However, others prefer to go out traveling because it can enrich/increase their knowledge and broaden their views/horizon. But they will spend more money and go through some trouble while traveling.
In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home. When staying at home, I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and doing sports, etc. In short, to stay at home is better than to travel.

As Senior 3 students, we all have taken exams of different types and experienced success as well as failure. Different students have different attitudes towards failure in the exams. Some of us become low in spirits in the face of failure. Worse still, some students are so disappointed that they don?t want to make further efforts in their studies. As a result, their studies go from bad to worse as time goes by. Fortunately, some students take positive attitudes towards their setbacks. They spare no efforts to analyze the cause of their failure and meanwhile encourage themselves to become more confident so that they won’t repeat their mistakes in later exams. As for me, I believe failure is the mother of success. As long as we can find out the root cause of our failure and double our efforts, we can surely make greater progress.

Is it necessary for freshmen to have a laptop when they go to university?Different people have different ideas. The supporters think that students deserve a laptop as an award for their great efforts and achievements.In addition, having a laptop in hand will bring more convenience to their studies and easier access to the Internet, which will in turn
absolutely benefit them.
The opponents believe it would add to the financial burden of some families.Besides, many universities are equipped with modern facilities, providing students with adequate computers for use.
As far as I am concerned, it is not necessary to buy a laptop for freshmen.The reason for this is that they can have free access to the computers in universities. Furthermore, they may be addicted to computer games because of lack of self-control, which will have a bad effect on their studies and health.

Nowadays, western festivals such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day are becoming more and more popular in China. Whether we Chinese should celebrate these festivals has raised a heated discussion.
Some believe that celebrating western festivals is a sign of globalization，which helps to take in various foreign cultures and improve cross－culture communication. Besides，some western festivals，such as Mother’s Day and Thanksgiving Day，are instructive.
However，others believe that the popularity of the western festivals in China is the result of the foreign cultural invasion. For example，Christmas has strong religious colors. What’s more，young people may lose their interest in our traditional Chinese festivals like Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day etc...
As far as I am concerned，we should value our traditional festivals，which have been an essential part of the Chinese culture. Meanwhile, we can have a taste of the western festivals just for fun.

People often complain that they see some people jump in the queue, disturbing the harmony of society，and to be worse，chairs intended for children and seniors are occupied by the young. It is high time that we should take actions to improve public morals. Firstly，government should make it a rule that people will get fined or punished if caught behaving against public morals. Additionally，it makes sense that schools should take on the duty to give students lessons on how to be a qualified citizen.
All in all，it owes to the majority’s support that we can live in a peaceful and harmonious neighborhood. Don?t hesitate to get rid of your own improper behaviors.

I’m writing to talk about our school’s new rule that all students are forbidden to eat out during school days. The school says, for one thing, the food outside the campus isn?t healthy and its safety can?t be guaranteed, and for another, if students have meals in the canteen, they may save money because the food there is cheaper.
However, some students are against the rule for two reasons. First, they dislike the food in the canteen because of its poor quality. In addition, the school seems to try to make more money if all students are forced to have every meal in school.
Personally, to make more students have meals inside the campus, the school should make the food taste nicer and offer them a larger variety of food,too.

What I Consider Important in Life
There is no doubt that different people have different goals in their life，and they may have various answers to this question. My opinion is that the most important thing in my life is health.
First of all，life is short for everyone. Without good health，we won’t have enough time to accomplish what we plan to do. We are entering a
38
new century，blessed with new opportunities and faced with challenges. Without a healthy body, how can we catch up with the rapidly changing world？Meanwhile，when we have got wealth and fame but without a healthy body，we will suffer from pains caused by certain illnesses all day long. So wealth means nothing in this case. Beyond any doubt，health is more important than wealth.
To conclude，I personally believe a healthy life is the source of happiness. So let’s join hands to make our life healthier，both in body and mind.

I contribute to your newspaper to introduce something about the recent class meeting of mine. Our class has held a heated debate about whether going abroad or staying at home for college education recently.
Some students think that studying abroad is a good choice，because there are lots of famous colleges abroad.The environment there is nice and quiet. But the expense of studying abroad is rather high.
Others prefer to study home.They believe that domestic colleges have excellent teams of teachers，the teaching equipment is advanced，and the tuition is lower. However，chances to practice are not as many as studying abroad.
As far as I am concerned, I choose domestic colleges. Although the domestic university may not be as good as the foreign university，culture difference is a big problem. To study abroad，you must get over the obstacle of language and differences in behavior and habits.
Yours, Li Jin

We have held a discussion about whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student.
Some are for the idea. As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other, and they may develop friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them with their lessons, which benefits them all.
However, others don't hold the same view. They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which may lead to them forming bad habits. Besides, slower students often ask top students questions, which has a bad effect on their studies.
In my opinion, I'd like to choose to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together.
