My View on Adventuring

When asked about a theme, different people will offer different opinions. Adventuring is no exception. Some people take it for granted that human beings should explore the unknown world by adventuring. However, others hold that it is unnecessary and insignificant to be engaged in any adventure in modern times.

As far as I am concerned, I’m in favor of the second view. The reasons are as follows.

Firstly, there is an element of truth that to transform the world human beings should know it first, but it doesn’t follow that people need to go adventuring. It is unnecessary for modern people to sail around the world in a small boat

single-handed1, or pass through the desert of the jungle on foot alone, etc. The reason is that there are hardly any places in the world that have never been discovered. A case in point is that Yu Chunshun, an adventurer from Shanghai, who went adventuring through many provinces in China, died in the desert in the end. Although his adventure caused a stir in society, I think it was worthless and insignificant because the wen adventuring only out of curiosity and didn’t make any valuable discovery as Columbia did. Therefore, the first view cannot bear much analysis.

In conclusion, in modern times common people need not to adventuring. They can hardly make any new discovery because the world has been explored mostly and is still being explored by scientists.

On Computers

Nowadays, computers are very popular around us. Like everything else, computer have both favorable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the advantages can be listed as follows.

First, computers can calculate. They can make work more efficient for they have a high speed of calculation. Besides, people can communicate with each other by E-mail, which costs people less money and less time. Most important of all, computers create wide communication around the world. People can communicate with each other by joining Internet. They can make friends all over the world.

But every coin has tow sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. To begin with, since computers can do a lot of work for us, such as calculation, we may rely too much on them and become lazier and lazier. To make matters worse, although it is convenient for people to communicate with each other by E-mail, the original warm relationship may become cold, for people will have fewer opportunities to talk to each other face to face. Worst of all, computer will have virus caused by electronic hackers so that a lot of important information will be lost.

Through above analysis, I believe that the positive aspects outweigh the negative aspects. Therefore, I believe, computers will have a bright future.

How to solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic

With the booming of the motor industry, there are an increasing number of vehicles on the roads. As a result, traffic jams often occur.

Many ways can contribute to solving this serious problem, but the following ones may be most effective.

First of all, roads should be broadened to lower the degree of congestion（堵车） and to speed up the flow of heavy traffic. Another way to solve the problem of heavy traffic is to open up more bus routes to reduce bicycles and automobiles. Finally, more underground passages should be developed so that people can commute by metro.

These are not the best and the only three ways we can take. But it should be noted that if the government takes some actions to alleviate（减缓）the traffic problem, all of us can enjoy more free traffic.

Therefore, it depends with ... we should choose. If we…., we should choose A; but if we ... we should turn to B.

Example:

Traveling by Train or by Plane

When we go on a business trip, we will be faced with choice between traveling by train by plane. Before making the right choice, we had better make a close comparison and contrast of them.

First of all, a train will take us to our target railway station. Also, a plane will take us to the target airport. Second, in a train we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the countryside. Likewise, in a plane we can command a good view of fields, building, mountains and even clouds below. Despite their similarities, traveling by train and by plane are also different in the following aspects. First, a train ticket is cheap. Most of us can afford it. However, a plane ticket is about twice as expensive as a train ticket. Most of us grudge paying for it. Besides, it is safer to travel by train. If the train gets into some trouble, we may survive by jumping out of it. On the contrary, if we travel by plane, we have to ask God to bless us. Finally, it takes us longer time to travel by train than by plane.

Therefore, it depends which transportation tool we should choose. If we just want to save money, we travel by train; but if we want to save time, we will turn to the plane.

Example:

Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Shanghai

Nowadays, rural laborers flood in Shanghai. Men usually make a living by decorating houses fro city-dwellers. Women usually work in the restaurant, washing bowls and plates. Some of them also work in state-run factories, undertaking the work city-dwellers are unwilling to do. There are many reasons for this social phenomenon, but in general, they come down to three major ones.

For one thing, perhaps they are short of money and want to earn some money in Shanghai to cope with their difficulties. For another, they find it easier to make a living in Shanghai than in the countryside. Perhaps the prime reason is that they admire the urban life and want to live in Shanghai permanently.

From the foregoing, the rural population is getting bigger and bigger in Shanghai and it has caused serious social problems. Therefore, the government should take effective measures to restrict the rural population in Shanghai.
