Should

famous

Chinese

sites

of

historical

interest

charge

higher fees during peak travel seasons?

Nowadays

，

with

the

rapid

development

of

tourism

industry,

it

has become popular for quite some people to travel at vacation

after a long period of heavy load of working. They come to some

historical

sites

to

relax

themselves.

At

the

same

time,

holiday

is

the

busiest

travel

times

of

the

year.

Generally

speaking,

the

famous Chinese sites of historical interest will charge higher

fees

during

the

time.

Recently,

a

controversial

viewpoint

towards historic sites' higher charge that whether such action

will hurt citizen's sentiment. My opinion is that it's worth

charging higher fees.

First

of all,

I

firmly

believe

that

it

is

necessary

to

charge

higher

fees.

People

could

understand

the

meaning

of

life

and

the

permanent

value

from

these

measures,

then

they

will

change

their

thinking style of study and work. Historical sites let people

realize death is not far away and we should not waste our life.

Moreover, when parents take their children to the historic

interest, the children can learn knowledge of history rather

than

just

playing

there.

At

the

same

time

they

receive

education.

In fact

，

I think it is meaningful to go to Chinese sites of

historical interest than to the playground.

Last

but

not

least,

historical

sites'

complete

preservation

needs a large amount of money. In order to make our historical

sites exist forever, we should pay higher fees.

To sum up, it's no doubt that historical sites charge higher

fees

in tourism season. We should undertake the responsibility of

protecting historical sites and our environment, meanwhile we

should be aware that the meaning of life is not from birth to

death but making contribution to society.

：

Are dialects just as acceptable in public places?

范文一

China’s

State

Administration

of

Radio

Film

and

Television

(SARFT) recently issued a notice banning domestic radio and TV

stations from translating foreign radio and TV programmes into

any

local

dialect.

The

notice

said

that

such

dialect

translation

contradicts the national initiative to promote Putonghua, or

Mandarin,

around

the

country.

Foreign

programmes

that

have

been

translated into dialects must be removed from television and

radio

immediately.

The

notice

evoked

a

mixed

response

from

experts and audio and video producers, as well as the general

public.

Many

voiced

their

concerns

that

local

dialects

would

be

fornidden

in

public

places.

Mandarian,

which

means

language

is

the

country’s

predominant

lan

guage

and

is

widely

used by more than 70 percent of the population. However, local

dialects still enjoy popularity for relatively less-educated

people in some occasions. The dialects do make unique role and

should be tolerated for existence in public places.

Though

promoted

widely

in

public

places,

dialects

are

acceptable

in

public

places.

First,

it

is

more

than

a

mere

tool

for

communication.

It

is,

most

importantly,

the

messenger

of

its

respective

culture.

If

the

dialect

was

eliminated

from

daily

use,

the culture will be broken. Second, Mandarian can absorb the

elite

part

of

local

dialect

to

enrich

its

vocabulary

and

usage.

This is the perfection of Mandartian from thousands of years

blend

and

contact.

The

dialects

can

also

be

popular

in

the

public.

Along with the famous short play by comic actors in NE China,

the local dialect came into the spotlight, and enjoyed more

popularity throughout

China. Such a cultural phenomenon represents the audience an

attitude to local dialects which cater to the taste of

the

majority. Third, dialect is the only mean of communication to

some

undereducated

local

people.

If

local

dialects

are

forbidden

in the public places, they can not communicate.

To sum up, local dialects should be tolerated in public

places for its unique role which Mandarian can not substitute.

We should guartee its survival because dialects stand for our

spiritual land. From a long-term perspective, dialects should

not

and

would

not

be

wiped

out.

There

is

no

need

for

any

purposeful

and

deliberate

attempt

to

protect

dialects.

Just

let

dialects take their natural course. The best way to protect a

dialect

is

to

use

it

in

daily

life

and

pass

it

down

from

generation to generation.

What I Have Learned From My Years at University

The development of an individual human existence

can

be

divided

into

several

important

stages.

But

no

period

can

be

more

influential

upon

the

later

course

of

our

life

than

the

years we have experienced in college. Here is the cradle of

intelligentsia with vision, mission and passion. And now, as

I am ready to leave campus and face the real world, I dare say

that no other place can teach me more.

I

am

very

proud

that

in

university

I

have

learnt

how

important

it

is

for

one

to

have

vision,

that

ability

to

see

ahead of time and

possibly others. College has raised me up,

so that I could enjoy a broader view of the world. University

Library,

the

sanctuary

of

mind

always

keeps

me

in

a

close

touch

with

the

great

thoughts

of

giants,

Shakespeare,

Russell,

Churchill,

Roosevelt,

to

name

only

a

few.

All

these

overwhelmingly

famous

names

have

turned

familiar

and

friendly

here.

These

great

minds

teach

me

how

to

live

a

meaningful

life.

They

warn

me

that

the

last

but

greatest

enemy

for mankind is human existence itself. Their words of wisdom

shall guide and guard me to overcome all the obstacles beset

in

the

course

of

my

life.

In

the

light

of

this

statement,

I

have

to say that college years have brightened up my vision.

It is at university that I have acquired an

added understanding of the meaning of mission i.e. man should

have shoulders

strong enough to take more responsibilities of

the time. College has enriched me, so that I, to some extent,

have

discovered

the

truth

to

live

by.

When

I

was

a

sophomore,

I

was

chosen

a

volunteer

for

the

Red

Cross

Institution.

My

job,

then, was to assist the doctor with the blood collecting in a

blood donation car on the street. Those days bestowed me with

a

moving

but

a

little

bit

singular

picture,

in

which

the

painful

injection

and

hearty

smile

are

perfectly

and

beautifully

combined.

Every

parcel

of

blood

means

a

piece

of

hope,

through

which I see that the possession of life lies in sharing. This

is how college years have defined my mission.

It is after some years at university that I

have better

apprehended

Toynbee when he said,

“Glory belongs

to those who are actually in the arena, fighting passionately

whilst showing

every

now and

then

mistakes

or shortcomings.”

I

have

understood

the

spirit

of

transcending

myself,

sometimes

even in a crazy way. If youth is the freshness of the deep

springs

of

life,

then

college

must

be

the

fountain

of

passion.

It cheers in the chaos of gym; it hides in the silence of lab.

During

the

college

years,

I

never

stopped

pursuing

my

own

dream,

because I never fail to be inspired by the flowing current of

young passion.

Lawrence H. Summers, former President of

Harvard

said

in

his

farewell

speech,

“College

graduates,

capable

of

deep

reflections

are

what

the

world

needs.”

Living

in a world of madding crowd, a group, or even a small group of

people

are

expected

to

remain

transcendental

and

sober.

If

any

can

live

up

to

so

high

a

standard

of

existence,

college

graduates can. And I am fortunate in being among them at this

moment and having spared little time cultivating my vision,

mission

and

passion

in

the

past

four

years.

With

these,

I

have

better

courage

to

change

myself

and

most

probably

better

preparation for my future.

：

Financial Disparity: Not a Barrier for Friendship

With the development of market economy in China arise the

income gaps between people working in different fields: some

earn

good

money;

some

make

ends

meet;

some

others

live

on

narrow

means. On top of many social problems this financial disparity

may cause there is a claim that it affects friendship. The

assumption seems reasonable but we may find it does not really

hold water by taking a close look into the subject.

First

of

all

true

and

lasting

friendship

is

built

on

common

values

pursuits

or

hobbies

rather

than

similar

incomes.

Friends

are those who agree with your life views and stick to the some

principles those who encourage you when you lack confidence in

meeting challenges and pursuing your dream or those who share

your

interests

and

appreciate

your

tastes.

Indeed

what

strengthens these emotional bonds between you and your pals is

not the same amount of wealth but spiritual commonalities. Of

course

with

similar

financial

backgrounds

you

will

probable

know

better

about

each

other's

life

style

but

the

difference

in

this

aspect will not matter if you are mutually appreciated needed

and trusted. The friendship between Marx and Engels--the two

German

revolutionists--is

a

case

in

point.

The

former

was

often

in debt while the latter was well-off; yet the same socialist

dream drew them together and made them forever friends.
