Happiness is considered very important in our life. Why
it is difficult to define? What factors are in
achieving happiness?
It as ,een widely noted tat appiness is very important to our life. However- wat is
appiness! It seems difficult to define- for different people ave different ideas. Some
people are ,rougt up tat most important ting in teir life. Tey o,tain appiness from
see.ing fame and profit. /ter people are in pursuit of mental edification. Tey serve
people eart and soul and find appiness from it.
In my view- according to pilosopy- everyting is in process of development including
appiness. We spare no effort to acieve our goal and o,tain appiness from success.
However- after tat we ave anoter new aim to acieve. Tere is no limit to gaining
lasting appiness.
Ten ow to o,tain appiness! I tin. true appiness can ,e got in te following ways0
In te first instance- true appiness comes from ard wor.. 1 student is very appy wen
e as gotten ig score in is e2aminations. His appiness is te result of is ard and
patient study. Tus- appiness a,ounds in ard wor..
Secondly- appiness is rooted in optimistic attitude. In our daily life- we sould face a lot
of pro,lems- wic may lead to set,ac.s. If tese defeatist sentiments sei3e us- appiness
will ,e far away from us. Te only way is rigt attitude and sparing no effort to overcome
it ten you can find appiness.
Last ,ut not least- appiness comes from frugality. 4any e2ample display people
spending money wastefully for satisfaction of teir desires may suffer from poverty in te
long run. So living a simple and content life ma.es one appy and ceerful.
1ll in all- appiness is very important to our life. Te good metod to find appiness is
ma.ing our mentality and pysicality ,ot strong.
Animals were friends or foes of humanity at
diferent stages of the human history. In
modern times, experiments upon animals
have been a breeding ground for spirited
debate. Some animal rights activists argue
that we should ban animal experiments
altogether because subjecting animals to
experimentation is unwarranted on moral
grounds, whereas some other people
contend that the advancement of science
necessitates animal testing. ersonally, I am
in favor of the latter view.
5ranted- mounting empirical evidence suggests tat many animal e2periments are
performed callously witout any eed to te discomfort or pain tat la,oratory mammals
endure. 6or one ting- improper confinement of test animals suc as loc.ing tem up in
cramped cages is inumane7 and tis- in turn- can severely disrupt natural ,iological
functions of te test animal. 6or anoter- te effects of vaccination or vivisection
conducted on live mammals can ,e cilling. In e2treme cases- tey constitute seer
torture of animals.
8everteless- from a more pragmatic standpoint- evidence a,ounds tat animal su,9ects
are still an indispensa,le part of scientific researc at tis pase of uman development.
In te first place- drug e2perimentation on live mammals is- indisputa,ly- far more
effectual tan e2perimentation on ,acteria or on oter lower species in determining drug
safety. 4edical istory informs tat drugs tat can potentially e2ert grave side effects on
omo sapiens must ,e tested ,y parmaceutical companies on live mammals first to
ascertain teir to2icity. In te second place- in te realm of space researc- live animals
are still practical alternatives on a fligt not considered to ,e sufficiently safe for uman
astronauts. 1nd I would ,e ard-pressed to imagine te scenario tat uman lives sould
,e put at sta.e wen te o,9ective of a space mission is merely to identify living
creatures: reaction to outer space e2perience. Lastly- la, researc a,out te ,eavioral
tendencies of cimpan3ees- gorillas or oter mem,ers of te primate group is also a
worty endeavor- in ligt of te fact tat it generates outcomes consistently advancing
antropological and genetic sciences.
To conclude- I concede tat e2periments upon animals may induce suffering to te test
animals. However- it is generally argua,le tat tere are no practical alternatives to tis
metodology at te current stage of scientific development. /n ,alance - I am convinced
tat wat we sould do is to allow animals testing to ,e continued ,ut at te same time
use tecni;ues suc as analgesic- anestetic and tran;uili3ing drugs to minimi3e te pain
of te test animal.
eople attend college or university for many
diferent reasons. !hy do you thin" people
attend college or university#
<eople attend colleges or universities for a lot of different reasons. I ,elieve tat te tree
most common reasons are to prepare for a career- to ave new e2periences- and to
increase teir .nowledge of temselves and te world around tem.
=areer preparation is ,ecoming more and more important to young people. 6or many- tis
is te primary reason to go to college. Tey .now tat te 9o, mar.et is competitive. 1t
college- tey can learn new s.ill for careers wit a lot of opportunities. Tis means
careers- suc as information tecnology- are e2pected to need a large wor.force in te
coming years.
1lso- students go to colleges and universities to ave new e2periences. Tis often means
aving te opportunity to meet people different from tose in teir ometowns. 6or most
students- going to college is te first time tey ave ,een away form ome ,y temselves.
In addition- tis is te first time tey ave ad to ma.e decisions on teir own. 4a.ing
tese decisions increases teir .nowledge of temselves.
>esides loo.ing for self-.nowledge- people also attend a university or college to e2pand
teir .nowledge in su,9ects tey find interesting. 6or many- tis will ,e teir last cance
for a long time to learn a,out someting tat does not relate to teir career.
I would recommend tat people not ,e so focused on a career. Instead- tey sould go to
college to ave new e2periences and learn a,out temselves and te world tey live in.
Tis may ma.e tem ,etter prepared for teir future.

Some teachers say students should !e organi"ed into group study. #thers argue that
students should !e made to study alone. $iscuss the !enefits of !oth and state the
more effective method in your opinion.
Te de,ate over weter studying in group is superior to studying alone as long ,een in
;uestion and educational e2perts are deeply divided over tis issue. 6rom an o,9ective
perspective- I:m strongly convinced tat ,ot metods ave teir own superiorities.
/ne of te ma9or superiorities of group study is tat it provides an environment in wic
students can e2cange ideas wit eac oter. It is well .nown tat .nowledge .nows no
,ounds- so it is almost impossi,le for even an eminent professor at university to ave a
good command of everyting- let alone an ordinary student. In conse;uence- students
sould ,e divided into different groups or classes so tat tey can communicate wit-
learn from and elp eac oter.
1noter o,vious advantage of studying in group is tat students ave te opportunity to
learn to sociali3e wit oters. 4any sociologists point out tat people in modern society
are more isolated tan tose in ancient times mainly ,ecause tey do not ave enoug
opportunities to get alone wit oters. ?nder suc circumstances- it is unreasona,le to
deprive te students of te cance to sociali3e ,y arranging tem to study alone.
However- we sould not overloo. te fact tat studying alone also as its uni;ue merit----
effectiveness. In a ,ig class- top students migt feel ,ored ,ecause te teacer does not
give tem enoug material to learn wereas poor students migt feel 9ust te opposite
,ecause te teacer gives tem too many materials to digest. In oter words- te teacer
usually slows down te rate of progress or reduces te content of is lesson in te ligt of
students wit lower a,ility.
=omparing te ,enefits of ,ot sides- I deem group study more effective only if te class
or group is not too ,ig.

Te environmental issue is getting worse almost every day in cities wit very large

<eople consume great amount of natural resouces and produce wastes. To effectively

receiving negative comments for doing te rigt ting. Wrong as it is- suc penomenon
is widespread especially among youngsters and people wit low income and little

To sum up- people produce uge amount of gar,age and te environment is seriously

Wat can education ,ring us! Is @ig mar.A te real destiny of education! 1s
researcers and scolars are investigating tis su,9ect- te accurate definition of

Education- te ,ridge ,etween teacers and students- te mediator ,etween individual

6irst- education ,rings us ,asic .nowledge and s.ill to survive. 6rom primary scool on-

Second- education can cultivate our sentiment. 1part from academic su,9ects- art su,9ects

8owadays- international tourism is te ,iggest industry in te world. ?nfortunately-
international tourism creates tension rater tan understanding ,etween people from
different cultures. To wat e2tent do you agree or disagree!
International tourism is ,ooming0 millions of tourists go to oter countries to e2plore te
outside world. Tourism enances te mutual understanding ,etween te local people and
tourists. Some people old opposite opinions. Tey tin. tat international tourism
causes tension rater tan promoting understanding ,etween people from different
cultures.
Te people olding te latter view suppose tat tourists are li.ely to offend te local
people ,ecause of te lac. of .nowledge of te local customs- wic differ from teir
own. 4oreover- tourism inevita,ly arms te natural resources and te cultural legacy-
wic may lead to te resentment of te local people.
However- I can ardly e2tent to tis idea0 te a,ove mentioned rarely appens. In my
opinion- international tourism does encourage te understanding ,etween people from
different countries. 6or one ting- witout going to see for temselves- people may never
.now wat oter countries are really li.e and tus can ,e misled ,y earsay or films and
TC programs- wic- more often tan not- are one-sided. 6or instance- one of my
1merican friends told me tat most 1mericans ad a strange ,ias against te Dussian
people until some young 1mericans traveled to Dussia and saw wit teir own eyes tat
te Dussians are uman ,eings 9ust li.e tem. 1noter e2ample is tat- wit te
development of =inese tourism- people outside =ina start to reali3e tat =inese men
no longer ave long ,raids and =inese women:s feet are of normal si3e now. Secondly-
aving seen te fine scenery or e2perienced te ric culture of oter countries- tourists
will ave te desire to develop a good relationsip wit te locals- wic certainly
contri,utes to te understanding ,etween tem.
In conclusion- instead of causing tension- international tourism furters te understanding
of people from different countries. *2'1 words+

=ompanies sould encourage old employees *$$ years old+ to retire- in order to give
opportunities to te new generation. To wat e2tent do you agree or disagree!
8owadays- plenty of employees wo are more tan $$ years old must retire ,ecause of
company policy7 terefore- many people tin. tat te development of a company cannot
,e separated from te num,er of young employees. Te a,ove point is certainly true7 tis
essay will outline tree reasons.
Te main reason is tat plenty of young employees mean tat te company is infused
wit lots of young ,lood. Wit te development of tecnology- more and more new
tecnological products ave ,een developed. Te new generation masters advanced
tecnology and ave te energy to e2ploit. Tey ave learned lots of .nowledge in te
university7 terefore it is definitely useful for te development of companies.
1noter reason is tat old employees cannot adapt temselves to te rapid pace. /ld
employees find it difficult to learn new tings rapidly. Wit teir limited pysical
strengt- tey are not capa,le of eavy manual wor.. So old employees are not a patc on
young employees- it means not only intellect ,ut also pysical strengt.
Last ,ut not te least reason is tat old employees ave already wor.ed for more tan alf
of teir lifetime- so tey sould retire to en9oy life. Te old employees ave already paid
out too muc in order to loo. after teir families and careers. So tey sould pursue teir
o,,ies.
In conclusion- old employees souldn:t continue wor.ing for temselves. 4oreover-
advancement of society needs a new generation.

Sould ric countries elp poorer ones!
Today- te world is ,ecoming more and more closely lin.ed. Trade as increased and te
movement of people ,etween countries is greater tan ever ,efore. However- ,illions of
people still live in poverty- and in many places- te gap ,etween ric and poor is
widening. Tis essay will loo. at te arguments for and against elping poor countries.
Tere are many reasons for elping poor countries. 6irst of all- tere are umanitarian
reasons. Li.e individuals wo give to carity- many countries feel it is teir religious-
social- or moral duty to elp people in oter countries wo are suffering from famine-
drougt- war- or disease. However- many ric countries also donate money for political or
diplomatic reasons. Tey want to maintain a relationsip of dependency wit te
recipient- or simply to influence te government and direction of te country. 1 furter
reason wy many countries elp poorer ones is for economic reasons. Te donors may
want to control te supply of commodities suc as oil- water- or weat. 1lternatively- te
ricer country may want to ensure mar.ets for teir own products- weter tese are
planes- computers or soes.
However- aid is not necessarily te ,est way to elp a country. 6or one ting- ,illions of
dollars of aid often goes missing- into corrupt governments or inefficient administration.
1 second point is tat many foreign aid pro9ects are unsuita,le for te target country.
4any agencies ,uild uge dams or industrial pro9ects tat fail after a few years or tat do
not involve te local people. 6urtermore- muc aid returns to te donor. Tis can ,e in
te form of e2pensive speciali3ed e;uipment and e2perts from te donor country.
Tere are many oter ways we can elp poor countries. /pening up trade ,arriers- so tat
poor countries can sell teir goods is one way. 1noter is to remove su,sidies so tat
imported goods from poorer countries can compete fairly. 1 tird metod is to forgive
de,ts. 4any poor countries ave uge interest repayments on old loans.
Te needs of te poorer countries may seem o,vious. However- altoug our umanity
ma.es us want to elp eliminate poverty and suffering- we must e2amine te real needs
of poor countries and implement solutions tat will ,enefit ,ot tem and us.

Topic0 Sould government invest poor population or i-tec researc.
Tesis0 5overnment sould invest poor population rater tan i-tec researc- for it
,etter fits long-term interest and realistic aims.
Today governments more and more intend to invest i-tec researc ,ecause it is ,elieved
tat ,etter i-tec development can pus forward a nation:s development and improve its
national strengt. However- I don:t tin. te poor population of a nation sould ,e
neglected in tis way7 instead- I tin. government sould invest te money on improving
its people:s living standard.
6irst- spea.ing of realistic aims- it is more sensi,le and practical to invest on nation:s
poor population rater tan on i-tec researc. 1s is .nown to all- nowadays i-tec
researces ave reaced a certain eigt and it is not so easy to acieve a ,rea.troug in
a sort period of time. Hi-tec researces are ,ot time-consuming and e2pensive7
especially it is a eavy ,urden for developing countries to spend so muc money on
tem. 8o matter ow advanced and developed in i-tec researc it is for a country- if its
people are living in poverty and suffering from unger ever day- I don:t tin. it wort all
te money and efforts in doing so and it won:t ,e understood and appreciated ,y te
people.
Second- wen we consider long-term interests- I tin. ma.es more sense to invest poor
population. 1 country is governed ,y its people and it needs teir contri,utions7 if we are
a,le to spend te money on ensuring poor people:s education and improving teir living
standards- te reward a country is li.ely to get is priceless. Wen cildren in poor areas
get opportunities to ,e educated- more talents are li.ely to ,e discovered and used- and
also wen poor people get enoug money to sustain teir lives- te wole nation can
develop and move forward in a safer and muc more armonious environment7 ,ot can
,ring te nation immeasura,le ,enefits.
In summary- I tin. if a government is to ma.e wise investment and create armonious
environment- it sould invest poor population instead of i-tec researc.

1ir travel- once a privilege of te wealty- as ,een gaining popularity worldwide over
te last few decades. Te num,er of people traveling ,y air as ,een growing ,y leaps
and ,ounds. Some environmentalists- owever- propose tat air travel ,e limited- on te
ground tat it may give rise to a series of pro,lems- including pollution and e2austion of
te world:s valua,le energy resources. To my mind- it does not ma.e muc sense to
restrict air travel.
Te most important and o,vious reason is tat no oter veicle can travel as fast as an
airplane. In oter words- air travel may ,e te only and easiest option wen it comes to
long-distance trips. 6or e2ample- if a student from =ina wises to go to te ?nited
States for furter studies- te only means of transportation tat could send im to te
destination is undou,tedly te plane. 1lso- for people traveling on a regular ,asis- suc as
tose engaged in transnational ,usiness- air travel would mean less time on te road. Tis
will certainly ena,le tem to ,etter prepare for teir future tas.s- suc as ,usiness
negotiations- ,ot mentally and pysically.
In addition- air travel offers te comfort tat cannot ,e found elsewere. 4ost people-
wo ave te e2perience of traveling ,y air- are ,ound to miss te snac.s and drin.s
served on ,oard- as well as te smiles on te faces of fligt attendants. In some cases- you
could even en9oy a favorite movie wile on a plane- completely unaware tat you are
undreds of tousands of feet a,ove ground.
Last ,ut not least- it is important to ,ear in mind tat air travel is simply a personal coice
and sould ,e respected. Tis clearly means tat any attempt to restrict air travel would
,e seen as a violation of uman rigts and is ,ot groundless and un9ustified.
In summary- despite te various pro,lems arising from air travel- it sould not ,e limited
or eliminated. Wat we sould do is to give full play to te function of air travel- ,y
ma2imi3ing its ,enefits wile trying to come up wit practical solutions to te e2isting
pro,lems- suc as developing fuel-efficient airplanes and alternative energy resources

In some countries -scools aim to provide a general education across a range of

=losely ne2t to my previous tougt was tat a solely-career-related education may

for providing tis assistance. State your opinion.
To ,e of assistance or not- it indeed is de,ata,le if artists deserve and re;uire funding ,y
te government. 6irstly- I ac.nowledge tat te ,enefits from artists and poets can enric
our everyday lives in so many different ways7 oterwise our life would ave ,een a lot

Wile te oter large group of artists is neiter ric nor famous- tey do continue to

would ,e ridiculous to tin. tat any .ind of financial incentives could power teir

wic fuels teir creativity- in te process tey need to mature into renowned to ,e an
artist or a writer. Wen tey do and wen teir wor. is recogni3ed- tere will not ,e any

In my opinion- it would ,e criminal to ta.e away tis very drive and sun teir

it can ,e in te way of appreciation and opportunity to present teir talent to te rest of
te world. Tis could ,e done in various ways- for instance- giving ta2 incentives to
amateur artists and writers or financial re,ates in government owned auditoriums to stage
teir presentations.
In tal.ing a,out artists in 1ustralia- wic as a concrete social security system in place

/n te oter and- as a =inese- my perception of te government:s assistance is more

To construct and maintain roads is a pu,lic service administered ,y te government.

tat te roads are constructed for people- so every ta2-payer as te responsi,ility for

To te first opinion- since government is te administrative organ- it as
responsi,ility to do overall plan on tose pu,lic services of city construction- including
constructing te road. Tey tin. tat te government sould do plan and allocate every
penny on all tings concerning peopleBs life.
However in reality- te government cannot do all specific plans and money

1ir travel- once a privilege of te wealty- as ,een gaining popularity worldwide over
te last few decades. Te num,er of people traveling ,y air as ,een growing ,y leaps
and ,ounds. Some environmentalists- owever- propose tat air travel ,e limited- on te
ground tat it may give rise to a series of pro,lems- including pollution and e2austion of
te world:s valua,le energy resources. To my mind- it does not ma.e muc sense to
restrict air travel.
Te most important and o,vious reason is tat no oter veicle can travel as fast as an
airplane. In oter words- air travel may ,e te only and easiest option wen it comes to
long-distance trips. 6or e2ample- if a student from =ina wises to go to te ?nited
States for furter studies- te only means of transportation tat could send im to te
destination is undou,tedly te plane. 1lso- for people traveling on a regular ,asis- suc as
tose engaged in transnational ,usiness- air travel would mean less time on te road. Tis
will certainly ena,le tem to ,etter prepare for teir future tas.s- suc as ,usiness
negotiations- ,ot mentally and pysically.
In addition- air travel offers te comfort tat cannot ,e found elsewere. 4ost people-

could even en9oy a favorite movie wile on a plane- completely unaware tat you are
undreds of tousands of feet a,ove ground.
Last ,ut not least- it is important to ,ear in mind tat air travel is simply a personal coice
and sould ,e respected. Tis clearly means tat any attempt to restrict air travel would
,e seen as a violation of uman rigts and is ,ot groundless and un9ustified.
In summary- despite te various pro,lems arising from air travel- it sould not ,e limited
or eliminated. Wat we sould do is to give full play to te function of air travel- ,y

of oters! incapacity of understanding. In tis way- pupils could progress in teir

However- te presence of a teacer is essential for students ,ecause te uman contact

importance of studying in group and respect oter students- wic elps tem to improve

4oreover- teacers are re;uired in te learning process ,ecause tey ac.nowledge some
student:s deficiencies and elp tem to solve teir pro,lems ,y repeating te same
e2planation- giving e2tra e2ercises or even suggesting a private tutor. Hence- students can
ave a ,igger cance not to fail in a su,9ect.
In conclusion- te role for teacers in te learning process is still very important and it

1n argument occasionally tese days is tat some people often tin. macine translation
can ta.e place of te cildrenBs study of a foreign language. 1s far as I am concerned- I
canBt totally agree wit tis opinion.
It first comes to te point tat macine translation is not ig efficiency. Te uman
language is so comple2 tat nowadays no suc macine can translate one language to
anoter sufficiently and totally. Te macine can only provide some words or pieces of
alf-,a.ed sentences. So we uman ,eings- especially cildren- may not rely on tis .ind
of macine- at least recently.
/n te oter and- if te real macine tat te wole sentence can ,e translated
completely turn to reality- cildren sould not ,e taugt not study a foreign
language. Te reason is te language *especially spea.ing+ is made up of not only te
grammar and words ,ut also tones and mood. 1nd wen cildren are studying a
language- e is not discovering an un.nown area- ,ut wild is logic and ideation.
1dditionally- even if te macine will ,e out of wor. one day occasionally in future- e
can tal. wit oter foreigners freely.
6ran.ly- te loss of language sensitivity is muc popular tese days. 4any peopleBs
spea.ing and grammar is terri,le. =ildren often study wrong spea.ing from annoying
TC programs and untrained ,roadcasters. Te invention of translation macine will ma.e
it worse. Te pro,lem weter to teac te ,oys and girls foreign languages or not needs
to ,e treated seriously.
In a word- in modern society te translation macine is stealing our sensitivity of te
language. <eople sould do someting to prevent te loss of language a,ility- especially
in te cildood.

Individual greed and selfisness as ,een te ,asis of te modern society. Someone tin.
tat we must return to te olds- more traditional values of respect for te family and te
local community in order to create a ,etter world to live in. To wat e2tent do you agree
or disagree!
We are in a selfis world today. We are so ,usy loo.ing out for num,er one- so saturated
,y our own pro,lems- our own issues and our own little and often petty concerns tat we
failed to see ow all could grow and ,eing ,enefited ,y wor.ing togeter as a team. 1s
far as I am concerned- te reason of te individual greed and selfisness were actually
caused ,y te faster and faster development and more and more competition of te
society.
Some people yearn to return to te old and traditional values of respect for te family and
te local community in order to create a ,etter world to live in. 1ccording to tem -
people were more onest and warm-earted and te manner of traditional treating eac
oter was simple and selfless in te past.
<ersonally- I do not support tis view . Even in te past- greed and selfisness e2isted in
our society. Tese two factors never disappeared since uman ave instinctive material
needs- individual wants and desires would swell surely wit te advances of life and
society. 4oreover- old tradition as its own limit and could only adapt for a certain
period. I ,elieve tat te .ey point ere is to create a ,etter world is te way of
formulating moral criteria and improving te spiritual education. 6or e2ample- religions
play a significant role in respect for te family and te community.
To sum up- selfisness and greed cannot ,e avoided and eliminated- ,ecause tey e2ist-
more or less- in everyone:s eart- even sometimes tey contri,ute to te prosperity. To
control tem depends on te well ,asic education from every part of our society- suc as
family- communities- academic institutions- etc.

Tere is noting unusual a,out energy li.e coals and oils ,eing consumed- principally
,ecause economic development depends on natural resources all te time. >ut wat is
appening today is e2traordinary 9udged ,y te standards of te past. It is energy
depletion on a massive scale and tis pro,lem is so .notty tat sould deserve our closer
eed.
1mongst te diverse factors contri,uting to te energy crises around te world-
government:s sort-sigted policies and citi3ens: e2travagant use of automo,iles are
pro,a,ly te two most significant ones. >y presuming on teir natural resources- ;uite a

gain an edge over teir rivals. 1dmittedly- teir intensive use of te energy facilitates- to
some e2tent- te developments of oter industries in sort term. 1dditionally- te amount
of private cars increases at suc a ,rea.nec. speed tat te petroleum used amounts to an
intimidating proportion of te natural resources.
Te conse;uences are undou,tedly disastrous for uman ,eings. 1ltoug countries

development can never come into true in tis situation- meaning tat our descendants can
,enefit noting e2cept sterile land and polluted air and water from teir ancestors.
Terefore- our government must ta.e serious steps to attac. tose pro,lems. Te first
and foremost is tat governments ave to reverse teir mindset and no longer deem te
growt of 5G< teir first goal. Dater- te ,etterment of citi3ens: ;uality of life sould

sould ,e discouraged ,y autorities- wo must soulder te responsi,ility of improving
pu,lic transportation in order to facilitate people as well as release te ,urden of energy

In conclusion- to avoid te prase @filty ricA added to temselves- countries must

8owadays- international tourism is te ,iggest industry in te world. ?nfortunately-
international tourism creates tension rater tan understanding ,etween people from
different cultures. To wat e2tent do you agree or disagree!
International tourism is ,ooming0 millions of tourists go to oter countries to e2plore te
outside world. Tourism enances te mutual understanding ,etween te local people and
tourists. Some people old opposite opinions. Tey tin. tat international tourism
causes tension rater tan promoting understanding ,etween people from different
cultures.
Te people olding te latter view suppose tat tourists are li.ely to offend te local
people ,ecause of te lac. of .nowledge of te local customs- wic differ from teir
own. 4oreover- tourism inevita,ly arms te natural resources and te cultural legacy-
wic may lead to te resentment of te local people.
However- I can ardly assent to tis idea0 te a,ove mentioned rarely appens. In my
opinion- international tourism does encourage te understanding ,etween people from
different countries. 6or one ting- witout going to see for temselves- people may never
.now wat oter countries are really li.e and tus can ,e misled ,y earsay or films and
TC programs- wic- more often tan not- are one-sided. 6or instance- one of my
1merican friends told me tat most 1mericans ad a strange ,ias against te Dussian
people until some young 1mericans traveled to Dussia and saw wit teir own eyes tat
te Dussians are uman ,eings 9ust li.e tem. 1noter e2ample is tat- wit te
development of =inese tourism- people outside =ina start to reali3e tat =inese men
no longer ave long ,raids and =inese women:s feet are of normal si3e now. Secondly-
aving seen te fine scenery or e2perienced te ric culture of oter countries- tourists
will ave te desire to develop a good relationsip wit te locals- wic certainly
contri,utes to te understanding ,etween tem.
In conclusion- instead of causing tension- international tourism furters te understanding
of people from different countries. *2'1 words+

8opular events li+e the foot!all World 9up and other international sporting

Te /lympic 5ames are one of te ,est e2amples wic prove ow sporting events can

tese popular events ave called te world:s attention to te terri,le conse;uences of
wars7 tus some leaders ave tried to accept agreements to end teir dispute and live
peacefully.
Similarly- international sporting events sow ,enefits in some developing countries
wic live in a daily internal civil war. 6or e2ample- >ra3il as a ig rate of
unemployment- lac. of education- unger- crime- poverty and corruption wic leads to
an immense em,arrassment of ,eing >ra3ilian and a low self-esteem. However- wen te
6oot,all World =up starts- te >ra3ilian s;uad- wic is considered te ,est team in te
world- provo.es an ama3ing feeling of pride in teir country. 4ost people seem to forget
all teir pro,lems and even te criminal activity decreases. Tey paint roads wit te
national colors- use wear te >ra3ilian team sirt and ,uy national flags. 4oreover- te
competition ,rings families and neig,ors togeter and even rival gangs watc te games
and cele,rate peacefully.
In conclusion- popular sporting events play an important role in decreasing international
tensions and li,erating patriotic feelings as History as sown.
