参考例文
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about a recent discussion our class have had on whether or not university students should be financially independent.
60% of the students think that university students don’t have to be financially independent, because trying to make money will affect their studies. They also think that they can repay their parents in the future.
25% of my classmates hold the view that doing part-time jobs will help one gain work experience and learn more of society. Besides, when students find it hard to make money, they won’t waste their money any longer.
15% of the students, including myself, partly agree with the opinions above. Personally I think that as grownups, we should not depend on our parents any more. However, if our parents can afford to pay the tuition for us, we should put our studies in the first place.
Thank you for reading my letter.

Stated-owned business or Joint venture
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice,which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that there is no better way to get a decent job than working in a stated-owned business which will guarantee my life after retirement, but others take the attitude that a joint venture outweighs any other jobs as it may provide higher income for employees.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view. A joint venture, especially a high-salary joint venture, exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. Although it might be impossible to make sure my retirement pension is good enough, high-salary is exactly what I need just now. In my view, our career choices largely depend on where we want to stay for the rest of life. For me, metropolis is the place where I can grasp loads of opportunities and achieve my personal dreams. As I hold the view that live in the moment, not the future, and also in order to finance myself in some aspects such as the transportation, the house-renting, or social activities, a joint venture can satisfy my needs for the consumption I mentioned above.
In short, a joint venture is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.

Study abroad or at home
With the rapid development of science and technology, much more people plan to study abroad than before. They are the students who are from colleges and universities, from the middle schools, from the primary schools, or from all walks of life. However, what difference does it make between studying abroad and studying home?
I believe studying home is preferable though many students are enthusiastic about studying abroad to pursue their higher education. On the one hand, you don’t have to take foreign language tests such as TOEFL or GRE. This can save you a tremendous amount of time, money and effort, allowing you to put much energy into to your academic field. In addition, if you study at home, you can stay with your family and old friends. Meanwhile, while studying at home, you can enjoy the intimate friendship and comfortable family atmosphere which you can only dream of in a foreign university, where you will be accompanied by your own shadow most of the time. For these reasons, it is more realistic and sensible to pursue one’s higher education at home than studying abroad.
In a word, compared with studying abroad, I prefer to study at home. For one thing, it saves money for my family, and relieves the pressure of my parents. For another, studying at home may make me better than studying abroad, if I go to a terrible school abroad.

Is Becoming Rich the Only Goal of Life?
As the saying goes, "Money makes the mare go." Living in the contemporary society, more and more people are becoming money-oriented whether voluntarily or reluctantly. Sometimes, they should be reminded that becoming rich is not the only purpose of life.
If one spends all his life pursuing nothing but money, he might live in a big house and drive a luxury car when he gets old. However, a person's material need is within limits. One cannot live in two houses and drive two cars at the same time. Neither should one take in two persons' amount of food. Besides, people's desire and ambition to make money could be infinite. More of money doesn't always make us happier. More of Money tends to make us used to that money and desirous of having even more of that.
Therefore, we should look around and find other goals of life. For example, one can live a meaningful life by discovering his gift and making the best of it. One can also live a happy life by making more friends and building a joyful family.

Buying or Borrowing Books?
Books can arm us with knowledge and information we need to make success of life. There are generally two ways in which we can have access to books: borrowing or buying. While millions are borrowing books, I still think buying them best suits me and gives me the greatest pleasure.
Many people choose to borrow books. For one thing, borrowing books can save us huge amounts of money. For another, if we borrow books from the library or friends, we normally have deadline to finish them. And consequently we can read more books in a limited time, just as a famous Chinese saying goes, “books can not be read unless borrowed.”
I believe that advantages for buying books are more obvious and compelling. Firstly, we can keep the books as long as we wish. Secondly, we can take whatever notes on the margin of the pages of the books. Finally, the process of selecting and keeping books can be a great fun.

Lectures and Discussions
There is a heated debate over the role of lectures and discussions in the classroom. Some people believe that lectures can help students learn more quickly. In contrast, others hold that discussions can stimulate students to learn by themselves.
Those who hold the first opinion suggest that students attend more lectures. In their view, by giving lectures teachers help students master the knowledge they‘ve accumulated over years of study and research. However, others think that in a discussion, the teacher usually guides the students instead of dominating them. They argue that to get involved in a discussion, students have to develop their ability to analyze problems independently.
In my opinion, I stand on the side of neither idea. First of all, either method has its disadvantages. Furthermore, each student has his or her preference. Thirdly, lectures ate preferable to discussions in the teaching of science subjects, and on the contrary, discussions are preferable to lectures in studying the humanities. Therefore, we should adopt different teaching methods according to different subjects.
"Playing a Game IsFun Only When You Win." Do You Agree or Disagree with This Statement ?
Some people argue that athletes, while playing games,should adhere to the principle "Friendship first, competition second, "and that that is the true sportsmanship.
Personally, I disagree with this point of view. There is no denying that competitors should be friendly with each other.However, the primary concern of every player, after hard training for a year or two, is to win the game. His/Her sole motivation, either during the training or in the race, is prompted by a looming hope and a prospective championship. Be it a chess game or a competition of weight-lifting or a race of a hundred-metre dash, the case is always true. If he/she wins the game, high rewards, flowers and honour will pile upon him/her. If he/she loses once or twice, he/she will become less courageous for the third time. However, several losses may beat him/her down, and his/her next hattie, if he/she is daring to fight, will probably be a fiasco.
So, in my mind, the fun or happiness of playing a game lies in the athlete’s ultimate achievement of the goal.We all know Napoleon’s famous saying that a soldier who does not have the ambition to become a marshal is not a real soldier.I agree that an unambitious athlete is not a real athlete.
