With rapid spreading of western cultures, there is a growing number of Chinese people prefer western holidays to traditional ones. When Christmas or Valentine Day comes, youngsters flood into bars, restaurants, or department stores to celebrate these festivals, while they know little about Chinese traditional festivals.
The reason behind such kind social phenomenon is obvious: in a society dominated by mass media and consumerism, festivals and holidays from abroad are labeled as fashionable, new and unique, while traditional ones are something out of date and old. Young people all over the world have regarded western life style especially the life depicted in Hollywood films as their ultimate goal of life. As a consequence it is no wonder that Chinese young people have much more passion on Christmas than China’s Spring Festival.
We should think about the influence of such a social phenomenon carefully. As far as I am concerned, it is obvious that the wide spread and recognition of western holidays is definitely doing harm to our traditional value. If we don’t take some measures right now, some day in future, Chinese cultural heritage may be alien to our offspring. It is high time for the government and all people to take some action to protect our traditional culture.
From the picture given above,we can observe that there are two young men using different ways to show admiration towards their role model.By writing Beckham on his face,the man on the left picture expresses his intense enthusiasm for ，to make himself resemble his idol,the man on the right picture spends 300 RMB making a Beckhams hairstyle.
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that many adolescents admire their role models in an excessive and blind way.Quite a few reasons can account for this: for one thing,with the mass media spreading the positive image of superstars,young people can hardly resist the charm of them.They regard superstars as their examples and desire to be people like them.For another,youngsters craze for superstars can also be attributed to the influence of the force ofgroup dynamics :when members of their social networks show great enthusiasm for some idols,young people are so easily influenced by their friends or classmates and then imitate the behavior they see.This could be a subtle form of peer pressure.
We cannot draw an absolute conclusion whether idol-worship is good or bad.Simply imitating role models dresses or behaviors,youngsters may lose themselves and it will definitely interfere with their personal life or studies.However，when learning idols diligence,spirit and ambitions,young people can transform their worship towards idols into the passion for life,the stimulus to success and the driving force of struggling.Hence,whether idol worship is positive or negative is up to youngsters themselves.
Campus Activities
Campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges.These activities range from academie to recreational, such as academic reports, speech contests, poet’s club, painting clubs, singing and dancing groups, etc.
These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all, they play a positive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often buried in textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the various activities provide opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds. In addition, the activities also serve students living in the "ivory tower" more chances to get in touch with society. From these activities, the participants have to leave the classroom and get to know the society.
All these offer an important means for students to broaden their horizons. By participating in campus activities, they have fulfilled university life and in turn help campus activities to grow and flourish.
The Internet
In the era of information and technology, the Internet plays an important role in our society. However, people’s opinions are still divided on this point. Those who are in favor of the Internet claim that it has a lot of advantages. Firstly, information searching is no longer a tough job with the help of all kinds of search engines. Secondly, we can contact friends or business partners via e-mails or software such as Internet Meeting and Yahoo Messenger.
Those who are opposed to the Internet hold that its disadvantages are numerous. In the first place, using the Internet costs considerable time, money and energy, especially for those with poor self-control. In the second place, increasing young people are indulged in online games and unhealthy information, which are extremely harmful to their development.
In my opinion, its pros outweigh the cons. The past twenty years have witnessed the fast development of the Internet along with the national economy. A brighter future is awaiting us if we make good use of the Internet.
When we go to school，we are taught that life is not always going well，we will meet all kinds of difficulties。 Everyone hears the words，but when they meet difficulties，it is hard for them to be OK with it，they feel the life is hopeless，just as hearing is easy，while taking action is another thing。
当我们上学的时候，我们就被教育生活并不总是一帆风顺，我们会遇见各种各样的困难。每个人都听过这些话，但是当遇到困难时，对于他们来说是很难接受的，觉得生活无望，就如说起来是一回事，做起来是另一回事。
Once a famous business person said that the one who faced the failure and stood up，he or she will be successful。 I absolutely believe it，we are in front of so many accidents，we need to face the setback and learn from it，every setback is a test for us，only the one who passes the test can succeed。
曾经一位出名的生意人说，谁面对困难，振作起来，他或她就能成功。我深信此话，我们面对很多的意外，需要面对挫折，从中学会东西，每一次的挫折就是一次考验，只有通过考验的人能成功。
Such as when we feel it hard to study，then give up，how can we make progress。 Life teaches us lesson every minute，the adverse situation is a good chance to upgrade ourselves。
比如我们感到学习困难时，就放弃，怎么能进步呢。生活时时刻刻都在教会我们东西，困境是升级自身的好机会。
A Letter to the University President about the Library Service on the Campus
Dear Mr.President,
I am writing to express my concern over the library service on the campus.
As a major in English,I find that most of the books in English in the library are outdated.So far,I have not come across a single book published after 1995.As a result,we fail to get the latest information of academic development both at home and abroad.
In addition,the light in the reading room is far from bright,which does harm to our eyes.Worse still,there is no air瞔onditioning and we are sweating heavily while reading.
Last but not least,the newly瞕eveloped electronic information system does not work well and needs further improvement.A great number of books should have been listed in the system.
There is no denying that the library has helped us a lot.But it is in urgent need of improvement.When improved,the library is certain to provide much more help with our study.
Thank you for your time.I am looking forward to your reply.
My View on the Post-graduate Craze
Every year,million of college students will sit in for the post-graduate entrance and more students have regarded the pursuing of a master degree as an indispensable part of their education.What is to account for their enthusiasm for a post-graduate diploma?
First,it is the demand of the time.In an age of knowledge updating and information explosion,what you have learned in college can hardly meet the demand of society.Talents of high quality who are equipped with the latest knowledge and skill will be needed more than ever.That is why many students will further their studies.
Second,we all recognize that the more education you have,the more likely you are to with those without a master degree,masters will enjoy more preferential treatment,for example,better salaries,more opportunities for promotion and training.A post-graduate degree can guarantee a more promising career.
Last but not least,with the graduation of a large number of college students,competition for jobs becomes more and more way to gain some advantage over others is to have a higher degree.
No wonder millions of students will consider pursuing a post-graduate degree.
Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Something I admire about the Western Culture.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below.
Students mental health has been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Indeed, it is widely accepted that it has gained growing popularity among persons in all walks of life. There is a general discussion today about the issue of disorder in brains.
Obviously, it is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent problems. Authorities in universities play a critical role in the situation. To begin with, schools, such as colleges or universities, can provide chances for the young men to ease their attention. Whats more, some are physically strong, but psychological problems are able to bring potential threats. Teaches may have a chance to find them in advance. Besides, specialists in this field are to be required to make full preparation for cases in time. Facing the crisis, experts can deal with it in a professional way, which means they have more or better opportunities to save us than others.
宿舍生活
On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory is disturbed in one way or another.
As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.
There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life-style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.
In conclusion, we should try our best to build harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.
