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.)

[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.

There are differences between high school China and that in the United States.

High school in China lasts three years, while in most US states four years. In China, students are in fixed classes and classrooms. Every day they study hard for around 10 hours and have a solid knowledge which is mainly acquired through their teachers in class. But in the United States, students don’t have fixed classes or classrooms and they sometimes go to their teachers’ offices for classes. They are frequently found in the library or surfing the Internet for more useful knowledge. They spend about 8.5 hours on study a day. They are lively and good at activities organized by themselves. However, in China, the students’ extracurricular activities are mostly organized by school and classes.

In winter holidays, students enjoy various activities. But in different countries students are involved in different things. Middle school students in China usually spend some time on the homework assigned by teachers. Then they prefer to watch TV, or surf on the Internet.

As for the students in America, reading takes up a considerate amount of time in holiday. Besides, they will take an active part in community service or different matches.

Students in China should make better use of their holidays. Apart from reading, they may spare more time to get close to nature and learn through experience, for example, visiting museums. In this way, the holidays will be more attractive and meaningful.

___________________________________________________________________________

[参考范文]

At present, short messages are widely involved in various TV programs. People react to them in different ways.

Some hold the view that short messages offer the audience more chances to participate in the live programs. In this way, the mass media benefit a lot from them. Moreover, they appeal to the need of the young people, so it is a most popular way for young people today.

Critics accuse that if the short messages are out of control, we cannot ensure the taste of the program. What’s more, such kind of messages usually cost more than usual ones; the expense may cause bad feelings among audience. To make matters worse, some adolescents are so addicted to them that too much time and energy are wasted.

As far as I am concerned, the short message is typical of information technology, but it is a powerful tool that needs to be used with care.

They put in about the same amount of time listening to music and working on the computer, 34 minutes and 30 minutes each. While 25 minutes is spent on sports, only 12 minutes goes into housework.

　　 As is shown on Chart 2, only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities. I think the school should encourage the students to do more exercise after class. This way, they may be healthier and more energetic.

Dear Editor,

The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008. Recently our class have had a discussion about its effects on Beijing.

Some students believe there are many good effects. They think the Olympics will encourage people in Beijing to learn English harder, help more people find jobs, prosper tourism and make Beijing more beautiful. Besides it will make China better known to the world. The others think the Olympics will also bring some trouble. For example, at that time, the traffic will be heavier and the environment will be destroyed. Furthermore, holding the Olympic Games will also cause more pollution and waste resources.

As a saying goes, a coin has two sides. So I think the Olympics have both good and bad effects. And it is certain that our government will do something to avoid the bad. What is more, our competitors will do better in the 2008 Olympic Games.

Yours truly,

To be continued or not?

The annual campus cultural festival has drawn back its curtain again, but this year students did not show their great interest and passion for it as before. Hence a discussion has been put forward whether it is necessary to hold the campus cultural festival again.

Some students believe that campus cultural festival can offer a wonderful stage for students to show their talents. Apart from helping students promote their interest in study, a series of activities also enrich the campus culture and make campus atmosphere more active.

However, some students hold different views. They emphasize that they have been kept busy with their study and have no time to spare for the activities of the campus cultural festival. They also state that they can not benefit much from some activities, which in their opinion have little to do with their study.

　　 From my point of view, holding the campus cultural festival is a must. On the one hand, more students will be motivated to develop their potential abilities which will make them qualified for　 their future positions. On the other hand, students will find it a good chance to relax themselves as well as gain much knowledge that can’t be found in the book..

素质教育：Quality-oriented Education

[参考范文]

Quality-oriented Education is being carried out in our province now. Our school calls on us to develop varieties of hobbies and interests. A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time. From the pie chart, we can see 53% of the students like sports, so doing sports is the most popular activity in our school. The second popular activity for students is surfing the Internet and 36% of the students have interest in it. Only a few students, about 8 percent of them, take reading as a hobby. And even fewer are fond of playing musical instruments.

In my point of view, our school should have more sports facilities built to satisfy the need of the students. Guidance should be given to students on surfing the Internet and ways must be found to arouse students’ interests in reading and music.

A survey was taken of public opinions of mis-spelled words which frequently appear on the newspaper.

　　 About 47% of the readers surveyed think that it is inevitable for a newspaper to make some mistakes. Nowadays, there is so much information in numerous newspapers that writers can still make themselves understood even if there are some of careless mistake. Besides , newspapers need easy comprehension so that readers can get what they want the first time. Therefore, it is natural for this kind of things to happen. However, some 53% of them hold the view that the quality of a newspaper depends on the editor’s attitude. If there are too many mis-spelled words, readers will lose interest in the paper gradually.

In my opinion , editors should never be too careful in checking every detail before the paper is published. On the other hand, we readers should be more tolerant to some small mistakes on newspapers.

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese middle school students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to go abroad.

There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who study abroad can make friends with people of different cultures. Second, they can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, they can learn foreign languages more quickly.

However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their motherland, they may feel lonely and homesick. Also ,the costs are much higher there than at home.　　 In spite of these, advantages are more than disadvantages.
