the last one.
In the end, I think that the best way to learn about life is by experiencing it firsthand. No one else
can teach you how to get along with other people, how to realistically judge your own abilities, or
how to understand who you are. You can only learn these things by dealing with situations every
day. Experience is the best teacher.

Nowadays it is quite common for people to immigrate to ther countries. When they move, some of
them decide to follow the customs of the new country while others prefer to keep their own. If I
were forced to agree with one of the two positions, my choice would be the former.
To illustrate my point, let us first take a look on why some people dislike the idea of following the
customs of the new country. For one thing, these people are so accustomed to their own culture,
religion and customs, and it is very hard for them to accept the new cultures. For instance, people
from a Islamic country may find a lot of customs in western countries offensive.
Although I agree that some customs are hard to change, I insist that the advantages of adapting to
a new culture are apparently seen. In the first place, by following the customs of the new country,
you can learn about the country and understand the people more easily and become a real
member of the country. People who stick to their way of life may sometimes feel lonely and
isolated. To share the same custom means that having more things in common, and it can pull
people together. Furthermore, you have to adapt to some customs of the new country, if they are
written into the law. As a result, it is much more sensible to do as the Roman do.
In conclusion,I believe that the advantages of following the customs of the new country is obvious
because you can easily learn about the country and be a real member of it. What is more, you can
live more easily in a foreign country.

Some people adapt quickly to the customs of a new country while others keep their own customs.
How do they decide? It's a difficult choice, and the decision is not always conscious. Many
practical and social factors influence people.
Very often it depends on age. Older people have spent a lifetime doing things a certain way. Their
social customs are part of who they are as people. It's very hard for them to start doing things
differently. The younger generation finds it easier to leave behind the culture of their native
country and adapt to the customs of their new country. They're not as set in their ways as adults
are. Children also feel the pressure to fit in from the other kids in school.
A major part of adapting to the customs of a new country is learning that country's language.
Children learn the language in school, and use it all day while going to class and playing with other
children. But many times adults coming to a new country don't have time for formal language
classes. Their first priority is getting a job. Sometimes they work with people from their own
country, and they don't-have to use the new language. Or they may find a job that doesn't require
much speaking at all. This means even if they're trying to learn the language, they don't have a lot

of opportunities to practice it.
Another way of adapting to the customs of a new country has to do with how family members
interact. Different countries have different ideas about how family members should relate to each
other. Sometimes the adults will oppose changing what was normal in their native country. This
can be a difficult adjustment to make, especially if their children are visiting new friends at home
and seeing how different things are in the new country.
I believe that people who want to make their home in a new country need to find a balance. They
should keep the best of their native culture and adopt the good things they find in their new
country.

If I had to choose between spending time alone or spending time with my friends, I'd rather be
alone. I need this time alone to "recharge my batteries," to re-energize my mind and spirit. Being

with friends can be fun and can help you get through the rough spots in life, but it's the time alone,
I think, that forms you as a person.
When I'm alone, I have time to think about my goals and to develop a strategy to reach them. Of
course, lean think about these things when I'm with others, but it's harder to concentrate in a
crowd. Being alone gives me the quiet time to really think about my life and what I want to do
with it.
Being by myself is also a good way to listen to the silence and relax completely. When I'm alone I
can practice meditation and lower my stress level. That's a very good way to sharpen my powers
of concentration. Too much time with friends means filling my mind with a lot of chitchat. That's
enjoyable for a moment, but can dull my concentration.
Being with other people can also distort my view of things. It's easy sometimes to become too
worried about what other people think of me, or what other people have that I don't. When I'm
alone I have time to step back. I can see the real value of things, without being influenced by the
opinions of my friends.
It's natural to want to be with other people, but I find the time I spend alone is more valuable to
me in the long run.

I think I prefer to have many different friends because we can learn more from having many
different types of friends. If we have just a few close friends, then we cannot learn as much as we
can if we have many friends. Therefore, I think it is better to have many different friends.
First, having many different friends can teach us about life and the world. I think you can learn
many things about many different countries if you know people from all over the world. For
example, if you have a friend from China and one from Iran, you can learn more about those two
countries. If you just have friends from your country, then you do not learn very much about the
world.

We can also have many different kinds of experiences if we have many different kinds of friends.

For example, some people like sports, others like music, still others like to study. If we have many
different friends with many different interests, then we can never feel bored and we can have a
happy life.
Finally, if we have many different friends, then maybe we can have more help from people when
we need it. For example, if we need some kind of help with something, but we don’t know too
many people, then it might be difficult for us to get help. However, if we know many people, then
it will be easy for us to find help when we need it.
Therefore, I believe that it is better to have many different friends in our lives. Having many
friends can teach us about the world, we can have more fun with different friends, and we can get
help more easily if we have many different friends.

We all need to have friends, and I think the more friends we have the better. Friendship helps us
learn how to trust others, what to expect from others, and how to profit from experiences. I want
to have a lot of friends around me sol can learn more about myself from different people.
I want to have people around me that I trust and that I can depend on. We all need friends, both in
times of trouble and in times of happiness. If I only have a few, friends, it impossible that they
might not be available if I need them. If I have a lot of friends, it is more likely that they will be
able to share my troubles or my good fortune.
I want to have people around me that surprise me. If I have just one or two friends, I know what
to expect from them. I know how they will react. If I have a lot of friends around me, I will
always be surprised. Each will have a different way of reacting to a situation. Observing this
reaction and responding to it will teach me how to deal with strangers whom I might meet.
I want to have people around me that can teach me something about life. If I only have a couple
of friends, I will know everything about them very quickly. If I have hundreds of friends, think
what I will learn. Each day they'll teach me something new and show me a new way of thinking
about something.
I have a lot to learn in life, so I want as many people as possible to help me. I want a lot of friends
to show me how to have a good time. I'll do the same for them.

There is much discussion above when should children begin to study? Some people think that
children should start learning as early as possible. Other people, however, argue that young
children could begin to study late. As far as I am concerned, young children should spend most of
their time playing and not begin studying too early.
Why do some people think that children should begin to study early? For one thing, children are
very good at learning because they have good memory and accept new things quickly. If they
waste their time when they are young, they probably need to spend much more time in learning

the same thing when they are older. As we all know, learning a foreign language is a pain to
adults, but is very easy to a child under ten.
Although I agree there may be one or two advantages for children to begin to study early, I insist
that the advantages of learning late far overweigh them. In the first place, people who spend most
of their time playing could be more creative. Learning more means that children can know more,
but also more restrictions will be pushed on them. If children play more, they may find many
things interesting in their playing and raise many questions, such as "why can this happen", "Can I
invent such a thing to help me?" As a result, they always have more wonderful thoughts than
those who begin studying very early, which helps them to study and work creatively when they
grow up.
In the second place, children could be more anxious to learn when they grow up if they spend
most of their time playing. It is known that children like to play. Even if parents force them sitting
in front of the table, they cannot concentrate on the studying stuff. Instead, they are thinking how
to finish the study early and go to play. They will be bored in studying when they grow up, since
they think they study for their parents. But Children who spend most of their time playing do not
have the bad memory of studying. When they grow up, they will be willing to study even if
parents do not monitor them, because they feel they are studying for themselves.
In conclusion, I believe that young children should play more not only because that they will be

more creative, but also because they will be more anxious to learn when they grow up. Therefore,
I strongly hold that all parents should not push their young children into studying too early.

Should children play more or study more? The question is what will be better for the child. There
are benefits to both activities, but the answer depends on the details of the situation.
There are many things that could affect the outcome of the argument. What kind of a school is it?
It could be a school where children sit at their desks all day long memorizing dates and facts. Or it
could be a school where the teacher helps the children learn what they want to learn. I think the
second kind is a lot better for a child than the first kind.
Similarly, what kind of play are we talking about? The child could be alone all day long watching
television, which could make him or her bored and lonely. Or the child could be involved in group
activities with neighborhood children of the same age, which could help him or her learn how to
get along with others.
I think both study and play are valuable, so I mould prefer to send my child to a school where
there is a combination. I think a variety of activities makes learning easier for anyone at any age.

The first advantage of having a new university built in my community would be the jobs it would
bring to the community. Initially, the jobs would be those connected with the actual building of
the university structures, such as brick layers and carpenters. Once the buildings were completed,
the jobs would be those on the campus itself. Those would include teachers, office workers,
custodians, and librarians.

Not all of the people the university hired would already be members of the community, so that
would mean a lot of new people coming to town. Of course, a lot of students would come too.
Two advantages of new people in town would be more taxpayers and a more diverse population.

With more people paying taxes, there would be more money for schools, libraries and other
community needs. With a more diverse population, there would be new stores, new restaurants (to
serve different tastes) and new cultural influences.
Of course, there would also be disadvantages. More people living in the community could mean
more houses being built. There would be more traffic on the streets, with the combination of new
residents and students who bring their cars. Plus, more people would mean more public services
would be needed. These services could include everything from trash collection to more schools
to hold all the children of the new residents. New services might mean local taxes would have to
go up, even though there would be more taxpayers.
Another disadvantage is that the personality of our community would change. It would go from
being a place where everybody knows everybody else to a place where a lot of people are
strangers. It would become a place with a lot of short-term residents, like the university students,
who might not care as much about the town.
Communities always change over time, though, and overall I like the atmosphere of a "college
town. "A new university would bring a lot of challenges, but I think it would be worth it.

Although friends make an impression on your life, they do not have the same influence that your
family has. Nothing is as important to me as my family. From them, I learned everything that is
important. I learned about trust, ambition, and love.
Your family is with you forever. They are not going to leave you because they find another
daughter they like better. They are not going to leave you because they think you are too much
trouble. A family is permanent, while friends come and go.
Your parents are your role models. They will encourage you to do your best, to push yourself, and
to improve yourself. Friends want you to stay the same; they don't want you to be different. A
family is ambitious for you. Friends are not.
Your family teaches you about love. A family's love is not judgmental. They love you for
everything you are. Friends may love you because you have a new car or because you go out with
them on Saturdays. A family loves you. Friends only like you.

Without my family, I wouldn't know what to do. I wouldn't feel as secure. I might not have the
ambition to go to school. I probably would be afraid to love. My family is my greatest influence.

It is true that both of the family and friends play important roles in influencing young adults, and it
is really hard for us to tell which is the most important influence.
TWE Essays 175/292

In my opinion, the family plays the most important role. When a young child is born, he is brought
up by the family not by his friends, and a child has the keener sense in learning than a older one. I
think the family can mold the child in the following ways.
Firstly, the family is the first school a child should enter.There he learns and is taught how to
learn.It is safe to say that the character of a person is determined in his childhood, and when it is
the family which to make the determination.
Secondly, a good family will afford good education for the child. Now more and more Chinese
family realize the importance of education,some even make thire children study in foreign
countries.All this is unchoosable for the child,that is, the family has the undeniable influence on
the young adult.
Thirdly, when the child is in his young adult, the family still plays a important influence on him.
For instance, I always feel the expectation of my parents and struggle to favor them. Which is a
hard work, but I still think it is naturally that I, as a son, should meet the expectation of them.
Thus, the family is really a strong influence on the young.
I make the family the important influence doesn't deny that the role of friends on the young
adults. Only that friends' role is not as important as the family.

Both leisure time and working time form the whole parts of one’s life. Here leisure time has a
broad definition. Because of its importance, people face the dilemma whether to plan or not plan

for the leisure time. Which one I prefer depends on my own experiences, life style and emotional
concerns. To be frank, I prefer to plan in my point of view.
Before rendering my opinion in detail, it is necessary to take a glance at the position of not
planning at all. People who claim the opinion advocate that leisure time is the time for relaxing.
Enjoying the time is the most important, why they have to plan for it by taking time and energy. If
they want to watch TV, they will sit down to watch it without any hesitation. If they want to
swim, they will change to the swimming suits. Enjoy everything at any time.
It is true that there are some advantages about not planning for the leisure time, but I would
explain a few important reasons why I prefer to plan for it. The main reason is that planning for it
carefully can avoid a lot of troubles. To illustrate this, there is an example that is very persuasive.
Take swimming for example, if we plan it first, we would prepare the swimming suit, sun glasses,
towels, cream and so on for it. We can enjoy the swimming time fully and pleasantly without
forgetting anything.
Avoiding troubles is only part of the most important aspects, and another equally significant role
of planning lies in that we can promote our studying and working effectively. This demonstrates
the undeniable fact that suitable leisure time can help one to relax fully. For instance, when we
work or study for a whole week, we have a plan to spend the weekend in the seaside. It is
wonderful. Careful plan can make us fresh and exciting.
If all the factors are considered, we will find out that the advantages of planning for leisure time
outweigh those of not planning. It is true that both views have strong foundations, but no one can
ignore the added convenience and satisfaction offered by planning for it. Such experience will
