1、composition examples of band eightThe first weekChildren should begin their formal schooling at an early agePeople have different views on what children should do at a very early age. Some think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their time on studies. Other

2、s believe that it is still time for young children to play. Both views are based on respective ground.Those who argue for the playing time for children suggest that children at a very early age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be ready for serious studies

3、 such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials. These people are partially right, for it is true that young children can hardly concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer than 15 minutes or so. But we can arrange classes for shorter periods, cant we? And we can shift tea

4、ching subjects. Through putting them to study, young children are occupied with learning but not with playing.Those who argue for childrens early commencement for formal education believe that being put to studies, children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develo

5、p childrens mental abilities like the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and the ability to do simple calculation. Childrens habit of studying and love for learning are of great importance to youngsters because these two things set up the sound foundation for their future studies.Having

6、children start formal education at a very early age benefits young children much more than simply letting them play most of their time. A good habits needs a long time to develop to become a second nature. More importantly, it is better to develop a good habit before a bad one may grow. Similarly, t

People who know you well, know what is best for yo

8、u, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different perspective, or share their own experience.When I had difficulty deciding which classes to take in collage, I talked to my teachers and advisors, they had the knowledge and expertise to help me determine which classes were the best o

9、nes to take for my future career. Without their advice, I might have chosen unsuitable courses.In collage, I had convinced myself that I was not good enough to act in the school play. Therefore, I decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion. The day of the audition, a friend

10、 of mine asked me why I was not auditioning. When I told her I did not feel I was good enough, she was shocked, she was able to provide me with another perspective on myself and my talents. I rethought my decision and tried out.and got a lead in the play.Last year when I was trying to decide whether

11、 or not I should study overseas, I talked to my friend. This was the best thing I could have done. This was a big decision for me because I had never been overseas on my own and I was not sure if I could do it. She had studied overseas the precious year. She told me about the challenges and opportun

12、ities I might encounter and helped me make the right decision. I went and it was amazing.Whenever I am faced with an important decision, I seek advice from others so that I am well-informed and have the benefit of their perspective and experience.3My opinion on advertisementAdvertisements appear eve

13、rywhere in modern society. There are many way to advertise and ads come in different forms. Newspapers and billboards carry advertisements; some products are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience. Advertising is a big industry and many agencies are set up for furnish a variety of serv

14、ices for it.However, advertising is not welcome sometimes. A most irritating thing is to watch advertisements before and during films on TV. There are so many of them that they make you forget what you are sitting there for. The ironical thing is that advertisements of one type of things are often s

15、hown one after another so that you are confused as to which product you should choose. Whats more, advertising is not always truthful. The advertisers exaggerate the benefits of the merchandise they want to sell in order to gain more profits. Thus the consumer falls victim to such advertising.Althou

16、gh there are disadvantages of ads, we can not forget the advantages and the conveniences they bring to us. First, by telling us where something is available, they may save us money and time. They guide us in finding suitable jobs and other information as well. Secondly, a wide range of activities an

17、d institutions receive financial support through advertising. Without this support we would have to pay much more for newspapers and sports games. Thirdly, perfect advertisements even provide entertainment. A considerable amount of effort goes into their production. So in most cases the photography

18、is truly artistic, the slogans are genuinely witty, and the situations are decidedly funny.Generally speaking, advertisements have become one of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today. Let us make our life easier by learning to choose proper ads, and be the master of advertisements, not

19、their salve.4Living in university dormitories or apartments in the community? I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then move into an apartment for off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Students ne

20、eds change over four years, so their housing should too. Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older

21、 students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies in your first year is hard enough. You should not have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy. Living in the dormitory also make a student feel more a part of the un

22、iversity community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration. Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlords regulations,

23、 cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood. Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what is going on around them. Campus can be like little worlds of their own. Ther

24、e are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who are not students is good for students coming from difference places. It is a chance to find out what other people think and feel. I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-camp

25、us is a winning combination for most students. Providing physical exercises should not be the schools responsibility? While physical exercise is important, I do not believe that it is the schools responsibility to provide physical training for its students. That is something that everyone can take c

26、are of on his or her own. Many students get plenty of physical exercise as part of their daily life or recreation. A student who bicycles ten miles to and from school does not need more exercise. A good physical education program must take a students outside activity into consideration. Otherwise, s

27、ome students will spend valuable class hours repeating physical exercise. If a school offers such activities, it also suggests that students will be graded on them. The range of possible physical activities is great: football, swimming, weight lifting, ballet, ballroom dance, yoga, skiing, horseback

28、 riding, and golf are just a few. However, the number of activities that a school could offer is small. Some students could get bad grades in physical education simply because the school could not provide an activity they enjoy or do well. This seems unfair. Research suggests that participation, not

29、 excellence, in these activities determines the physical benefits the body will get. Another issue is economic. Many schools do not have the money to provide grey facilities, playing fields, and athletic equipment for their student. Other schools are located in cities where the kind of space just is

30、 not available. A few schools would rather keep money for academic purposes. Schools can certainly encourage physical activity. They can provide space for activities, events, and classes for physical activities. They can encourage students to plan time away from academic studies to get some exercise

31、. However, I think that providing exercise should not be the schools responsibility. 5The Most Important Personal Quality of a University Student Everyone has one or more dreams. But it is much easier to set an aim than to realize it. In the course of obtaining success, we need a number of helps, ei

32、ther external or internal, and the personal qualities are of superior importance. Among the qualifies, such as smartness, honesty, confidence, the most important one, in my opinion, is diligence. We are sure to encounter a number of difficulties on the way to success. On one hand, we must hold on. O

33、n the other hand, we should make efforts to find the best solutions as soon as possible. We have to force ourselves to know more, do more, and sweat more. Only working industriously can assure us of a good result. Being industrious means more work and less relaxation. So diligent people will complete
