T h e P o p u l a r i t y o f B l o g?博客1）近年来“博客”越来越流行,许多人利用“博客”来表达心声、交流想法2）博客流行的原因3）目前的博客中可能存在的问题In recent years,?blog?has become very popular. More and more people have created their own blogs and often visit others’ blogs. They use blog to reveal their inner voice, or collect and share thoughts and things they find interesting. In brief, blog is an online diary or a?frequently?updated personal page.Why does blog become so popular in such a short time？Firstly, it is the widespread of Internet that provides a?platform?for the appearance and popularity of blog. Secondly, anyone can create his own blog as he wishes. Blog has no fixed rules and needn’t professional knowledge and skills, which enables millions of people to have a voice and connect with others. Thirdly, blog covers all kinds of topics from daily life to political forums, from individual thoughts to world events. Among millions of blogs, you can always find something you are interested in.However, blog has some problems. For one thing,?plagiarism（剽窃）in blog is not unusual. The protection of blog?copyright?cannot be guaranteed. For another, many blog contents are?in a mess, and some even include unhealthy things. Therefore, blog still has a long way to go before it becomes mature.Styles of Living 生活方式1．有些人愿意和父母居住在一起2．有些人想自己独立居住3．我的看法Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up. They hold the opinion because, living with parents , they can take better care of their parents and?vice versa. Meanwhile, they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties. To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.Others, however, prefer to live separately. They?cherish?the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like. Besides, they don’t want to be?overprotected?by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.As to me, I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents. Different generations have different life styles and values. What one generation likes may not be another generation’s fondness. Living separately, each generation can enjoy different value. In addition, by leading an independent life, I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal withthings?encountered?in my life.Certificate Craze On Campus?考证热1)近几年大学校园内出现“考证热”2)产生这一现象的原因3)你的看法In recent years, getting a?certificate?has become a new craze among college students. Just?randomly?ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing; quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?There are mainly two reasons behind this?phenomenon. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion?of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the?qualifications?for a job, thestudents compel?themselves to run from one exam to another.From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.Private Tutoring 请家教1．为孩子聘请家教目前非常普遍2．家教的利与弊3．我的看法Private tutoring is “in”. A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents, for various reasons, missed the chanceof?obtaining?a good education. When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless, private tutoring is the only?solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil, clearly．However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages: for one thing, it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and?entertainment, which are?essential?for their physical and mental health. For another, some teachers, busy“shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teachin g duties. What’s more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well in the test, offering the so-called tips for test.Generally speaking, its disadvantages?outweigh?its advantages.Greater?emphasis?should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of the pupils’ potentials. Only in this way can we generation be healthily brought up.教你征服英语四级考试——写作【存在问题】1. 不会写所谓不会写指的是，当考试拿过一篇文章不知如何下手，不知如何提笔进行写作。
