The reaction essay for hunger games

In Suzanne Collins’ book named “The Hunger Games”, the background story was set in future North America, a country named “Panem” was founded ruined. There were twelve districts in the country and the key city named “capitol” is in the middle of those districts. Every year, twelve districts were forced to send boys and girls aged between 12 and 18 each year to go to the Hunger Games.This game is  a cruel and terrible contest, all those boys and girls must fight to the death, and the last survivor was the winner. The female protagonist Katniss came from District 12. She participated in the hunger games to replace her sister who was chosen at first. Survival was an instinct of 16-year-old Katniss, she always went hunting in the forest to feed her mother, sister and herself. She knew it might mean death to her if she replaced her sister to participate in the hunger games. Finally, she and the boy, Peeta, who came from the same area as hers survived in the end. They conquered the audience, so they both lived.
This book wrote a lot about Katniss’s mental activities. The author used quite a number of paragraphs to show how a 16-years-old girl won the race step by step. She reminded me of a motto in China, “if you do not experience wind and rain, how can you see the beautiful rainbow in the end”.

In our life, we will have difficult times. Sometimes, it may even let us to despair. For example, when I was in middle school, I was so over-weighted that I barely have any friends. At that time, I felt that my life was hopeless. However, my math teacher, who was an out-going women, encouraged me to talk with my classmates more often, let them know more about myself. Meanwhile, she also encourage me to exercise more, and told me how to become physically strong and healthy. Because of her encouragement, I was changed. I started to talk with my classmates and trained everyday. Now, I have become an outgoing person myself. This book has also taught us that when we have difficulties in our life, we should not avoid it. Instead, we should face it bravely, and try to figure out a possible solution. With faith, I believe that anything is possible.

Argument essay: Environmental Pollution In China

One day in the class our teacher Vincent asked us what controversial problems you knew in the world and almost all Chinese students said “Environmental pollution”.In China, the environmental pollution has became the most serious problem. As there are more and more cars and factories, our environment became worse day by day. Therefore, I believe we should look into the major causes of the pollution, how they have damaged he environment, and the possible ways to reduce the existing pollution.

The first major cause would be the fast economic development. As we all know that China is one of the fastest developing countries in the world,  our major focus is on making money to let more Chinese people live a better life. Normally, when a nation’s economy starts to boom, it would most likely develop industrial industry. Not surprisingly, more and more people have discovered that chemical engineering industry can make money easily. Therefore,  many people who have the money and still want more starts to build factories. In China you can easily find smokestacks, and many cities have been overwhelmed by a "pungent smell”. Many chemical and industrial enterprises are built along rivers so that they can dump toxic waste into water easily that leads to the river being polluted.

The second major cause would be the automobiles. In China, we have about 217 million automobiles. Everyday, you can see a ”long dragon” on the road. In the morning you don’t need to set an alarm to wake you up, the noise can make you wake naturally. If you go pass the cars, you can hardly breath. People are suffering from sound pollution and toxic emission everyday. Not only our health conditions suffer, but more severaly, our environment is suffering as well.

Last but not least, pesticide abuse is also a major contributing factor to pollution. In China, the farmers always use a lot of pesticide to keep the vegetables fresh. For example, in my hometown, we have a famous fruit called winter jujube. I remembered my grandfather told me the winter jujube was hard to live without pesticide, and those pesticide could hardly be washed off by running water. On one hand, it is understandable to a degree that the farmers are only trying to make a living by using pesticide to keep the fruits and vegetables fresh. On the other hand, the over-use of pesticide has already poisoned our land. As the land become less fertile, farmers would move to another land and continue to use pesticide. It is simply a vicious cycle.

As people always say, it is never to late to do something. I believe the environmental pollution in China could still be “cured” if we start right now. First, the government should come out more harsh punishment for over-dumping toxic waste into the river. And at the same time, they should set up some rewards for factories that have a good record to keep their toxic dumping within acceptable range. Certain tax deduction would be a good idea. Second, the city has to limit the automobiles on the street, especially during morning rush hours. And the government should encourage more and more people to take public transportation like subways and buses to go to work. In this way, we could see a significant reduction in the air pullution level. Third, the farmers should seek for alternatives for the pesticides. Acturally, there are more environmental friendly pesticides in the market. If the local government could introduce these products to the farmers, or increase the publicity of certain “green” pesticide products, the problem caused by pesticide abuse could also be solved.

In conclusion, there are many factors that could contribute to environmental pollution, and fast economic development, automobil emission, and pesticide abuse has become the main causes of environmental pollution in China. These factors have caused serious damage to the environment, and to our health as well. Therefore, the earlier we could start to solve the problems, the better our life would be. We cannot develop our country in the expense of polluting our environment. The development would not last long. Instead, we should implement more sustainable way so that we could eventually become a truly “developed” country.
