A recent survey in our school shows that more and more students have become near-sighted. The survey says that 45.2 percent of senior students are near-sighted. It also says that 35% of Junior Three students are near-sighted, but it was only 23% when they were in Junior One.

I think the main causes are as follows. First, we have to do many lessons, especially in Junior Three and Senior Three. Second, some of us spend too much time in front of the computer. Furthermore, some students often read lying in bed or in dim light.

We must form good reading habits, spend less time in front of the computer, and arrange time for our lessons scientifically. In a word, we must let our eyes have a rest during work from time to time.

Friends, Similar or Different?

Almost everyone in the world has friends. Friends are found anywhere, at anytime. Some of our friends can be similar to us, and some of them can differ in many ways. Regardless of their similarities or differences, there are a few advantages of having such friends.

Having friends who are similar to us can be beneficial, in that we can enjoy things together, such as going to clubs or to the movies. In addition, having such friends can provide us with a companion to share our opinions.

However, having friends who are different from us would have some advantages of its own.

They are able to introduce us to new and different things; hence, we’re provided unexpected experiences in life. Furthermore, they could provide us with a different view on a certain matter.

As for me, I prefer to choose friends similar to myself. I feel that friendship between us will be smoother and more enjoyable. However, I never refuse a friendship offered by a friend who is different from me.

[参考范文]

My hometown , the ancient city of Pingyao, is a world cultural heritage with a history of more over 2700 years, which saw the Beijing Olympic torch relay on June 25, 2008.

The Executive Service Center was the starting point of the torch relay. The Xiangyun torch traveled along Liugen Road, over the city wall, which was the first time all over China, and finally reached the Yingxunmen Square at about 4:30, where a big celebration was held.

I, together with my schoolmates, took part in the activity. When the torch went by us, we all became so excited that we all cheered, shouted some slogans, and waved the national flags and the five-ring flags, having totally forgotten the hot weather.

As we all know, the Olympic torch is a sign of peace, therefore the torch relay speaks out people’s good hope for peace, and it is an inspiration for people to take a more active part in sports to keep fit.
