They believe, to a college student, study should always be the only job, which entails a great deal of time and effort, and that taking a parttime job is simply nothing but a distraction. Furthermore, college students are still too young to handle the plicated society, which may discourage them from doing school work and even lead them astray. In my opinion, college students must learn how to cope with life outside campus 6 by taking some parttime 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 they will learn on campus more efficiently. There is yet another reason why I applaud college students for having some parttime jobs. I e from a peasant area in west China. Parttime jobs mean a lot to those students like me: They can improve their campus life with the money they get out of the jobs, so that their parents won’t 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 parttime jobs. Some Tips for Effective Verbal Communication Verbal munication plays a significant role in our daily life, especially in modern society. Since we get along with other people in every field, we must learn how to municate effectively. Here are some of the techniques that may contribute to effective verbal munication. First, think about what we are going to tell someone, then speak briefly and clearly 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. 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 munication go on smoothly. When I municate with others, whether as a speaker or a listener, I always bear in mind the abovementioned skills. They are very much conducive to effective conversations. TITLE： Which one do you like, active class or passive class? Write out your view on them. EXAMPLE: Active Classes of Passive Classes Although classes often seem alike in appearance, the differences between passive classes and active classes are enormous. The passive kind of class usually has a teacher who lectures, puts outlines and terms on the chalkboard and imparts information to the students. For example, my secondyear biology teacher, rarely looked up from his notebook in which he had carefully written all his lectures. Teachers in a passive classroom simply dictate 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. 7 The other kind of class, the active one, usually has a teacher who stimulates the students to learn for themselves 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 doesn’t direct the class in only one direction. Students in active classes bee more involved in their learning。m not a member of any club.

Nowadays, tuition fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to finance our college education has bee 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 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 parttime job in our spare time and doing a fulltime job in summer and winter holidays. Or we can ask our parents for most of the money and earn the rest in our spare time in college. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the last way. I don39。 jobhunting process tougher. Some analyze that against the backdrop of intensified employment tension for university graduates, needy students from rural and urban areas usually find themselves in relatively inferior positions. Some graduates realize that in order to get a job, they have to sign some unfair treaties that promise not to take the postgraduate exam or leave the pany within several years, or they have to pay 5,000 Yuan for breaching the contract.
