It’s a sign of strengthbecause it shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and that then allows you to learn something new（不懂就问的重要性）. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparentor teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track tomeet your goals.

3.碎片阅读的好处

Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure tobe a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time.Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.（学会辩证看待问题）

4.如何看待做整容手术

Plastic surgery makes people more confident and gives them advantages. Not all people are born beautiful.Plastic surgery can change an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan（比喻恰当，说服力强）. Good-looking people often have more opportunities. Plastic surgery can not only make people more beautiful but can also give thema competitive advantage. But plastic surgery cannot guarantee success and involves high risks.

5.勇敢面对竞争的意义

It is a highly competitive world. One can feel the existence of competition everywhere, from the classroom to the job-hunting market.Looking for a fair opportunity to prove one's ability has become a matter of survival.If one wants to survive and to be successful in such a challenging society, one must learn to face the competition bravely.

6.合作的重要性

Strong as a man may be, he can hardly achieve anything without others’ help. Human beings are to cooperation what a fish is to water. Nobody can live without others. Now I have gotten to understand, to approve of, and finally to be fond of working in groups, and I do learn a lot from the other group members. I strongly ask you to treasure people around you and learn to work with your group. It really matters.

7.如何面对失败

It means you have learned something.Failure doesn’t meanyou have been a fool. It means you have had a lot of faith.Failure doesn’t meanyou have been disgraced. It means you were willing to try. （排比句铿锵有力）

8.网上购物

With the rapid development of the information technology, shopping on the internet has been a fashion especially among the youngsters. Online shopping has made our daily life more convenient and comfortable. For example, shopping on the internet can save us a great deal of time on the way between home and store.The internet has shortened the distance between manufacturers and consumers and thus we can even buy goods in other countries.

9.挫折教育

A parent’s worst nightmare is that their child might be hurt. However, being protective of one’s child might cause himor her more harm than good.A "cotton wool culture" is protecting children from risk and failure, and preventing them from learning how to overcome setbacks（也是一个非常恰当的比方，语言地道）. Risk and failure are opposite sides of the coin of success and achievement. If we want achievement then we might occasionally fall down. Children shouldn't believe life is always easy and that things don't go wrong.Those things do happen in real life. You fail, you strive, you try again. Young people need to take risks. If we avoid risk, if we wrap children in cotton wool, we will have a problem.

10.独立自主

Graduation is the time that you officially leave the home nest and start life on your own. Young people feel the need to work independently. In the professional world, independence means you're ready to be fully responsible for every assigned task at work. The boss counts on you. You can get help from colleagues, but it's down to you to ensure theassignment is completed.Independence also means you make your own choice or form your own opinion without being dependent on others.It means making sense of the world based on your own observations and experiences.

11.熟能生巧（名人演讲）

The main drawbacks to the Internet are as follows: First, it has too much information that has not been evaluated for accuracy. The huge false information becomes more of a problem every day. Second, the Internet is transforming the way people spend their time, which damages people’s ability to live normal lives.Those who are addicted to the Internet tend to withdraw from the people.I feel it is important for us to limit our use of the Internet, or to learn how to handle the problems it has caused.

12.如何追求真正的幸福感

Happiness isn’t just a gift, but a skill that can be learned and cultivated. People always rely on shortcuts like watching television, eating, and shopping to feel happy. But external satisfaction may lead to a sense of emptiness and even depression.Authentic happiness comes from identifying and cultivating people’s strengths like kindness, humor, and generosity.（富有哲理性）

13.责任感（名人演讲）

Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bulliedbecause of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environmentto study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.

14.成功的定义

Success is to keep moving forward, even if it’s just a little step. Keep doing this, and you will eventually taste the joy of success. The person without regrets is successful. There’s nothing that can be done about the past. The most important thing is to try your best and not regret the results. A successful person is one who has his or her own goal.The person firmly and consistently tries to achieve and finally fulfills his or her ambition.

15.垃圾分类

Waste separation and recycling should be a measure of urban civilization. Producers can be recyclers, but the government should have policies that encourage them to recycle the things they produce. People should be made aware of the benefits of waste separation. But public education alone is not enough, it needs to be backed by laws and regulations.

16.失败是成功之母（名人演讲）

Being successful is hard. You won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try. That’s okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. J.K. Rowling’s -- who wrote Harry Potter --her first Harry Potterbook was rejected 12 timesbefore it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.”
