2005全国英语作文In the era of globalization, the exchange of ideas, cultures, and lifestyles has become more frequent and profound. This essay aims to explore the impact of globalization on local cultures, focusing on both the positive and negative aspects.Firstly, globalization has facilitated the spread of cultural diversity. With the advent of the internet and social media, people from different parts of the world can share their cultural practices and traditions. This has led to a greater appreciation and understanding of various cultures. For instance, traditional festivals such as Chinese New Year and Diwali have gained global recognition and are celebrated by people of different ethnicities.However, the downside of this cultural exchange is the potential for cultural homogenization. The dominance of Western culture, particularly American media, has led to concerns that local cultures are being overshadowed. Local languages are at risk of being replaced by English, and traditional customs are often sidelined in favor of global trends. This can result in the loss of unique cultural identities and a sense of cultural erosion.Economically, globalization has opened up new markets for local artisans and businesses. They can now sell their products to a global audience, which can boost their economy and preserve traditional crafts that might otherwise be lostdue to modernization.On the other hand, the influx of foreign goods and services can lead to the displacement of local industries. Small businesses may struggle to compete with multinational corporations, leading to job losses and economic decline in local communities.In terms of social impact, globalization has the potential to bridge gaps between different societies. It can foster a sense of global community and encourage international cooperation. However, it can also lead to cultural clashes and misunderstandings, as different cultures may not always align in terms of values and beliefs.In conclusion, globalization has a dual impact on local cultures. While it can promote cultural exchange and economic opportunities, it also poses threats to cultural preservation and economic stability. It is crucial for societies to find a balance that allows them to benefit from the global exchange while protecting and preserving their unique cultural heritage.请注意,这个作文是根据2005年的背景虚构的,因为2005年的具体全国英语作文题目无法确定。
2005年12月四级A卷试题及答案(文字版)(2)Part II Reading comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect “saddle curl,” the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker, Frito-Lay, thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America, owned by PepsiCo, and accounts f or over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow, the company has to look overseas.Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first, a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete, and second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumers —especially young people — see as part of a modem, innovative(创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is anAmerican company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识). The logo, along with the company’s lo ng-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips, would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rather, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We’re making products in those countries, we’re adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.原文出处:FritoLay: Using Potato Chips to Spread the Spirit of Free EnterpriseJust five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect "saddle curl," the Lay#39;s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination.But its maker, T exas-based Frito-Lay, thinks otherwise. "Potato chips are a snack for the world," said Salman Amin, the company#39;s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world, no race or tribe, that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.The Chinese might have their nyen gao ping, made from rice flour, and the Indians their lentil-and-chickpea namkeens, but Frito-Lay believes they would rather be eating potato chips. Thecompany#39;s research has shown that when given a choice between their local snack and a Frito-Lay chip, consumers in most countries will choose the chip.Putting its findings into practice, Frito-Lay has expanded on all five continents by buying up local snack makers or defeating them with its marketing expertise and sheer size."Never have we introduced Lay#39;s potato chips and had it not be successful," said Dwight Riskey, the research and development head who devised Frito-Lay#39;s global strategy five years ago. "It#39;s been successful every single place we#39;ve introduced it."Thinking Globally, Acting GloballyFrito-Lay, which also produces Doritos and Chee-tos, is the biggest snack maker in the United States, with 55 percent of the potato chip market. It is owned by PepsiCo, and accounts for more than half of the parent company#39;s $3 billion profits every year. But the U.S. snack market is largely saturated, and in order to grow — the key to remaining successful — the company had to look overseas.Riskey#39;s strategy rests on two beliefs: first, that a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete, and second that consumers in the 21st century are drawn to "global" as a concept. By "global," Riskey does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, like Coca-Cola and Nike, but ones that consumers —especially young people — see as part of a modern, innovative world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention — created by a chef in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. in 1853 — but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company.Instead, Riskey would hope they associate the brand with the brave new world of global communications and business.With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo, eventually settling on a red logo with a banner suggesting "celebration" and a sun denoting "universality." The logo, along with the company#39;s long-held marketing image of the "irresistibility" of its chips, would underpin the company#39;s global expansion.Taking Aim at the Local SnackFrito-Lay honed a strategy for moving into new countries where a local snack industry is already established. Rather than face the costs of building a new business in an unfamiliar market, the company identifies the leading local snack manufacturer and offers to buy it out. If the local manufacturer refuses to sell, Frito-Lay moves into the market on its own, using its size and marketing experience to cut into the local manufacturer#39;s sales. Often, at that point, the local company gives in and sells, sometimes for a lower price than the original offer.If the preferred local snack is already a potato chip, Frito-Lay rebrands it. After buying Walkers, the dominant chip in Britain, the Texas company refashioned the Walkers logo into the red "banner sun" design, as a first step toward changing the brand to Frito-Lay outright. Similar plans are under way for Sabritas in Mexico and Simba in South Africa. "We just say, #39;You know that stuff you love? Well, now it#39;s going to be called Lay#39;s,#39;" said Riskey.If the locals are used to eating something other than potato chips, Frito-Lay devises "differentiated products" that bridge the way to the chip. For the Indian market, the company created Kurkure Twisteez, a potato snack that comes in local flavors likeMasala Munch.Sometimes Frito-Lay#39;s products are so unfamiliar that the advertising campaigns focus on educating consumers in the hope of changing their "consumption habits." In China, Frito-Lay ads show potatoes actually being sliced, so people know where the chips come from. In Turkey, the company distributed pamphlets suggesting new recipes and eating habits: "Try a tuna sandwich for lunch, and join it with a bag of chips."Looking for #39;New Occasions#39;Like other multinational companies, Frito-Lay has learned that the best managers are often locals who know the market and culture well. Although they must follow certain global standards —such as the company#39;s long-held marketing theme of "irresistibility" — regional managers are encouraged to look for for new "occasions" to increase sales in their specific areas.In Holland, where the Dutch tend to eat potato chips only at night, as an after-dinner snack, manager Eugene Willemsen focused his efforts on changing their habits by distributing free samples on the streets during the day. He also targeted high schools, knowing that children were driving Frito-Lay#39;s growth in Holland. "For us, the biggest opportunity for growth is to penetrate new occasions with salty snacks," Willemsen said.In South Africa, national sales manager Arnold Selokane boosted sales in native townships by hiring local drivers to make deliveries, making the product seem less foreign. In China, sales director Jackson Chiu raised sales by 57 percent in one year, in part by focusing on girls and young women. "We market to girls and the boys follow," he said.The company encourages such initiative by flying promisingmanagers to the Frito-Lay headquarters in Plano, Texas, or the PepsiCo campus in Purchase, N.Y., for intensive courses on marketing and business development. Selokane and Chiu were among 200 PepsiCo employees honored at the company#39;s annual "Ring of Honor" ceremony in 2001. With honorees from 50 countries, speaking 30 different languages, the four-day program resembled the United Nations#39; General Assembly, complete with headsets and banks of translators.Not Just Potato ChipsThe executives behind Frito-Lay#39;s global expansion acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food that was created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rather, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. "We#39;re making products in those countries, we#39;re adapting it to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives," said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo#39;s chief executive.Frank Wong, who runs Frito-Lay#39;s operations in China, believes that by training Chinese managers the company is helping build up an educated middle class that will play a major role in the country#39;s economic transformation. "We bring a lot to China, a lot more than just the brand called Lay#39;s," he said.21. It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marketing that _____.A) potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world marketB) their company must find new ways to promote domestic salesC) the light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chips{D) people all over the world enjoy eating their company’s potato chips}22.

2005全国英语作文In the era of globalization, English has emerged as a lingua franca, connecting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and facilitating international communication. The influence of English can be observed in various aspects of modern society, from business and technology to education and entertainment.Firstly, the prevalence of English in the business world is undeniable. Many multinational corporations use English as their primary language for conducting business, which allows for seamless communication across different countries and cultures. This has been instrumental in fostering global trade and investment.Secondly, the technological advancements of the 21st century have been largely driven by English. The majority of programming languages are based on English, and the internet, a global platform for information exchange, predominantly uses English. This has made it easier for people to access and share knowledge, regardless of their geographical location.In the field of education, English is often taught as a second language in many countries. This has opened up opportunities for students to pursue higher education in English-speaking countries, as well as to engage with a global pool of knowledge through academic publications andresearch.Lastly, English has also become a dominant force in the entertainment industry. Hollywood movies, English music, and literature have a global reach, influencing popular culture and shaping the way people perceive the world.In conclusion, the impact of English on globalization is profound and multifaceted. It has not only bridged the gap between different cultures but has also played a crucial role in shaping the global landscape in various domains.

The Students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.My Idea of a University Arts FestivalThe Arts Festival is supposed to provide the students a platform on which they can show their strong suits that are covered up when they are sitting in the classroom and play the role of students. The student may organize the Arts Festival in the form of competition, which can be widely ranged according to the possible interests of students, such as drawing, dancing, singing, instruments playing, chess playing, cooking and so on.Why should the Arts Festival be better organized in the form of competition based on students’interests? First, the students are an ambitious group. Competition can spice the Festival and stimulate the desires of the students to show themselves without hesitation and reservation. Second, a platform provided for students’interests may indirectly help their academic performance. Suppose a student who performs poorly in his academic life wins a competition of his strong suit, he is likely to start to hold a more positive attitude towards himself: I am not as inferior as I have believed. His confidence is strengthened in some degree and this plays an active role in his study. In this way, the Arts Festival helps the students in their studies indirectly.The Arts Festival is not only an inseperable part of theextracurricular activities of university students’campus lives but also a necessary complement to the copied lives of study. The essence of Arts Festival is to colorize the college life and to benefit university students spiritually.。

In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. ―We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,‖ one parent sail. ―If we can help ease their financial burden, we will. ― Teachers are grat eful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for then to solve this problem. The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. ―It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,‖ said State Treasurer Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing yp a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单)to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays. District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts its 38 schoo ls. At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigat ing the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools. In Frederick, stud ents’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.

While here’s on question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you. In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they stress that you can manage also boost immune (免疫的)function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects through a gory (血淋淋的)video on surgical procedures. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that’s the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody. Stress prompts the bodyto produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. ―They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage,‖ says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain. ―Sustained stress is not good for you,‖ says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of(12)The word “shun”(Line 1, Para. 1)most probably means ________.A. cutdownonB. stayawayfromC. runoutofD. putupwith(13)We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that ________.A. peopleunderstresstendtohaveapoormemoryB. peoplewhocan’tgettheirjobdoneexperiencemorestressC. doingchallengingworkmaybegoodforone’shealthD. stresswillweakenthebody’sdefenseag ainstgerms(14)In the experiment described in Paragraph 3, the video-watchers experienceda downturn in the antibody because ________.A. thevideowasnotenjoyableatallB. theoutcomewasbeyondtheircontrolC. theyknewlittleaboutsurgicalproceduresD. theyfeltnopressurewhilewatchingthevideo(15)Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University believes that ________.A. aperson’smemoryisdeterminedbythelevelofhormonesinhisbodyB. stresshormoneshavelastingpositiveeffectsonthebrainC. shortburstsofstresshormonesenhancememoryfunctionD. aperson’smemoryimproveswithcontinuedexperienceofstress(16)Questions{TSE}are based on the following passage. If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children ―I’m sorry I got angry with you, but ...‖ what follows that ―but‖ can render the apology ineffective: ―I had a bad day‖ or―your noise was giving me a headache‖ leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology. Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say ―I’m sorry you’re upset‖; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done. Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying ―I’m useless as a parent‖ does not commit a person to any specific improvement. These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness, Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies. But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become a ware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology.

12英语四级作文范文Title: The Importance of Learning English。
English proficiency has become increasingly essential in today's globalized world. In this essay, I will delve into the significance of learning English, exploring its practical benefits and cultural significance.Firstly, mastering English opens up a plethora of opportunities in various aspects of life. In the realm of education, many prestigious universities and academic institutions around the world offer courses taught in English. Proficiency in the language thus becomes indispensable for students aspiring to pursue higher education abroad. Additionally, in the professional sphere, English proficiency is often a prerequisite for many jobs, especially in multinational corporations where it serves as the lingua franca for communication among employees from diverse linguistic backgrounds.Furthermore, English is the dominant language in the fields of science, technology, and business. A vast amount of scholarly literature, research papers, and technological innovations are produced and disseminated in English. Therefore, proficiency in English not only facilitates access to valuable knowledge and resources but also fosters collaboration and innovation on a global scale.Moreover, learning English provides a gateway to understanding and appreciating various cultures and traditions. English literature, for instance, offers insights into the rich tapestry of human experiences, allowing readers to delve into different epochs, societies, and perspectives. Additionally, by engaging with English-language media such as films, music, and literature, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultural expressions from around the world.In addition to its practical benefits, English serves as a tool for fostering intercultural communication and mutual understanding. In our increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively acrosscultural boundaries is crucial for promoting peace, cooperation, and harmony. English proficiency enables individuals to engage in meaningful dialogues with people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, thus bridging divides and fostering empathy and understanding.Furthermore, the importance of English proficiency extends beyond individual success to societal development. Countries with a high level of English proficiency often enjoy greater economic competitiveness, as they are better equipped to participate in the global economy and attract foreign investment. Moreover, English proficiency can enhance a country's soft power, increasing its influenceand attractiveness on the international stage.In conclusion, learning English is not merely apractical necessity but also a gateway to personal, professional, and cultural enrichment. By mastering English, individuals can unlock a world of opportunities, broaden their horizons, and contribute to the promotion of mutual understanding and cooperation in our diverse and interconnected world.

Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance. The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives. Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television.I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned. Undoubtedly, it playsa vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Y ear. To increase its appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite some big names including super stars from Honking and Taiwan.

However, students have quite different plans for their future so they always end up learning courses based on their own ideas.Some students may choose to learn a certain course in order to obtain an extra certificate for their job hunting after graduation. Because they assume that some more knowledge could ensure more chances of winning in finding a good job. Others may have their choice made just for fun. They tend to hold the idea that college life could be more colorful if they could widen their knowledge through elective courses.As far as I’m concerned, I’m inclined to choose electives based on both the value of the courses and the interest of my own.2008年6月四级作文1.娱乐活动多种多样2.娱,也可能有危害性3.作为大学生,我的看法Recreational activityIn people's daily life, there are various apart from studying or working ranging from Karaoke or dancing to computer games or sports games.Such activities are beneficial as well as harmlul to us if undertaken inappropriately.

But its maker. Frito-Lay. Thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America, owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow, the company has to look overseas.Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciousl y identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially young people-see as part of a modem, innovative (创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know than Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo (标识). The logo, along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility”of its chips, would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We’re making products in those countries, we’re adapting th em to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.21. It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marking that ________.A) potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world marketB) their company must find new ways to promote domestic salesC) the light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chipsD) people the world over enjoy eating their company’s potato chips22. What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?A) Its products use to be popular among overseas consumers.B) Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack marker.C) It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company.D) It needs to turn to the word market for development.23. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that ________.A) consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brandsB) local brands cannot compete successfully with American brandsC) products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profitsD) products identified as American will have promising market value24. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?A) To suit changing tastes of young consumers.B) To promote the com pany’s strategy of globalization.C) To change the company’s long-held marketing image.D) To compete with other American chip producers.25. Frito-Lay’s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market ________.A) won’t af fect the eating habits of the local peopleB) will lead to economic imperialismC) will be in the interest of the local peopleD) won’t spoil the taste of their chipsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent sail. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will. “Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for then to solve this problem.The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing yp a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts its 38 schools.At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.“We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who help ed raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum (论坛)。

Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
参考范文:
Should the Uiversity Campus Be Open to tourism?
Nowadays,many famous university campuses have become one of the popular tourist attraction. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of middle school students visit Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities in China.In the place far away from the capital city,the local students also visit the universities famous in their own province.so far as the present situation is concerned,is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists?
Different people have different opinions. On one hand,some people argued that it is a good thing for the students to visit the famous university campus in that it can enable the middle students to get more information about the university and they can have enough time and opportuinty to prepare themselves with the chance to get into the university. On the other hand,some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion,the public tourism will have negative effect on the universities because it will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere.
In my opinion,the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study . With the increasing tourism on the campus,it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learing field.。
