A Picnic It was a sunny day. We decided to have a picnic outside the city. In the morning, we took an early bus to Nanhui. It was quite a colorful world. there were GREen trees, orange leaves,red peach blossoms. At noon, we reached the place, we sat by the river bank and took out a lot of things, such as bread, orange juice, apples, cakes, eggs and so on. But all of a sudden, it began to rain.

21st Century: Newspapers Vs. Internet

21st Century: Newspapers Vs. Internet The advent of mass printing in the lbth century has once brought about magnificent influence to the world both socially and politically. A piece of newspaper in hand, one could be in formed of what was happening around the world even without having to get out of his armchair. Nowadays, however, the role of newspaper is being seriously challenged by the booming IT industry or world wide web, satellites, optic-cables, to name just a few. As a matter of fact, In today's world where nearly every thing starts with an "e", newspaper will be replaced by other computer based means. First of all, newspaper can never match internet in its speed. Actually, information of any kind can be transported digitally at up to 300,000,000 meters per second. In a world of efficiency, newspaper can be defeated for this reason solely. Besides, with internet, information can be transmitted 3 dimentional, which consists of sound, live show and even interaction. Whereas in the paper, only words and photographs could be presented in news stories. Therefore, the former has been made more vivid and descriptive. Last but not least, computerizing the process of information dissemination provides us with a more objective and state-of-the art point of view. Through internet, we can obtain every detail we might want to know, which was sometimes unrevealed by newspapers for this or that reason. Obviously, the more accurate the facts are, the more easily an objective opinion can be formed. In conclusion, though newspaper is still regarded as indispensable for our daily routines,it cannot match internet in many aspects.

Be Active in Class

Most Chinese students tend to be silent and reluctant to answer questions in class, let alone to raise any question. It is in fact a very bad custom for a student. We should be active in class. First of all, students should show initiative. During a class, only listening to the teacher and taking notes are not enough. We must use our heads and think along with the teacher. By answering questions, we can test our knowledge. By raising questions to the teacher, we may learn more. In addition, being active in class will strengthen our confidence. If one is too timid to answer a question in class, how can he get enough courage to take any challenge in society in the future? No opportunity waits for men, but men can grasp opportunity. The same is true of the studies in class. We will find more opportunities in class if we are active enough, and we will certainly learn more than those passive ones.
