Mother's Kitchen
My mother's kitchen is not large but it is clean. It faces north and is next to our sitting-room. The walls of the kitchen are spotless with snow-white china-bricks. A well-designed cabinet hangs over head. All the cooking utensils, such as bowls, plates, pots and a gas stove, are polished. Knives, spoons and brushes are hanging in their places on the wall.
The kitchen is my mother's favorite place, in which she cooks delicious food for us everyday. Every morning, the savory smell from the kitchen wakes me up. I like the familiar smell from mother's kitchen, and I love my mother.

Spring Time
Spring, the loveliest and most welcome of the four seasons, has come again. The sprouts of willows are coming up. The grasses and the leaves are green and full of fresh scents. Everything has come to life again after long suffering from the cold and dreadful winter. Spring is also a season which prepares us to do our work. But some young men are apt to spend this good time in pleasure and idleness. They have no desire to study so as to widen the scope of their
knowledge during this season. It is a pity that they do not know the famous saying that the plan for the year should be made in the spring, and we should make full use of our time to prepare for the whole year.

Sports in Our Country
Tennis is the most popular sport with people in our country. School children start playing tennis when they are very young. Not only is it played in school but it is also a favorite game with workers and people in other walks of life. In fact, it has become a sort of national game.
There are other popular sports as well. For example, badminton is very popular, although it is not played as widely as tennis. Wu shu and sword play are both traditional forms of sports. Mention should be made of such ball garrets football and volleyball, in which much progress has been made.
In order to keep fit and win honor for our motherland, men and women, young and old, take an active part in sports. And our government takes effective measures to promote physical culture and build up people's health. Nowadays sports are flourishing in our
country.

Patriotism
Patriotism means the love of one's country. It makes one ready to sacrifice one's life for one's country, and to do many other deeds which can bring benefits to the people. It makes a country strong, and her history glorious. It also improves a man's character and secures for him widespread fame.
To love our country, to work so as to make her strong and rich, to support her government, to obey her laws, to pay fair taxes into her treasury, to treat our fellow citizens as we wish to be treated ourselves--this is to be a real Chinese patriot.
If the people of a country are not patriotic, the country is very weak. History tells us how some countries of an ancient times were, owing to a lack of patriotism, conquered by other people and how the people of those conquered countries were made slaves under the yoke of their victorious masters.

What I Usually Do after Class
Many students spend their after-class time in entertainment. Some go to the sports ground. Some go to the clubs. But nearly everyday after class I would sit amidst the garden plants, practicing oral English with one of my classmates or a friend from other classes.
It is good to have some entertainment after class. But I think it is more sensible to use the time to improve my oral English because, as an international-business student, the ability to present well orally will add to my success in the future.
However, our curriculum doesn't offer us enough time to practice speaking English, as there are too many lecture-based English courses and courses in Chinese. During class hours, you don't have the time to speak English, nor can you find a partner, because all the others are busy having classes.
The only solution is to practice my oral English after class, when there are both partners and time. Still, I hope the school will adjust our curriculum so that we will have more chances to practice oral English during class hours.

The Ocean Floor
The floors of the ocean contain many riches that can be used by men. Oil and some minerals already are taken from the sea. By using nuclear energy, we can remove the salt from ocean water, which can then be turned into fresh water.
Food from farms under the sea is a possibility in the future. Food grown in the sea could help to solve the problem of many of the world's people who go hungry every day.
About 10-- 15% of the world's people do not have enough food.
Some scientists believe that some day the sea will be used to make electric power.
This would help to meet the need for more power for the world's industries. The decreasing supply of coal, oil and gasoline, shows that the need to find new kinds of power is urgent.

My Idea of Becoming a Teacher in the Future
Most students want to become a business person, some want to work in a government department, and only a few want to be a teacher. I'm one of the few. I think teaching is a noble job and it is beneficial, too.
China is now developing her economy, which cannot be achieved without a solid foundation of science and technology. Without education, advanced science and technology is out of the question. It's safe to say that teachers play a decisive role in the country's economic development. Besides the importance of their job, China's teachers enjoy a lot of special benefits. The job is secure, salaries are guaranteed and there are two vacations in a year, of which people in other occupations are-often jealous. One is a month long and the other lasts two months. It's glorious to do what the country most needs us to do. And personally I like the profession of teaching.

TV: A Good Thing or a Bad Thing?
Nowadays -IV has gotten into nearly every person's life. Most people spend their spare time watching TV programs. People like doing this because TV is a good thing in many respects.
First, TV is a good source of information. News programs and commercials timely and completely provide information about world affairs, domestic problems, sports events and business developments. Second, TV is an effective tool of education.
Millions of students take the same TV lecture at the same time. No
school can afford such a large classroom. Third, TV is a convenient means of entertainment. People can view plays, movies and art shows without taking the trouble of going to the theatre.
Information, education and entertainment are so important that TV has become part of people's lives. It is a really good thing today. However, if we further improve the quality of programs and eliminate sex and violence from the screen, it will be an even better thing tomorrow.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Taking a Part-time Job
Nowadays, many college students have a part-time job. They work in their spare time in bars, restaurants, or at their client's home as a tutor. The upside of this is that it can make them more independent. The downside is that it is harmful to their study and their mind.
Traditionally, Chinese parents take care of everything for their children until they get married, which makes the young too dependent. However, working off campus takes a lot of time from
their studies. Especially for us language students, basic language skills demand time-consuming practice. Working more at a job means working less at school.
More over, a bulging purse can easily turn one from knowledge learning to the pursuit of money.。
