　　2.Certificate Craze On Campus 考证热

　　1)近几年大学校园内出现“考证热”

　　2)产生这一现象的原因

　　3)你的看法

　　In recent years, getting a certificate <http://dict.hjenglish.com/app/w/certificate> has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly <http://dict.hjenglish.com/app/w/randomly> ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing; quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?

　　There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon <http://dict.hjenglish.com/app/w/phenomenon>. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion <http://dict.hjenglish.com/app/w/expansion> of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications <http://dict.hjenglish.com/app/w/qualification> for a job, the students compel <http://dict.hjenglish.com/app/w/compel> themselves to run from one exam to another.

　　From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

　　3  College Graduates Work as Village Officials

　　1. 你是否认为大学生当村官是个好主意；

　　2. 大学生能给乡村提供些什么；

　　3. 大学生能从村官职位中获得什么。

　　【范文】

　　Nowadays many college graduates choose to work as village officials in the remote areas. To this, people’s attitudes differ sharply. Some hold the positive view while others are against it. As far as I am concerned, I believe that it is a wise choice.

　　Above all, college graduates can contribute a lot to the development of the countryside. First, they can apply their professional knowledge there. Secondly, they can introduce new concepts to the countryside and speed the development of rural culture. As a result, the gap between the city and the countryside can well be bridged. In addition, these graduates can benefit a lot from working as village officials. While too many college graduates are fighting for the handful of positions in big cities, these graduates can find themselves a wider stage of development and realize their value.

　　Therefore, college graduates working as village officials is a win-win choice and more graduates should be encouraged to work in the countryside.

　　4.On Water Shortage 。

　　1. 水资源短缺已成为严重问题；

　　2. 造成水资源短缺的原因；

　　3. 提出解决方案。

　　No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.

　　A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following might be the critical ones. To begin with, with the development of agriculture and industry, an increasing amount of water is needed. In addition, the ever-increasing population is another leading cause of water shortage. Besides, the global tendency of warming up also contributes to the problem. What’s worse, pollution and waste of fresh water aggravate the situation.

　　In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that laws and regulations be worked out and enforced to protect water resources. Secondly, people should enhance their awareness of saving water. With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to expect a brighter future.

　　5.To Curb Expenditure of University Students

　　1. 如今大学生消费水平偏高。

　　3. 我的看法。

　　To Curb Expenditure of University Students

　　With the improvement of people’s living conditions, the expenditure of university students, those who belong to the so-call generation of little emperors, are increasing accordingly. We may often see college students wear name brand costumes and visit places of luxury with friends or their sweethearts.

　　People’s views differ greatly on the high expenditure of university students. Some people insist that it is ok so long as the money is earned in a lawful way. On the contrary, critics argue that the high expenditure is against our tradition of thrift. This has triggered a heated debate on university campus.

　　In my opinion, the increasingly high expenditure of university is not a healthy tendency. Firstly, students may form a bad habit of splashing money like water, which has a negative impact on their future life. Secondly, the students whose expenditure is rather high may fall victims of violators. Still worse, the high expenditure is a heavy burden for most families, who earn money in a lawful way. It is a terrible behavior indeed.

　　In short, we should say No to the high expenditure of university students. I hope everyone will be aware of this and stick to the tradition of thrift all the time.

　　6.Q-zones /BLOGS

　　1. 如今QQ空间越来越流行

　　2. QQ空间流行的原因

　　3. QQ空间可能带来的问题

　　During the past some ten years, Q-zones have become more and more popular among Chinese people, especially young people. I’d admit that it is a great pleasure to visit someone’s q-zone decorated with beautiful photos and touching background music.

　　Q-zone is fairly in fashion out of the following three reasons. Firstly, Q-zone services are basically free of charge and no one could reject a free lunch. Secondly, businessmen regard Q-zone as a perfect place for advertising. Most importantly, Q-zones provide a free and convenient place for netizens to communicate with each other. No wonder the number of Q-zones has reached 100 million so far in China.

　　However, Q-zones may inevitably have some problems. Firstly, your personal information in your Q-zone may ooze out. Secondly, potential violators may steal your password with Trojans and fraud your cyber-acquaintances. Still worse, Q-zones might be taken advantage of by spies/antagonists to spread anti-Communism and anti-CPC words. That is terrible indeed.

　　Anyway, Q-zones are a convenient and necessary tool/place for communication in today’s China. I hope the departments concerned will take effective measures to guarantee the security and purity of Q-zones.

　　7.Hunting for Jobs on the Internet

　　1. 如今许多学生喜欢在网上求职

　　2. 网上求职的好处

　　3. 你对网上求职的看法

　　Nowadays, more and more people tend to hunt for jobs through the use of the Internet. Logging on job hunting or headhunting websites such as Chiton and CNR, we will see millions pieces of information of various job-hunters.

　　This means of job-hunting, in my opinion, has advantages beyond compare. Firstly, you can get exposed to a great number of employers when hunting jobs on the Internet. Secondly, you can revise your résumé whenever and wherever you want. Most Importantly, the service is free of charge and it helps you save a big sum of fees for xerox. It is really convenient for job-hunters.

　　I think two measures should be done to make job-hunting on the Internet better. On one hand, more units, including schools and governmental agencies, should try employing staff from cyber job-hunters. On the other hand, the departments concerned should take effective measures to prevent false employment information from cheating job-hunters.

　　In short, job-hunting on the Internet has helped more youngsters get jobs. I hope more and more job-hunters will benefit from this means of job-hunting.

　　8.College Students Using Credit Cards

　　1． 越来越多的大学生使用信用卡

　　2． 有人认为大学生使用信用卡不好

　　3． 你的观点

　　Nowadays, more and more college students own a couple of bank cards, including a credit card. When you want to deposit or withdraw a sum of money at the bank counter, the clerks in the bank are always trying to persuade you into applying for a credit card of their bank.

　　People’s views differ greatly on college students’ using credit cards. Supporters insist that having a credit card saves your carrying cash around. In contrast, critics argue that credit cards prevent your from controlling your desire of purchase. This has triggered a heated debate in the society.

　　I don’t think it is proper for college students to have a credit card. Firstly, you may find it quite handy when you purchase buy you may feel depressed when you have to pay off the debt 50 days later. Secondly, you may have a bad record in the bank if you fail to pay off the debt in time. Still worse, some students intentionally cash out with credit cards and violate the law.

　　In short, using credit cards may lead college students to great damage beyond redemption, I hope banks will stop issuing credit cards to college students.

　　9.TRUST CRISIS IN TODAY’S CHINA

　　4. 当今中国面临严重信任危机

　　5. 信任危机产生的原因

　　6. 信任危机的应对措施

　　As we all know, mutual trust is the base of interpersonal communication. However, we are faced with an increasingly serious trust crisis in today’s society.

　　The trust crisis can be attributed to the following three reasons. Firstly, the fierce competition for food, employment and housing makes people greedy and sly. Secondly, people are getting more and more prudent in communication to protect themselves from being hurt. Still worse, the government and it media play a bad role in the loss of social trust. It is predictable that a nation without the sense of trust has no future.

　　In my opinion, three measures should be adopted against the trust crisis in the society. Firstly, people are expected to try trusting each other once more. Secondly, people who are not trustworthy should be looked down upon and punished. In addition, the government and its media should attach great importance to the publicity of social trust.

　　In short, everyone is responsible for dealing with the social trust crisis. I hope we will trust each other like brothers and sisters someday.

　　10.Reserving Seats on Campus

　　1. 如今占座位成为很普遍的现象

　　2. 这种现象会产生什么影响

　　3. 你的看法

　　Nowadays, reserving seats has become more and more common on university campuses. We can always see a table or a seat in the canteen or in the library covered with a book, a bag or a cup, which indicates that the seat is taken.

　　（This is a scene in the library. From this picture we can see the tables and the seats are covered with a book, a bag or a cup, which indicates that the seat is taken.）

　　This phenomenon has negative impacts on the healthy tendency on campus, of course. Firstly, it is a selfish behavior since you occupy the seat with your belongings while you are away. Secondly, it is unfair to other people because they cannot take a seat even though they arrive early. Still worse, school authorities have trouble controlling and counting the number of visitors. Reserving seats will surely damage the image of students as well as the school.

　　In my opinion, two measures should be taken against this behavior. On one hand, libraries and canteens should provide more seats for students. On the other hand, students should be advised to study elsewhere instead of reserving seats.

　　In a word, we should say No to reserving seats on campus. I hope everyone will be a civilized student.

　　11.College Students’ Absence from Class

　　1. 如今许多大学生好翘课

　　2. 大学生好翘课的原因

　　3. 大学生翘课的对策

　　Nowadays, college students’ absence from class has become more and more common on campus. Entering a lecture hall during a class, you will see a great number of empty seats.

　　College students’ absence from class can be attributed to the following three reasons. Firstly, the students are not strict with themselves, thinking that the four years in college is for them to idle away their time. Secondly, teachers don’t care the students’ attendance in their class, what they care is how to finish their lessons as soon as possible and where to moonlight after class. Still worse, school authorities don’t have a rigid regulation against students’ absence. No wonder it has become such an unhealthy tendency on campus.

　　In my opinion, three measures should be taken against students’ absence. Firstly, the absence of students should be kept as a bad record in the students’ files. Teachers should be requested to check students’ attendance before and (not or) after class. Most importantly, school authorities should help students realize the harm of being absent from class so that they will try their best to improve themselves.

　　In short, everyone is responsible for keeping students from being absent from class. I hope there will be a great change in the class attendance with our joint effort.
