Importance of Learning Basic Skills

In the picture, the teacher becomes so surprised and disappointed when one of her students questions whether the knowledge of multiplication she is teaching now will be out--dated in the job market. Just as the student in the picture, nowadays most people show their contempt for the basic skills.
And many reasons contribute to this phenomenon. For one thing, it is the fact that we are living in a world of fierce competition that urges us to arm ourselves with up-to-date professional skills so as to adjust to the changes of the society and the increasingly demanding employment standards. For another, most people hold the view that basic skills may not be applied to the practical use immediately so that they always ignore the importance of basic skills which are fundamentally good for creativity and innovation.
In my opinion, as far as I am concerned / From my own part you can do nothing with the greater opportunities if you are not equipped with such basic skills as reading and calculating skills. Therefore / hence, we should enhance the learning of basic skills so that we'll be better prepared for the further innovation.

Time to Save Our Health
Nowadays, the accelerating pace of modern society has pushed large numbers of people to a life of hustle and bustle all day long. As is showed in the picture, the once handsome and healthy superman has put on weight. And the prescription the doctor gives the superman is “less flying… more walking”, urging that it’s time for him to save his health. / pay attention to / attach importance to / lay stress on health.
Just as the superman in the picture, it is also high time for us to concern about our health. There are various ways for us to keep healthy. Firstly, a balanced diet with proper amounts of meat and nutritious vegetables is the fundamental step towards a robust body. Secondly, we must cut down the time we sit still in front of the TV and computers, and should go outdoors and take more exercise instead. Thirdly, maintaining good mood and mentality shield us from both the psychological and physical sufferings.
In conclusion, keep a balanced diet, take more exercise and maintain a good state of mind, we will surely be healthy physically and psychologically. So let’s start now!

The Harder You Work, The Luckier You Will Be
With the booming of the economy, the legends of success spring up every day, which leaves on people an impression that they can also achieve success only if they are lucky enough. With the words “always try your best”, the woman in the picture patiently helps the boy solve his perplexity.
Some people think that good luck is the first factor to success. They hold the idea, as a proverb goes, “Man proposes, god disposes.” So most successful people seem to have good luck in their way to make achievements. Therefore, they deem that good luck leads to success. However, others maintain that “no pain, no gain”. All agree that there is no royal road to success. People can only succeed when they work with whole-hearted devotion and perseverance. And almost all stories of successful people (like Steve Jobs) demonstrate that hard-working is the decisive factor to success.
In my view, hard working brings you good lucks to success. Therefore, we must try our best and get prepared so that we can make full use of opportunities to achieve success.

Money is Not Everything
The cartoon shows a fat middle-aged man seeing his doctor, saying “Money is my drug of choice for anxiety”. From the scene and his words, we know that the man may be suffering from an anxiety disorder and he thinks having money can remove his anxiety.
In my opinion, money can remove our anxieties about material things like food, clothes, children’s education, etc. But money is not everything. Take time and life for example. No matter what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make the day last longer than 24 hours. Suppose there is a millionaire who possesses everything except good health. By the time he is suffering from a fatal illness, what he wants most is life. Though money can get him first-rate doctors and the best medical care, it can not buy him a longer life.
Money, moreover, is the root of all evils. Being greedy for money, some people break the law and do all kinds of evil things. In the case, money may bring them tragedies. Therefore, money is not everything, and sometimes it is nothing.
