【正文】 September the 10th is a day to remember. Because it?s a day to thank those who care us, teach us, and the most important, educate us to be useful to the society. I still remember it clearly when I was denied the opportunity to participate in the writing contest, my heart sank. The frustration and sadness almost overwhelmed me as I felt I was discarded and I thought for sure I would never pick up my pen to write. At that time, my teacher gave me power and energy to regain my confidence. Immediate help and advice on writing were also offered, which made me realize my weakness and know how to improve. Through the encouragement, I soon picked up my pen. And also I learned to enjoy writing instead of focusing on prize. Among many exam experiences, I still remember what happened in the final exam last term. In the past I always felt nervous at the beginning of exams. And because of this, I never gave the best performance.. But in the last final exam, when I got the paper, I was surprised to see some warm words on the paper, Hi, everyone. Believe in yourself and you will do best. Good luck. Seeing these words, the feeling of nervousness soon disappeared and I became confident. I did best that time. Ever since then, whenever I have exams, these simple but warm words always encourage me and make me feel confident. Television has its good as well as bad sides. It makes us informed of daily news, lets us know the outside world, provides lessons for learners, and it has brought joy and interest into people?s lives. Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmful to the young. Violent movies are shown on TV programs. Children regard the murders as heroes or models, so they imitate. Therefore there happened many murders or shooting cases in American campuses. What a big harm. So young people should learn to get ride of the bad influences of TV and learn to make use of the advantages that TV brings us. 31. How I Spend My Spare Time（我是如何度過閑暇時(shí)間的） /My activities in the leisure time/ my leisure activities The most important duties of college students are studying. But besides studying, we should also enjoy a good life in our leisure time. There are many ways of spending the spare time. My ways are as follows. First of all, I spend about half of my leisure time is listening to music. In this way, I can thoroughly relax myself both physically and mentally。1. I have a dream from the first time I sit in a car—I want to drive. Driving is the most meaningful way to meet human being?s desire of ―faster‖. What?s more, driving a car can take me to any place I want whether it rains, snows, blows or not. A smooth ride in a good car is enjoyable. With rows of trees moving backward rapidly, music played, breeze blowing, my soul flies in the air. I love this feeling very much 2. My favorite sport is basketball because it is very exciting. I like basketball also because the NBA stars play very well. Basketball is a good sport for our health. We can grow taller if we play basketball as often as we can. Besides, it can keep us fit. I play basketball three times a week. Most often I play it in my school. I feel very happy when I play basketball in school with my classmates. Sometimes I play basketball on the playground near my home during summer vacations. Playing basketball is not so hard as some people imagine. But many young people dream to bee big stars like Michael Jordan and Yao Ming, which is rather difficult because you should, first of all, be gifted and then have a lot of practice from early age in order to bee very good player. 3. Which is more important, wealth or health? Different people have different opinions. Some people prefer wealth, holding that money can not bring everything, but without it, one can do nothing. In order to get more money they can do anything. However, other people regard health as more important. Once health is lost, it is no use having a lot of money. As far as I am concerned, I love wealth, but I value health more. Everybody wants to live a happy life. So they try their best to earn money which they can ensure they lead a fortable life, but if happiness and fort are achieved at the cost of their health, how can they be happy Without health money bees meaningless. In my opinion, no one agrees that a wealthy person without
