dont be afraid to say no

sometimes we have to say no to others when they ask us for help. why? one situation may be that we are not capable of doing the things they ask us to do. the other situation may be that we are unwilling to do what they ask us to do, BECause their requests may be unreasonable or even illegal. on both occasions we should say directly to them: no.

but the case is not always the same in our daily life. some people are afraid to say no when they should say so. on the one hand, they are afraid of losing their faces. on the other hand they dont want to hurt others, such as their family members, relatives, friends or colleagues.

to say yes when you should say no will eventually do you some harm. if you say yes but fail to help them in the end because of lack of the ability, they may think you are not worthy of trust. if you help them do something bad or illegal, you will be punished for what you have done. so, dont be afraid to say no if necessary.

reading selectively or extensively?

reading selectively or extensively? what is your choice? perhaps each of us has our choice.

some people think we should read selectively, for there are so many books for us to read. thousands of new books are published every day. how can we cover all these books in our limited time? besides, not all the books are worth reading.

some people, on the contrary, choose to read extensively. they think that reading extensively can broaden their horizons. through reading extensively they can learn something about their ancestors; through reading extensively they can get insight of great men. reading extensively can also enable us to adapt to the fast developing society. because we are living in a knowledgeexploding society, if we dont read extensively, we cant get enough information about the modern world, and we cant keep pace with the society.

in my opinion, we should read both selectively and extensively. by reading extensively, we can enrich our knowledge of aspects. by reading selectively, we can focus on and learn well the academic knowledge well need in our future work.

how i finance my college education?

every year, thousands of young men enter universities and colleges. it has been a problem for the students and their families how to finance their college education. in fact, the problem can be dealt with in many ways. the most common way is to get all the money from the parents.if their parents cant produce the tuition and the fees, students can apply a loan from the bank. there is still another way. students can finance their education by doing some parttime jobs in their spare time.

as for me, my parents can pay the greater part of the tuition and fees for me. so, i wont have a heavy financial burden, and i can put all my heart into study. i would like to pay the rest by doing a parttime job. although my parents are able to pay all the tuition and fees for me, i just want to know more about the society by my own working experience. therefore, i choose this way to finance my college education.

a letter to a schoolmate

june 23, 2001

dear xiao wang,

i am glad to hear that you will come to see me during the weeklong holiday. it has been three years since we graduated from our university. i miss you very much. i even cant wait to see you.

ive made a plan for this holiday. as this is the first time you come to beijing, i think wed better have sightseeing around it. we can visit some famous scenic spots and historical sites, such as summer palace, the forbidden city, the great wall, etc. we can do some shopping together. there are many splendid markets and plazas in beijing. the state library is also a good place for us to go. by the way, since lots of people will go traveling in this holiday, it must be crowded on the train. so you should take care of your luggage. bring more clothes with you because beijing is much colder than kunming at this time. and dont forget to tell me when you will arrive. ill pick you up at the airport.

miss you!

yours,

zhang ying
