学习啦在线学习网 Restrict Smoking in Public Places?
Should we allow smoking in public places? Some people are against restricting smoking in public places. They argue that restricting smoking would set up two classes of citizens — smokers and nonsmokers — and would be very confrontational. Such restrictions give nonsmokers virtual dictatorial power to determine where smoking may not be permitted. Moreover, they argue that people working in the same office can't be segregated because they have to communicate with each other.I would argue, on the other hand, that people can't ignore the dangerous effects of second-hand smoke. According to available statistics, about 5,000 Americans die each year because of second-hand smoke. Smoking is slow-motion suicide and second-hand smoke is slow-motion murder. Therefore, smoking should be banned in schools, hospitals, sports arenas, convention halls, theatres or other public places where people have to stay or wait. Businesses that permit smoking at work can provide a room or segregate smokers in one part of a room with proper ventilation. What is more, employees will save money by reducing illness and absenteeism if smoking is restricted in public places.

遗憾的是，“三脚猫”已经过时了。过去如果一位女士或先生会唱一点，画一点，拉一点小提琴，那就是一种地位的标志。你不必很出色;问题是你很幸运，拥有这一份闲情逸致。但是在今天充满竞争的世界里我们甚至在业余爱好方面也必须是“专家”才行。

Paragraph 6: People can't enjoy dancing as entertainment. "Going dancing" doesn't anymore mean putting on a pretty dress and doing a few turns around the dance floor. Instead it means squeezing into tights and leg warmers, then sweating through six hours of warm-ups, five hours of ballet and four hours of jazz every week.Paragraph 9: People do not take up new hobbies since they don't have the time to perfect them. A woman does not want to learn a foreign language because she can't become fluent in the language within one year. Low level accomplishment only embarrasses her.
学习啦在线学习网 Paragraph 12 echoes Paragraphs 1 and 2, for both deal with the author's life experiences of doing hobbies just for the sake of entertainment or physical development. The author strongly believes that people should enjoy their "creative fooling around" and that they don't have to be "experts" in everything so long as they are good at one or two other things.

A Small Act of Kindness
Once I was traveling in a small poverty-stricken town in South Africa. On a bus a woman gave a package of biscuits to a poor and hungry child she didn't know. This small act of kindness cost her little but it brought great joy to the child and some comfort to the grandfather who carried the child on his back.
The effect of that act might have stopped there but it didn't. Other people on the bus saw and felt drawn to the child and his silent guardian. They opened their hearts and became interested in the plight of these two. Many people on the bus offered whatever they had to help them. There is no telling what kindness to others this remembrance will lead to. I shared the story with my teachers and classmates upon my return. It touched their hearts and made them more aware of others.
学习啦在线学习网 Many say that one person can not make a difference in society but this is wrong. From one woman's kindness on a bus, many others learned about compassion. And from each of them, many others will also learn the power of compassion. (191 words)
