The comparison between the distant-learning and the traditional college education The arriving of the Internet has changed people's working and living styles. Nowadays, more and more people tend to receive remote education, because this education system enables individuals obtain a diploma successfully at home. Although distant-learning education differs from the traditional college education, the former one possesses its own merits. Compared with traditional education, distance education is more flexible, thereby making more people accepting education possible. The distant-learning students can study by watching videos, which can be paused and replay times when the students encounter issues, until they understand the content in videos completely. Meanwhile, courses of the remote education could be accessed 24 hours every day and 7 days every week, so this is an ideal approach for students who are seldom available, as long as they have the access to the Internet. The development of the remote education also enable the tutors and the students interact seamlessly. Students can inquire questions in the virtual classroom by interactive communication tools, as well as sending email, therefore, they can get the guidance from the teachers as to complete the courses smoothly. Even more, they can communicate with scholars from reputable institutions over the globe, though these scholars are not actually in site. On the other hand, the primary deficiency of the distant-learning is students' communication skills could not be improved because generally there is no group assignment in the virtual classroom. Moreover, students finish their work independently. As a result, those who rarely have the chance to know other classmates would not be able to build up a network of contacts, which might impact these students' work life adversely. Remote education allows college eduction more accessible, because of its flexibility. However, this education system also has its shortages, like the lack of interaction, so it would not bring out the equal learning outcomes to the traditional college education.

Do laws restrict our freedom? Laws are the rules what are enacted to impose on people or protect people's rights. Although people's freedom are restricted in some extent by laws, I still believe they are essential in regulating people's behaviour. If citizens obey the rules and regulations, society could be kept in order, and the economy could be developed prosperously. In contrast, the traffic accident would increase and the traffic congestion would become a severe problem if somebody behaves against traffic rules. People who sell the fake and inferior products on the Internet should be punished by laws, otherwise consumers would not dare to buy anything online, thus impact the economy adversely. With the restriction of laws, people can also live in a harmonious and closely-knit society to enjoy their life. Like sometimes people are likely to be motivated by self-interest to do something harmful to others. If they abide by the regulations, they will respect and get alone with others well. Admittedly, laws are inevitably restrain individuals' freedom sometimes, even hamper the social development. For instance, the commercial activities would not be prosperous while various restrictions was imposed to the market by the government. High income earners have to subject to a considerable amount of incoming tax required by laws. As a result, people tend to miss out motivation to put in their effort to promote the income. The state should relieve some limitation to encourage people's revolution and creation which will be beneficial to the development of society. It is reasonable to conclude that society could not run stably without laws which primary purpose is to maintain a peaceful life for individuals, though these rules curb people to act at will.

Do we need a more expensive air travel? Cheap flights make us traveling across border in a low price possible, which I think is beneficial to the public, though we should reduce the unnecessary travel by air. People could experience various culture through traveling different countries by plane; thus expanding their outlook. Some people could get better job opportunities in other countries then obtain higher income; while some businessmen are possible to meet commercial chances to gain benefits by exporting or importing products. Some of them would lose these possibilities if the prices of flights were arise. Meanwhile, some people argue that the pricy service of flights will diminish the negative impact to the environment from ... High price will make some people abandon their plans of traveling by air to sort of destinations frequently; thereby reducing the flights, so as to reduce the greenhouse gas exhausted from planes. Other ... associated problems, including noise pollution, the environmental destruction from the construction and maintain of airports and other related infrastructures, will be improved. From my perspective, it is unnecessary to promote the flight prices because people deserve the chance of traveling and relaxing in different places. Citizens, especially who live and work in big cities, are extremely busy and full of pressure. If the flight is cheaper, they can take vacation in a relatively further spot. For example, Chinese tourists can visit some countries in Africa and enjoy the local food, rather than just relieve at home. In conclusion, my view is that decreasing the flight price is unreasonable. Through technological innovations, airport companies can reduce the strain on environment from flights.

Which is more important to teach at school, academic subjects or how to discriminate between R or W? Schools are normally considered as a place where students could be helped to acquire knowledge and improve the ability of employment. In my opinion, although academic courses is significant, could a student be hard to achieve success if he or she cannot distinguish things among right and wrong. Many techers believe that students have to pay more attention to main courses, since these subjects will determine if the students can get a further education in university. Through these courses, students will be able to acquire essential knowledge to construct a firm grounding for university, thus to find a decent job in the future. For example, if ones learn and master Mathematics well in high school, they will be likely to know how to design and build mathematical models to analyse data , thereby being employed as a financial analyst or an engineer. In contrast, students would not be able to focus on the main subjects if they spend too much time in learning virtual rules and action regulations. On the other hand, virtue is as important as academic subjects to be taught because with these guidlines students can apply their knowlege candidly and to be valuable members of our society. Those who know the importance of honesty would not sale the company's confidencial information to their competitors. An engineer who are socially responsible will design flawless products, which can be used by customers safely. It is less possible to achieve success for a man who cannot obey vital rules even he or she performed excellently at school. My personal perspective is that can students distinguish the right and the wrong, they will be able to pocess the characteristics to be sucessful in the future. Without these, they would not be possible to get along with their classmates and be respected by their teachers. If they could not realise these problems, their study and their work in the future would be inevitably impacted.

A place where you can read or write Speaking of the best place to read or write, I would like to mention the coach of the subway from my home to the office in Beijing. As a spacious and populous metropolis, the ground transportation of Beijing is always horrible and congested. Subway must be the most efficient transportation here. Everyday, loads of people take the subway from one side to another side of the city even from the urban to the downtown. This wastes us extremely plenty of time. Thus more and more people is tending to read books and play mobile games on subway to kill time. Like others, I'm one of the subway commuters too. After I was familiar with the transfer situation, I was used to read or write on subway every weekday when went to office and returned home. Perhaps you know the condition of the subway coach in the rush hour of Beijing. I scarcely have a seat even stood over several stations, but I still can occupy a space to read. Comparing with reading on mobile, book reading is generally unhandy because it's too large to flip. However, reading on mobile is degenerating my eyesight rapidly while eyesight is degraded from 1.5 to 0.8. Once I get a seat occasionally, I will write something about my schedule, memo or reading perceptions. Obviously, it's tricky to type in the unstable coach. But to be optimistic, this will enhance the flexibility of my fingers and the coordination of my body though it also impairs my physical healthy simultaneously. I'm afraid I still have to read and write on subway for a long period since I rarely have leisure time from the onerous work and the lengthy commute. Although it's not a cozy place to read, it's indeed an appropriate option to utilize instead of wasting. Otherwise, what we can do is just gazing at each other of the crowd on the endless coach.

Something you really want to buy in the future First thought, I will definitely buy a electric-driven SUV if I have enough money this year if I still live in Beijing. Besides being an effective facility to save my time an energy, car itself also rescues me from urgent situation. Everybody inevitably feels helplessness if he can't take a taxi while in emergency. First of all, the car I will purchase must be driven by electric due to the environmental friendly feature. Furthermore, you will know the car license plate restriction policy if you live in Beijing. It might be resigned to obtain a license plate even you apply it 1 year in advance. However, the electric car is an exception that you can claim the plate once you buy the car. Besides these, owning new-technology car also makes me full of sense of trendiness and accomplishment. It will definitely bring me confidence and boost my self-esteem when I socialize with others. In addition, not only does a SUV delivers relatively roomy seating and generous carbon storage, it also provides more possibilities to drive in the complicated traffic conditions such as pothole and slope. So that I can drive it to various places. Despite that, I will choose a brand with high reputation since I believe famous brands always offer the best quality and the up-to-the-date technology to drivers. From my perspective, those famous brands indicate a guarantee of security and safety to drivers. Moreover, Entertaining and high-tech are also essential elements I will consider. For instance, being equipped with an hi-fi stereo system which enables the driver to enjoy driving over listening to the music. And also, the GPS navigation system is set up so that it can provide drivers the most applicable way to go to the destination. After buying it, I will of course drive to work if no limitations on driving. Trust me, taking public transit to and from work in Beijing during the rush hour is far from a pleasant experience. Although some people might argue that bicycle is a more environmental-friendly means of transport, I feel car is safer, more comfortable and convenient. What’s more, I will do self-served travelling with my family and my friends at the weekends as well. In recent years, it has become a prevalent ways of traveling. Personally, I think it is a marvelous way to unwind and strengthen the family, friend bond. Nowadays in some places, particularly in big cities, for those who are ready to get married, a car is often a must.

A gift to others that took me a long time to choose - part 2 The day was coming, but I still had no clue to accomplish my part-time job. At last, I turned to my Dad for help via telephone calling. Expectedly, my Dad also wondered what was urgent need for my grandma. Indeed, he and my uncle have taken care of my grandma very well. They can almost response her most necessaries immediately. After a long time discussion, my Dad told me he need time to think out and will call me later. The second day, A calling came from my Dad. I can hear some exciting sense from his voice. He said, I got the answer. Though your aunt bought a mobile phone for your grandma, but she had never called anyone since she can't recognize any literal word and digit. As a result, she just received the incoming call passively and couldn't call out even she was missing somebody or in some urgency. I got the clue and responded, "I got it, she need a voice-controlled mobile phone. Whom she want to call, just speak his or her name simply and the phone will dial him or her itself." After being got the conclusion, I was hunting on several most noted e-commercial websites strenuously. Apparently, there are much more products in the online shop than that in offline shop and I also can compare various devices, moreover I needn't waste time on going to the shop.

A gift to others that took me a long time to choose - part 1 I have sent and received many presents for something big or small in the different moments so far, but when it comes to the most impressive one, it must be the one I sent to my grandma in the last Double Ninth Festival. Perhaps you know, this day is special for people to pay their respects to elderly and a day for the elderly to enjoy themselves. I'm struggling in my work since the deadline was such tight before the Festival, therefore I can't ensure that I would go home to reunite with my grandma. Since then I considered to prepare a present for her in advance for fear of too flatness of her in that day. Obviously, making a handicraft or some others manually by myself was really time-wasting and unrealistic in this situation. Then I sank into the part-time job -- Looking for an appropriate gift. What a tough mission! A lot of presents came into my mind everyday then I negated them in another day. The only thing I was determined was that I will buy something what is instrumental and she can use it everyday. I nosed around on the website when I had time and consulted some colleagues. Sort of options were recommended but I was unfulfilled more or less about them. For instance, a professional website guided people how to pick a particular present for others. Did it list us many advices and candidates, I still think the items like healthy products were not a proper choice for my grandma since I have had no idea about medicines any much, furthermore she was not used to take medicine casually. My colleagues told me the price of gold was dropping substantially, it must be an attractive deal to purchase some gold material jewelries. Though this will be a rewarding investment, my grandma felt unnatural when she wear jewelries in her 80s and accessories were always the last thing she need. I don't want to change and affect her custom.

A park When I come to a new park, I always associate the scenery with the park I have often visited years ago, which is nearby the community of my home town. It's an enjoyable place for many folks to do exercise and have fun. Some old people play chess or just sit on the bench while some children play in the ground with full of laugh.A small fountain and artificial hills are prominent on the spacious ground. Flocks of goldfish and ducklings swim leisurely in the pool. The rockeries in the pool are piled up in an uneven and intriguing shape of almost 2 meters height and 20 square meters large. Several delicate sculptures of pavilion intersperse on the top of rockeries. A tiny stream is mantled over with green moss, running down among the rock and finally meandering slowly to the fountain. The wonderful workmanship and excelling nature construct a harmonious arts. I still remember one day I took my nephew Jade who is 4 years old back then there in the morning. After some running and laughing, Jade was a little tired and asked to take a rest. Then I took him to the fountain and sat on its edge for a break. He was so curious with the ducklings in the pool, so he turned to it, standing on the edge and tried to catch one of them. Suddenly, he lost balance and fell into the fountain pool crying out "uncle, uncle!". Fortunately, the pool is rather shallow just above knee. I pulled out him right away but he got totally wet. I cannot help but let him take my coat and took him home. He looked extremely disappointment.Followed at my heels without any word. Finally he murmured, "uncle, I found that duckling was tired because it's playing motionless,I just wanna help it to land". The way he said it with such innocent and cute made me laugh out loud. When I came home, I narrated the whole incident to my cousin and he also had a hearty laugh but also remind him never play around the pool alone. Time flies, my nephew becomes a primary student. When I go back home and hang out with him in the park, he denied that he ever falling into the shallow pool. Obviously, he forgot the anecdote that happened with him.
