My View on Fate
Different people have different views on fate. Some people think that fate is predestined and nobody can change it, while others argue that everybody is the master of his fate and he can change it with his own hands.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. For one thing, I firmly believe all men are born equal and nobody is destined to always succeed or fail in his life. For another, if a person is diligent and determined, he will realize his dream no matter how poor, humble or unlucky he may be. Just think of Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite after countless experiments during which he lost his brother and got seriously injured himself.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as destined fate in our life. Only if we hold on to our dream can we turn it into reality, just as the saying goes, “Everybody is the architect of his own fortune”.

1. The new study suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women.
2. She may consume additional meat or take iron supplements.
3. Just as every coin has two sides, however, exercise can also bring us harm. If you are normally inactive and then, prompted by a sudden impulse, start a big program of intense exercise, there are more chances that you have yourself injured. In addition, as for those who go on a fat-reducing diet, the more exercise they take, the greater loss of iron they will suffer and the worse their health conditions will get. And worst of all, continual as well as excessive exercise is more likely to result in sudden death. Thus, how to go in for exercise is something worth more of our concern.

The Effects of Exercise on Our Health
As is known to all, exercise does bring a lot of benefits to our health. First, it can greatly strengthen our hearts, lungs, bones and muscles, thereby changing our whole health for the better. Besides, it can make our brains better able to react to what is going on around us. And best of all, it can help us breed optimism about our tough life.
But all the above does not mean that we can turn a blind eye to the negative effects exercise brings about. If you are normally inactive and then, contrary to your usual habit, start a program of undue exercise, as a succession of scientific studies reveals, there are more chances that you have yourself injured. In addition, the more exercise those on a fat-reducing diet take, the more loss of iron they will suffer and the worse their health will get. And worst of all, continual as well as excessive exercise can result in sudden death.
Therefore, a scientific approach must be adopted to the problem of exercise. On the one hand, our physical exercise must be based on both progressiveness and regularity. On the other, we must go in for physical exercise according to local as well as health conditions of our own. In sum, exercise can do us good or harm, all depending on how we make use of it.

How to Eliminate Cheating on Campus
Nowadays, instead of listening attentively in class and working hard after class, a number of students adopt all kinds of dishonest methods to get high scores in examinations. It has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.
To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind, it calls for the efforts from all sides. First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behavior in the examinations, from whispering and copying, receiving answering via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely published with no exception. Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully. Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight against dishonest behaviors throughout the life.
How can anybody expect to lead a meaningful life if he is not far from any kind of cheating behaviors? Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.

In Honor of Teachers on the Occasion of Teacher’s Day
On this special occasion, Teacher’s Day, I would like to extend my heartiest greetings to all the respectable teachers.
Frankly speaking, I’ve enjoyed many a vivid memory of how my teachers helped me out of trouble. For instance, one chilly winter, I was so seriously sick that the doctor told me to have to be in hospital for at least one month. That upset me a lot because it meant I would miss many lessons and yet the final examination was only one month away. Right in this difficult time, my English teacher came to me, and said, “Don’t worry. I will help you make up for all your missing English classes”. She really did so but only at the cost of her leisure time. Thanks to her help, I did a pretty good job in the examination.
I’ll never forget her as well as other teachers who have dedicated their time to helping me. To repay their kindness, I’m sure to work harder and make myself a useful person to the society.

Your Help Needed
Dear friends,
I’m writing to you, on behalf of the student union, to ask for help for our schoolmate, Zhanglin, from Class A. He, from an average family, got leukemia two months ago. Currently, his condition has been promoted quite a lot but still require further treatments.
As he has been in hospital for so long a time, his family is now poverty-stricken. Worse still, his mother was dismissed for having been absent from work too long, because she had to take care of him in the hospital. With another operation approaching, his family is tortured by the enormous fees demanded. His parents have racked their brains for ways of collecting money for the cure of his illness and managed to get some. However, that is far from enough yet. Moreover, his mother needs someone else to help attend to him.
It is high time that we should help him out of the present difficulty. For those who are kind enough to offer their help, please phone 1234567 or go and put your donations into the collection box in front of Room 216 and you can also go directly to our office to sign your name so that you can take care of him by turns.
Thank you for your kindness!

The Two-day Weekend
The two-day weekend has brought a lot of benefits to college students ever since the beginning. First, it gives students time to digest what has been taught in class and gain a better mastery of professional knowledge and skills. Second, students can also conduct experiments and participate in social activities to combine theory with practice. Third, they can also do sports to strengthen their bodies or take a rest to prepare for the coming week.
Though it does good to college students in many ways, the two-day weekend can never be said to bring no problems. For one thing, too many lectures crowd into the weekdays, and students can hardly keep pace with them. For another, quite a few students spend their time playing video games or chatting on the internet instead of focusing on study. How can they make progress in their specialties if they waste too much time?
In order to make good use of the two-day weekend, I form the habit of making a concrete plan for each weekend. On the one hand, I always set aside enough time for reviewing lessons and reading reference books. On the other hand, I usually go to the gymnasium to swim twice in all seasons. By carefully planning my time, I am confident to be not only healthy in body but also intelligent in mind.

Hunting for a Job on the Internet
For a number of years, there has been a steady rise in the number of hunting for a job on the internet. Instead of hunting for a job in the ads of a newspaper or in a job market, a job seeker can look for a job on the Internet. In fact, many people prefer it to the traditional ways of finding a job.
Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon. In the first place, it’s convenient. A job hunter can find a job without bothering to get recommendation from relatives or friends, which spares them much time and effort. In the second place, it’s simple. A job seeker can get a job by simply browsing among the want ads online and sending his resumes via e-mail. In the third place, the success rate is high. One can apply for several relevant vacancies at the same time.
As far as I’m concerned, I believe, with the increasing popularity of Internet, this new method will win favor among more and more people for its convenience, efficiency and high success rate.

How People Spent Their Holiday
As is shown in the table, the past decade has witnessed dramatic changes in the way people spent their holidays. During the period from 1999 to 2009, the number of people chosing to spend their holidays in traveling rose from 35% to 70%, while the mumber of people chosing to stay at home decreased from 65% to 30%. Obviously more and more people prefer traveling to staying at home in holidays.
We believe that three reasons can account for this phenonmenon. First, with the development of the national economy, people earn much more money than they used to, so they can afford a trip to other places. Second, compared with the past, transport facilities have been greatly improved, which makes it easier and more convinent for people to travel long distances. Third, the fast tempo of modern society put many people under stress. Traveling just offers a good opportunity for people to relax and relieve stress.
We are happy to see that things are becoming better and better nowadays, we can imagine that there is a growing tendency for people to travel instead of staying at home during holidays.

1) Happy marriages, however, share the same secrets as follows:
① Maintaining attraction for and trust with each other;
② Development of free communication and mutual understanding of the marital happiness;
③ Cherishing personal as well as sexual values;
④ Readiness to give each other sentimental care;
⑤ Help for personality development;
⑥ Performance of accepted duties and fulfillment of expected responsibilities;
⑦ Respect for each other’s privacy;
⑧ Fulfillment of social obligations to maintain the marital status.
2) It depends, I should say. If I am lucky enough to bathe myself in a romantic and true love, the prenup will be the last thing I should do, for I don’t want it to take the romance or the pure love out of my marriage. But if I am too unlucky to find my true love, such an agreement will be a must, because it can not only save me from endless quarrels over the responsibilities for marital life but also shed light on the issues which could later widen and result in divorce. So let there be prenups if they are the only way to prevent a terrible marriage.

Unemployment upon Graduation
The recent years have witnessed an unfavorable social phenomenon—more and more college students become unemployed as they graduate.
After contemplation and meditation, we can find three possible reasons which account for this trend. First of all, the expansion of universities provide chances for more students to receive higher education, but the job market can’t develop at the same speed. What’s more, the situation is even worse with those students who choose the hot majors such as economic and accounting. In the third place, many students think too highly of themselves—they will not to work at all if they are not satisfied with the job. They may think the pay is not satisfactory or the job is not decent at all.
The solutions to this problem seen more than clear on this occasion. Firstly, to create more job opportunities, the government should gradually optimize the industrial structure, putting more emphasis on the service industry. Moreover, university authorities should be extremely careful in enrolling new students, taking the job market into consideration. Students should also think twice before choosing the major. Last but by no means least, college graduates should shift their view upon many new occupations—any job is good as long as it brings job satisfaction and a bright future .
It is quite natural that we meet such problems along the route of social and economic development. As long as the government, universities and students make joint efforts, a sound solution is not far away.

Nowadays, there is a growing tendency for children to attend school at a very early age, especially for the sake of early intelligence development. Personally speaking, I do not agree with this practice at all .
First of all, a child grows up under certain pattern, and it is harmful for him to go to school earlier, especially bad for his mental and physical growth. In reality, he will feel it difficult to keep up with his peers.Secondly, the younger child is always in an inferior position in comparison with other classmates, and he is more likely to be bullied by other students. Last but not least, it is much more difficult for this child to make friends, which will inevitably hinder his personality development.
To win up my discussion, my conclusion is that it is not advisable for children to go to school too early. For both the mental and physical health of children, the age of seven is a good choice
