Dear Sir,

How are doing?Hope everything goes well with you!

Right now I am writing to you to tell you something about Yangtze Finless Porpoise. On

account of lack of

human protection, the number of Yangtze Finless Porpoise is becoming smaller and smaller, only

1000 left up to

now. Most of them are dying out. Therefore, it’s time we took immediate measures to change the

situation.

So I hope WWF will do something to help Yangtze Finless Porpoise by setting up a special

fund organization

or drawing up some rules on how to protect it and so on.

I will be looking forward to your reply. Thank you!

A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time. From the pie chat, we can see 53% of the students like sports, so doing sports is the most popular activity in our school. The second popular activity for students is surfing the Internet and 36 % of the students have interest in it. Only a few students, about 8 percent of them, take reading as a hobby. And even fewer are fond of playing musical instruments.

In my point of view, our school should have more sports facilities built to satisfy the need of the students. Guidance should be given to students on surfing the Internet and ways must be found to arouse students’ interests in reading and music.

People always advocate that men and women should be equal.

Though the female has fought for the equal rights for a very long time, some young girls are not strong enough to get their rights. For them, as they are young, it is the best time to enrich themselves with all kinds of knowledge and be equipped with many practical skills. The most important thing is to be independent. The old generation believes that girls should rely on men and let their husbands make decisions, while for the young generation, if they want more rights, which means they must have their power. So girls need to stand on their own feet, no matter they are single or married.

When they become independent, they can make their own choice and live the life they want.

To many people even the word “work” sounds unpleasant, not necessarily because they are lazy. The same man, who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office, may work hard at the weekend, painting the house or digging the garden.

What is the reason, then? In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing. It does not give them any real satisfaction. It may be quite easy, like making up wooden boxes, but it is very boring. Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one, such as attaching a door handle to a car. But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say: I have made something!

Hard life is good for children

Nowadays, quite a lot of parents are in dilemma. On one hand, they want their children to have a comfortable life and good studying environment. On the other hand, they are afraid that children will be spoiled. And then they will lack of good personality. What is most serious is that they good for nothing in the future.

In my opinion, hard life is good for children. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, children will study hard if they have a hard life. It is important for them to know hardship through their lives. Secondly, they will know it is very difficult for parents to earn money. Therefore, they won’t spend too much money at will. At last, they can become more independent and stand on their feet from hardship.

Although our lives become better and better, it is not the reason for children to become lazier.

Parents should make children do housework at home. Encouraging children to be a volunteer if they have chance on holiday. And they will know the real hard when they see some children in poor country.

Recently the rise in phenomenon of the graduates signing up for the army has aroused public concern.

According to a research, about 31% of graduates sign up for the army this year, which sets a new record during these ten years.

The reasons why so many graduates sign up for the army can be complicated. First of all, most of them are attracted by the outstanding treatment.

Besides, joining the army can release the pressure of looking for the job. Finally, a number of graduates treat the army as a group which can strengthen their bodies and train their mental strength.

As far as I concerned, I agree on the opinion that the army can train graduates well, but I doubt it can solve the problem of obtaining employment.

So I call on treating signing up for the army properly.
