As for me, I believe “Waste not, want not” We know there are still millions of Chinese living in a? poor conditionWe can never afford wasteTherefore, it is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give upI do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong wayThey do not know waste is a bad thingIt can only make them happy for the time being

Jacky

More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style, including meAnd I feel embarrassed to save the things I usedWhat I love is the latest fashionIn my eyes, saving is already out of style

One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using every dayAfter we’ve used them and are moving on to new ones, we should find ways to recycle these books instead of simply throwing them awayThere are different ways to do so, such as sending them to a recycling factory, reusing them for other purposes, passing them on to new students and so on

The negative effects(负面影响)of waste can be shown as followsFirstly, it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often, which is harmful to their developmentIf they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduateSecondly, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schoolingLast but not the least, just like what Mary said that our country is still poorThere are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help

 A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything.

   An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material(物质) things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others’. An unpunctual person is always saying unhapppily that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.

Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect(不尊重) towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.

   Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can’t do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends or fellow men.
