●The Internet—A Blessing or Curse？●Nowadays college students often use the Internet for study，shopping，entertainment，and many other things. Some people say that the Internet facilitates students’ lives，but others worry that it might affect students’study. In my opinion，the Internet is good for college students when it is used appropriately.●The Internet is good for college students. First，students can collect many kinds ofinformation via the Internet. (linkage) When students find something interesting in the book，but their teacher cannot give them more details or answer all their questions in class，they can search the Internet after class to find the details or answers by themselves.Second，the Internet keeps students updated with what is happening all over the world.(linkage) Just by browsing the web-page，students can read a lot of news. They can also type on some key words to search and follow any affair on the Internet. They don’t have to search piles of newspapers and thus save much time for study.●In one word，the Internet facilitates students’lives when it is used reasonably. Nowmore and more college students are becoming aware of the convenience and the importance of using the Internet.●Is it wise to buy or borrow books?●In the past, people used to hold a kind of thought that people would certainly fail to reada book effectively unless it was borrowed. Although a lot of people want to borrow thebooks they like from their friends or public libraries, I prefer buying a book to borrowing one.●Buying books has some advantages. Firstly, you needn’t care about the deadline. You areenjoying the book, especially some reference books, because you can certainly keep the book. Whenever you want to read it, you can get it from your bookshelf. Secondly, if you borrow some books from the public libraries and your friends, you aren’t allowed to write on the books. You have to spend a lot of time in copying down the information which you need in your own note book. In addition, if you unfortunately make some mistakes during copying, these mistakes may mislead you. Finally, the public libraries are open to all people, but the books in library are limited. If different readers want to borrow the same book at the same time, some of the readers can’t get the book until other readers return the book to the library. As a result, some of the readers have to spend time in waiting for two or three weeks.●All in all, in my opinion, nowadays people can easily buy (some) books from book stores.I consider that buying books is much more convenient than borrowing books.●Will Electronic Dictionaries Kill Printed Dictionaries●Many people today prefer to use electronic dictionaries rather than printed ones, becauseelectronic dictionaries are much lighter and smaller and easier to be taken everywhere.Some people worry that printed dictionaries may disappear one day. But I believe that electronic dictionaries will not kill printed ones.●First, printed dictionaries are much cheaper than the electronic ones. Many students, whouse dictionaries most often, can hardly afford an expensive electronic dictionary.Therefore, the printed ones are exactly what they need. Second, scholars prefer printeddictionaries to electronic ones. Holding a thick, heavy dictionary is what a teacher used to do, and I believe that they will like to keep this habit. Third, only the printed dictionaries can be colleted into libraries or be put on our private bookshelves. We may use an electronic dictionary very often, but we will never collect it, since it's designed to be used, not to be collected.●Of course electronic dictionaries will be more popular in the future, because they arereally convenient. But the printed ones are still needed and will not be replaced. The two kinds of dictionaries are just complementary to each other.Should Universities Give Priority to Practical Courses for Students●Because of the demands in the job market, students with "hot" degrees such ascomputer science or finance are more likely to get a job than students with a "cold"degree like geography. Some people say that universities should give priority to practical courses for students. But I think that traditional courses are equally important and universities should not give priority to practical courses.First, both practical and traditional courses are needed in our country. Students who do well in different courses can help to develop different aspects of our country after their graduation. For example, our society needs not only people who can help to develop economy and technology, but also people who can contribute themselves to literature and education. Second, if universities give priority to practical courses, more students will choose those "hot" degrees. When these students graduate, they will have to fight harder for a job because there will be too many applicants with the same degrees. This will in turn cause an imbalance of supply and demand in the job market.In one word, both practical courses and traditional courses are important, and universities should not give priority to either side.●●Should We Help Strangers?●We used to appreciate those who like to help strangers. But nowadays people tend to bevery cautious of strangers, because they are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring them trouble. In my opinion, we should try our best to help others in a reasonable way.We should try to help others, no matter they are strangers or not. First, helping others is a virtue, and it will make our society more harmonious. Just imagine what a terrible world it would be if everyone was coldhearted! Second, to some extent, helping others is helping oneself. We may come across some trouble and need others' help some day. If everyone turns a blind eye to our trouble and turns a deaf ear to our appeal for aid just because we are strangers to them, what shall we do at that time? Therefore, we should be glad to help others.However, helping others may sometimes bring us trouble or even put us in danger.So when we are helping others, we should also protect ourselves and offer our help in an appropriate way. For example, to help someone who was robbed, calling the police is a much wiser way than chasing the robbers alone.●My Advice to the Undergraduates●●Because of the severe competition in the job market, it's quite difficult to get a decent jobfor a college graduate. Many college students complain that graduation means the coming of unemployment. To avoid this dilemma, I have some advice to the undergraduates.To avoid unemployment after graduation, the undergraduates have to prepare themselves for the job-hunting long before their graduation. First, study as hard as you can. Surely an applicant with more high marks in his resume will be more likely to get a job. And a hard-working student can acquire more knowledge and pass interviews easily.Second, get a part-time job which is related to the job you want to get in the future. Many college students like to find a part-time job, but most of them do this only for pocket money. Can this part-time job be written into your resume as a related job experience?Can this part-time job bring you new friends who are doing the very kind of job you want to do after graduation? Think it over and make full use of your part-time job.If the undergraduates prepare themselves well for the job-hunting, they ill have more chances to find a good job after graduation.●Will Credit Cards Bring Harm to the Students?●Recently, in order to extend business to university campus, some banks offer credit cardsto college students. Many people worry that credit cards may do harm to students, while others don't think so. In my opinion, credit cards are good for students if they are used appropriately.First, when a student uses credit cards, he needn't bring much cash with him every day. And the less cash he brings, the less he needs to worry about being stolen. Second, using credit cards can minimize the chances of receiving forged notes. Students are not quite good at distinguishing forged notes, and thus often become victims of coiners. If they use credit cards, it will be very possible for them to avoid receiving forged notes because they don't need to get the changes. Third, using credit cards can help students to know more about "credit". If they don't repay their credit account in time, they will have to pay more interests and what's worse, they will get a bad credit record which will bring inconvenience to them in the future.Therefore, I believe that credit cards will not bring harm to students if used reasonably.●How to Keep Psychologically Healthy?●Nowadays more and more people are concerned about mental health issue. It is reportedthat the number of people committing suicide is on the rise. Many of them committed suicide just because of some little frustration such as failing an exam. If they had paid more attention to their mental health, they might not have reacted in such an extreme way.How to keep ourselves psychologically healthy? First, we should adjust ourselves to the new conditions. When we go to a university as freshmen, or go to work in a strange city, we may become nervous because everything is so unfamiliar. The only way out is to adjust ourselves to the new conditions and shake off the anxiety quickly. Second, we should know our-selves well and admit that we are just ordinary people. Knowing that ordinary people may not be good at everything, we can easily accept some small failures in our lives. Third, we should try to share our feelings with friends. By doing this, we are assured that any difficulty can be solved since we are not alone.It is very important for us to be psychologically healthy, and we should pay more attention to our mental health.●Is Dieting Good or Bad?●In order to keep a slim body and to be more attractive in appearance, many people,especially girls, would like to lose weight by eating less. Some people worry that dieting is bad for our health, while others don't agree. In my opinion, dieting is not good for most people.First, dieting is harmful to people's health. It has been proved that if one begins to eat less to keep slim, he or she will be much weaker than those who don't. Young people's bowels must work in an orderly way everyday. If a 20-year-old girl eats less than what her body needs, her metabolism will slow down because there is not so much food to be digested each day. As a result, this young girl will become both physically and mentally slow as a 40-year-old one. How terrible it is! Second, dieting may affect our lives. In this modern society, people need to be very energetic to face severe competitions in their study or work. Dieting will surely reduce their energy and in turn affect their lives badly.In conclusion, I believe that dieting is not advisable for most people, except for those who are told to do so by doctors.My Ideas of Cracking down on Poisonous FoodRecently there are a lot of news about poisonous food, such as tainted milk powder, illegal food additives, and illegal cooking oil, which do great harm to people's health. The news has aroused much panic among people, and it's high time that we took measures to crack down on poisonous food.To crack down on poisonous food, I have some ideas to offer. First, the government should make laws to forbid the making of poisonous food. Manufacturers who are caught making these kinds of food should be punished severely, and factories in which these kinds of food are produced should be closed down. Second, food manufacturers must be well informed that they should produce safe food as food safety is their first priority in business. Third, people should be more cautious. When you are shopping food, please remember that natural food is usually safer, better and cheaper than artificial food. And if you think that some brands of food may be poisonous, complain to the related department without hesitation.In one word, only when both the government and citizens take some measures can poisonous food be cracked down onWork as a Part of Life●Some people regard work as the goal of life and spare no pains to pursue a fulfillingcareer. Others regard work as a means to achieve the value of life, emphasizing the meaning and significance of life itself. I think work is just a part of one’s life. To work means to live, and to live must involves work.●First, when one works, he also lives. There is not a period of time when one is onlyworking but not living. Therefore when one works hard and feels happy about his achievements, he is also living fruitfully. There is no need to say that he just “lives to work”. Second, it is impossible to imagine a life without work. Marx once said that work is the basic need of the human race. Work is not only a breadwinning process, but is also a process of exploring the unknown world, creating beauty, providing help, expressing love, friendship and care. Anyone would hate a life without work, and I think only those whowork well enjoy their life best.●To conclude, I am firmly convinced’that work is a part of life. So enjoy your work, forwhen you make progress and have fun in your work, you are also enjoying your life.●Dear Ann,I heard that you are planning to go sightseeing in China, and I want to recommendyou a good place.

I know your feelingbecause 2 years ago I lost my grandfather, and I was very sad at that time. Please pull yourself together and try to be strong. Your grandmother knew you loved her very much and that will be enough. She will rest in peace.●Dear Danny,I just heard that you had gained admittance to Tsinghua University as a graduatestudent. How happy I am to hear that! I know that it's your dream to go to Tsinghua University for further study. You are always studying so hard that I believe your dream will come true one day. Congratulations to you!●Dear Mike,What a happy day I have had last Saturday in your home! You and your family were most kind to me and gave me such warm welcomes. The food made by your mother was so delicious that I can hardly forget it. Thank you so much for having invited me! And please remember me to your family!Thanks a lot for trusting me and asking me to be your Chinese tutor! But as you know, I am a senior student and must finish all courses and papers this term. I am so busy with my courses and papers that I cannot help you. I am sorry for that! I can recommend you a good Chinese tutor if you need.I heard that you were thinking of buying a gift to your mother for the coming Mother's Day, and I would like to recommend a good book to you. Letters to Mum is a book in which 100 sons' and daughters' letters to their mothers are collected. These letters are so moving that I believe your mother will like to read them very much.●I am sorry that I have some complaint to make. My dorm light has gone wrong since lastMonday, and I have told the dorm keeper several times. However, nobody has come to repair the light by now.
