My View on Remedial Examinations

Remedial examinations have been part of university education for many years. After careful observation, we can find that it is more complicated than what we have thought.

On the whole, I should say remedial examinations are necessary for our educational system. On the one hand, if none of them fail the examination, how can we guarantee the quality of education? On the other hand, by preparing for and taking part in remedial examinations, students can make up for the lost time. If they can learn from this lesson, it will certainly do good to their future life. To make remedial examinations do the job, however, we have to make sure of several points below. For one thing, we should make all the examinations as fair as possible. Some students cheat in the examinations to get high scores, and others beg the teacher for a satisfactory grade. All of these people should be severely punished. For another, we should not decide the number of students failing the test before the examination. Teachers should bear a standard in mind, which is comparable across the years.

The remedial examination is an important part of college education. Only by planning it wisely and conducting it reasonably can we make best use of it.

How to Eliminate Cheating on Campus

Nowadays, instead of listening attentively in class and working hard after class, a number of students adopt all kinds of dishonest methods to get high scores in examinations. It has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.

To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind, it calls for the efforts from all sides. First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behavior in the examinations, from whispering and copying, receiving answers via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely punished with no exception. Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully. Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight against dishonest behaviors throughout the life.

How can anybody expect to lead a meaningful life if he is not far from any kind of cheating

behaviors? Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.

Welfare in Modern Society

Social welfare is an essential element of an advanced society. Good systems are always abused, but that does not mean they are faulty. In my opinion, the two main reasons why welfare payments are necessary are as follows:

First of all, critics forget that there are many forms of welfare besides payments to the unemployed. Their negative opinions harm those who are not capable of earning a wage, such as single parent mothers, the disabled, and the sick.

The second reason is that crime increases when people have no means of support. The desperately poor inevitably turn to crime, which is not only dangerous but also costly.

Certain members of society believe that people should look after themselves. They point out that welfare increases dependency on others and destroys dignity. This may be true, but in the case of the unemployed, the relief payments are usually temporary. It is surely the fault of the government if there are long term unemployed.

Without welfare payments the poor are destined to become poorer. The first duty of a government is to provide a financial safety net for all disadvantaged persons, and that includes those without work.

People’s Interpretations of Hi s tech

Hi s tech in its largest sense refers to a set of investment s intensive technologies that lead in the modern science and technology as guides for tapping productivity, promoting social civilization and modernizing national defense.

It features improvement, integration, and creativity in technology and has IT, new materials and new energies as its major pillars. When applied to different walks of life, however, it takes on different shades of meaning. Hi s tech in the world of enterprisers is often interpreted as an ideal way to open up new businesses and bring in huge profits. Hi s tech in the context of IT is a general term for such landmarks as network, fiber optics, digitization and information superhighway. To politicians, hi s tech is symbolic of the winning edge a country needs to compete for its rise in the world. With scientists, hi s tech is the representative of sophistication, infiltration, independence, and diffusion. For the military circles, hi s tech means a key factor separating the winners from the losers in the battlefield.

As far as college students like us are concerned, hi s tech always signifies a summit that challenges

our endurance as well as our knowledge learned in class. Anyone who tries to attain it with one leap or fails to endure the pains during the long course of striving toward it will stand little chance to experience the thrill derived from conquering it. And moreover, hi

s tech is something relative and changeable, because today’s hi tech results from yesterday’s technology and will grow out of date as compared to tomorrow’s.

In this light, the ideal way of keeping pace with hi s tech is to build up a sound foundation in basic knowledge.

Credit Cards

Personal credit cards are becoming more common in China. Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things. Credit cards, otherwise known as “plastic money”, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the change. Consumers will be able to “buy now, pay later”, and many see this as an advantage.

But people need to be careful. There are dangers associated with credit cards. Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget. They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt. The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.

However, used wisely credit cards can improve the quality of people s lives. They can give people access to money to meet sudden unplanned expenses. Properly handled, they can let people control their expenditure and the monthly statements provide a record of where their money has gone.

Food Contamination

While 2008 witnessed the great joy of Olympic Games, for thousands of babies and their parents, their 2008 was a nightmare. Due to the tainted milk, many babies were suffering from kidney stone, and some infants even died. This case, however, is only the latest food safety problem.

As people can not live without food and drink, food contamination will result in not only direct health problems, but also other indirect consequences. Firstly, when a product is discovered to be contaminated, people will have lingering fears in a large scale. Secondly, take Sanlu Scandal for instance, when the scandal was publicized, the company only reaped its bankruptcy. In a sense, food safety problem is harmful to the national economy and can affect social stability.

In order to counter food safety problems, corporate leaders should not be blind in pursuit of short term profit through adulteration and other unlawful means. Meanwhile, the government should also perfect its supervision procedures.

On Marriage of Chinese On Campus Students

There is a new dissension putting forward these days: Should Chinese on campus students be approved to get married before they complete their courses? Some people prefer “yes”while some others prefer “no”. Certainly a large number of people just cannot decide on which side they should stand.

In fact, the government allows on campus students to get married before they complete their education. There isn t a regulation proclaimed in writing to forbid marriage of on campus students. But it must affect those triers.

In my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on campus students to get married before they finish their college study, however, it shouldn t be advocated or encouraged, because for on campus students, they play the role as learners. Their main task is to learn. If they married, their school work must be affected and they may not graduate favorably or may not be capable for future works. So, I believe: Almost all on campus students should deal with the question reasonably.

Effects of Beauty Products

With the improvement of the living conditions, many people shift their focus to their appearance. Women are in particular worried about wrinkles on their faces. They turn to beauty products, trying to delay the process of aging and stay young. Thus many kinds of skin creams appear on beauty counters.

But people differ as to the effects of beauty products. Some people believe that they benefit from them. Skin cream can effectively renew the skin, get rid of wrinkles and beat back the destruction coming with age. Take Sue as an example, after trying a famous skin cream for several months, she found her skin softer and smoother. While others claim that beauty products may have harmful effects on people s skin and their health as well if it contains too much mercury.

In my opinion, beauty products on the whole are good. But we should not neglect the bad effects of those misleading products. Customers still control the final buying decision.

My View on Opportunity

Different people have different views on opportunity. Some people think that there are few opportunities in the world，while others argue that everybody will have some kind of opportunity along his life route.

As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. For one thing, I finally believe opportunities are everywhere around us. No one will be unlucky enough to have no opportunities all the time, because “every dog has his day”. For another, since opportunities are transient, we have to make good preparations and improve ourselves. Just think of Newton, who discovered the law of gravity when many people had watched an apple falling ahead of them.

Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there are quite a few opportunities in our society. Only if we get prepared can we seize the opportunities instead of letting them slip by, just as the saying goes, “Opportunities are only for the prepared

minds.”
