paragraphs respectively based on the following two topicsentences with explanation and illustrative examples.1.Violence is destroying the sport of soccer in China.Ideas for reference:A football players leg was broken by his rival.Players attack each other.Stars hurt people in pubs and on the street.They promote the sales of newspapers but alienate people from the sport.Sample:Violence is destroying the sport of soccer in China.Just a few months ago,one ofthe countrys top football clubs lost its best striker,a player from Honduras.He had been in only less than half a season in China before his left leg was so severelyand“skillfully”broken by his rival in an otherwise dull match that he was sentback to his own country to recover.Almost every other week,players are seen onlive TV kicking,punching,or spitting on each other,or even worse,the referee.Off field,Chinas football players are also violently active.Now and then,storiesof some star attacking people in pubs late at night,or on the street in broad daylight,make newspaper headlines.They promote the sales of newspapers but alienate moreand more people from the sport.It has lost most of its audience.The number of TVviewers regularly watching live broadcasting of football matches has been decreasing.Sponsors are worried.They do not want to burn money for this bloody sport.2.College students should have more(less)time of their own.Ideas for reference:a lot of assignments from different coursesdesire to probe into territories outside majorsneed to discover more about ourselveswant to go deep into the real worldSample:College students should have more time of their own.Last week,my Reading classteacher required us to read a 300-page novel;my Communicative English course teacherasked us to prepare a short play within three days;the professor who teaches usgrammar told us that a test would be given on all the three new units of this semester;and,as the last straw,the composition teacher expressed his opinion that,in orderto improve our writing skill,we shou ld“write something”every day and sheexpected us to complete a 200-word essay during the weekend.All these conscientiousand responsible teachers seem to think that they are just helping us.Apparentlyit never occurs to them that we college students should have more time of our ownto do a lot of other things as well as school assignments.Yes,I am an English major,but that does not mean I have already made up my mind about my future career path.I want to have time to discover about other fields of knowledge.Likewise,studentsof other majors might also desire to probe into territories outside their own specialbranch of learning.And that takes time.In addition,we also need to discover moreabout ourselves:what we have a passion for,what we would really hate to do,whereour strengths really lie,which section of the future job market would offer thebest opportunities.Lastly,we need time to play,to make friends,to go deep intothe real world outside our classrooms.If we are always buried inour teachersassignments,we will lose so much and,in the end,lose ourselves.Listening
