My view on college romance

When we are in middle school, the romance between boys and girls is banned by parents and school. On the one hand the adults believe that we are not old enough, on the other hand they think the so called romance will influence teenagers’ study, especially the review to the college entrance examination, so just they ban it without a second thought.

But when we are in college, college romance becomes more natural. Mostly college romance begins even when we are not aware of it. People always say college is a place which is full of magical atmosphere of youth, passion and dream. And love is one of these magical atmosphere. So it’s not difficult to understand why so many students fall in love so quickly, naturally and deeply.

In some way the college love can be seen as a way to grow up, it’s also a chance to learn how to communicate with and take care of others. When we are lost in love deeply, the feeling of love in the bottom of our hearts will make our life more colorful because we finally know we should do something to make our lover happy. And most of these things, I have to say, have not been done by us before, and it is just this fresh feeling that makes us glad.

There are some disadvantages of college romance, too. Some students find love just because they want to get rid of loneliness, so they do not love each other truly and sincerely. As a result of this thought, both of the two may hurt each other in the aspect of emotion when they split up. What’s more, college love calls for lots of money and time, if students can not deal with them in a proper way, then they’ll just mess their life up.

In a word, I’m positive about college love as long as it develops naturally and in a healthy way.

Giving compliments in life is not as easy as we think, in some way, it is a kind of wisdom which needs lots of knowledge and shills. After my research on this subject, I dare say I can give some useful tips that can help people make it easier to pay compliments.

First of all, if someone wants to praise others, no matter what way he uses, he should be genuine. Remember that honesty is one of the precious qualities we ought to be equipped with for good. We should never exaggerate others’ achievements and merits, or we will just fail to give any compliment.

In addition to our sincere attitude, we’re supposed to be clear that the language we use to give compliments should be specific and appropriate. For example, instead of saying ”Great job!”, we’d better say ” Great job! I really appreciate the way you work and your ability to deal with difficult problems. Can you introduce some skills to me if you do not mind?”If we give
