Money
Money is what everybody desires.It can be used to buy food,clothes,books,car,furniture and many other things people need or want.
Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life.With money,they can go wherever they please and do whatever they want.With money,they can buy a fine house to live in,fashionable clothes to put on,and a nice car do drive.And with money,they can employ attendants to serve them.In a word,money can make people comfortable and bring them happiness.
However,money is also the source of all crimes and brings people misery.Since money is so tempting,quite a few people are attracted by it and begin to go astray.By hook or by crook,they try to make money.To get more money,they gamble,steal,rob or do many other evil things,for"money makes the mare go".As a result,money leads them to jail or even to the execution grounds.Of course money is useful and desirable,yet we should make money in proper way and spend our money on proper things.
The Value of time
A proverb says,"time is money"But I think time is even more precious than money.Why? Because when money is spent,we can earn it back.However,when time is gone,it will never return.This is the reason why we must value our time.
It goes without saying that the time at our disposal is unusually limited.Hence,even an hour is extremely precious.We should make full use of our time to do useful things.As students,we must make great efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve the society and our nation in the future.
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time.They spend their precious time smoking,drinking,and gambling.They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.
In a word,we should get into the good habit of saving time.Do not put off what can be done today until ziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us on to the road of poverty.
Celebrating Western Festivals
Nowadays more and more college students are celebrating Western festivals,such as Christmas Day,Thanksgiving Day,etc.When a popular Western festival is around the corner.you may feel the atmosphere of joy and fun everywhere on campus.
There are many factors accounting for this phenomenon.For one thing,with the rapid development of science and technology ,the world has become a global village and international communication has been more frequent than before.And people like college students stand more chances to have a close contact with foreign cultures and festivals.For another,most Western festival have been highly commercialized and are very appealing ,especially to the young people.
Undoubtedly this will enhance the cultural exchanges between the east and the wes

t.On the other hand,when engaged in celebrating various Western festivals all the year around, many Chinese students may forget their own cultural traditions.
Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
There has always been a heated discussion about the necessary of a test of spoken English.Some think that it is unnecessary to hold it on the grounds that they will have little or no chance to talk face to face with foreigners.
Others hold the opposite opinion ,for an we know,the purpose of the test of spoken English is to examine the learner's ability to use the language as a tool of communication.Currently,little emphasis is laid on the teaching and learning of oral English.As a result,most of English learners have become dumb learners who cannot and even dare not open their mouth in the presence of foreigners even after passing the written test.
Since China is opening wider and wider to the outside world,there has been an ever increaseing exchange of information with other countries,in which spoken English is almost a must.Because of all this,I think it is absolutely necessary to hold the test of spoken English.
Air Pollution
Air pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world,A great deal of energy is needed to run the factories of modern industrial nations.Automobile,trains,planes and busses need energy ,too.Nearly all of this energy is produced by burning fuels. The burning produces wastes ,some of which remain in the air,causing air pollution.
Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in big industrial areas and densely-populated cities.They are studying new ways of generating electricity that may be less damaging to be environment.In the meantime,many power plants are being modernized to give off less polluted material.Also,engineers try to design and locate new power plants to do minimum damage to the environment.
However,it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have a "clean"world.Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air pollution.There indeed seems to be no end to tasks that environmentalists will be requited to do.People will continually find new ways to control pollution.
