1 College—A New ExperienceLiving at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren’t around to say, ―No, you’re not going out tonight‖ or ―Did you finish your homework?‖ Everything I do has to be my decisio n, and that gives me the responsibility of handling my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no clue about any banks around here or where they were located. I went to the bank and made decisions for myself—whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a MASTER card.Friendly people: that’s another aspect I like about college. On my first day (and even now) people were nice to me. I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York and –even though I’d been here before—I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in, not knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. Some upperclassmen saw me and asked, ―Are you a new student?‖ When they found out I was looking for my dormitory, one said, ―Oh,just follow us; that’s where we’re going.‖ Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.Finally—to add to my likes of college—I love having Saturdays off. Also, I love to sleep in, something I couldn’t do in high school.2 The Role of Migrant WorkersMigrant workers have made a great contribution to the prosperity of cities. They leave their home-land for better chances. Some want to change their destiny, some want to make a fortune. Whatever the purposes they cherished when millions of them streamed into big cities, they have promoted the development of cities.Most of the migrant workers are hard working and unafraid of hardships. They take up the dirtiest, the most strenuous or dangerous jobs which city laborers are unwilling to do. With lots of building they have set up and streets they have kept clean, they have helped modernize and beautify cities. Not only have they become the main work force in the construction sector, they also have helped liberate city women from heavy housework chores by taking care of the babies, cleaning houses or providing any other services citizens need.Although some of the citizens complain about the increasing number of the problems such as theft, robbery a few of migrant workers have committed, most of the citizens agree that their contribution is obvious, and with better management, their role in the construction of cities will definitely be greater.3 My Idea on How for Beijing to Prepare the 2008 World Olympic GamesAs a young student (cadre, engineer, technician), I am an active citizen in greeting the 2008 World Olympic Games. As its host, Beijing is now busy in propagating for its advent.Since it is the first time for Beijing to host such a world gathering, we are naturallyshort of experience. And since it involves so many aspects, the whole nation should be mobilized to participate in actively.In facing the task, I have got some suggestions for its success: 1. Tours should be organized to go over the places such games have been held before to learn their positive experience; 2. Architectural qualities and financial contributions should be stressed to promote its success; 3. Careful calculations of costs and expenditures has to be done so as to avoid waste. Though I am just a small potato, I wish my suggestion would win t due attention from the authorities concerned .4 What Would Happen if No Attention Paid to The Environmental Protection With the development of our society, people want more convenience and comfort. Some European countries such as Switzerland and Sweden can be taken as good examples.However, our environment has been seriously polluted. Many factories or farmlands not only polluted themselves but also bring about pollution to the whole society. Sewage water, poisonous gases and waste mineral material are now destroying our environment.Facing the situation, I think, we must be aware of the long-lasting consequences of our actions. Strict laws must be imposed to punish those who pollute the environment. What is more important is for everybody to realize that only when we have a clean environment can we develop our economy in a healthy and sustainable manner for the future generations.5 Women Should Be Let To Play A More Important Role In Our State Affairs Women's social status has greatly changed since liberation. In spite of this, there still exists inequality between men and women in many ways. For example, we have many more men leaders in our government organs, factories and schools. No real equality can also be seen in the family. It is still often heard, "after all, women are women, they are not comparable to men".To win real equality, we should do at least the following: First, let all girls go to school and receive regular education. Second, equal pay for equal work must be made a law and principle to obey. Third, up-bringing children should be regarded as a contribution to the whole society. Last of all women scholars and political leaders should be let to play more decisive roles6 Fast FoodFast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time.The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal--saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. You just go into a fast food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready in no time. You can either eat it there or take it away. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean and comfortableenvironment of fast food restaurants, the excellent ervice, and the guaranteed quality of food.However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and is low in nutritional value. Thus, doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible. Although cooking at home is time-consuming and the following washing-up tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs. Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while.7 Graduates Face Many Barriers in Job HuntingIt is graduation time again. Whether joining the social workforce or pursuing advanced studies, about four million Chinese graduates will soon turn a new page in their lives. Still, no matter what, campus life will remain deeply etched on the minds of China's former students. What lies ahead for the country's graduates?Statistics released by relevant departments of China show that in 2006, graduates from all Chinese colleges and universities numbered 4.13 million, up 750,000 from 2005 with a growth rate of roughly 22%. Statistics released by relevant departments of China show that the growth rate of graduates from 2005 to 2006 is roughly 22%. Hence, the employment tension further intensifies. Meanwhile, various intangible barriers exist in social relations, regional restriction, permanent residency and university's reputation have made the graduates' job-hunting process tougher.Some analyze that against the backdrop of intensified employment tension for university graduates, needy students from rural and urban areas usually find themselves in relatively inferior positions.Some graduates realize that in order to get a job, they have to sign some "unfair treaties" that promise not to take the postgraduate exam or leave the company within several years, or they have to pay 5,000 Yuan for breaching the contract. Some recruiters even declare openly that they only need students from famous universities, so graduates from other schools are not even entitled to apply.Currently the contradiction in China's higher education has transferred from entering to leaving a university and from the difficulty in enrollment to employment after graduation. It has become a common phenomenon that "graduates become jobless". Should this problem not be tackled rightly, the employment issue would turn into a new factor that causes social instability.。
