recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep dogs at home. 60 percent of the students think it’s a good idea to keep dogs because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from their dogs. besides, getting along well with animals will make our life more interesting.
on the other hand, 40 percent of the students are against the idea. in their opinion, if too many people keep dogs at home, it will do bad to the environment. what is worse, dogs may make too much noise and even attack people. i like animals, and i don’t think it’s bad to keep dogs at home. but we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.

meeting my classmates at the bus stop outside the school at 8:00, we were all excited about going on our school trip. the clear and sunny weather added to what we thought would be a great experience at the exhibition of the developments of science and technology.
when we arrived at the exhibition center it felt like every school and college student in the city was there. i was most excited to see the robots. it reminded me of a science fiction movie with all the modern technology, especially the new multifunction cell phones. they were so small i couldn’t believe that anyone could talk through them.
before we left i bought a book on robots from the bookstore. for lunch the whole class went to the new fast-food restaurant next to the exhibition center. i couldn’t wait to get back to school in the afternoon to write about where we had been. now that i have seen the technology of the future i know i must work hard so that i can be part of it

dear friends,
may i have your attention, please? now i’d like to make a speech here.
with the improvement of living standard, there are a lot of waste on campus. for example, the students leave the lights on in the daytime, water running after washing and remains of a lot of food after eating on the table. some of the students even ask their parents for pocket money. so it is high time that we had to deal with the problem. the reasons are as follows;
in the first place, the bad habit of being wasteful will have a bad influence on their own character. secondly, it adds financial burden to their parents. last but not the least, it also exhausts the world’s very limited natural resources, water and electricity.
but how to reduce the waste? in my opinion, it is everybody’s business to fight against waste. one one hand, i should start with myself to save everything. on the other hand, i’d like to remind my friends here to take the lead in reducing the waste. therefore, i’m sure, with everyone doing his bit, we will change the present situation for the better.
that’s all. thank you!
