Ming十、1、Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city.The city offers a wide choice of jobs foradults and schools for children.It also provides plenty of facilities for culture,entertainment andrecreation-restaurants,department stores,cinemas,and so on.Besides,transportation isusually well developed in the city,with a variety of modes of travel,including buses,trams andsubways.In the country,on the other hand,one can enjoy the advantages of fresh air and food,and a morerelaxed life style.Housing is usually spacious and inexpensive in the country.And,as forrecreation,what could be more relaxing than a stroll down a country lane amid beautiful scenery?Conversely,there are disadvanteges to living in either the city or the country.City air tends tobe polluted,and the streets are always crowded and noisy.In the country,by contrast,the lack ofstimulating activities can make a person feel bored and isolated.All in all,I would say that living in the city is best,for the convenience the city offers in terms ofeducation and work;after all,one can always spend vacations in the country-and get the bestof both.(198)2.Nowadays there is often a lack of understanding between parent and child.As children get older,they become less eager to communicate with their parents,and a so-called generation gap”isformed.There are many causes for this.First of all,parents tend to be conservative and satisfied withwhat they have,while children are always keen to experience something new,and are quick toadopt new fashions and ways of thinking.Parents,because they have a better understanding of thedangers in society,criticize their younsters,behavior and are reluctant to let them have their ownway.At the same time,children regrad their parents as old-fashioned and ignorant of the modernworld.To dispel such misunderstanding,I reckon that parents should realize that their their children donot need constant protection so much as help to stand on their own feet as independent youngpeople.Meanwhile,children should recognize that their parents have a wealth of experience,andappreciate their advice and assistance.(165)3.Today more and more advertisements are appearing on the TV screen.They are not only shownbefore and after all kind of programs-news,weather forecasts,quiz shows,and so on-buteven interrupt dramas and movies,and annoy the viewers.The factors for this phenomenon are that,to begin with,TV is most efficient and rapid way ofdisseminating information.As China develops its highly competitive market economy,manufactures and sales people need to inform the general public of the latest commodities that areavailable.Furthermore,TV stations use the money that they eam from showing theadvertisements to produce more programs.Last but not least,it is necessary to keep consumersinformed of the range of products that they may choose from.Accordingly,advertisements on TV serve three useful purposes.Nevertheless,the TV stationsshould avoid showing advertisements which are of poor quality and make sure that advertisementsdo not appear so frequently that they spoil the viewers enjoyment of his or her favourite programs.(167)4.As a human being,one can hardly do without a friend.In fact,friends are sometimes morevital and useful to us than our own family members.Our joys are more pleasant when we have afriend to share them;and our sorrows are easier to bear if we have a friend at our side.Indeed,wesometimes find it easier to confide in friends when we have secrets we are reluctant to reveal toeven our closest relatives.Unfortunately,not all the people we are accustomed to calling friends are friends in the true senseof the word;most of the people we share social occasions with are merely acquaintances.Realfriendship involves sincerity,mutual trust and self-sacrifice,both in moments of happiness and onoccasions of crisis.A true friend will not just tell us what we want to hear,but advise us to do whathe or she assumes is really best for us in the long run.My principle in making friends is to ignore things like what work they do and what their socialbackgrounds are,but,instead,to observe carefully the little things that reveal their characters.Only in this way can I be sure that these friends will never let me down,and that we will alwaysbe ready to help each other no matter what problems crop up.(226)5.Education plays a very important role in the modernization of our country.Without awell-educated population,China will not be able to achieve its planned economic growth,catch up with the developed nations technologically or improve the living standards of itspeople.Yet,according to recent statistics,there are over two million children in China whohave dropped out of school because their parents are too poor to pay the fees.At the moment,the authority has too many things to do as it build up the economy,andcannot afford the money needed to get those children back to school.And so a nationwide driveis necessary to raise funds to rescue them from illiteracy and ignorance.That drive is called the“Project Hope”.The project is a timely response to the problem,and many children living in thepoverty-stricken parts of China now have a more billiant future because of the generosity of thepeople who have donated money to it.Nevertheless,the“Project Hope is only a temporary measure,and not a permanent solution.What is needed is a properly funded education system so that all children can be guaranteed aneducation which will equip them to play their roles to the full in the modernization of China.(211)6.The desire for good health is universal.With the quickening pace of urban life andever-increasing pressure,people in mounting numbers are suffering either physical or mentalproblems.It is universally acknowledged that good health is the key to a happy life and asuccessful career.There are numerous ways of keeping fit.First and foremost,it is most effective to do physicalexercises.People respectively choose jogging,playing basketba
