Dear editors:
(1)In recent years more and more automated collection buses are running on
the streets of big cities. (2)While they are praised as “ an advance in
technology”, I hold an opposite view.
(3)Automated collection buses don’t fit the socioeconomic circumstances of
our country. (4)To judge a particular technology, appropriateness is a sole
criterion. (5)That’s to say, any technology introduced or solution adopted
should take into account the unique economic, ecological, cultural and social
conditions within which a specific problem exists. (6)For example, bicycles can
provide more efficient transportation than automobiles in congested cities, and
“barefoot doctors” in large rural areas may meet more health needs than highly
sophisticated hospitals. (7)The same applies automated collection buses. (8)In a
labor-rich country where more and more people are laid off because there are not
enough jobs available, people-oriented machines are more suitable than
technology-oriented ones. (9)Ordinary buses can not only offer a large number of
job opportunities but also create a homey atmosphere which is badly needed in an
increasingly impersonal society.
(10)For these reasons, I don’t think that the automated collection bus is
appropriate in our country, at least at present.

A Five-day Week
1. 从1995年起我国实行了五天工作制
2. 五天工作制的好处
3. 结论
(1)For the first time in history, a five-day week was officially adopted
across China in May,1995. (2)It has found an immediate welcome and much
popularity ever since.
(3)Indeed, there are many obvious advantages to a five-day week. (4)First,
it provides an individual with time and leisure for personality development.
(5)With it, he is able to pursue his intellectual interests and other personal
hobbies, a thing he has long desired but found impossible in the past when he
only had one day off in a week and could barely arrange the household.
(6)Second, the quality of life has greatly improved. (7)A long holiday makes it
possible for people to go traveling around the country and even abroad.
(8)Finally, two-day weekend has promoted the growth of the consuming market.
(9)For an increasing number of people choose to go traveling and shopping at
weekends instead of staying at home--a new habit which is beneficial to nation’s
economy.
(10)A five-day week benefits more than individually and economically, and
with the passage of time, it will show more profound significance.

City Life and Suburban Life
1. 最近几年越来越多的人迁往近郊居住
2. 城市生活和近郊生活各有特点
3. 比较起来,我喜欢的是…
(1)In recent years more and more homes are being pushed outwards as the
activities of business, government and pleasure tend to be concentrated in the
centers of the cities. (2)Although most people are reluctant to move to the
outskirts of the cities, I feel like living in the suburbs.
(3)It is true that the city can provide much convenience and entertainment,
the very reason people can’t bear to part with city life. (4)But the cost for
the privilege of living in the city is also high. (5)Just think of the places
where we live, full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, torn by the roar of buses
and lorries day and night, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds. (6)Besides,
as the housing problem in the central city gets more serious, people have to pay
high rents for very tiny flats which I would certainly disdain to live in. (7)In
contrast, living near the countryside one can enjoy the clean atmosphere, the
closeness to nature and the quiet, peaceful surroundings―the essentials of a
healthy life. (8)Nothing can be compared, as the pace of modern life is getting
quicker, with the first cock crow, the twittering of birds at dawn, and sight of
the rising sun glinting on the trees and green fields. (9)Although living in the
suburbs you may suffer a little discomfort brought about by the necessity of
traveling miles to work every day, the situation will change soon as many
highways and subways are being constructed.
(10)The new suburban life is fast becoming a predominant pattern of living
in most cities; and with the development of traffic and the perfection of
services, it will prove to hold great superiority over city life. |
