Recently, there is a controversial policy published by Chinese government says that will raise the retirement age gradually to 65, which is 5 and 10 years longer than the current ages for men and women. This news is being the hot topic on internet.
Why would this happen? Most people assumed that it is because of the aging problem. Since last 80’s, the population and family planning had been carried out, all family was allowed to have one child to have the population of China controlled. It did work for 2 decades, but as the first “only children” have been growing up, their parents growing old, and the aging problem is becoming increasingly evident. There is not enough people of young generation support the old, therefore, the problem of burden of the social insurance and the medical insurance is getting worse. So this raising the retirement age is needed in this situation.
However, this may not be the best answer to the problem. Raising the retirement age will require the old people would be still doing their job, the young generation would be jobless since they were occupied by those aged, and it will certainly increase many other social problems.
Anyway, I think the government should have other plans to prevent the problem getting worse. Such as encourage people to buy commercial insurance, promote the medical reform, not just raise the retirement age.
As been popular in young people’s daily life, the social network service have influenced not only the ways we are socializing but also the culture and the tradition of the country.
自从社交网络在年轻人的生活里变得普遍,它不但影响了我们社交的方式,也影响了这个国家的文化和传统。
Take the spring festival as an example, traditionally, in the evening of the Chinese New Year eve, the whole family usually would have a reunion meal. Many of the family members are not really be at home quite often spending time with others especially with their old parents, so this reunion meal is very important for every family to have a chance to talk, enjoy the together time. But today all has changed. The most common look of the reunion meal now is that all young people eat quietly meanwhile the eyes are staring at their cell phone, checking out their “Friend Circle” to see if anyone update the status. They only make sounds when someone grab a red envelop with very lousy money in it. The old parents feel awkward when facing this weird situation, no one would even like to talk to them, the reunion meal turns out that there is just a bunch of strange people eating at the same table.
And the TV shows are pushing this more far ahead. They will set some interactive sessions to encourage people use the social network service on their cell phone to get some bonus. So even TV time people still stick to their cell phone and have no word for others sitting around. Seems like the social network service is completely replace the normal communication offline. That will obviously ruin the relationship with family.
I wouldn’t say the social network service is all bad, but somehow, I prefer to communicate face to face with someone I really care.
我不是说社交网络有什么不好,但是我想我更喜欢跟我在乎的人面对面进行交流。
When students go to college, they are much free than before and can have time to do what they want. Without the school’s regulation, college students can wear the fashionable clothes. As they are affected by the commercial ads, more and more college students pursue fashion. But they need to measure their situation.
On the one hand, college students have the right to pursue fashion. They are young and full of energy, it is good for them to dress out their styles. The skill to dress in different situation is the course for them to learn. They will learn how to dress in the process of pursuing fashion.
On the other hand, the crazy about fashion is not proper for them. As students, they don’t have much money, they are relying on their parents, so it is not right to spend parents’ money to pursue fashion. What’s more, students’ main duty is to study, focusing too much on fashion is not right for them.
However hard the situation is, we shouldn't lose our heart, because we have our dreams. Our dreams are always glorious. We also have enthusiasm that will make our dreams come true. But we must have the willingness to work hard, since if we work hard, some miracles will happen. Nothing good will happen without our hard work.
What's more, when we are unhappy, we can think about our dreams, so that we will be more enthusiastic. When we are defeated, we should stand up and say," I'm not a failure." Please remember, “ Anything is possible to a man who has a strong determination.”
The first day when I go to high school, I felt excited, after 9 years’ study, I felt I was so close to university, the dream always gives me motivation to move on. The first year, I made many friends, I got to know all of my classmates, though the study was hard and tedious, I shared happiness and sorrow with my friends. When the second year came, I was arranged to another class, for the need of my major. I was a little frustrated at first, because I was worried no one could talk to me, but I made new friends quickly, sometimes I would keep in touch with my old friends. Now the last year has come, I must study hard, I will go to college next year, never have I felt so close to my dream. High school life is not easy for me, for the pressure is so heavy, but I won’t give up.
