Part-time Job or Not

There’s no doubt that more and more students in universities take part-time jobs. As a result, it has became a heating topic among college students that“Do you have part-time jobs during the weekends?” “What part-time jobs do you do?”

While some people are fond of part-time jobs and think it brings a lot of benefits, others hold the opinion that it is a waste of time.

From my point of view, its benefits are evident in a host of ways. The most important, it offers us a variety of opportunities to contact with different people and deal with different things. Therefore our ability in many aspects will be greatly improved. Moreover, during the process of part-time jobs, we learn of how to apply the knowledge we learn in class into practice. In this way, we can not only do the job well and gain a feeling of achievement but also learn better in class. Plus, our life will be greatly fulfilled and become more wonderful with such practice. Last, we can be economically independent and reduce the burden of our family, which means a lot especially for students from poor families.

However, if one fails to pay attention to the balance between their jobs and study, it is liable for them to fall behind others in study. After all, study comes first.

But taking all the advantages and disadvantages into consideration, we can easily draw the conclusion that part-time jobs bring us more benefits than harms. As long as we deal with the time correctly between work and study, we can derive more than what we expect from it.

Every Field Counts

Maybe everyone in our school who loves sports or often goes to the sports center to do sports is puzzled by one question: we cannot play there even if there are lots of vacant fields if we don’t buy a ticket.

You know. I’m a sports lover, especially ping-pong and badminton. So I always go to play them with friends. Every time we must buy the ticket ahead of time. When it comes to holidays such as National Day, there would be less people playing in it since many students have gone home or gone out to have other activities such as hiking, barbecue, KTV or others. At this time, there will be many empty fields in the sports center. According to the sense, we should be admitted to play there without buying a ticket. Because the purpose of the stadium is to encourage students to take part in sports and keep healthy. Though our school gives 100 yuan as sports funds to each student per term, we will use it up so quickly and it’s far more from our request. Then why prevent us sports lovers from exercising even if there exist empty fields? Doesn’t it go against its aims?

To undo this problem, I suggest that our school should change some strategies. First, we can distribute the sports funds according to how often a student take part in sports and how much they like to do sports. Because as I know, some students seldom do sports and thus their funds are wasting. Second, permit sports lovers to play in the stadium free of charge while there are free fields. Third, as student are not willing to use their own money to buy tickets after they use up their sports funds, so we can adopt a 1-5 or 1-10 rates to charge. Only in this way can we make good use of the stadium and make our campus a vigorous and harmonious one.

大学英语3作文范文

Last night at about 11 o’clock, my brother and I came home from a movie. As I was opening the door to our apartment, I heard cries of babies from next door. A couple with three kids lived there. The couple didn’t seem to have any job and they spent most of their time at home. The kids ranged in age from one year to five years old. They were one girl and two boys and they were pretty. I knocked at their door but nobody answered. The cries went even louder. I figured there was something wrong. My brother reminded me of the Crimestoppers number and I called. Within ten minutes, the police came. There were three of them. They knocked at the door but still no one came to it. They called the Superintendent and he opened the door with the master key. Inside we could see three kids crying over the couple who were lying on the floor, unconscious. There were about a dozen used syringes beside them. The room smelled terrible. Ambulances came after fifteen minutes, taking the couple to the hospital. The police took the kids under care immediately. It has been said that they will be staying at the Interval House for women and children for a while.

Should Learners Aim to Speak English with

a Native Speaker Pronunciation?

In my opinion, there is no point in aiming to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation. For most people, it is a waste of time. First, language is a tool for communication among human beings. If people we meet understand what we are saying, that is all that is necessary. We do not need to imitate native speaker’s pronunciation. In any case, there are many types of accents, so which one should we choose to imitate?

Second, the most important thing is how well we organize what we want to express. Our ideas should be clear and easy to understand. To do so, we should be able to use right words and correct grammar.

Third, given the fact that we live in China, it seems a little bit pointless for us to try desperately hard to get rid of our national accent in order to speak BBC English.

Finally, each of us has our own style when we speak. If we can give free rein to personal style, the English-speaking world will become more colorful and more interesting.

In a word, I prefer to speak with my characteristic and recognizable pronunciation, so long as listeners can understand me.

Sample 2

Yes, I think it is important to aim for native-speaker pronunciation. First of all, I think perfection is always a good goal in any aspect of language-learning. We aim for perfect grammar, so why not perfect pronunciation?

Second, the purpose of learning a language is to communicate with native speakers or people from other parts of the world. The better my pronunciation is, the more easily they will be able to understand me. And I want people to understand me without any difficulty.

Third, English is now an international language and I would like to be part of that community. If my pronunciation is like a native-speaker’s, I will blend into the community more naturally. I’ll feel pleased if I am taken for a native-speaker. Even if I can’t speak so well, I don’t like to spoil the language by terrible pronunciation.

So learners should aim to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation.

Animals Should Be Trained

There are a wide variety of animals in the world. And many of them are highly intelligent. So if we train some animals to work for human beings, we can save a lot of money and manpower.

First, some kinds of animals can be trained based on their capacity to do certain types of jobs better than humans. For example, since dogs have a superior ability to track down odors, we can train them to find illegal drugs, earthquake victims, or even ancient tombs.

Second, some animals can even lend us their hands. The monkey is a good example. Monkeys can be trained to learn to open doors, fetch tools, bring books, etc. So they can help those who cannot move about freely because of some physical problems. Monkeys make the lives of these people happier and more comfortable.

Finally, in some cases, using animals not only saves money but also trouble. Using dolphins as underwater guards can be better and cheaper than any man-made tracking devices.

In a word, animal should be trained to help humans. If we train animals in the proper way, both humans and animals can get along very well.

Give Animals Their Freedom

Humans and animals are both creatures of nature, so we are equals. We have no right to take advantage of them. However, many animals are now being trained to work for us. Monkeys are trained as servants, dogs as hunters and sniffers, and dolphins as soldiers.

Beasts should be allowed to run freely over great distances and birds, fly freely in the blue sky. When they are in nature, they are active and able to live a normal life. But when they are kept in captivity, they are bored and frustrated.

If we have the right to choose our fate, so do animals. So when we force them to serve us, they have no freedom and are like slaves. What’s more, a lot of animals lose their lives when they help humans. But most of humans don’t care about their lives at all. As we know, life belongs to us only once and therefore is priceless, and it is also true with animals. But we show no mercy to animals when they have done so much for us. We are cold-blooded creatures and we should criticize ourselves. In brief, we should treat animals in the same way we treat other people. Give animals their freedom.

Traveling is Wonderful

In school we always study hard and rarely have time for play and relaxation. During our vacation, we can do what we like. Some students go swimming, watch TV, go to the cinema, etc. But all I want to do is to travel.

Traveling is interesting. You can see a lot of fascinating things and you can learn about history. Three years ago, I went to Beijing. When I was in the Summer Palace, I walked through the famous Long Corridor, admiring the beautiful pictures drawn on it. In the Imperial Palace, I saw a lot of rare treasures I had never seen before, I went to the Great Wall as well as the Ming Tombs. After visiting these famous Places, I can’t help feeling proud of my great motherland.

I think it is important to travel to a different country, if possible, so that you can learn about different cultures and customs. It can widen your knowledge of the world. In addition to learning new things, you can also discover the beauty of nature by yourself. When you are on the top of a mountain, you can breathe fresh air, you can see green scenery below and you can hear the sounds of nature. It is a very wonderful feeling.

Now I’d like to invite you to go on a trip with me. Can you refuse?

Which Has Had More Influence on You,

Heredity or Environment?

I both benefit and suffer much from heredity. A short stout figure, an introverted personality, and unimaginative but rational mind: all of these traits come from the genes passed on to me from my parents. But family, schools and society work together to shape what I am today.

My parents are both sport lovers, which makes me fond of physical exercises and turns my frame into a strong body. My honest parents punish me severely whenever I lie or make empty promises, thus I’ve learned the importance of personal integrity. At school I’ve learned to help others, to care for others and also to improve my reasoning and understanding skills. Learning about various positive and

negative examples of behavior from the media and other sources of information, I have set my own moral standards regarding what to do and what not to do, what to like and what to hate.

Environment can change a person completely no matter where he was born and what he genetically inherited from his parents. I always believe that a person can succeed in doing anything he feels interested in. Your environment provides all sorts of opportunities and the things necessary for your personal pursuit and achievement.

4. The fact that something is cheap doesn’t necessarily mean it’s of low quality.

5. Without anyone to turn to for help, making an appropriate choice can be difficult.

6. His sadness at the death of his wife found expression in his music.

5. Terrorists resort to violence to achieve their political aims.
