Should calligraphy (书法) be taught at school?
Although we are in an information age and most things can be found or done on computers,still we should go back to handwriting by using a brush and ink. Some people think students should study calligraphy at school. Calligraphy is part of our old culture. It dates back to early times. Traditional calligraphy is well worth learning.

For example,every stroke (笔画) of a character shows richness,feeling,energy and so on. Even foreigners enjoy looking at it for its beauty. If you are good at it,it is certainly a way of selfcultivation ( 陶冶自我) .It often helps build up one's personality. Are you going to learn it soon?
( ) 1. Our time is called an information age.
( ) 2. Calligraphy is part of Chinese culture.
( ) 3. There is nothing in Chinese writing.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat,and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源) ,we are short of others,for example,fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. (1) I think we should say "no”to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life,we can do many things to prevent waste from happening. For example,turn off the water taps when we finish washing,turn off the lights when we leave the classroom,try not to order more food than we need and so on. Little by little,everything will be changed. (2) Waste can be stopped one day,if we do our best.
