Travel Helps Promote Communication Between Countries
With the steady growth in the world's economy as well as the people's living standard, nowadays more and more people are able to afford to go to travel abroad. Thus people of different races and colors have more chances to meet each other and understand each other. Such activities among people help promote the understanding and communication between countries, which helps to make this world a better and more harmonious place.
Different countries are striving to develop their national tourism because tourism really has a lot of advantages. Firstly, beautiful scenery, attractive tourist spots and splendid culture allure tourists with different parts of the world, which provides many opportunities to promote exchanges among people from different backgrounds. For example, since the reform and opening-up, China, a country which has rich tourist resources, receives millions of foreign tourists every year. The frequent contacts between foreign tourists and Chinese people promote the exchanges of culture and science, creating international friendship and promoting deeper understanding and strengthening ties. Meanwhile this has accelerated the development of these countries. Secondly, travel enriches one's knowledge, widens one's vision and enhances mutual understanding. In the past, Chinese people knew little of the outside world. Since the reform and opening-up, with people's living standard greatly improved, more and more people have the chances to go abroad for sightseeing. Through traveling, we Chinese have expanded our scope of knowledge, and we have come to know the world better and have been learning how to develop our own country better. Thirdly, tourism boosts推进 local economy and promotes commercial exchanges. Singapore is such a good example. It is a small country with scarce natural resources. But owing to the prosperous tourism, the country's economy develops very well and it is named one of the four economic \
But some people say that tourism cannot work so well as people expect. They argue that the purpose of the tourists is just to enjoy sightseeing and in fact tourism has its disadventages. Firstly, tourism does great harm to the tranquility宁静 and sanitation卫生, 卫生设施 of the local place, and sometimes it even causes pollution to the naturel environment. Secondly, many tourists cannot even speak a word of the language of the country they are visiting. There is little possibility that they will have a deep understanding of the country in such a short period of time. Thirdly, during the trip, poor service and language barrier语言障碍 may even give rise to unwanted不必要的 misunderstanding. Also the tourists' wealth may make the local people more aware of their own poverty and lead to jealousy and psychological imbalance.

As the proverb goes, \with the advantages, disadvantages of tourism have become trivial things. It is important for a country to develop its tourism to upgrade its international position and at the same time promote global understanding to remove prejudice and bias. We should make good use of our rich tourist resources to make our motherland more beautiful and attract more foreign friends.
Co-education or Single-sex Schools2008年06月25日 星期三 11:17 A.M.In recent years, some people raise doubts about the practice of co-education. They think it is not a good idea for the overall development of our younger generation. They think all-boy or all-girl schools may be a better choice. You are going to write a composition on the following topic:Co-education or Single-sex Schools
Co-education or Single-sex Schools
Nowadays, we can often hear people complain that it is much more difficult to teach students of today. They create a lot of problems, which make adults very worried. Some people even raise doubts about the practice of co-education男女同校. They think that the problem may lie in our educational system. A girl school or a boy school may be a better choice. There are also people who firmly advocate提倡, 鼓吹 the practice of co-education. As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of赞同, 有利于 the latter opinion.
Co-education has a number of advantages. Above everything else, as we all know, the adult world is made up of male and female, so should the school be. Co-education helps one better know his/her social role so that one can easily adapt himself/herselp to the outside world. Secondly, co-education offers a good chance for male and female students to better understand one another, thus removing illusions and wrong impression of the opposite sex. The fact is that the more they are segregated from the opposite sex异性, the more curious they become about the opposite sex. Thirdly, co-education helps refrain students from忍住, 制止 indecent下流的, 猥亵的, <口>不象样的, 不妥当的 behaviors because of the presence of the opposite sex. According to an investigation conducted by some psychologists, students, both male and female, will pay more attention to their own speech and action with the opposite sex. They will be well-behaved行为端正的, 彬彬有礼的 and well-adjusted.
On the other hand, those who are against co-education have their own reasons. First of all, they maintain that there is a possibility of puppy love 早年初恋. Some teenagers are precocious早熟的 and they easily fall in love. Second, female students may suffer from discrimination and inequality. Thirdly, the co-education system cannot cater to the individual needs of students of both sexes. While in segregated schools, boys and girls can fully develop themselves to their own interest and abilities. In boy schools, boys can enjoy many courses specially designed for them while it is the same with girls in girl schools.

When advantages and disadvantages are put together, we can see that the advantages of co-education far outweigh its disadvantages. What we should do is to change our methods of teaching children when time changes so that we can keep up with the trend and let our children develop in a healthy way.
Social Activities----a Necessary Complement to College Life2008年06月25日 星期三 11:33 A.M.Social Activities----a Necessary Complement to College Life
Many university students are taking an active part in all kinds of club activities or sports on the campus, but quite a few other students dismiss拒绝接受 these activities as time-consuming耗时的 and useless. This phenomenon results from their different understanding of college life.
The 'pro-club' students regard participation of some social activities such as activities in clubs or societies as an important part of their college life while the 'anti-club' students focus their attention on studies rather than, as they put it, on recreation消遣, 娱乐 or entertainment.
In fact, clubs or sports mean much more than recreations or entertainment. They are a necessary complement补足 to college life, enriching the students life by engaging them in certain interesting activities. Furthemore, to take part in an art club, or say, a Project Hope Association will prevent the students from becoming book worms极爱读书的人,书呆子 and help them improve their skills in communicating with people, planning an activity or leading an organization.
It is reported that students who have engaged themselves in certain club activities or sports can easily adapt themselves to a new environment after they graduate from their universities. But it is a hard nut to crack棘手的问题 for those who have all the time been burying themselves in books.
Someone may argue by raising a problem of time. As a matter of fact事实上, time is not a problem so long as只要 we arrange it in a proper way .The key is how to improve the efficiency of study so as to使得, 以致 spare aome time for appropriate social activities.
However, it is safer to say that priority should be given to academic courses普通课程； 学术课程. Only on the premise that both energy and time are available, can we engage ourselves in certain club activities or sports.

What Do We Need: Physical Recreation or Intellectual Activities
Many people are inclined to倾向于 take active physical recreation, like sports, camping and fishing in their leisure time, while others would rather participate in more intellectual activities, like reading, listening to music, watching films and so on. Although it is unreasonable and impossible to tell which one is absolutely better than the other, in my opinion, it seems more advisable for the young people about 20~25 years old to take the latter which is in accordance with与...一致 their unique characteristics.
First, compared with physical activities, intellectual ones become more urgent and important. Since the young generation full of energy are at their highest points to learn and explore, there is no doubt that they should make full use of their golden age to enrich knowledge, cultivate their mind, broaden their vision, and develop their tastes. Thus, they will be more creative and contributive to the society as they set out to开始 their own careers.
Second, intellectual activities are more helpful for the young people to contact with their surroundings, of both the past and the present. For example, through reading one can learn about the wisdom and philosophy held by great figures in history, which may guide him to lead a more intelligent way of life. Watching films or listeniing to music can help a person grasp the contemporary当代的 cultural tendency and accordingly因此, 从而 keep pace with the fast-developing world. It is obvious that simple physical exercises cannot achieve all of these.
Of course, I want to make it clear that I don't mean physical activities are less helpful to life than intellectual ones. People should have their own choices on the basis of their different life styles, characters, hobbies and health. Yet, for the young people of my age, I suppose the latter will be more practical and meaningful.
Take more intellectual activities when you are young, which will benefit you for your whole life.
Is Originality Important in Language Learning2008年06月25日 星期三 01:12 P.M.Is Originality Important in Language Learning
In my opinion, originality创意, 新奇is not important in language learning. The reason why I think so is that language learning does not need originality as a vital condition条件.
Originality is less important to an English learner. A case in point恰当的例子 is in pronunciation. Every English learner has to spend a long and boring period of time on a large amount of大量 training of pronunciation. During those days, what students do is to try their best to imitate teacher's pronunciations about English words

and make the sound of them, and then repeat them time by time. To an English learner, the experience is of great use很有用 to improve his pronunciation. From this case we can see clearly the great importance of imitation or repetition rather than originality or creativity in the beginning of language learning.
Originality refers to creativity which amounts to changes, but there are many formed rules which cannot be changed in language, such as grammatical rules. We cannot create a new grammatical rule. It is the same that we cannot speak or write a language at will随意, 任意. If one who speaks English wants to make the other peopler understand him, he must speak it according to English grammar; otherwise nobody would understand him. Therefore, there is no originality in grammar learning of language.
I do not think originality is important in language learning. It does not follow that originality is useless. It is when one masters a language and learns to use it that originality could give him a great beneficial help.
Universality or Diversity2008年06月25日 星期三 01:33 P.M.At present many people think that one language should be used as the universal language世界语, but others think that by doing so the cultures of different nations will be lost.
Universality or Diversity
With the development of globalization, there are an increasing number of scholars these days who hold the opinion that we need a common language共同语 to be spoken by all the people in the world. However, other scholars are afraid that this will weaken other languages and cultures at the same time. As for me, I am not in favor of the viewpoint that one language should replace others as the universal one.
Nowadays it is universally acknowledged公认的 that language is not only a tool of communication but also a kind of art. Each language, no matter what kind of language it is, has its unique pronunciation, grammar and expressions, which contribute to the diversity多样性 of the world. Therefore, if the diverse languages are diminished, our world will become less colorful.
We can say that language is part of culture, and plays a considerably相当地 important role in culture. Indeed, some social scientists consider it the keystone重点, 要旨 of culture. Without language, so the argument goes, culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture; it reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises包含, 由...组成 their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their ways of living and thinking. Cultures differ from one another, and each culture is unique. There is no denying that it will be a disaster for us to see the world's diverse cultures disappear one by one.
