[范文5]which part of the newspaper do you prefer?
i like reading newspapers. each day after supper, i spend half an hour scanning the content of each page, including information about the weather, national and international news and advertisements of various kinds. but the page i read most often is the sports page.
first, i like reading the sports news. i am a sports fan, but since life is busy and i cannot afford a lot of time watching various games, the newspaper has become an important way for me to get information about sports. i can know what matches are being held in the world, and who are the winners or losers by reading sports news. what attracts me most is what the chinese sportsmen and sportswomen are doing. but since participating in a game is more important than winning or losing the game, i am always delighted to know that the chinese are getting more and more involved in the international sports events.
second, i also enjoy reading the critical articles written about certain games. if i have watched a football game, for instance, i will have my own opinion on why and how one team had defeated the other. when reading the experts’ explanation and comments on the same match, i can learn a lot.
in summary, the sports page is a place where i can find entertainment and learn more about sports. for these reasons, i read this page of the newspaper very often.

pollution control
there are many cause of pollution. let us have a look at some of them. first, there are so many cars in our cities, especially large ones. they give off waste, sometimes even poisonous gases. second, many factories, such as papermaking ones, let their dirty water directly flow into our rivers and lakes. third, farmers use more and more chemicals and pesticides. so, our fields are polluted.
of course, these pollutions are harmful to our health. some rivers have become undrinkable. some polluted food or vegetables can cause cancer and if we breathe dirty air into our lungs, we may fall ill.
now, some governments are taking measures to solve this problem. for example, our government is making a policy to punish the factories, which have made the huai river very dirty. also, our government is reducing the number of cars in beijing. i think all these are very necessary. if we all work hard, this problem can be solved in the future.

global shortage of fresh water
many people believe that fresh water will never be used up. they think that fresh water comes from such varieties of sources that it is always sufficient for us. such opinion leads to surprising waste of water.
as a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. furthermore, with the rapid growth of the world’s population, the rising demand of water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water. actually, in some big cities, fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.
therefore, it is up to us to find new ways to save water. first, we should make the best use of water, and not waste it. second, scientists must work even harder to purify seawater, polluted water and try to find solutions in industry to reduce the use of fresh water.

men and the environment
the world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. for example, deforestation results in unpleasant weather. in addition, man is faced with problems of water pollution and air pollution.
many remedial measures have been taken. planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment. forbidding factories from pouring dirty water into rivers help purify and save the precious water resources. some other plans concerning environment have already been put into practice and they have achieved good results.
however, the problem of environmental pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the world. to certain extent, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting the environment hinders the solving of the problem. we must educate people to know the importance of environmental protection. in a word, there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.

no smoking
smoking is harmful. this has been proved by scientific experiments. however, many young people are still getting into the habit of smoking even though they have come to realize how serious this proldem is.
smoking does not only harm the smokers but also people around them. some people who don’t smoke have to breathe in dirty air. if they suffer from this too long, they can also become the victims of smoking and develop the same diseases.
therefore, smoking is a bad habit. everyone, especially young people, should do their best to get rid of it. the nonsmokers should persuade their relatives not to smoke or, at least, they should take up fight for cleaner air.

good health
the desire for good health is universal. it is the basis of happiness, wealth and success. a person can hardly always be energetic and enjoy his life. those who are poor in health often feel sad. a weak sick man can hardly achieve much success in his career no matter what level of education he has received.
what should we do to maintain our health? first of all, we should keep a balanced diet. we should eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, not too much meat and little animal fat. secondly, regular physical exercise is essential for a healthy mind and body. one can keep fit by taking part in sports activities that fit him. jogging, running, and swimming are all good exercises. finally, enough sleep is also important. a tired person will recover soon after a sleep.
as for me, one of my ways to keep fit is to keep a regular lifestyle. i get up early in the morning and go to bed before 11 o’clock. i also take a nap at noon.

the tape recorder
the tape recorder is one of the most welcome and popular electronic devices ever invented. there are many types of recorders. some may be as big as a hand box some may be as small as a watch. now a new type called walkman has come into being, which is so convenient that you can take it with you wherever you want to go. it is also very cheap, about forty or fifty yuan, and the most expensive one costs only several hundred, and it is very easy to handle even for a child. therefore, almost each family has one or two recorders.
this device is useful in many ways. it is not only widely used in our daily life, for example, filming, sporting, exercising, but also used in national security. it is an essential instrument for the young to learn foreign languages, for the old to listen to music or peking opera and for english teachers to make their class lively and interesting.
however, it can also become a nuisance if we use it improperly. it will have a bad effect on others or ourselves if we play it too long or too frequently. so we must make good use of it to promote our study and work.
[范文2]
computers
the computer is a wonderful machine. it is the most important invention in our modern time. today it is used a great deal in many ways. in the future the computer will probably touch the life of every one, even people in remote villages.
computers can do many kinds of work. for example, in big shops, information about the sale is put into a computer. during the night the computer works on the information from all the sales that day. the next morning, the manager has a report on everything that will soon be sold out. in scientific researches, a scientist can “ask” a computer some questions. this is almost like talking to another scientist.
in the past few years there have been great changes in computers. they now can do most of the things that people do, though most scientists have no idea about what computers of tomorrow will be like. will they make life better, or will they bring suffering to people? people today have to decide how to use the computers of tomorrow.

science and technology in modern life
human life cannot continue without science and technology. for many centuries, human society develops with the advance of science and technology. so the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our forefathers.
the development of science and technology has brought about many changes in people’s life. for example, the invention of television and the space rocket has opened a new era for mankind. through the use of tv people can hear and see the events, which happened or, are still happening thousands of miles away. owing to spaceship and the rocket, the dream of man’s landing on the moon has now come true.
science and technology also play an important role in our social construction. we may say that our social construction is like a skyscraper that cannot be built up without the help of science and technology. therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country.

what would happen if there were no power
ever since early this century, electricity has become an essential part of our modern life. it has played a decisive role in modern industry, agriculture, science and technology, national defense and education. nobody can deny that the development of our civilization depends on electricity.
if there were no electric power, our modern world would be in great trouble. for one thing, all the wheels would stop because the motors that power the machines would stop. for another, many of our industries would cease production. and all the electrical equipment such as washing machines, refrigerators, tvs would stop working. in short, our modern life would be impossible without electricity.
therefore, we should make better use of electric power. on the one hand, we should educate people to economically use electricity and not to waste the energy resources for the future. on the other hand, we must do our best to exploit more electric resources to meet the requirements of the human beings and to avoid energy crisis in the future.

my most favorite program
nowadays radios and tvs play a more and more important role in our daily life. there are many programs shown every day. some of them are very good. my most favorite program is called the animal world, which is provided by cctv every day night.
born and bred in the city, we can cot see any wild animals, and the program just compensates for it. it provides us with natural scenes and life of all kinds of wild animals with the explanation of the narrator. we also learn some knowledge about animals, even some plants. so, in my opinion, it is an interesting as well as instructive program. besides, the pictures are very beautiful and some of them are also very valuable. it’s really a great joy to watch it. if you don’t believe it, just watch it yourself.
[范文6]
newspapers
newspapers bring us news about current affairs. they help us know what is happening in the world. stories and sports columns are highly entertaining. and advertisements provide us with various kinds of information.
newspapers have several advantages over radios and tv. we can read them wherever and whenever we have time; we can keep them for later reference; we may cut out articles and trace developments in certain subjects.
today newspapers are not as important as they used to be, but they still play a role as a form of mass media. everyday more newspapers than books are read. their influence should never be underestimated.
however, the role of the daily press should be to broaden and deepen the reader’s view. instead of moving restlessly and dealing with one event briefly then quickly switching to another, the press should become less restless and dwell on fewer events.
