My favorite sport I like sports very much, such as running, skating, playing bask etball. But swimming is my favorite sport.
When I was six years old, my parents often took me to a swimming pool. They ta ught me how to swim. They told me not to be afraid of water, and told me to jump int o water bravely. Later I became very interesting in swimming. Swimming is really ver y interesting .If you swim in the water,you will look like a lovely fish. Great fun .I'm s ure you will feel very happy.

2. Choosing a Job
1. 别人选择工作时的考虑；
2. 自己在选择工作时考虑的因素；
3. 为什么自己是这样考虑的。
When choosing a job, people usually consider finding a highly-paid job. But for me, I think the most ide al job is the one combining people’s interest and major. So no matter what job I choose to do, I should love it and try to create some fun out of it.
Nowadays many people, especially young people, work long hours as well as un der great pressure in order to get high pay, but they never think more about their healt h and as a result, they have lost the great fun of life.
I will not take such kind of job. Even if the job is low-paid, so long as it is
suitable for me and meanwhile I like it. For example, I would like to work as an accountant, and I will put all my heart into my work. In my spare time, I will spend so me time with my family, caring about my parents, going camping at weekends, or trav eling abroad during the long holidays. As life is so short, I should learn to enjoy my li fe. So choosing a proper job is important. To choose a right job, in my opinion, is to e njoy life itself.

10. TV Ads
1. 电视广告的优缺点
2. 介绍一个你喜欢的电视广告
Nowadays advertisements are very common. Whenever you turn on TV, you are likely to see ads. There are two reasons, I think, for the growing number of ads on TV.
First, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. By advertising, each producer tries to convince the consumers that its pro duct is prefer able. Second, most consumers are interested in ads. They want to get from TV ads the first hand information about new products, which enables them to choose the one they like best. Consequently, ads increase a lot on the TV screen. As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of TV ads because most of them are interesting and informative.

15. Honesty is the Best Policy (诚实乃上策)
1. 写出你对‘诚实乃上策’的看法
2. 举例说明你的观点。
There is an English proverb saying "Honesty is the best policy." It
tells us the importance of honesty. What are the benefits of honesty? If
you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, t hey will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
It is usually better to be honest than dishonest. Sometimes
honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone, but on the whole telling the trut h is less harmful than lying.
In a word, honesty not only brings us honor and friendship, but also material gain s. Honesty is the best policy we can take.
How has the world changed since you were a child? ?Technology has been greatly improved; we have benefited a lot from the electronic wonders, urban constructions, medical cares, innovations in industry. Along with all these changes, one is so eminent that it could never be recovered. The cost of environment is increasing year by year. We could have the air conditioner in the heat, but it is only because of the warmer and warmer climate. We could move faster and more conveniently by using cars, it may because we want to see much greener and quieter places. ?We used to … we used to walk in the wild and on the grass land ?We are used to driving miles away to find a grass land. ?We used to spend a lot of constructive time with family and friends. We went fishing, hiking anywhere we wanted. ?We are used to talking on phones and going -online conversations with friends thousands miles away because of the crowded streets and noisy surroundings. ?We are used to playing time and money to get rid of destructive activities and doing sth. Constructive. ?We may do without some of the changes, since we are the master of the technology, no the slave of the technology. ?Traditional virtues are always cherished. ?No matter east or west, family is always our motivation for life. ?Environmental protection is being attached great importance. ?Problems along with the coming of internet are being addressed by many people. ?Do you think modern technology reduces or increases stress? Why? ?Over the past 30 years, we have accumulated great wealth with the enormous achievement of modern technologies. Better homes, good jobs, paid holidays; fancy grades commodities are available to most of use. The material discomfort has been banished, only a few of people are living under sub conditions. But the affordable housing doesn’t improve our sleeping; paid vacation doesn’t better our relationship with families and friends. Fancy grades commodities can never satisfy our children who seem to be less and less satisfied in their life. ?Extra wealth doesn’t bring us wonders and surprises. We feel burdened, stressed and worried. It seems all our problems are unmatched to our increasing wealth. ?Why? In order to increase our wealth, we sacrifice our time with families, relations, communities, hobbies. Lack of contact with our social circle makes us more stressful when we encounter difficulties and frustrations. ?Spiritual pursuits ?Good intention doesn’t mean good consequences ?What is your opinion about children playing violent videogames or computer programs? ? 1. What virtues should children have? ?Love, responsibility, teamwork, obedience to rules are the most important traits in the primary education, can the kids learn it from computer games? What benefits should
Why do students cheat? It is a rare individual who actively chooses to be dishonest. But why do a few students make compromising choices? What can lead people to act in ways that they aren't proud of? Below are some underlying beliefs and confusions which students at Carnegie Mellon give as explanations for slipping standards of integrity. A Victimless Crime? Students generally are familiar with the disciplinary actions and penalties for getting caught. However, they may fail to understand that one of the personal consequences of cheating and/or plagiarism is that they aren't actually learning or practicing the material. They may not realize that they will actually need and be accountable for certain knowledge and skills. Instructors may not explain the personal consequences and loss of trust that accompany academic dishonesty if they are focused mainly on stating the procedures and punishments related to academic disciplinary actions. They may not tell students how dishonesty damages their trust in a stude nt and his or her work which can affect a student’s ability to get a strong recommendation for employment or graduate school. It's a "Dog-Eat-Dog" University Students and their families often have very high expectations about grade achievements because they are accustomed to getting As. More pressure comes from the emphasis on grades in hiring and graduate admissions. Some students may feel pressured to develop unorthodox means to get competitive and marketable credentials. Instructors sometimes evaluate the performance of one student against the performance of others instead of measuring each student's achievement with respect to specified criteria. If students must compete with other students to get one of a limited number of As, they begin to look for ways to "get ahead." If Everyone Else Jumped in a Lake . . . Students sometimes view cheating as a necessary, not totally unacceptable method for academic survival. If they believe that "everyone cheats sometimes," they may not seriously ask themselves, "Why shouldn't I?" Professors and teaching assistants do not always confront suspected breaches of academic integrity. If they perceive that others do not pursue the formal process or that it is difficult to prove a breach has occurred, instructors may decide not to talk directly with students about potential problems. Instructors may no report an incident from their course believing that the student has “learned their lesson” but with no official record of the incident there is no way of knowing whether the student had cheated before or cheats again. Too Much Work, Too Little Time? Students often have multiple assignments due on the same day and in some courses may have only a few opportunities to demonstrate what they know. Cheating can be a tempting path when they
