In the West, many families like to keep a
pet.
We may be surprised at the amount
of
money
they
pay
in
terms
of
pets
’
food
or
medical
treatment,
etc.
Keeping
a
pet,
indeed, has many advantages.
I have two main
reasons for my argument.
First of all,
pets can be good
companions, which is
especially important for those who
live
alone and
the old who
can not get out
much.
What they get from the pets is
not only hours of amusement
but also
loyalty.
Some pets can even protect the
house from thieves.
Secondly,
taking care of a pet also helps
children to be responsible and caring members of
the society.
A child who
learns to be very sensitive to the feelings of a
pet can
be expected to have positive
attitudes to other people and life.
However,
some
others
would
argue
that
pets
are
dirty
or
dangerous.
But
I
believe
it
is
not
that
pets
themselves
are
to
blame,
but
their
owners.
If
the
owners
train
their
pets
properly
and
take
very
good
care
of
them,
they
are
unlikely
to
get
dirty
or
become aggressive.
To sump up, there are surely more
advantages than disadvantages to keeping a
pet, especially for those lonely and
young.
Money spent on the special food
for
pets or the high fees paid for
pets
’
medical treatment is
not a waste.
Internet and Our Life
Internet
is
now
one
of
the
best
forms
of
media,
with
its
swiftness
and
interactivity.
Internet is
becoming the foundation of our modern society.
With
the
assistance
of
Internet,
more
people
can
now
communicate
with
one
another
more
freely and quickly. Internet also serves to be a
great source of wisdom and
creation.
It
is
already
becoming
the
electronic
library
of
the
future,
giving
vent
to
creativity and ingenuity unparalleled in human
history. But Internet is a
double-
bladed
sword.
Its
ability
to
distribute
information
and
connect
people
around
the
world is often abused by us. Junk mail
proliferates the Internet. Every year,
many young people are deceived by their
online friends
??
The damage
we have
suffered from Internet is also
too severe to recover.
Indeed, Internet access connects many
of us to a world of information at the
touch of a button. Internet is such an
integral part of our life. In order to have
Internet
serve
us
human-beings
well,
we
must
not
take
its
negative
sides
for
granted.
Web
sites,
especially
the
web
sites
available
to
the
young
children,
must
be
strictly
censored. It
’
s
time we took effective measures to minimize the
side effects of
Internet.
Women, Second-class
Citizens?
Women
won
their
independence
years
ago.
After
a
long,
bitter
struggle,
they
now
enjoy the same
educational opportunities as men in most parts of
the world.
But
the hard-fought battle for recognition is by no
means over. Top-level
political
negotiation between countries, business and
banking are almost entirely
controlled
by
men,
who
jealously
guard
their
so-called
“
rights
”
.
Even
in
the
very
progressive places like
Switzerland, women haven
’
t
been given the vote.
Women
continue to be regarded as second-rate
citizens. Women are said to be unreliable
and irrational.
They
depend too
little on
cool
reasoning and too
much
on intuition
and
instinct
to
arrive
at
decisions.
They
are
not
even
capable
of
thinking
clearly.
In
fact,
women
have
succeeded
in
many
jobs,
as
politicians
doctors,
university
professors,
farmers,
company
directors,
lawyers,
bus-conductors,
scientists,
etc..
And we must remember
that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all
these fields
in addition to bearing and
rearing children. In conclusion, women have proved
repeatedly that they are equal and
sometimes even superior to men in many fields.
The women should not belong to a
different species.
Fast Food (212
words)
Fast food, such as hamburgers, fried
chicken, is as much a part of modern life
as
the
automobile
and
the
computer.
It
is
rapidly
becoming
popular
al
over
the
world.
Nowadays, time is
money.
More
and more people
find it difficult
to afford time
to
sit in restaurants
enjoying long, leisurely lunches, or at home
waiting for a
breakfast or a meal to be
prepared.
So nobody would deny the fact
that fast food
is a blessing for busy
people, as it helps them make more efficient use
of time.
On the other hand, there are
still those who complain that fast food has little
nutritional
value.
They
worry
that
if
people
get
used
to
living
on
fast
food,
their
health will suffer.
In addition, the opponents of fast food
even worry about the
decline in
traditional cuisine the fast food industry will
bring about.
They say
that
the
traditional
cuisine
will
disappear
if
the
trend
toward
fast
food
continues.
So far as I am concerned, I
would like to take a more balanced position.
For
one
thing,
few
people
eat
fast
food
all
the
time.
For
another
thing,
comparing
our
traditional
food
with
western
fast
food,
we
do
realize
that
our
traditional
cooking
is really very appetizing, though a bit
time-consuming.
Information
in The Modern World
(174 words)
To be well-
informed is very important in the modern world.
Success or failure
in many fields, very
frequently, depends on whether the latest
information is
obtained,
not
on
how
much
knowledge
one
has
already
acquired.
This
is
why
the
current
era
is called
“
Information
Age
”
.
There
are
many
ways
to
get
the
latest
information
to
keep
up
with
what
is
going
on
both
at
home
and
abroad.
Newspaper
reading
is
a
very
popular
and
convenient
means.
Newspaper
articles
usually
cover
almost
all
kinds
of
news:
local
news,
regional
news,
national news,
international news... Besides, TV programs also
offer varied kinds
of news --- news of
politics, finance, education, sports... But the
most exciting
means of obtaining
information, I think, should be from computer
network. Almost
all kinds of the latest
information are accessible there.
To sum up, I would like to
predict that information will play a more and more
important part in the
future. Without information, we would
act like the blind
and
would find it extremely difficult to
make a step forward.
Education and Technology
(301
words)
Education and technology have a close
relationship with each other, which
becomes
increasingly
obvious
in
the
modern
society.
As
is
known
to
us
all,
we
live
in
the
‘
information
age
’
or
‘
knowledge
explosion
age
’
.
The
reason
for
this
may
be
twofold:
on
the
one
hand,
education
is
the
base
for
technological
advance.
Without
education, people
are unlikely to acquire knowledge, which means
that there would
be no one applying
technology. On the other hand, advanced technology
impels the
development of education,
because advanced technology invariably means more
educational opportunities and more
varied facilities for education.
Hence, a
greater number of people will
be educated.
In
order
to
advance
technology,
we
have
to
develop
education
as
soon
as
possible.
Otherwise,
it
would
block
the
speed
of
development.
Developing
education
has
at
least
two advantages.
For one thing, developing education can
ensure technologic
innovation
continuously. Generally speaking, better-educated
people, who get
more
knowledge, are supposed to be more
initiative than those who get less education.
For the other thing, developing
education can guarantee the wide application of
technology. With the rapid development
of our national economy, technology
penetrates every aspect of our life so
much so that one would fall into trouble if
he
learned
insufficient
knowledge
of
technology.
For
example,
those
who
know
little
about computers will
meet with difficulties both in their work and
life.
In
order
to
carry
out
education
effectively,
we
should
try
to
take
the
advantage
of technological
facilities. The utility of technology can
accelerate the
development of
education. It not only supplies more and more new
applications and
methods for research
in education, but also improves the structure of
education
itself.
