Nowadays,with the rapid increase of population,the problems of overloading in cities is becoming more and more serious around the world.

For instance,the resources such as education,jobs,health care that a city can supply is limited.So more populations mean that everyone living in the city have less welfare.In addition,the phenomenon of pollution can also be aggravating.And the traffic jams will disturb drives frequently.

In order to deal with the problems caused by overloading,in my opinion,Lowering the birth rate is the essential methods.On the other hand,another way which is executable to reduce the pressure of population in cities is to move people from cities to suburban areas.Of course,this need the help of governments.

In a nutshell,it is time for us to make efforts to control the population timely.

I am xxx. I was born in Changsha. I graduate from senior high school and major in English. I started learning English since I was 12 years old. My parents have a lot of American friends. That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. I used to go abroad for a short- term English study. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting. I could express one substance by using different sounds. So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

My family has a dog baby, it is purely German shepherd, very expensive. For the arrival of the whole family are very happy, this guy is too cute.

It is not covered with a trumpet, if you sleep in the snow, I am afraid that three days can not find. Its sharp ears, small and exquisite, vigilant up the vertical; black eyes, shiny light. That sensitive smell unparalleled, was V blood basin mouth is daunting, sharp teeth make it even more powerful. Its strong limbs support a strong body. See it so brave, I give it from the white tiger.

White Tiger Although it looks a bit scary, but actually not the case. Remember that my uncle had just given it to me, it opened his mouth, I can not help but be surprised: good sharp teeth ah! I do not know it bite or no bite. But after a few days, it is no stranger to me, and began to walk around me every day to the night market, I took it, provoke many curious talk about, some children also followed the white tiger to go, white tiger But gently walked in front of me open, not bite. I know that it is so gentle temperament.

White Tiger and I am familiar with, they became a good friend inseparable. Go to school every day, it must go with me. No way, I had to rush home again and again; every day after school, it ran out early to meet me, see me back, it put up his forepaws stretched out his tongue, shaking his tail stand downstairs wait for me. Whenever this time, I sorted out its white hair and went home with it.

My lovely white tiger is not big, but eat a lot of things. Every night, my mother will have to get another piece of meat to eat it, and the white tiger at this time to relish to enjoy the fragrant barbecue. But in order not to raise a fat dog, it should eat more vegetables. Every day the nutrition meal, by me to set.

Alas, my lovely pet dog! Really my good partner.

I was born in a small village of Shan Dong Province on April 4th, 1968. When I was young, my family was very poor, so I had to work to earn money to help my parents after class when I was in the middle school.

In 1986 I was admitted by University of International Business and Economics (or: UIBE) to pursue a bachelor degree in Economics. My major is accounting in Department of International Business Management. The undergraduate education gave me a wide range of vision and taught me how to cooperate with others. I developed several professional interests in Accounting, Finance, and International Trade.

The following eight-year working experience offered me a good chance to give full play to my creativity, intelligence and diligence. In 1990-1993, I worked as an assistant to funding manager in China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. In 1993-present, I was employed by China Kingdom Import and Export Corporation to be the Manger of Financial and Accounting Division.

I do believe that with my hard early life, solid educational background and ample working experience, I would be an excellent student of you MBA program.

MY PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT: After graduating from UIBE, I was employed as the assistant to the funding manager by China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. After reading a lot of related files, and analyzing the overall funding situation of the corporation, I found that the loan policy was not been put into effect. So we have thousands of millions RMB loan with very high interest rate while a large amount of cash in bank with very low interest rate was idle. I reported this to my supervisor, and then we studied and revised the loan policy. This revision saved the corporation approximately RMB thirty millions yuan. In order to raise the funding effectiveness, after one year’s hard work, I developed the internal banking system within the corporation based on the actual funding supply and need of the different divisions and projects. This internal banking system made full use of the corporation’ funding resources, and due to this, I was highly praised by the president of the corporation.

WHY CHOOSE YOUR MBA PROGRAM? After I have worked in business area for eight years, I feel that I need to continue my education by pursuing a Master degree in business administration. I have practiced my professional expertise in accounting, demonstrated my leadership abilities and perfected my communication skills. But I have yet to become an entrepreneur in my own right, and to fully master the art of modern business. I want to be trained more vigorously in scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. There are a lot of opportunities and challenges in China that I do not yet fell fully confident to seize. My business career has so far benefited mostly the companies that I worked for, but a good business education in your university will probably become a new era for me.

Your university is well known for its excellence in China’s business education. I am sure that, with my extensive business experience, I can be a worthy student of yours. I am anxious to benefit from your seasoned guidance and take advantage of your research facilities.

介绍自己学习英语的方法(introduced that oneself studies english the method)

now i’m going to share my experience of studying english with all of you.

i shall mention that speaking is the first skill we must learn by heart. the more we speak, the better we understand. and it’s good for you to try to speak well. as a language, english is really useful. so, we should practice it more, not only study for the examinations.

the next question is listening. if you can’t listen well, you won’t be able to understand what others say. perhaps you should do some more listening exercises when you are free, or talk with your teachers and friends in english more. reading after the tapes is also a good idea. in this way, you could try to imitate their pronunciation and improve your listening.

do you often read articles in english? i enjoy it very much. there are many great english storybooks and magazines in the stores. i have been reading the 21st century teens for a long time, and i think this copy of english newspaper is pretty good. if you are interested in them, read by yourself and you will find lots of fun from reading. and one day, you may fall in love with it.

some students may have a serious problem writing compositions. they worry about it but don’t know what to do, for their compositions are short and rambling, and they often make mistakes in grammar. of course, it’s a long process to improve your writing, but it’s not so difficult. for example, i have been keeping diaries in english since eight months ago. on the one hand, you could write more and get more experience in this way; on the other hand, you could express your feelings. isn’t it a good idea to kill two birds with one stone?

well, the most important thing is that you must think out why you study english so hard. i think i shall stress on this problem. don’t think of your test paper and marks now, think about your own life and the future of your homeland. that’s why we study so hard.

nothing is impossible in the world, believe it ,do it !

Gulangyu is an island separated from Xiamen city proper. Its like a garden on the water. The shade of the trees covers nearly the whole island. Cars, buses, bikes are not allowed to drive there. Everyone should walk. This makes the place very quiet so that music played by the violin or the piano can be heard here and there. It is the famous "Home of Music".

The Sunshine Rock is the highest place on the island, so it has become the symbol of Gulangyu. Standing at the top of the Sunshine Rock, one can see the landscape of the whole Xiamen ands other small islands. The sky and the sea meet on the horizon. Its said that people can see clearly the Jinmen Island through telescope when the sun is shining. There are gentle waves on the sea and lots of people are swimming.At the foot of the Sunshine Rock is Shuzhang Garden with its picturesque scenery. The Forty-four Bridge spans over the water like a white dragon. What a beautiful picture!

Yangzhou (simplified Chinese:扬州) is a prefecture-level city in central Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China. Sitting on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, it borders the provincial capital of Nanjing to the southwest, Huaian to the north, Yancheng to the northeast, Taizhou to the east, and Zhenjiang across the river to the south. Historically it is one of the wealthiest of Chinas cities, known at various periods for its great merchant families, poets, painters, and scholars.

Geography and climate

Rivers: the Yangtze River, Jinghang Canal, Baoshe River, Datong River, Beichengzi River, Tongyang Canal, Xintongyang Canal, Baima Lake, Baoying Lake, Gaoyou Lake, Shaobo Lake.

Local landscape: Slender west lake, Ge garden, He garden, Da ming temple, Phoenix island, etc. Subtropical monsoon climate with humid changeable wind; longer winters for about 4 months, summers 3 months and shorter springs and autumns, 2 months respectively; frost-free period of 222 days and annual average sunshine of 2177 hours. Average temperature: 15 °C annually; the hottest in July of 27.6 °C and the coldest in January of 1.7 °C; maximum temperature of 39.8 °C and minimum 19 °C

The annual average precipitation is 1,030 mm, and about 45 percent of rainfall is concentrated in the summer. The rainy season known as "plum rain season" usually lasts from mid-June to late July. During this season, the plums are ripening, hence the name plum rain.

Cuisine

Yangzhou dishes may be one of the reasons why the people of Yangzhou are so infatuated with their city. They have an appealing color, aroma, taste and appearance. The original color of each ingredient is preserved after cooking, and no oily sauce is added, so as to retain the fresh savor of the food.

In Yangzhou all dishes, whether cheap or expensive, are elaborate. Cooks will not scrimp on their work, even with Zhugansi (stewed sliced dry bean curd), a popular dish that costs only a few yuan. Dry bean curd is made by each restaurant that serves it, so the flavor is guaranteed. The cook slices the 1-cm-thick curd into 30 shreds, each one paper-thin but none broken, and then stews them for hours with chopped bamboo shoots and shelled shrimps in chicken soup. In this way the dry bean curd shreds can soak up the flavor of the other ingredients, and the soup is clear but savory. It is not only Yangzhou cooks but also the ordinary people who are conscientious about cooking.
