Nowadays, the computer technology develops very fast that the Internet has become more and more popular. Some students regarded it as a great helper. Because there has a lot of information on line, so you can surf the Internet for any information you need in a short time without working hard in the library. This is also very convenient to talk with others by using the Internet. Moreover, other students think that there is some information on line which is not good for students. In addition, spend too much time playing games will not only have a bad effect on their studies but also do harm for health. Therefore, we should make properly use of the Internet. It is of great important to separate good plants from wild weeds.
Many students may feel 1. (stress) because of their parents. Most parents have good intentions, 2. some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in 3. (adjust)to college, and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children’s 4. (difficulty).
For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the 5. (compete) is stronger, that the required standards of work are 6. (high), and that their children may not be prepared for 7. change. They may be upset by their children’s poor grades. At their kindest, they may8. (gentle) ask why John or Mary isn’t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten 9. (take) their children out of college or cut off living expenses.
Sometimes parents think it right and natural that they determine 10. their children do with their lives. They forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way.
I often recall those good old days. At that time life was relatively simpler, and people were much more and gentler. Recently, to my surprise, I got the opportunity to experience that same warmth that I thought had from the fast-moving world.
I was out shopping the other day with my husband, two daughters and one . It was a burning hot day, and we were all visibly tired and hungry. We entered a restaurant, looking for some and comfort. To our disappointment, all the tables were and no one seemed in a hurry to . We waited, tired and . After quite some time, one table was vacated(空出), but that could only two of us. My daughter made me sit along with her father, while she and my other daughter alongside. My granddaughter sat on my as we looked all around us, waiting for another table to be soon.
At the next table, two young girls were sitting at a table for four and enjoying their meal. We decided to move to their table, they were finished with their lunch. Since the girls had just got their , I knew it would be a wait. As we were deciding on what to eat, one of the girls got up and their table to us. She said they would move to our table so that my family could sit together.
We were very appreciative of their kind . We thanked them and moved to their table. The girls quickly their plates and glasses and went to sit at our table.
That day, I to myself there still were some kind, civil and helpful youngsters in this non-caring world, and my faith in humanity(人道) was .

Here are tips for a successful speech from a professional speechwriter:
No speech should last more than 20 minutes. 1. The Sermon on the Mount, a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus, for example, lasted hardly more than three minutes.
Focus on one topic. We’re human and tend to have lots of thoughts, opinions and ideas. You have to make proper selection. 2. Include and expand only those that explain and support your viewpoint(观点).
3. It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and understandable the first time out.
Humour is vital. 4. Ronald Reagan always wanted to joke at the start of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter. It helped him relax. It also helped the audience relax.
Don’t forget to say thanks. You should always, at the beginning of the speech, thank the person who invited you and introduced you. 5. While you’re doing it, the audience gets a chance to daydream and settle down. They’re going to daydream at some point anyway, and it may as well be before you get to the heart of your remarks.
A. Choose your words carefully.
B. And saying thanks at the beginning has a practical purpose.
C. First you have to work out what you’re going to say.
D. Every speech needs it, and you need it, too, probably at the beginning.
E. Stick to one subject－the future of the soccer club, for example.
F. This process takes time, so start once you begin thinking about the speech.
G. The more important the message is, the less time it requires to say it.
