Passage one
Young people today are more likely to help others than young people in the past
The world is rapidly developing; correspondingly, people are progressing generation after generation. Currently, the young people have broader horizon, richer knowledge and more indifferent toward others than the people in the past.
To begin with, busier than one could imagine, the current generation of young people has little time to help others out. When I was in high school, mu greatest friend Sophia had a hard time dealing with her mathematics, which I happened to be proficient in. As much as I wanted to help her with the difficult math problems after class, I myself was occupied by so many other things—every day after school I needed to go to the English training club, and during the weekend my mother had arranged the cooking class, computer skill-training class and so on, because she thought it would be better for me if I could be versatile. But how about the situation in the past? According to my mom, when they were at school, the competition was not really so fierce, so students were not required to be engaged in many extracurricular activities to sharpen their competitive edge. With more free time, of course they could care more about someone else other than themselves.
Second, the prevalence of the internet is also a reason why young people today are less likely to help others. Why is this so? Today adolescents spend so much time searching and receiving information on the internet, and some of the information Is not only widely spread but also profoundly influential to youngsters. For example, 3 years ago this piece of new was all the rage online: an old granny fell down when she was crossing the road. A nice young man saw her falling, ran towards her and tried to pull her up. However, the granny refused him and cried out all of sudden, claiming that it was this young nice man who pushed her down, she even asked for a compensation of 1000 yuan from the man. Afterward the release of the story spurred a series of heated discussion online, and the majority of the youngsters agreed that” now that being good is not only underappreciated and unrewarded, but even viciously manipulated, I would rather be a pass-by.” As you can see, with more of the negative events taking place every day, and with the rapid spread of the negative news, young people are less bold to offer their help to those in need.
My idea us thus quite clear: the youngsters today are less friendly than the young people in the past.
Passage 2
The world is busy and crowded so we should not expect people to be polite to others.
In the recent few decades, with the rapid development of the economy, people’s life pace is accelerating as well. Just standing on the street, you can see the pedestrians walking hustle and bustle, as if everyone is living in such a hurry that he is left with no mood to even bother behaving themselves. But I believe that even with such a busy life, we still need to be polite with other people.
Smart people will understand that only by keeping good manners can we maintain work efficiency, because today’s jobs frequently require the collaboration among colleagues or even departments. Once you are rude to others, they would be reluctant to help you out, which consequently drags down efficiency. Take my own experience for example. Last month we sales department needed additional support from human resource department. With the thriving business we needed new employees to help us expand the market. We thus emailed the human resource department, saying “we need you to select a few talents for us as soon as possible.” We waited for a few days, but there was no reply at all, while other departments who sent their requirements were getting quick reply. Turing angry, we forwarded the email again, and said, “this is our priority, and please realize that helping us is your duty.” Still, there was no reply. Things did not turn better until our head visited HRD in person, apologized a out our previous aggressive attitude and explained our situation to the manager of the HRD。Very soon, the hiring process was advanced. Thus, you can see the importance of the politeness In the working settings.
Being nice and polite to others also benefits our daily life; we would have a nicer mood and become mentally healthier as well. The other day I was buying a cup of coffee at Starbucks, and after ordering my coffee, I smiled at the barista and said, “it’s you again. Thanks for making me a latte with very rich foams every time.” He seemed to be surprised at my praise, and I could tell from his eyes how happy he was. And in return I kept a pleasant mood for the rest of the day and my pressure even seemed to be swept away. Here Is another case: an old man was taking the subway when a woman in high heels accidentally stepped onto his foot. The woman said sorry, but the old man was still very angry and started yelling at this woman, asking her to give him certain compensation. And when he was so outraged at the women, he suffered a sudden heart attack and was then sent to the hospital. This is really dramatic, isn’t it? But if the man had been politer and had excused the woman, that could have been a totally different story. Therefore, why not be friendly to people around?
My idea is thus quite clear: even when the world is busy and crowded, being polite to people still indispensable for everyone.
Passage 3
It is easier for parents to raise children today than it was 50 years ago.
Raising children is never an easy job. It is a large concerning finance, academic education mental guidance, and so on. But we have been progressing. In fact, it is much easier for parents in the contemporary society to raise children than it was 5 decades ago.
First of all, because of the economic development, people have sufficient income to cover the expenditure for raising a child. In the 1960s, when my parents were young, they could barely afford meals with meat every day. And sometimes even rice was a luxury for them. Also, I heard from my mother that during her childhood, she never had the chance to wear new clothes; instead, she was just left with old and ragged clothed passed on from her older sister. Because of the extreme financial condition, many children could hardly grow a strong and robust body; some of them even died if hunger. But that tough situation has gone for years already. Nowadays people still strive for material needs; but at least they will not face a situation, in which the next meal is nowhere to be found. Instead, they could get access to food of higher quality or of better nutrition, and their children could have nice and new clothes each season; many children even start to wear designers’ clothes early in their childhood. Therefore, now that the economic situation is getting better, it is easier for parents to raise children today.
Besides the physical concerns, raising a kid also includes maintaining her mental health. And currently thanks to the advanced technology, parents can have more proper ways to educate children; thus children might grow up healthy on the inside. My mother always tells me about her miserable childhood. Each time she did something wrong, my grandfather would always beat her heavily, because he believed that bearing the bodily pain was the best way for children to learn a lesson. As my mother became more rebellious and was out of control of grandpa, he just conducted even heavier physical punishment on my mother. He did not intend to be a terrible father; he simply did not understand the educational psychology, and there was no single source information to inform him if the right way to guide and educate children. Things have changed thankfully, in the current society. during my most rebellious period my mother checked much information online; she even consulted experts dealing with the teenage issues. Of course, what she applied was a gentler and more acceptable way for me to realize my mistake. This way, I would not develop a twisted personality, therefore, with the widely accessible information in current society, it is easier for parents to cultivate children’s mental health.
My idea is thus quite clear: compared with parents 50 years ago, parents today would find it quite easy to raise children, both physically and mentally.
Passage 4
People often buy products not because they really need them but because other people have them
People buy things every single day. They buy food and drinks, bags and clothes, books and electronic products, and so on. Some purchasing behaviors are stimulated by the real need, of course. But in fact, people buy the majority products simply because other people have them.
In the commercial field, it is said that earning women’s money is the easiest thing, which indicates that as long as the product advertisement is well made, it is just a matter of time before a woman rushes into the mall to buy thing that other women or celebrities have bought. True, as a woman, I have the ability to rationally identify whether a product is useful to me, but it is a more difficult task to make the rationality defeat my irrational sides. And these irrational decisions range from the small package pressed powders, the clothes of the latest season, to family appliances such as treadmills. I can clearly remember one time, when I saw a famous movie star, wearing a red coat from Burberry. She looked both chic and vulnerable in that coat, and at the same time elegant—I could hardly resist the glamour she was exuding. And believing that I would look just as gorgeous in that coat, I immediately bought it online, which almost cost me 30 thousand yuan. Sadly, I was funny in that coat—my skin was dark, which could seem even dirty in red. After all, I was just me and could never turn into a superstar, even if I was wearing exactly the same outfit as she was. But guess what? I quickly forgot that tragedy and soon started to follow and buy what other celebrities were buying and wearing. If there is one type of people who are incorrigible, that must be women.
So are men better off? After all, they seem to be more rational, more indifferent towards “trend,” and more aware of what they really want and need. At least, this is what they believe, or want to believe. However, these are just excuses that the men find for themselves to covet the fact that they are just as impulsive as women when it comes to purchasing things. The only difference is that while their irrationality may come less frequently, what they target at is usually way more expensive. For instance, 5 years ago, one of my father’s good friends bought a nice BMW. Very soon my father proposed that our family need a car as well, and he even listed 2 good reasons: the first one was that my mother did not need to go to work on foot and the second reason was every weekend he could take the family for a short excursion with the car. But come on, our family was just a small town. The walking time for my parents to go from home to the office was less than 15 minutes, so do they really need a car to cover this short a distance? And further that time my mother had to work during the weekend, so the weekend excursion? Well, or a car was indeed necessary, but a BMW in the very small town? I didn’t remember my father was ever so high-profile. As I got older and net more men, I found that when it comes to electronic products, cars and houses, men are just irrational as well and are subject to the simple psychology of the following the trend.
My idea is thus quite clear: people’s purchasing impulse is usually driven by the fact that others own a product.
Passage 5
Parents can learn more things from children than children could learn from their parents
Growing up, children constantly learn from their parents. Parents guide children to learn knowledge, to know about basic principle in the society and to follow the moral standars strictly. But in fact, parents learn from children just as much as, if not more than, children learn from parents.
Parents learn to be more patient when educating their kids. It is a slow process for children to learn new things, such as the pronunciation of a word, or the way to correctly hold the tableware. As a result, parents sometimes need to teach children again and again before children could master a new skill. During this process, even the most short-tempered parent could gradually become patient. When I was ten years old, my father taught me to ride a bike. At first he thought it was an easy process, so he just instructed me on the basic drills. And when he found these verbal instructions didn’t work, he started to patiently show me the physical move himself. Besides that, for one consecutive month, he kept company with me to practice the riding skills, despite his busy schedule. Sometimes, I made the same mistakes again and again, but he never got angry; what he did was to teacher me repeatedly without any single complaint. But in fact, my father was a never patient person before; in his work sometimes he would not even wait until his subordinates finished their report before interrupting. According to him, it is being my father and teaching me that changed him into. A better more patient person.
Besides, adults learn from children to never hold back when facing challenges. My mother shared a story with me, showing how I had encouraged her to change her job when she was in her 30s. My mother was the chief manager in the financial department of a big company. She never considered changing her job until one day one of her friends invited her to be the partner of a newly founded auditing firm. She could not make up her mind; even though accepting the invitation might mean an even brighter career development, it came simultaneously with the greater risk as well. Once my mother saw me playing the building block, and I was constantly trying to build taller blocks, even though the block was already extremely tall from her perspective. “honey, aren’t you afraid that the entire block may collapse?” my mother asked, “it is already of great height, so why don’t you just stop here？“ I lifted my chin, if I stop here, how can I know how far I can go? if it collapse, I can start over again. It is not a big deal. According to my mother she was inspired and set up her mind to step out of her comfort zone and to embrace greater challenges in her life.
Needless to say, I cannot deny all the great things we inherit from my parents, from the basic vocabulary and daily manners to the deep and life-changing morals and worldview. All I am trying to say is that the learning is indeed reciprocal.
My idea is thus quite clear: parents and children both learn quite much from each other.
