1.Are Books Still NeededPeople’s ideas on whether books are needed today vary from person to person. . Some people think that books aren’t needed any more because people can read information on computers. However, other people think books are still necessary. As to me, I agree with the second idea.First, while it is true that people can obtain information on Internet, this is not to say that books are not needed any more. Books can be easily carried everywhere. When you go to school, you must carry the textbooks with you. Computer hasn’t been used in common class up to now. Second, forget it could also be argued that people can read books in computer, but don’t forget it is bad for your eyes. Everyone should be careful of it. Therefore, the first opinion can’t stand up to close examination. Books are still needed for us all.2.The Importance of Learning How to Use ComputerWith the rapid development of science and technology, computers have entered our lives. They are used in nearly every field. So I think it is very important to learn how to use computers.By using computers, people can see and speak to the world without leaving home. For example, instead of going to school, children can sit in front of their PC and get information about their courses through particular network. They hand in their term paper and talk with their teachers by e-mails.In addition, if the computer hadn’t been invented, the world would have been in disorder. For example, the traffic would be very heavy if the traffic system were not controlled by computers. Without the help of computers, it wouldn’t have been possible for human to explore the space.In a word, computers are the greatest invention in the 20th century. It’s necessary for us to learn how to use it in order to keep up with the times.3.My FutureDifferent student has different view on what he’ll be in the future. Up to now I haven’t decided what my major will be if I could enter the university. I like to be a teacher, or a singer, or a computer programmer. But I know I would choose one of them to make a living.If I could enter a good university, it doesn’t mean everything would be smooth with me for the rest my life. Good qualification doesn’t promise a bright future. Though high education will lay a good foundation for our future career, we still have to keep learning so as to remain competitive in our future job.In a word, no matter what I did in the future, I would try to be a useful person to the society. I will be responsible for what I do, and I will devote myself to the service of the people.4.How to spend leisure timeAs is known to all, the main task of students is to study. We should make the most of time to learn as much as possible. But we still want to enjoy our spare time to make our life full.There are many ways to spend our spare time. Some people enjoy themselves by dancing, playing ball games, going to a movie or reading at home. They can take the advantage of these activities by making friends as well as relaxing themselves. Others prefer doing something for the needy people by working as a volunteer in their spare time. They feel they are important to others and useful to the society when they offer help to others.As for me, I often listen to the music and chat with my friends. Sometimes especially during the summer holiday, I will try to find a part time job to gain some social experience. I think all these activities can help us young people learn from each other and make some contribution to the society as well.5.BooksBooks are our good friends. They give us both knowledge and pleasure. With books, our life is colorful and interesting. As the proverb goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Books are good friends that we can turn to for help whenever we meet any difficulties.Reading more books is important, however, learning how to make the most of books counts for much more. We read some books for fun or for information. But the most important value of books is that we can learn from them, thus we can think and behave more wisely.Books serve as a guide for youth. When we try to practice what we learn from books, we have learned the true value of books.6.The most effective study skillIn my opinion, the most important way to study effectively is to pay enough attention to the mistakes one has made. The value of learning from one’s mistakes was shown in many students’ experience.One of my classmates found that by paying enough attention to the mistakes he has made in his math exercises, he could avoid making the same mistake in the exam. Another friend of mine, Kenny, said that mistakes helped her learn where the problem lay, thus helping her adjust study plan to overcome her weakness.In a word, the only answer to my academic success is to learn from mistakes and failures.7.Why should we read newspaper every dayMore and more people read newspaper every day. There are many reasons for reading newspaper, but in general, they come down to three major ones.For one thing, there’re many important issues happening at home and abroad. Newspaper makes us well-informed. Reports on the on-going important events are often given up-to-date.For another, newspaper helps to cultivate our social responsibility if we join the discussion about those hot issues by writing to the editor of the newspaper.Last but not least, it is good way of relaxing ourselves by reading newspaper for a while after a whole day’s work. What we learn from newspaper could become a topic for dinner conversation.In a word, newspaper is our friend. We read it everyday to get information or to know something we need for our job. I hope that everyone will enjoy reading newspaper as long as he can.8.Time is moneyAs we all know, time is money. But I think time is more important than money. Money can be earned so that we don’t have to worry about using up money, but time isn’t the case. Once gone, it will never come back.Lifetime is limited and every minute is precious. We should realize that wasting time is just like wasting lives. Therefore, we should save every minute to do useful things. Never put off what you can do today till tomorrow. Time is fair to everyone. Some treasure it while others waste it. That’s why some succeed while others fail.Everyone should make full use of time.9.How I spend my spare timeThe most important duties of middle school students are studying. But besides studying, we should also enjoy a good life in our leisure time.There are many ways of spending the spare time. My ways are as follows.First of all, I spend about half of my leisure time in listening to music. I n this way, I can thoroughly relax myself both physically and mentally; thus, I am able to study well in the future. Secondly, I consume part of my spare time by doing some exercises. Basketball is my favorite sports game. Jogging will keep me fit. Finally, reading is necessary. A good book can take me to a mysterious place where I have never been to.These are the major ways I spend my spare time. Of course, I won’t forget ”time is money”. After my spare time, I will come to study at once.10.Is it good for students to do some housework?Some people think that it is important for students to do some housework, but others don’t think so. I think that students should do some housework after school. Now many parents don’t let their children do housework, because they want their children to do well in their study. But I don’t agree with them.I don’t think that housework will occupy much of their children’s time. It can help students learn something not in the textbooks, and perhaps after some time they will be interested in it. Now many children don’t do many sports after school so that they become fatter and fatter. It is harmful for their health. Doing housework can enable them to be engaged in some sports. Finally, children are students at school but they are part of the family member at home. There is no reason for them to avoid any family responsibilities.So I think that it is important for students to do some housework.11.My dreamEveryone has his or her dream for the future. Some want to be doctors; others want to be lawyers. These people who want to be doctors and lawyers enjoy high reputation and get high salaries.But I have a different opinion. My dream isn’t for the sake of myself or my family but all the human beings. I want to become an environmentalist. Environmentalists are specialists who deal with environmental problems. Now we face with many environmental problems such as water pollution and air pollution.Certainly, if I want to be an environmentalist, I must have better understanding of the earth. I must have comprehensive knowledge. If we don’t think of this problem, the earth will not be inhabitable. From now on, I must make preparation for the future in order to realize my dream.12.Why should we keep our word?“Keeping one’s word” is that you must do something as you promise. I have known that we should keep our word since I was a child. My parents told me that I should think over when I make a promise. I have never made an empty promise. Once I make a promise, I’ll never break it. There are many reasons for this, but in general, they come down to three major ones.For one thing, people would like to make friends with those who keep their words. Those who always make excuses aren’t popular because they are not worth trusting. For another, keeping our word will bring pressure to us so that we will try our best to realize what we have promised. And the work will be more efficient. Perhaps the prime reason is that keeping one’s word is the basic principle of being a person.From the foregoing, everyone should keep his or her word. This is our duty. I am happy to say that I always keep my word.13.My view on how to face failurePeople have different attitudes to failure. Some people are discouraged by failure while others don’t behave in this way. They follow the proverb that failure is the mother of success. They will take their courage in both hands and star again and again after failure.As to me, I am for the second method. The reasons of my choice are as follows.While it is true that no one can avoid failure in his life, it doesn’t mean that the failure is frightening. After failure we should face it and find the cause of it. In this way, we can learn a lesson from it.If we do nothing but feel sad and idle all day long, we won’t be successful. We should know that without the experience of facing setbacks, we have no chance to enjoy the pleasure of success.In a word, when we face failure, we should not lose heart but face up to it instead.14.My view on videogamesSome youngsters’ views on videogames are different from that of adults, who think videogames are harmful to students. They hold this opinion because their children or grandchildren are game fans.As to me, videogames are not so harmful as they think. Teachers and parents think that the most important thing we should do is to study. That is true. But we are not only students but also children. We should have fun. The childhood is a golden time during a human’s life. After we graduate from schools we won’t have enough time and such mood to ”play”.So I think playing is necessary, and so are videogames. But I don’t mean we can spend too much time playing.15.What is a good study habit?A good study habit is the beginning of your career success. It plays an important role in your studies. However, if you ignore it, you may end up spending much time learning while accomplishing little. Whenever you take a close look at some students, you may discover the main factor that leads them to failure. What is a good study habit?First, you should draw up study schedules carefully and be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work normally assigned by you. Second, browse before you read to get a general idea of the content. Finally, make good use of the time in class. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says in class.I think cultivating a good study habit will benefit your whole life.。
