Some are especially fond of downloading free music. They argue that free music downloads not only enrich our life, but also are good for the music industry because they help increase the popularity of music.However, from my point of view, it is not advisable to allow free music downloads. For one thing, they violate the intellectual property rights of musicians. For another, they have a negative impact on the sales of musical products such as CDs, which may do harm to the whole music industry. Without good returns, who would like to invest in the music industry?In order that the music industry can develop healthily, we had better ban free music downloads. Let’s all start to do so with ourselves.No. 2On TV Shows1. 时下电视真人秀（如超级女声、梦想中国等节目）非常流行2. 有人认为真人秀很好，可以展现自己，体会人生，有人却不喜欢3. 我的看法On TV ShowsNowadays, TV shows are very popular. TV programs like Super Girls and Dreams in China have attracted thousands of people to participate, and many more wait to watch them when they are on show.Why are so many people interested in such programs? Advocates say that these programs provide excellent opportunities for young people to express themselves and to show their specialty. They help improve their self-confidence and can add to their courage to face all kinds of challenges.However, some people criticize these programs, arguing that they are not only a waste of energy, money and time, but also a revelation of social vanity.In my opinion, we need not be too critical about such TV programs. If they can bring happiness to those who participate in them as well as to the audience, they are justifiably entitled to prosper.No. 3On Students Dealing in Stocks1. 许多大学生热衷于利用课余时间炒股2. 人们对其持不同态度3. 我的看法On Students Dealing in StocksWhen many people make a fortune in the stock market, a great number of university students follow their steps and get involved in dealing in stocks too. They deal in stocks in their free time, trying to earn some money and gain some experience in managing properties.Most people accept this understandingly. They say dealing in stocks provide the students an opportunity to combine what they have learned in school with practice. However, there are also people who take a negative view on this. They argue that dealing in stocks will not only take much of the students’ energy and time, but it will also make huge economic risks. When huge losses occur, they may lead to disastrous results.As for me, I think university students must be discouraged to deal in stocks, since campus life is not yet ready for the turbulent stock market.No. 4Should English Classes Be Compulsory for Students?1. 目前，英语课是大学生的必修课之一2. 有人认为英语课不应被视为必修课，有人却不这样认为3. 我对此所持的看法及理由Should English Classes Be Compulsory for Students?Most universities in China have made English a compulsory course, which has aroused many complaints among students. Many students wish that English could be removed from the list of compulsory courses.However, I think it is of great significance for all university students to study English. To begin with, as an international language, English is widely used. Today, university students must master the language if they are to communicate with foreigners and to participate in the fierce international competition in the future. In addition, studying English as a foreign language does not only provide students with a useful tool for communication, but also open a door to cultures different from our own. As is universally acknowledged, mutual understanding among different cultures is vital for keeping the world safe and peaceful.Therefore, I strongly recommend that all students should take advantage of the compulsory course, and try to study English well.No. 5Fast Food1. 快餐逐渐成为许多人生活的一部分2. 有的人认为吃快餐能节省很多时间，有人则认为快餐对健康不利3. 我的看法Fast FoodFast food has been increasingly popular in our life. For one thing, more fast food restaurants, both Chinese and western style, appear in the street. For another, more customers welcome fast food. Several years ago, only the young went to McDonald’s, but now people of all ages rush to fast food restaurants.The popularity of fast food apparently relates to the fast pace of modern life. Office workers have to turn to fast food because of their short lunchtime. Some families, with both husband and wife working full time, cannot afford the time to cook, so they choose it too.However, evidence shows that fast food lacks nutrition, and if we eat only fast food, it is surely bad for our health.Therefore, I think, for convenience’s sake, we need fast food. But if we want to keep good health, we should try our best to cook for ourselves.No. 6On Students Quitting School1. 近年来，许多大学生退学2. 大学生退学的原因3. 我的看法On Students Quitting SchoolMany college students have quit school in recent years. They do it for different reasons.Some students quit school because of their poor health. A serious disease or a traffic accident may have made it impossible for them to continue their schooling. Other students may be forced to do it because their family couldn’t afford the tuition.However, there are some students who quit school out of their own choice. Some embrace a good job offer and leave school. Others may find that they cannot afford to lose the good opportunity to start their own business, so they quit school to start their career just like Bill Gates.Whatever the reason, I think college students should think twice before deciding to quit school. After all, graduates are normally better prepared for their future than those who quit school. College education pays off in the long run.No. 7Should Students Follow Fashions?1. 许多大学生的打扮越来越时尚2. 有些人认为大学生的主要任务在学习而不是追赶潮流，有人却不这么认为3. 我的看法Should Students Follow Fashions?Young university students are sensitive to fashions. Some are keen on following fashions: they use mobile phones of the latest style; they wear stylish clothes; they enjoy popular music.Some people are not happy with this phenomenon. They argue that university students should focus on their studies rather than on fashions. They say fashions cost so much that university students cannot afford them. Some students follow fashions crazily, for fear of losing face. Fashions have caused much trouble on campus.However, others may hold different opinions. They say fashions can drive students to work harder for a better life and broaden their horizons, which is essential for their future development.I understand those students who follow fashions, but they must be responsible and not go to extremes. If their family is poor, there is no need for them to have such luxurious hobbies.No. 8A Letter to the University President1. 表明写信目的：建议提高学校的教学质量2. 提出具体建议，如改进课堂教学质量、加强培养学生的自主学习能力、举办知识竞赛以促进学习风气的改善3. 希望建议得到关注A Letter to the University PresidentDear Mr. President,I’m a sophomore majoring in Law. I’m writing to make suggestions on improving the education quality of our university.First, I think there is still much room for improvement concerning our classroom education. Some teachers just recite textbooks and their courses are boring. It’s not very helpful for us. we need more interaction and communication in the classes, and we welcome more lively and practical course.Second, we students need help to develop our initiative in our study. I hope our university can invite some famous people to deliver lectures to us on how to study.Finally, in order to get all students involved in our studies, I suggest some contests be held in the university. For example, the Department of Law can have legal knowledge contests.Thank you for reading my letter. I hope my suggestions will be seriously lookedYours sincerelyLi Ming No. 9Grades and Ability1. 有人认为分数体现能力2. 有人则认为分数不一定体现能力3. 我的看法Grades and AbilityDo high grades imply excellent ability? Opinions vary from person to person.Some agree that high grades reflect high intelligence and are thus indicative of one’s ability. Students who do well in exams are therefore always favored in class. Others hold that grades have little to do with one’s ability. They point out that some students who do not work well in school may also make great achievements. They take Edison for example, saying that Edison was considered not clever by his primary school teacher, but became a very famous inventor later.In my view, grades are important for us students. When people have no other ways to assess our ability, they can decide whether we are qualified for a school place or a position only from our grades. Therefore, we must try to achieve high grades in school, even though they are not the only standard for our abilities.No. 10Annual Expenses for Studying English（图，俺就省掉啦）1. 上图所示为X市大学生用于英语学习资料的开销，指出此项消费的发展趋势2. 说明其变化并分析原因Annual Expenses for Studying EnglishThe charts show that college students have changed much in their ways of studying English, and their total expenses for it have also increased greatly. In 2000, they bought either reference books or tapes. But in 2008, they can choose among reference books, tapes, CDs or DVDs, MP3s, and the Internet. Consequently, their annual expenses for studying English have risen from 150 yuan to 230 yuan per person, a 50% increase.Many factors contribute to such changes. Firstly, as an international language, English is not only useful when we travel abroad or communicate with foreigners, but also has become a must if we apply for a job in some large companies. Secondly, the income of most families has increased considerably, so college students can spend more on their English study. Last but not least, with the advancement of new technology, more efficient English study facilities become available for students.。
