Holiday economy is not new to people all around the world. In China, it stands for the nationwide one-week holiday starting from October 1st (the National Day). The government established the week-long holiday back in 1999 to stimulate domestic spending. Tour operators, retailers, and wedding halls have been cashing in ever since.
However, there are shifting perspectives about holiday economy. Many people, including some economists, think positively about holiday economy. They believe that tourism-based holiday economy has increased consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands. While others, who worry about the negative effect of holiday economy, argue that holiday economy do more harm than good. For example, during the extended holiday, scenic spots are overloaded with tourists, and it not only spoils the relaxing mood of the tourists, but also overburdens the tourist attractions.
In my opinion, both sides are reasonable. We should take good advantages of the holiday to develop economy while trying to tackle the problems existed with practical measures. Only in this way can we not only enjoy the pleasure golden week endows us, but also promote the development of holiday economy soundly. The Way to Success
There are many ways to success, such as hard working, passion or good preparations. From Honore De Balzac’s famous remark, “There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power”, we can see that the way to success is having a strong will.
A strong will is essential if we want to achieve our goals. Initially, every success involves several stages of setbacks and risks, and we need to summon up our will to overcome them. Moreover, there are enormous temptations in our path of the pursuit of success. Only with a strong will can we resist the temptation, and persist in chasing our goals until we reach them. The long history of human being has also proved that only those with a strong will can achieve success at last. We are all familiar with Thomas Edison’s story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up. Without a strong will, Edison might have been a nobody. Without a strong will, no one can succeed. Student Investors ID the Stock Market
China’s stock market is luring students looking to sec how their textbook teachings fare in real life. While there arc no concrete data on the student- investor, business professors say tbe market boom has boosted the number of students looking to play around with stocks. They invest in the stock market with money from parents and sometimes with amount equal to several times their annual tuition.
Some people are alarmed at the trend. As investing in the stock market involves many risks, they say，college students are very likely to lose, which may put students' &miiy assets at risk. However, some are supportive. As more and more students become sbarebolders, they will help raise tie general quality of shareholders and there will be more rational stock buyers in securities market， which is actually a good thing.
In my view, college students may give stock investment a try if possible. Stock investment may be a way to make fast money and help finance students* schooling. Even if the students are likely to lose in the stock market, it may still bring about valuable investment experience — they can、learn if they don’t tiy. Reform of English Education
As college English education is greatly emphasized with the rapid development of global commuiiicaticm，tbe defects that exist in the current educational system are open to more criticism- It is widely acknowledged that a thorough reform of college English education should be under way.
People ask for English education reform mainly because of the Inadequacy of college English education under the current system. On the one hand, many coilege English teachers underestimate the role interest plays in English learning and keep preaching in class. On the other h^nd, under the current system, most Chinese students tend to separate vocabulary memorizing, grammar, Hsteniiig, speaking, reading, and writing ftom each other and therefore their English is also “broken” in this way. This has also greatly contributed to the “dumb English” of many Chinese students.
In my view, to reform English education, colleges and universities should encourage students to speak English in class and hold more activities to promote students' oral English. Teachers should focus on attracting students with vivid teaching and arouse students* enthusiasm in learning English. With the collaboration, the reform of college BngHsh education will surely yield pleatifu] fitiits.
Save Money or Borrow Money?
Mentioning money, some people like to deposit it in the bank, while others like to consume it in advance. Money saved by people is mainly for: buying a house; in case of emergencies or diseases, car accidents, unemployment, earthquakes, and things like that; in case of college expenses of their children; for retirement, and so on. People believe that saving money is essential to lead a comfortable life. Having money in the baiik allows people to pay for vacations or expensive purchases like furniture or doctor bills m cash*
With the world entering a consuming era, many people, especially young white-collars and college students, choose to borrow money. In other words, they spend money in advance _ use credit cards and pay back the loan and interest on tbe next payday. They argue that: first, they could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by mstal^uents.
Second, many banks make some preferential policies on credit cards, like sending a. gift or lowering year cost* which is a big attraction,
On my personal level, I approve of saving money — in case of emergency, you do not need to turn to others for help, at least. And Vm opposed to the abuse of credit cards among college students. Since in most cases, parents arc their sole ftnandal sources. On Adversity
Everyone meets setbacks and fiustratians In life, and each tries hard to avoid them, only to find tbat they’re just like your own shadow accompanying you all your lives. The truth is，adversity can exert great influence on you, depending on how you deal with it.
When confronted with adversity, different people make different response. Some people consider it a stumbling block on the road to success, and get depressed and even sink into despair; others consider it tlbe stairway to great accomplishments and try to overcome it with constant struggle. The latter, therefore, will recognize their disadvantages from their temporary defeat, draw lessons from it, and grow stronger each time they have coped witb a difficulty. In my opinion, adversity often leads to prosperity. Painful and depressing as it is, overcoming adversity endows us with great confidence that is crucial to achieve success. Great people are not born successful, they are great only because they have tempered their personality and remedied their deficiencies through experiencing countless adversity and defeat, which is actually a goddess of blessing in disguise.
Conducting Moral Education in Colleges
In the current world, college students become morally more tolerant to the phenomena such as exam—cheating, academic dishonesty and default on loans. In this case, it’ s urgently important that we conduct moral education in college.
Moral education is beneficial in the following aspects. To begin with, it makes us aware of our personal responsibility. We must comply with social moral standards and learn to behave and conduct ourselves in society. Secondly, moral education teaches us to shun evil and do good, turning the uncivilized to the civilized. Thirdly, with higher moral standards, we will be more considerate towards others and avoid quarrels or conflicts, which contributes to maintaining a harmonious society.
As for how to conduct moral education in college, on one hand, theoretical moral education should be integrated into all aspects of campus life, including classroom teaching and
extracurricular activities. On the other hand, we should encourage students to take part in moral practices such as volunteer activities. Through these measures, they will know better about the meaning of life and shoulder their social responsibilities.
Does Higher Education Cease to Be Useful?
In the current climate of rising college fees and tight job market, the functions of higher education is arousing public concern. Having a degree or not seems not to make any difference to our life and may not necessarily guarantee a good job and income.
Students who attend higher education obtain a wide range of personal, financial and other lifelong benefits. First of all, the whole experiences of university life including all the academic lectures and social practices forge our personality and cultivate such virtues as cooperativeness and openness. In addition, according to the statistics, there is a trendy correlation between higher level of education and higher earnings despite the fierce job hunting competition. University is a huge advantage if we need to acquire expertise to practice in a meaningful profession.
In my opinion, it would be wise to attend university. Having a decent degree and being broadly intelligent may not guarantee us success, but it makes us a candidate. On Students'Interpersonal Relationship
Positive interpersonal relationships are vital for optimal humsit growth and development. However, in recent years, educators have expressed their concern about the ability of interpersonal relationship among students in institutions of higher education. According to a survey conducted by Hebei University, many college-age students regard interpersonal
relationship as the biggest headache. Increasing diversity and rapid changes m our society make interacting with others more and more complex and difficult. With 1 united life experiences and social skills, college students face more challenges in dealing with interpersonal relationship. This is especially true for students coming from rural areas. Because of the lack of social skills, they are often rejected by others _ and rejection gives them even fewer chances to leam how to interact with others.
In my opinion, now that interpersonal relationship is important to students* devclopmentj colleges should offer courses about comprehensive interpersonal relationships. The course should address the knowledge，skills, attitudes and behaviors involved in participating in positive relationships in the family and with individuals at school, m the conununity and in the workplace. Should Free Music Downloads Be Banned?
With the development of technology, more and more people are making use of the Internet and are enjoying downloading all types of materials. Some are especially fond of downloading free music. They argue that free music downloads not only enrich their lives, 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, this practice violates the intellectual property rights of musicians. For another, this will exert 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 will develop healthily, we had better ban free music downloads. Let’s all start to do so ourselves. Waste Sorting
Waste sorting is not a popular convention in our country, though it should be. Garbage bins filled with all sorts of recyclable and non—recyclable wastes mixed together are seen everywhere. People still haven’ t formed the habit of sorting wastes.
The neglect of waste sorting will bring about a series of problems. First of all, it causes a mass of waste of resources that could have been recycled or reused. Secondly, the growing amount of mixed rubbish will take up a lot of space in the landfill site, which will worsen the land shortage problem. Last but not least, it will increase the cost of waste treatment.
Waste sorting should be advocated, no matter from the perspective of economy or environment. Everyone should do their best by starting from daily life. More importantly, more campaigns for waste sorting should be conducted to raise the public awareness. How to Reduce Drunken Driving
Currently, as a mass of reports on deaths and injuries caused by drunken driving are all over the news， the phenomenon of drunken driving has aroused nationwide concern.
Drunken driving will undoubtedly give rise to severe consequences if we turn a blind eye to it. In the first place, it will put the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians under threat by causing traffic accidents, injuries or even deaths. After that, it means a mournful waste of time and money to treat the injured and fix the crashed cars. In addition, the irresponsible behaviors of the drunken drivers may lead to the unstabilization of the society.
Prompt and effective measures should be taken to reduce drunken driving before things get worse. On the one hand, it is essential that laws and regulations should be strictly enforced to impose heavy penalty on those who violate the rules. On the other, more efforts should be made to arouse public consciousness, such as propagating the bad influence of drunken driving. Only in this way can drunken driving be reduced. Online Learning
Perhaps there is something you don't know how to doTTn the past, you might turn to a friend or a relative, attend a night class or go to the local library to find the answer. But at present a lot of websites are springing np to offer free practical advice on these subjects aod actually anything else you can imagine.
Why is online learning so popular among people? The answer is obvious: online learning is nuich more convenient. In the past, you perhaps had to spend pienp of lime learning m a night class or going to the library to look for relevant materials. However, now when you run into a
problem, yotijust need to click the mouse, then a lot of related websites will appear in front of you*
However, not all the materials on the Internet are correct; sometimes they are false. Thus, if you want to lcam something from the Internet, you should make sure what you will leam is completely correct.
Importance of Buying a House
There is a heated debate on the importance of buying a house with the soaring house prices. Those emphasizing the in france of buying a house maintain that living in your own house makes you feel better and more comfortable compared to that in a rented one. Besides, no investment is more rewarding than buying a house nowadays. Statistics from both home and abroad shows that owning a house guarantees an increase in assets.
Quite the contrary, many people say, buying a house is not that important. On one hand, a rented apartment can provide the same comfortable or even better life for people. This is especially true when many people have no money to decorate their houses after the big purchase. On the other hand, people can spend more money on other more profitable investment than involving in real estate, such as buying stocks or other art collections.
Personally, I think possessing a house is extremely important. At its core, a house is a shelter After buying a house, people will become stable. What’s more important is that the children will also settle and can concentrate on study children could get affected as they adapt themselves with the new places, teachers and creating new friends making them Lag behind academically. On Taking CET Repeatedly
In recent years, many college students are laying grearstress on CET exams. In order to get high marks in the exam3 many sbdents are'taking CET lime and time again although they have passed it. When “CET season” approaches, campuses are filled with students occupied with CET preparations.
However, some people disapprove the idea of taking CET repeatedly for high scores. Although CET application fee is not high, taking the exams constantly can be a considerable financial burden. Moreover, it’s a waste of time to prepare for it every year, when you can do something more meaniigftil during the golden time in college. In addition, rather than focusing on CET, students should strive to develop other kinds of abilities.
As far as Tm concerned, it’s understandable to taking CET repeatedly for higher marks to be more competitive in the job market. If our future job requires a good mastery of English, we can step further to take high-level exams such as TOEFL or IELTS. But if it doesn't, we should not waste our lime and energy to take CET repeatedly. Campus Safety
Campus security and safety is a big issue and has become a focus in education, especially when tragic events happened time and time again on carnfms. The recent stampede at a middle school in Hunan Province is still fresh in our memory. It took the lives of eight teenagers and injured 26 others.
The tragic events served as a wake-up call. It warns that3 to safeguard the students, there is still much to be done. Schools across the country should take safety education seriously and conduct it compulsorily. Besides, they should revise their emergency preparedness plans and tighten security. For example, security guards should patrol on campus aro^md teaching buildings and student dorms, and enforce strict entrance checks, barring entry to anyone carrying a gun or s. knife.
As students, we should enhance our awareness of safety — that is, being aware of safety issues and of potential hazards in our daily life. For example, foresee the possible incidents and keep away from crowded places. Lock the dorm at night or whenever we are alone in the dorm. If possible, we should also have some first-aid trainings in order to help us survive emergency situations.
