　　Effects of Financial Crisis on College Students

　　Since the financial crisis swept the world, the global economy has sunk into a severe recession. It's hard to get through a day without hearing or reading news about the devastating effects of the crisis: A world of companies go bankrupt, millions of employees are laid off, high-return investment bubbles burst, and huge sums of loans can never be retrieved. Its impact on our daily life can be felt in all walks of life.

　　College students inevitably fall victim to this pervasive slump as well. On top of that, internships and job vacancies are reduced to the minimum as companies keep shrinking. New graduates find themselves hard to get a job, not to speak of a satisfactory one. What comes next? Poor students will be hard-pressed if they find student loans unavailable any more. As a result, some even cannot afford to continue their studies. Lastly, more students are probably out there anxiously looking for part-time jobs now that they have to help cover their expenses in this gloomy economy. Their innocence and eagerness might be taken advantage of by some malicious businesspeople, or even criminal gang.

　　In response to these threats, we students must act promptly and wisely. Since we definitely will be facing a competitive job market, it's crucial that we submit high quality resumes. Therefore, we must commit more to our professional studies. Even do better, master more relevant job skills as a double security. Furthermore, apply for scholarships and grants, as these are still available and we don't have to pay them back. As for the safety issues, trust our instinct - there's no free lunch in this world. Anything that promises quick returns without much work is a sure trap. Stay alert and protect ourselves.

　　On the one hand, if we take two people at randomfrom the crowd, it is very likely that their degrees ofintelligence will be completely different. However, ifwe take two identical twins, chances are that they will be as intelligent as each other.Therefore, a conclusion can be drawn that intelligence is to some extent something we areborn with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to bein intelligence.

　　On the other hand, though, if we put two identical twins in different environments, forexample, we might send one to university and the other to a factory where the work is boring,we would find differences in their intelligence several years later, which indicates thatenvironment does play a crucial role in our intelligence.

　　Just as every coin has two sides, our intelligence is partly born and partly developed. The sureway to develop our intelligence is intelligent parents as well as a good environment.

　　Brain Drain in China

　　1) 中國人才流失的現狀;

　　2) 對人才流失的看法;

　　3) 如何解決人才流失。

　　參考范文

　　Composition for reference Nowadays, one of the most serious problems China is faced with is brain drain. While shortages of talent trouble many universities and state-owned enterprises, millions of talented people either emigrate to developed countries or work for foreign companies. At the same time, a big crowd of well-educated people who are determined to follow their footsteps take TOEFL or GRE as their passport to the West. However, people see this phenomenon in different perspectives. Some hold the opinion that China suffers a lot from brain drain. They argue, on the one hand, that brain drain considerably weakens our international competitiveness. On the other hand, they believe that the talent should serve their native country first. In contrast, others highlight the advantages of international exchange and cooperation. They claim that Chinese youths should go abroad to study and gain more experience. What's more, the long-term benefits will outweigh losses we suffer now. Brain drain poses a challenge. China should go all out to attract talented people in order to better compete in the world. For one thing, decent living and working conditions should be offered to specialists. For another, we have to better develop our economy, which is a sure bait for all kinds of talent.

　　參考范文：

　　Private cars have become an important aspect ofpeople's life in many parts of our country, especiallyin large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai andGuangzhou. While they bring much convenience topeople, they are also widely criticized. There aresome arguments for owning private cars. In the firstplace, cars allow people to move around freely, whichgreatly improves our living standard. We can easily drive cars for sightseeing on weekends. Inthe second place, cars are a comfortable way to travel, especially in bad weather. Last but notleast, the car industry can boost economy by creating many job opportunities in production ofsteel, rubber, glass and so on. However, there are also many good arguments against cars.First of all, they pollute the environment by emitting harmful gases and giving out loud noises.In addition, cars cause a large number of traffic accidents, which bring great misery to thevictims' families. As far as I am concerned, we should limit the number of private cars byproviding better mass transportation and better service for the people. Everyone shouldsacrifice his or her own interest for the common good of the society.

　　3. 我的看法。

　　參考范文：

　　There has been a heated discussion about whether to keep the College English Test Band 4(6) in the universities. Some people argue that the test has become an obstacle to the teaching of English on campuses, while others maintain that the advantages of the test outweigh its disadvantages. As far as the first group of people are concerned, they give the following arguments. For one thing, many students spend most of their time preparing for the test, therefore their focus is not on learning English better but on getting a high mark. For another, many teachers don't concentrate on how to improve the students' abilities. They only care how many of their students can pass the test. However, there are many people who believe the test should stay. To begin with, the test is the most effective way to measure how well the students have learned English. What's more, we can come up with some ways to lessen the negative effect. As far as I am concerned, each side is right in a certain way. We have to keep the test so students will have better motivation to learn English. However, we can't attach too much importance to the scores of the test.

Whenthey need any information in their studies or work,they can turn to their computers for help. For thisreason, they do not need to go to a library forborrowing or returning one or two books.

　　While others, including most old people as well as scholars, value libraries. They lovelibraries because they can enjoy peace and quietness in an isolated spiritual world. And theyalso have access to rare academic works needed for their studies in the libraries.

　　In my view, conventional libraries are still available though there is still much room forimproving. At the Age of Information, as long as knowledge is respected and cherished,libraries won’t extinct from our lives. On the other hand, libraries should not refuse the latestinformation technology, which will enable them to regain those young readers.

　　Shopping through Media

　　With the development of science and technology, it is much more common for people to buy goods through different kinds of media than before. People can buy things such as computers and necklaces through TV, radio, the Internet, etc.

　　Shopping through media is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumers, it can save time for people who don't have much spare time. For retailers, it can cut costs for those without much circulating funds. However, there are still some defects in shopping through media. First, compared with face-to-face deal, it seems less reliable and trustworthy. Second, people will lose the fun of bargaining.

　　In my view, although shopping via media brings great convenience to us, we still should be brings great convenience to us, we still should be careful when we "go shopping" through media. We should check the information released by the media. Only in this way can we fully enjoy the convenience brought by media shopping without the concern of being cheated.
