In the new millennium, text message is set to become an essential feature of individuals’ life. It comes no surprise that a vast majority of people are indulged in sending and receiving short message, considering the great pleasure and convenience it brings about. Still, there are some others viewing text message as a curse of modern life, for it cause extra waste and do harm to our health.
Text messaging, as a means of communication, shortens the distance between people, which, many believe, is one of its apparent advantages. By sending regards to them via short message, we can not only maintain contact with our friends and relatives, but share pleasure with them as well. Another benefit obtained from text message is the convenience for people to keep up with the latest information they need whatever they go and whatever they do. For instance, a large number of people have subscribed to various short-message services ranging from weather forecast to fashion news and enjoy them very much. Accordingly, with text message people’s daily life will be greatly enriched.
Truly, apart from those benefits, text messaging might have its drawbacks. But it is my view that its negative impacts depend, to a large extent, on how it is used. As a consequence, if we make proper use of it, short message will never do us more harm than good. (228 words)
在新的世纪，手机短信被视为个人生活中的一个重要特征。毫无疑问，考虑到它所带来的巨大快乐与方便，很多人沉迷于收发短信。然而，由于它能造成额外的浪费并损害我们的健康，有些人认为短信是现代生活的一个弊端。
手机短信作为一种沟通工具，缩短了人们之间的距离。很多人认为这是它的一个显著优点。通过短信问候亲友，我们不仅可以和他们保持联系，也可以与他们分享快乐。从短信中获得的另一个优点就是：无论人们去哪里或做什么，都能方便人们了解最新信息。例如，很多人订阅了从天气预报到时尚快讯的各种短信服务。因此，短信极大丰富了人们的日常生活。
除了这些优点，手机短信确实也有缺点。但在我看来，它的负面影响在很大程度上取决于人们如何使用。因此，如果我们适当使用，手机短信绝不会对我们弊大于利。

Currently, there is a widespread concern regarding the previously neglected connection between growing human population and decreasing wild species. As the two graphs obviously portrayed, American population in 1980 was 250 times than that in 1800, a trend accompanied by the extinction of nearly 70 kinds of wildlife in the past 300 years. A clear correlation is suggested that mankind has exerted a tremendously negative influence on natural resources.
There are a great many causes responsible for the aforementioned tendency. To begin with, to satisfy the space demand for booming population, the only available solution for Americans is to take occupation of forests and grasslands that used to be the habitat of wild animals and plants. In addition, the process of industrialization and urbanization has generated severe pollution that essentially destroys environment and ecosystem.
In my point of view, the dearth of wild species today forecasts an unpromising future for humans tomorrow. In order to eliminate species extinction, relevant laws and regulations must be established and enforced to maintain a large portion of unspoiled areas. Drastic measures should also be applied to ensure that the impact of pollution be removed.
近年来人们开始普遍关注以前被忽略的人口增长和自然物种减少之间的关系。正如两幅图表显示，1980年的美国人口是1900年的250倍，同时在过去的300年间大约有70种野生生物在美国灭绝。这清楚表明人类给自然物种带来了巨大的负面影响。
以上趋势是由诸多原因造成的。首先为了满足迅速增长的人口对于空间的需求，对于美国人来说唯一有效的解决办法就是占据森林和草原，而这些地方曾是野生动植物的栖息地。此外，工业化和城市化的进程造成了严重的污染，在根本上摧毁了环境和生态系统。
我认为，今天野生动物种类的灭绝和数量的减少预示着将来人类并不明朗的前景。为了减少物种灭绝，我们应该制定并执行相关的法律法规来保留大部分的原始生态区。同时，我们也应该采取有效的措施来确保消除污染的影响。

The majority of people would agree that cigarette smoking has caused serious problems. But the tobacco companies insist that they contribute greatly to the world economy by paying taxes to the government and employing hundreds of workers.
Personally, I believe that cigarette production and consumption threatens to do more harm than good. Firstly, smoking is responsible for many fatal diseases such as lung cancer, heart diseases and so on. According to the survey, tobacco consumers account for about 20% of the world population, and among them, three million people die from smoking-related decreases every year. The fact that the output of tobacco production is reduced from 14.364 billion pounds in 1994 to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995 also suggests that people have come to realize the negative effects of smoking. Secondly, tobacco consumption is extremely wasteful of money. As is indicated in the pictures, 200 billion US dollars is lost due to smoking each year. Obviously, the total loss of money around the globe substantially exceeds the gain in the industry.
In conclusion, as the economic development aims at making our life better, we cannot sacrifice our health for short-term financial benefits. If we have to spend more and more money providing medical services for those who suffer from smoking-related illnesses, the notion of promoting economy via tobacco production is not justifiable. It is high time that we fought for the total tobacco ban.
大多数人认为吸烟已经导致了严重的问题。然而烟草公司声称他们通过给政府纳税和雇佣成百上千的工人，从而为世界经济做出了巨大的贡献。
个人而言，我认为烟草的生产和消费弊大于利。首先，吸烟是导致诸如心脏病、肺癌等很多致命疾病的原因。根据调查，烟民大约占世界人口20%，而在他们中间，每年有300万人死于与吸烟相关的疾病。世界烟草总产量从1994年的143.64亿磅下降到1995年的142亿磅的事实，也证明了人们已经逐渐意识到吸烟的负面影响。其次，烟草消费非常浪费金钱。如图所示，每年由于吸烟损失2000亿美元。显而易见，全球金钱总损失明显超过工业受益。
总而言之，由于经济发展旨在改进人民生活，我们不能为了短期经济利益牺牲健康。如果我们不得不花费越来越多的钱为那些受吸烟相关疾病所困扰的人群提供医疗服务的话，那么通过烟草生产来发展经济的观念就站不住脚了。我们早就该进行一场全面禁烟的战役了。
