An Argument

I am a Senior 3 student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3, heavily burdened with their studies, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV.　 It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t accept her ideas. I think it is relaxing to watch TV after a day’s hard work. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but it can broaden my horizons. In addition, we can be kept well informed of what’s happening at home and abroad and keep up with the times.

Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news and programs of entertainment, sports or science.

As computers are being used more and more widely in our life，they have brought us a lot of convenience．However，attention should he paid to its bad effects on people's health．

To begin with，the bright screen and the frequently-rolling words on it do much harm to our eyes，which gradually weakens our eyesight．Besides，depending too much on computers may lead to a worse memory．Most importantly，using computers，people tend to sit before them for a long time．That is the reason why many people often feel uncomfortable in the back．And some may even get too fat．

To improve the situation，I think there should be a short rest every other hour to relax our eyes and brain．What's　 more，avoid using the computer unless necessary．After all，we can keep out of the trouble it brings if we use it properly．

Being a popular student

We all hope to be popular with our classmates and teachers．To enjoy popularity, we are supposed to regard the class as our big family and try our best to take an active part in all our class activities．We should be responsible for the work and keep teamwork spirit in mind.

To be a popular student, we must show our respect, concern and sympathy for others．As a result, we never hesitate to lend a hand to those in need.

To be a popular student, we ought to be strict with ourselves in everything we do at school and make an effort to achieve all-round development, being good not only at our lessons but also at sports, music, painting, social services and so on．In time of success we remain modest, while in time of difficulty we keep strong-minded.
