1. Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places?
In recent years, smoking has been banned in many public places such as shops, restaurants, and even bus stops. This regulation has triggered much dispute.
On the one hand, many welcome the ban since lots of illnesses and deaths are smoking-related, and this is a very sensible step to improve people’s health and living condition. On the other hand, however, smokers consider it is unfair to ban smoking. It is their right to smoke, and they are not committing any crime, so the government should not ban that.
In my view, to ban smoking is a long term process, during which education rather than enforcement is more likely to be the key to the success. Banning smoking in the public areas is a policy that should be implemented step by step.
2. On Internet Celebrities
In recent years a variety of Internet celebrities have emerged with different stories. Some folks consider it a cultural progress in this network era while some hold the opposite opinion.
I prefer to agree that this phenomenon is a progress.
First, the emergence of those celebrities represents the free expressions of new ideas, either creative or queer. New idea is a very important aspect in the development of this fast-moving world. Second, the society’s acceptance to the celebrities indicates that we are more open-minded and willing to take in new stuff than before. With more new ideas and open-minded sense, we are able to create an all-round diversified society.
All in all, the emergence of Internet celebrities, to some extent, is our progress in developing  a more diversified society.
3. Should Electricity in the Dormitory Be Cut Off after Midnight?
The electricity in the dormitory of some colleges is cut off after midnight to ensure students to go to bed early. Some people agree with this conduct for it is beneficial for students’ daytime study; while some argue that this regulation imposes restrictions on students’ private life.
For me, I agree with the latter opinion. First, a college student is already an adult, so he can control his work and rest schedule. Second, now people’s life depends on electricity very much. It is convenient when a student to use an appliance but the electricity is unavailable. Third, sometimes a student may study late. Without electricity, he can not finish his assignment on time and this is not good for his study.
Hence, colleges should abandon this unnecessary operation and offer 24-hour electricity supply to students.
4. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Keeping Pets
Nowadays many people like raising pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, etc. Actually, it is good to keep pets because pets can play with the young and accompany the old. Research also shows that living with a pet helps soothe people’s pressure and distress and even decreases the possibility of getting heart diseases.
However, many are against living together with animals. They argue that pets are easily inf
ected by diseases, which may pass on to humans. What’s more, the unpleasant smell and waste caused by pets are a resource of environmental pollution.you are not alone 下载
In my opinion, keeping pets bring joy to our life. But to avoid potential risks and troubles, we have to make sure that our pets are properly vaccinated and their behaviors are under control.
5. Factors of Success
Achieving success is an ideal for almost everyone. However, it does not mean everyone can make it, since it takes effort, time amongst other factor.
First of all, painstaking effort is indispensable for anybody who wants to be successful. “No pains, no gains” is the universal truth acknowledged by all successful men. Secondly, success always comes along with time. As the saying goes, “Rome was not built in a day”; likewise, any wish of becoming successful overnight is nothing more than a fantasy. Besides, there are other important factors leading to success, such as confidence, intelligence, patience, perseverance, to name just a few.
As a young man, I am still striving on my way to success. Already aware of the challenges and barriers ahead, I have equipped myself with the most courage and determination.
