In recent years, more and more students at colleges and universities are using laptops. Still more students are asking their parents for one. However, is it a ne
8、cessity for their study? I dont think so. On the one hand, it is safe to say that a laptop is of great help to some students study. This is especially true as far as the hard working students are concerned. With the enrollment ever growing at colleges and universities, the school resources available
9、 to the students are quite limited. In this case, having a laptop is no doubt convenient for their study. With a laptop, they can get access to the Internet, searching for academic information, learning foreign languages and working on their graduate papers. As for these students, they can equally d
10、o well in their study without a laptop. On the other hand, there are a lot of students whose laptops are used in quite a different way. Some use it to play computer games and watch movies on the Internet, and others even use it to gamble. Instead of helping them with their study, the laptops are a w
11、aste of money and time. To these students, a laptop is a luxury. It spoils them rather than benefits them.

12、View on a Minor at College In order to be more competitive in their future career, many college students choose to work on a minor besides a major. This is quite demanding in that they have to work much harder than those who choose to concentrate on their major only. However, I think it is quite rew
13、arding to have a minor on the side. You may argue that it is only sensible to concentrate on ones major and work hard in quest of excellence. It is true for students who have a low level of aptitude and are doing poorly in their own major. To them, a minor would only mean a distraction and affect th
14、eir performance in their major. But considering the severe employment situation in the present job market, walking with two legs is always better. The reason for this is quite obvious. If a student works solely on a major, he or she is confined to the same field of learning for a career. But if a st
15、udent could manage to work on a minor on the side, it would definitely make a difference. Despite the extra work required of the minor, those who choose to have a minor could have one more chance for their employment compared to those who dont choose one, for they can not only learn more but also ca
16、n be more competitive in their future hunting for jobs. In conclusion, a minor for college students is demanding but rewarding as far as the factor of future employment is concerned. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 3 【正确答案】 The Best Way to Keep a Harmonious Relationship in Dormitory When we mention the phrase “
17、dormitory life“ , a vision of wild parties and loud music probably pops into our mind. It is true that the dormitory relationship can easily run into trouble, confusion and tension for all kinds of reasons. But is there anything we can do to solve this problem? For me, the best way is communication.
18、 Communication is vital to any relationship, especially to the dormitory relationship. Students sharing the same dorm come from different family backgrounds and thus have different life styles, habits and characters. Without communication, misunderstanding will be frequent and unavoidable. In the pr
19、actice of communication, roommates should, first of all, share openly their expectations on issues, such as cleanliness, visitation, music, study time and lights out, before they have problems and get out of control. Once common understanding has been reached, we get the guide for our everyday condu
20、ct. Furthermore, it may be necessary to make adjustments as new issues may constantly arise in the future life. Therefore, continuous communication is by all means necessary for us to avoid possible misunderstanding or conflicts. In conclusion, we may be able to enjoy a harmonious dormitory relation
21、ship by means of communication, and in this case the dormitory may become our second sweet home away from home. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 4 【正确答案】 Will Computers Replace Teachers? The information and computer technologies have boosted the efficiency and convenience of peoples work and study. Their applicat
22、ion in school education has provided teachers and students with new approaches to knowledge and information. But however useful computers are, they are still integrated into the teaching curriculum as instrumental teaching aid. They have to follow instructions designed by man and cannot play the rol
23、e of human brain. So it is impossible for computers to replace teachers. I admit that computers benefit students in many ways, they can do their assignments with the help of appropriate software. They also access the Internet for research and entertainment. But as Spencer said, “ education has for i
24、ts object the formation of character. “ This is also the essence of the quality-oriented education advocated by our government. It aims at producing well-rounded students but only developing their ability to perform well on academic examinations. We need students who can think creatively, not cut an
25、d paste their essays out of software encyclopedia. We need students who can tell truth from lies, not download unedited trivia from the Internet. We need students who can communicate face-to-face with others, not hide behind emails. These are the very aspects where teachers can provide help and guid
26、ance. So teachers neednt fear they would be replaced by computers. Instead, they should worry that if they did not adopt new technology, they would become outdated. Faced with the challenge of modern technology, what they should do is to change their attitudes. By learning and using this progressive
27、 approach, they can make their teaching more interactive and effective. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION 5 【正确答案】 Graduation, Synonym of Unemployment?

28、es and casts the graduates into a sea of melancholy. Quite a lot of students worry about their future, which has caught the societys great attention. No doubt todays labor market is not what it was years ago. We must have a clear understanding of the changes in the situation and make a corresponding
29、 shift of our psychology and expectation. Theres no job that is valueless and neither rhyme nor reason. With a sober mind we start our career and a great pickup is waiting for us. God helps those who help themselves. There are plenty of opportunities in our society, but only those who are prepared a
30、dequately and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purposes. Chance favors the minds that are prepared. Somewhere under the stars, God has a job for us to do, and nobody else can do it and its really worthwhile and it pays off. Some of us must find our place by trial and error. It can take time, with dead ends along the way. But we should not get discouraged just because others seem more skilled. Usually its not raw talent but drive that makes the difference. We must be the master of our fate and captain of our career ship. 【知识模块】 COMPOSITION
