8、as at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no clue about any banks around here or where they were located. I went to the bank and made decisions for myselfwhether to have a checking or savings account and wheth

9、er or not to get a MASTER card.Friendly people: thats another aspect I like about college. On my first day (and even now) people were nice to me. I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York and even though Id been here beforeI was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother a

10、nd I drove in, not knowing the building we were supposed to go to, and the guard was especially nice: with a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. Some upperclassmen saw me and asked, Are you a new student? When they found out I was looking for my dormi

12、e Our College Education?Nowadays, tuition fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to finance our college education has become a matter of concern for many students, especially those who are from the remote areas.Actually, there are many ways to solve this problem. We can get the money

13、 from our parents. We can apply for a loan especially set up for college students. We can also acquire the money entirely by ourselves, keeping a part-time job in our spare time and doing a full-time job in summer and winter holidays. Or we can ask our parents for most of the money and earn the rest

14、 in our spare time in college.As far as I am concerned, I prefer the last way. I dont want to depend entirely on my parents, which will be a burden to them. Nor do I want to work in my free time for the tuition alone, because I would like to have enough time for my school work. If my parents pay mos

15、t of the tuition for me, I will work part time for the rest and this, I believe, can make my college life rich and colorful.Introduction of My CollegeIm a student at Maebashi Institute of Technology in Gunma. It is located between Komagata and Shinmaebashi on the JR Ryomo Line. Its only 10 minutes f

16、rom JR Maebashi station on a bus or a taxi.Maebit was originally founded in 1952 as a junior college and it evolved into a four-year college in 1997. Today there are some 700 students in both the junior college and the four-year undergraduate school.Our school offers two sets of programs, the day co

17、urse and the evening course. Students can choose whichever suits their conveniences best from those two courses. Many lessons here are taught in small-sized classes.Im in the Department of Information Engineering. My field of study is Robotics. The first period begins at 9:30 a.m., which is rather l

18、ate, and the last period of the day course ends at 4:55 p.m. The classes for the evening course begin at 5:45 p.m. and end at 8:50 p.m.Maebits campus is not very large but it has a lot of flowerbeds and plants.

This building was built about five years ago, and2everything is still new in this building.There are many clubs, but Im not a member of any club. One of my friends is a member of the

21、eCollege life can be very stressful. Sometimes parents, faculty and others tend to idealize their college experience and remember it as that idyllic time when they had few worries or responsibilities. To students currently attending college, however, the process is often stressful and frustrating. T

22、he competition for grades, the need to perform, relationships, career choice, and many other aspects of the college environment cause stress.But before condemning stress outright, we need to understand that stress is only harmful when it is excessive. Much of the stress that we all experience is hel

23、pful and stimulating. The challenges of life tend to be stressful and an attempt to avoid stress completely would lead to a rather boring existence. The problem comes when you experience too much stress.There are four primary sources of stress: the environment, (noise, pollution, traffic, crowding,

24、and the weather), physiology, (illness, injuries, hormonalfluctuations, and inadequate sleeutrition), students thoughts (negative self-talk,catastrophizing, and perfectionism), and social stressors (financial problems, work demands, social events, and losing a loved one). Symptoms of stress appear i

25、n many forms. Some symptoms only impact the person who is directly experiencing stress, while other symptoms may have an impact on our relationships with others.Although some stress reactions are part of deeper and more serious emotional problems, many are not, and can be handled with relatively sim

26、ple counseling and stress-management techniques. Developing a balanced lifestyle, gaining perspective by discussing problems with other students or tutors, specifying relaxation techniques, and clarifying your values and cultivating a sense of life meaning can help you relieve your stress in college

27、.SportsFrom the earliest times, people have held sports competitions. The athletic few compete on the field while the rest of us participate from the safety of our seats.3Today sports are certainly as popular as ever, and because of radio and television, we can now compete from a distance.In fact, f

28、or important competitions, the whole world becomes one big stadium.It is hard to say why humans like organized games. The reasons that we enjoy sports probably differ from person to person. Whether little kids are kicking a ball around a city playground, or million-dollar-a-year athletes are playing

29、 in a modern stadium, the excitement of competition, motion, discipline, and beauty are in the air. Who doesnt stop to watch a ball game in the street or a swimmer in a pool? What parents are not proud to see their children carried off the field by thankful fans? For the players, the joys of sportsm

30、anship can include punishing self-discipline and the friendship of teammates.Then there is special thrill that comes only to a lucky few. It is the thrill that comes from hearing thousand voices shout your name. But personal victory is only one kind of victory. In every game someone must lose, but m

31、ankind wins every time an athletic record is broken. It is this aspect of sports that brings people together.Even in defeat, no one says to an athlete, So what? You say, Good try! And when your pride gets hurt and your muscles are sore, you say to yourself, Thats part of the game. Ill win next time!

32、 How to Deal with School PressureCollege can be a very demanding time for students. Professors, class projects, and extracurricular activities can all contribute to a stressed-out college student. While you will undoubtedly experience stress as a college student, following these tips may help keep c

33、ollege stress at a minimum before it becomes too hard to handle.Prioritize your schoolwork. Identify what is most important. If you have a presentation to give this Monday, dont write a one-page review thats due in a couple of weeks; prepare for the presentation first. Likewise, if you have an assig

34、nment that requires a lot of work, put it at the top of your list. When you prioritize your work, you will be more efficient. By becoming more organized, you can reduce your stress level drastically.Talk about your problems. Talking about your problems will help ease your tension and anxiety. Seek a

35、 trusted friend or see if your school has a counseling center. Talking to others will not only help you feel better, but it will also help you find more ways to deal with those problems that are causing your stress.Adopt a positive attitude. If you are always negative, stress will overwhelm you. By

36、looking at things in a positive light, you will not only reduce your stress, but you will also feel better about yourself. Give yourself pep talks: I can do this. I will not stress over this.4Take time to relax. To maintain peak performance and reduce your amount of stress, you should take time to r

37、elax. Performing some sort of physical activity for thirty minutes three times a week will considerably lower your stress level. Throw a Frisbee with your friends, watch your favorite TV show or enjoy your alone time. Taking the time to relax will help reduce your stress level.The Need of IronHow do

38、 we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich foods? Many nutritionists are advocating the fortification of a number of foods. This may help, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts in nutrition education among our young people. I simply do not buy the argument

39、 that it is futile to try tochangeeatinghabits.Onceanintelligentpersonandthisincludesadolescentsunderstands the need for a healthy diet, I think he or she will act accordingly. As for specific actions: I suggest that blood hemoglobin( 血紅蛋白 )should be checked as a routine part of a youngsters yearly

40、physical examination. It should contain at least 11grames per 100 milliliters of blood for a girl and at least 12 grams for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily absorbed iron supplement.Adolescentsand everyone elseshould cut out highly processed foods and drinks

41、, which may be low in iron and other nutrients. Read the labels for iron content. Especially make sure that all bakery products are made with enriched flour or whole grains. Try adding liver, chicken, beef, veal or any other variety to the weekly menu.Finally, even when youre trying to lose weight,

42、always eat a sensible, well-balanced diet made up of a variety of fresh or very lightly processed foods. This way, you stand a good chance of getting not only enough iron, but also adequate amounts of all the other essential nutrients.Title: Students Taking Part-time Jobs Outline:1. 有人認(rèn)為大學(xué)生打工好2. 有人認(rèn)

43、為大學(xué)生打工不好3. 我的看法Some people think that college students should do part-time jobs. They think college students will be members of the society soon, so they need to get a real sense of how the society runs. In this regard part-time jobs may help, because they not only give college students different ch

44、ances to know more about different people, but also prepare them better with various experiences for their future.Other people, however, maintain that part-time jobs do more harm than good to college students. They believe, to a college student, study should always be the only job, which entails a g

45、reat deal of time and effort, and that taking a part-time job is simply nothing but a distraction. Furthermore, college students are still too young to handle the complicated society, which may discourage them from doing school work and even lead them astray.In my opinion, college students must lear

46、n how to cope with life outside campus5by taking some part-time jobs, because they will be members of the society sooner or later. And what they learn through practice in the society can, on the other hand, help them to know more about themselves and their school work. Therefore they may decide how

47、they will learn on campus more efficiently. There is yet another reason why I applaud college students for having some part-time jobs. I come from a peasant area in west China. Part-time jobs mean a lot to those students like me: They can improve their campus life with the money they get out of the

48、jobs, so that their parents wont have to worry too much about them. I believe if college students spend their time wisely, they will be able to manage well both school work and part-time jobs.Some Tips for Effective Verbal CommunicationVerbal communication plays a significant role in our daily life,

49、 especially in modern society. Since we get along with other people in every field, we must learn how to communicate effectively. Here are some of the techniques that may contribute to effective verbal communication.First, think about what we are going to tell someone, then speak briefly and clearly

50、 in order to make ourselves understood. Second, express ourselves warmly and sincerely. This can help create a friendly atmosphere for a talk. Third, if we are supposed to be listeners, we should concentrate on what the speaker says and give positive feedback by nodding or smiling from time to time.

51、 And fourth, we can politely ask the speaker to repeat what we do not hear or quite understand and this, as you know, can help the communication go on smoothly.When I communicate with others, whether as a speaker or a listener, I always bear in mind the above-mentioned skills. They are very much con

52、ducive to effective conversations.TITLE：Which one do you like, active class or passive class? Write out your view onthem.EXAMPLE:Active Classes of Passive ClassesAlthough classes often seem alike in appearance, the differences between passive classes and active classes are enormous.The passive kind

53、of class usually has a teacher who lectures, puts outlines and terms on the chalkboard and imparts information to the students. For example, my second-year biology teacher, rarely looked up from his notebook in which he had carefully written all his lectures. Teachers in a passive classroom simply d

54、ictate information and answers. They pour facts into the students like water into a pot. The students are usually force to sit, listen, take notes, and do only what the teacher requires them to.6The other kind of class, the active one, usually has a teacher who stimulates the students to learn for t

55、hemselves by asking questions, by deliberately posing problems, and most of all by being a student himself, too. Such a teacher might plan the outline of a course, but doesnt direct the class in only one direction. Students in active classes become more involved in their learning; they ask questions

56、 and read books to search for some answers themselves, and then discuss what they have found in class.I prefer active classes because learning becomes fun there. Although students may not car much about facts in classes, their attitudes toward learning and their excitement in discovering answers for

57、 themselves do no end with the class.TITLE:Now many students use electronic dictionaries. Give us your view on electronic dictionary.EXAMPLE:On Electronic DictionaryElectronic dictionaries are becoming more and more popular among college students because of its small size and multitude of functions.

58、 But just as every coin has two sides, electronic dictionaries are no exception. Some students like electronic dictionaries, because they believe this kind of new dictionary has many advantage. First, compared with a traditional dictionary, its obviously very handy and convenient. Furthermore, due to its many functions, its also very helpful. It can serve both as an English-Chinese one. Most important of all, many of them can even teach the learner how to pronounce a word.But other students think that they still have much to be desired. They p
