E-reading Cannot Be Simplified
In this cartoon,a boy is talking with his mother about his teacher's reading assignment; whereas,he seems to have some misconceptions about e-reading. From my perspective, e-reading is good but it cannot be simplified as reading Facebook and text messages online.
For one thing,with the advent of the smart phone, e-reading has enjoyed increasing popularity among young people in recent years. Despite the fact that e-reading takes up so much time we spend on traditional reading, I don't think it's a bad thing considering that e-reading offers us more chances to read at least. For another. however, it should be clarified that e-reading means reading books or articles in electronic form, which cannot be confined to reading text messages or browsing social networks such as Facebook. But I am regretful to find some young people immersing themselves in social networks sometimes.
Therefore, in the era of the Internet, we must be well aware of what e-reading truly means and what is really worth our time and attention.

The Key to Becoming an Elite
Different people hold quite different opinions about the key to becoming a talented person. Many people assert that personal abilities count for much. They maintain such an opinion because a lot of people stand out in their peers for their remarkable capacities. However, others believe that opportunities play a vital role in one's success, which helps to explain why some people become prominent while others with similar talent are left behind.
As far as I’m concerned,personal abilities are much more important than opportunities for a person to become an elite. First, there are various chances in the world but only those who are adequately prepared can make good use of them and achieve their goals. Second, without a ready mind, golden opportunities may slip through one's fingers. Last but not least, whether there are favorable opportunities or not, what we should do is to learn and improve ourselves constantly.
In a word, we can take advantage of opportunities to achieve success but never can they be a precondition for success. Comparatively speaking, Personal abilities are more important for a person to become an elite.

Suppose you plan to start your own business after graduating from college, what business do you want to start and how to run it?
参考范文
Running a Book-café
It is a common belief that college students should hunt for a good job once they graduate from college. Those who get offers from well-known companies are always seen as lucky dogs with a bright future. However, starting my own business has always been my dream and what I want to do most is to run a book-café.
It is common to find cafés in a big city. Maybe nowadays you can read some magazines in a café, but it is still too far away from a real "book- café". Once I run a book- café, I would try to collect various kinds of books and put them on big shelves where customers can easily reach.
They could always find something they are interested in and spend their time reading and enjoying coffee as well.What's more, I will also ask for advice from different customers about their favorites and adjust to their needs anytime.
All in all, I do need to get well prepared. Faced with unknown challenges, I am audacious enough to embark on a perilous journey

Developing Electric Cars
The electric car is an inspiring invention. Currently, the government is attaching more and more importance to the development of electric cars.
It is not hard for us to find the reasons why priority is given to electric cars. The primary reason, I think, lies in the fact that electric cars can save nonrenewable gasoline, which will somewhat lessen the pressure of energy crisis. The second reason is that electric cars also contribute to environmental protection if we take into consideration the fact that they release no fumes.
Given that consumers are still in favor of cars powered by gasoline, the government should take measures to promote the development and use of electric cars. The government can invest more money in the development of electric cars. In addition, the publicity and education of environmental protection should be strengthened to enhance people’s awareness of environmental protection.
