- If people have the opportunity to get a secure job, should they take it or wait for a better one? Recently, there is some dissent as to whether people should pick a secure job or wait for another job that would be more satisfying. Some people agree that one should give up the offer and wait for a better one, whereas others contend that this opportunity is valuable and should be taken. As far as I am concerned, I think it is high time to grab the chance and receive that secure job. First, a secure job brings us a secure life and help us enjoy it. With a secure job, we have a secure income, which can be used to raise our family. That's enough. Then we can devote ourselves to enjoying our free time with the ones we love. We can go to Kyoto and visit Yasaka Shrine with our parents, travel to the Philippines and appreciate the beautiful beach and sea, or just stay home and watch TV with our family. As the saying goes, "You only live once." Life should be spent with things we love instead of the endless waiting. In addition, waiting for a more satisfying one literally can be full of risk and uncertainty. No one is sure when an ideal job will come and whether the next one is better or worse. For instance, my friend, Chen once received several offers from some small technology companies. Nevertheless, he preferred some big-name companies like Google and Amazon. In the end, he gave up those offers and waited a whole year to receive the offer from Google. According to him, this year was quite suffering and he felt that he was lucky enough to spend just one year and get the ideal offer. Admittedly, picking the current secure job and giving up the ideal one seems regretful. Nevertheless, we can still continue looking for our ideal job in our spare time after we receive that secure offer. In this case, not only can we have a secure income first, but we can grab the chance to a more satisfying job, which is a win-win situation. To summarize, I agree that we should catch the current chance and stop waiting for a better job. Because we can have more time to enjoy our lives and avoid uncertain factors. Moreover, we have a chance to make a win-win situation.June 19, 202010
- Do young people nowadays give enough time to helping their communities? As it is known to all, it is crucial for everyone who is engaged in the community to devote themselves to the development of the whole community. However, recently there is some dissent as to whether young people nowadays spend enough time helping their communities or not. Some people believe that they have already given a lot of time to the communities and done a good job, whereas others contend that the time that they have spent is far from enough. From my point of view, I think they do not give enough time to helping their communities. First of all, most young people are busy with their daily work and just do not have enough time. They usually have to occupy themselves with their work for the whole week. For example, in China, recently there is a new word called nine-nine-six, which is used to describe a job which requires people to work from nine o'clock a.m. to nine o'clock p.m., six days per week. As a matter of fact, this kind of job is usually common in Chinese young people, especially for those who work in a technology company like Alibaba. Supposed young people have already devoted themselves to their jobs, how can they have enough time to help the community? Moreover, a lot of young people actually are lacking in the sense of volunteering. When they finally have enough free time. Many people would prefer staying at home, chatting with friends, playing video games, or watching TV series. They would rather spend time on some entertainment to relax rather than make some efforts to help others. You know, helping communities would not lead to a considerable payment. So it is nearly impossible for individualists, who account for a large proportion in modern society, to give their time to the community. To sum up, I think the time that young people have spent on helping society is far from enough. Not only because are they occupied with their work and do not have enough time, but because they are lacking in such a sense of volunteering. In order to make a big contribution to the community, they still have a long way to go.June 17, 202021
- Should parents encourage teenage children to take a part-time job? The child is the treasure of every family. How to cultivate children as well-rounded people has always been a critical problem for parents to discuss. And recently, there is some dissent as to whether or not parents should encourage their teenage children to take a part-time job. Some people contend that teenage children are too young to take a part-time job, whereas I believe that taking a part-time job is one of the best ways to improve themselves and prepare for their future life. Firstly, taking a part-time job can develop children's independent personality and a sense of responsibility. Take my high school friend Patrick for example, he was a little spoiled boy. His parents did almost everything for him: cleaning his room, washing his clothes and rescuing him from troubles. However, everything changed during the last summer vacation when he served as a waiter in a cafe. At first, He was often scolded by the manager due to his waywardness. He even wanted to quit but finally, he stuck with it. Two months later, he became much more mature and independent. We are surprised to see his changes and I believe these qualities he gained from the part-time job will help him go further. Besides, the significance of taking a part-time job to make various friends can never be exaggerated. Taking a part-time job helps children to build their social networks and broaden their horizons. If someone works in a company, for example, Google, as an internship, it is very likely that he or she will have more contacts with excellent software engineers, product managers, and UI designers. And he or she will have a better understanding of what they are doing, what he or she can do in the coming future, all of which are conducive to future careers. Admittedly, teenage children may not adjust themselves to the complicated society in the beginning. However, it should never be the reason to escape from work. They have to experience these setbacks sooner or later, and part-time jobs are just their stepping stones. Actually, the earlier they are confronted with the obstacles from part-time jobs, the easier they would be when they are handling with real jobs in the future. In a word, a far as I am concerned, taking a part-time job is one of the best ways to prepare for their adult life and help them grow up as versatile people. Because not only it makes children more independent and responsible, but it also expands their circle and widens their horizons.April 19, 202001
- 文章表达流畅,条理清晰。我觉得你已经写得很不错了。我在一些细节做了修改。日本的方言每个地方都有自己的方言。 大体上可以分为东日本和西日本,并分别进一步细分。最常用<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">而</s>且最有影响力的方言当然是在以东京为中心的首都圈使用的关东方言。[这里的“常用”和“有影响力”之间没有转折关系,应该用并列关系]这个方言就是日语标准语的基础。其他有影响力的方言还有 “关西方言”。在电视上经常可以听到这个方言。 东京方言和关西方言口音完全不同,只要听了几句话,就能听出是关东人还是关西人。九州、东北地区和其他地区也有各种各样的方言。其中比较有名的有博多腔、广岛腔和津轻腔。此外,在冲绳地区使用的琉球方言和其他方言在语法、词汇、和发音方面有明显的差异。 传统的琉球方言,即使是日语母语者,也几乎都听不懂[使用“即使......也......”这个关联词会让表达更流畅]。 有些语言学家认为它是一种和日语不同的的“语言”(我个人也同意这个看法)。但是,需要注意的是,除了琉球方言外,人们基本上可以用各方言互相沟通[加上“人们”,读起来更通顺]。中国的“方言”包括吴语、闽语和粤语等,这些“方言”和官话难以互相理解[“理解”这个用法不对,你可以说“说这些‘方言’和官话的人难以相互理解”]。日本的方言并没有那么大的区别。 如果口音太重,可能有时候会有点听不太懂,但大多数情况下还不会影响互相沟通。0 votedApril 13, 20201
- Is it more important to work quickly and risk making mistakes than to work slowly and make it right? With the accelerating development of social productivity, there are an increasing number of people who work quickly and take risks frequently, whereas there are still some people who tend to keep a slow-paced life and try to make everything correct. From my point of view, I believe that risking frequently and working quickly is more crucial in modern society. Firstly, it meets the needs of our ever-changing environment. Take programmers in Internet companies for an example. Nowadays, the demands of customers and markets change so rapidly that there will be a lot of features to be added to a software product, for example, What's app. Otherwise, it may be at a disadvantage in the battle with its rivals, for example, Skype. In this case, as the saying goes, "Done is better than perfect.". Programmers must react and program quickly to implement the required functions although there may be some small bugs in their products. In addition, working quickly gives us a timely positive feedback. Because finishing a task in a short period of time affords us a sense of achievement. We can gain loads of skills quickly, become more confident, and have more time left to do something we really like, all of which serve as the wonderful catalyst that motivates us to work harder and progress faster. Therefore working quickly can be conducive to our improvement. Admittedly, working too quickly can lead to quite a few mistakes. Hence, working slowly seems to be a good option. However, there may be some problems in making sure every detail is perfect. Firstly, this process can be really time-consuming and tedious, which can be a psychological challenge for some people. Moreover, working slowly can bring about procrastination, which is not beneficial for our work. To sum up, as far as I am concerned, working quickly and risking making mistakes is of significance. Because not just does it satisfy the requirements of modern society that changes rapidly, but also it makes contributions to our personal improvement.April 13, 202020
