Possible Version 1:

More than 2,500 years ago in China, a famous scholar and his disciple couldn’t enter a city because the city gate had been closed. They had to stay outside the city for the night. At midnight it suddenly began to snow and they were dying of cold. In order to survive, the scholar asked his disciple to lend him his coat, but was refused at once. Since neither of them was willing to help the other, both died of cold before dawn.

We can learn from the story that we cannot force others to do what they don’t want to do or that there are some tests in life that not everyone can pass.

Possible Version 2:

More than 2,500 years ago in China, a famous scholar and his disciple couldn’t enter a city because the city gate had been closed. They had to stay outside the city for the night. At midnight it suddenly began to snow and they were dying of cold. In order to survive, the scholar asked his disciple to lend him his coat, but was refused at once. Disappointedly, the scholar put his own coat on his disciple, and finally died of cold before dawn.

We can learn from the story that we cannot always expect others to be as noble as ourselves.

My views on watching TV

Watching TV has many advantages. It’s a good way to help us relax. TV makes it possible for us to see many kinds of entertainments in a short time, and watching TV helps us learn a lot.

From my point of view, watching TV has a lot of advantages, but also some disadvantages. On the one hand, watching TV helps us relax and enjoy ourselves. What’s more, it can help us gain a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned from our textbooks. On the other hand, watching TV takes up a lot of our time. And it does great harm to our eyes if we watch it for too long.

I suppose middle school students can watch TV after they finish their homework or during weekends and holidays, but we must first ensure that our studies are going well. Good learners can combine studying and watching TV. Watching TV can be both educational and entertaining.
