Homework V Today some countries have come to rely on tourism as their major source. But many people believe that the problems caused by tourism are more serious than it has solved. The first thing to consider when discussing tourism is that tourism attracts too many people which may cause the environmental pollution problems and the increasing of the crime rate. On the other hand, some people think that we should not rely only on tourism as the major source of income because this make our economic structure too dependent on others. Although some people say that tourism may cause more issues, I believe that tourism can help people to solve much more troubles. Firstly, there is no doubt that tourism can offer so many jobs for those unemployed people, and it can promote economic growth and even the rate of economic growth. In addition, some countries rely on tourism as their major source of income because of their special geographic position or national territorial area. Australia and Italy are two of the most famous examples as far as I know. The next important point is that we can advocate our culture to the whole world through the tourism. It is well known that more and more foreigners came to China and loved it as China’s status becoming higher and higher. Finally, tourism cities or countries general pay more attention on environmental problems than other cities or countries. Consequently, they may be much more beautiful and cleaner. To sum up, I believe that the advantage of tourism far outweighs the disadvantage and there is no problem that a country relies on tourism as its major source of income.

Homework again and again There is a heated debate about the main function of a university. Whether a university should provide the knowledge and skills about work, or just give access to knowledge. Some people believe that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. As a result, those graduates could fit in their works quicker and easier. In addition, employers should not spend much time and money on training graduates without work experience, and employers can save more resources than ever before. The another main argument put forward for the main function of a university is that the true function of universities should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer. Although knowledge and skills about work are important, personal integrated ability and morality seem to be much more important. I strongly agree with the statement that the true function of a university is to give access to knowledge for its own sake. Despite training in universities may save more resources for employers, most of employers may pay more attention on graduates’ abilities and morality in fact. For example, work skills and knowledge may help a man to adapt to his job quickly, but they could never help a man to solve sudden problems well. Secondly, it is said that interest is the best teacher and people can accept all kinds of knowledge in universities. Consequently some talented people may stand out in different areas rather than living a mediocre life without living for a true purpose. In addition, people can improve their skills needed in work in vocational schools. To sum up, I think that providing different knowledge and the truth in life is every universities’ main function.

Homework Ⅲ Whether a successful man should be born with certain talents There is a heated debate about relative importance of natural talent and the education people get, especially in some specific fields such as sport, music or art. It is widely recognized that people can get so many kinds of education to improve their different skills. Sometimes a person may be taught to become a good sports person or musician. So some people think the training is the most important thing which determines people would be successful or not. However, some other people believe that natural talent makes a person successful in his areas of expertise. For instance, the long distance runners from Africa can get very good ranking usually. They have no system comprehensive training because of poverty, but they are still good at long distance race due to their talents. I personally think that natural talent is important as well as training. The education or training lay a comprehensive foundation for people, and people with certain talents may obtain achievements which those hard-workers can never acquire. On the other hand, genius is not the only factor that keeps someone in a high level. A famous sport star or musician needs both talents and hard training. For example, Michael Jordan, the most famous NBA basketball player, who was almost the best talent in his age always trained hardly to maintain competitive state. So he becomes one of the greatest players in the history of NBA now. As a whole, both talents and training are important. People can be taught in many different fields and trained hardly, but they can not make a great achievement without natural talent.
