Long Holidays
Generally speaking, long holidays are good for us college students.On the one hand, we have a lot of time to study by ourselves and thus improve weaknees and further develop strengths.On the other hand, we can take part-time jobs, which can make us realize responsibility and make ourselves better prepared for social life.
But every coin has two sides.Some students fail to make good use of their time and they are addicted to various computer games.I am afraid that they are likely to ruin themselves in this way.
As far as I am concerned, I will try to make the best use of my precious time.I will spend most of my holidays studying English for that I am very poor at it.In addition, I will take a part-time job as private teacher.By this means, I can earn some money and put my knowledge into practice as well.

On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life.But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory will be disturbed in one way or another.
As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members.On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study.On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.
There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life.Firstly, you have to evaluate your life style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any.Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist.Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.

Silence Is Not Always Gold
“Silence is gold” is a popular saying in which many people have belief.To these people speaking too much is not a merit.However, if you always keep silent, you will probably mi many golden opportunities instead of obtaining the gold of silence.
Last week I read an article written by an office lady.The company where she worked had two kinds of offices: cubicle office and window office.As a new employee she worked in a cubicle office together with twenty colleagues.Two years later she still worked there but some colleagues who came later than her had moved into the window office.She felt confused.One day one colleague told her that window office wasn’t obtained without request.But believing that she certainly gained one if she did a good job the woman had never asked for it.
From the woman’s experience we learn that silence is not always gold.In the modern society one needs to speak his mind and speak for his own interests.

Trying to Renew Knowledge
Today’s society is of knowledge economy age, in which new knowledge emerges much faster than ever before.Moreover, knowledge plays an important part in the whole economy.Therefore, everyone finds it neceary to renew his (or her) knowledge, otherwise he (or her) will be left behind the society.
There are some ways to update knowledge.On the one hand, one can attend different courses at all types of schools, either part-time or full-time.On the other hand, self-study is, in a sense, a more convenient and practical method by which one can effectively renew his (or her) knowledge.
In my view, I have primarily depended on self-taught method in the recent years.Although I am busy doing daily work, I still insist on teaching myself at night.In this way, I can not only keep up with the swift development of society but also apply new knowledge to my practical work, which benefits me a lot.

Social Practice
Social practice is a bridge between their theory and reality.So, in recent years, more and more college students choose to take part-time jobs in or outside school.
In the social practice, students are sure to learn more than their textbooks.Their participation in social practice might strengthen their sense of social responsibility.Their close contact with the working people might help them to apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problem.But many teachers complain that there are fewer and fewer students who pay attention to their study.
In my view, it’s an undenied fact that students break the balance between their jobs and studies, especially when they fall into conflict.But I think students should spend their spare time taking part-time jobs.Timely participation in social practice will benefit them all through their life.

Selecting Courses
Recently, people in growing numbers show their concern about selecting courses.In some colleges, students are permitted to pick out their course’s profeors freely.The reasons are listed as follows:
In the first place, students can choose the teacher according to their interests, which will be helpful for their future careers.Besides, selecting courses can reduce the rate of students’ absence indirectly for students usually choose their favorite teachers.
As far as I am concerned, every coin has two sides.On the one hand, students may learn the course better, because they may choose the profeor they liked.On the other hand, if the profeor who is very popular and a great number of students would like to attend his/her course, the claroom must be overcrowded.It will have a bad impact on the cla.

Dear Ms.Riddle,
I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence from your Oral English cla this Thursday morning.
Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my cousin, who is now operating a small company in suburbs of this city.He needs an interpreter for two days but cannot find the most trustworthy person, so he wants me to make an attempt.It seems to me that this is a golden opportunity to put what I have learned in your cla into practice, but I need your permiion of absence.If you think I may go and help him overcome the difficulty, I am confident that I’ll do a
good job and both of us will be thankful.
Earnestly yours,
Tony
