(1) Arguments for or against sending aged parents to nursing homesFor:Parents can achieve more care it save time for young couples who go to work all day without energy to look after their parents it proves unemployed man to go to work as caregivers.What our parents need is not to have a comfortable environment. They just want to have a chat with you; they just want to exchange ideas with you; they just want to be with you…No matter how hard the life is!Since it is a society with a high speed, we may have so much time to take care of parents well enough. So it is a good choice to send our parents there to have the worker look after them.They may feel comforted to help relieve their children’s stress. And we should showrespect for their choice.The family is becoming smaller and smaller, which means the couple should take care of four parents and a child, and that is a big burden for the young generations. At the nursing home, the old may find a lot of things in common with the people there, and they can share their feelings.And it doesn’t mean that we desert them, we can often visit them and comfort them Aged parents will fell lonely if they stay at home by themselves. However, at the nursing homes, they will have many companions to talk with and to play with.. Some aged parents are in bad health, but their children are busy with their work.. On this condition,it’s a good idea to send them to nursing homes to get better care. For children, if they send their aged parents to nursing homes, they will worry less about their parents, so that they will wok much better.Against:1. Cause our parents have done a lot for us when we were still young, and now when we are grown up and have the ability to earn some money , we should try our best to do something for them and let them to live as they like ,enjoy some happy moments before their deaths.2. I think most aged people don't like the nursing home ,what they need at this time is not good food ,good nursing ,but love and care from their sons and daughters who they put their whole hopes on. We should give them love and look after them, as they did to us when we were young. What’s more, China is a country respect aged parents,we should follow the society's virtue. Young people leave eldersalone in nursing homes elderly may have the feeling of being abandoned.I think it is totally wrong to send our parents to the nursing home. Our parents spared no efforts to bring us up, now when they become old; it is our duty to care for them, instead of sending them away.3. We should not only provide our parents with economic resources,but also we should give them spiritual comfort. And this is the most important since elder people1are very much afraid of loneliness.4. Now the environment of the nursing home is not that satisfactory. It may be very dirty, noisy and unorderly in the old people’s house. And the food there might bevery bad, not to mention having balanced diets.5. In the nursing home, there are nearly no young people. Even the workers there are a little old. There is no vigor at all.6. The ability to adapt to the strange environment is weak. Maybe they have adapted to the familiar family and neighborhood. And they are not willing to change.7. Influenced by our traditional culture, it is rooted in our mind that it is the happiest thing to have a large family and have their sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters around. If we send them to the nursing home they may feel deserted.8.It is a regular law that the older we become, the more we feel the need to get together with our family.9. You may argue that we may have no time and energy to take care of our parents. But I believe as well as we spare no effort, we are sure to find time to accompany our parents and in turn we are relieved to have a wonderful time with them. And this is a perfect way to relax.10. since we are not so independent as the young in the West, our parents may become used to living with us, so we had better keep our parents with us.Have you remember the song sung in the Spring Festival Evening Show 常回家看看。

What our parents need is not to have a comfortable environment. They just want to have a chat with you; they just want to exchange ideas with you; they just want to be with you…No matter how hard the li fe is!11. Some children just send their aged parents to nursing homes, and later care little about their parents ,which makes their parents very sad.12. For some aged parents, they want to stay with their childrenevery day, then they will fell very happy and satisfied. Therefore,it’s against their will to send them tonursing homes.13. Some nursing homes are far from satisfactory, and they are notable to bring aged parents happinessArguments for or against asking pocket money from our parents(2)Arguments for or against asking pocket money from our parentsWith the development of our modern society, peoples livingconditions become much more comfortable. But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children needs in all-round. One method to solve this contradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket money is useful to children. But whether thechildren are considerable enough to make correct use of these money. For: Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will givechildren a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange.Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to2save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money. It can enable children to gain the ability to manage money earlier, which is good for their development.Children will be happy if they often get pocket money, and they can buy what they love, which contributes to a happy childhood.We can guide children to use their pocket money properly to make good use of it. Sometimes, children will be happy to do something if they can get pocket money. To them , it’s a good encouragement.We are too young to support ourselves on our own.It is very convenient outside home if we have some packet money with us. It can enable children to gain the ability to manage money earlier, which is good for their development.Children will be happy if they often get pocket money, and they can buy what they love, which contributes to a happy childhood.We can guide children to use their pocket money properly to make good use of it. Sometimes, children will be happy to do something if they can get pocket money. To them ,it’s a good encouragement.Against:Young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents.Some parents cosset(溺爱) their children, and always give them a large amount of pocket money. Such conditions will make children become more and more prodigal. Since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines. Our parents make money by working day and night, we should help them to support the family and not just want to ask money for our parents.If we can always get money from our parents , it is easy to develop the bad habit of spending money randomly.We are old enough to support ourselves by getting a part-time job. We should have a proper conception of money.1,Children are too youny to know how to spend their pocket money. Often, they use the money wrongly, which leads to a big waste.2 Some children develop a bad habit of comparing themselves with others concerning pocket money, and that’s harmful to the m.3.Some children do a lot of harmful things with pocket money ,suchas playing computer games, drinking and so on, which is bad.3Arguments for or against requiring high school students to wear school uniformsFor:(1)The school uniform is a symbol of students. Dressing uniform will help to shape the school's overall image.what’s more, it can enhance the students’ identity of3the school.(2) It is important that students pay more attention to their school work than to their clothes. Caring too much about how they dress shouldn't be a big concern for students. If they wear uniforms, they don't have to worry about what they wear. (3) School uniforms helps to eliminate socio-economical barriers. Many students come from diverse backgrounds; however, inside the walls of the school, economic advantages and disadvantages are no longer obvious.(4) If students wear uniforms, they will remember that they are students and they will always be reminded of what students should or shouldn't do.(5) One of the chief benefits of school uniforms is their ability to make schools safer. Studies have shown that they help to reduce gang influences.Against:(1)School uniforms inhibit students?? individuality. Young people often express theirfeelings through the clothing that they wear. Uniforms will take away this form of expression. Why should school districts try to make everyone look the same?(2) . A school uniform policy inhibits a student's freedom of choice. Schools teach students that our country is a free one. But when school boards make students wear what they tell them too-- it curtails the students' freedom.(3)There is the issue of cost. Many parents shop for theirchildren's clothes at used and discount stores. Uniforms can cost more money than these families might be able to afford. Also, these students would need to buy additional clothing to wear after school and on the weekends. That's double the amount of money a family would spend than they would without the uniforms.(4)The another reason I do not enjoy the thought of school uniformsis comfort. Students enjoy wearing comfortable clothing to school. Uniforms are not necessarily comfortable. Also, wearing a uniform might make the student uncomfortable around people outside the school whodon't have to wear a uniform.(5)Students should wear the uniforms for almost a week.It’s easyfor the uniform to get dirty and not conducive to personal hygiene.4Arguments for or against the view that one’s fate is adecisive factor in one’s life :Reasons fo r “Yes”Unfortunate fate decides unfortunate life . Such as disabled people , whose starting line is lower than others , may suffer discrimination everywhere . If two persons of the same level apply for one position , it’s no doubt that most bosses prefer the abledperson.Poverty is of vital importance to one’s fate which can decideone’s life . For example ,if one doesn’t have money to go to school , how can he change his life byknowledge ?4Where you are born can decide what life you will own . Students of Beijing and Shanghai can be admitted to famous universities by a lower score while students from Shandong must have a very very high score if you want to go to a key college . People always say that college entrance examination is equal , but from the minute you are born , it has been decided unequal .In ancient times , the children of royalty and high-class officials have higher social positions than average men’s kids . They can escape from the hard life from theirbirth .In addition ,some people can become millionaires because of alottery ticket (彩票) ,while some people can suffer from a traffic accident . Aren’t these fates?Reasons for “No”The disabled can also master their fate , such as Zhang Haidi , Tai Lihua , Sang Lan . As long as one decides to challenge the present situation , he can create a beautiful life .Many wealthy men aren’t bound to have a brilliant background when they werechildren . However , they create wealth using there own hands .Even though you aren’t born in Beijing or Shanghai , you aren’t admitted to Peking orTinghua University , you can study hard to earn a better life . Not every person who has a great life is graduated from Peking and Tinghua University , many of them even haven’t gone to college . As the old saying goes: Every road leads to Rome . Not every dynasty could exist for a long time . The farmer can rise up to reverse the government , such as Zhu Yuanzhang . From a monk to a king , is it determined byfate ? It’s created by his own effort .Lottery tickets aren’t only decided by fate , it also need your own knowledge , such as football lottery tickets . On the other hand , how many big prizes are got by only one try but not memberous failures ?5Arguments for or against requiring high school students to wear school uniformsFOR*Time saving. I didn't have to THINK about what I was going to wear to school. This took the fashion element out of my experience, yes, but it also made the morning less hectic. It completely eliminates fightsbetween children and parents over clothing choices. More importantly, it puts clothing in perspective. It shouldn't be the most important decision a child or teen has to make in the morning.*Money Saving Parents have a lot of financial decision to make. One of them shouldn't be about how much money they are willing to spend to keep their child up to date with what others are wearing. There's a place for fashion clothing, but is it important to make a fashion statement every day at school? Having a uniform allows children to keep their best clothes for going out, making them appreciate them more; and it allows parents to save money for things that are more important to their child's life.5*Equality. Clothing is just one of the many areas in which students are harshly judged by their peers. I was already last to be chosen in gym because of my size. I can't imagine how bad it would be if I was also judged because my parents couldn't afford to buy me designer jeans. Uniforms even the playing field, at least in one aspect of school life.*Focus. I didn't wear my uniform anywhere else but school, soputting it on put my mind in the frame of school. You know how different you feel when you dress up. You sit differently at home when you are in your grungy clothes than when you are wearing your work clothes. You associate different activities with clothes. I remember the first time I saw a parent buying "school clothes" for her child. I couldn't tell the difference between "school clothes" and "play clothes", since the parentwas buying a variety of shorts and T-shirts. If I couldn't tell the difference, I'm sure the child couldn't. While children should have fun in school, uniforms provide a subtle reminder that there is something different happening at school than at home or at the park.*Setting Priorities. What do we tell our children when we start them in Kindergarten with designer clothes and shoes? I know that all parents don't fall into the "label" trap, but many do. And, as I've mentioned previously, those who can't afford the "labels" are harshly judged by those who can't. When wearing a "label" becomes a priority, it sets priorities out of whack. What's more important making a fashion statement or getting a good education? I'm not saying that wearing fashion clothing eliminates the possibility of a good education. I'mjust saying that putting more time and money into fashion clothing tells children that it is more important than education. What surprises me most with this issue is the number of people who are against uniforms. There is nothing about them that will harm a student - yet students and parents have a lot to gain from them if they only take a moment to consider the benefits.AGAINSTI don't believe that public school students should be required to wear uniforms. There are many problems with enforcing a uniform inpublic schools, but for the sake of not turning this into a book, I will only name a few.1. Individuality- With most schools cutting most arts out of their budgets and writing assignments being mostly research papers and reports, how else do students have to express themselves but with their clothing and hair styles? Most school uniforms require students to only wear certain colors, styles, and some even limit hair styles! How is astudent supposed to show his or her uniqueness?2. Concentration- I have found that students required to wearuniforms are more focused on what they can or can't wear that they start "slipping up" when it comes to academic work. Most students come tothink negatively about the school and even begin to hate attending classes.3. Safety- Most schools are enforcing a uniform because they are worried about gangs, other violence, popularity negatively affectingtheir students. I believe that they fail to realize that students will adjust and learn to "represent" their "status" regardless of what they are required to wear. Popularity will still be an issue surrounding students6no matter what any school tries to do. It is just a fact of life. Some people are more popular to others and there are always gong to be cruel people in existence. 4.School uniforms have placed on extra burden on lower-middle class parents, and there are many discrimination among the different uniforms in different school. Schools need to seriously attempt to enforce their current dress codes before instating a uniformpolicy. At my old high school, there was a dress code, but they adopted a uniform because, "...a majority of students aren't adhering to the dress code. Therefore, we believe a uniform is the best action to take..." Students weren't adhering to the dress code because there was NO punishment for it. Teachers were supposed to write two warnings and after that, they were to suspend the student. The teachers felt that it took too much of their time to write the warnings and depended on the administrators to issue them.Schools need to consider their students and the negative andpositive outcomes of having a uniform. Nine times out of ten, the negatives far out weigh the positives 6Arguments for or against volunteering for the 2009 National Games to be held in Jinan Opinions for Yes1. It is a good chance for one to develop his socialization and application skills.2. The volunteers can make more friends from different provinces and expand his knowledge.3.
