culture of Yungang Caves can widen my foreign friend’s vision and enhance her knowledge on Buddhism as well, which lays a solid foundation for the understanding of this precious cultural treasure.

Datong is a city full of vitality, energy and history. I believe my foreign friend will enjoy her days here. No better place can be chosen to be visited than Yungang Caves!

2014.12-1 Writing：The Most Impressive Campus Activity

Every university does its best to offer rich and colorful campus activities. As one of the young college students, I have benefited a lot from all of these well-organized extracurricular activities, but the one that impressive me most is joining the athletic club.

The athletic club is a non-profit, volunteer organization that is made up of sports fans. What mattered most is not the result of the game, but cultivation of the students’ consciousness of lifelong physical training. Also, no individual could accomplish the team sports all by herself or himself, so joint efforts have played a significant role in taking part in sports. Team spirit and co-operation has been improved a lot and in believe this is more precious than winning or losing.

To be brief, we should participate in more campus activities, not only can we get a kind of meaningful and challenging campus life, but also plan our study and life effectively and scientifically!

2014.12-2 Writing：The most Impressive Course

During the four years of college life, I have attended many beneficial courses, among which the most impressive one is College Chinese. Although I am a student of English major, I am always fascinated with the charm of Chinese traditional culture, and from this course I gain more than pure knowledge.

To be frank, this course provides us opportunities to understand and master Chinese traditional culture. There are a lot of classic prose, poems and novels in College Chinese. By reading them, we can change the view of the world and treat various people and things with humanity. Each of us, as a Chinese descendant of five thousand years of culture, should have a better understanding of the importance of traditional culture, which not only records our country who has experienced but also determines where we will go.

All in all, College Chinese influences me not only on academic field but also on daily affairs. I am sure that this great experience taking this course will be deeply rooted in my memory.

2015.06-1 Writing：Using the Computer Wisely

As is shown in the cartoon given above, the man uses a laptop at work and home all day and night, for business and entertainment. Even in the dream, he is still playing computer games. It seems that people dep end too much on their computers, which has become a serious problem that shouldn’t be ignored.

Every coin has two sides. It’s true that the computer brings great convenience to our modern life. However, as is illustrated in the picture, its overuse may lead to several bad consequences. On one hand, there is evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from computers may cause many health problems, like insomnia, headaches, and even cancer. On the other hand, immersing in the world of computer makes the relationship between people indifferent. The more people become reliant on computers, the less our face-to-face skills may be.

In summary, people should cut down their computer use for health and social reasons. Computers are not controllers but tools in our life.

2015.06-2 Writing：The Impact of Mobile Phone Use on Education

As is vividly depicted in the picture, there is a boy playing a mobile phone happily at home. He doesn’t want to go to school, though his father begs him worriedly to give up playing games and go to school. The picture reveals the impact of mobile phone on education.

Undoubtedly, the mobile phone plays an essential part in this information era. Most people cannot live without it. While we appreciate and enjoy the convenience brought by mobile phones, we cannot deny the fact that the education by mobile phone cannot replace traditional school study. First of all, students can develop their own way and habit of learning under the guidance of the teachers, which can benefit them in a long term. Secondly, students can have face-to-face communication with their teachers and classmates, which will help to cultivate their communicative abilities.

In conclusion, mobile phone use is a convenient way of obtaining information, but it is still necessary that we attend school to get formal education.
