a good time, too Finally, losing is part of a game, too Never can you always win when playing games For example, When losing a game, you try harder to figure out ways to win next time, looking for them is enjoyable too Besides that, we learn to discipline ourselves because everyone has to obey the rules in the games For instance, playing basketball is fun only when everyone follows the rules; otherwise, you will get hurt or something even worse, which is definitely not the purpose that you play games In

summary, the statement that playing a game is fun only when you win is not true We can make friends even though we lost the game Moreover, we can relax ourselves when playing a game, no matter you win or lost it Finally, it is fun to learn that you cannot always win, so you have fun to win the game while you lost it last time

Essay 705 Topic 137 Should a high school allow students to study what they want?

When somebody would ask me if I agree with the statement that high schools should allow students to study the courses that they want to, I would definitely say yes There are few reasons why I believe that choosing a subject is very important for high school

students

In my point of view, ability to study the course, which a student likes more than others gives him/her a possibility to fathom a subject better; moreover, it allows to start

preparing for a collage or a university I think, it is a sagacious idea, because students can try many different courses and by the time they will enter a university or a college, they will probably know what subject to choose as his or her major Plus, the possibility to learn the subject a person likes more will give him or her satisfaction Nobody would probably disagree that we usually are better in those subjects, in which we are interested Not all of teenagers are keen on studying, but if schools will allow them to learn the courses they are fond of, they will be encouraged to study

I would say that, studying a particular subject would benefit students in many ways Possibility to decide about courses allows developing such an important to all the student ability as concentration I do not doubt that people would concentrate on topic, subject or course they like more than on those they are forced to study and dislike Also, it will make students happier and willing to study, which is very essential especially for young people

I believe, that the ability to decide which courses to study should be given to high school students because it would help them to prepare for a university or a college and their future career better as well as give them satisfaction from learning

High school plays a very important role in the whole education system It offers students

an integrate system that connects elementary and academic education Since the

appearance of high school, students have been always appointed which courses to study But recently, some people suggest that students should have their own rights to decide

Trang 2

what courses they should choose But I think it is better for students to follow the high school arrangement, rather than study the courses by their free will

One reason can be obviously seen The main purpose of high schools` education is to prepare a student for entering into a college So we should make students suitable for academic study That is, to give them a strong background in basic knowledge This is a hinge aspect, which decides whether the student can do well with his academic study and achieve his career goal in the future Course arrangements given by a high school are based on the experience of long time practice To ensure the accomplishment of the purpose of high school education, high school arrangement is certainly better than letting students who do not have any experience to choose their students` courses freely

Another reason is that a majority of high school students do not have a mature goal of their future careers So they have not the adequate ability to make a scientific choice of what to study For example: a boy who interests geography now may change to biology

in a short time If we let him choose courses freely, maybe one day he will find that actually he can do nothing because of lacking of basic knowledge Certainly we do not want to see this happening!

I do not deny that giving high school students freedom to choose their courses has its own merits Students may have more motivations in study what they interest But for their better future study and career life, we should let high school to arrange their study

courses

There are lots of debates among parents, educators and students on the issue of whether

or not to allow students to study the courses that students want to study It seems to be reasonable to many people that allowing students to choose the course they want can inspire their learning interest and find their talents on certain subjects and pursue further development But if we take a deeper consideration, it is not difficult to make the

judgment that to ensure the students have a comprehensive knowledge domain is the main objective of high school education, therefore I disagree with the idea of allowing students to study any courses that they want to study

As we all know, the main purpose of school education is to provide a systematic

education to all students In order to let students be educated in all aspects, the

curriculums have to be researched and predefined by professional education institute If

we allow students to select course, we cannot guarantee all necessary courses to be

covered in the regular class time Moreover, both parents and educators believe that high school education shall provide each student a fundamental knowledge base which is essential to their future development in the society It is the school`s responsibility to enforce the rule and make sure that all the necessary knowledge is to be taught

On the other hand, we may consider introducing some optional courses to the high school

Trang 3

curriculums so the students can choose some of the courses within the limitation of a big subject For example, for an art class, the school can offer music and painting courses and each student can choose either one of them according to his or her personal interest But this is not to say that the students should have the freedom to choose any course

In conclusion, high school education is a standardized process in which major courses shall be predefined and we need to make sure students are educated in all necessary fields and build a foundation for the development after high school

Nowadays many high schools in China allow students to study the courses that students want to study I highly appreciate it since it can help students find out what they are really interested in In addition, that is the correct attitude to study

When students go into high schools they often do not know what their careers are in the future So if you force him to select a single major to study in a field he does not like, that might cause his failure in the long run But if you give hime the freedom to choose what

he is pleased to study, he might find his true interest that will lead him to success A friend of mine, who once worked hard in physics, happened to study a business course in which he found the true inspiration Just because of the chance he selected the business as his major in college and now he is a billionaire

We should also know that all kinds of sciences are relevant Some theories are common

in all the fields of sciences You can find out the beauty of art in math, the honesty of humanities in psychology, the polish of literature in physics, and so on If you know fractal, a new branch of science, you should hear about its creator who is not only a physicist, but also a mathematician The reason he could create this new subject is that he studied what he wanted to study

As we can see, from studying what they like, a good way to enter the door of science, students can finally achieve their ends So, could you reject students selecting what they enjoy to study?

There is much debate over the issue whether high schools should allow students to

choose the courses that they want to study Different people hold different point of view due to their respective angles Although many people claim that giving students right to take the courses they want to study will bring many benefit to students, I believe that students should first of all take basic and mandatory courses that schools design for them There are many reasons why I have such a view, but here I want to show several most important reasons In the first place, students in high school often do not know exactly what courses they really need Mandatory basic courses will help them know what their interests really are For example, when I was studying in high school, I was very

Trang 4

interesting in astronomy, and absolutely not interesting in mathematics I think that learning astronomy will not need any help of mathematics But later, when I read more literature about astronomy, I find that it will be impossible to study astronomy without the basic knowledge of mathematics

In the second place, although preparation for college is not the only goal of education in high school, student should have some basic knowledge of science which will be helpful for them to get more professional training easily It is true that many students will not continue their education at universities, but the basic knowledge and skills they learned from high schools will definitely help them to obtain professional skills and techniques Admittedly, give students free choice to take a few elective courses will also have some benefits For many students, to study want they want to know will help them to study mandatory courses more effectively

In conclusion, from what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that high schools should not allow students to take courses all by the will of students

Essay 710 Topic 138 Member vs leader

Which kind of role do you like to play in a group? Some people would like to be a

ordinary member, while some others prefer being the leader of a group For me, I want to challenge myself as the leader of a group There are at least two reasons for my choice

Firstly, being a leader of group, could have more opportunities to improve all sorts of abilities and skills by dealing with various kinds of issues Just take my experience as an example, I am responsible for the marketing and business development in my company and there are four subsidiary staff in my department Since I started to work as a leader of this group, I have developed my ability in leadership, decision-making, communication skills, and teamwork and negotiation skills etc., which have greatly benefited me

Secondly, being a leader especially being a qualified leader in a group, you can get more chances of personal advancement and gain more satisfaction from your job In the

leader`s position, you have to meet and deal with various challenging tasks, by doing it with your staff, you can demonstrate your leadership and succeed in your company In addition, you will enjoy the happiness and fulfillment that the job has given to you All in all, for me, being a leader in a group can make my life more splendid and

wonderful I will get different experiences from it

Many people strive to be a leader of a group, while others think that it`s better to be an ordinary member of a group There are advantages and disadvantages in both points of view, but in my opinion it`s better to be a leader Being a leader is a challenging and

Trang 5

responsible task that has many pluses such as better money and usually better work First of all, if you are a leader you have challenging and interesting duties It`s always better to manage people than do actual work yourself For example, if you work in a construction industry, being an ordinal worker is worst job I can think of But if you manage a team it is much better, because you will have clean clothes and cleaner work duties But there is one drawback to be a leader - if anything goes wrong, you will be for blame In many cases, for example in a transportation company in Russia, a manager is legally responsible for all accidents that involve broken cars

What`s more, if you are a leader and manage people you are almost certainly will have much better salary Recent survey in St Petersburg Times showed that managing jobs pay 120% to 200% better than non- managing jobs If you have leadership qualities you will probably have much better career, but often you will have to work long hours to compensate for that

Also if you are a leader you will have much better standing in society You parents will

be proud of you, you neighbors will want to befriend you You will have power to do things and you will have freedom On the contrary, if you stay a blue-collar worker your parents will not be proud of you and you will live in a poor district

In conclusion I want to say that being a leader is not for everyone Many people do not like responsibility, while others do not like to order or influence people For those people well-paid non-managing job is a best way to live But, all in all, most people should try to

be a leader of a group It will give enormous experience even if you are a leader of two-person group And a leadership position pays much better return than an ordinal one

The issue of whether being a member of a group is better than being the leader of a group arouses much controversy among people with different perspectives and backgrounds Some people believe the statement is legitimate, because being a member has fewer responsibilities for the flaw On the other hand, some people claim being a leader can maximize the person`s ability As far as I am concerned, the issue should be considered

in different situations

In the first place, considering individual`s characters, I believe someone is not suitable for some leader positions such as a chairman For example, a technical worker would be promoted as a master of manufacture department according to his good performance The fact that he is a good worker does not mean he would be also a good leader If he lacks the skill of communication, negotiation, and coherence which are known as the elemental and optimal characters for leadership, the failure of administration is easy to predict To some people who are not suitable for leader, the statement that it is better to be a member than a leader is right

Trang 6

In addition, leaders have more rights to reach the destination while they have more

responsibilities for the failure leader who is elected by the members advocates the group

to win, to gain and to reach Some people is satisfied with the success as a leader of team Some people cannot suffer the stress as a master of a team As a result, to different people the issue has different conclusions In the second place, both negative and positive effects among persons in society call for a balance in which there are both leaders and members

we need outstanding leaders as well as excellent members in our teams In modern

society, can you imagine the community where only leaders exit without the members? In some extents, to be a member is equal important to be a leader

In sum, considering the aforementioned reasons, I believe that in respective situations there are respective conclusions according to respective people Simply to answer this question is easy to fall into extremeness and vulnerability

People all act in some roles in the group he or she belongs to, the role of each person in his or her group differs a lot from leaders to just plain members Which role is more important? I think it is a question which is really hard to answer, but in my opinion, I prefer to be the leader of the group I belongs to, obviously, that will make me more responsible for my members, more active in group action and finally, bring me more benefits than group members

Every group, no matter what kind of this group is going to be, a certain, clear goal is a must for all the members, so the leader of the group must have strong personality in every action for the whole body of the group to obtain its final goal If you are a leader of the group, you must decide by yourself in complex situations or determinate to raise the morale of the group when you are encountering difficulties Thought all those decision made and the action of courage the other people in your group, you can build your

personality stronger Determination and self-confidence established through being a leader of a group may make you success even when you are just purchasing your own personal goal or just acting as a plain member of certain group

Ordinary members may not be so involved in what the whole group is doing as he or she

is always in a passive manner of action, he or she may just does what the leader told them

to do to complement the group task However as a leader of the group, you should be active in very thing because it is only you who can urge the whole team to struggle for what your group needs For instant, even when you are just discussing about some picnic plan, you, the leader, must tell them about your plan first to make the environment warm

up for others to actively take part in the discussion

To be a leader of a group will take more responsibilities and energy in the group actions than other member of the group, but you really get feedbacks in building your personal

Trang 7

characters as long as you lead the group to gain your goal successfully from time to time

In my opinion the above statement referring to being better off as just a member of a group rather than a leader of a group might be true only sometimes

In this essay I will present both sides and both pros and cons for the situational duality of the above statement

I would like to look closely at all the fringe benefits and disadvantages of being a leader first, then I will continue describing pros and cons of being a member of a group I will conclude with a proposal applicable to both statuses: that of a leader and that of a

member

As a leader one gets more respect, is challenged to the higher degree, gets more

opportunities to find an exciting career and is more likely to be promoted more often Furthermore, without leaders our communities would not develop and our country would stay behind Hence, the feelings of accomplishment, would be more intense for a leader than for a follower Moreover, if we examine the emotional content of a simple

comparison of a ollower?versus eader? the choice is obvious: it is a eader?that scores higher then a ollower? At least in North America In some other cultures this might not be the case, however; this is not the topic of this dissertation

Furthermore, being a leader also brings more responsibilities and aside of rewards, comes with a considerable amount of grief Collective grief, to be exact What it means, is that

as a leader one has to carry responsibility for others and might get bogged down with it Loosing sleep, being a target of hatred, jealousy and acquiring unexplainable health problems due to being over stressed are just a few of many existing examples of darker sides of applied leadership Being blamed is another one

Being a ollower? on the other hand, seems to be a safer choice One knows what to expect and how to deal with what is expected of him/her Should there be any problems, one just goes straight to the leader to ask for directions What could be simpler? Lots of rewards, little responsibility Moreover, the feelings of belonging to the big group of other ollowers?are positive and bring good, healthy results One is upset together with others and gets to celebrate together as well Being lonely is not an option, at least not in the workplace Getting support is easy as well Complaining about eaders?and any other problem also gets to be a cathartic, collective task It is healthy to be able to speak one`s mind, to complain and not fear any repercussions It is healthy to be part of a bigger group

However; intertwined with all these safe feelings are other, not so rosy issues Lack of recognition, limited opportunities to progress and get promoted are just a few of many cons describing being a member of a group Well, since there is always hope, one can

Trang 8

always try to be a leader

The societal rewards are higher for leaders then followers To be a leader in North

American society comes with more positivist and collective expectations, and, ultimately, gets to be more rewarding

In conclusion I would like to offer a dual-benefit proposal: to change as a chameleon throughout life and be sometimes a leader and sometimes a member of a group That way our society will get the required push from willing leaders and a solid base from its regular members Under these circumstances all individuals would be healthier and feel fulfillment more often This would carry a necessity, though, to reward both described above statuses and produce more balanced students/trainees Furthermore, everybody will

be happy Will you?

Essay 715 Topic 139 What is the most important room in a house?

What is the most important room in a house, the kitchen, the living room, or the

bedroom? Different people have different opinions From my point of view, I think that the living room is the important room in a house There are numerous reasons why the living room is more important than the other rooms, and I would explain a few ones

First, in my recollection, the living room reminds me of a lot of rosy memory In the past, our living room was always a center of congregating All family members sit together here Sometimes, we watched TV Other times, we played chess Our living room was always full of happiness and pleasure Now I have my own family, I hope that my living room also becomes the source of our family pleasure

In addition, the living room also a place for parties and guests When our family friends came to visit, we always entertained them in our living room Sometimes, we even buy some ornaments such as flowers to decorate our living room The purpose of all of these

is to show our sincere welcome to our guests We always made our living room spotless

If we take our friends to a messy living room, perhaps our friends will not visit us again Therefore, a living room always plays a very important role in our social actives

In a word, a living room always plays an important role in both our family life and our social activities Therefore, I think a living room is the most important room in our house

My family lives in an apartment Compared with a US family house, an apartment is much smaller It doesn`t have many rooms Sometimes there can be no study, or exercise room But one room can never be missed in every family: living room and that is the very room I consider the most important

Trang 9

In my opinion, living room plays the most important role in family life! As for my

family, all family members will get together once a week We usually sit down talking about what happened to ourselves during the last week, or things that we are most

concerned Recalling every New Year`s Eve we spent together, making traditional

Chinese food dumpling while watching New Year celebrating party on TV, I feel that we family members get closer and become more cohesive, and the living room is full of warmness

A more personal reason why I think it is the most important is that, it is a good place to relax after intensive study I prefer sitting on the sofa, watching some TV programs or reading newspapers What is more comfortable, I can turn on the music, close my eyes and enjoy it! Staying in the living room makes me feel relaxed

In China, living room is usually the biggest room in one family Because it is not only a place for family get-together, but also for guests and friends! When guests drop in at my home, we could sit in the living room talking and drinking tea together On my birthday, I wil invite some friends home and have a small party! We would have a wonderful time together, leaving much laughter in the living room

In a word, the status of the living room in one family is replaceable, so to speak, the most important room At the meanwhile, we cannot neglect the importance of other rooms After all it is all the rooms that makes up of an entire warm family!

Different people have different views about which room is more important than any other room in a house To my mind, the bedroom is the most important room in a house My reasons are listed below

In the first place, I reckon that the bedroom is vital for me because it is the place where I study and have fun I own a very cozy and comfortable bedroom In the southeast corner lies a huge book self which stores my favorite books and CDs Actually I am a

bookworm and am crazy for rock music, so I possess plenty of them Beyond the corner

of the bookshelf is there a table for me to study on Besides, there is a computer at the desktop with which I can connect with the world It is amazing to enjoy the convention of the Internet in my bedroom

In the second place, I suspect that the bedroom is substantial as it is the shelter of my heart and soul As an individual in the modern world, obviously has far more pressures from a variety of channels of communication than those in the past, even a high middle school student like me included When I do not receive a satisfied score in an

examination, or when I feel unhappy after conflicting with others, I will stay in my

bedroom to confide my trouble to my pet toy-a gorgeous doll called Tracy, even I might cry to her Then I must not feel that gloomy and turn better So can you see it is in fact

Trang 10

my private paradise in some way As a result, I can adjust myself into full play when I communicate with others

What`s more, the bedroom is so crucial for me since it is the place where I have my dreams Dreams are really mysterious to people, and we never know if they can foresee the things go well or bad However, people really enjoy having a dream during their sleep Of course I am not an exception Thereby I love the room where I have wonderful dreams

In a word, I truly believe my bedroom is indispensable for me For the simple reason that

I spend most of my time with it It accompanies me day by day whenever I am happy or sad, awake or sleepy, studying or amusing

Essay 718 Topic 140 Items made by hand vs by machine

With the advent of rapid industrialization we cannot imagine a world without machine made articles The hand-made articles since then have also decreased in number to a marked extent However even today we still have avail to at least a few hand-made

articles

It is a fact that machine made articles have a much finer finish and they at times also come at a lower cost Also they come from factories of companies where they give a lot

of stress on quality assurance and reliability There are some articles where at least

machine made articles would me my automatic choice say for instance garments Here I would prefer to go with branded articles than hand made ones

Moreover in case similar kind and quality of articles are available in the market in both machine-made and hand-made forms, it is easy to observe that the machine-made one usually comes at much lower cost This is because in majority of such cases the machine

is bound to possess more productivity than a human hand and as a result they will come

in affordable prices thereby taking care of my financial aspect also

Also any good purchased from a reputed firm is going to offer some sort of warranty with certitude This will ensure more safety to the customer He can safely use it to any degree

at least within the period of warranty

Sometimes we overlook certain flaws with the goods purchased while buying them hastily This often happens while purchasing clothes But if we buy reputed branded clothes from reputed outlets they are invariably going to replace it This has personally happened with me more than once

However there might be instances where I would prefer to go with hand made articles For example suppose I need to buy a wall mat In this case machine made ones are going

to be available in large numbers But since in this case the article of interest will be quite affordable even if it is hand made I would prefer the handmade not before checking that it
