Part I Writing

With the development of the society, people now are more likely to assert their own rights. If their interests are harmed, they will get angry and violent. Is it wise to do this? No doubt, it is not. Admittedly, everyone has his right to defend his own interests. However, it is not wise to show your anger when someone does something wrong to you.

There are numerous examples to illustrate this point. For instance, dormmates in college are supposed to share the responsibility of cleaning the dormitory. You shouldn’t get angry at your dormmate who occasionally doesn’t do his part in cleaning the dorm. Once or twice, you have to do the cleaning in his place. You may feel angry inside, but it’s wise not to pour your anger to him. It’s more sensible for you to talk it out with him and know reasons why he failed to do his duty. Maybe the reasons are understandable. Then you two can negotiate the best schedule to clean the dorm.

All in all, it’s not wise to get mad at someone even if he seemingly harms you in some sense. It’s more desirable for you to know the reasons behind his behavior, and thus maintain a healthy friendship with him.

2. W: Sue will turn 19 this Friday. It seems that she hasn’t found herself in handling her life in college. M: You said it. She tends to act in an irresponsible way, playing online games nonstop, absent in class meetings, and failing to hand in homework on time.

Conversation One

W: I always commute to work by subway. It’s fast and convenient. But, some passengers sometimes are really annoying.

M: Same here! There’re general rules for people to behave properly while taking subway. But, there’re some unspoken rules for taking the subway. Seems people don’t usually heed those rules.

W: Yes, passengers are good when it comes to follow the written and published rules. But, they may violate those unspoken rules, perhaps because they are not so obvious and are very easy to be ignored.

M: Say, passengers are not supposed to make noise during the morning rush hour. At that time, we’re tired and are trying hard to get prepared for work psychologically. What we need now is a moment’s peace in the subway. But, …….

W: But, some people may try every means to break the peace by listening to loud music on their phone or mp3 player, or shouting on their phone to reschedule their appointments at work.

M: Yes, they’re making a show of their rudeness. The result is that everyone around will hate them and plot their death secretly.

W: They deserve it. By the way, it’s not proper to hug a pole in the subway on usual occasions. You can imagine, that’ll be a funny picture if one’s doing it in a public place.

M: Definitely he will appear to be ridiculous. But, it’s advisable for a sensible man to stand properly, with only one hand on the pole. Of course, it’s better when he chooses to wear a pair of gloves.

W: Yes, we don’t know who else has held the pole before. It’s necessary for one to carry hand sanitizer with him or her when taking the public transportation.

M: That’s a good tip. Another tip may be that you should be kind to the pregnant, elderly, or disabled riders.

W: It’s very sweet of you to mention this. They get up so early in the morning to take so crowded a subway. They must have had something urgent to handle. We should take the initiative to give up our
