Travel alone or travel with a companion

When it comes to a traveling way, different people will offer different opinions.

Some people like to travel alone, while others prefer to travel with a companion. Of course every one has different considerations for his preference. Traveling alone one can enjoy more freedom. The traveler can arrange his tour as he wishes. Without the trouble of compromising with others. Morever, traveling alone tends to bring the traveler unexpected surprises, such as making a new friend and enjoying different scenery.

Compared with traveling alone, traveling with a companion has also its advantages. For one thing the group members can help and look after each other on the journey. For another traveling with others who have the same interest as you, you can share experiences and pleasure with them.

As for me, I prefer to travel with a companion. Firstly, we can together deal with the possible problems and difficulties on the journey. Secondly, I like to share the experience of traveling with others. In summary, both traveling alone and traveling with a companion have their own attractions and you can enjoy the pleasure of traveling from either one.

I like to read the travel books so much. I can see all kinds of beautiful scenery. Reading someone else’s story makes me feel so excited, I want to be part of them, just take a bag and then go out for travel. So I must learn to be independent, when I grow up, I can travel alone, appreciating the different scenery.

Living alone or Living with Roommates

Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live off campus or live together with other roommates in the students' dormitory. Opinions vary from person to person.

Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person's experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to each other. Moreover，by learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the sense of belonging. Besides, live in a dorm can help save a large sum of money. last but not least，living on campus can help me save a great deal of time on the way between dwelling and school, which means that I can concentrate more time and energy on my studies.

I think nearly everyone likes traveling. Sometimes we will travel with our friends or families, but sometimes we will travel alone. I believe different ways for traveling will have different feelings. And I prefer travelling alone. Travelling alone is more excited. Just imagine, you go to a beautiful place, but you have never gone there before, so you have to deal all the things by yourself. It is very adventure, right? In addition, travelling alone can avoid many conflicts that will have when travelling in group. Last, watching the same scenery by yourself or with many people will have different feelings. Therefore, sometimes you can think about traveling alone. It is good.

我觉得几乎每个人都喜欢旅行。有时我们会与我们的朋友或家人一起去旅行，但有时我们会独自旅行。我相信不同的旅行方式，会有不一样的感受。我喜欢独自旅行。独自旅行更刺激。想象一下，你去一个你从来没去过的美丽的地方，所有的事情你都得自己处理。很有冒险的感觉，是吗？此外，独自旅行也可以避免很多多人旅行时会碰到的冲突。最后，同一片景色，一个人看和大家一起看的感受也是不一样的。所有，有时候你也可以考虑下独自旅行,是挺好的。

As we all know,the Internet plays an important role in our life every day.There is not doubt that it makes the short distance between us.But with it's use more and more widely,the online contact has aroused considerable public attention.Although it's convenient for us chat with friends frequently online,it also makes us lonelier and lacks communication in real life.In my view,we become more alone while we chat with friends on the Internet.First,sometime we communicate with people,who we don't know,on the Internet.As soon as we leave the internet,communication will be lost. We spend too much time on the machine, but it prevents us from meeting new people in real life.Second,it has an obvious problem that we had fun talking on the phone,but we had nothing to say in real life.Third,Lonely people spend more time on the Internet.Because they feel isolated from society,they are eager to get sense of existence from online communication.Often time goes on, they become lonelier even suicide.All in all,we need to make fair use of Internet communication.We communicate with our friends and families instead of sending messages use mobile phones.When we are unhappy, we should choose to talk to our friends.Not only does it make you feel happy, but it also adds friendship.

I took my school report and came back home cautiously only to find mother wasnt at home. She went to my aunts and wou!d come back in the evcning. I knew that fiom a note on the table. I was still a little bit frightened as if mother would come back suddenly.

Seeing the low marks on the school report and remcmbering mothers cold face, I almost trembled with fear. lf mother know I got so low marks oa the subjects, especially English, she would tear all my cartoon books which are my fovourite. I have been treating them as my own life for a long time. But mother always thought cartoon diverted my attention from study and had a bad effect on me. Frankly speaking, I had realized it. Mother hated those books. She had warned me if I got low marks once more she would get rid of them. I Still wanted to keep those books even if I would mever touch them from then on. What should I do? I knew that any persuation was in vain. I would prevent mother from doing that.

A good idea stroke me. I gathered all the books and put them in a box. Then, I hid the box under my bed. Having done it carefully, I had a breathing spell.

Opening the English book, I sat at the desk and began to read. It was really the time that I learned English carefully, I thought.
