1) The Double Seventh Festival falls on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month. It is a traditional and romantic folk festival of the Chinese people. This night is said to be the time when Niulang and Zhinv have their annual meeting on the bridge of magpies. This festival is not as magnificent as many other Chinese festivals such as the Lantern Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, but almost everyone in China is familiar with the very moving story behind it. This festival is considered by many people to be the Chinese Valentine's Day.

1) Nowadays, young people are facing more challenges in educational choices. Some youngsters choose college education without hesitation, because they think college is the place where people can not only acquire professional knowledge and improve personal capability, but more importantly, learn how to be an all-round person. In college, young people will develop public awareness, rational reflection, critical thinking, humanistic concern, and so on. They also think being a technical worker will somehow lose face and be looked down upon by others. Other people think technical school is a more sensible choice, because they consider getting employment as the top priority in life. Many college graduates end up being unemployed or getting a job with a much lower salary than that of a technical worker. Therefore, learning a specialized skill which can guarantee a high-paid job and a well-off life is much better than wasting time to get a college diploma. From my perspective, receiving college education is comparatively the better choice. It's desirable to accumulate diverse knowledge, broaden horizons, improve social ability, as well as develop personal potential in college. The key to becoming an outstanding college graduate is to make good use of the vast resources in college. Thus, with a solid foundation based on excellent academic performance and a comprehensive thinking style, a promising future is close at hand.
