The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the 21st century(生活在21世纪的优缺点)

Living in the 21st century offers certain advantages,such as a higher standard of living, but it also has some disadvantages, such as a polluted environment.

To begin with, most people now have more money for less hard work. They earn higher salaries than before and enjoy better social security, such as social welfare for laid-off workers and disability insurance.

Secondly, because of the advance in medical technology which leads to better medical care and treatment, people’s life expectancy is longer. Moreover, most people now can afford to buy foods of high nutrition and enjoy their leisure time.

Thirdly, modern conveniences such as radio, TV, internet, various vehicles and labour-saving machines in the home, all greatly facilitate human communication, transportation and housework as well.

Nevertheless, living in the 21st century also has its disadvantages. The most serious one is the increasingly polluted environment; air is filled with smog and water is contaminated by iehemicals from factories.Another main disadvantage is the personalization of human relattonships which mostly result from people’s ever-increasing contact with machines and numbers. Still one more disadvantage

is the weakening of spiritual values. An undeniable fact is that a large number of people are solely interested in materialistic culture,while neglecting spiritual civilization. Limited by space, we have to skip the examples.

In conclusion, although the 21st century has indeed given us a lot of advantages, it may not have made us wiser, because it has also made our earth dirtier, our people less humane, and our spirituali iife poorer, We shpuld continue to enjoy the benefits of technological advancement,however, we must

make a concerted effort to preserve our natural environment for future generations. Moreover, we should take the time now to make our lives more meaningful in anihcreasingly impersonal, computerized world.

二On responsibility .(关于个人责任)

We Chinese place a high value on responsibility. It is traditional deal for us Chinese to take care of our parents. We owe them a great deal for the love they give us while we are growing up. It is right, then, when they are getting older with each passing day, we help them and see that they are well cared for. In this way, we give back some of the love and care they have given to us.

As loyal Chinese citizens, we must have a strong sense of responsibility to our country. I t is our duty to keep China strong in the eyes of the world. Therefore, we should

study and work hard for China’s strongness which also depends on the advanced science and technology. We must be willing to join the Army and defend our country, would we be threatened by an invader(侵入者). In short, to be a responsible citizen ,we must put our country’s welfare above our own needs. Finally, we must remember that we have a responsibility to the world we live in. It is important that we learn to live in peace with the other nations of the world and to protect our environment.If we carry out these responsibilities, we will be respected (受尊敬的)citizens of our country.

三如何看待挑战

For thousands of years, people have accepted challenges in different fields. There are not only physical challenges, but also social andintellectual(聪明的) challenges. Some people risk(冒…险) their lives in playing sports to see how well they can do. Others try to make and invent(发明) something to make life easier. They all enjoy challenges.

Why do people enjoy these challenges? There are probably many reasons. One is curiosity. The other is the personal feeling of success, of achievement, and nowadays, for some people, it is a business.

Today, we still have many challengers before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering many

diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new cities, design and produce new kinds of transportation. Scientists must develop new forms of energy. In short, we live in an age of challenges.

四My View on Job-Hopping

1. 有些人喜欢始终从事一种工作，因为……。

2. 有些人喜欢经常更换工作，因为……。

3. 我的看法。

Many people are inclined to do one job in their lives. In their opinions, people who change their jobs frequently are superficial and tactless. They believe that the only way to success is to stick to one job, for constant practice in a professional field helps make an txpert.

But there are still many people who don’t agree. They argue that change means progress. If you are not satisfied with your present job, of course you have the right to replace it with a more challenging and better paid one. Every change is a step to further success. This idea may be. the reason why they change their jobs so often.

For my part, I think it reasonable to change your job if you have a better opportuniry. But once you have found a position where you can fully display your ability, it is advisable to settle down to it and put all your efforts into it. Only in this way, can you get the true joy of achieving your goal.

我对更换职业的看法

许多人喜好终身从事一种工作。他们看来，经常更换职业的人浅薄，不老练。他们认为成功之道是终守一职，因为在自己的业务领域中反复实践有助于成才。

但是，也有许多人不同意以上观点，他们认为变更就是进步。如果你不满意目前的工作，当然你有权力换一个更具挑战性的，待遇更好的工作。每一次更换就会向着更加成功迈进一步。这种观点也许是他们不断更换职业的原因。

就我而言，我认为若有更好的机会，更换一下职业是合情合理的。但是，一日找到一份你能展示你的才干的职业，就该专心致志把它做好。只有如此，你才能真正享受到取得成就的欢乐。

2.了解社会的途径(大众媒介，社会服务等)

With the development of our society, the campus no longer is an "Ivory Tower". It is necessary for college students to go outside to get to know the world. They should acquire knowledge not only from books but also from the society. Thus(因此) they can adapt to society more quickly after they graduate from school.

The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job.

2、网上购物有很多好处，但也有不少问题

3、我的建议

Online Shopping

Several decades ago, it should be a marvelous wonder to purchase our favorite gifts only by clicking the mouse and then just waiting for the door knock by a smiling expressive delivery courier with the exact package you ordered. While, today, it is no long a rare case. Combined with the fast food, the digital communication , online shopping has been a common part of our life.

Admittedly, on line shopping offers magical convenience. For example, it saves time and offers numerous choices since floods of information can be supplied on Internet. While, every coin has tow sides and

online shopping is no different. Have you still remembered the annoying time when you found the commodities you buy on Internet was not the slightest as what you had expected and long time had to be taken for its replace and even compensation. Actually, just with the seemingly beautiful pictures of the products on Internet, it is hard for us to make rational choices. After all, seeing is believing.

Then, what should we do? The foremost is to enforce establish some relevant laws and regulations, with strong supervision over some shopping websites being reinforced as well. Then, the consumers also should be equipped with more alert in case of being trapped once again. Remember, any fast –and- easy things asks for big prices to be paid. 九怎样改善学生的心理健康

1. 学生心理健康的重要性

2. 学校应该怎样做

3. 学生自己应该怎样做

How to improve psychological health?

As is known to all, psychological health is as important as, if not more important than, physical health for a student during his/her growth. However, it’s quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy.Undoubtedly, schools nd universities should take great account in the responsibilities of studentspsychological health. Relevant courses and

activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain and improve it. For example, there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.

Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves. From my perspective, what they can do is trying to stay positive, optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools. To be more specific, they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind. Meanwhile, harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided

Is Failure a Bad Thing?

1. 失败是常有的事。

2. 人们对失败有各种态度、。

3. 我对失败的态度。

Failure is not a stranger to life. It can happen anywhere, anytime and to anyone. No person succeeds all the time. The more development you want to make, the more failure you might encounter. So, people are faced with failure now and then.

There are different attitudes towards failure. Some people are afraid of failure and they can not bear the blow of failure, so they stay where they are and try to not to mike

progress. Some optimists, however, fight against failure bravely and achieve all his aims at last.

My attitude is that we aren’t afraid of failure. When we meet with failure, we don’t lose heart. We should call up all our courage and persist in what you are engaged in. Remember the proverb: Where there is a will, there is a way.

失败是坏事吗?

失败是常有的事。失败可以随时随地发生在任何人身上。常胜将军是没有的。你越想要取得成就，你就越有可能遇到更多的失败。所以人们时时都会遇到失败。

对待失败人们有各种有同的态度。有些人惧怕失败，他们承受不起失败的打击，因此，他们踟蹰不前，不思进取。然而些乐观的人勇敢地同失败作斗争，最终实现了所有的目标。

我的态度是不怕失败。当我们遇到困难时，不可丧失信心。我们应当鼓足勇气，坚持我们从事的事业。要记住：有志者事竟成。

教育Education

Aducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we

do not educate children only for educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries it has been fashionable to think that free education for all can solve all the problems

of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough.We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refusing to do what they think is "low"work, and. in fact, working with one’s hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor~ we can live without education,but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work is suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

教育

教育不是目的，而是达到目的的手段。换句话说，我们教育孩子不仅仅是为了使他们受到教育。我们的目的是让他们适应生活。

在有些现代国家中有种流行的想法，那就是全民义务教育可以解决一切社会问题、建立起完美的国家。但我们也能

看到，仅有全民义务教育是远远不够的。我们发现在这些国家中，很多拥有大学学位的人拒绝从事那些他们认为“低等”的工作，实际上，在这些国家里，体力劳动被认为是肮脏、丢人的。但只要我们想一下就能明白，其实那些完全没受过教育的农民的工作要比教授的工作重要得多;没有教育我们可以生活，但是没有食物我们只有死路一条。如果没有人每天清扫街道，把垃圾从我们家中运走，我们的城镇就会感染可怕的疾病。

事实上，当我们说所有的人都必须接受教育以适应生活的时候，意思是我们必须受到这样的教育：第一，每个人都可以做任何适合自己智力、能力的工作的;第二，我们应该意识到所有的工作都是社会的必要组成，为某人的工作感到羞耻是很不正确的。只有这样的教育才能被认为是真正对社会有益的教育。
