Making good use of electronic devices
Group: Class 88, Senior 2
Introduction
The past decade has witnessed rapid changes in the way people acquire knowledge.
They rely more on electronic devices like tablets, through which up-to-date
knowledge covering all aspects of life is spread. Indeed, the tablet is a double-edged
sword, but many teachers tend to regard it as a curse, banning its use at school
completely regardless of its benefits.
Proposal
Teachers can help us take advantage of such devices by introducing useful learning
apps and resources, explaining how to use them and distinguish misleading resources
from helpful ones, as well as providing e-books that are worth reading. Whatever the
learning resources are, they should be used under supervision.
Benefits
Electronic devices enable us to have access to considerable learning resources. Not
only will we have a good command of what we’re learning, but we’ll also know more
about the world, expanding our horizons. The earlier we develop our potential, the
more we can contribute to our country and even the world.
We would be glad if you would take our proposal into account.

Ensuring visitors’safety
Name: Li Hua
Introduction
It is a pity that many accidents caused by people’s violation of public rules and
regulations have made headlines. Some visitors get hurt because of their improper
behavior; some don’t realize the possible dangers from lack of common knowledge
about safeguards. Therefore, it’s high time to draw everyone’s attention to it.
Proposal
First, the public facilities should be improved and necessary warning signs should be
made clearly to the visitors. Second, the awareness of safety should be stressed in
various ways, for example, watching a video before entering. Besides, the entrance
fee should be reduced so that most people can afford it. Otherwise, some of them may
try to go against the rules for the purpose of saving money.
Benefits
I am convinced these measures will secure visitors against potential threats. As a
result, public places like zoos and parks can serve as ideal places for relaxation. I
would be pleased if you would approve my proposal.
