Now I want to inform you that we are going to make some changes in garbage collecting.Here are three dustbins. The red one is for something poisonous, such as used batteries and old paints. The green one is for recyclable wastes, for example, waste paper and empty bottles or tins. As to the black one, it is intended to collect kitchen garbage, which can be turned into very good fertilizers.Garbage storing may take you a little more time, but it will bring about a lot of benefits. What’s more, we can save our natural resources to a large extent. In doing so, we are setting a good example to young generation.Your cooperation will be highly appreciated.(146 words)3. What do think of the idea of studying abroad?Nowadays more and more young people are going to study abroad. Like everything else, studying abroad has both favorable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the favorable aspects can be listed as follows:First, they think by attending a college in a foreign country they can not only acquire useful knowledge of science but also the culture and customs of other nations. Secondly, they can take advantage of this opportunity to gain a good command of the target language. Moreover they meet different people and enjoy different culture, which may help to broaden their views.Every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. When they study abroad, they have to pay a lot of money. In order to help the financial burden, most overseas students have to seek for employment during the vacation, which can’t allow them to focus their attention on studies. What’s more, they may feel very lonely.However, in the long run, the student will discover that the benefits of self-dependence and the mastery of a foreign language often outweigh the hardships experienced in their foreign studies. BY studying abroad they will be able to learn more advanced science and technology than they do in their own country. They benefits often take the form of a well-paid and satisfying job. Through above analysis, we can see that the positive aspects outweigh the negative ones. Therefore, I am in favor of going abroad to study.(238 words)4. Chat OnlineNowadays, Internet plays an important role in our daily life. Meanwhile, chatting online is getting more and more popular with people, especially with us young students. Like everything else, chatting online has both favorable and unfavorable aspects.Generally, the advantages can be listed as follows.First, by chatting online, we can get friends all over the world. Besides, it can help us improve our English level when we chat with a native speaker. Most important of all, we can communicate with someone that we couldn’t contact in daily life.But every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. To begin with, we don’t know the real identity of the person we chat with. To make matters worse, chatting may awaste of time. Worst of all, we may be in danger if we reveal our identity to others who have had bad intentions.Now, the conclusion is self-evident. The negative aspects outweigh the positive aspects. Therefore, we must make wise use of Internet and should not waste too much time chatting with strangers.5.
