Attending TV PK Shows Does No Good to Young People
Nowadays TV PK shows are great hits in China and have attracted many young people. Some youngsters even give up their studies to attend these shows in the hope of becoming famous overnight. Some people think these shows provide young people more chance to show talents， while others believe that attending these shows does no good to the young people. As for me， I prefer to the latter opinion.
It should be admitted that some young people like Li Yuchun has stood out from the numerous attendants in the PK show， but that doesn"t mean attending the PK shows is a good way to become successful for young people. The following reasons can support my view. Firstly， TV PK shows breed restlessness and induce young people to hunt after fame at whatever cost. Secondly， TV PK shows can subvert the youngsters" values. They think attending the PK shows is a shortcut to the success， so they may despise the way of achieving success by hard work. Finally， if the young people fail in these shows， they will suffer a psychological unbalance.
In a word， entering for TV PK shows is not a good way for young people to make a success. I suggest young people should think twice before deciding to attend PK shows.

My Idea of a University Arts Festival
University arts festival has always been a big occasion to display students" talent in art as well as to cultivate their artistic taste. Therefore， to make the incoming arts festival more fruitful， I personally think it should include two parts： one is to organize some art activities among students such as singing， painting， photography， recitation or short play contests， and the other is to invite all kinds of art troupes to campus to stage excellent performances of ballet， orchestra or drama for our students.
As regards why university arts festival should be organized in this way， there are mainly two reasons： to develop students" artistic potential and to enhance their aesthetic ability. By participating in art contests， students not only have a golden opportunity to show their special gift for art but also undergo sort of training through preparation， rehearsal and competition. Thus those activities encourage students to get involved in art activities and help bring out the best of them in this aspect. Professional performance groups， on the other hand， bring students an artistic feast， which is not readily accessible to them in normal times. Such an intimate contact with real art enables students to understand art better and appreciate it properly， which will refine their artistic taste in the long run.
Since my idea of arts festival integrates training students" artistic ability with improving their aesthetic taste， I believe it will go a long way in art education， which is also the ultimate aim of university arts festival.

Dear Mark，
I have got two tickets given by a famous pop band this evening. The pop band made up of four boys comes from the United States and is on the top five most popular. It wins its fame for all the four players" amazing ability of improvisational composing. It is noted on the ticket that they will choose one from the audience and compose for him or her on a live basis. Maybe you will be the lucky dog if you go there with me. I hope you can accept my invitation and inform me no matter what your decision is.
Yours truly，Mary

Saving Money is a Good Habit
Recently the result of a survey conducted by a Beijing information company has shown that the majority of Chinese students think that saving money is a good habit while the rest prefer to use tomorrow"s money. As is seen to me， the principle of “hard work and thrift” is still at work in China， and I absolutely believe that we will profit more from saving money than from spending tomorrow"s money.
Through saving money， we"ll be better prepared for our life. There is an old saying that “a penny saved is a penny earned”. In modern society， life is so changeable that we can"t predict what will happen in the future. So we"d better get prepared for unexpected emergencies. What"s more， psychologically speaking， saving money means controlling money rather than being controlled by money， and it enables us to be freer and more independent. With the money we"ve saved， we don"t need to be too much concerned about the old age or the monthly installment that we owe to the bank.
Of course I don"t mean that we cannot loan money to buy a house or for some enjoyment. What I"m saying is that we must think twice before spending tomorrow"s money. To put it in a nutshell， I am a great believer that saving money is a good habit.
