2008. 6 Recreational Activities

Abundant recreational activities are available for people to release their strain and stress, ranging from sports to online activities. There is a hot debate arguing whether they are good for the public or not, especially for college students.

As for such a question, different people hold different views. Some believe that recreation is helpful if we want to keep healthy physically and mentally. While there also sounds an opposite voice, which claims activities bring various problems. For instance, some young people become easily addicted to the virtual world online, which affects their studies badly, and may lead to worse consequences as well.

As for me, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm. They do give ue a good chance to relax and build good personal relationships with others, too. As long as we can arrange our time reasonably, they will defintely provide more benefits for us.

2008.12Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic Bags

Recently, limiting the use of disposable plastic bags has been brought to the public attention in China. No one would deny that it is a real convenience to use plastic bags in our daily life. They are applied in big supermarkets, ordinary shops, small stores and street markets. However, what would our society be like with the excessive use?

The sharp increase in using plastic bags has given rise to such problems as environmental pollution. It takes many years for plastic bags to be absorbed by soil, which blocks the drainage system and causes water pollution. What’s worse, some bags are of poor-quality, and even harmful to people’s health.

Awareness of the matter in question is one thing, but more important to us is the steps of how to cope with it. From June ist this year, the use of disposable plastic bags in supermarkets is limited strictly. Consequently, people come to take environment-friendly cloth bags and the business cost in supermarkets is cut down as well. Only in this way can we protect the environment and keep healthy.

2009.6Free Admissions to Museums?

Recently, more and more museums are open to the public free of charge. By doing so, they can attract more visitors, and offer the visitors more opportunities to explore and get easy access to world of history, culture and knowledge.

However, some people view that the practice also brings problems and concerns. They are right in a sense. For one thing, their main concern is that with more visitors, it is possible that objects exhibited can get damaged more easily. For another, it becomes a huge economic burden for museums to run as usual without any profits from the visitors.

As for me, I am absolutely in favor of this practice. The reason lies in the fact that the government should provide more opportunities for citizens to explore and experience the knowledge world. Moreover, kids and teenagers can acquire knowledge in a more vivid way in the museums. I hope all the people can share the national treasures in more free museums.
