Diligence and Talents Diligence is necessary for everyone wanting to be successful, even for the gifted. We have to admit that people with great talents may have bigger chance of working miracles, but it doesn’t mean that their success may come without hard work. Talents allow people to hold high expectations for themselves, but they cannot replace experience which is accumulated through hard work. It often takes years for the talented to become experts of a field, during which they have to gain enough experience to make the best of their talents. As far as I am concerned, diligence but talent is the determining factor on our way to success. We should make constant efforts to discover our full potential so that we can fly towards success.

An Essay: Problems Caused by Poverty According to World Bank, the number of people who live in poverty is 13 million, and the figure may rise to 15 million by the end of the year 2015. Poverty is one of the severest problems existing in present-day society. The poor meet more difficulties through their entire lives than most normal people do, especially when they are looking for job opportunities, interacting with people in the society and receiving education. While most people have started their career at their thirties, the poor may still be struggling for a job opportunity at the same age. Causes are complicated. Interacting barriers and lack of education may prevent them from getting a satisfying job. With their burning desire for money, some choose to sacrifice their dignity and subsist by begging. Some may even turn to crime. Poverty can result in other social problems such as unemployment and terrorism, being a threat to society stability. Regardless of cultural differences in regions, the poor still find it hard to have open and equal dialogue with other people. Their lack of confidence is a main reason. They are worried to be looked down upon, thus are often unwilling to start conversations with common people, but often resulting in more misunderstanding and discrimination. Consequently, their self-images become worse. The circle goes round and round and the poor will finally find it extremely hard to get a fair position in the society. Children living in poor families seldom receive the same education that most children from wealthy families receive. Rising tuition suggests that the possession of a family may be a determining factor in their child’s future development. As a result, teenagers from poor families are always at a disadvantage when competing with other teens of their age. Some poor children are prepared to succeed their parents, which in most cases may get few chances of improving their living conditions. Therefore, poverty in one generation is very likely to pass on to another. Although in modern society most people are living a more comfortable life, members of the society should realize that there are people who are still struggling for a job opportunity, tortured by discrimination, and there are children who cannot afford to go to school. It’s true that organizations like the Hope Project are already giving assistance, but the poor are still a part of society that needs respect and special care.

A report on homework (NEED CORRECTION!!!) Recently, a survey on homework preference has been conducted among senior three students. The result are as follows: over half of the students, about 45% regard math as the most vital task, while only 7% put Chinese in the first place. Moreover, English is thought to be significant among 18%of the participant. Additionally, other subjects attract the attention of 21%of the students. We can clearly seen that math draw more students’ attention than Chinese. However, Chinese is definitely our native language which is the cream of a nation. Nevertheless, each subject holds unique charm, it is Chinese that accompany with us throughout our lives. Taken all things into consideration, we should focus highly on Chinese and be proud of our culture.
