　　With the fantastic spur both in industry and in economy in China, the number of people who own private cars is on the rise. Some people have bought cars of their own, and others are planning to buy cars. But there have been two quite different views on this phenomenon.

　　Some claim that there are many advantages brought about by cars. First, the automobile industry provides jobs for countless workers and strong support for other industries. Second, if conditions permit, owning a car can make us work more efficiently. Finally, life will become more convenient. A car allows one to move freely and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun.

　　However, others strongly object to the increase in developing private cars. They hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems. In the first place, as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. Next, private cars contr123te to traffic congestion so greatly that the advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled out by the frustration caused by traffic jams. The last problem is the increasing number of car accidents that have killed and will kill a lot of people in a friction of a second.

　　In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually unheard of. In the latter situation, students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their "job". In my opinion, students benefit more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may include working at a part-time job. Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying.

　　While it is true that a student's most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal. In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a student's life, part-time work can broaden his range of experience. He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances. Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility, both for his own work and for that of the team he works with.

　　Advertising is a big industry and many agencies are set up for furnish a variety of services for it.

　　However, advertising is not welcome sometimes. A most irritating thing is to watch advertisements before and during films on TV. There are so many of them that they make you forget what you are sitting there for. The ironical thing is that advertisements of one type of things are often shown one after another so that you are confused as to which product you should choose.What's more, advertising is not always truthful. The advertisers exaggerate the benefits of the merchandise they want to sell in order to gain more profits. Thus the consumers fall victim to such advertising.

　　Although there are disadvantages of ads, we can not forget the advantages and the conveniences they bring to us. First, by telling us where something is available, they may save us money and time. They guide us in finding suitable jobs and other information as well. Secondly, a wide range of activities and institutions receive financial support through advertising. Without this support we would have to pay much more for newspapers and sports games. Thirdly, perfect advertisements even provide entertainment. A considerable amoun...

　　Most Chinese college students know how difficult itcan be to change their majors midway through theirstudies. Now, some universities have adopted a moreflexible policy which allows students to changetheir majors without restraint, providing they canmeet the entrance requirements of the course they wishto take. This has aroused a heated dicussion. In myopinion, this alternation in major policy is good forstudents' development and should be practiced in alluniversities.

　　Firstly, reducing the limitations previously imposed on changing majors gives students anotherchance to select their careers with a maturer outlook. It is well known that the majors manycollege students take are not what they are really interested in. As a result, some students haveno zest in their major at all. In the past, students had to either struggle with their originalchoices or kill their time in desperation and wait for the second choice in their postgraduatestudies. Therefore, restriction on changing major is in fact an artificial barrier forstudents' development and should be lifted.

　　Moreover, allowing students to shift to the major they are good at means better exploitationof their potential talent. Every student has his/her own passion and talent. Universities, asan important education institution, should try their best to help students to achieve theirpotential instead of suppressing it. T...

　　Every summer hundreds of thousands of young studentsattend the college entrance examination, fighting hardto be among the lucky ones to enter universities. Buthave this large crowd asked themselves such aquestion: why do you want to go to university? It isdangerous if so many people try so hard to dosomething without clear purposes. For me, going touniversity can fulfil three important purposes.

　　The most direct motive for going to university is tosecure a good job in the future. With the largest population in the world, China is certainlyto be a gathering place of labor force. When there is more than enough labor force, one has to beextraordinary in order to succeed in the job market. As not all young people can go touniversity now, an education experience in university is sure to guarantee some advantages. Ifyou open a classfied advertisement, you may find that most of the well-jpaying jobs require auniversity degree or higher. Therefore, without university education, I cannot possibly find adecent job to support myself and my family.

　　Besides good job and income, a more important motive for going to university is to acquireknowledge. Since high school I have become increasingly interested in learning knowledge. I wasusually fascinated by what teachers taught in various classes, and this curiosity drives me toknow more. I have found that things taught in high school are just on very basic level. If I w...

　　As a senior student in university, I have gonethrough many interviews— interview to recruit newclub members, interview for internship and so on. In my opinion, the procedure of recruitment is like choosing apples —viewing resumes is liking picking upapples, you can only decide the appearances, or in other words, whether there are obvious flaws.Interview is like the first bite, by which you know the real taste of an apple. But only by eating all the apple can you see the core? That is to say, only by working with a person for some time, can you judge a person? So to me, interview can help us to get a basic knowledge about a person and is indispensable in recruitment but it has its limitations.

　　Interview is most helpful in the aspect that it provides interviewer a chance to observe something that resumes can not tell, for example, How the interviewee behaves? Is he/she nervous under pressure? Does he/she has excellent communication skills like eye contact? These things might be very important. Because some jobs might ask more than one's academic knowledge it might also require the ability of dealing with people and so on. Another important function of interview is that it can help interviewer to decide whether the interviewee lied in his/her resume. As we all know, under hot completion, in order to get more chances, some people tend to lie in their resumes about their experiences an...

　　Whether university students, who are already adults,should be allowed to live in rented flats out ofcampus has been debated for some time. Recently theMinistry of Education has issued a formal documentin which it expressed its approval. This naturallyintensifies the debate. In my opinion, living oncampus is much better than living away fromuniversities because it helps students with theirstudy, their life as well as their understanding ofthe society.

　　First of all, living on campus can help students study better. Those who prefer to live offcampus usually say that living in a rented flat means that they can manage their own time withoutinterruption from others, and this can help their study. These may be true; but by living oncampus, students can stay closer to study facilities such as the library and language lab, thusgetting more information and training. Besides, they can have more discussion and groupactivities, and this is very important to put knowledge to use.

　　Secondly, living on campus can help students live a richer life. Students who live off campus saythat they can stay closer to shopping centers or cinemas, so they can enjoy a colorful liferather than the boring life at school. But this is wrong. Shopping or seeing movies is not thelifestyle suitable to students because they are distractive, time-consuming and expensive. Onthe other hand, there are a lot of facilities on campus which promise a colorful ...
