Since China opened its door to the outside world in 1979, Beijing has made remarkable achievements in attracting foreign business to invest in joint ventures. According to the pie chart, Hong Kong investment ranks first, accounting for 44 percent of the total. Japan’s investment makes up 19.2 percent in second position. The third is the United States at 16 percent.

It is generally believed that Beijing benefits a lot from the outside investment. In the first place, a large number of joint ventures contribute greatly to the development of Capital Economy. Secondly, the foreign-invested enterprises offer a lot of jobs to the residents in Beijing. This in turn relieves the problem of laid-off workers in the city. Finally, the high-tech enterprises in the capital will grow rapidly which will improve the competitive competence of Beijing.

As far as the measures to attract outside investment are concerned, I think they are as follows. On the one hand, we should make special efforts to improve the investment environment. On the other hand, we should take advantage of this opportunity to run the present foreign-invested enterprises efficiently.

In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind. Despite the girl's youth and beauty, it is the disabled man who is truly beautiful. True beauty comes from one's actions rather than one's appearance.

While most of us enjoy pretty appearances, it is more important to cultivate a clean and beautiful soul. Only such souls can create a genuinely beautiful society. Chinese traditionally uphold the virtues of modesty, generosity, broad-mindedness, and politeness. Confucian teaching such as: “do not do to others as you would not want done to you” is wise and worthwhile. If people embody this teaching, our society can only improve and progress. ?

We should behave ourselves in the public and set good examples for others. We should always be willing and able to learn from those around us who do good to our society.

学生的任务不仅仅是在学习上取满分

范文

The drawing shows that a student is trying his best to reach the full score of important subjects including English, math, physics, and Chinese while neglecting the more important aspects such as psychological quality and moral standards.

The implied meaning of the drawing may be that academic achievements are not all that a student needs. If we lack fine psychological quality, we can not bravely face ups and downs in our life, work, and study. What’s more, high moral standards are also a must for every student. Most often, even though a student possesses profound academic knowledge, he can not be beneficial to the society due to his low moral standards. It is often reported in our daily newspapers that university undergraduates and graduate commit crimes. Ma Jiajue, a student in Yunnan University, is a case in point. In sum, psychological quality and moral standards should be taken into account in terms of students’ education.

Counter-measures must be taken immediately. First of all, we must take a right attitude toward students’ development. What’s more, our government must intervene in students’ education to ensure a right and healthy environment of development.

As is vividly betrayed in the drawing above, a milk salesman is promoting a bottle of milk, which is marked with “next year” as its production date.

The aim of the painter of the drawing is to reveal the fact of credibility crisis which is getting increasingly serious in our modern society. Credibility crisis should be the uppermost in our thoughts. Otherwise, our society is bound to deteriorate. Living in our society, people will suffer instead of enjoying the civilization and happiness of modern society because the society is filled with dishonesty and deception. Fuyan milk powder is a case in point. The fake milk powder killed many innocent babies, which has cast doubt on the credibility of human beings. It is not hard to spot cases of such kind in the field of education, medicine, accounting, entertainment, etc.

Counter-measures to deal with credibility crisis should be taken so as to return people a safe place to live in and to ensure people a healthy society. Most importantly, laws must be established to severely punish those who misbehave in terms of credibility
