Why Do People Keep Pets?
With the increasing improvement of their life, many people are wild about keeping pets.Nowadays, it is very common that we see people taking a walk leisurely with their dear pets along the streets towards evening.At social gatherings people who like keeping pets exchange their experience on taking care of pets.One is not
surprised if a pet costs as high as one’s annual earnings.However, why do people keep pets?
The answer to this problem involves many factors.First, pets make us happy and far from lonely as human companions.Second, pets give us a sense of being important and needed because they depend on us for home, food and drink.Besides, a pet in a family keeps us in touch with the more natural, animal world.
However, it is my belief that some problems can’t be ignored since the growing number of pets may leads to hygiene problems.In many public places pets should be forbidden to enter because they are likely to spread disease and interfere with other people.In short.we should always keep our environment clean at any time.

Private Tutoring
A recent investigation shows that private tutoring is “in” and that an increasing number of college students choose to be tutors in their spare time.
Nowadays, on the one hand, many parents are attaching greater importance to education for their children.However, many of them are helple when their children meet with difficulties in study.Private tutoring may be the better solution.On the other hand, those students who work as tutors usually come from poor families or have financial difficulties, they want to make money for themselves and relieve the burden of their parents.In addition, some students expect to be aociated with society by working as tutors.
However, some people think that college students should make good use of their time in study, but not wasting their valuable time as tutors.As for me, it is not a bad thing for college students to be tutored in their spare time as long as they are able to arrange their time well.

Part IWriting:
Where There is Will ，There is Way
This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, you will overcome any difficulties until you eventually succeed.
If one wants to succeed in doing something, he must obtain great courage to face and overcome any difficulties he encounters on his way to achieve the goal.He should learn to strengthen his will and can’t allow failures to defeat him.Many succeful people home and abroad have achieved amazing achievements just because they have such characters.
Let’s take English study for example , many people want to learn English well, but the result is usually opposite to their wish just because those people are lack of strong will to win through obstacles and to keep learning English often.However, those who are really determined to learn English well are never afraid of difficulties in learning English and always persist in learning it.Therefore, they can finally succeed in learning English well and really master a foreign language.

Part IWriting:
Job Problems for College Graduates
According to the charts, only 48 percent of graduates in 1994 could find jobs related to their majors, compared with 89 percent in 1981 when china had its first college graduates after the Cultural Revolution.Why do college graduates find it increasingly difficult to get a satisfactory and rewarding job?
One reason perhaps is that many colleges and universities fail to get their curricula to the development of industries.Degree courses offered in many colleges and universities are so out-dated and irrelevant and impractical that employers as well as students themselves find it hard to translate their book knowledge into real job skills.
Secondly, there is an oversupply of graduates with certain specialty, and this oversupply is increasing.The result is that many of them cannot
enter the profeion for which they are trained and have to take other jobs which even do not require a college degree.
On the other hand, the disparity in pay between intellectual work and busine management has frustrated the hope and ambition of the graduates who major in education, administration and liberal arts.
College graduates are, so to speak, valuable resources in our country.The problems they encounter in job hunting deserve more attention form the colleges and the government.The colleges should get students out of the ivory tower and gear their courses to the real needs of industry and busine; while the government should provide college graduates with more vocational opportunities, better working conditions and decent salaries.
开头用“according to”对图表简单进行叙述，在核心段用“one reason is that； secondly；on the other hand”进行详细论证。最好结尾表达自己的观点，总结全文并回答文章开头所提出的问题。
