14. Energy Resources
China is rich in various energy resources. Coal and petroleum, for
instance, are two major ones. They are essential in developing the country's
industry, science and technology. China has done a great deal in the past few
decades to raise its output of coal and petroleum.
Three energy resources are being used up rapidly, With the building of four
modernization, new industrial and science projects are springing up like bamboo
shoots after rain. They are all big consumers of energy resources. Besides there
has been considerable waste in the utilization of these resources.
To avoid an energy crisis in the future, the government must take certain
measures. First, it should let people know the importance of saving energy.
Second, efforts should be made to develop new energy resources, such as solar
energy, geothermal(地热) energy and so on. We have reason to be optimistic in this
respect.
15. Competition
Competition makes people original and creative. It very necessary to
compete if human society wants to advance. (Even animals compete for survival.)
Without it, we would become lazy and nobody would rake any responsibility. When
three monks live together, there will be no drinking water. This Chinese proverb
vividly describes why China's productivity was so low before Mr Deng came to
power. At that time, we had the so-called planned economy. There was no
competition at all. So neither farmers nor workers worked hard. China was on the
edge of collapse.
Competition can stimulate people to try their best to do anything. For
example, in 100-meter race, each sportsman runs as quickly as possible, trying
to win the champion. The same things happen in our society and in our daily
life. If a company wants to surpass others, it must compete with them. It must
raise its efficiency. All the companies doing this will no doubt benefit the
whole society and the whole human race.
Being a student, I must compete with other students in our studies. I must
study hard in all the fields so that I can be a useful man when I enter the
society after graduation.
16.Students’ Part-time jobs
There are many advantages for a student to have a part time job. For
instance, it helps him to realize that no success comes from nothing. It enables
him to be independent and builds up his self-confidence. Therefore, part-time
jobs can get the students out of the ivory tower and give them the opportunity
to know more of himself and of his personal value in society.
As everything has two sides, the disadvantages can’t be ignored. Part-time
jobs cut into students’ study time; some even become so preoccupied with making
money that they ca ‘t focus their attention on studying. In the end, the
students may fall behind or fail in their studies.
In my opinion, students can choose to take up a job according to their own
situation. The most important thing is for him to keep a good balance, put his
study on top of the list and assign an adequate amount of time to it.
17.Wealth and Happiness
Everybody wants to get wealth. In today’s material world, making money or
becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just
make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money, they can
but nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood; with money, they can own
stately luxury cars. Wealth seems with money, they can own stately luxury cars.
Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.
In my opinion, people cannot do anything without money, but money is not
everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal
in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a
good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and
your country, and it will and to your own happiness. If you want money just for
your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word, you should have
money spent for more people, only then can money be the source of your
happiness.
18.Ideals
Everyone has his ideals. A businessman wishes to make greater profit; a
farmer expects bumper harvests; a student tries to learn more and better. And
everyone strives, with more or less effort, to realize his ideal.
One should be sensible about whether his ideal is well founded or not. If
it is, one has to plan and work hard for its realization. Effort, skill and
persistence are all necessary. And very often, one has to get help from others,
including advice and support in one form or another.
My ideal is to become a doctor, It is said that the field of medicine is a
well-paid profession, but I take it as a lofty profession entrusted with saving
people’s lives. To realize my ideal I have concentrated on laboratory work to
develop the analytical skills necessary to become a qualified doctor. I am sure
I will realize my ideal if I persevere in this pursuit.
19.Popular Sports in China
Sports are flourishing in china now. More and more people are willing to
take part in sports of different kinds, such as table-tennis, football,
volleyball, and so on. Every year there are many matches played on the city,
provincial or national level. Sports are no longer limited to a few professional
players.
Early in the morning people may be seen doing exercise. Martial arts (like
Chinese boxing or swordplay) which formerly were cultivated for self-defense,
now have become a form of physical exercise and are practiced in parks, streets,
gardens, or on campuses. In addition young and old people are also often seen
running in order to build up their bodies.
China promotes sports to enhance the physical condition of its people; she
is formulating policies to provide encouragement of this activity. She awards
prizes to the excellent players for the best records both in china and the
world. In the world the Chinese have become a strong people instead of “the
weaklings of East Asia”.
20.Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere in our life. Students may
fail in exams, scientists may fail in their research work, and athletes may fail
in competitions.
Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are
various. Some people don’t think their failure is a very important thing at all.
So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they will have the same failure a
period later. Some people think themselves are fools and lose their hearts in
everything after they get a failure. Consequently, they spend their time and
energy on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought.
Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentioned
above. Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson from every
failure and become more experienced. After hard work, they will be successful in
the end. It is said that failure is the mother of success. Success will be
gained after times of failures so long as we are good at drawing lesson from our
failures.
In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, the really bad thing is taking a
failure as failure or even lose our heart after failure.
21.Health and Life
As the saying goes, you don’t know what happiness is until you lose it’ you
don’t know what health is until you are ill. “Health is of vital importance to
life” sounds like a cliche to everyone, but it is absolutely true.
The negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul, the harmful
habits such as smoking, excessive drinking and burning mid-night oil will catch
up with you someday. How many big plans are interrupted by bad health! Even a
normal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health.
How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy.
Regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of sources,
one should do at least two things for him/herself. First, hold an active and
optimistic attitude toward life and maintain a mental well-being. Second, live a
regular life and keep a balanced diet. Anyway, a healthy life is within reach
when you begin to adjust your mind and body. |
