Grasping Opportunity

In the picture presented to us, a man lies down and waits for the opportunity to knock at his door instead of contacting it by other ways. What the picture conveys is that opportunity needs us to grasp, not to wait for.

To grasp opportunity, we should make a lot of preparation. Those who are well-prepared can seize the opportunity when it comes and achieve success. Those who remain idle all the time will be doomed to fail even if they are surrounded by opportunities. However, opportunity often comes with risks, which requires us to have the courage to meet it. The example of Pan Shiyi, a famous real estate investor, is a typical one. He ran a risk by leaving a stable job when he had a deep insight into real estate opportunities. He grasped the opportunity and finally succeeded.

Therefore, grasping opportunity is got by creating not waiting. We should get ready to turn the knob when opportunity knocks.

The Importance of Independent Thinking

In the picture, the boy worries that he cannot find his way back without the GPS, which shocks his mother. And it shows us that with the booming of information technology, various electronic products have been ubiquitous in our life, which on one hand provide great convenience for us, and on the other, gradually make lots of people lose their ability to think independently. As is known to all, independent thinking plays an important role in our life. For one thing, it stimulates people’s creativity and innovation ability, which are the progress boosters of the society. For example, by independent thinking and innovation ability, Steve Jobs has almost changed the way we communicate, entertain and live. For another, independent thinking can help us judge between right and wrong. Nowadays, the new media like weibo and weixin make information available to almost everyone. Therefore, only those who can think independently can see the world clearly.

Personally speaking, we should be less dependent on the electronic tools but use our mind more. I think independently, therefore I am independent.

Food Contamination

As is vividly shown in the picture, no sooner had a man opened a can of instant food than a devil, a symbol of potential food safety hazard, jumped out of it. He is freaked out and falls nearly to the ground.

Apparently, the picture reflects that the food safety problems are posing a great threat to the public health. Recently, more and more money-oriented manufacturers resort to illegal means to seek for profit. They betray their conscience by adding harmful food additives to make food taste delicious or cost less. As a result, many consumers are infected with severe illness after having tainted food.

Therefore, immediate measures should be taken to ensure food safety. To begin with, the government should establish a long-term surveillance system to guarantee food quality and safety. What’s more, laws and regulations should be applied to the punishment of dishonest manufacturers. Last but not least, on the part of consumers, they should realize the importance of food safety and take legal actions to defend their rights and interests.

Jobs College Graduates Want to Do

The chart has clearly revealed the differences between female and male students in their job preferences and choices after graduation.

The most desired jobs for boys, according to priority, are managers, businessmen and lawyers. Girls also like to pursue these professions, but the percentage drops considerably, compared with the great number of girls who are interested in becoming teachers.

What has brought about this result? I believe that many girls may prefer the teaching positions because they like to take care of and give guidance to the younger generation, while boys like to become managers and businessmen because they like the idea of standing up to challenges and want to prove that they have it in them to be both socially and financially successful.

The findings will definitely exert some influence on the university education in China. To better prepare the students for their future jobs, all universities and colleges in China should take into consideration students’ job preferences, when they design syllabuses and offer courses to their students.

As can be seen from the picture, the department in a store which sells nutritive products for children is surrounded by crowds of parents, making the salespeople extremely busy. In contrast, the neighboring department that sells similar products for the elderly seems rather deserted by customers. Its saleswoman feels so bored that she can not resist falling asleep.

The picture mirrors a common social phenomenon from a unique angle — people tend to care more for the next generation than the previous one. On the one hand, young couples dote on

children, most of whom are the “only children”. Parents endeavor to prepare their kids for a bright future by raising them healthily. On the other hand, young couples fail to spend time with their old parents, and some of them are even too mean to provide the old with at least a decent living environment.

I think such a trend is quite abnormal and distressing. Filial duty used to be the most highly prized virtue among the Chinese for over two thousand years. Busy as people are, the duty should not be easily shirked. Supplying our old parents with material and emotional supports is not only a repayment to them, but can also set a good example to educate the youth.

What a compelling and thought-provoking drawing it is! As is vividly depicted in the cartoon above, there is someone sinking into the water while a crowed of people are taking photos of such a scene. What impresses me most is the curious behavior of the lookers-on. Simple as the image is, the implications mirrored are apparently far-reaching.

As far as I’m concerned, two contributing factors could account for this phenomenon. On the one hand, they may fear that the person in danger may frame them up after being rescued. So they are forced to take photos as evidence. On the other hand, since there are lots of witnesses, they may hold the idea that someone else would do rather than be a pioneer in such condition.

Based on the above discussion, it is necessary that effective actions should be taken in the following way: first, we should spare no pains to build up our harmonious and trustworthy society. Second, the mutual-aid awareness should be greatly cultivated throughout the whole society. Only in this way, can the world make a difference out of indifference.

Winning Our Respect

According to the picture, we can see students sitting quietly under the supervision of their teacher. This is actually a classroom scene. One thing is however out of the ordinary. We can see a lady at the back of the room. She is holding a broom in her hand. We can tell that she is the cleaner of the school.

One thing, though, is that her presence in the class goes unnoticed not even by the teacher. This is a representative of common people who work on the average status and who help to create a beautiful and harmonious world. The people who seem to do little things are actually the very same people who make our lives worth living. The worker who gets up early in the morning to seep the city is the person who makes sure that all the working class people walk in a clean environment as they go about their work.

In brief, life goes on. Their jobs are still busy and hard. However, these common people deserve a pat in the back. They need our respect and affection.

Practice Makes Perfect

As indicated by the picture, there are two boys who want to learn how to swim but they choose different methods to achieve their goals. One is by reading, while the other by practicing. The question posed here is actually who can learn better how to swim. The question is easy to answer: the one who puts to practice what he has learnt. From the picture, we can recognize the importance of practice. This is just because “practice makes perfect.” You can only perfect what you practice but not what you theoretically know.

In school nowadays, most of the attention and effort is out towards making students book worms. All extracurricular activities are being knowingly discouraged at the indulgence of class work. Although much is acquired through much reading books, the students fail to notice the significance of the experience.

In short, application of theory in our day to day life is of importance if we want to make our lives better.

Whether It Is Necessary to Go to College

①In this picture, a man is complaining that he chose a major of arts at college, but got a Bachelor of Unemployment degree after graduation. What this thought-provoking drawing mirrors is the social phenomenon that many university students cannot find a job after graduation. Therefore, some people claim that it’s useless to go to college.②However, I believe that going to college is of great necessity in spite of the employment pressure to some extent.

③First and foremost, the great employment pressure we are facing at present is a worldwide problem, not only in China but also in many developed countries owing to the global economic

crisis. ③Secondly, although major matters much in job-hunting, what the employers value most is employees’ personality and capability, both of which can be well cultivated in college. ③Last but not least, literature and history, which can enlighten us, is the mirror of human development that cannot be rid of at any time.

④All in all, going to college may not give us a good job, but it can give us more than that. 精彩点评
