Buying Lottery Tickets

There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is a hotly debated topic in China today./ There is no denying the fact that buying lottery tickets is becoming popular in China today.Some people believe that it is beneficial in many ways.In the first place, it helps raise money for such groups as the poor and the disabled as well as for such causes as sports.(Thus, the heavy financial burden on the government will be relieved or even removed.)In the second place, lottery games provide people with a means of entertainment or pastime.(Without lottery games, many people might find nothing interesting to do.Last but not least, by buying lottery tickets, one may make a fortune overnight.)

Others, however, hold the opposite view.They say that buying lottery tickets is actually a kind of gambling.People are encouraged to earn money through guessing instead of downtoearth labor.As a result, some people are tempted to commit crimes.A case in point is the two bank clerks in Heibei who stole millions of money from the bank to buy lottery tickets.

Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the former.Lottery games can serve as a good means to raise funds.But the ticket buyers should keep in mind the original purpose of such games, that is, to help the underprivileged or to contribute to public welfare.If they happen to win the prizes, it’s nothing but a return for their kindness

 

Studying Abroad: Hardships and Rewards

There is no denying the fact that studying abroad is a hotly debated topic today.Obviously, studying abroad has a number of rewards/advantages.In the first place, a student can have access to advanced science and technology as well as desirable working conditions which might not be available at home.In the second place, he can be exposed to entirely new ideas and trends.Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than at home.

Nevertheless, as every coin has two sides, studying abroad also confronts one with a series of hardships.For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people.For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may also be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young.An added difficulty lies with finance: it can cost a lot to study abroad.

From my point of view, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its disadvantages.But it is a big decision to go abroad to study and one should take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding.Personally, I choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary
