U1

 How to succeed in university

There are some things you can do to succeed in college. First, pursue passions. Your passions will broaden your mind and make your life interesting. Second, never let go of any opportunities that come your way. College is full of unique opportunities, which will enable you to sample new things and meet wonderful

people. Lastly, take responsibilities. In college you must learn to be responsible for your own decisions and actions. With the passions, the opportunities, and the ability to take responsibilities, you will become successful not only in college, but also in your future career.

U6

 Why people get fired from their jobs

There are several reasons why people get fired from their jobs. First, people may lose their jobs if they have some dishonest behaviors, such as cheating in their job applications or telling lies in work. Second, employees may be fired due to poor attendance. No boss like an employee who is often late for or absent from work. Third, people having difficulty getting along with their co-workers are also likely to be fired because they may cause conflicts in the workplace. Therefore, to be a good employee, it is important to be honest, punctual, and cooperative.

U7

 My dorm (适用于出租广告描写)

My dorm is nice to live in. For example, it has a very convenient location. It is close to everything on campus. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to my classes, 8 minutes to the library, 15 minutes to the swimming pool, and only 2 minutes to the cafeteria. What’s more, there are great facilities in the building. There is a laundry

room, a gym, a TV room, and even an ATM machine. Most importantly, I like my roommates. We get along very well, and we have a lot of fun together. In one word, l love my dorm.

U8

 Differences between college life and high school life

College life and high school life differ in many ways. High school offers fundamental courses such as math, physics and English, whereas college offers more specialized courses, most of which are related to students’ majors. In high school, all classes are arranged by the school, so students just follow a fixed schedule; in contrast, college students can choose the courses in which they are interested and arrange their own schedule, so their schedule is more flexible. Moreover, high school students acquire knowledge and skills mainly through teacher’s instructions. In contrast, besides attending lectures, college students are expected to learn on their own, and develop critical thinking.

U1

 Learning English grammar

Some bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “Bible”,

Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book, but I don’t care

about it at all. My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.

English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to “impose” the differences between used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or

so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head. I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams. I was really confused with these two phrases, and I can never get them right.

In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speaker of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse.

U2

 Advantages of taking physical education (P.E.) course

Did you have such an experience as when your high-school physical education

(P.E.) teacher pushed you to run for several miles around the sports field in a P.E. class? When you were sweating and out of breath, did you ever wish that you could only stop taking a P.E. class in college? However, taking P.E. courses can be advantageous to all college students.

First, taking P.E. classes helps students learn valuable communication and teamwork skills. There are many activities that require students to communicate and interact with each other when they are having a P.E. class. For example, when one group competes with the other in playing basketball, group cooperation is extremely important in order to win. Effective teamwork usually requires good communication skills.

Another advantage is that taking P.E. classes enables students to more effectively handle their heavy coursework. Not infrequently, students sleep in class and miss important information. Not concentrating in class may be caused by insufficient sleep and no exercise. Through taking P.E. courses, students build up their health. Only when students stay healthy can they learn better.

To sum up, taking a P.E. course at college can benefit students in developing useful social skills as well as better coping skills for their stress at school. Therefore, P.E. courses bring students advantages both physically and academically.

U3

 Generation gap between parents and children

The odyssey years are certainly a very complicated phase of life for young people. Not only do these young people need to overcome many difficulties, they also have to face many challenges from their parents. The differences between parents and children can be well observed in their completely different attitudes and views.

First, they differ in their attitude toward life. Parents always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation. They feel that during their time, young boys and girls were better behaved, more obedient and had greater respect for elders. Young people, on the other hand, feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on the older generation for guidance. Young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their parents.

The differences also appear in the way the two generations look at things. For example, the parents’ generation never understood Elvis and the Beatles. Because they couldn’t understand what was going on, they were frequently opposed to them and saw rock as “the devil’s music”. Young people, however, are crazy about the modern music and would love to listen to it for a hundred times a day. Wherever they go, they’ll have their iPod with them.

In conclusion, it’s very difficult for parents and their youngsters to get along due to their distinctive attitudes and the way they view things. To fill this gap, both parents and their grown children need to be more understanding to each other.

U4

 Making a public speech

Frequently, students experience a tough time and are faced with an activity beyond their ability. However, my freshman year learning experience made me think otherwise. I had never thought I could do it, but I finally conquered my fear of public speaking.

At the beginning of the semester, my English teacher gave the assignment of speaking for three minutes in front of the class. It was an individual project worth 10 percent of the course grade. Since I was very nervous to speak in public, I worried about it for two months. Having no choice, I wrote all of my ideas on note cards. I practiced my speech with my notes in front of a mirror and in front of my dog. Would I be able to give my speech in front of my class?

When the day of my speech came, I was ready. As I walked to the front of the class, I looked at my note cards. At that moment, I realized that I had the wrong information. There were the notes for my biology test, not the information about my speech! I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly, I began to speak. To my surprise, the words flowed from my mouth. I just couldn’t believe it!

Everyone applauded my speech, and I felt like a winner. The three-minute speech that day made me realize that people can always overcome their odds if they are motivated.

U5

 Bryan and Peter (different spending habit)

It is often said that whatever wealth one may have will be gone quickly if the person only spends. However, some people think the purpose of life is to enjoy every moment, so they spend all they have earned. Even though Bryan and Peter are close friends, their spending habits are very different.

Bryan is very careful about using his pocket money. He only spends money when it’s necessary. For example, when his pocket money is only $50, he may spend $20 on necessary stationery for schoolwork. He will try to deposit the remaining $30 in his savings account. In his opinion, though the amount is small, it will help him for a possible rainy day since people never know what could happen in the future.

Unlike Bryan, Peter usually spends money at will. He often purchases expensive electronic products such as an iPhone and an iPad. Sometimes, he might buy himself an expensive brand-name shirt or a pair of expensive brand-name shoes. Different from Bryan, he never deposits extra money in a bank after meeting his basic needs. To him, saving money in a bank is something very silly because he believes that he can always earn big money after he gets a decent job in the future.

All in all, Bryan and Peter are very different in the way they spend money. Spending money wisely and saving extra money for future urgent need enable students to manage their finance and fully concentrate on their study. They will

also derive great pleasure from the way they handle their money.

U6

 What causes people’s irrational behavior

There are a lot of people who behave irrationally, causing problems to themselves as well as to others. It’s hard to analyze the exact causes behind irrational behavior, but we know that it is a manner of behavior that is not based on logic and reasoning. Irrational behavior is caused by various factors but two stand out.

The first main factor that contributes to irrational behavior is uncontrolled emotions. Irrational people take offense or get angry before the actual situation occurs. They become anxious and express exaggerated emotions such as crying and shouting. They have unrealistic expectations, expecting everyone to like them and if someone does not, they feel angry and neglected. It is fairly common for people to show such signs of irrationality.

Too much stress can also lead to irrational behavior. In fact, these days, stress is the major cause of physical as well as mental problems. Stress creates feelings of anger, irritation and frustration. For instance, when you spend a stressful day in the office, it makes you anxious. You start releasing your frustration or stress by screaming at your family members for small reasons like a badly prepared meal. That day you feel everything is wrong.

In summary, uncontrolled emotions and too much stress can result in irrational behavior. To behave rationally is not an easy job because the behavior is internalized. However, to discover the source of your irrationality will help you behave more rationally.

U7

 Women’s management style

With a more progressive approach to diversity and a greater number of women being the leader of organizations, women today feel comfortable enough to use their natural management style at work. Their management style tends to be more communicative and relationship-oriented.

One example of their management style is being more communicative. Women usually have greater verbal ability and verbal comprehension than men. Their speaking skill is actually innate –born with it. Since they are usually more supportive, more inclined to delegate responsibilities and more willing to foster the careers of their employees than their male counterparts, they communicate more efficiently. As a result, employees are happy to share ideas with their female boss and feel excited to have their voice heard in making decisions.

Another example of women’s natural management style is being more relationship-oriented. As we well understand, women are more emotionally and spiritually intelligent. This gives them the potential to be a more understanding

boss than men. They know how to motivate their employees with human touches such as “get well” cards and “thank you” notes. They also know when to make concessions and accommodate their employees’ personal needs because they are not as rigid and stubborn as male bosses. Employees, of course, enjoy such a relationship with their female boss.

In brief, women’s natural management style helps them succeed in their workplace. The fact that women are brought up to have verbal skills and emotional intelligence is a huge advantage. It’s their strength and they need to use it more instead of disguising themselves.

 Stressful life for kids

Many parents set unreasonable expectations for their kids. Conflicts occur when their children fail to reach their expectations. But why do parents tend to expect so much from their children?

The harsh reality may be one reason for the high expectations. We can see such logic behind parents’ expectations: If their children can study hard, then they will be admitted to key universities, and then they will be much more competitive in job hunting after graduation.

The peer pressure is also contributing factor. Parents tend to compare their kids to other kids in terms of academic performance. Parents consider it a shame if their children always lag behind other children. So it is often the case that parents spare no efforts to send their children to expensive training centers.

Parents’ love for their kids provides another explanation for their burning desire to see the best of their kids. Parents will be proud if their children make great achievements. But sometimes such love becomes a heavy burden on their kids.

The harsh reality, peer pressure and parents’ love all account for the unreasonable expectations for the kids. To set reasonable expectations for the kids is not easy, but is worth trying; after all, parents don’t want the heavy pressure to crush their children.

U5

 Continuing to study or going to work

To continue to study or to go to work upon graduation may be one of the most troublesome decisions a young undergraduate has to face. Indeed, how you choose between the two options will have profound impacts on your future life and career.

Firstly, your choice now will have an impact on your planning for the future.

When you decide to pursue further study, you will have to invest more time and energy in your academic performance and pay more attention to your research projects. Devoting to study will pave the way for you to become an expert in a domain in the future. But if you choose to work, you should focus on developing your professional skills to prepare yourself for getting better employment opportunities or starting your own business.

Secondly, your choice will also have an impact on your economic conditions. When you are determined to continue your study, you have to pay tuition for your academic pursuit. It might be a heavy burden for students, particularly those from poverty-stricken families. By contrast, if you go to work upon graduation, you will have your own salary and be financially independent. You can even provide support for your family.

Finally, your choice will, of course, have a great impact on your future job opportunities. Further study will equip you with more knowledge and a higher degree may guarantee you a better job.

However, it is also possible that you have fewer opportunities in several years because of the saturation of the job market. Going to work upon graduation enables you to have a lot of work experience, making you more competitive in the job market. But the possible drawback is that you may be turned down by some companies because many attractive jobs and promotions call for special qualifications usually regarding the employee’s academic degree.

To sum up, you can hardly tell what results your choice will ultimately yield. You should be clear about all the possible impacts of your choice before you make the final decision.

 My happy childhood

I spent my childhood in a small village. At that time, my mother had to bring up my sister and me by herself because my father was working in Shanghai. Even though our living conditions weren’t good, it was a happy time for me.

I had little friends in the village. We often played together. In spring, we ran on the green grasslands and picked beautiful flowers whose names we didn’t know. We often climbed the hill beside the village, stood at the top of the hill and shouted. The sound of joy echoed in the village. Summer came right after spring. The weather became hot. We played in the woods behind my house. A small river ran through the woods. When we felt hot, we jumped into the river. Oh! How cool it was! Then, fall came; it meant there was tasty corn for us. We set a fire, at the end of the fields, to burn the cobs of the corn we’d picked. I was often scolded by my mother for doing this. The winter was a wonderful time for us. In this season, the most interesting thing was to have a snow-fight. Though it was cold outside, we enjoyed ourselves very much.

Not only did I play with my friends, but also I learned virtue from them. They

were friendly, hard-working, and honest. I spent some pleasant time with them. I’ll never forget my childhood.
