(2004)According to a recent survey made by the China Daily, about 200 million Chinese are using phones as their daily communications means instead of writing letters. So some people say that phones will kill letter writing. But I dont think so.My argument that phones will not kill letter writing lies in at least three aspects. First, letter writing as a traditional way of communication still has some advantages over phones. For example, if people want to express something confidential to their close friends, they will turn to letter writing. Another example is that rural workers who are working far away from their hometown are more likely to write letters to their families than to make phone calls for the purpose of saving money. Second, letter writing is more authoritative and formal in some way. For instance, people who are doing business will write formal business letters to do a deal; people who want to recommend or introduce someone to someone else will write letter of recommendation or letter of introduction, etc. Last but not least, letter writing is still regarded as a token of friendship among friends. People always write letters to show their everlasting love and affection.All in all, letter writing is still very popular among people. It is still a good way for people to communicate with each other and it is impossible to be killed by phones.(232 words)范文：The Advantages and Disadvantages of Air TravelIn the last fifty years, traveling by air has become the most popular form of long-distance journeys. However, there are both positive and negative points associated with it.The first advantage of air travel is that it is quick. For instance, we can fly from Beijing to Guangzhou in less than three hours. The second advantage of traveling by air is that it is convenient. After we have checked in, all we have to do is get on and sit down. The friendly air stewardess will look after our every need. The third advantage of traveling by air is that it is now relatively cheap, especially for long distance travel. We can fly from Beijing to Guangzhou for only 1,200 yuan. But on the other hand, traveling by air has its disadvantages. Perhaps the most obvious is the element of danger involved, such as hijackings and crashes. Traveling by air also makes it impossible for us to see many scenic spots on the way to our destination. In addition to the above mentioned, a long distance air travel may make us very tired, both mentally and physically. Many precious days of holiday may be wasted recovering from air-sickness.To conclude, although air travel involved inconvenience and slight risk, I would say that the advantages mentioned above weigh much more than the disadvantages.(222 words)范文：The Importance of Keeping a Good Mood (2003)Modern people are supposed to endure a lot of pressure, from education, career or family. There are often tragic stories in the newspaper about people who went insane or committed suicide. Those tragedies once again indicate how important it is to keep a good mood.Keeping a good mood under whatever circumstances is important in at least two aspects. The first one is that keeping a good mood can help people possess a right attitude towards various difficulties and challenges. For example, some people have failed in business for several times and now they are in deep debt, but they never give up their hope and still believe they have the ability to be successful. This self-confidence will surely lead them to success someday. The second one is that keeping a good mood can help people put disappointment and frustration in the right perspective. Thinking that failure is the mother of success, people can well survive the temporary blows and look forward to the right future.Through the above analysis, we can realize how important it is to keep a good mood in order to face the pressure or challenges of modern society. When most people are aware of the importance of physical health, we must simultaneously remind them of the significance of mental health. (215 words)范文：The Best Way to Reduce StressWhile modern life offers us many conveniences, it also requires us to deal with pressure and frustration in daily life. It is important for all of us to find a way to relieve the stress in order to live happy and healthy lives. Some people prefer to engage in physical exercise, and some feel more relaxed after watching TV or even sleeping. As for me, I find that the best way to reduce stress is to spend time with family and friends.One reason I prefer to spend time with others is that their company is a pleasant distraction. When under stress, if I spend time alone, I may continue to dwell on my problems. However, sharing good times with family or friends helps me to forget my worries. Another reason is that I have an opportunity to discuss my problems. Their advice is often helpful because they can see my situation more objectively than I can. Furthermore, simply talking about my problems often makes me feel better. Finally, spending time with others reminds me of what is important in life and helps me to keep things in perspective.For all of these reasons, I believe that the best way to reduce stress is to spend time with others. But no matter what method we choose, it is important to find an appropriate way to relieve pressure. Only in this way can we lead well-balanced lives.(236 words)范文：My Views on ExaminationsIn most schools and college, the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.The most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively. Examinations do not motivate a student to obtain more knowledge, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to study consistently throughout the semester, but to induce cramming during exam week. Examinations also lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers themselves are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. And no subjects can be taught successfully merely for the purpose of passing examinations.Personally, I dont think that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students academic development. My suggestion is that educational authorities should devise more efficient and reliable measures to evaluate students ability of analyzing and solving problems. (185 words)范文：My Idea of InternetInternet is now very popular in our country. Surfing on the net has become a daily topic among many people. But every coin has two sides. We have to identify its impacts on us, good and bad.Internet plays an important role in our life. It makes the world smaller and people closer to each other. Internet is also the most convenient and efficient access to information. Moreover, for modern people who suffer much pressure of work and life, the net has also become their private repose. However useful Internet is to us, it has its own problems. First, some people are so enthusiastic about the net that they lose themselves in the world invented by the net. Second, the net sometimes offers information of larger quantity and wider range than it is expected. Therefore, it takes more and more time to seek the real useful information. Last and the most important, Internet has become a new lieu of crimes. For example, officials find their secret documents become open mails on the web because it is difficult to prevent their computer from being invaded by the criminals.In fact, nothing is flawless in the world. Since Internet has contributed and will contribute greatly to our life, we should make full use of it while minimizing its negative effects. With a stricter administration of the net and the improvement of vague morality, Internet will better the world for all of us.

Yet opinions of the development of a private car vary from person to person. In my opinion, private cars should be developed in China.There are many advantages in possessing a car. It gives a much greater degree of comfort and mobility. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and hence no irritation caused by waiting for buses or taxies. With a car he can go where he likes and when he wants, he can enjoy his leisure time by making trips to the country or seaside on the weekends. Whats more, the growth of automobile industry can lead to the boom of other important industries such as iron and steel production, energy and technological application. However, others strongly object to developing private cars. They maintain that as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the environment and causing actual harm to the health of people. Besides, private cars contribute to traffic jams so greatly that the advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled by the frustration caused by heavy traffic.In short, private cars should be developed in China with the development of our society. And the comfort and independence that a private car can bring to people shall never be neglected.

I think this trend has advantages as well as disadvantages.The advantages of college students taking a part-time job are as follows. By taking a part-time job, college students can earn some money for their daily necessities, so they can ease their families financial burden and become economically independent. Besides, by taking a part-time job, college students can get some working experiences and know how to use their knowledge in practical work, how to cooperate with others and how to deal with some problems they may face. These experiences are surely helpful to their future work after graduation. However, the disadvantages of college students taking a part-time job can not be neglected. The main disadvantage is that if they spend too much time on their part-time jobs, their academic studies will be affected. They may not have enough time to digest what they have learned in class.Since taking a part-time job has both advantages and disadvantages, college students should be careful when they decide whether they should take a part-time job or not.

However, I find there are still some students who neglect the importance of these activities.Evidently, extracurricular activities are important in many ways. Firstly, such activities can enrich the students college life. As an effective way of both physical and mental relaxation, extracurricular activities provide students with different opportunities to relax themselves. For example, after class students can participate in various ball games or colorful recreational activities. Secondly, such activities can help develop students sense of teamwork and cooperation with each other. For instance, when involved in group activities, students will realize the limitations of their individual effort and the strength of group work. Lastly, such activities provide the students with an opportunity to be sociable, which is surely helpful for them to communicate with different people in the future after they graduate from college.In brief, extracurricular activities are of great importance to college students. Only when college students are fully aware of the importance can they really enjoy their college life and have an all-round development of their physical strength and mentality.

Some people exercise every day; others try to keep a balanced diet. In my opinion, to do physical exercise is the best way.My suggestion that physical exercise is the best way for people to stay fit is based on the following two reasons. The first reason is that physical exercise can help to reduce ones unnecessary fat and weight. Medical experts have reported that the redundancy of fat is one of the causes of various diseases, some of which are even fatal. The second reason is that physical exercise can keep people a good shape of figure. For example, by doing physical exercise, man can have a strong body and look cool while woman can have a slim figure and look pretty. That is why there are so many people doing physical exercise in the parks, on the sports ground and in the various body-building clubs.In short, I believe the best way to keep fit is to do physical exercise. We may bear the following in mind: to do physical exercise every day, you will keep the doctor away.
