【正文】 m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether the city government should demolish illegal buildings. Opinions between us are divided. About 70% of the students are for the government’s decision. They think the illegal buildings have taken up too much of the greenbelt and always blocked the traffic. What’s more, most illegal buildings are over years or out of date, which not only breaks the beauty of the city but also exists some hidden dangers. About 30% of the students, however, hold the opposite opinion. The main reason is that a lot of illegal buildings are done by people who were out of job. They want to run some small business to support their families. So, to pull down these buildings will make some of them lose the means of earning a living. Best wishes Yours Li Hua (17) Wealth and Health 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 accumulate 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 good health can be happy. So, just do our best and keep fit. (18) Dear Editor, I’m writing to tell you about a recent discussion our class have had on whether or not university students should be financially independent. 60% of the students think that university students don’t have to be financially independent, because trying to make money will affect their studies. They also think that they can repay their parents in the future. 25% of my classmates hold the view that doing parttime jobs will help one gain work experience and learn more of society. Besides, when students find it hard to make money, they won’t waste their money any longer. 第 頁(yè) （共 24 頁(yè)） 18 15% of the students, including myself, partly agree with the opinions above. Personally I think that as grownups, we should not depend on our parents any more. However, if our parents can afford to pay the tuition for us, we should put our studies in the first place. Thank you for reading my letter Yours, Li Hua (19) I am a Senior 3 student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3, heavily burdened with their studies, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and fet all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t accept her ideas. I think it is relaxing to watch TV after a day’s hard work. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but it can broaden my horizons. Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news and programs of entertainment, sports or science。s bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment. (10) Several years ago, when a foreigner appeared in China, many people would gather around and stared at him or her as if they were watching a rare animal. However, it’s not unmon to meet some foreigners even in middle schools now. There’s no doubt that schools will be better known. What’s more, it’s good for students to develop interest in English study as well as learn more about foreign cultures. Meanwhile, their oral English will be improved a lot. On the other hand, some foreigners, though well paid, find it difficult to get used to the way of life in a foreign country and they sometimes worry about their safety. The most important thing is that they are not quite familiar with the students. As a result, many students can’t benefit from them. （ 11） Dear Sir, I’m a student of Senior 3. I am writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether to board in the school or at home. At the beginning of this term, my parents and teachers asked me to board in the school. They say it will be very convenient for me to ask questions whenever and wherever. Besides, they think boarding will make it possible to make full use of my night time, and that I can also develop the ability to look after myself. However, I have my own thought. Staying at home in the evening, I will have more time to work at my lessons. At the same time, I can learn what I think I’m not good at. I really don’t know what to do. Please give me your advice! Yours, LiHua (12) Dear editor, I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have recently had about whether we should know our parents’ ine. We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70％ ) think we should know our parents’ ine since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble. 第 頁(yè) （共 24 頁(yè)） 16 About 30％ of my classmates think it necessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said that, especially when the children know their p
