My opinions on

advertisement

Advertisements appear everywhere in modern society. There are many ways to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers and billboards carry advertisements; some products are

announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience. Advertising is a big

industry and many agencies are set up for furnish a variety of services for it.

However, advertising is not welcome sometimes. A most irritating thing is to watch advertisements before and during films on TV. There are so many of them that they make you forget what you are sitting there for. The ironical thing is that

advertisements of one type of things are often shown one after another so that you are confused as to which product you

should choose. What’s more, advertising is not always truthful. The advertisers

exaggerate the benefits of the merchandise they want to sell in order to gain more profits. Thus the consumer falls victim to such advertising.

Although there are disadvantages of ads, we can not forget the advantages and the conveniences they bring to us. First, by telling us where something is available, they may save us money and time. They guide us in finding suitable jobs and other information as well.Secondly, a wide range of activities and institutions receive financial support through advertising.

Without this support we would have to pay much more for newspapers and sports games. Thirdly, perfect advertisements

even provide entertainment. A

considerable amount of effort goes into their production. So in most cases the photography is truly artistic, the slogans are genuinely witty, and the situations are decidedly funny.

Generally speaking, advertisements have become one of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today. Let us make our life easier by learning to choose proper ads, and be the master of advertisements, not their salve.

Example Two

Children Should Begin

their Formal

Schooling at an Early Age.

People have different views on what children should do at a very early age. Some think that children should begin their

formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play.

Both views are based on respective ground.

Those who argue for the playing time for children suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on

learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies

such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young

children can hardly concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer than 15 minutes or so.

But we can arrange classes for shorter periods, can’t we? And we can shift teaching

subjects. Through putting them to study, young children are occupied with learning but not

with playing.

Those who argue for children’s early

commencement for formal education believe that being put to studies,

children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develop children’s mental

abilities like the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and the ability to do simple calculation. Children’s habit of studying and love for learning are of great

importance to youngsters because these two things set up the sound

foundation for their future

studies.

Having children start formal education at a very early age benefits young children much more than simply letting them play most of their time. A good habit needs a long time to develop to become a second nature.

More importantly, it is better to develop a good habit before a bad one may grow. Similarly, the love for learning should

take toots for before the love for playing is established.

Example Three

Should a person make an important decision alone?

A person should never make an important decision alone, important decisions should be well thought out.

People, who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different

perspective, or share their own experience.

When I had difficulty deciding which classes to take in collage, I talked to my teachers and advisers; they had the

knowledge and expertise to help me

determine which classes were the best ones to take for my future career. Without their advice, I might have chosen unsuitable courses.

In collage, I had convinced myself that I was not good enough to act in the school play. Therefore, I decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion. The day of the audition, a friend of mine asked me why I was not auditioning. When I told her I did not feel I was good enough, she was shocked; she was able to provide me with another perspective on myself and my talents. I rethought my decision and tried out….and got a lead in the play.

Last year when I was trying to decide whether or not I should study overseas, I talked to my friend. This was the best thing

I could have done. This was a big decision for me because I had never been overseas on my own and I was not sure if I could do it. She had studied overseas the precious year. She told me about the challenges and opportunities I might encounter and helped me make the right decision. I went and it was amazing.

Whenever I am faced with an important decision, I seek advice from others so that I am well-informed and have the benefit of their perspective and experience.

Example Four

Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life. Just as Joseph

Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and

specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.

First things first, ambition renders（实施） us a sense of mission. No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation（方向）, or more specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness.（1） Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. （2）John Milton, stimulated

always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which

England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature.

In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full. Ambition may well serve as a catalyst（催化剂） activating（使活动） one’s dormant（静止的） potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remain

slumbering（睡眠） like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Heidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Heidi into a well-accomplished figure whose

achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.

Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, one’s

ambition may bring havoc （大破坏）on him and others. （1）Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and

suffering. （2）Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.

To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad;

life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad,; life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition.

Example Five

Living in university dormitories or apartments in the community?

I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life.

Student’s needs change over four years, so their housing should too.

Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but

everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out

the university bureaucracy.

Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for

becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university

administration.

Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for

life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood.

Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. There

are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel.

I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.

Providing physical exercises should not be the schools responsibility?

While physical exercise is important, I do not believe that it is the school’s

responsibility to provide physical training for its students. That is something that everyone can take care of on his or her own.

Many students get plenty of physical exercise as part of their daily life or recreation. A student who bicycles ten miles to and from school does not need more exercise. A good physical education program must take a student’s outside activity into consideration. Otherwise, some students will spend valuable class hours repeating physical exercise.

If a school offers such activities, it also suggests that students will be graded on them. The range of possible physical activities is great: football, swimming,

weight lifting, ballet, ballroom dance, yoga,

skiing, horseback riding, and golf are just a few. However, the number of activities that a school could offer is small. Some

students could get bad grades in physical education simply because the school could not provide an activity they enjoy or do well. This seems unfair. Research suggests that participation, not excellence, in these activities determines the physical benefits the body will get.

Another issue is economic. Many schools do not have the money to provide gory facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their student. Other schools are located in cities where the kind of space just is not available. A few schools would rather keep money for academic purposes.

Schools can certainly encourage physical activity. They can provide space

for activities, events, and classes for physical activities. They can encourage students to plan time away from academic studies to get some exercise. However, I think that providing exercise should not be the schools responsibility.

Example Six

Advantages and

Disadvantages of Studying Abroad.

Some people believe that attending a college or university in a foreign country has many advantages. They think that attending a college or university abroad can help them learn more than they can from universities in their own country, especially when they go to a developed country where they can catch up with the pace of scientific and technical advance of the world from that country' s modern lab facilities.

In addition, they can pick up the latest developments of the living language there more quickly, develop their ability of coping with the routine matters such as finding a part-time job, renting a house and

helping with the house work, and learn many new things to widen their views and broaden their minds.

But some people don't agree to it. They think that attending a college or

university in foreign country also has many disadvantages and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

They hold that students studying in a foreign country will have more difficulties in both life and study. The most serious problem is the language barriers. They have to spend much time learning a foreign language and even if they have learned the language, they still can' t understand thoroughly what the foreigners and teachers say just because of the unfamiliar culture background and social customs.

So if they are not persons full of courage, flexibility, and determination, they are most likely to fail and learn nothing eventually. Besides, since costs and expenditure are much higher than

those in their native country, most overseas students have to work for a living, and will find it impossible for them to pay all attention to studying. So it is of benefit to them if they study in their own country.

The above two viewpoints, I should say, are all reasonable in some respects. But I support the first kind of people. I think people should attend a college or university in a foreign country if they can. In this way they can learn not only the useful

knowledge of science but also the culture and Customs of other nations.

Besides, they can learn some new

ideas and, when they come back, bring in some fresh air in our way of thinking and promote the development of our country. If nobody went to study abroad because of the disadvantages, the development of our country would be slower.
