will choose Australia as a priority country for my first foreign travel in my life.
Essay 797 Topic 156 Which country would you like to visit?
I would certainly visit Russia.
Here are my reasons.
First of all, Russia and China used to be two major communist countries in the world and
both countries learned hard lessons from following the stupid (idealistic?) revolution
theory. However, the two countries had different ways getting out of the disasters. China
took economic reform while Russia seemed to put political changes as their first priority.
Over past years, I kept hearing from Western visitors how shining was China and how
dark was Russia. I really want to see the differences, if any, myself.
Having said the above, I believe China may be leading the game in the post-communism
recovery because many Russia people are working in China while many Chinese
businessmen seem doing well in Russia.
My second reason is that I had studied Russian for 6 years in both high school and
college. Although I do not really have much Russian words left in my memory, I am still
interested in practicing Russian a little bit.
Lastly, I could even encounter my pen pal girl/lady on Red Square of Moscow! Somehow
I still have the name and address of the girl my Russian teacher assigned to me. You
never know because this is indeed a small world.
My only wish is that Russian airline would be as generous as United Airline in giving
away frequent flyer mileage bonuses.
Essay 798 Topic 156 Which country would you like to visit?
The answer of this statement depends on your own experience and life style. In my point
of view, visiting China is as necessary as, if not more necessary than, visiting any other
foreign country. So it is sagacious to visit China. There are numerous reason why I chose
to visit China, and I would explore only a few of the most important ones here.
Certainly no other reason in my decision is more crucial than the one as bellow. China is
the mother of more than a billion people, a fifth of the world`s population. You can meet
people of as many as 56 different nations. In some parts of China, you can even live with
a family for one day or more, from which you can get acquaintance with and learn more
about Chinese, who are eager to make friends with people from all over the world.
Also, it is arbitrary to judge the best choice is visiting China according to the excuse I

mentioned in the above paragraph. It is generally acknowledged that China is a nation
with a pure culture from the east, and she has a history of more than 5000 years old. Over
those years, people here have developed brilliant skills, and have build numerous great
sites, the most famous ones of which are the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, both of
which you can visit when you are in Beijing, the capital of China.
What is more, China has become more and more open to friend of other nations in the
recent years. People here would like to get more information about other countries, and
they are also eager to share their experiences with foreign friends. As a result, when you
visit China, you can acquire some important information which may be crucial for you.
Taking into account all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that when you have
the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks, to visit China is the best choice.
Essay 799 Topic 157 Computers vs. tradictional schools
As we enter the twenty-first century, the ways in which people learn are remarkably
influenced by the development of technology. Education has undergone great changes.
Many students prefer to study in a istant-education school? which operates through the
Internet, or television. Whereas there is a number of people are still enthusiastically
interested in traditional school. I prefer the later, the traditional way of learning, and in
this essay, I will discuss the beneficial influences of traditional school.
Firstly, traditional school, as a part of society, gives one preparation for his or her future
career. In the teacher`s lecture, one can learn the way adults think, talk, and react. Even
though the influence is in ones subconscious, it greatly affects his or her future life.
Scientists found that students, who often have social activities such as going to a
traditional school, are averagely more mature than those who stay home most of the time.
However if one studies at home from a computer or television, he or she does not
communicate directly to the society. The function of school was not just teach people
things they can learn on the books; school are responsible for teaching people how to
adjust to the society, which needs a complex and comprehensive education from
traditional school.
Secondly, people meet friends in traditional school. To appreciate friendship, one of the
most pleasurable and unforgettable things in our life, is important to, in the full sense of
word, a person. Moreover, the people we meet in a traditional school will probably be
those who give us a hand in the future. I remember when I got into trouble, it was my
friends who tried every efforts to help me out. Sometimes when we work on something
such as a research paper, it will be more effective and efficient if there is a friend, who
gives suggestions and ideas.
Basic to any understanding of the differences between traditional school and distant
school, which uses computer or television, is the functions of them. Traditional school
not only teaches us knowledge, it also augments the communications between students

and between students and teachers. On the contrary, distant school only teaches people
how to solve an academic problem, which is a very tiny part of our life.
Essay 800 Topic 157 Computers vs. tradictional schools
As there are improvement in technology, students may have the choice of studying at by
using computers or television or of studying at traditional schools. In my opinion, I would
prefer the second choice. There are several reasons to support my argument.
First, studying at traditional schools can help to develop students` communication skills.
As students have to communicate when doing projects and group presentations in school,
they are actually having chances to communicate with their classmates. Also,
communication skills are essential for them when they grow up and go to work.
Second, students may have more fun when they are studying at traditional schools. They
can play, talk and discuss with their friends. Learning with fun is always the best way for
learning, especially for students. Thus, studying at the traditional schools has its benefit.
Although there are people saying that studying at home by using computer or television is
a convenient way of learning and a trend in the future, I still think that learning at the
traditional schools is the best way for learning. It is because teachers know the ability of
each student well. When students have any problem, the teacher can teach them
immediately.
As a conclusion, I prefer to learn at traditional schools as it is the best way for learning.
Essay 801 Topic 157 Computers vs. tradictional schools
Nowadays computers are an important media of communication. From a simple
transaction at the bank to a research at the library, computers help us to simplify our life.
Before tellers used to use the teller machine to do transactions and librarian a cards to
find a book.
It will not surprise me if in a shortly future our kids will study at home using computers
to receive classes from a cd-rom instead of with a teacher. That will be interesting, but
kids need discipline and supervision.
Disciple, is a very important rule for anybody who wants to learn and even more for kids
who are so easy to be distracted. The teachers play an important role in the education of a
our kids. Teacher`s dedication and perseverance make our kids succeed in life.
Supervision, plays another important role in the education of our kids. Parents have to go
to work and they do not have time to supervise their kids. In addition usually parent do
not have the patience to teach or explain for example why 2+2=4. A professional, in this
case a teacher is the right person to do this job. Teachers spend 4 years in college to get

prepare to do this difficult job to educate our kids, so that they are the right people who
we can trust for the education of our kids.
Computers can play an additional role in the education of our kids as a complement of
what our kids learn in the school for example they can practice grammar, mathematics,
anatomy, etc. In fact there are already web pages that provide this kind of source with a
low cost or no cost.
In conclusion, teachers still playing an important role in our kids education and we
should be grateful that still a lot of people who want to be teachers even though they do
not have the best monetary compensation in comparison with other professions.
Essay 802 Topic 157 Computers vs. tradictional schools
Modern technology has greatly affected on a variety of aspects of human life. Computers
or television challenge the traditional ways of education by allowing us to communicate
with the people all around the world and study at home. We can easily acquire whatever
information we need and receive guidance of experts in all fields through Internet.
However, I do not think these new technology will eliminate the traditional way of
studying at schools for the following reasons.
Nowadays many young people become so addicted to television or Internet that they have
less opportunities to communicate with other people, even their family members. After
all, man is a social animal. Everyone needs to talk and exchange ideas with others in one-
way or another. It is certified by scientific researches that some young people who spend
too much time on computers may become cold to others and form an unhealthy character.
Computers or television are emotionless machines which may have a bad effect on the
development of a man`s personality if he stays too long with them.
On the other hand, a school provides the students with a better environment for study
than any other place. We can have systematic training under the guidance of qualified
teachers. We can use the various facilities to enrich our knowledge and broaden our
minds. We can have a chance to develop our skills to deal with other people by living in
the dormitories. For those who lack the ability of self-control and depend heavily on their
parents, it is particularly necessary for them to study at schools which will help them
become more independent to handle their own affairs.
Computers or television have found wide application in education for the people around
world. However, the role they play should not be overestimated. Traditional schools will
remain the main places for us to receive education.

devices such as computer or television, or studying at traditional school. If I were to
choose, I would like to study at school for the following reasons. First of all, students will
have friends at schools. It is true that everyone cannot live alone without friends, so it is
better to make friends at schools because relationships at this stage usually last for long.
Most of my best friends often are ones who I met since primary school, and this
relationship is still and stronger.
Secondly, students can consult their teachers at schools. When students do not understand
what they learnt such as English grammar, they can have teachers explain it to them
again. Apart from solving academic problems, teachers can recommend students about
their social problems such as problem with their family, problem of choosing career path,
etc. Without teachers at schools, I think it is like the ship that sails without navigator!
Last but not least, students will learn how to spend time efficiently. Students have to get
up at the exact time in order to get to schools on time, and they will familiar with time
order that schools provide such as study period, short brake, lunch. This time order will
be beneficial to them because they can adapt it at home, or at work after they graduate.
Whereas students who study at home will have problem to manage their time when they
come to the work life.
All in all, studying at conventional school still benefits students; they will have lots of
friends, they can consult their teachers about their problems, and they will spend time
efficiently. Let us these reasons works as a device for students in the future to choose in
what way they want to study.
Essay 804 Topic 158 Are celebrities opinions right?
Everyone has the right to state his opinion but only the famous people have the privilege
to be heard. Of course, it is impossible to listen to the opinions of six billion people, but
why should we listen only to those of the celebrities? The fact that you are good at sports,
acting or singing does not make you smarter than the others, does it? I do not think we
should listen to the opinion of someone simply because he is famous.
First of all, rock stars, actors, and singers usually do not have very good education or any
at all, and they cannot understand the important issues they are talking about. Very often
they have no ideas about the right solutions of political problems or specific policy in
somewhat complicated area. Albeit, some of them speak about those problems without
appropriate background and may bring about very serious dverse effects?in the political
and economical life of the society.
When celebrities talk about the important issues such as environmental problems, drug
abuse, famine, world peace in most cases they simply repeat the same old clich we have
already heard over hundred times. Moreover, they usually promise that they would do
anything to resolve these problems, even though they have no such intension. Since they
do not believe in their words how can they expect us to believe?
For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at
www.tailieuduhoc.org
Even when celebrities really help to solve an issue they seldom do it because of purely
disinterested motives. How can a star claim that she cares about the poor African children
and asks us to be generous and donate them money, when not only she have not donated
anything but she is also paid for that campaign?
In conclusion, I think we should pay more attention to those people who really have what
to say such as various experts, politicians, professors and etc., and we should restrict
celebrities only to their professional areas.
Essay 805 Topic 158 Are celebrities opinions right?
As far as I have known, I think we needn`t pay attention to the words of the famous
people.
Those famous people may have their own opinions, but let us get down to the fundament
and agree that they are not people different from us. They made themselves notable
people not because they have enough wits to win a game or do well in act. They just have
their good health or good feature and this is why they succeed. I once met a famous
actress. She has lots of fans in China, but when she talked about Lu Gou Bridge, she
didn`t know why it is well-known among Chinese people, even questioned why such a
bridge should always be talked by Chinese people. Let alone her opinion about life.
Furthermore, if they do have their own feelings about life, the famous people`s opinions
are not useful to us. We have our own experience in our life, and we can learn them from
our own experience. You may ask why cannot we learn from them then we can avoid the
problems in our life. That maybe true, but we can learn these from books, and always
books are good teachers of us, why should we bother to pay attention to those people`s
words.
More over, the famous people always give their opinions when asked by fans or
reporters. In such a hurry they cannot even think enough about the question, and they
split their words without knowing what they are speaking. In such a case, should we pay
attention to their words. Almost the most devoted fan will not agree to say `yes, sir, we
should, whatever they may speak. ` So, spare your time to do other thing more important
than listen to those nonsense.
SO I think we should not pay attention to these opinions.
Essay 806 Topic 158 Are celebrities opinions right?
When famous people such actors, athletes and rock stars give their opinions, many people
listen. Then one question may rise, should we pay attention to these opinions? I think it
depends on what kind of opinions they give, and most importantly, we should judge by
ourselves.
For more material and information, please visit TaiLieu Du Hoc at
www.tailieuduhoc.org
One reason why these people`s opinions can attract wide attention is because they are
famous. They are the idols of most people, actually they live under the public`s eyes. So
we watch what they do and listen to what they say. When they give opinions on their
profession, I think we should pay attention to these ideas. They are famous because they
are doing very well in their own career, they are the representatives for certain profession,
they have more experience about what they are doing and the ideas they give may be of
great value. For examples, the musicians know what is the best way to perform a piece of
music, the athletes know better how to have a strong body. Just like teachers know the
best way to teach students.
But under most other circumstances, these famous people are asked to give opinions on
various hot topics, including those they are not familiar with. For instance, an artist may
be asked to say something about the national defense system, it may be totally new for
him. Yes, we hear what they say, but we should make our own conclusions. Because they
are just as ordinary as we are on these aspects. We should not follow whatever they say
just because they are famous. We should listen to them when they are correct.
One word to conclude what I have said all above, listen to somebody using your own
brain, because only u yourself know what is the best for u, what is the right way to do
something.
Essay 807 Topic 159 What change that should be remembered about the twentieth
century?
There have been many changes, both technological and cultural, in the twentieth century.
I believe that one stands out about the rest advances in medical science. The changes in
medical science go together with the changes in technological and cultural areas. One can
move ahead only with the help of the others. We can see the results of medical advances
in three areas: development of vaccines and antibiotics, expanded access to health care,
and improved surgical techniques.
When medical researchers learned bow to prevent disease and stop it from spreading, the
quality of life for many people around the world improved. Today smallpox is forgotten
disease and vaccinations are no longer required. Polio is under control and the vaccine is
widely available. The development of penicillin has helped many people recover from
serious illnesses.
Although healths care is not universal even in developed countries, it is much better than
it used to be. Local clinics, visiting nurses and specialty hospitals have all improved the
health care for our communities.
If you should be unfortunate and require surgery, you are still lucky to have the surgery

today rather than even ten years ago. Now with microscopic and laser surgery, operations
are more efficient. You spend less time in the hospital and you recover faster.
I cannot think of any other change that has affected the lives of so many people. Our
health is important to all of us. We all are thankful for advances in the area of medical
science.
Essay 808 Topic 160 Complain in writing vs. complain in person
Some people prefer to complain in person while others do it in writing. Personally, I
prefer both simply because both methods are very convenient. When I want to get
something done fast and I want to express my dissatisfaction with something I will
definitely complain in person. If I get too nervous or I do not have enough time I will put
everything in writing and ambitiously await a response.
I think some people prefer to do complain in person because they do not want to wait and
they want to take an action. They want to experience the rush that fills them when they
about to start complaining. These people want to see the eyes of the ictim?and witness
personally what will follow after their complaint has been delivered. Sometimes such
people might seem a little bit impatient and rude, but complaining in person is something
these people enjoy and take a full advantage of. The downside is that most of the time,
for some individuals, it is difficult to summarize what exactly brought them there, and in
the heat of the moment, they might completely forget their goal, and possibly offend
some people that had nothing to do with it.
Putting complains in writing on the other hand allows people to think before they speak.
It is a long process and words can be changed at any given moment. Writing is the best
way to summarize a certain complaint, and for some people it is a way to communicate
and express certain dissatisfaction. It enables shy individuals to achieve something that
they would have never achieved other wise. Writing states the complaint in a clear and
calm fashion. The content of such composition strictly depends on an ability to put words
together and patience of course, since writing is something people have to deal with in
their spare time simply because it cannot be composed in one minute. The most
wonderful thing about writing is that it almost does not have disadvantages except that
people should think carefully before mailing anything.
My personal opinion is that people need both ways to express themselves. Our societies
are very different from each other, so we all need a choice to be able to complain the way
we want to. After all, complaining is a fine art and requires a lot of effort.
Essay 809 Topic 160 Complain in writing vs. complain in person
From my point of view, there is a whole art of successful complaining. Complaining can
be silly and useless, as well it can be ignored and not noticed. Therefore, I believe it
should be done in person.

First of all, the actual physical existence of a person leaves impression in one, receiving a
complain. You can show yourself as an intelligent man/woman trying to improve the
product or poor service. In most cases, it will actually lead to positive results and your
problem will be resolved. Furthermore, while you are trying to communicate your
problem you can demonstrate your actual interest in the area. Hence, a person listening to
you will take it much more seriously, than a piece of paper in the mailbox. Moreover,
while complaining in person you can fulfill your argument, while proving the point.
However, if you are trying to write the letter you might not encounter things that can be
raised during the actual argument. As well, from human nature, people usually take
things into consideration more seriously if somebody actually pushes them to do that.
While, a small powerless letter can be ignored by person, especially if it is written poorly
or the person reading it, does not care about his/her duty.
As a result, I would advise everybody to conduct their complains only in person. This
way your problem will be understood clearly and taken to consideration right away.
Therefore, if you want to reach your goal in improving any service or product do not be
lazy, just spent one hour or two to visit the place or manufacturer yourself and introduce
your complain in person two them.
Essay 810 Topic 160 Complain in writing vs. complain in person
To complain in writing do helps people to reorganize things they want to say and avoid
serious face-to-face conflicts. However, I believe that when we need to effectively
express our dissatisfaction about the poor service or terrible quality of a product, we have
to complain in person. Face-to-face complains help reduce the misunderstanding between
the shopkeepers and customers, making the communication run easily.
A terrible experience has convinced me that when we complain in person, the
shopkeepers or the salesmen would not put our opinion aside. Last year, I bought a skirt
in a little shop far away from my neighborhood. When I got home, I found out there were
several gray spots on the skirt. I was quite upset about that. So I wrote to the shopkeeper
and told him my situation. Three month went by and I did not receive any reply from
him. Finally, I decided to go to the shop again and complained to the manager in person.
Thanks to that face-to-face complication, I got my rights back a brand new skirt.
Besides, I believe that complaining in person makes communication go more smoothly.
Too often, conflicts occur when we cannot talk to people in person. Nonverbal cues and
eye contacts play essential roles in communications. Therefore, we can clearly and
correctly express things that we want to express. On the other hand, the managers or
shopkeepers can reply to us so that we will be able to understand the way they are going
to deal with the problem.
Undoubtedly, to complain in writing can work out sometimes. Nevertheless, I prefer to
complain in person because I believe that this is the best way to solve the problems

immediately and effectively. And only through this way can the both sides negotiate and
find out ways that both of them accept.
Essay 811 Topic 160 Complain in writing vs. complain in person
Modern life consists of a number of different services, without which we cannot imagine
ourselves. After paying for goods and services we expect a certain quality of them.
Therefore, in case we do not get it the way we want, we will decide to complain. By and
large, it is not a big difference in the ways of complaining, but I would prefer to do it in
person.
First of all, it is the fastest way of complaining. You do not need to write a letter, to send
it, to receive an answer and so on. On contrast, you can do everything immediately. You
can talk to a manager, explain and show what is wrong. Together you can find a fast way
of deciding your problem. Secondly, this way of complaining is simpler. You do not need
to deal with any official papers or offices. So you have less trouble and save a lot of time.
But the negative thing of it is that some people can be really rude to you and you will not
get any result from a talk, then anyway you will need to complain in writing. Besides, it
is wiser to complain in writing in case you have a very serious problem. Then all things
you do are documented and if you need it, you will be able to complain in a court.
Our world is not perfect, so there always will be things to complain about. Each case is
different, therefore it cannot exist any universal decision. To my mind you can try to talk
at first and if you do not be satisfied with it, you can always complain in writing.
Essay 812 Topic 160 Complain in writing vs. complain in person
When I need to complain about a product or service, I prefer to complain in person. I
prefer so because of the following reasons.
Suppose that I took a new cable service. After some days, it started to not working
properly. Some of the channels were not clear. Then I prefer to complain in person rather
than writing. So I would directly go to the customer service of this cable company and I
would explain about my problem. i.e. I would have the opportunity to explain my
problem precisely to the company. I would also get immediate response. I could also take
immediate actions based upon their responses. And also the serviceman would handle
with care because they would not want to lose a customer and to get bad reputation.
On the other hand, I am not interested to complain in writing because, our letter regarding
the complaint about of our product may or may not reach the company because of some
postal delays or also there would also a chance of missing our letter. I would also have to
wait for weeks or months for company`s response to my problem. There was also a
