Topic 1: My View on Driving Restrictions in Big Cities
Traffic jams are very commonly-seen in big cities, and a big headache for the citizens. In rush hours, endless cars get stuck on the road and the whole city is like a huge parking lot. The driving restrictions, therefore are put forward to alleviate the traffic problems in big cities.
By implementing driving restrictions, around half of the private cars can be reduced from the road, which will help decrease the possibility of traffic jams. I believe that the driving restriction can be effective, but it is not the only way out. If the car ownership is increasing continuously, this policy will have limited effects.
So the government should look at other areas to address the traffic problem, including reasonable road design, and encouragement
of the public using public transport system.
Topic 2: The Significance of Waste Sorting
People are producing waste every day, which is a huge burden on the planet's habitat. Some waste is not degradable naturally, which will exist forever, but some waste can be
traditional media. It is fast and efficient, and people can get relevant information immediately. Second, message sent by the microblog can reach a large number of people, who can interact with the microblog owners by leaving message in it. This kind of interaction is appealing especially when the owner is a famous figure.
The microblog is very useful and adds lots of color into the virtual world. Regulated properly, the microblog can be a very interesting platform for people to share opinions and make friends.
Topic 4: How to Improve Students' Physical Well-being?
Recently, there have been some reports on freshmen getting military training.
But the focus is on the negative side. Some students fainted because they couldn't stand the training. In the final analysis, this results from the poor physical well-being of the students.
Two factors can be found out to explain this. Firstly, students have been preoccupied with their study in high school, as the goal of getting admitted by a university is just too huge. So they could not spend time in physical exercise.
Secondly, students are not aware of the fact that they are not as strong as they think. They believe that they are still young and it's not necessary to worry about their health condition. Now it is high time that students improved their physical well-being by doing more exercise and adopting healthy living styles.
Topic 5: First-tier City or Second-tier City?
When considering where to work, graduates are often in a dilemma of choosing between the first-tier city and the second-tier city. It is generally thought that a first-tier city is a wise choice.
It goes almost without saying that there are more job opportunities in mega-cities,
which offer higher salaries as well. In addition, life is more colorful in that first-tier cities provide more choices of products and services. However, people are shifting their focus to second-tier cities. First, the living costs are much lower, which makes up for the lower salaries. Second, with smaller population and less pollution, second-tier cities offer more comfortable environment.
For my part, I think a first-tier city will suit me better,
despite of its crowdedness and high living costs. The promising career development and colorful life there have a great fascination for me.
