It Neceary for a College Student to Own a Mobile Phone?
China is becoming a country with the biggest population of mobile phone subscribers and an increasing number of college students are joining the existing users.Statistics show that eight out of ten college students have got one.However, is it neceary for a college student to own a mobile phone?
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong for a college student to have a cell phone.With it, students will be better connected with friends and parents.What’s more, mobile phones play an important role in graduates’ job-hunting.Therefore, instead of banning the use mobile phones, schools should take measures to guide an appropriate use of them on campus.For example, students are required to switch off their phones in clarooms and under no circumstances should they use a mobile phone during exams.In some public places, like libraries, a poster can be placed at the entrance to alert library users to switch their phones to vibration mode before they enter the library.
I believe mobile phones can bring benefits to our students as long as we can make good use of them.
Idle Young, Needy Old
This is an aged saying, but the truth in it is universal: if you do not work when you are young, you will live a miserable life when old.No one can deny it, for it is self-evident.The ancients realized this in the early time and the saying has paed on, but unfortunately, nowadays many people still turn a deaf ear to it.We can see from time to time teenagers engroed in playing Internet games all night along, who do not care if these games do harm to both their body and their soul.More often than not, the harm becomes a hazard, and killings of the teenagers’ peers are not once in the pre.Some of these kids were once excellent in their study, but do not have a good ending.There is another group of students, especially college students, who pay no attention to their majors and other knowledge, but only idle away, thinking that they have a lot of time in hand and the purpose to go to college is just to get a diploma without much effort.Such people must suffer hardship in the near future, let alone when they are old.
We all should keep in mind “Idle young, needy old”, and exert our efforts to make our due contribution to society.

A Letter to the Local Government
Dear mayor,
I’m writing to tell you a serious phenomenon near my campus: there are a big number of Internet cafes near the campus, most of open to teenagers.
In those cafes, most school kids play Internet games or chat on QQ or MSN, or even visit some porn websites.Some underage Internet addicts turn to the visual world for fun and gradually are unwilling to face reality, which has a bad effect on their studies and health.
As I know, the minors are not allowed in Internet cafes.In order to keep the under-18 crowd away from Internet cafes, identity cards are required to get in.However, many Internet cafes are not strict with the policy because of the profit motive.So many teenagers are still sneaking in, with the majority of the young people developing addiction there, In my opinion, there should be better supervision of Internet cafes.Those that open to teenagers should be severely punished—even shut down.
Thank you for taking time from your tight schedule to read my words.I sincerely hope this letter may draw you attention to the seriousne of the problem.
Earnestly Yours,
Jane
On College Students’ Renting Houses off Campus
According to a recent survey, 18.7 percent of college students now live in their rented “homes” off campus instead of the aigned dormitories on campus.They say, in their own small kingdom, they are enjoying more freedom they deserve as grown-ups.It is estimated that another 4.8percent undergraduates are thinking of joining them.
It is undeniable that many dormitories are far from being satisfactory—small, shabby, noisy, stuffy in summer and freezing in winter.But the merits of living on campus outweight its demerits: by sharing a room with others, one learn how to understand, compromise with and help each other as well as how to live a regular life.Through more communication, one is better informed and thus enjoys more opportunities.Besides, a lot of educational facilities are near at hand and the accommodation fee is much lower than the monthly rent.Sure, if you rent a well-furnished room, you may live more comfortably and enjoy more freedom, but you are often lonely and insecure for lack of companions, and sometimes you might abuse your freedom.
So, move back to the dormitory.Maybe the conditions are not desirable, but it is real college life, and it is rewarding!
A Letter to A Laid-off Acquaintance
My dear aunt,
I’m greatly surprised and sad to hear that you’re laid off.But please don’t worry too much.AII roads lead to Rome.I believe we will find a way out.
I remember when I was a child, I had so many colorful and comfortable sweaters that I became my friends’ envy.Those were all your masterpieces.A survey I made recently in the city where I’m living now shows that unique hand-knitted things are much more welcome thanready-made clothes.Would you think about taking up knitting as your second career? I know all things are difficult before they are easy.We will meet some unexpected difficulties in the beginning.But I firmly believe that nothing is impoible to a willing heart.Maybe your products will turn out to be a name brand.
My dear aunt, please do think about it.I’ll lend you a hand when you need my help.Take care and cheer up!
Your dearest niece
