TV: a Blessing or Curse?In recent years, television has become the most popular form of entertainment—almost every family has a television now. Television has brought people a blessing or curse?On one hand, Television has brought people much pleasure and information. On television people can watch Olympic Games , visit well-known scenic spots and enjoy a movie with a cup of coffee in their hands. From TV, people are informed about many things happening in the world, and people who live in different areas can also watch programs made in other countries so as to understand different cultures. However, some people argue against TV. They think spending too much time watching TV will affect human relationship. Suppose a whole family were glued to(紧附着) seats to watch programs on TV whenever they can. They would be so addicted to TV that it would begin to control their lives. As a result, they would neglect communication with each other, so day by day, families and friends would not discuss things together, and a gap between them would appear.In my opinion, we shouldn’t deny the advantages of TV just because it has some drawbacks. The points is that TV itself is neither good nor bad. Its value to people and society depends on how we look at it.Write a composition about 120 words entitled “Money for Children as Lunar New Year Gift” based on the following outlines.1. 有人认为给孩子压岁钱不好;2. 有人认为应该给孩子压岁钱;3. 我的看法。
Money for Children as Lunar New Year GiftIt has been a custom in China that children will receive some money from their seniorities as lunar new year gift during the Spring Festival. Nowadays, the sum of money given to children has become larger and larger. It is said that some children can have about 5000 yuan during that period.Some people think this custom should be changed. As children have money, they begin to spend it in a wasteful way .This is no good for them to have a frugal habit. Others believe that it is all right to give some money to children on special occasions, which can make them happy. They also hold that children can learn how to spend money properly, ifthey have it.My opinion is that adults may give children some money as a gift, but it should not be too big . And parents should tell their children how to spend the gift wisely. It is helpful to develop their financing ability.III.

After working hard all day, they rush home, gulp down their meals and hurry out to study in the night school.But why is there a boom in adult education? There are several reasons for people to go back for their education. Some people are doingit to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society. They know clearly that knowledge is power, and more knowledge means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion, while lack of skills and knowledge might deprive one of the opportunities to be promoted.
