Are middle school students too young to be on TV shows?

At present there are more and more teen talent shows on the TV screen . Are middle school students too young to be on TV shows? Some students think so. In their opinion, teenagers haven’t formed their own style of performance yet. Just imitating others’ voice and actions is not the real art of singing and performing. It’s reported that some young girls are too absorbed in “star dream”, thus ignoring their study. What’s more, such TV shows take up too much time and energy. As middle school students, they should concentrate on their study at present. However, other students think it right for teenagers to show their talents of art. TV shows like “Super Voice Girls” provide students with an opportunity to participate in social activities, where they can gain rich experience, which will surely contribute a lot to their future musical career. As we all know, different people have different dreams. It’s very important for them to grasp the chance and try to make their dreams come true.

Personally, important as study is, it is not the only thing we can do. We should have a wide range of opportunities to develop our abilities. We may as well show our qualities to people when possible.

(or: As for myself, although it is a good stage for young people to show their ability, as middle school students, they must first have more knowledge. They should put more effort into their schoolwork.)

We middle school students have had many tests or exams

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

[参考范文]

We middle school students have had many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure. Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They try to find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes. They often turn to their teachers, classmates or friends for advice. I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.

[参考范文]

Every student will be faced with the problem when he / she passes the college entrance examinations: Should we choose a good major or a good university first? Views are divided on the topic.

60 percent of the students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. Only in this way can they put their hearts and all their energy into their jobs. Besides, it will also make it possible for them to take up their favorite jobs in the future.

However, the others who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job.

As far as I am concerned, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we can’t obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.
