For teachers, the role they play should be more inclined to helping students in learning with efficiency. This is why we need teachers to guide us in academia in spite of the fact that they might not be liked by most of the students. Learning prevails over（if a person, idea, or principle prevails in a fight, argument etc, they are successful in the end）popularity at school for teachers. Thus, in my opinion, it is really arduous for teachers to make their students like them and meanwhile also be able to assist them in effective learning at school.
To begin with, effective learning is always involved with the hard time. If a teacher helps his or her students to learn effectively, it means the aim of the teaching can be measured in a certain period of time. In other words, students need to be concentrated and serious, stopping making fun of each other like most young students do. This means teachers have an object to complete and usually within a set period of time during which students will be forced to learn and perceive the class material. Under such learning environment, it is not probable to make students like the teachers. Take math as an example. Most students dislike this subject; if teachers want all their students learn multiplication table effectively, they need to pressure students into paying attention to the class, admonishing（if a person, idea, or principle prevails in a fight, argument etc, they are successful in the end） them to learn it by heart in the class time. With stress, a majority of students will not agree much with what the teacher does in the class. Students will certainly grumble（to keep complaining in an unhappy way） and dislike what the teachers do. Moreover, if they have hard time finishing this class task on time, they might be punished. The complaints they have can in turn go to the teachers in the end. Thus, it is not easy for a teacher to be able to effectively assist students and to be popular at the same time, of which the two behaviors are contradictory in many aspects.
Secondly, students always like teachers who can make them feel at ease. It is almost impossible for teachers to help students effectively for their learning in a happy way. To be more concise, learning is not all fun and relaxing because we are absorbing new things, which might engage us in memorizing and in focusing. Take high school and elementary school students as examples. Most students go to school for fun, for meeting up their friends and for making friends they like. Of course, they also go to school for learning new things; however, if the teacher wants to effectively help the students learn new things in the class, the fun and relaxing time will be shrunk. For instance, in the mid-terms or finals, teachers are more serious and affirmative. Students do not like such learning environment as well as the teachers at that specific period of time. Therefore, how can a teacher be popular among students if he or she carries out the effective learning target in the class? The two elements are difficult to be achieved at the same time.
Admittedly, some people may claim that it is not difficult for teachers to be liked by students and still be able to help them effectively in learning. A great teacher can also produce a way in which students can be helped effectively and the teacher can also be liked. It is the teaching approach the teacher adopts that affects the whole learning. Human beings have been made attempts to come up with a solution that they can, as the proverb puts it “Kill two birds with one stone” A noble idea it is, the ambition of reaching a perfect outcome is the power of civic advancement for sure. However, it does not fit into the category of education. People need to make sacrifices in leaning. When the mission of such learning falls on teachers, they will of course try to make it easily absorbed to students. Yet when the latter mission cannot be reached, the teacher has to target on helping students learn effectively no matter students like them or not. Thus, I agree with the prompt - It is difficult for teachers to be both popular and effective to help students in learning.

Some see sports as something with little application to everyday life. Sports, they say, are at best good for keeping you fit. But I disagree. Sports can teach us many lessons that can applied to life in general.
The most obvious lesson a sport can teach us is the value of teamwork—at least, team sports can teach us this. When I was a teenager I played lacrosse and soccer, and I learned that a team either works together or it fails together. When people were focused on supporting each other and complimenting each other’s skills, we played exceptionally. But when egos started to rule and people became focused on how many points they scored, the team’s performance took a nosedive. Even star players cannot carry a team if no one is willing to assist them. In team sports, as in many situations in life, great things are usually only be achieved when a group of people works harmoniously towards the same goal.
Sports can also teach us about how to deal with failure. I remember the first loss I experienced as a soccer player. Our team had won the first three games of the season, and about 10 minutes from the end of our fourth match, our team was up two points and victory seemed inevitable. Then the unthinkable happened—over the next five minutes, the opponent recovered and scored three goals, then successfully defended their lead until the end of the match. The loss devastated our team, and as we approached next match our spirits were low. But our coach reminded us that failure is an integral part of growth, and that we needed to analyze what we did wrong so that we could emerge even stronger than before. After reviewing the tapes and revising our strategy, we came back to play a successful season. And the next time we played the team that defeated us, we beat them 3-0. Even the best of teams will lose a game now and then. Sports taught me that the important thing is to pick yourself up afterwards and keep going.
Finally, sports can teach us things the concept of “sportsmanship.” Life is filled with moments of competition. Some deal with this by seeing competitors as enemies. Others will use competition as a justification for doing anything it takes to win. But playing sports has taught me a better way. You can know that someone is your competitor, but still respect and admire them. And you can put your all into winning a competition without resorting to questionable means. I remember one lacrosse game against a tough opponent. At one point it looked like we had fouled the opponent, but despite the other team lagging behind, they decided not to call the foul. We were so moved that after the game, we took them out to pizza and became friends with the team.
Sports can actually teach us much about life. Through sports, we learn the value of teamwork, the right way to deal with failure, and how to conduct ourselves honorably in relation to competitors. These are all invaluable lessons.

It is not uncommon that modern people are fully occupied with their work with little time left for relaxation. Thus, during the precious limited spare time, it is said that they should do something related to their own hobbies and physical activities instead of things connected with their work anymore, which, I totally agree with and this standpoint will be illustrated by the following two aspects.
To begin with, never should we ignore the necessity of developing our hobbies and make them different from work. The so-called hobby means the consciousness tendency of a person striving for a specific thing or activity and consequently, gain pleasure or satisfaction from them, which results in the motivation of high work efficiency and quality. For example, a sports fan may forget about the trouble at work when immersing in the joy of his favorite team’s championship. Similarly, a young man whose favorite is singing may feel stress-free after staying for several hours in Karaoke. Thus, on the one hand, it is a wise choice not to make hobbies as work, which would eventually lead to a dull and uninteresting life with the hobby being ruined in daily work. On the other hand, balancing the hobby and work well is of crucial significance to a person’s life as the relaxation and pleasure gained from hobby provides impetus of high work efficiency.
Moreover, the fact that doing physical activities do good to a person’s physical condition and mental state makes them a pivotal part of life apart from work. With increasingly significant pressure and heavy workload, it is, between times, reported that workers suffer from sudden death after excessively long working hours. Thus, physical activities, under this circumstance, seem irreplaceable in terms of strengthening working people’s physique. In addition, it is proven by science that exercise, beyond making a person more fit, also brings out the release of endorphins, compounds that give the person a sense of well-being and satisfaction in the brain. Thus, instead of taking up more time, doing physical activities in spare time is complementary of work by activating and refreshing workers.
All in all, according to the aforementioned discussion, it is safely concluded that different from working, doing things related to hobbies and physical activities is a wiser approach for workers to relax.

There would be many problems in our daily life and how to solve them becomes a concerned topic by the public. Some people may argue that people are able to solve them on their own. However, from my perspective, it would be necessary to turn to the government for solutions in most cases.
Firstly, when it comes to environmental pollution, it could only be resolved with the help of the government. Specifically speaking, so limited is the power of ordinary individuals that they are not capable of offering effective solutions. For instance, haze has gradually become a spectacular symbol of Beijing in winter and it causes huge trouble for citizens. However, people can do nothing but wear the mask and still go to work, exposed to a foggy world. Luckily, the government noticed the great harm done by the air pollution in last several years and launched a series of policies to prevent the decrease of air quality. Banning vehicles, shutting down those factories discharging chemical pollutants and calling upon its citizens to reduce the consumption of fuel are all put in effect by the government, playing a significant role in shaping a better environment. Haze started to go away last year. Also, global warming is a huge threat to human beings because of various unwanted consequences, such as rising sea level and climatic change. However, ordinary citizens cannot do anything to prevent power plant from burning coals to generate electricity and keep factories from discharging pollutants into water. Only by investing to the research of new energy can those environmental problems be resolved. Obviously, the government should take the responsibility of reducing environmental pollution.
Secondly, as for traffic jams, common individuals are also unable to stop them from happening. Though some people might say people can change their way of traveling from driving private vehicles to using public transportation tools, such a social problem still remains unresolved. The most effective solution is to develop public transportation system. For instance, with the investment from the government, roads can be widened and more overpasses can be built to satisfy the demand of more vehicles. Also, the service quality of public transportation still needs to be raised by the government. Many citizens are reluctant to take bus or subway primarily because of the long waiting line during rush hours and extremely limited space on the bus or subway. Apparently, it would be a practical solution for the government to increase bus or subway lines to solve the need of such a huge number of passengers every day. Additionally, what the government is most favor of is to limit the number of automobiles according to the license plate number and that also plays a part in reducing traffic pressure. Therefore, traffic congestion is another daily issue that could only be resolved by the government.
Admittedly, some people might insist on the fact there are at least many things that should be resolved by themselves. For instance, children are addicted to video games and parents should prevent their children from developing those unfortunate behaviors. It appears to be sensible, however, the government can, actually, take some actions to avoid such a behavior. For example, the government can issue relative laws and regulations to force IT companies to install some programs to limit the time consumed by children on those video games designed by them. Glory of King, a popular game among teenagers, would stop children from logging on if they spend more than 2 hours on the game. Therefore, under most circumstances, individuals should trust and turn to the government for help since it is the government’s responsibility to resolve what might trouble us.
In a word, turning to the government is necessary in most cases. As is discussed above, environmental pollution, traffic jam and even education all need to be dependent on the government. (641 words )

The creed of being efficient and quick has been adopted as many corporations’ theme that is considered to be consistent with the fast pace of current society. Thus, how to raise employees’ work enthusiasm and improve their work efficiency is the consideration of top priority by every employer. Among the three given options, reminding employees of rewarding, providing a tranquil work surrounding and assigning them work that they truly fancy, I am in favor of quiet environment as it affects both workers’ state of mind and health condition, which decides their work efficiency both directly and indirectly.
To begin with, only if an employee fully concentrates on a task can the work efficiency be improved, which is directly affected by the work environment surrounding him or her. No matter whether it is sound from automobile engine and horns, drilling machines down or upstairs, or the loud chatting and gossiping from colleagues around, when a quiet work environment disappears, hardly can an employee focus on what he or she is working on, or this even disrupts the whole process of work a person planed. Imagine when an accountant is busy completing an annual report of the company and immersing himself in a series of capitals on an Excel table, even a loud laughter would distract his or her thinking and discontinue the work.
In addition, a quiet environment affects employees’ mood and health, which indirectly influences their productivity. It is not hard to understand that only if people feel at ease can they be more efficient doing what they are obliged to. It is proven by science that different levels of noise pose corresponding threats on people’s physical conditions. For example, people would suffer from headache and sleep problems when surrounded with noise of 80-85 db and raged or tired easily if the noise rises up to 90-100db. What is worse, staying in the environment where one is exposed to noise of 100-120db would cause insomnia, memory deterioration and so forth. Thus, how could employees be expected to work efficiently with physical and mental health both being threatening by exterior noise in the work environment?
Admittedly, the other two options are seemingly effective. Rewarding can motivate employees and people are inclined to perform well in what they truly enjoy. However, on the one hand, rewarding is not a permanent or fundamental approach. Namely, employees are more likely to be greedy and dissatisfied with the rewarding soon and thus, they may ask for rising the rewarding, which undoubtedly adds extra costs for a company. On the other hand, even though a person does something he or she is interested in, a tranquil work environment is also the basic premise if he or she is supposed to accomplish the task quickly with high quality.
To conclude, it is a wise decision for employers to create a quiet environment for employees in consideration of improving their work efficiency. This is an effective and long-lasting approach that guarantees both employees’ concentration on work and their health condition.

The moment of graduation and awarding diploma is precious for every student as it is exactly what they are fighting for and looking forward to. Imagine if you are at the last semester on campus, whether to take courses taught by professors that you have taken their courses in the past or by professors that are unfamiliar to you? Personally, I would rather study with the professors that I am quite familiar with on account of better communication and shorter adapting time.
To begin with, a familiar professor more likely provides more assistance in or out of class. Having taken the professor’s courses, the mutual understanding between the teacher and student has been established and thus, the communication is apt to be much easier. What is more, in addition to academic studies, consulting a professor you are acquainted with about the issues of graduation is much more accessible. Professor Yang, an expert in business administration of my college, acts like both an intimate friend and a mentor in my life. After my 4 years’ of work period, he still assists me at no time whenever I turn to him for help. If there was another chance to study back to university, I would choose his course without any hesitation.
Aside from more assistance from an acquainted professor, less time saved from adapting could be taken good advantage of for graduation preparation. It is not difficult to understand that each professor demonstrates unique teaching style together with various requirements or criteria for their specific courses and assignments. Thus, one can soon get accustomed to the course arrangement, including the professor’s teaching pattern, how to preview or review as well as when to ask for help from the professor. The less time spent on adjusting oneself to a totally new course and a professor, the more time left to prepare for graduation.
Admittedly, new professors may bring brand new teaching methodology and wider range of knowledge. Plus, they may probably befriend students. However, during the busy senior year, academic study is just a part of campus life. Apart from this, more affairs concerning graduation on agenda should be tackled with which occupy more time and energy, including diploma project and internship. Studying a new course with a new professor undoubtedly creates a huge challenge with more burden and pressure on students, which distracts them or even disrupts their schedule.
To put it in a nutshell, if I was in the last year of university life and faced with choosing a course, I would prefer to study with the professor that had taught me before. In this way, not only is the professor better to communicate with and provides my help in or out of class, but also, during the last period of university life, studying with a familiar expert would make everything on calendar in order, which guarantees a memorable university life and successful graduation.

Regarding which age stage to explore new area, people have diverse and even diametrically opposite views. Some people support the view that learning new things enables the old to acquire more new knowledge, like searching the Internet for News. However, if the youth have the courage to take risks, such brave behavior definitely helps them grasp a great many rare and precious opportunities. In the ultimate analysis, I surely support the late opinion that the young man can benefit more from running risks.
When it comes to study, students who would like to take chances are more likely to become more outstanding. As is known to all, juveniles not only lack the practical experience, but also are consumed with curiosity. Undoubtedly, once students choose to learn more extracurricular knowledge through traveling to strange countries or participating in some unfamiliar outdoor activities, one of the obvious benefits is that they are able to learn much more about how to deal with some emergencies and how to cooperate with their team members smoothly. That rewarding experience is truly beneficial for them to learn more distinctive foreign culture and improve the practical abilities. Therefore, students who integrate both the knowledge obtained from the teacher and experience learnt from some challenging risks into the process of study can gradually be more excellent.
Of equal importance is the belief that young employees do profit from taking risks. Specifically, it is conceivable that the young man will get a promotion and a raise by exploring some unknown territories. For example, when a manager assigns some difficult projects, young workers who can seize the chance decisively can communicate with sophisticated clients or negotiate with skilled competitors or cooperate with experienced colleagues who have a high standard to teammates, thus contributing to gaining more precious working experience. There is no denying that because of accumulating more experience and coming into contact with bright workmates, young employees are capable of rising to the challenges in the working place and then achieve success with prepared minds.
It is widely acknowledged that rising to the challenges exerts positive influence on young people’s daily life. To add more details, keeping exploration about what ways to make life more meaningful assists them to widen the horizon since the risks are always filled with obstacles and stumbling block. In order to solve problems, the young will search the Internet for effective information and consult their acquaintances for help, which enables them to obtain more achievements and strengthen the relationship with the families and friends. As it turns out (=used to say what happened in the end), the more the young are encouraged to try new things, the more colorful their life will become. Nevertheless, to purse some risky things such as starting a new business or keeping with the times(紧跟时代) to learn how to use electronic devices possibly brings quite a considerable amount of pressure to the old people. Thus, it is wise for them to enjoy a peaceful and stable life rather than challenge the elders themselves.
From what has been discussed above, I actually hold the view that taking risks allows the young especially the students and the young workers to gain knowledge and improve competence, and consistently forces them to grow and to be diligent. Without risks and new things, they could not be passionate and aggressive as well as glamorous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conventional wisdom generally believes that it is easier for young people to be exposed to innovative ideas and new concepts so that they can catch up with the current news and most up to date information. Elders, on the other hand, are supposed to relax and enjoy their retirement to the fullest extent. However, I have a totally different perspective on this issue and tend to believe that older people need to explore new things more than young people.
Admittedly, young people are generally healthier and more energetic than the elders, hence it is more likely for them to come up with new ideas and perspectives than elders. Indeed, as we can tell that professionals in different fields like scientists, business men, lawyers tend to have be more competitive and sharper when they are at a young age, actually, research shows that the average age of billionaires is well below 40. Nonetheless, it is more important for elders to stay touch with the latest trend and continue their lifelong learning.
First and foremost, continued learning makes it possible for elders to stay in touch with the currents and build a deeper connection with younger family members. The only thing that doesn't change in today's world is change itself, new electronic gadgets, innovative treatment to cure incurable diseases, creative business ideas and approaches that are unthinkable in the past, you name it. It can be disastrous if elders stop being an active learner and retreat to the primitive mindset. For instance, young people are fond of new electronic devices like iPad, iPhone and stuff, and they use these gadgets to stay in touch with their peers and families. If a grandpa has not even heard of twitter or Instagram, it will be impossible for the two generations to stay connected.
Additionally, a host of research done by a world-famous psychiatrist show that elders who give up learning and have no access to new ideas tend to suffer from dementia and Alzheimer. On the other hand, other search shows that elders who keep learning will stay in touch with the world and are healthier both physically and mentally. Based on my personal experience, I find elders around who are willing to learn and embrace new things are less dependent on their families and tend to be better connected with their children and grandchildren. Plus, they are more creative and productive when they access their frontal lobe and avoid their primitive mindset. Staying active and keeping exploring new things make it possible for seniors to seek for the true meaning and value of life, which in turn will inspire and motivate younger generation to take risks and accept challenges in life.
In a nutshell, we can safely draw the conclusion that it is better for elders to take risks and explore in new endeavors than the younger generations since it helps elders reconnect with their families and makes them more independent, productive and inspirational.

三选一: Which one government should fund to improve children’s education?
1. hire more teachers to teach in a small class
2. preschool education before kindergarten
3. to provide some training courses so that teachers can be more professional
1.学前教育很有必要可以帮助孩子塑造良好的性格（扩展思路：父母的繁忙，孩子性格培养的重要性）；2.学前教育可以有助于培养和提高孩子各方面的能力，为以后的学习工作做铺垫（解决问题的能力，独立思考的能力，与人相处的能力） 3.让步：其他两种也很有必要：雇佣更多老师可以全方位得更专注地教育孩子；提高老师专业能力可以帮助他们改进教学方法； 然而，教育的主体从来都是学生，而学前教育恰恰是一个人一生中最重要的性格、能力塑造和培养阶段，所以普及学前教育才能从根本上让学生甚至整个社会受益。
Key sentences:
1. Preschool education can help to mold children’s character.
2. Preschool education can benefit the cultivation of some basic abilities for children.
3. Certainly, hiring more teachers can be beneficial to children’s better and well-rounded development for the individual teacher’s more attention and concentr ationon students ; providing training classes can enha nce teachers’professional skills that be conducive to students both mentally and intellectually.
This is a skeptical age, but although our faith in many of the things in which our forefathers fervently believed has weakened, our confidence in the benefits of education remains the same as theirs. So as long as the issue that which area should governments fund to improve teaching quality is involved, people tend to show positive attitude towards preschool education. However, I, with more discretion, insist that we can ill afford to determine this matter once and for all, since countries with different background should be taken into account.
Without doubt, by no means are we supposed to neglect the fact that in some cases preschool education plays an important role in strengthening the teaching quality, especially when we take develop nations into account. Considering that education system remains several parts including preschool education, basic education, higher education and continuing education，establishing such a huge system needs a huge amount of money. In addition, it’s a truth universally acknowledged that the education a person receives in childhood is the foundation of his future academic and career life，and therefore laying great emphasis on preschool education will yield profound profits. Examples abound in this world among which the experience of the US government is a case in point. The budget on education of the US, one of the wealthiest countries，tops the world. Every President of the US allocates 10% of K-12 education budget on kindergarten, which effectively relieve the teaching pressure of primary school and substantially improve the teaching quality of K12.
To my certain knowledge though investment on preschool education boosts the teaching quality, it’s irrational for us to take it for granted that it’s correct under all circumstances, particularly for those undeveloped countries. To be specific, there’s no denying that governments of undeveloped nations have limited budgets, as a result of which policy makers have to strike a balance between expenditure and effect. If governments of undeveloped countries allocate proper budgets on training teachers, the chances are that students are able to receive better education and governments do not have to spend too much money. Sudan is a case in point. As poorest nation in the north Africa, Sudan is still facing such problems: famine, soaring unemployment rate, and obsolete infrastructures. Obviously, Sudan government cannot afford the whopping expenditure of establishing well-rounded preschool education. In order to enhance education in whole, training teachers is an affordable Band-Aid solution.
Based on the aforementioned analysis, we can come to a conclusion safely that the answer to this question depends on the specific situation of countries. For developed countries, investing on preschool education is a wise choice. However, when undeveloped nations are involved, governments are supposed to fund on training teachers.

College education has always been people’s highly concerned topic in our society. The decisive factor which could determine students’ success in university is still a puzzle among us. Some individuals consider the support from friends and parents as the most significant element, while others regard outstanding tutors as the vital one. Nevertheless, from my own perspective, receiving excellent education in senior school should rank as the top one. My view point is based on the following reasons and details.
分论点+展开句+例证
On the one hand, good studying habits formed in high school would play an important role through students’ college years. Learning methods with great efficiency and effectiveness will benefit juveniles for a long time, casting a positive and profound influence on the rest of their lifetime, let alone their college years. For example, an effective method of taking notes formed in kids’ high school years can still be helpful in his college time. The student who always gets full GPA in our class has a well-organized note-taking system containing a set of symbols and patterns. During lectures, it is easy for him to take down what the professor wants to convey to us and represent that information in the form of a mind map, which is quite convenient for himself to review and remember after class. In contrast, the notes taken by me looks like a mess—during the class, I usually just write down the words that lecturer said without any organization. Therefore, it will cost me lots of time to collate the stuff I scribbled on paper before exams. If I had also developed efficient noting habits in my senior high school tears, it would be advantageous for my college study.
分论点+展开句+例证
On the other hand, knowledge got from high school can serve as a solid basis for courses in universities. Young people who have adequate academic accumulation will certainly be more competitive than their peers in college. For instance, I once heard my uncle, a financial professor in a local university, talking about the students choosing his accounting course. During their first semester, it was common for those pupils to be divided into two groups. Students with a profound mathematical basis set up during their high school years would always perform well in the final, while others who had difficulty in understanding math rules might continue being trapped in tough situation in complicated accounting study. My uncle explained to me that a good accountant should first occupy outstanding calculating capacity, for students’ math level would directly influence their ability to grasp professional accounting knowledge. Obviously, the young previously received a higher-quality fundamental education may have much more chance to be successful in their college major.
结尾段：重述总论点+重述分论点
To conclude, compared with tutors’ academic level and warm relationship with surrounding people, I suppose that rightful behaving patterns acquired during high-school years is actually the most fundamental factor. During this period, children can learn to form favorable studying habits as well as skillfully obtain knowledge of certain basic subjects. Thus, this advantage will lead to their future success in college.

Nowadays, an increasing number of citizens are discussing the recent launch of Shenzhou carrier rocket. While there are some people who claim that this kind of launch is a waste of money or time because it could not bring any benefits for citizens, I hold a different opinion. From my perspective, space exploration is necessary.
Admittedly, space travel or space exploration would waste a large sum of money. By spending much money on doing research regarding outer space life, government loses their focus on civil life where many people are suffering from starvation, air pollution and epidemics. Under this circumstance, there is no doubt that people would complain about government’s aloft behaviors. However, if viewing from a different angle, space exploration is a long-time investment. Never should we expect the journey would bring immediate economic returns to the country. In this case, space travel and space exploration are quite helpful for the country.
To begin with, space exploration might bring benefits for us to search for new energy resource. That is to say, other planets may be rich in certain kinds of resources that are in great shortage on the earth. According to the report released after the exploration to the Mars, the officials from NASA confirms that Mars contains a great volume of natural gas and iron. Moreover, engineers have also noticed that these resources on the planet are able to explore, and if they could solve the problem of long-time transportation, these resources could be used on the earth. Consequently, the use of natural gas will not consume burning of petroleum and make our planet a better place to live in.
In addition, space exploration aims to improve level of technology. In other words, it is the development of advanced technology that makes it possible to explore the outer space. It is usually the case that without the technology of launching satellite into the space, it is impossible for people to conduct research. As a result, scientists have to improved their knowledge in related areas so that they could guarantee the launch of these rockets, as well as satellites. Meanwhile, to ensure astronauts’ safety in the outer space, scientists have to repeated work on their suits in order to keep astronauts away from radioactivity. Also, to fill with enough oxygen, scientists have to run encapsulation tests again and again. Only if these equipment are guaranteed can astronauts be safely working in the outer space.
To sum up, the seemly useless space exploration would cost a large sum of money; however, this space activity could still bring benefits in both new energies searching and technology improvement.

With the development of modern society, having meals together with one’s family members has been regarded less and less important. Some people argue that it is not necessary for adults and kids to share their dinner time as a routine. They list a couple of situations where individuals have various kinds of reasons to miss a united meal, such as the one that parents may come home very late due to their busy work. However, in my perspective, spending time with each other at the dinner table has its own benefits and should be followed by us. My reasons and examples are listed as follows.
On the one hand, having meals together on a regular basis can help parents spend adequate time accompanying their children. During the daytime, adults in a family will be at work and the young will have classes in school. So usually it is the precious chance for the grown-ups to pay attention to their kids’ life, communicating with them and offering some advice to their puzzles. Take Black Obama, the former president of America as an example. Mr. and Mrs. Obama both had a tight schedule every day when Mr. Obama was in his presidency. In addition, Mrs. Obama, as a diligent lawyer, also needed to invest lots of time in her career. Nevertheless, this outstanding couple never missed their dinner with two daughters. Mr. Obama once told the media that during their meal time, nothing political or severe would be talked about; instead, their topics were all around ordinary things happening in kids’ school life, such as how to communicate with peers or the way to accomplish a composition. The reason why this couple is able to sustain this habit is they think it is one of the best methods to ensure their caring towards their daughters.
On the other hand, eating delicious food together in a fixed time can serve as a bridge for parents to teach their kids health eating habits. As an old saying goes, ‘You are what you eat.’ It tells us that whether or not the meal we eat is healthy may have a significant impact on our body condition, especially for the young one with a growing body. With regularly dinner together, the grown-ups can deliver some knowledge to their children. During my primary school years, my father insisted that we should have dinner together every week day in order to give advice to our eating. I still remember at that time, beef and pork were initially my favorite while I had no interests in vegetables.

When we open a webpage and scan the contents on it, it is easily for us to realize that there are always some people standing beside us while others remain against. Some people prefer to totally ignore the ideas opposite from theirs because they find them to be stupid and annoying information. However, in my opinion, it is usually beneficial for us to input some views different from us. My view point is based on the following reasons and examples.
To begin with, opinions varying from our own thoughts can sometimes help open up our minds. As we all know, when facing with a puzzle, methods delivered by one person are often limited, for one cannot acquire knowledge of various subjects during his short lifetime. Thus, makes accepting ideas from others essential during the process of dealing with tough questions. For example, when I was still a college student, I once needed to write a paper of Freud’s theory. I chose dream interpretation as my topic and started my writing. Unfortunately, I stuck half way when I wrote almost 2000 words. The thing making me in a dilemma was I suddenly realize that my paper was just a copy of psychoanalysis theory and hardly contained anything original because I was a faithful follower of these masters. Luckily, several days before the deadline, I read through some ideas from a group of anti-psychoanalysis scholars. They proposed that some of Freud’s theory cast an over-pessimistic view on human nature and rejected the theory that people were all animal-like beings motivated by basic needs. These comments gave me inspirations to study Freud’s theory from a new perspective. In this case, listening to those opposite views indeed help me to finish my academic task.
Moreover, the ability to detect and understand other people’s ideas is precious and sometimes even necessary in some kinds of jobs. Individuals majoring in marketing, media, or several kinds of service industry especially need this skill. Collecting and accepting various opinions may be regarded as a necessity if they want to have a successful career life. Take the mobile phone sales as an example. Working staff with a high sales volume are always the ones good at finding and responding to customers’ needs. In contrast, some sales person lacking this ability probably find it very tough to promote items to their customers. When a young lady steps into the store and expresses that she would like to buy a mobile phone with high-definition camera, salesclerk who is good at accepting other’s ideas will immediately hand her the one she likes, while some stubborn ones may recommend her to try their newest type repeatedly regardless of her special demand for the camera. Reading through news different from our own can exercise our ability to understand other’s thoughts, which may lead to the future benefits in our career.
To sum up, it is essential for us to receive some opinions distinguished or totally opposite from our standing point. It can not only help us to broaden our mind and deliver some useful ideas, but also to effectively catch other people’s needs and would be favor of some jobs related to marketing.

Due to high level of consumptions, young people can usually find themselves stuck in financial deficit. In this case, how to cut down living expenses obviously become an important problem. Some say they may change their mobile phone in a much lower frequency while others propose that they are more willing to cook by themselves in order to save money. However, I consider renting an apartment with a roommate can be the best solution. My view point is based on the following reasons and examples.

To begin with, living with a roommate can help us save much more money than cutting down costs in buying new electric devices or cooking at home. The expense of house renting is higher than the money spending on eating stuff or purchasing mobile phone. Take the young working in Shanghai as an example. Renting fees in Shanghai can reach 5,000 RMB to 7000 RMB in average if young people want to live in some convenient districts rather than in some remote areas. If they find a roommate and get the rent shared, he or she can save at least 2,500 RMB per month. When it comes to saving money by stop buying new mobile phone or quitting eating outside, one may only save several hundred RMB one month. So, it will be much more effective if one find a roommate to reduce his or her costs on renting than on cellphone or food.

In addition, living with another individual can not only lesson one’s financial pressure in renting fees, but also save money in other aspects. Roommates can share furniture or tools together. For example, when I was just graduate from university, I choose to rent with another girl. When we both moved into our new apartment from our dormitory, the first thing we need to deal with was to buy some necessary items such as cooking pot and sofa, for the house we rent was almost empty—there were only two beds in it. I felt very lucky that I decided to live with another girl rather than living by myself, because I had not to pay all the expenses of buying these equipment myself. Sharing those expenditure with my roommate effectively lessened my financial burden.

Admittedly, living with another person can lead to some problems. Sometimes, we may encounter with roommates who are quite annoying, like he or she may have several friends singing and dancing in her room till midnight, which will disturb us a lot. Different life style can result in a bad relationship between us and our roommates. Nevertheless, this kind of terrible situation can be prevented by carefully collecting information of our roommates before we make the decision of renting a house with him or her. If we deliberately choose the individual who own a similar living habit as ours, most of the unsatisfactory cases can be avoided ahead of time.

To sum up, compared with keeping using old cellphone and cooking by ourselves, living with a roommate is the best solution when young people want to cut down their expenses. Having another people living with us can share renting fees as well as other various kinds of costs. Although it may lead to some inconvenience, we can effectively eliminate these drawbacks by observing and communicating with our potential roommates before we finally pick up the one we are most likely to get along well with.
