with the speed of life in city and pressurefrom work growing continuously, It's getting more difficult for parents to find enough time staying with their children, so the communication content and method used during the precious time is being fully discussed. Someone said,parents should take the health and joy of children as the fundamental duty and doing sports or playing games with them is the best choice when getting together,However, I think something related to children's study should be assigned the priority for parents .

At the very beginning, what children really need fist is what parents should provide first. An important role of most Chinese children is student. Children, especially the younger kids, pay so much attention to their school performance as well as homework. So adults should bea powerful support to help children dealing with all kinds of problems related to their study, which is not only the difficult questions on paper, but also frustrations or bad emotions taken from school. If a child cannot recover from the endless work or failure on exams, he will not have the motivation to play games or do sports with parents, too. Therefore, study related topic is the basic part parents should care to satisfy the need of children.

Second, study assistance first will benefit parents onthe other hand, creating a better image for them. For instance, when trying to playing with me when I am young, the role of my father in a game like playing mud is just a play partner who was not fully skilled or even impatient in this kind of children-suited game, and thus the rare communication chance brought us nothing but embarrassment. This kind of failed interaction will apparently damage the image of parents in children's minds. Referring to study, nevertheless, parents have their own advantages at most times. They can easily find out the answer of question which may be regarded as a world-class problem in children's eyes, or they are able to provide useful guidance to the problem-solving direction like a captain, which is just a role nearly every boy dreams of. Therefore,focusing on study will benefit parents on their image development.

Finally, a common and related topic with good image of two parties will inevitably create a harmonious and high-efficient communication for the whole family. When parents and children have the same goal they are concerned, work together and produce good outcome,the extrinsic achievement like study ability will bring about an intrinsic sense of achievement for all people, enhancing emotion communication and attachment among them, and create a positive communicating environment. As a result, the whole family will be a good team and get improvement through spending time onstudy together.

In a sum, I believe that parents use the sparedtime to do something related to children’s study is a good choice for bothchildren, parents, as well as the family as a whole.

Charles Dickens ever said it was the best of times; it was the worst of times. As the generation received more improvements of the world like IT revolution and globalization, we are also required morefrom wealth to abilities. There are consequently unlimited complaints about the over-strict rules from society. However, in my view, the rules set outside are notstrict but inevitable and necessary, and what we should do is strengthening ourselves.

First of all, the judgment that whether the rules from society are really "strict" is determined by individual's subjective feeling. We may be asked to have a higher education background to get a position, more skills in computer or finance to find a job, or moresocial responsibility to hold compared with the youth of our parents. But as far as I'm concerned, all of these rules are inevitable and necessary.Different from taking a city even a town as the extent to consider decades ago,the youth nowadays are facing billions of competitors in this shrinking earthvillage, with continuously appearing inventions and new skills. As a result,strict rule like language ability requirement or certificate from companies isjust a reflection of the pressure even a necessary alarm clock to force the young be well-equipped both physically and psychologically before confronted with reality.

Moreover, the rule is a kind of useful selecting and training method to improve the ability of the young. We can donothing but keep learning and developing due to the forces from outside, which will eventually translate the extrinsic pressure into the intrinsic power of us.It's always easy for a senior school student to do the math homework of a primary school student because you have gotten enough training and ability of question-analysis and calculation through several years' hard working, and that's the function of rules. Nietzsche said anything that cannot make us dead will eventually make us stronger. If we can use the rules of the society toimprove ourselves, it's never too strict to suffer.

In a sum, any rules driven by irresistible tendency like social development and globalization is never too strict in my eyes because you have to face the reality. Also, any rules we can follow and use them as the tool to improve ourselves is never too strict from my point of view. Therefore, as a member of the young generation in the society, I accept the rules and never feel too strict.

The lecturer, a part-time buzzer, takes his own experience and feeling as the evidence and gives totally different views to every critic to buzzing in the text. First, instead of telling lies to mislead people as the reading material says, the lecturer claims that only those who really use the product they promotes and have a good impression about it can bechose to be the buzzers. In other words, giving truth is the reason companieshire them instead of ordinary advertisers.Second, the lecturer points out that thereal situation is just opposite to the critic, which contends that consumerswill believe whatever they heard from buzzers. People will be suspicious of every word buzzers said when informed that they are talking with a buzzer. They will have endless questions to ask and ready to leave once there is any answer dissatisfying to them.Finally, contradictory to the view that buzzing will destroy trust in society even the whole civilization, the lecturer refutes that buzzers are not bad and they are all recruited with the requirement of being sincere. Therefore, buzzing is a kind of trust-delivery activity instead of mistrust, and the result will be definitely good and honesty.

The lecturer contradicts the point of view in the reading material that forest fire is destructive and "let it be" policy should be replaced. She gives a number of examples to explain the good results which the famous forest fire brought later in 1988.

First of all, the lecturer contends that there are more diverse vegetations covering the scorched land after the disaster because the fire cleans up the tress and gives opportunities to other kinds of plants to grow like smaller plants which require un-shadowed open space and the vegetations with the need of high level of heat.

Second, instead of losing habitats and thus being unable to survive as the text claims, the species of animals get recovery soon and certain kinds of animals even have opportunities to live better according the lecturer. For instance, corresponding to the growth of small plants which replaces trees, some small animals like rabbits and heirs get new habitats and thrive quickly, attracting related predators and finally creatinga stronger food chain than before.

Lastly, the lecturer admits the influence of the fire to the tourism in 1988, but he points out that the massive forest fire appeared only once so far with a series of critical conditions such as low rainfall, unusually strong winds and accumulated dry underground. Therefore, the  rare fire will not affect the annual tourism and economy in a long run.

In a sum, contrasting to the passage, the lecturer states totally different opinions to the forest fire with detailed explanations in three dimensions, vegetations, animals and economy, and concluds that the fire is also creative instead of destructive only.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People should buy things made by their own country, even if things of othercountries may cost less?

"Support domestic goods" has beena quite common slogan in many campaigns like labor strikes during economic crisis or demonstrations for border clash and been received as a norm. Numbers of people regard purchasing goods from home as a method to protect the domestic economy; many people are proud of this decision and posing themselves as patriots with the spirit of self-sacrifice because they pay more. However, several points in rational and perceptual dimensions will be demonstrated to prove the ridiculousness of this view above.

First and foremost, buying things made by our own country regardless of the price cannot strengthen the development of our country in the long term. A general misunderstanding is that buying more domestic goods will create more demands; more demands impulse more supplies, which equals to the enhancement of the production of local factories and the prosperityof the whole economy finally. The point of view seems superficially indisputable but totally incomplete to construct the logical chain however, because the world outside is not taken into consideration as a key variable. We are living in an open system where material, cash and information are all flowing bidirectionally. Selective demand will hurt the import and the change will be received as a signal by the world at once. The exports of the domestic goods will then relatively decline even worse as a result of the counterattacks like trade barrier policies from the enormous foreign market. Therefore, even if helping add some good percentages on the domestic production index at present, blindly supporting domestic products will push our country into the opposite side to the whole world eventually.

Second, the opinion about supporting domestic products only sometimes comes from an inadvisable emotional impulse. It sounds so loyal and noble to spend more money of the individual to buy goods made by our fellow citizens for the sake of the nation. Actually, however, how many people under the slogan are looking for the sense of self-satisfaction by this kind of little self-sacrifice while gaining the praise as a patriot? Frankly speaking, I’m quite disgusted with people identifying themselves as protectors of the state interests. What a sense of Nationalism can bring about is not only heroes but also terrorists, also, agreeing on a view through personal feeling even intuition will lead to blindness even damage to what we really want to protect initially. Consequently, I cannot agree with a view from an irrational emotional impulse even self-deceiving like this.

Someone says, those who hurt others will get hurt one day. The activity that purchasing domestic goods regardless of price is a kind of hurt to other countries which can be found easily in economical history and contemporary international affair news. With the name as trade protectionism in reason or nationalism in emotion, it will bring nothing but damage to not only our country but also the global economy in the long term. Having witnessed so many lessons from past and now, I believe we should support our country in a more reasonable way instead of buying products made by our own country at any cost.
