    At the beginning , I found that many students did not hand in（上交）their homework , so I was a little worried . I shouted at the students . It made the students angry . One girl asked : “ Why are you shouting at me ? You're making it seem like it is all my mistake（错误）. ” Then I found that , it was my mistake in fact . I should talk to my classmates in a kind way and not get so angry .

    After this , I changed（改变）how I spoke . “ Excuse me . Could you please finish your homework ? ” I said . Later , I was surprised that many students understood me a lot better and finished their homework quickly.

    It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in people's lives. But, there is a heated discussion as to whether television does good or harm.

    Television keeps one learning more about present events, allows one to follow the most re­cent developments in politics and science, and offers various programs which are .both instructive and exciting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room or house.

    However, some people insist that television is bad rather than good. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. Children are now so used to getting their information and entertainment from television that their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar(庸俗的) advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad tastes, shape their view points badly towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be destroyed.

    In a word, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one point is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society.

    All robots should be able to protect their owners. My robot is as powerful as the famous hero Robocop. But it is much smaller. It looks like a student. We go to school together every day. But when there is an emergency (紧急情况), it will protect us students and fight against the bad guys(家伙) at once.
