College students should be encouraged to take part-time jobs.Ideas for
23、 reference:Doing part-time jobs and getting some experience is extremely significant for students.Doing part-time jobs provides students with profound experience and insights that never to be gained from textbooks by sitting in the classroom.Doing part-time jobs helps students get prepared for their
24、 career after graduation.Sample:College students should be encouraged to take part-time jobs. As more and more students tend to take part-time jobs, the debate on it becomes hotter and hotter. Traditionally, people tend to believe that the major task of college students is studying at school and str
25、iving hard to achieve distinguished academic accomplishments. However, I dont totally agree with them, and I firmly believe that doing part-time jobs and getting some experience is extremely significant. Firstly, doing part-time jobs provides students with profound experience and insights that never
26、 to be gained from textbooks by sitting in the classroom. For college students, especially the business major, the best way to utilize what they have learnt from books is to practice in the real world. Only by practicing can they have a better understanding of all the theories getting from books or
27、teachers. Secondly, doing part-time jobs helps students get prepared for their career after graduation. We all know the professional life is quite different from the campus life in the ivory tower. Entering the society, students have to be both financially and psychologically independent so that the
28、y can better shoulder both individual and social responsibilities. Therefore, getting contact with the outside world is of great help for them. In conclusion, college students should be encouraged to do part-time jobs. The society should provide guidance and advice rather than criticizing them. Give
29、n a tolerant atmosphere, college students would grow up healthily, and finally adapt better to society after graduation.2. China should further develop its auto industry instead of curbing its growth.Ideas for reference:The increase of private cars does well to the development of the economy.The inc
30、rease of private cars makes peoples life more convenient.Developing the auto industry can powerfully push forward the technological advancement.Sample:There is no doubt that the increasing ownership of private cars is responsible for the worsening condition of the environment. However, just as every
31、 coin has two sides, the increase of private cars also has its positive and negative sides and its positive side is that it certainly does well to the development of the economy as well as makes peoples life more convenient. As we all know, if there is a better developed car industry, more people wi
32、ll be able to buy and use cars, thus, peoples living standards will be greatly raised. Meanwhile, the use of cars does not necessarily mean worse pollution. In fact, most car makers are now developing vehicles using green energies, such as electricity and solar energy. And thanks to the enhanced awa
33、reness of environmental protection, more people are inclined to buy and use environment-friendly cars. Thus, automotive manufacturers will benefit from their efforts to produce “greener” automobiles. In this case, we can say that, in the near future, many more cars will be running in our streets whi
34、le our air conditions will be remarkably better than they are at the moment in most Chinese cities. More importantly, developing the auto industry can powerfully push forward our technological advancement. As it is known to all, car-making and the developing of cars of new designs can involve many s
35、ophisticated technologies that are significant for other sectors and even for our national security. Without the car industry to provide financial support, many inventions and innovations would be impossible. Therefore, rather than restricting the growth of our car-making industry, we should promote
