Graduation and Moving on

　　Graduation is a time when we move on, from school to university, or out into the real world.

　　Before graduating from school, We usually have a variety of activities, like taking pictures, leaving encouraging words to one another in memory of our friendship, or giving presents to our teachers express our thanks and show respect.

　　However, I have mixed emotions about moving on.I want to stay and have more fun with my friends, but I will have to move on.Graduation means taking a step forward---moving onward and upward.Thus I can learn more and will be more skilled and experienced.

　　Graduation is coming whether we are ready or not.Let's make great efforts so that our dream will come true.

　　Different Job Outlooks

　　Nowadays university graduates have different job outlooks. For most of them, to find a job with satisfactory pay is their most important wish while majority want to be self – employed. However, a certain number of graduates are not in a hurry to hunt for jobs. They are just waiting for better chances. Toward this point of view, some experts warn that it is not wise to be just waiting. They advise that graduates should find a regular, full-time job as quickly as possible so that they can earn money to support themselves and get working experience, which will help to find a better position later. Moreover, it might be more difficult to find a satisfactory job next year.

　　Time seems to speed up as soon as the students step into their final and vital year.The college entrance examination is approaching day by day.Quite a few students have moved out from their dormitories to live in a rented room near the school to make every minute count.

　　It cannot be denied that they have their own time schedule after classes and easily concentrate on lessons alone in their small room.What’s important，with their morns taking care of them，they can spare more time for studies.However，there exist some disadvantages.For example，sometimes their minds go wandering easily without competitors round.Furthermore，a student who is left alone to study at rather an easy atmosphere tends to get distracted or even feel tired easily.

　　In spite of the fact that the dorm life is full of fun and friendship，noisy songs and shouts in the dorms after evening classes only quiet down long after the blackout at 10：30 p. m.，leading to a serious lack of sleep，I think.Worse still，they don’t make fullest use of time to study so，from my perspective.I prefer to live in the rented room.

　　Should Yuanmingyuan Be Rebuilt?

　　Yuanmingyuan, “Garden of all gardens”, was burnt and fell into ruins in 1860. Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.

　　Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing so can we see the original sight of the garden, which reflects the Chinese civilization. And it will be another place of interest for tourists. If partly rebuilt, it will provide a comparison and help us remember the history.

　　Those who disagree think it more reasonable to keep the garden like this. The ruins will remind us of the past. We should never forget the history. Other buildings like Palace Museum and Summer Palace can also be symbols of the Chinese culture, so it isn’t necessary to rebuild this garden. Some also worry that the environment will be destroyed when the construction goes on in this district.英语作文
