Currently, we could hardly live a single day without seeing a celebrity spokesperson promoting a product or a social campaign on TV, net or other media. This is an intensely popular trend that we cannot fail to notice.
There is no doubt that the celebrity spokespeople could boost the sale of a product. A host of celebrity spokespersons, however, have emerged as the marketing tool of some companies, even companies producing and selling fake and inferior items. This kind of behavior has produced negative impacts on consumers and whole society, which should be severely criticized and penalized. Of course, as is known to all, everything has both bright and dark sides. Some stars’ endorsement of social activities and public campaigns raises public awareness, giving rise to changes in public behavior. In this case, they serve as positive role models of the general public. To name only one case: Pu CX, a household figure, acting as the celebrity spokesman of the China AIDS Foundation, contributes greatly to the cause of AIDS prevention and cure in China.
关于选秀节目
Over the past couple of years, a variety of talent shows have emerged on TV channels across the nation, from Super Girls to Happy Boys and so forth. This type of entertainment program is intensely popular, especially among young adults and has produced profound impacts on their studies and life.
There are a couple of reasons behind the tide. To start with, young folks need role models to learn from. So many of them are crazy for contestants participating in these programs. This gives rise to the increasing emergence of these shows because TV networks naturally need to cater to young audiences. Plus, thanks to economic and political reforms carried out by the ∵, this crop of young generation have more freedom and desire to express and showcase themselves. Therefore, a growing number of young people desire to get involved in these shows.
This is a divisive topic. On my personal level, the talent show is a superb means of relaxing and amusing and can hugely relieve our strains. As college students, however, we could not afford to indulge in them and should be aware of the utmost importance of studies.
食品安全问题On the Food Security
Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media. The problem of food security has become a hot button across society. The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health, which the ∵ could not afford to ignore, according to the online edition of the People Daily.
There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this undesirable tide. First, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we ignore moral education,
giving rise to the rising rate of the problem. More importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend.
As Confucius instructed, it is better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The ∵ should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.
社会不文明现象On Uncivilized Behaviors
We cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in our daily lives, such as spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words in public places and so forth. All these are bad manners that we should not lose sight of. As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years, China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinese citizen should feel ashamed of. Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese both at home and abroad have seriously affected China’s image, according to an editorial posted on People Daily’s official website.
As Chinese, we should not get offended when others point out our weaknesses but should focus more attention on improving ourselves. We should strive to identify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminate them. There are a host of causes, I would argue, behind this trend. To name only one: the lack of moral education. The ∵ should wage a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor to behave decently in our daily lives. As college students of the new age, we should take the leading role.
感恩On Cultivating the Sense of Gratitude
On college campuses across the nation, there is a noticeable phenomenon that we cannot afford to ignore: far too many young college students lack the sense of gratitude, one of the countless traditional virtues of this ancient land with a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years. These young adults were not and are not aware of the huge importance of expressing gratitude to those who once helped them, from teachers to parents and so forth.
Personally, I deem that the root cause of students without a graceful heart is that they receive an education not valuing the moral sphere. I strongly believe that joint efforts from folks across society are the final remedy for this social headache. As young university students of the new era, we should make our own contributions to this cause. Imagine a world without the sense of gratitude. This kind of world is doomed to failure. Simply put, we should join our hands to heighten our awareness of fostering a graceful heart. Only in this way can we build our society into a harmonious one. My fellow students, I beg you to act from now on.
大学生使用信用卡现象On Credit Card
At present, a wide vareity of credit cards issued by major banks and shopping malls are thriving in colleges and universities across the nation, with a multitude of college students making up a growing population of card holders. Indeed, one out of five students is estimated to be in possession of at least one credit card, and the figure is expected to be on the steady increse, the latest data published by Yangtze Evening Post suggests.
Like anything prior to the emergence of this small piece of plastic, the increasing popularity of credit card on campus has both bright and dark sides. On the one hand, young adults in college, free from the trouble of pocketing a considerable sum of cash, could enjoy the convenience of credit cards and purchase expensive goods by installments. On the other hand, however, the irresponsible and excessive use of the cards by these youngsters, the majority of whom are fresh out of middle school incapable of budgeting their money, can make them heavily in debt which will take them years to pay off.
On my personal level, while enjoying a host of conveniences the credit card may bring, we couldn’t afford to ignore a conspicious fact: in most cases, parents are our sole financial sources.Instead of spending without any restrict, we are supposed to put studies on the top of our agenda and move ourselves beyond heavy dependence upon our parents.

COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEND PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Physical exercise is a necessary part of college life. However, still some college students do not like to attend sports activities, they think those activities waste their time and influence their study. Indeed, it is very unwise for college students to keep distance from physical exercise because physical exercise is not harmful but good to them.
College students can benefit a lot from physical exercise. First of all, attending physical sports can help students build a strong body, and keep abounding energy. Moreover, physical exercise is an effective way to relief pressure and keep a pleasant move. Besides, by attending physical activities, students can have chances to contact and communicate with others which can help them improve their social skills. Nowadays, all colleges and universities have provided many sports facilities for
students to do physical exercises, students can chose freely according to their interests and needs.
As for me, I am keen on all kinds of ball games, especially football and
basketball. From these games, I have gained a lot, and enjoined great pleasure. To conclude, physical exercise is beneficial to every college students, and therefore do not hesitate to attend sports activities.
体育锻炼是大学生活的必要组成部分。但是，仍有一些大学生不喜欢参加体育活动，他们认为这些活动浪费自己的时间和影响他们的学习。事实上，这是非常不明智的大学生保持距离，因为从体育锻炼体育锻炼是不会对人体有害，但对他们好。
学院的学生可以受益于体育锻炼很多。首先，参加体育运动可以帮助学生建立一个强壮的身体，保持丰富的能源。此外，体育锻炼是一种有效的方法来缓解压力，保持愉快的动议。此外，通过参加体育活动，学生可以有机会接触和与他人沟通，可以帮助他们改善他们的社交技巧。如今，各高校和大学为学生提供了许多体育设施开展体育锻炼，学生可以自由选择按照自己的利益和需要。

在线游戏Online games
As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students. Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games. But as we see, some students lacking self discipline on too much indulge in these games. So that their health and academic performances are affected.
This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.
However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful. They can train their ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly. Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science. More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.
Form my point of view, online games are wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way. When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once, but if you have enough self control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.
由于现代计算机和网络产品，网络游戏已经成为深受大学生的欢迎。许多学生都喜欢这些游戏感到非常高兴和满意。但是我们看到，一些学生缺乏对过于沉迷于这些游戏自律。因此，他们的健康和学术表现受到影响。
这一现象已引起许多担心从老师和家长。然而，有些人认为，网络游戏并不总是有害的。他们可以培养他们的孩子的反应能力，迅速的事情。此外，还可以激发他们的想象力和他们的电脑科学的兴趣。更重要的是，它使大学生感到十分高兴，并释放他们的压力很大。 表我的角度来看，网络游戏是精彩的娱乐，如果你在一个聪明的方式发挥他们。当他们与你的学习干扰太多，这是给你最好马上给他们了，但如果你对他们有足够的自我控制，你一定能得到真正的快乐，并从中获益良多。
如何应对同伴的压力？How to deal with peer pressure?
College students are often obsessed by peer pressure from their classmates or schoolmates. Facing others’ hard work and good performance in academic and other aspects, many students feel great pressure.
Then, how to deal with this kind of peer pressure? The following measures can be taken.
First, you should take a careful look at your present level and set a practical object. You needn’t always compare yourselves with those on the top and just make your efforts towards your object.
Second, under peer pressure, you shouldn’t feel discouraged and pressed. Instead, you should make it your motivation for harder work.
Finally, if you find pressure is nearly beyond your control, you’d better turn to professional psychological guidance.
As a college student, I have no way to avoid peer pressure, so I try to figure out the way to do with it well. I set my own goal, including my practical level and my position among the peers. Because of my focus on my own goal, I have no time and energy to think about the pressure. So I’m little troubled by it.
To conclude, we should not escape from peer pressure, but learn to make best use of it, since it can hardly be avoided.
大学生往往被同侪痴迷者从同学或同学的压力。面对别人的辛勤工作和在学术及其他方面的良好表现，许多学生感到很大的压力。
那么，如何处理这一同侪的压力呢？以下措施可以采用。
首先，你应该把你仔细看看目前的水平，并设置一个实际对象。你不必总是比较那些在顶部和你的对象只是朝着自己的努力。
第二，同侪压力下，你不应该感到气馁，而按下。相反，你应该让你的动机更艰苦的工作。
最后，如果您发现压力几乎超出了你的控制，你最好能向专业的心理指导。
作为一名大学生，我没有办法避免同侪的压力，所以我要弄清楚的方式与它做好。设置我自己的实际水平，包括我和我的同龄人之间的地位的目标。由于我专注于我自己的目标，我没有时间和精力去思考的压力。所以，我有点不安了。

Certificate Craze On Campus
In recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students. [1]Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, [2]quite possibly, you may get the answer [3]that he or she is preparing for a certificate [2]of some kind. [4]Why does this craze appear?
[4]There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, [5]it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission 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 [6]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.
[7]From my point of view, we should be more rational [8]when it comes to certificates, [9]since certificates [2]do not necessarily prove one’s
ability. Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is [10]nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability [10]but not getting a certificate of no practical value.
近年来，为了得到一个证书已成为大学生的新热潮。只是随机，要求学生在校园里他或她正忙着做，很可能，你可以得到答案，他或她是某种形式的证书做准备。
为什么会出现这种热潮？主要有两个这种现象背后的原因。首先，它是雇佣关系的压力，迫使大学生获得更多的证书。随着高校扩招，大量毕业生要面对更多的在就业市场的激烈竞争。如何让自己更有竞争力，在手也许更多的证书。第二，文凭和证书仍然是重要的标准，很多雇主衡量一个人的能力，以增加就业资格，学生强迫自己从一个到另一个运行考试。
从我的角度来看，我们应更合理时，证书，因为证书不一定证明自己的能力被疯狂中盲目地获取证书。 什么也不是在浪费时间，但总括来说，我们应集中于提高我们的能力，但不是获取证书没有实用价值。 【亮点点评】

Students’ Pursuit for Famous Brands
Nowadays many college students like to pursue famous brands. From clothes to mobile phones, even study articles like electronic dictionaries and pens, they [1]are inclined to buy famous brands.
[2]Moreover, many students from poor families begin to [3]follow this consumption trend as well. This phenomenon has aroused wide attention. [4]The following reasons can account for college students’
preference for famous brands. [2]Above all, in many college students’ eyes, a famous brand is a symbol of sophistication and taste. They expect others to admire their high class and good taste. [2]What’s more, in modern society, famous brands to some extent are equal to fashion, [5]which has a great attraction to young college students.
