1. Is It Up to Students to Evaluate Teachers?
The past few years have witnessed a mounting number ofuniversities allowing students to evaluate their teachers and even decide if they can stay on their positions or not. To this practice, people’s attitudes differ considerably. Some applaud it warmly whereas others criticize and even condemn it harshly。
Proponents of the practice may list the following reasons. In the first place, they assert thatstudents are the people who know the most clearly about the teaching performance of a teacher, so they should have the say in evaluating him or her. In the second place, they contend thatstudents have paid for their education, so they have the right to decide which teacher should be employed。
Opponents, however, point out that it is dangerous toleave the right to students to evaluate teachers. For one thing,students may not know what ought to be taught and how it should be taught; they may only judge a teacher according to his temper and even accent or appearance.For another,in order to please students, some teachers may resort to some improper means。
Personally, I believe that both views are justifiable, and we should achieve a balance between them by employingthe evaluating approach in a reasonable and beneficial way. To be specific,students should be allowed toevaluate their teachers, butthey may not be the only decision-maker in the teachers’ fate。
(Personally, I think that both sides have something right.Actually,lottery games should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with both benefits and troubles. But we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The best policy, as I see it, is to maximize their advantages and eliminate their unhealthy side-effects. Or in other words, we should further developlottery games and exert proper supervision over them so that they can benefit us in a better way。)

My View on Plastic Surgery
The past few years have witnessed a mounting number ofpeople undergoing plastic surgery. To this practice, people’s attitudes differ considerably. Some applaud it warmly whereas others criticize and even condemn it harshly. Personally, I am opposed toplastic surgery, and I base my position on the following reasons。
In the first place, I deem thatphysical appearances are always of less great importance than inner beauty and practical ability. In the second place, I am definitely opposed to the concept thatthere is an established norm of beauty. Instead, I hold thatbeauty, even in the physical sense, manifests itself in varied ways.Last but not least,as is well known, plastic surgery can be very dangerous, resulting in some irreversible injuries。
Indeed, there are some individuals whohave achieved success in their career or life with the help of plastic surgery, but it must be pointed out that they belong to the absolute minorityand that their success depends far more than their improved physical appearance。
Taking into consideration all the above-mentioned, we may safely come to the conclusion thatplastic surgery is definitely unnecessary for normal people. We should focus more on our inner world and try to attract others with our personality and intelligence。

College Students Playing Truant
The past few years have witnessed a mounting number of college students playing truant. Taking a look around, one can find examples too many to enumerate.Sometimes, even less than half of the students in a class attend the lecture。。
A number of factors may be responsible for this phenomenon. Personally, I can come up with the following ones. In the first place, there exist faults withthe arrangement of curriculum. In other words, some courses are irrelevant, or far beyond or below students. In the second place,some teachers are responsible for the phenomenon.Their teaching is far from attractive or efficient. Lastly, there exist reasons on the part ofstudents, many of whom have become restless under the influence of some social trends。
This phenomenon is definitely unhealthy and requires remedying. Naturally, measures should be taken in the three aspects mentioned above. For one thing, it is imperative thatthe school perfect its arrangement of courses.For another,teachers should be constantly urged toimprove their work. Last but not least,students should be warned againstsome vicious trends in society and concentrate on their study. Only with these measures taken can we expect a solution of the problem。

A Curse Can Be a Blessing in Disguise
A famous saying goes that“A curse can be ablessingin disguise”. Simple as the saying is, its meaning is profound and thought-provoking. Evidently, it is meant to tell us thatunfavorable conditions can one day prove to be favorable ones ant that we should not be indulged in depression after we have met setbacks。
Actually, history abounds with examples to prove this saying. Taking a look around, we can also find examples too many to enumerate. Here I can think of no better illustration of the proverb than the experience of my own.Though performing well enough in the college entrance exam, I was only provided with the opportunity to enroll in a second-class university. However, I did not lose my heart. Instead, I found the remoteness and quietness of the campus a favorable condition for my study. In terms of English, I have passed CET-4 with a high score. Now I believe I can do the same with my CET-6.
Bringing what has been discussed into a conclusion, we may say thata curse can also turn into a blessing. So, one should notindulge himself in bitterness and complaint after he meets setbacks. What he really has to do is toseek opportunities and turn adversities into favorable conditions. In a word, we should truly understand the profound meaning of the proverb and take the right actions in our life and work in the future。
