Does A Student Need Private Tutoring?
A recent investigation shows that about 70 percent of middle school students in cities have private tutors.Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education.However, private tutoring has both advantages and disadvantages.
Many parents have no enough ability or time to help their children in study.Private tutoring is a good solution to this problem.In addition, private tutoring is usually onetoone, so the teacher can know the weak points as well as the strong points of the pupil, and thus teaching is, in most cases, directly to the point.On the other hand, private tutoring has its own disadvantages.For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupil’s time that he can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment.For another, some tutors, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their teaching duties as tutors.
In my opinion, greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of the pupil’s potential.Only in this way can a new generation be healthily brought up.

Is Thrift Still A Good Virtue?
With the improvement of the living standards, many people are no longer interested in the simple life style and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty.What they pursue is the latest fashion.In their eyes, thrift is already out of style.
However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue.They say that the unprecedented power of production doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited and some of them even are on the decline.Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.
As to me, I prefer the latter opinion.I believe “Waste not, want not.” The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency.In fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving.Besides, there are still millions of Chinese living under poverty line.We can never afford reckless waste.Therefore, it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.

To Restrain Spending
The monthly expenditures of college students have been on the rise in the past few years.Some argue that if the students earn the money themselves, how they spend it is none of other people’s business, and after all, the general living standard keeps rising.However, the fact is that most students live on the money their parents give them.The lure of a more comfortable and fashionable lifestyle—one with name brand clothing, mobile phones, MP3, and dining out or going to bars with a girlfriend—makes many to be frequent borrowers.
In my opinion, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends, thus they easily found it impossible to make ends meet and run into debt.When a student’s spending steps beyond the boundaries of daily necessities, it becomes a kind of waste.Furthermore, widespread extravagant spending on campus could have a bad influence on people’s values.But many students see it as a common practice and not a fault.Though everyone has the right to enjoy a comfortable life, campus is a place for study.So just think twice before you sign a bill.

Buying Lottery Tickets
There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is a hotly debated topic in China today./ There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is becoming popular in China today.Some people believe that it is beneficial in many ways.In the first place, it helps raise money for such groups as the poor and the disabled as well as for such causes as sports.(Thus, the heavy financial burden on the government will be relieved or even removed.)In the second place, lottery games provide people with a means of entertainment or pastime.(Without lottery games, many people might find nothing interesting to do.Last but not least, by buying lottery tickets, one may make a fortune overnight.)
Others, however, hold the opposite view.They say that buying lottery tickets is actually a kind of gambling.People are encouraged to earn money through guessing instead of downtoearth labor.As a result, some people are tempted to commit crimes.A case in point is the two bank clerks in Heibei who stole millions of money from the bank to buy lottery tickets.
Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the former.Lottery games can serve as a good means to raise funds.But the ticket buyers should keep in mind the original purpose of such games, that is, to help the underprivileged or to contribute to public welfare.If they happen to win the prizes, it’s nothing but a return for their kindness.

Studying Abroad: Hardships and Rewards
There is no denying the fact that studying abroad is a hotly debated topic today.Obviously, studying abroad has a number of rewards/advantages.In the first place, a student can have access to advanced science and technology as well as desirable working conditions which might not be available at home.In the second place, he can be exposed to entirely new ideas and trends.Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than at home.
Nevertheless, as every coin has two sides, studying abroad also confronts one with a series of hardships.For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people.For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may also be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young.An added difficulty lies with finance: it can cost a lot to study abroad.
From my point of view, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages.But it is a big decision to go abroad to study and one should take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding.Personally, I choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary. |
