why?3. agree or disagree: there is nothing that young people could teach old people.4. should pets be allowed in university dormitories?5. agree or disagree: museums should be made free.in my eyes, museums of course should be made free. we know that, as a part of culture, museums restore many culture relics. these are typical symbols for a certain times. as a citizen of our country, it is necessary and natural to learn our past history. recent years, more and more museums are open free to the public. i couldnt agree more with it. free museum will greatly motivate all kinds of people to approach. whats more, in this fast developing age, museums have many new and advanced invents inside. it will be a wonderful place for people who want to learn more. parents can often take their children to museums to learn about history and some technical knowledge. in a word, i think government should try to make more museums free for citizens.6. agree or disagree: zoos should be banned.nowadays, lots of people start to realize that zoos are not a good place for animals. people need zoos because it is an easy way to close the animals and also because its convenient for people to observe them. however, zoos are in fact a cruel place for animals. animals should live in their natural habitat. an animals natural instinct is to run and to hunt. but thats not for animals kept in zoos. everyday, people feed them. theyve never been taught how to hunt for food and will gradually lose their natures. that will be quite cruel for a animal, especially for wild animals such as tigers and lions. you can often find in zoos that a tiger kept in cage has a loose expression in its face.we set animals in zoos and therefore feel that they wont meet danger and may be able to protect them from dying out. this may be just a excuse we find for ourselves to make animals in cages just as entertainment. we always say animals are our friends, then why we put our friends in cages?7. agree or disagree: advertising aiming at children should be restricted.i disagree. its fair to advertize to children even children are always said to be unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, between entertainment and advertising. a supposed consequence of advertising is that children are being persuaded to demand things that they dont need and to adopt consumerist values and attitudes in their formative years. however, its up to the parents to determine what should and shouldnt be bought for their children. children need to know how to see these ads and realize how a certain product would affect them and thus balance out the pros and cons and see if its in their best interest. in my opinion, the parents as well as the world need to stop babying children and let them learn lessons for life, because certain things cant be restricted well. temptation is always at childrens side. they have to learn to resist and make responsible decisions.8. agree or disagree: junk food should be taxed.cost and gain more profit. so, its reasonable to tax them.9. agree or disagree: universities should abolish the practice of cutting off the electricity at dormitory at night.i agree with it. as a student, i should say, university shouldnt cut off electricity at dormitory at night. the original intention for university to cut off electricity is to ensure our rest for some students will stay up very late if there is nothing to limit them. however, these students are minority. most students have regular timetable. whats more, we are now already in university, i think we shouldnt be treated like high school students any longer. especially in summer hot days, no electricity at night would be a nightmare to all students. we cant fall asleep without electric fans. i cant just imagine that. universities should think more for their students and trust their self-control.10. some say music training in college is unnecessary, while others do not believe so. what is your opinion on this issue?11. some people like to do only what they already do well. other people prefer to try new things and take risks. which do you prefer?12. some say military training at college is necessary while other disagree. whats your point of view on this subject? why?i think military training at college is necessary. nowadays, many undergraduates are lacking in self-control and discipline. the military training is quite useful in this case. we know that military training is very strict. during the training, we learn to obey the disciplines and keep high13. what qualities do you think a friend should have to continue the friendship? use specific reasons to support your idea.14. some people say college degree begins to lose shining while others do not think so. whats your point of view on this subject? why?its not an easy question. on the whole, i think, college degree do begin to lose shining but we should never think it unimportant.15. some say growing up in rich family promotes childrens personality and character. some think otherwise. whats your opinion? why?not like that. subjectively speaking, poor children are easy to feel inferior and thus cant study well. even if they study well, they hardly do well in practicing ability. objectively speaking, poor children can hardly receive good and plentiful education because of the economic limit. that will cause deficiency in some literal or artistic talent such as music or dance. therefore, i think childrens personality have little relation to their family situation.16. in universities, students should take history courses no matter what field they study. do you agree?i disagree with it even though i do know history is important. im a student major in electricity. to be honest, i think there is little sense for students in university taking history courses no matter what field they study. maybe many people would say, history is something left by our ancestors, so we shouldnt forget it. yes, i agree with that. history need to be remembered. but in fact, we have been learning history from primary school. i really its enough for people like me whose major has little relation to history. i just take history exam last year. for me, it was really a nightmare. i spent so much time on it and still cant remember all. now that weve chosen engineering, i cant understand why we need and have to learn history again. the time spent on history learning should be used for our major courses.17. agree or not agree: the next twenty years from now on, students will not use printed books any more.18. agree or not agree: working together is better than working alone.2011-2012 2011111527 3011211840221112125gavin1. a bcde fg2. 3.
