In response to these threats, we students must act promptly and wisely. Since we definitely will be facing a competitive job market, it"s crucial that we submit high quality resumes. Therefore, we must commit more to our professional studies. Even do better, master more relevant job skills as a double security. Furthermore, apply for scholarships and grants, as these are still available and we don"t have to pay them back. As for the safety issues, trust our instinct--there"s no free lunch in this world. Anything that promises quick returns without much work is a sure trap. Stay alert and protect ourselves.

University Students" Pursuit of Famous Brands

“What perfumes are you wearing?“ Aren"t your shoes Nike"s latest release?” “I like the Mickey bag you bought yesterday.”“I hear the Jack &Jones store is on sale this week. Do you wanna come along?” Don"t feel surprised if you hear them coming out of the mouth of college students. It"s quite common to hear and see college students swapping information about the brands they like and the products they use. In fact, discussions about brand names have become one of the college students" favourite pastimes. They learn about the latest fashion from each other, exchange tips about when and where to get the item, and buy it at their earliest convenience. “Keeping up with the Joneses” is their conviction--“If the Joneses have it, how could I have not?”

About this current mindset of the college students, many people may hasten to show their disapproval. They"ll probably take it to be a reflection of the students" vanity and superficiality. And they may lecture them on the virtue of being thrifty.

However, I beg to differ. For one thing, namebrand products are usually quality products. As such, they are something beautiful, endurable, and reliable. “The love of beauty is common to all,” goes the proverb; therefore, there"s nothing to blame about the pursuit of famous brands. For the other, college students are old enough to make their own decisions. Likewise, they must abide by the consequences if they make an illadvised one. If they let their pursuit of brands eat into their budget for other more important issues, they should be able to correct their mistakes and keep everything in moderation. So this becomes no other than a good chance to learn management, isn"t it?

Knowledge and Diploma

It is generally believed that a high diploma guarantees a promising future. Some people identify high diplomas with profound knowledge and exceptional competence. Companies also tend to emphasize the academic achievement of a job candidate. Like it or not, there does exist a social reality--the higher diplomas one gets, the more popular he becomes.

On the contrary, other people claim that a high diploma doesn"t automatically translate into knowledge. A diploma, in their eyes, is only the acknowledgment of one"s educational experience rather than a guarantee of one"s ability. Therefore, we can never measure the depth of one"s knowledge by the grade of one"s diploma. Besides, many knowledgeable people don"t have a high diploma. Take Bill Gates for example. His dropping out of college cannot deny the fact that he is one of the world"s most learned men.

So I must say no one should ever equate a diploma with knowledge, because a diploma is nothing but a proof of a shortterm study while genuine knowledge needs one"s lifelong devotion.

Say No to Pirated Products

At present, we may find ourselves surrounded by a sea of pirated products--pirated albums, books, softwares, etc. It is never exaggerated to say piracy has been one of the most pervasive and destructive phenomena in our country. As soon as a newlypublished book or movie appears, people will find its pirated copies offered for sale in cafes, restaurants, stores, subways and even some workplaces.

The main reason for the wide spread of piracy is that the fixed prices of genuine goods are somehow beyond our purchase power while pirated copies often cost much less. Due to piracy, legitimate producers, inventors and authors have suffered heavy losses. If those legitimate producers" enthusiasm is greatly hurt, they may stop producing that kind of products. As a result, the customers have no choice but to buy pirated copies of poor quality. Finally, the problem will evolve into a vicious cycle.

In view of the severity of this issue, effective counter measures should be taken immediately. On one hand, the government should further clean up the book, video and software markets. More antipiracy campaigns should be launched and supervision should be strengthened. On the other hand, publishers and bookmen should use the legal weapon to protect their own rights. Last but not least, the costs and prices of original books should be reduced relatively, as most buyers choose pirated products because of their cheap prices. Only in this way can we bring an end to piracy.

A letter Declining a Job Offer

Dec. 24th

Dear Managers,

I am very grateful for you to give me another job in the company. Thinking about the good opportunity you offer to me each time, I am really moved. What words should I say? It seems that words on this special occasion fail to express me. All in all, I just want to say “many thanks for all your kindness and consideration.”
