Lately, China’s Ministry of Health issured gridelines on how to handle cases of elderly falling. But instead of addressing the worrisome legalliablility issue, it focuses mainly on medical consequences of a fall and offers technical solutions to different fall scenarios, while also telling people to overcome embarrassment and psychological fear of helping. This has further inflamed citizens who feel in a dilemma between wanting to help, and havng fear of being taken advanbtage of for their kindness.
Falling down is a leading cause of death for Chinese citizens aged 65 and above, according to Yang Maowei, Associate Professor of the First Hospital of China Medical University. However, in recent years, there have been frequent reports of such deaths in public places with no one helping the victims, Yand said.
It seems that Chinese people have become reluctant to help because they worry that the person they help may later turn around and sue them, as that is what’s been happening a number of times in recent years. As a consequence, several elderly have been left to die in the streets with people passing by or watching, but not helping them.
One line in the guidelines that particularly irked netizens said, “whether or not to lend a hand depends on the situation.”
After the Ministry’s gudelines came out, Sina Weibo conducted a poll, asking people whether they are still willing to help an elderly who has fallen, considering the Ministry’s guidelines.
Of the 5,031who voted, only 20 percent said yes, while 43 percent said no. and the remainding 38 percent said, they’re not sure.
Some people left comments expressing their inner conflicts and disillusionment over China’s sliding moral values.
“I dare not help, but I’ ll run to a public phone booth to call 120, the emergency number in China , and ask for an ambulance.”
“I can’t even protect my own safety. How can I have the ability to take care of others? It's really funny!”
“To put it frankly, it reflects the degeneration of society’s morality. The culture has no direction, the morality has nbo bottom line, and the trust between people, and between people and the government is too low.”
“Unless I were Bill Gates, I would help for sure.”
“I would certainly help before. Now I’m really a bit afraid.”
“In today’s Chinese society, traditional values and virtues have been eradicted completely.
No matter what guidelines are issued, when onbe really stands at a critical point, the law will not protect the poor people.”
“There’s no way out. The state educates us this way, and now it turns around to accuse us of having no morality. Isn’t that ridiculous? Whether to help is not a moral issue, but the crux of China’s current education.”
“At present, China’s social values are lost, and morality is ruined to the point of national doom.”
My View on Online Education
The influence of online education on traditional teaching method is so huge that college study doesn’t keep fixed for universities and students. Opinions about this issue vary. Some universities, such as the University of Washington, are fence-sitters(意见中立之人). They deem that online education stands a chance of providing a more efficient learning style for self-directed learners on the positive side, but it might fail to achieve the same effect of intellectual community. While some students heap prise on its convenience, flexibility, and independence, others point out that online education is absent of teacher-student interaction, an indispensible part of learning process. As for myself, I am of the opinion that the advantages of online education outweigh its disadtantages.
Firstly, compared with traditional ways of learning in college, online education is more flexible. Rather than being restricted in classrooms, learners can sigh up for any course they are interested in as long as they have the access to the Internet. Besides, learners can take the online courses repeatedly in case they feel perplexed.
A more important fact is that online education is as demanding as traditional education. On top of the teaching sessions, the lecturer also assigns homework, which is never less than that assighed in classrooms. What’s more, various quizzes and exams are taken regularly to assess whether learners seize the knbowledge taught.
Last but not the least, contrary to the opponents, as for the demerit of online education, I presume that lack of teacher-student interaction exerts no major impact on study. “Lack” does not mean “no”. As is mentioned by Chang Hanyi and Yang Yang, the lecturer makes office hours for face-to-face meeting with students.
All in all, in my view, with the further development of the Internet and mobile clients, online education will become more popuplar without question. We shall make the best use of the advantages of online education and bypass its disadvantages.

Generally speaking, the famous Chinese sites of historical interest will charge higher fees during the time. Recently, a controversial viewpoint towards historic sites' higher charge that whether such action will hurt citizen's sentiment. My opinion is that it's worth charging higher fees.

People could understand the meaning of life and the permanent value from these measures, then they will change their thinking style of study and work. Historical sites let people realize death is not far away and we should not waste our life. Moreover, when parents take their children to the historic interest, the children can learn knowledge of history rather than just playing there. At the same time they receive education.

Some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design, whereas others hold that the design should suit its local conditions and reflect its regional characteristics or cultural heritage. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the latter. Firstly, any urban design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account. Functional and harmonious architectures are needed to suit the life of the people there. In a mountainous area, unconventional and super-futuristic buildings are incompatible with its landscapes and they usually prove to be unsuited to the climate. Besides, the disappearance of its original features may mean the disappearance of a period of history and even the disappearance of its symbol and identity. Secondly, the form of traditional buildings anywhere in the world is influenced by local climate and geology. Therefore, the design well suited to local conditions can save a lot of money. As a small developing mountainous area near Guiyang, it should try to take good advantage of its local resources. Over the centuries, the local materials have become the raw material used by sophisticated and expert craftsmen. If it falsely understood “progress”, wanted to be “modern” at any price, despised the outstanding features of its traditional culture and attempted to introduce reinforced concrete buildings, it would impose great pressure on its people. In addition, such buildings require expensive maintenance which is a heavy burden for its people. Thirdly, it will take a long period of time before local people can truly be accustomed to and appreciate the unconventional, super-futuristic buildings. Lived in the traditional buildings for generations, local citizens are very likely to feel uncomfortable and uneasy surrounded by such super-futuristic buildings, let alone to appreciate them.

英语考试作文 2018专八作文范文：考研or工作 2018专八作文范文：考研or工作 Facing the two options, I will choose to take a job in a company. There are mainly two reasons for my choice. On one hand, I am eager to apply what I’ve learned to practice since I have got so many years’ schooling. Moreover, I am somewhat tired of the “ivory tower” life and ready for the “real world” life, for I assume that I can learn more from getting in touch with society. On the other hand, my family needs my financial support, because my parents are getting older and older and making less and less. Though it doesn’t take much to pursue my further study, I cannot support my parents financially if I choose to go to a graduate school. To sum up, to take a job in a company meets my desire of learning from practice and support my parents financially, which is a better choice for me.
2019年英语专业八级考试作文范文：Migrant Workers
2019年英语专业八级考试作文范文：Migrant Workers The Role of Migrant Workers Migrant workers have made a great contribution to the prosperity of cities. They leave their home-land for better chances. Some want to change their destiny, some want to make a fortune. Whatever the purposes they cherished when millions of them streamed into big cities, they have promoted the development of cities. Most of the migrant workers are hard working and unafraid of hardships. They take up the dirtiest, the most strenuous or dangerous jobs which city laborers are unwilling to do. With lots of building they have set up and streets they have kept clean, they have helped modernize and beautify cities. Not only have they become the main work force in the construction sector, they also have helped liberate city women from heavy housework chores by taking care of the babies, cleaning houses or providing any other services citizens need. Although some of the citizens complain about the increasing number of the problems such as theft, robbery a few of migrant workers have committed, most of the citizens agree that their contribution is obvious, and with better management, their role in the construction of cities will definitely be greater.

专八作文范文 02: The Most Important Quality of a University Student Many people regard university as job-training centre which would help us get a better job. However in my view, the four years in university are also supposed to be character building period during which we can develop some important personal qualities that are necessary for success in the present-day society. Among them, passion in learning may be the most important. To begin with, a mobile society has a demand for those who can easily adapt to the latest development. As the world we live in is a fast-charging one, we constantly need to update our knowledge and skills. while many people grit their teeth to cram their minds with new stuff, whose who have developed a genuine passion in learning during their college years may make a virtue of necessity, deriving much pleasure from learning what is required by the latest developments in their fields. Moreover, passion in learning may also help to ward off the feeling of futility and emptiness, a typically modern disease caused by complicated reasons such as huge pressure and fierce competition in modern society. As human beings, we need more than material comforts to assert the value of our life. In China, where the belief in god is largely absent, a life-long pursuit for knowledge may be a god substitute for religion, for those devoted to learning will be better aware of the significance of their life by seeing themselves as those who pass on the torch of knowledge. In this way, learning may serve to head off psychological crises. In conclusion, one’s passion in learning bring benefit to individuals in a variety of ways, hence it is the most important quality of a university student. 03：Love, and Then Be Loved In recent years, more and more teachers complain that their students are indifferent to others. Some even worry that the young generation might ruin the future of China. To be sure, many of our young people

专八作文范文 【篇一：专八作文范文】 should a person make an important decision alone? a person should never make an important decision alone, important decisions should be well thought out. people who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different prespective, or share their own experience. when i had difficulty deciding which classes to take in collage, i talked to my teachers and advisors, they had the knowledge and expertise to help me determine which classes were the best ones to take for my future career. without their advice, i might have chosen unsuitable courses. in collage, i had convinced myself that i was not good enough to act in the school play. therefore, i decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion. the day of the auditon, a friend of mine asked me why i was not auditioning. when i told her i did not feel i was good enough, she was shocked, she was able to provide me with another perspectiove on myself and my talents. i rethought my decision and tried out….and got a lead in the play. last year when i was trying to decide whether or not i should study overseas, i talked to my friend. this was the best thing i could have done. this was a big decisition for me because i had never been overseas on my own and i was not sure if i could do it. she had studied overseas the precious year. she told me about the challenges and opportunities i might encourter and helped me make the right decision. i went and it was amazing. whenever i am faced with an important decision, i seek advice from others so that i am well-informed and have the benefit of their perspectiove and experience. my opnion on advertisement advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. there are many way to advertise and ads come in different forms. newspapers and billboards carry advertisements; some products are announced on tv and radio which have a wide
专八作文范文解析
Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others Helping（用动词ing 做主语）others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble. The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility,and many people sigh over the moral degeneration(道德退化).In my opinion, while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others,instead of waiting for the environment to improve. There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps（陷阱）by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious(具有风险意识的) and are more wary （考虑周到的）of traps and deceits. some people even wonder, ‘Is our society hostile to good people?’（反问极其有力）The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so. They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price fo r being compassionate. In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious. Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company. So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary（典范的；惩戒性的；可仿效的) deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.第二段开始阐述人们的心理状态以及人们为何不愿意做好事，以及外界媒体对于个别案例的夸张描述，导致人们不愿意做好事，最后表达出自己的强烈愿望) At the same time,as John Donne puts it（引用名人名言）, “No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.”（没有谁是一座孤岛在大海里独踞每个人都像一块小小的泥土连接成整个陆地）Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual’s conducts that form social morality. （举例子，更有说服力）Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other’s position and be sympathetic. If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen. Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness.Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a
英语专业八级满分作文范文推荐
英语专业八级满分作文范文推荐 Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life. Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life. First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission. No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature. In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full. Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon. Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering. Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom. To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad,; life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition. 2013 英语专八范文：中国大学收费制度 On University Tuition System in China Tuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it was 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
