Harmful influence of cyber centers

The internet has brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, and it has also benefited some businessmen, especially the owner of cyber centers. While it is true that most cyber centers are run legally, it is also true that some are offering unhealthy programs that involve violence and sex content. Since most middle school students are easily influenced and they can hardly tell which cyber centers are good and which ones are not, it is only advisable that they stay away from all. Besides, staying away from cyber centers also does good to students’ physical health. By passively sitting too long in front of the computer screen, both their eyesight and bodies suffer.

Nothing Is Small

In our daily life, some great disasters frequently happen not because of something big but something small.

As are shown in the pictures, a train is turned over because a rail spike is loose without being fastened; a great forest fire breaks out because of a lighted butt thrown without being put out; a great dam is destroyed as a result of a tube fountain in a dam without being found out, which have all caused a great loss to both people and society.

We can learn from the above examples that nothing is small in our work and life and any behavior of carelessness or no responsibility or a small fault will result in great damage or disaster. So we should be very strict with ourselves and learn to be responsible and careful in our life and work.

Good evening，ladies and gentlemen，

　　 My name is Li Hua．I have the honor of being your guide tomorrow. Now I'd like to give you a brief introduction to our tour．　　

　　 We’ll meet at the school gate at 8：00 am and set off by bus．As the old Chinese saying goes，“He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man”．The first place we will visit is that world famous spot．When you are standing on the wall，you will feel amazed at this man-made wonder on earth．After two hours there，we’ll leave for a snack street where varieties of foods will be waiting for you to try．The afternoon tour will begin from the Summer Palace at about 2：00 pm．You can take a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden and feel free to look around there until 4：00 pm．In the evening，we will watch a wonderful Beijing opera which will let you experience a real Chinese culture．After the show, we’ll return to the school at about 9：00 pm．

　　 Thanks for your listening and I hope you can enjoy your tour tomorrow．

　In your English class．the teacher shows the picture below and asks the class to discuss it．Your classmates have different understandings．

Look at title picture carefully and tell the class how YOU undemtand it·

[参考范文]

As we can see from the picture，two people，father and son，are talking to each other．The

Boy, standing on the ground，is looking up at his father，slightly scared，while his father, seated high on a big Chinese character“fu”，meaning“father” ，is shouting to his son．

　　 Such a situation seems fairly common in our society．When talking to each other, father and son are not in equal positions. Fathers simply tell their sons what to do rather than listen patiently．Therefore，sons will have few chances to share their own ideas or open up to their fathers．They often look up to their fathers with respect，fearing that they might not live up to fathers’expectations．

　　 1 hope our parents will listen to us more instead of just giving us orders．

As we can see in the picture．two men are standing side by side，smiling．They share one characteristics．strong in one am，while weak in the other．I guess they smile because they find someone who can help them accomplish a task that cannot be completed by either of them alone．

　　 Like the two men in the picture，we all have strengths and weaknesses，and what we can do is limited．However，weaknesses don’t necessarily mean failure，but may indicate the possibility of cooperation．By working with others．and making the best use of each other's talents，we can always achieve a better result．

My favorite way of communication

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

[参考范文]

As we all know, communication has been playing an important part in people’s life. As can be seen in the pictures, there are three ways of communication, of which I like communication by computer most. My reasons are as follows.

　 Firstly, by computer, people can easily send emails to each other at any time and at any place, while it is too slow a way to communicate by writing letters. Moreover, it is easy to lose letters. Secondly, by computer, people can chat to each other face to face, while it is difficult for us to do so on the phone. Finally, surfing on the Internet can provide people varieties of information, which is very convenient and useful to our study as well as to our life. It is really a good way to broaden our horizons and improve people’s understanding of the world.

In a word, communication on the Internet helps bring people all over the world closer.

Dear Tom ,

It was great to hear from you again . There are many things going on in our school . In fact things have got much better since　 we started a different way of learning .

In the past our teachers stood in front of the class talking all the time while we students listened , busily taking notes . After a tiring day at school , we always had a lot of homework to do . Sometimes we even worked late into the night . Now we are active in class . We often have discussions in pairs or in groups . After class we enjoy all kinds of activities , such as going in for sports , dong experiments or surfing the Internet.

We are extremely happy about the changes in our studies .

All the best ,

This cartoon tells a miserable story. As you can see, a young man, who is obvious a senior high student, is going away on a trip. As the two Chinese characters on the staircase suggest, the young man has reluctantly given up the coming college entrance examination. Why?

The above things are now quite common in China. In recent years, it's more and more difficult for college graduates to find jobs. Their parents spend a lot of money supporting them in colleges or universities, but their efforts cannot be paid off. So their parents believe it’s no use for their children to go on to college.

I feel sorry for the young man, but I don' t think it's a right decision that he has made, but what can he do? I think the government should take some measures to solve this problem.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　Yours,

Liu Fang

Last weekend, I took our foreign teacher Mr. Brown to the Great Wall, who came to China

for the first time. Having been told about the history of the Great Wall, he was amazed at this

world wonder. He was struck by the beauty of the Great Wall. So I took photos for him, which

would be a good memory for him. At the top, Mr. Brown was so interested in the activity of

protecting the environment that he was eager to join in and signed his name. Only when a Chinese

girl brought back his bag did he realize he had forgotten about it. Mr. Brown expressed his thanks

to her.

　　 Both the Great Wall and the Chinese people impressed him deeply.

　　　 In your English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain to your classmates how you understand it.

[参考范文]

We can see in the picture a man is feeding a chick. In order to get it to grow quickly, the

man puts all the nutritious food into the chick’s mouth without considering whether it can take in

all the food or not.

　　 The picture reflects a common social problem vividly. Many parents, as described in the

picture, try to offer their children much more than they need. For example, though students

should be relaxed after a week’s study, their parents still insist on their going to several weekend

courses, with the result that the students are tired of studies. In my opinion, students should be

allowed to make their own decisions about their studies.
