Is Thrift Still A Good Virtue? With the improvement of the living standards, many people are no longer interested in the simple life style and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty.What they pursue is the latest fashion.In their eyes, thrift is already out of style.However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue.They say that the unprecedented power of production doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited and some of them even are on the decline.Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.As to me, I prefer the latter opinion.I believe “Waste not, want not.” The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency.In fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving.Besides, there are still millions of Chinese living under poverty line.We can never afford reckle waste.Therefore, it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.
2.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short eay entitled Certificate Craze on Campus.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.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
Certificate Craze on Campus
In recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students.Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing; quite poibly, 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.First, it is the employment preure that forces college students to get more certificates.With the admiion 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 for a job, the students 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 necearily 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.
