There is no denying the fact that it has been a hotly debated topic whether students should attend military training in China in the past years. Opinions on this issue differ sharply. Some hold the positive view while others are strongly against it. Personally, I believe it is essential for students to attend military training.

First, to attend military training is a response to the call for a stronger national defense. Though we are in a relatively peaceful age, the danger of wars never really fades. Some Western powers have never given up their attempt to overturn Chinese government and subject China to their manipulation. Therefore, every Chinese should bear in mind his or her duty to guard the nation against invaders. Military training among students is the most direct means to instill such awareness and familiarize young people with life in the troop.

Secondly, military training serves as an effective way to temper young people’s willpower, develop their team-spirit and cultivate their sense of discipline. As a generation brought up in a peaceful and relatively well-off environment, youngsters today suffer a grave lack of willpower. Compared with previous generations, they are more prone to saying die in the face of difficulties or setbacks. Therefore, they can gain much through the trying drills of military training. Besides, the honor of a military group depends on the effort of each member, which calls for supreme team-spirit, which is another quality that many current young people lack as they are self-centered. Plus, perhaps there can be no other settings like the barrack that demands so much sense of discipline. In these senses, military training provides a perfect chance for those high-fed, coddled and even spoiled youngsters to learn life lessons.

Last but not least, military training supplies a chance to build up students’ bodies. Although most youngsters are enjoying a higher standard of living nowadays than their previous generations, their physical conditions are far from desirable.

Those against military training may be worried by the assumption that a sudden increase of intense physical exercise, especially during summer, may do harm to students’ health and they may cite as evidence the deaths of some students during military training in the past years. But I should point out that those deaths are absolutely exceptional cases and are perfect evidence that students need more such training.

To sum up, military training is not only a means to strengthen student’s physique and willpower, but also an effective way to enhance their sense of national defense and foster their patriotism. Though it proves too much for a few students, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The only thing we need to do is to take measures to ensure that the least harm is done to the trainees.

The Relationship between Historical Grandet and the Future Greatness

Given to the humiliating history of last two centuries，Chinese people always make efforts to build a powerful the recent debate over the rise of China，some grass-root scholars argue that since China had achieved grandeur in ancient times， Chinese people are likely to lead the world logic seems plausible，but is there any causal relationship between historical grandeur and China’s future greatness?

Personally，I do not agree with this ，the argument assumes that they can predict the future by finding evidence in the course of mistake was criticized by Karl Popper in his influential book The Open Society and Its the book，he lenientlessly attacks ’historicism’，which means an approach to make historical predictions by discovering the patterns that underlie the evolutionof other words，precedent can not be used to explain what will happen in the China’s case，undoubtedly，it reached the historical peak in Tang that time，China was preponderant inthe world，for no countries could successfully challenge its consider the world situationat that world was separated by oceans，mountains，and deserts，for the communications means wereso retarded that China enjoyed a relatively safe environment except the threats from neighboring ，is it reasonable to predict that China’s greatness in the future is based on Tang Dynasty’s preponderance when the world is becoming smaller and more intermingled?

Secondly，indicative of finding evidence in the course of history is China’s current China has surpassed Germany as the third largest economy，its per capita income still ranks in the developingcountry is still a wide gap between China and the developed countries in terms of science and technology，education，military strength，and that China is still a developing country， it is understandable that we can gain inspiration from the historical grandeur，but we can not use it as evidence to support our goodwill. What matters a great China in the future is the efforts we are making atpresent.

In conclusion，we can see that there is no causal relationship between China’s grand history and its grandeur can only serve as inspiration to urge us to make more one proverb goes，many hands make light people will build a great nation in the future with combined efforts.

The Role of Luck in Success

It has been said that when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success. Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people, I must disagree with this statement. It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success. For example, many important discoveries have been made by accident. There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device. Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity. And of course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.

While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work. If one is willing to work hard, I believe that success will eventually be achieved, with or without the added benefit of luck. Moreover, hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter. If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills, he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along. Therefore, my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success. Instead, work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.

Some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home. Often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have. Those with very busy jobs outside the house don’t always have time to cook. They like the convenience of eating out. Overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home. While eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spendcan add up. When I have dinner at restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars. I can buy a lot of groceries with that much money. Even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one person. That’s enough to feed the whole family at home.

Eating at home is better for you, too. Meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food--much more food than you need to eat at one meal. If you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients. You can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza. At home, you can control your portion size. You can serve yourself as little as you want. In a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food "because you paid for it". It’s true that eating out is convenient. You don’t have to shop, or cook, or clean up. But real home cooking doesn’t have to take a lot of time. There are lots of simple meals that don’t take long to make. In fact, they’re faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spenddriving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home.

Both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying. Both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends. I prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best.

What Kind Of Life To Live-Realistic Or Romantic?

There has always been an argument between the young and the old about what kind of life to live-realistic or romantic. Young people tend to think real think that real lofe is as dramatic and fascimating as it is in the novels and movies while more experiened adults think this na?ve daydream is certain to be broken by later experiences and everyone should learn to get used to the dull routine of his everydy life.

However, there are some inadequacies in the opinions on the part of both sides. Life will be unimaginable if everything we do is only for realistic purpose, and the same is true if what we do everyday is just to enjoy ourselves. So it’s not difficult for us to see that neither way can ensure a happy life.

In my opinion, a real happy life can never be separated from either of the two ways. On the one hand, let’s enjoy life-enjoy the excitement of sports. On the other, let’s not forget our work. Happy life can never go without hard work.

Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others

Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble. The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration. In my opinion, while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.

There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits. some people even wonder, ‘Is our society hostile to good people?’ The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so. They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compassionate. In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious. Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company. So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.

At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual’s conducts that form social morality. Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other’s position and be sympathetic. If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen. Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness. Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand. It will make you happy and feel better about life.

In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, it is each individual’s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.

It is ridiculousto suspect that professors are professors can stand in front of students and are givinglectures，they are experienced and know more than students after years of research and teaching. For college students，they are required to attentively listen to professors and take notes so that they this sense， when students are busy absorbing what professors are instructing in class，they will become less fussy about professors’delivery skills.

Secondly，for professors，it is their responsibility to have a full preparation for lectures and to deliver effectively the contents of their lectures to the contents can fulfill students’needs，excellent delivery skills will arouse students’interest and hold their attention for a long the fact that students can not select their favorite courses according to their own interests and preferences，professors should make more efforts to prepare for course，each professor has formed his own style after years of teaching. But students in different periods have different characters andneeds;professors can not simply apply their styles to all students. While students in the past might regard professors’ delivery style funny， current students are likely to dislike the style and consider it outdated and manipulative.

On all accounts， as we can reach different conclusion from different perspectives， we can not simply determine delivery ability mattersmore than the contents or vice interesting teaching styles andcontent-loaded contents make professors popular among students，college students should not forget that they are required to acquire knowledge in class.
