1. Career or Family: which is more important?
When asked
about their opinion of career and family, people always respond
differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career,
while there are always other people who argue that family should be the
number one in one’s life.
It goes without any question that
career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career
can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time
will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a
means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On
the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many
people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can
escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of
belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and
desperate.
In my opinion, career and family are not in
opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that
one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice
between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.
2. Olympics and I
Dear friend,
I
have a great news to inform here. Through long efforts, Beijing has
been granted the right to host 2008 Olympic games. As a resident in
Beijing, I feel quite excited and like to share with you my happiness.
This
success means a lot more than a game to me. In the first place, this
Games will definitely promote the development of our economy. According
to a recent survey by some experts, this games will raise our GDP by
about 3%, and offer about 10,000 jobs. What’s more, our culture will be
widely recognized and accepted all over the world through the Games.
People will come over from every corner of the world, and experience
Chinese culture in every aspect. Besides, through the games, our living
environment will be greatly improved. For example, the public
transportation system will be up-dated. Moreover, it’s known that more
trees will be planted, and grassland will be considerably expanded.
My
friend, I really look forward to the coming of this great Games. As an
individual, I’m all ready to offer my help in any way I can. I also
hope to invite you all to come here, and watch the games in 2008.
Sincerely yours,xxx
3. Tourism in China
Recent
years have seen a tendency in China that tourism is growing faster.
According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban
residents travel regularly, and 28% rural residents also make their
tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are
interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.
Facing
this tendency, we can’t help exploring some underlying factors that are
responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and
opening up, Chinese people’s living standard has been greatly improved,
and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What’s more,
it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to
tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities
are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops
fast, and many scenic spots are available now.
Though there
are still some problems with tourism, I personally believe that tourism
should be playing a key role in our life. I also hope that our
government will make policies to create a better environment for
tourists.
4. Income Gap
There has been a heated
discussion over the growing income gap now. Some people hold that the
gap is natural because it reflects different contributions that
different people make in their work.. In their view, those people with
high income work hard and long. Besides, these people bring high
efficiency, and create more wealth. Accordingly, they deserve high pay.
On the other hand, there are always some people who view this
gap negatively. They believe that a lot of crimes happen as a result of
this income gap. Some people make so little from their work that they
risk taking criminal acts to get rich. In fact, experts have long found
out that most cases of crime are directly related to low income. There
is another point to back up a negative view against income gap. For
most people, income gap may destroy the satisfaction that they obtain
from work.
As anything has two sides, so has the problem of
income gap. Personally, I believe that this gap may motivate people to
compete better in job market. When this gap is growing too wide,
however, our government should make some policies to get rid of its
negative consequences.
5. Knowledge is power
As a
popular saying goes, knowledge is power. With our country developing
fast, the importance of knowledge is becoming more and more obvious to
us all.
In the very first place, with knowledge, one can
easily find jobs. It is often said that we are entering a new age of
information, and knowledge plays a key role in this age. For example,
if one wants to work in IT field, one needs to improve his knowledge
constantly. What’s more, knowledgeable people can get quick promotion
in their work. As is often the case, a person in charge of an
organization is the one who has most knowledge. In addition, more
knowledge is also needed to make our life rich and fulfilled.
Accordingly,
we must try hard to acquire as much knowledge as we can. Luckily, a lot
of means may enable us to do so. Among other things, web proves the
best and fastest way to get information.
6. Saving animals
There
is an undeniable fact that the number of animals is declining faster
than ever before. According to a recent survey made by some experts,
about 37 species disappear from our earth every year. It is obvious
that the problem has become a serious one worth our concern.
When
we explore this problem, some underlying factors emerge. In the very
first place, human beings have played a big part. With the fast
development of human society, the environment is much destroyed, and
animals lose their home. Accordingly, some species become extinct.
What’s more, people hunt animals for food and skin. A good case in
point is that the Japanese have killed a lot of whales because they
like to eat the meat. In addition, human beings are largely responsible
for the pollution of natural environment, and poison animals in many
ways.
The current problem, I believe, should be solved
immediately. First of all, our government should play a key role in
making relevant rules and protecting animals. The general public should
also be educated to value the existence of these animals on our planet.
