22. One Child Policy in the Chinese Family

As we all know, china has a very large population. But our natural resources are very limited and many people are still very poor, especially in the remote areas. In such a big country, food can not be well supplied to everybody. That?s the reason why our government requires every Chinese family should have one child. In the old society, people had a big family and their children could not be given a good education. However, in the modern society, every family can afford their children a very good education. Only by doing so can the quality of our Chinese be raised. I am strongly in favor of the policy: It?s better to have a child in every family. 23. Teenage Smoking

There has been an alarming increase in teenage smoking in the past 20 years. This fact has become a question that we must pay attention to. The factors for this case are complex. First, I think curiosity is the main reason. Many youngsters want to experience the pleasure of smoking when they see others doing that, and they also want to have a try, the second factor is also psychological. As the youngsters haven?t realized the harm of taking up this habit, they only think that smoking shows maturity. They want to be regarded as the grown-ups through smoking. For all these reasons, it comes as no surprise that teenage smoking has become a serious social problem. 24.The Value of Time

A proverb says:“ Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time. It goes without saying that the time we can use is unusually limited. Hence, even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things. As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve society and our nation in the future. In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. 25. Water and Life

Life depends on water. So water is one of the most important things in our life. However, according to a recent survey we find water dirtier and dirtier, and even polluted by the near by factories. I can hardly imagine what the world would be if we continued to use the polluted water. On the one hand, some kinds of animals are dying out. Fish suffer from the dirty and poisonous water more directly, so we are more likely to find it difficult to see fish swimming in the river then ever before.

26.Children Under Pressure

In recent years, children?s schoolbags on their back are getting heavier and heavier. Their burden still can?t be relieved in spite of social protests. There are several reasons for my viewpoint. For one thing, most parents want their children to be the top students. Therefore, children are forced to crush their time to study more. For another, children themselves under the pressure want to score high. They also want to get a golden opportunity to enter key schools and they think good marks can provide them with success. Obviously, we can see that the problem about the enormous pressure on children won?t be lightened in a short time.

27. How to Solve the Traffic Problem

When we go out in rush hours, we are always caught in a traffic jam. Many people complain about the heavy traffic which has seriously influenced people?s life. It has become one of the biggest problems in the big cities like Shanghai. Some suggest the government should construct more roads. In this way, the traffic density can be obviously reduced and the buses and cars can go faster. Others suggest that the number of bicycles and cars should be limited, but it is very inconvenient to people. In short, the government should develop proper traffic means and bring more benefit to people in the near future. 28. How to Solve the Energy Crisis

According to a recent survey, energy crisis has become one of the biggest problems in the world. If we don?t take any measures, sooner or later we will be threatened by the energy crisis. In many countries, people who have realized the problem have suggested the governments should narrow the great drain on the country?s resources when it isn?t necessary enough to save the limited resources. In addition, the inhabitants and factories should limit their serious consumption of energy. The best and effective way, I think, is to develop new energy such as solar energy, unclear energy and other unknown energy. 29． About friends

A man without a friend is only half a man. In another word, everyone living in the world needs friends. It?s clear that our society is a competitive one, and the great competition between each other often leads to frequent failures, which sometimes even make you feel despaired. However, if you have a true friend, he will relieve you, cast your sadness aside and encourage you to try again bravely. Therefore, choosing a true friend is quite important to us. But a false friend will stay with you when he thinks he can benefit from you and leave you the moment you need him most. In short, friends are to us what sunshine is to life.

30. Competition and Cooperation

How should we understand the relationship between competition and cooperation? For example, there are 11 people in a foot ball team and everyone has its individual skills. They make full use of their own skills to play it, but they can?t play it well and even lose the game. Why does it happen? The main reason is that they don?t cooperate with the other players and work together to win a game. As a matter of fact, this example tells us many things. Competition gets along with cooperation and they can?t be isolated. Cooperation without competition gets along with cooperation and they can?t be isolated. Cooperation without competition will never obtain one?s goals and satisfy one?s needs. 31．TV and Newspaper

With the development of science and technology, TV plays an important part in our life. While it is believed that it is convenient for people to get information, I believe that newspapers are the best sources of information. It is true that TV offers us sounds and pictures. The advantages of newspapers are reflected in many aspects. For one thing, news in papers is reported in detail and we can be well-informed about what is happening of the day. For another, reading newspaper can enhance our ability to read and write. Last, we can choose what we like. In short, the newspaper is an effective means of communication. 32. My favourite Job

My favourite job is to be a doctor. A variety of reasons have led me to choose this occupation. To begin with, there is no doubt that doctors are the emblems of greatness, which means rescuing the dying and the wounded. Second, those who save others from danger will also feel happy. NO more occupation, even high-paid position can equal the opportunity. Last but not the least, the doctors left me a great impress when I was only a child. Since then, they have a high position in my mind. For all these reasons, I want to be a doctor and contributed my love and help to others as often as I can. 33. Private Cars

Attitudes towards the development of a private car differ widely. As is often pointed out, there are many advantages in possessing a car. It gives us much convenience and comfort. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and he can go wherever he likes, which certainly offers people great opportunity to enjoy his leisure hours. Others argue that as more and more cars run in the street, much poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the air and do harm to our health. Anyhow, one thing is certain: private cars have changed our life.

34. Should Firecrackers Be Banned?

Generally speaking, setting off firecrackers is a traditional way for Chinese people to celebrate the festivals. I think firecrackers should be banned. There are two reasons for my choice. On the one hand, setting off firecrackers makes a tremendous noise and causes serous air pollution. Sometimes setting off firecrackers is also a big threat to man?s life and property. Many instances are reported that there are many fire accidents caused by firecrackers every year. From the point, it comes as no surprise that we should ban setting off the firecrackers without any hesitation. 35. Unemployment problems

Unemployment has become a serious problem in society. Perhaps you?ll question why those people have lost their jobs. As is known to us all, in the last these years, more and more talents have folded into cities. The places occupied by low-educated workers will certainly be replaced. Most obviously, many national companies which are composed of hundreds of employees are mow being driven out of business by those private and competitive companies once these companies are broken down, most of the employees may lose their job. I think it more advisable for the laid-off workers to find a new job. They can try looking for suitable job like shop assistants, security guards and so on. In short, the unemployment is not an end but a new beginning. 36. The Relationship between Teachers and Students

As the proverb says, “A great teacher produces a brilliant student.” This is unchangeable truth. In my opinion, a good relationship between teachers and students is becoming more and more important. There are several reasons for my opinion. To begin with, a good relationship between teachers and students can help us achieve the desired effect and it is an ideal pattern to all of us. Another reason is that if teachers and students cooperate well, it does good to both of them. Personal experience shows that in process of teaching an learning, a good relationship between a teacher and a student is important indeed. 37. Reading Classics

I think we should read some rewarding books such as classics. My argument for this view goes as follows. First, classics picture the wonder and beauty of nature. Another reason is that reading classics develops our sensitivity to beauty and best evokes the feeling of love, peace and understanding. Last, classics can strengthen our character and broaden our range of knowledge. For my part, I consider classics to be among the best of friends. They are the same today as they always were, and they will never change. They do not turn their back on us in times of difficulty.
