4) The Fight Against Crime
Today the crime rate in some of our cities seems to be rising. Many
citizens complain about the thefts and robberies which take place in their
street blocks. Therefore, more and more people are appealing to the authorities
to take strong measures to reduce the crime rate.
Faced with criminals, different people have different attitudes towards
them. Some become so frightened that they tend to give up fighting or to turn a
blind eve to the criminals. Others, however, are brave enough to fight the
criminals even at the risk of their own lives. In their eyes, responsibility is
the most important of all the values that hold honest people together Without it
there can be no self-respect, no trust, no law-and, ultimately, no society.
There is no doubt that they set a good example for all of us to follow.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestions are as follow. In the first place,
every one of us should receive a law education. Secondly, criminals must be
punished severely. Finally, it is urgent to set up a foundation to reward those
who fight criminals. In this way we can stand up to any crime and smash it.
5) Challenges of Environmental Issues
Environmental protection has aroused great concern among people. In many
cities, especially in big populous cities, environmental pollution has become
really serious. For example, an urban population of 12 million and 1.4 minion
vehicles in Beijing puts great pressure on resources and the environment, The
underground water level in Beijing has continued to decrease in recent years due
to excessive use. Coal burning, exhaust emissions from vehicles and factories
also intensify the city's environmental problems. We have to pay the historical
debts we owe to the environment because of early rapid economic development.
However, pollution control does not have to hinder economic development. In
a sense, it is a stimulation to the economy because pollution controls motivate
enterprises to aim for higher industrial standards and start a material and
resource efficient production. The exhaust control on vehicles can be cited as
an example. Some municipal governments require that the pollutant level in
vehicle emissions be controlled to reduce air pollution. Unleaded gasoline has
also been promoted during the past year. As a result, automobile and chemical
factories have to enhance their production technology to meet the demand.
Now some municipal governments have also taken such measures to stop the
pollution as replacing coal with natural gas, reducing dust and deforestation to
improve the lives of residents. In Beijing, 30 per cent of fuel used in urban
centers will come from natural gas. Low sulfur coal is replacing high sulfur
coal for factories. Many small boilers and kitchen ranges in restaurants and
dining halls have been replaced by gas ovens.
As we can see that the measures have been effectively combating pollution.
The air sulfur dioxide density has been on the decline since this year, and the
density of total suspended particles and carbon monoxide bas been kept on the
same level as last year. Though the density of nitrogen oxides continues to
increase because of the rising of the number of automobiles, the degree of
growth has been reduced.
Despite the progress some big cities have achieved in improving the local
environment, we believe that big city planners should adopt a comprehensive
environmental policy, which is more important than the detailed measures and
achievement.
6) Opportunities don't come often. They come every once in a while. Very
often, They come quietly and go by without being noticed. Therefore, it is
advisable that you should value and treat them with care.
When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its
own. If you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your
ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you
will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you.
The difference between a man who succeeds and one who does not lies only in
the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate
preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful person,
on the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. |
