Dear Zhang Hua,

I am so excited to receive your letter telling me that you have passed the college entrance examination and will soon go to a local university. All your efforts and hard-work are eventually paid back. Congratulations.

I do hope you will study hard in the future because knowledge and skills are of great significance in today’s world. For one thing, the world is developing so fast, we can only keep up with its pace by acquiring more knowledge to broaden our horizons. For another, the development of our country is in great need for people with knowledge and skills. Besides, only those with specialized skills are able to win in the competitive job market.

Once you are armed with knowledge and skills, you are sure to realize your dreams. I would like to suggest that you try all means to acquire knowledge and skills in college and put them into practice.

2. How Should We Spend Our College Time

How should college students spend their time? Opinions vary from person to person. Some are willing to devote time and energy to extracurricular activities. They argue that taking part in some school activities can help them broaden their horizons and develop skills of cooperation and communication, which will benefit their future career. Besides, they believe that “all work and no play make Jack a dull boy”, so it is necessary to participate in some school activities to recharge their batteries.

Others, however, prefer spending their time in studying. In their views, the competition of modern society is becoming increasingly intense. They must study hard to acquire as much academic knowledge as possible, and those who have extensive knowledge will have a brighter future.

As everything has its strength and weakness, spending college life is no exception. I hold the view that these two ideas are both correct. Surely, students should study hard, but school activities are also very important. Therefore, I suggest that college students learn how to arrange college time. On one hand, they should study hard; on the other hand, they should spare(抽出) some time to participate in school activities.

3. How to Get Along with Roommates

Last Sunday, two of my roommates got into a serious fight because of a trifle. Now they are still very angry with each other and no one wants to apologize first.

The story is not rare. Nowadays, many college students are not able to get along with their roommates, which does considerable harm to both their college lives and their future development. On one hand, quarreling and fighting ruin the friendly atmosphere, making dorms unpleasant places to stay in; on the other hand, if a person is not able to establish good relationships with his roommates, it is hard for him to develop other interpersonal relationships which are important for his future development.

Therefore, I advise those students to take it seriously. And the following are some of my

suggestions. First, respect your roommates, thus you can also win respect from them. Second, if your roommates encounter difficulties, try to help them out, so that they will appreciate your help. Finally, don not talk about other’s affairs behind their backs. These are certainly not the only points you should pay attention to. But I am sure if you are willing to follow them, you will get along well with your roommates.

4. A Memorable Trip

Last summer vacation, my friends and I went to Huangshan for a tour. It’s a trip full of surprises to every one of us.

The 21 hours of train traveling was tiring; however, we all became excited at the announcement of the arrival of Huangshan station. We decided to climb Huangshan the next day, because we were warned it would be very energy-consuming. The first part of the climbing was boring, with stairs after stairs ahead. Hardly had we arrived at the first resting spot when it started to pour, and our hearts sank. Surprisingly, half an hour later, the sun emerged from the clouds. As the sky turned bright blue, we were amazed at the spectacular view of the mountain range, sea of clouds, and pine trees in the fog. All exhaustion vanished all of a sudden(突然地), and we were jumping and cheering. For the rest of the trip, we were deeply impressed by more fantastic rocks and fancy pine trees.

I started to understand better the saying that life is full of things beyond any expectation, just like the trip we had at Huangshan. Splendid views were waiting for us after our great efforts.

5. Competition or Cooperation

Recently a debate has been arising upon competition or cooperation, which should be stressed in college students’ education. Opinions vary greatly.

Some people claim that college students should learn how to compete. From their point of view, competition exists everywhere in our modern society and people can hardly avoid it. Thus a course of competition is needed to help college students build up enough courage to face up to all difficulties they may encounter in the workplace or in their personal lives.

However, others believe it is more useful to learn how to cooperate. Their opinion is that nowadays it is hard for a person to succeed if he lacks team spirit or does not know how to cooperate with others. For example, if a man wants to win a football game, he has to cooperate with his playmates. He can’t win by himself. So learning how to cooperate with others should be stressed .

As for myself, I believe that both competition and cooperation are indispensable(二者缺一不可) for leading a normal social life. Because in most circumstances, we can see competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. Therefore, both essential skills should be put forward to educate college students.

6. Seeking Help

Confronted with difficulties, we will naturally seek help from people around us. We will turn to our parents when we need their help to support our schooling and daily necessities. We will seek help from our teachers for learning problems, and discussing all sorts of questions and doubts. Certainly, we will ask our friends for help, sharing bitter as well as happy experience.

Recently, I learn from others that one of my classmates is in trouble, since his family is in poverty and can hardly support him to finish college. I suggest that he reports his situation to the school, especially the finance aiding office. The school must have relevant policy to help students with financial problems. Secondly, he should let the teacher in charge of his class know about his situation so that both teachers and students around him can offer a hand in some ways. Of course, he can also become more independent to aid himself by taking a part-time job at leisure time.

7. How Should We Treat Wild Animals?

As is known in the table, the period of 1980-2004 witnessed great changes in the population of both chirus(藏羚,长角羚) and pet dogs in a big city in China. While the number of pet dogs remarkably speeded up by 50 times under the care of human beings, the number of chirus sharply decreased from 1 million to 100 thousand just due to man’s greedy hunting for money.

What is revealed in the table shocks me greatly because I think we human beings are placing ourselves into a dangerous situation by this behavior. As is known to many people, to sustain the development of humankind, we must maintain the balance of ecological system to which every species makes its own contribution. The excessive killing of(过度捕猎) some species will undoubtedly destroy the ecological balance in the long run and thus endanger the existence of human beings ourselves. Therefore, I suggest that every individual devote efforts to keep the diversity of animals and that we protect wild animals in the way we take care of our pet dogs. Otherwise, man will not only destroy nature, but also end his own life.

8. Rent Off Campus

Recently, a piece of news caught my sight reporting that some universities forbad undergraduate students to rent off campus. The news arouses arguments among my friends who present varied opinions. Some who are for the regulation claims that undergraduate students should live on campus where they can concentrate on their study and college life. While, those who are against the regulation hold that the university has no right to forbid the students to rent off campus .When they do so, students can live independently and enjoy more freedom.

Personally, I don’t think it advisable for the university to set such a regulation; however, I do believe undergraduate students can benefit from renting on campus. First of all, no one can deny that it is far cheaper and convenient to live on campus. In addition, students won’t be distracted by lots of housework.. What’s more, there are a variety of activities at evenings on campus, through which students can show their talents or exchange ideas or view with their teachers. In short, renting on campus has more advantages over renting off campus.
