Don?t hesitate to say “No”?
It is very difficult to say “No” to a request, especially to a request from a close friend. However , on some occasions, you have to say “No”. For example , suppose one friend of yours asks you to take exams for him, and he promises to offer you some material benefits.To such request, definitely, you should say “No”.?
In real life, there are many people who do not say “No” when they should do so. There are several reasons for this practice .One important one is that they fear they would lose the friend.?
When we should say “No”, don?t hesitate to say so. Otherwise you do harm to both you and the one who made the request.For example, if someone bribes you and you don?t say “No” to it, both of you may end up in prison.?
So do not hesitate to say “No”, when you need to do so.

Blogging has become increasingly popular among middle school students. Some view it as a great way to share ideas and motivate students, while others fear it will interfere with students?study.
There are arguments both for and against student-blogging.On the negative side,
if students blog too frequently it may interfere with their study.And if they are completely unsupervised, some inappropriate topics may be discussed. On the other hand, blogging allows students the chance to write about the things that are most important to them.Because they are interested in those topics, they will be more motivated to write, thus practicing their skills.It will also give the blog-readers the chance to practice their reading skills, too.Furthermore, blog-based discussions will help to develop students?ability to think independently and communicate with others. For these reasons, I am generally a big supporter of student-blogging.?
Of course, there have to be some limits such as parents monitoring their children to make sure they don?t spend too much time on it and the subjects discussed are suitable.

Is the Spirit of Lei Feng out of style？?
There are some voices claiming lei Feng?s spirit has gone out of style in today?s society.They reason that in commodity economy people should seek more practical things, such as fame, money and the comfortable life.To them nothing is more important than those things, which are often regarded as views of present generation.?
There are some other voices claiming that the spirit of lei Feng still has an enormous echo in millions of Chinese people.The great soldier?s story has such a strong influence on people?s ideas, values and ways of life that in every field of society there arise countless “Living Lei Fengs”, who follow the example of Lei Feng and serve the people heart and soul.?
In my opinion, the spirit of Lei Feng will never be out of date.Instead, it has been brought forward.Today more and more “Lei Fengs” are coming forth from various circles, among whom “Xu Hu” has already set a good example to the whole nation.The spirit of Lei Feng—an unselfish spirit will always encourage us to go forward. 35.话题:国外留学?

Study Overseas?
With the improved living standard and China?s being more open to the world, more and more young people choose to pursue their higher education in English?speaking countries such as America, Britain or Australia.Frankly speaking, studying overseas has both advantages and disadvantages.
The main benefit of studying abroad is the academic one. Obviously in western colleges and universities, the laboratories are more sophisticated, and book resources more up-to-date. More importantly, they have first rate professors who are aware of the latest developments in their respective field.Hence, the standard of teaching is much higher. Besides , traveling abroad can broaden their mind and offer them greater opportunities to develop their independence.?
Despite these obvious advantages, we should not overlook negative effects.One problem is the difficulty they have to adjust to a new culture.They may experience loneliness and homesickness, which will of course do harm to their study. Another is . the financial problem.It is not easy for ordinary students to cover high college cost.?
While overseas study has its drawbacks, the advantages are obvious. Personally, I think it a good idea to study overseas , learning something different from our own country.

Although the United States and Canada have diversity, American culture and Canadian culture aren?t too different and aren?t too similar.The United States is referred to as “the great melting pot of society” where people of all nations join together to form “a more perfect nation”. While Canada on the other hand has been compared to a mosaic(马赛克), where people are invited to join the nation and still retain their cultural identities, complete with traditions, languages and customs.
When it comes to language in the United States and Canada they both have English as one of the main languages.Since a lot of people speak French and 20% of the population of Canada are French?Canadian, on most things not only English is written but also is French, while in United States since they encourage people to be more into the “American culture” there will be less of different types of cultures but more of one.

With the College Entrance Exam coming, from time to time we hear students discuss whether Senior 3 students should take a lot of tonics (补品) to keep fit.There are different opinions about it.Some students object to taking tonics, because tonics will make them put on more weight, which is not appropriate for their health.
Moreover, the parents will have a great impact on the Senior 3 students if they show too much concern by offering them tonics, which is bound to bring more stress to the Senior 3 students.They will feel cast down and ashamed when they can?t get a high mark as their parents have expected.Besides, they don?t think their effort will pay off only if they take tonics.However, some students-opinion completely differs from it.They are in favor of the opinion that it is easy for the Senior 3 students to feel tired by working hard, and tonics can help to bring themselves back to energy as soon as possible, so it is good to take
some tonics.

Review of ?Emma? by Jane Austin?
This book tells the story of a rich, young lady two hundred years ago who enjoys planning the marriages of all her friends.However, it turns out that her plans are not successful.It is a very amusing book which anyone will enjoy.?
The part I enjoyed best was when Emma goes home with a young man who she thinks is in love with her friend.Only then does she discover that the man wants to marry her because she is rich.He proposes marriage and she is very shocked and rude to him.?
The humor lies in the fact that Emma thinks she understands everybody around her.In fact everyone else is more aware of the true state of affairs than her.?
I enjoyed this book because it showed me that people can make themselves believe that what they want to happen will happen.
