The probability that any person should ever be qualified for the employment to which he is educated, is very different in different occupations. In the greater part of mechanic trades, success is almost certain; but very uncertain in the liberal professions. Put your son apprentice to a shoemaker,
there is little doubt of his learning to make a pair of shoes, but send him to study the law, it is at least twenty to one if ever he makes such a proficiency as it will enable him to live by the business. In a perfectly fair lottery,those who draw the prizes ought to gain all that is lost by those who draw the blanks. In a profession where twenty fail for one that succeeds, that one ought to gain all thatshould have been gained by the unsuccessful nineteen. The counsellor at law, who, perhaps, at near forty years of age, begins to make something by his profession, ought to receive the retribution, not only of his own so tedious and expensive education, but of that of more than ten others who are never likely to make anything by it. How extravagant soever the fees of counsellors at law may sometimes appear, their real retribution is never equal to this.
Those professions keep their level, however, with other occupations, and notwithstanding these discouragements, all the most generous and liberal spirits are eager to crowd into them. Two different causes contribute to recommend t, the desire of the reputation which attends upon superiorexcellence in any of them; and, secondly, the natural confidence which every man has, more or less, not only in his own abilities, but in his own good fortune.
To excel in any profession, in which but few arrive at mediocrity, is the most decisive mark of what is called genius or superior talents. The public admiration which attends upon such distinguished abilities, makes always a part of their reward;a greater or smaller in proportion as it is higher or lower in degree. It makes a considerable part of it in the profession of physic;a still greater perhaps in that of law; in poetry and philosophy it makes almost the whole.

Weather affects all of us in one way or another, directly or indirectly. For example, good weather makes us happy, bad weather makes us sick and depressed. Besides, on a fine day, we can go out for a walk or play a game in the open. On a rainy day, however, we can only stay indoors. In a word, weather is part of life for all of us. We are concerned about weather. The first thing that many of us do after getting up is to see what the weather is like.
With knowledge of the weather, people can arrange work and life of the day. If it is fine, we may decide to go on a picnic. If it is cloudy, we will have to take a raincoat or an umbrella with us when we are leaving our houses. Whatever the weather may be, we tend to adjust our activities to it accordingly.
In order to know what the weather will be, special people are hired to provide the information.
They collect data, analyze them and predict the weather of the coming day. Such information, which is announced on the radio or on TV, is usually very accurate. Thanks to the efforts of those professionals, we can always know the weather inadvance and get prepared for it.

More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training classes or having family teachers at the weekend . There are two different viewpoints about it.
Some people think that it is necessary t , they can learn better with the help of the teachers than by themselves. Second , they can strengthen what they learn in class. Third , they can get more useful things in those classes.
However , other people insist that it is not necessary. For one thing, students will not listen carefully in their normal classes if they can get the same knowledge in training classes. For another thing, most senior students haven’t enough time to rest . What’s worse, the purpose of most of the training classes and family teachers is to earn money.
In my opinion, a training class or family teacher is not necessary. We can study well at school if we work hard.
Should Men and Women Be Equal?
People have different ideas about this issue, Some people say that men are superior to women in ability because men are physic
ally stronger, do most of the hard labor in the world and hold most important positions. Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.
Chinese education is always believed to be intense and inhuman, because so many children bury themselves in studying all the time. The program for foreign students studied in China became hot issue, which attracts Britain people to keep searching the Asian education. Now they make the plan to send three students to study in Korea.
The three students contain different levels. They lived with different roomates. The first day they met the big problem of waking up. They needed to get up at 6 o’clock, while in Britain they had class in 9 o’clock. When they struggled to sit in the classroom, the teacher tested their level. The foreign student with highest level felt hard to answer the question, while for most Korean students, they felt it was so easy.
When the class was finally over, it seemed to be relax, but for Korean students, there was another class waiting for them. Most of them needed to take training course just to improve their study until 10 P.M. The foreign students couldn’t believe, they kept studying all the time and had no time to play.
When they went back to their country, they felt so happy and lucky. Asian students are thought to be smart, for they spend so much time to study.
On Uncivilized Behaviors
We cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in our daily lives, such as spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words in public places and so forth. All these are bad manners that we should not lose sight of. As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years, China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinese citizen should feel ashamed of. Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese both at home and abroad have seriously affected China’s image, according to an editorial posted on People Daily’s official website.
As Chinese, we should not get offended when others point out our weaknesses but should focus more attention on improving ourselves. We should strive to identify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminate them. There are a host of causes, I would argue, behind this trend. To name only one: the lack of moral education. The government should wage a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor to behave decently in our daily lives. As college students of the new age, we should take the leading role.

My Favourite detective
In the world of detective novels, Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly the most famous one. But for me, the greatest detective in novels is Hercule Poirot, a little Belgian who always uses his little grey cells to find the truth.
I really appreciate him for various reasons, such as his having an insight into other people's psychology, his understanding on hunman nature and his being merciful. But most improtant thing is that he looks more like a real human being, compared with Holmes or other legend detectives. He has such a funny appearance, an egg-shaped head and exaggerated moustache . He enjoys delicious cuisine and focuses on his own dressing. He is always humor and likes to mock himself. he prefers to stay with young peole for being attracted by their vigor and energy. And there are still so many lovely features of him I can list.
Anyway, I like him and appreciate him. I always get touched by the philosophy of life in his storys. Hercule Poirot is indeed my favourite detective.
Everyone has a lot of dreams. Some people want to be rich, dreaming of becoming millionaires overnight. Others want to be famous, dreaming of suddenly jumping to great fame. I have a lot of dreams, I'll talk about my dream i What is my dream? I often ask myself. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a soldier with a gun so that I could defend our motherland. Now I am a young boy with a new dream——to be a doc-tor. I want to be a famous doctor, helping the sick and saving their lives. Why has my dream changed? Well, at the age of 11 I was ill, badly ill. I was told that I had cancer. I had to leave both my school and my friends and go to the hospital. Every day I suf-fered the troubles caused by this illness. I also saw some people who were suffering and dying of ill-nesses. I made up my mind to become a doctor, so that I can help the sick people and cure them of their diseases.
China is a develop-ing country. She needs good medicine and good doctors, especially in the countryside and lonely villages. I want to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. I want to let them have an opportunity to receive excel-lent treatments for their illnesses without having to pay much or any money. I'll do every bit to cure the incurable. I hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal diseases. I'm confident that through the joint efforts of you and me, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this dream of mine will one day be brought into reality.
Many people like watching TV. TV brings the outside world into people’s homes. People say the world is smaller than before because of TV. What is going on in other countries?How do people live in places far away? What sports do people play in other countries?
If you want to know the answers to these and other kinds of questions, just turn on the TV. Of course people can also learn through reading books or listening to the radio,but many say they learn more by watching TV. Why? Because they can listen to and watch it.
TV opens our eyes to the outside world,at the same time also helps to open our minds. TV often gives us new ideas. We learn newer and better ways of doing things.

Love makes the world go around.
Love to us human is what water to shines the most beautiful light of humanity,we born in it,we live by often we take it as granted,but we should know love is a priceless gift we should how to cherish the love?I have heard a saying :the quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
It is important for us to learn to love as the first class in our when you know how to love than you will be a real man in this brings us warmth in the fearful coldness,love brings us bright when life gets hard and brings us confidence toward life when we are tired out and want to give up.

Different people have different opinions about what a good friend shouldbe. My classmates think that good friends are supposed to share happiness andhelp each other. However, not everyone can share sadness with you. Those peopleare not real friends.
I think good friends can consider things while standing in your shoes. Theyalso think about other people. They put other people as priority instead ofthemselves. Good friends should be honest, kind and have a sense ofresponsibility. Without honesty, people cannot trust each other and they can'tshare their deepest thoughts or secrets. Good friends should also be goodlisteners. They can hear your sadness and help you go through the bad can always trust your good friends.
In short, I think good friends should be kind and honest. They should alsobe willing to help you and share your sadness.
As a saying goes,"Where there is a will, there is a way".

Smoking should be banned Nowadays, tobacco is more harmful than drug to people's health, therefore many people think that smoking isn't banned that is a direct and primary reason to induce this kind of problem
The main reason is that tobacco is a silent killer to smokers According to a WHO report four million people die yearly from tobacco-related diseases, that is one death every eight seconds
Another reason is that more and more young people are under 18 years old who smoke cigarette have been blinded by the deceit of tobacconists Smoking among adolescents rose in the 1990s in several developed countries， such as China, Vietnam and Thailand Tobacco is a global threat Because of tobacco smuggling, the legal retailing and distribution systems are badly affected, and faced with increased lawlessness and heavy tax losses
In conclusion, smoking should be banned, because of the hazard it poses to people's health.
My mother is sixty-three years old, and for the last forty year she has been the village doctor.

The villagers always like to come to her clinic to see the doctor and to meet their neighbors, too. Almost all the villagers come to my mother when their baby is due. My mother is very good at predicting the day the baby will come.
Sometimes my mother will not get enough sleep if the babies come late at night or early in the morning. There are special rooms for the mother and baby, and usually they stay at the doctor's house about twenty-four hours. We always like to see the new babies get their first bath because they look so red and small. All the village people know and trust my mother because she is such a quiet, kind, and experienced friend of theirs.
