Smoking Is Harmful It is said that about half of people in China smoke.Many young boys and girls have the habit of smoking, though they are middle school students
As we all know, smoking does great harm to human beings.More and more people have come to realize how serious this problem is.But they are never bored with it.Some people think it is a kind of fashion, some think it is of great fun and others think that smoking can refresh themselves.Smoking causes many illnees.A lot of people always cough because of smoking.The most serious illne caused by smoking is lung cancer.Meanwhile smoking is a waste of money.Besides, carele smokers may cause dangerous fires.In order to keep healthy, we should get rid of the bad habit of smoking.Please stop smoking at once. 吸烟有害
据说，中国有一半人在吸烟。许多男孩和女孩都有吸烟的习惯，尽管他们还是中学生。 众所周知，吸烟对人身体有害。越来越多的人们认识到这个问题的严重性，但他们仍然乐此不疲。一些人认为抽烟是一种时尚，一些人认为抽烟很有趣，还有一些人认为吸烟可以提神。
吸烟能导致很多疾病。由于吸烟，一些人一直在咳嗽。肺癌是吸烟导致的最严重的疾病。同时，吸烟很浪费金钱。除此而外，粗心的烟民还可能引起火灾。
为了保证人们的身体健康，我们应当改掉吸烟的坏习惯。请立即停止吸烟吧。 Is Watching TV a Good Thing Television has changed people's life much since it was invented.Now it has become an important part of modem life.
People enjoy themselves after hard work by Watching TV.They can see some plays, some stories,some sports matches without going out of home, and without spending much money in buying tickets.TV programmes make people's life more interesting.People learn much from TV.Students can study by watching some educational programmes.People can see news, weather reports; programmes about science and computers.People all over the world can learn from each other and get knowledge when they are watching TV.But not all the progranunes are ,good enough.Today, there are too many programmes about sexy and crime.Some young people become bad because they learn from the bad people in those programmes.And watching TV usually takes too much time.It's not good for people's work and study.It's not good foi' their eyes, either.People all over the world are watching TV.Is watching TV a good thing or a bad one? I think it depends on people themselves.If one can choose good programmes and he doesn't spend too much time on TV, it can be a good thing for him.
看电视是一件好事情吗
电视自从发明后，就大大改变了人们的生活。现在的电视已成为人们生活中重妻的一部分。
人们通常在辛勤工作后，通过看电视来享受生活。他们足不出户就可欣赏一些精彩的表演、连续剧和体育比赛，也不必花很多钱买票。电视节目使人们的生活变得更有趣。
人们从电视中学到很多东西。学生能通过看教育节目来学习，人们能看新闻、天气预报、有关科学和电脑的节目。世界各地的人们通过看电视互相学习，相互了解。 但并不是所有的节目都足够好。如今的电视节目中有太多关于色情和犯罪的片段。有些青年变坏就是因为受了电视上坏人的引诱。电视看得太多还会耽误时间，影响学习和生活，对视力也不好。
世界各地的人们都在看电视。看电视是一件好事情，还是一件坏事情呢?我认为这取决于自己。只要大家有选择，有节制，看电视就是一件好事情。 Use of Free Time With the working hours becoming shorter and shorter and holidays becoming longer and longer, how to spend the leisure time has become a hot topic.
The use of free time often discloses much about one's tastes, values, interests and personality.Some may take to the humanities: literature, magic, art, and they might be interested in movies and television.Others participate in sports, politics, voluntary work or hobbies at home.Still others like parties, traveling, .or just loafing.Obviously, the use of free time is a good means of relaxation, but its benefits go beyond this.All things people do in leisure hours enable them to gratify their wishes.This can contribute to intellectual growth and promote social activities as well.So the good use of free time will make life rich, colorful and rewarding. 空余时间的利用
随着工作时间的越来越短假日的越来越长，如何度过空甲时间已经成为一个热点话题。 空余时间的利用往往透露出一个人的品位、价值、兴趣和个性。有些人喜欢文学、巫术和艺术等人文学科，他们也许对电影、电视感兴趣，另一些人参加运动、政治、志愿工作或者在家做喜欢的事情，还有一些喜欢聚会、旅游或者只样生活就没有趣味可言了。我们一直忙于谋生。虽然我们可以通过努力工作取得幸福、满足和成功，但人不是机器。迷就是说；我们应当适当地休息。如果我们经常从事远足、跳舞、钓鱼、登山(在空闲时间里)等活动，我们的生活将变得多姿多彩。另-千方面，如果你只有娱乐而不工作也是不可取的。所以，在人们的生活中，工作和娱乐应互相结合。为了生活得更快乐，我们应保持工作和娱乐的平衡。
The Value of Reading Books People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world.But I don't think so.In my opinion, to read books is more valuable than anything else.The old saying "To open a book is always helpful" clearly tells us how good it is to read a book.Books are our friends.They introduce us different kinds of knowledge.They lead us down the road to succe.Books are our teachers.They teach us troth, science, literature, and philosophy of life.Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience,strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.Books tell us what is good and what is evil.And only books can tell the good from the bad.Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.读书的价值
人们常说金子和银子是世界上最有价值的东西，但我不这样认为。在我看来，读书比任何其他事情更有价值。
“开卷有益”清楚地告诉了我们读书有多好。
书是我们的朋友。它们向我们介绍不同种类的知识，它指导我们沿着成功之路前行。 书是我们的老师。它们教我们真理、科学、文学和生活的哲理，同时它们增加了我们的知识，扩大了我们的视野，增强了我们的个性，使我们还做了在没有书的情况下绝不可能完成的其他事情。
书能让我们明辨是非，并且只有书才能让我们吸取反面教训。 因此，读更多的书是我们青少年学生的明智之举。
1.大学毕业后有的人希望在大公司工作。
2.有的人则认为在小公司工作更能锻炼人。 3.我的看法。 参考范文：
Large Companies and Small Companies
Upon graduation from college，young men and women face the first choice in their career life：to go to a large company or a small one？ Although many graduates are attracted by the prestige of large companies，I believe the small one will afford more chances of succe and more opportunities to develop your ability.There are two basic differences between the large and small enterprises.
First，working in the small company you operate primarily through personal contacts；you have more chance to develop your communication ability and the ability to handle various kinds of personalities.In contrast，in the large company there are established policies and fairly rigid procedures.Even the man at the top is only a cog in a big machine： you needn’t make any decision and can’t see the effect of your work„„
Second，in a small busine you are normally exposed to all kinds of experiences and expected to do a great many things without too much help or guidance.Thus，you may acquire much more skills and experience，and develop the ability to handle different，complicated things.But in the large corporation，since you are normally taught one thing and limited to one procedure，you may become the man who knows more and more about le and le.Obviously if you want to gain more experience and ability needed in busine organizations and to become an excellent manager or executive in your future career，working in a small company is your best choice.

展望我的未来-An Outlook on My Future An Outlook on My Future-展望我的未来
I earnestly hope to lead a healthy and prosperous life in the future.Judging from my aptitude inclination and personality streaks, my ideal life will be that of a scientist, researching, lecturing, and writing books.As I am from a farming family, I particularly enjoy being close to earth.If I can afford to live a pastoral life in the countryside, I will feel most bleed.As far as social life is concerned, simplicity is what I intend to pursue, so I really don＇t need too many friends.All these will be mere talk if I am idle now.To attain my goal, I must make a point of training my body and mind.This is a highly competitive society in which everyone is eager to come out on top.That is not only a competition of physical strength and mental power, but a marathon of patience, faith, and perseverance.Life is not all roses, but with what I am being equipped with by the top teachers in this elite school, I surely deserve a promising prospect. 我恳切地希望将来能过着健康而顺遂的一生。从我的能力倾向及人格特质来判断，我理想的生活方式将是担任一名科学家，从事研究讲学以及著作。由于我来自农家，尤其喜欢亲近土地。如果我有经济能力在乡下过着田园生活，我会深感福佑。至于社交生活，「单纯」是我所要追求的，所以我确实不需要太多的朋友。如果我现在懒散，这一切都将流于空谈；要达成目标，我必须重视锻炼自己的身心。这是一个高度竞争的社会，人人都渴望拔得头筹。那不但是一场体力和脑力的竞争，也是耐心、信心和毅力的马拉松。人生并不全是美好的事，但以我目前得自这所精英聚集的学校的顶尖老师所施的教化，我必定有个光明的前程。

昨天我和李明参加了野外生存训练，那成了我一次难忘的经历。
昨天早上，我们穿上结实而舒服的鞋，背上装好必需品的背包，向大山进发。我们爬上一座山。在山顶，我们看到了一个方向标，告诉我们该向哪儿走。下了山，我们来到一条河边。没有船但我们必须过去。幸运的是我们都学会了游泳。但是我们不能把背包里的东西弄湿。看到一块木板，我有了主意。我们把背包放到木板上，推着木板在水里游。到了对岸后，我们用指南针找到北，向北走了半小时。终于，我们到了宿营地。我们支上帐篷，生起篝火。
我们俩人在树林里过了一晚。
我们学会了用课堂上培训获得的知识解决问题。这是我俩的一次特殊经历，我将终生难忘。

Li Ming and I took part in a wilderne survival program yesterday,and it has been one of the most unforgettable experiences since high school.
It was clear in the morning.We went to the mountain happily, wearing strong and comfortable shoes, carrying the neceities in the backpacks.We climbed a hill and on the top we saw there was a direction mark at the foot of the hill.Down the hill, following the direction, we came to a river.There were no boats.Luckily, we had learned how to swim in the training cla.But we should protect our things in the backpacks from being wet.Fortunately, we found a piece of board.We put our backpacks on the board and swam pushing the board.When getting to the other bank, we took out the compa from the backpack and knew the direction.We walked to the north for about half an hour.At last, we arrived at the campsite, where we set up the tent and made a bonfire.
The two of us spent the night in the forest.
We learned to use knowledge gained in claroom training to solve problems.It was quite an experience for both of us, which I＇ll never forget for the rest of my life. 给编辑的一封信-A Letter to Editor Dear editor,
I＇d like to tell you something about the changes of my hometown.My hometown used to be a beautiful place.Thick trees and green gra could be seen everywhere.However, in order to build houses and grow more crops, people cut down more and more trees.As time went on, the whole forest was almost destroyed.Gradually, the green hills have changed into a wasteland.As a result, sandstorms struck us now and then, from which we suffered a lot.So, I do hope that all the people should realize the terrible result of not caring about our environment.What＇s more, we should take good care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down so as to improve our living conditions.
Yours,
Li Hua 敬爱的编辑同志：
我想跟您讲讲我家乡的变化。过去我的家乡是一个荚丽的地方。茂密的树木和青草随处可见。可是，为了盖房和种更多的庄稼，人们砍了越来越多的树。随着时间流逝，整个树林几乎全被破坏了。渐渐地，青山变成了荒地。结果，沙尘暴时常袭来，给我们带来很多灾害。所以，我真的希望所有的人们都认识到不保护环境的严重后果。还有，为了改善生活条件，我们应看护好树林，种更多的树而不是砍树。
李华 Dear editor,
I wrote to tell you about my worry.In the past my hometown was a beautiful place with green hills around our village.But in recent years,more and more trees have been cut down because people wanted to build more houses and grow more crops.As time went on, the green hills have turned into a wasteland.It is hard to grow things on it.Besides, sandstorms struck us now and then, which brought us a lot of hardships.So, I do hope that all the people should be aware of the importance of protecting the environment.Thinking of the terrible result, we shouldn＇t cut more trees without planting them any more.Without the forest we wouldn＇t live a better life.
Yours

Li Ming 世界上最重要的东西是什么
The Most Important Thing in the World Directions：A）Title：The Most Important Thing in the World B）提示：有人认为，世界上最重要的东西是“钱”。许多人不同意这个看法。
请就这个问题谈谈你的意见。C）Time limit：30minutes D）Word limit：150～200words E）Your composition must be written clearly on the Composition Sheet.The Most Important Thing in the World In my opinion，the most important thing in the world is TIME.However long one may live，his life consists of a certain number of years，and a year has only12months，a month30days and one day24hours.Once you waste one hour，you can not get it back no matter how much you would pay for it. Even though you are the richest person in the world，you can not afford to waste your time，because it means that you are wasting your life.Even though you are the most powerful person in the world，one hour has60minutes for you just as for everyone else who struggles at the bottom of the society.Some people think that the most important thing in the world is money.In their opinion，if you have enough money，you will have everything you want.I would like to ask them a simple question：Can you buy time？
The only thing with which we can win more time is efficiency.If you work with high efficiency，you can do more in a certain period of time than other people. 赞成或反对中学生使用手机
