Whether College Students’ should Deal in Stocks?

Recently, stocks market has been one of the hottest topic among the public and it aro uses general concern on whether college students should deal in stocks.

It is widely accepted that practice with study can bring some positive effects for a stud ent. However, others argue that dealing in stocks isn’t suitable for college students. Bu t according to me, I frimly hold that its negative effects overweight its benefits for the following reasons.

First of all, college students have limited spare time and stocks dealing cost their ener gy and time. By taking health and lacking in related knowledge into account, it is sugg ested that students should leave stock market. Secondly, the students can hardly assu me the risk as they have no fixed income and most of their capital comes from their p arents. So, college students dealing in stocks is likely to make problems for their paren ts.

From what has been discussed above, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that college students should not deal in stocks.

Should Teenagers Be Encouraged to Attend TV Shows?

In the past two years, various TV shows have given magic birth to some idols of the young in China, among whom last year’s “supergirls” are unlikely to be neglected. It i s no exaggeration that their overnight success has become the talk of the whole societ

y. Numerous teenagers are enthusiastically following their exmples by attending TV sin ging contests.

This trend gives rise to much discussion. It is assumed by some people that such TV shows make it possible for the common people to become superstars, which is otherw ise an extremely tough task. However, others frown on young students’ participation in these programs. It is held that the primary concern of adolescents should be school a ctivities rather than social activities. Besides, such TV shows may lead some teenagers to be under the illusion that there is a shortcut to success and be unwilling to work ha rd, which will exert a bad influence on the society.

In my view, it is absolutely unadvisable for teenagers to appear on the TV shows, w earing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions. They should put study above anyth ing else because adolescence is a crucial age for their education. What really matters i n one’s life is not short-lived early success but real competency.

Attend Your Classes Regularly

Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the clas sroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.

In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers, too. Your teachers will feel bad if the stude nts do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no goo d for the students. Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of

punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the futur e.

Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes r egularly from now on. And so me day we’ll benefit from it.

My View on Online Education

Being online is no longer something new or fresh in our life. To some extent, it has become part of our daily life. We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for i nformation and communicating with friends far away. But recently another helpful onlin e activity has become very “in”. That is online education.

Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among o ther reasons, the quick development of the Internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible. Another underlying re ason is the quick development of both society and technology. Today, modern science and technology is developing with fantastic speed. To catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study. However, due to the great pace of m odern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school. Online education just comes to their aid.

Personally, I appreciate this new form of education. It’s indeed a helpful complement t o the traditional education means. It can provide different learners with more flexible a nd versatile ways of learning. Best of all, with online education, we can stick to our jo bs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge.

How People Spend Their Holidays?

As is clearly shown in the table that there was a dramatic change in the way people spent their holidays between 1990 and 2000. Especially, in 1990, 63% of people spen t their holidays at home, while the figure decreased considerably to 24% in 2000. ther e are three reasons for this phenomenon.

To begin with, with the development of market-oriented economy, people earn by far more money than they used to, making it possible for them to afford traveling expens es. In addition, people realize the importance of getting well-informed about the outsid e world in this modern era to develop their potential. For example, a traveller may enc ounter or talk with someone of a different cultural background so as to broaden his vis ion. Last but not least, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is not o nly beneficial to both their health and peace of mind. In short, more and more people take the occasion of holiday to travel outside and relax themselves.

As far as I am concerned, I prefer to go traveling instead of staying at home during holidays. On the one hand, I love meeting different people and take in some fresh ide as. On the other hand, it is agreed that the world is becoming a global village. No one could confine himself within his small circle of families or relatives. In brief, I have be nefited a lot and will benefit more from traveling during the holidays.
