Ancient poems and modern poems
Last week our class had a heated discussion about which poems are more popular between ancient poems and modern poems.
About 42% of the students think ancient poems have beautiful rhythm and rhyme and that ancient poems have further meanings, which teach us a lot more. Besides, ancient poems are precious cultural heritage left by our ancestors so we should pass them on from generation to generation.
However, the other 58% of the students hold the view that modern poems are easier to understand and can express our different feelings and ideas easily. What?s more, modern poems don?t have to follow special patterns of rhythm and rhyme so we are free to express ourselves.
In my opinion, both ancient poems and modern poems are our national cultures and we should learn from them.

Say “ No” to Plastic Bags
Since June 1st, 2008, plastic bags are no longer provided for free in the supermarkets. Different people have different opinions on this matter.
As far as I am concerned, the government is taking steps to protect our living environment. It?s true that plastic bags make people?s shopping more convenient. However, most people just throw them away after using them, and don?t know how to deal with them. What?s more, it will take a long time for plastic bags to break down. As a result, they can cause serious pollution and do great harm to our surroundings, then to people?s health.
Personally speaking, I fully agree with this policy.After all, it is good for our environment.And we could use bags made of paper or cloth instead of plastic bags when shopping. 30.话题:自然 常用词汇:

Extreme weather
According to the passage, extreme temperatures happen much more frequently than ever before in European countries.These are largely due to the heat produced in cities and the circulation of the atmosphere.
Reasons for extreme temperatures are varied.For one thing, human?s activities like burning fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide, which makes the globe warmer, causing the global temperature to go up.For another, people?s cutting down trees that can absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide for furniture also contributes to the warmth of the earth, which gives rise to extreme temperatures.
Extreme temperatures can do a lot of harm to people?s health.The heatwave or the high temperatures can cause stress, worsening of diseases and even death, especially among children and old people. Therefore, to cope with the extreme temperatures, the most effective way is a global effort to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
Individuals should use less energy, plant more trees and recycle materials because everyone?s contribution counts. 31.话题:人际关系

范例:
Don?t hesitate to say “No”
It is very difficult to say “No” to a request, especially to a request from a close friend. However , on some occasions, you have to say “No”. For example , suppose one friend of yours asks you to take exams for him, and he promises to offer you some material benefits.To such request, definitely, you should say “No”.
In real life, there are many people who do not say “No” when they should do so. There are several reasons for this practice .One important one is that they fear they would lose the friend.
When we should say “No”, don?t hesitate to say so. Otherwise you do harm to both you and the one who made the request.For example, if someone bribes you and you don?t say “No” to it, both of you may end up in prison.
So do not hesitate to say “No”, when you need to do so.
