10 On money（关于金钱）/ Money is not everything（金钱不是万能的）
A famous saying goes that “money is a good servant but a bad master.” Should we become its masters or its slaves? I think we should be the masters of money and never be controlled by money. As we all know, money is necessary for a happy life, for we need money to make a living in the society. But money is not equal to happiness and a lot of rich people live a miserable life. Money is important, but it is not everything. We should think of money in a correct way and never do anything illegal in order to get money.
11 Newspapers论报纸
I read newspapers every day. As a student, I have no time to watch news programs on TV. Besides, watching television takes up a lot of time. So reading the newspaper becomes the only way for me to learn about what's happening around the world.
There is an old Chinese saying, \ewspaper is a must for those who wish to keep up with the times.
12 Happy Things in my Childhood童年趣事
There are many happy things in my Childhood. I still remember the good old days when I play with my family. When I was 10 years old, my father took me to Hong Kong to see my aunt. This was my first visit to Hong Kong. During my stayed there, I went to the famous Ocean Park and the Hong Kong Disneyland. My aunt was very excited and we all had a good time. This travel became the happiest things in my childhood.
13 Health and Wealth健康与财富 Health and Wealth, Which do you prefer? Most people prefer wealth to health. They think money is the most important. And they can buy whatever they want with money. But I disagree with them. In my opinion, health is more important than wealth. If you are in good health, you can do a lot of things you want and enjoy them while you are doing so. And of course you can work to better off you life. So I think health is more important for me than wealth.
14 Water Pollution水污染 Everybody knows that water pollution is a serious problem in the world. Lots of rubbish or chemical pollutants have been thrown in the rivers, lakes and seas. Many of them are getting dirtier and dirtier. Fish have died in the water, and people get sick after drinking polluted water.
My grandfather says, when he was very little, the water in the river was very clean. He often swam in the river with his friends. But now we can’t see such clean rivers. Let’s protect the water from pollution, because we can’t live without water. The water is really important to us all.

17 Private Cars in China 中国私家车/ Buy a car or not?（买不买车？）/ On private cars（关于私家车） In China, a lot of people own private cars.
There is no doubt that private cars make us travel faster and farther, but they have caused some problems. First, too many private cars make the road crowded and cause traffic jams. Second, they pollute the air. Third, they cause a lot of traffic accidents. How can we solve these problems? I think we should go to work by bus instead of driving private cars. Only in this way, can we protect our living environment.
18. The Chinese New Year（中国新年）
“New Year” is a time for good cheer. In China men and women, boys and girls, all look forward to a happy year. It is time for rest and refreshment. Business is suspended for a time.

22) How to use a dictionary（如何使用字典）
When you are reading something in English, you may often come across a new word. What's the best way to know it? We should choose a good English-Chinese dictionary. It tells us the meaning of the English words in Chinese. When you meet a new word, don't use the dictionary at once. Try your best to think about what it means before you look it up in the dictionary. If you can't guess the meaning, look it up in the dictionary. If you use the dictionary as often as possible in your English learning, it will become your good friend.
23) My favorite piece of music（我最喜欢的音乐）
All of us have some of favorite songs. Most of the Chinese people like Chinese songs. But I think the English songs are wonderful as well.
Yesterday Once More is my favorite song. It is such a beautiful song that people all over the world know it. The rhythm of Yesterday Once More is very soothing and touching. The lyrics are also beautiful which tells people the good old days. When I listen to this song, I seem to be back to my happy childhood. I love the singers’ voices very much.
24) My favorite means of transportation（我最喜欢的交通方式）/ Which means of transportation do you prefer?（你最喜欢哪一种交通方式？） There are so many means of transportation, such as bus, taxi, subway.
Bus is cheap but a little slow. Every time I should go out early to wait for some time, and it takes long time to get to the destination. Taxi is fast but a little expensive. It costs much money to get to the destination. My favorite means of transportation is subway. Subway is cheap, convenient and not so expensive. It saves my money as well as my time. So my favorite means of transportation is subway.

25) My Favorite Food（我最喜欢的食物）
I like many different kinds of foods, among them, egg is my favorite. Egg contains a lot of essential nutrients needed by the human body. Eggs are oval shaped spheres with a light brown color. Egg is the basic ingredient to many dishes, like omelet and French toast. You can easily get eggs at any supermarket, and they are sold for a very cheap price too. Besides the cheap price, egg contains lots of nutrients and is a very good source of energy. In conclusion, egg is my favorite food.
26) My best workmate（我最好的同事）
My best workmate is a very lovely girl. Her name is Lucy. We cooperate with each other very happily. When we have a new task, firstly both of us will express our opinions of how to do it. Then we will have a discussion and make a detailed plan of what she and I should do separately to finish the task. Afterwards, we will try our best to do our own job. Lucy is really hardworking and careful. She will always finish her task perfectly. I will try my best too. We always do a good job in our cooperation. To work with her is quite a happy thing.
27）Talking About Yourself（谈谈你自己） My name is Li Hua. I was born and brought up in Shanghai. I am 25 years old. I live with my parents in a flat in the northern part of the city. I work as a salesperson in a foreign trade company. My job is not so easy as I have to write e-mails and talk with my clients all the time. Sometimes I have to go on a business trip. I also go to TV University to study English because I think English is quite helpful to my work. During my spare time, I’d like to play basketball and go swimming with some of my friends.
28）My family life（我的家庭生活）/ Living in a big family（生活在一个大家庭）
I have a happy family. There are four people in my family. They’re my father, my mother, my sister and I. My father is a teacher. He teaches English. He loves his student, and often plays with them. My mother is a doctor. Because she thinks it’s a great job and doctors can save people’s lives. She cooks meals and cleans the house every day. My sister is a student. She wants to be a singer, and she likes dancing. I’m working in a company and studying in TV University. I love my family and enjoy living in a big family.
29）My dream house（我理想中的家）/ My dream( 我的梦想) I dream to have a house in Shanghai. My dream house should be very big. There should be three bedrooms in the house, because I would like to live with my parents. I would like my parents to live in a bedroom, my wife and I live in another bedroom and my son live in the third room. There should be a big kitchen. I like eating very much. With a big kitchen, I can cook a lot of good food to eat and enjoy my life in Shanghai.
30）The way to success（成功的方法）
As we all know, not all people can make success in their lives. Most people will meet with failures on the way to success. Why do some people get successful in their lives? I think there are three reasons. Firstly, they have strong willpower. Once they decide to do something, they will never give up. Secondly, they work hard. Once they set up a goal, they will work hard to achieve it. Thirdly, they never easily quit. They always stick to their aims. I believe that where there is a will there is a way, and that success belongs to those who can make constant efforts.
31）Smoking is harmful（吸烟有害） Although people can see “Smoking is harmful to health” on the cigarette case, a lot of people still go on smoking and can not give it up.
Undoubtedly, smoking is harmful to health. Lung cancer is mainly caused by cigarettes. Smoking is not only harmful to the smokers but also the people around them. This second-hand smoking may cause the same lung damage. At present, more and more young men even students start smoking at an early age, and this is not a good phenomenon.
Therefore, I want to advise those people to give up smoking. Only giving it up can we keep healthy.
32) About Internet（论因特网） 1.关于因特网的弊端 2.因特网对我的影响3.因特网带来的益处
Internet has its good as well as bad sides. Internet can help people a lot, but it also has many disadvantages. For example, there are some sexy news and pictures on the website which will not do well to the young people. So young people should learn to get ride of the disadvantages of internet and learn to make use of the advantages that internet brings to us. On the other hand, internet can let me know the outside world, make me informed of daily news, and it has brought joy and interest into my lives. So we should make good use of the internet.
