The name heongsam?simply meaning ong dress?is known as ipao? It originated from a Chinese minority whose women normally wore a type of dress which, likewise, came to be called ipao? With the improvement, the cheongsam has become the traditional dress for Chinese women. Today, the cheongsam shows its charm in many markets. For instance, when wives of China`s politicians, movie stars attend important social gatherings, a piece of cheongsam is their first choice among dresses. Now, the cheongsam is so much loved by women not only of China but also of foreign countries. If you are touring in China, I will strongly suggest you to purchase a piece of cheongsam for your wife, which must to be the best gift. I will sent a piece of cheongsam to the international exhibition in respect that as a Chinese woman, in my heart the cheongsam represents beauty, and it is a vibrant part of Chinese culture. Essay 506 Topic 99 Would you rather choose your own roommate? Regarding the question of choosing your own or having a roommate assigned, students have differing(different) opinions. Some claim that choosing their own roommate is better because they can share the room with their favorite friends, whereas having the university allocate their roommate would cause many problems such as continuous conflicts and arguments. However, those who think this way do no realize the beneficial merits of having a roommate they do not know well. In my opinion, it is better for students to be assigned roommates because of the following reasons. First, by living together, the two people who have never met and have different personalities would not only have to communicate with one another but cope with problems that might come up. There may be many disputes when they live together. If either roommate insists that their point of view is correct one, they may then require their roommates to follow certain rules. Through discussing the problems with each other, however, they might not only discover that they were wrong but learn to listen to others. Furthermore, they would be learning how to respect the other`s opinion. Today`s students will become specialists working in a team. These communication skill will show at that time. Another obvious advantage can be seen from a particular example. There is a student who is inactive and sometimes tend to be ignored because he/she is not popular. For her/him selecting a roommate is a really difficult task and a stressful burden. In addition her/his options would be unavoidably limited. I think at least universities should be committed to giving students equal opportunities and be ready to jump in to help students who cannot find their own roommates. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Thirdly, it is impossible to predict how two strangers are going to get along and this sometimes turns to be a special and unique surprise. Choosing people I already know as my roommate would be really boring, although it would be comfortable. To me, meeting new people is interesting. New people always expose me to new surroundings, besides, it helps me gather new information. When I entered the university of Korea, I met two roommates; one came from Japan and the other from China. Even thought we had a difficult time communicating with each other, it was a really fine moment to get to know and to introduce each other. Even I got a fresh point of view about other culture and thoughts thanks to them. It gave me a chance to think my owns as well as others. I will never forget the first impression and that moment. In conclusion, it seems to me that having the university allocate students to their roommates is quite an excellent idea for the following reasons. First, It would give the students a chance to adjust to unfamiliar situation and to develop their social skills. Secondly, it would be really helpful to a student who has a hard time finding someone. Last, expecting a new roommate will be a peculiar experience and surprise. For that reasons, I advocate the idea that accepting the university determined roommates is better for students. Essay 507 Topic 99 Would you rather choose your own roommate? If my university had us share our dormitories with another person, I would rather choose my own roommate than allow the university to choose those with whom I have to live. In fact, if I can choose my roommate, I will have the possibility to look for somebody whom I know very well in order to get along. Additionally, I could choose a person studying the same as I am in order to cooperate each other in our studies. If we can choose a person who has the same values as we have, we will have better chances to have a good time living together, and as time goes the roommate will become not only our friend but also our family at university. I have lived with a close friend when I attended university. I keep the best records of that experience. During my university`s years I learned to share all my living experiences with him. Because my friend and I were far away from home, we needed support suddenly. We found that support in our roommate most of the time. The possibility to choose a person who is studying the same as we are is also very important. We will have somebody going through the same problems near us. If we have to pass some exam, we will have the chance of studying together, which will lead to save a lot of time since we will not need to join with our classmates in other dorms or in the library. In conclusion, I prefer choosing my own roommates to allowing the university to select them randomly. In this way, I can choose people whom I know their personality. Thus, I will avoid future problems in relation to live together. Further, I would try to choose people who are taking the same courses as I am such that we can help each other daily For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org because we live in the same place. Essay 508 Topic 100 Should governments spend money on computer technology or more basic needs? Many people believe that governments should spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technologies, while others think that governments should spend money on more basic needs. While spending both on computer technologies and on basic needs of society are important, I think that government should concentrate on the latter. Computer technologies are not very good investment from point of view of society as a whole, while investment in essentials has a much higher rate of return. Investment in areas related to computer software, networks and hardware are not very profitable and will not improve life of ordinary citizens. Several years ago many thought that by investing in computer-related fields we can improve performance across the board, but reality proved to be much more complex. Most of Internet companies, dot- coms, went bankrupt. Although huge money was poured in those companies, they even were not able to support themselves. The promise of improved performance also has never come true. But we have more than 20 million people who live below poverty line in the United States, the most powerful and prosperous country in the world. More than third of the earth population live on less than one dollar a day - official threshold of poverty declared by United Nations. We can greatly improve life of those people by investing in public education, organizing small business loan agency or other project that can help to alleviate poverty. What`s more, computers can actually make this problem worse, because they make inefficient to produce anything by bare hands - so making most of world`s uneducated population obsolete and without means to sustain themselves. Analysts expect that in several decades more than third of population will not have access to clean water. This can leave famine, bad public health and other disasters. Some argue that we will have wars for access to clean water. To prevent this scenario we need to invest large amount of money in projects that will help to save clean water on our planet. In conclusion I want to say, that investment in computers will not solve a single problem of our society. Computer will not prevent famines, which are so usual today, or help poor people. On the contrary computers can leave poor blue-collar workers without work and money to support their families. So governments around the world should spend all available money on basic necessities of our society, not on some dream projects. Essay 509 Topic 100 Should governments spend money on computer technology or more basic needs? Should governments spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technology? Some people think that government should spend as much money For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org as possible on developing or buying computer technology. Other people disagree and think this money should be spent on more basic needs. Personally, I agree that government should spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technology. Because the computer technology we develop or buy will use not only in computer industries but also in other fields, we all will benefit from it. Moreover, our society needs to get progress in which computer technology will play a leading role. Furthermore, our daily activities will be more convenient with computers. First of all, not only the computer industry will take advantage of the computer technology but it will benefit our whole society. For example, scientists can do more researches on their projects, obtaining more useful results and helping more people to achieve better lives. Moreover, doctors can use computer technology to examine their patients more thoroughly; therefore, save more lives. Secondly, our world needs to get progress. By using computer technology, we can simulate a lot of different kind of situations that people can never imagine. For instance, exploring the outer space, our space shuttles need the most advanced computer technologies to support their journeys. Furthermore, without computer technologies, there is no Internet today, which is a big revolution for human beings. Thirdly, our daily activities can be more convenient with computer technologies. For instance, managing personal expenses, we can use computer software to analyze all the details. Moreover, students can do their homework using computers, by which they can save more time, and therefore, learn more. In summary, computer technology will help people in every field, and we all will benefit from it. Moreover, our society needs to get progress in which computer technology will be an important matter. Furthermore, our daily activities will be more convenient with computers. With these reasons, I personally agree the statement that governments should spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technology. Essay 510 Topic 100 Should governments spend money on computer technology or more basic needs? Nowadays, we are entering into a supplicated science era that more and more funds are put into exploring the space. However, some would argue that the government should render the main funds to people`s basic needs. I think it depends on the economical situation of the country. Governments of developing and developed countries should in turn adopt different strategies for investment according to their specific cases respectively. First, a developing country will be best served if it spends money mostly on meeting people`s basic needs, such as food, shelter etc. For instance, China has more than over 3 For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org billion people living under poverty, suffering poor health insurance and is deprived of the right of education due to the lack of money. In Africa, there are people die of various diseases like AIDs everyday, and the government are compelled to invest their money in medicine and correlated research. Only by ensuring people`s basic needs met, the country would gain the overall national strength and develop further. On the other hand, developed country will be better off by investing in exploring outpace. They have enough money and resources to do it. Moreover, they are leaders of the world. The discovery of space will only speed up their own growth, but also would be beneficial to all human beings on the earth. Admittedly, there is poverty in every country, but poverty is not the main problem for developed countries. To put all into a nutshell, whether the government should invest as much as money on exploring out space is not a simple question. Developed countries will accelerate their development on exploring the space while the developing countries would be better off taking care of the basic needs of its citizens. Essay 511 Topic 100 Should governments spend money on computer technology or more basic needs? It is not wrong at all for a government to spend money on developing and buying computer technology, but it should take care of its people`s basic needs first. Undoubtedly, the development of technology would help a country to become more prosperous and would raise its international position. Take Japan as an example. She has a very high level of technology that brings a great deal of income to her via the sales of hi-tech appliances such as cellular telephones and audio equipment. Besides, it makes Japan so famous for her advanced technology. However, it is my opinion that every government of a city should have a balance on how it spends its money. Only when the basic needs of the citizens are taken care of should the government think about developing its computer technology. Otherwise, the government is simply neglecting its people`s cry and pursuing its own pride and fame. A good and responsible government should be one that take cares of its people`s needs like food and health, living, recreational equipment and so on. It should make its people feel security and satisfy before it goes for other higher pursuit like computer technology. To conclude, spending money on computer technology is wise only when the people are fed and do not complain.

Essay 514 Topic 100 Response to Topic 100 Should the governments spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technology? Or should this money be spent on more basic needs? A wise solution to this dilemma depends on the circumstance. In most developing countries, money should be spent on satisfying the basic needs of the people, instead of on developing computer technologies. Unlike the people in developed countries, those in some countries are stilling leading a poor live, and are short of the most basic needs, food, drinking water, medic care, and so on. In these countries, any government with responsibility should spend as much money as possible on providing the people with basic recourses. After all, the problem of being alive is much more important than being equipped with modern technologies, such as computers. However, this is not to say that the development of computer technology is dispensable. On the contrary, our society has seen a great importance of computers. Nowadays, computers play key roles in every aspect of the society, e.g. in industry, education, and public communication. Without the help of computers, a modern society can hardly work properly. Thus, it is definitely necessary for a government to develop or to by computer technologies. Unfortunately, like other modern technologies, the development of computer technology consumes a tremendous amount of money. A regular personal computer costs thousands of dollars. A huge computer, which can do ultra-fast calculation, costs millions of dollars. What is more, the development of such computers is a complicated session, generally takes over ten years and a group of experts on computer sciences, meaning a great amount of investments. Although being a mission consuming money as well as time, the development of computer technology is supposed to be taken good care of, as long as the basic needs of the people have been satisfied. In sum, the appropriate choice between these two options depends on whether the basic needs have be satisfied. If no, the money should be spent to improve the basic living conditions of the people. If yes, it will be wise of the governments to spent enough money on developing or buying computer technologies. Essay 515 Topic 101 Doing work by hand vs. by machine Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotion concern, I find some For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org people like doing work by hand while others prefer using machines. From my point of view, I prefer to use machines rather than doing work by hand, because machines are more efficient, more precise, more clever. Machines are efficient. They can repeat the same task repeatedly without tiring. Before the industrial revolution, farmer had to reap the corn by hand, this work is very hard and cost people much time, but by using reaper, farmer can reap the corn in a little time. Another example, do you like to wash clothes by hand or using washing machines? Of course, I choose using washing machines, for washing machines can wash clothes very clean and fast. Machines improve our work efficiency greatly. At the same time, machines can be very precise. Before the computer invented, I had to do some calculation by hand and often made many mistakes, but now I can depend on the computer to do the same task, more precisely and faster. I cannot imagine doing the same task by hand now. Machines are also very clever. When I use Word processor to type a paper, the computer can always find some spelling mistakes automatically and provide some possible choices. It facilitates my work considerably. In addition, I think machines are gradually changing everyone`s working pattern. Of course, some work has to be finished by hand, but if there is any possibility, I will use machines to do my work without hesitation. Essay 516 Topic 102 Should students evaluate their teachers? Some people tend to think that schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers while others fear that it will bring about some harmful effects to both teachers and students. In my point of view, I believe that the evaluation has more advantages than disadvantages. The argument for my claim goes as follows. First of all, asking students to evaluate their teachers can conceal some inappropriate aspects in the course of the process of teaching and learning, in order to make the teaching more reasonable and effective. This process is interactive and it constitutes more than one part. Sometimes, teachers do not realize some occasional mistakes they made when they have classes and sometimes the way that they train the students is not quite suitable for the students. As a result, the quality of their education is hard to reach the satisfying level. Taking measures will make teachers realize all these facts, thus improving their education by means of making some adjustments. Second, since education is a wo-part?process, the evaluation will probably play an important role in stimulating the creativity and activity of the students, when schools ask student to evaluate their teachers. They may feel that they are treated equally, not submissively. The sense of equality will make them participate the teaching more actively. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org However, there are also some disadvantages in it. For example, some teachers may consider himself authority, never to be suspected. This enactment will make them feel uncomfortable and have the prejudice to these students who evaluate them. After all, though these disadvantages really exist, the advantages outweigh. So I strongly recommend that the measures should be taken as far as possible. Essay 517 Topic 102 Should students evaluate their teachers? It is very challenging for me to discuss the matter `should schools ask students to evaluate their teachers or not`. In my opinion, there are certain situations which require student`s opinion. But on the other hand, I believe that it is not necessary for schools to ask students to evaluate their teachers. One of the reasons that makes me disagree is that students are not enough mature to give `grades` to their teachers. Many students have favorite teachers therefore, they can hardly ignore their subjective opinion and give a real evaluation for the practical and theoretical skills to all of their teachers. Another reason why I think schools should not ask students to evaluate teachers is that young people do not have needed experience for that. Thus, many teachers having a lot of skills and knowledge can be rated incorrectly. However, there are certain situations that require students` opinion for their teachers. Take for instance when some problem occurs between both sides. In this case it may be very useful for a school board to regard students` opinion. Some informal anonymous inquiry asking students about their evaluation and attitude to school teachers can prevent many further conflicts, for example. In general, I disagree that schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers. I believe that young people are immature and inexperienced to disregard their subjective attitude to some of the teachers. That is why, if some conflict between students and teachers appears the measures for resolving it should be delicate because sooner or later students can become victims of their own prejudice. Essay 518 Topic 102 Should students evaluate their teachers? I strongly agree that students should be able to evaluate their teachers. When done properly evaluation can have a positive effect on teachers as well as students. If a student is not satisfied with the way a certain teacher presents his/hers class the student has an opportunity to express his/her point of view and dissatisfaction about the class. Such technique allows teachers to be more productive as well as it leads to a better interaction between students and teachers. It also creates a perfect environment for the For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org students to absorb a school material more efficiently. The students can feel open and relaxed in the class, never hesitate to ask for help and most importantly be treated equally. Being treated equally will have a tremendous impact on a young student. He/she will realize how important it is to take studies seriously. Moreover he/she will want to learn more about a certain given subject which will enable him/her to see wider aspects of a certain topic, and as a result it will produce more qualified specialists for society. However, there is a downside to such practice. It can become very personal and get easily misused. The students have to remain objective and be able to determine the difference between bad teaching or simply being a lazy student. Teachers should not be held responsible for the lack of personal discipline and rebellious behavior. Interestingly enough there are still young individuals who are not mature yet for the university life, and need some time to grow up. As I stated earlier I agree that teachers need to be evaluated, but the process has to be fair and carefully examined before taking any actions in order to show certain dissatisfaction. Essay 519 Topic 102 Should students evaluate their teachers? Like every method there are some advantages and disadvantages when schools ask students to evaluate their teachers. It is also depending on what king of tools are using for evaluation. A well-designed method definitely helps schools, teachers as well as students for their continuous improvement. First of all I want to discuss about the disadvantages. When the students are very young they do not know the difference between good teaching and bad teaching. They may confuse and select their favorite teachers as good and strict teachers as bad. Some times it may force the teachers to entertain the students. The unorganized evaluation may encourage teachers to give punishment or rewards to the students depending upon their evaluation, and students make take advantage of this. So we should keep all the factors when implement a tool like this. When we discuss about the advantages, there are many. The schools will get a chance to correct the bad teachers and it also encourages the good teachers. This method gives an opportunity to the teachers to know about themselves in the student`s point of view. It boosts the student`s responsibility and confidence towards the school. It also helps students when they have a trouble with their teacher. When I was in school I faced some bad teaches who never taught us anything and never told us the basics of a subject. If we have this kind of tool I could have used it. If we can create a good evaluation method and well implementation, definitely it helps a lot. Students are the future of a country. So I strongly support this method for the bright future of students and thus the nation. Essay 520 Topic 102 student's evaluation .

Another obvious advantage can be seen from a particular example. There is a student who is inactive and sometimes tend to
