    Nowadays, one of the most significant discussions on young people is that young people spend little time on helping their communities. Many people agree with that, and I am in the same position. I prefer to think that young people spend more time on their own business and care less about the people around them.

    First, the network is the leading cause of young people to give less time to communities. In the past, when there is no network, people mostly make friends with those who live around them because people have a lot of difficulties in contacting people who live far away from them. My grandma is a good illustration of this. At her youth, all of her best friends live around her house which is because her friends are the only people she can keep in touch. People gave a lot of time on communities decades ago.

    Furthermore, most families only have one child in China under national breeding policy. In this case, plenty of children have no chance of having the experience of living with a brother or sister. Thus, this situation gives rise to lacking the feeling of the importance of the people around them. Finally, young people do not spend their time with communities because of unaware of the indispensable of their neighbors.

    However, people are becoming busier compared with people in the last. It is common for young people to work eight hours a day. What’s more, some people even work ten hours a day. For me, after a day of high-pressure work,  the only thing on my mind is to relax rather than helping my communities. So, sometime we should take into account the hard work of young people and try to understand them.

    From all I have listed above, I conclude that because of easy access to the outer world and lacking the awareness of the importance of people around the young people, they spend less time on helping communities now.

    If we have a lesson, or attend a meeting and the teacher or the meeting leader says something wrong, what will we do? I will wait until the end of class or meeting and then talk to the teacher or meeting leader. And, he or she will know about the mistake without feeling embarrassed and correct the mistake during the next class or meeting.

    Supposing I am in a math class now, the teacher is telling us the answer of a question. However, I am sure about the answer that teacher gave is a wrong answer. I believe it is very embarrassing to correct the mistake right away. I mean it is definitely right for us to correct the mistake, but we should find a more appropriate chance to do so. Directly pointing out the mistake and correcting it may let the teacher or leader embarrassed and may interrupt the progress of the class.

    Besides, it is also inappropriate for us not to correct the mistake since the mistake may confuse other students or employees. If all of us lack the courage of thinking independently, our society will never have major breakthroughs. Critical thinking is of vital important in our daily life. In other words, it is probable that we make the mistake rather than our teacher or leader. Thus, in my point of view, I will talk to my teacher or leader alone when the class or meeting is over and find out the right answer.

    In conclusion, the best solution to deal with this kind of situation is to talk to them personally after class or meeting. Therefore, the teacher or leader can know about the mistake without being embarrassed. Also, they can correct their mistake during the next class or meeting. What’s more, we can discuss for a right answer and avoid repetitions on the same mistake.

    If we are having a lesson, or attending a meeting and the teacher or the meeting leader says something wrong, what will we do? We interrupt and correct the mistake right away or wait until the class or meeting is over and people are all gone. And even more, we just say nothing and pretend that we do not know about the mistake. If this situation happens at me, I think I will wait until the end of class or meeting and then talk to the teacher or meeting leader. So, he or she will know about the mistake without feeling embarrassed and correct the mistake during next class or meeting.

    I believe it is very embarrassing to correct the mistake right away. I mean it is definitely right for us to correct the mistake, but we should find a more appropriate chance to do so. Directly pointing out the mistake and correcting it may let the teacher or leader embarrassing and being blamed.

    Besides, it is also inappropriate for us not to correct the mistake, because the mistake may confuse other students or employees. Thus, in my point of view, we should let the teacher or meeting leader know about the mistake so that teacher or leader can be aware of the mistake and prevent their students or employees from making mistakes.

    So, in my opinion, we should tell the teacher or the leader about the mistake after class or meeting. I think it is a win-win if we do so, because in that case, the teacher or the leader can be aware of the mistake and correct it during next class or next meeting without being embarrassed. And, other students or employees also can avoid making mistakes.

    In conclusion, the best solution to deal with correcting the mistake is to let them know about the mistake after class or meeting when people are gone. Therefore, the teacher or leader can know about the mistake without being embarrassed. Also, they can correct their mistake during next class or meeting to avoid their students or employees being confused.

    Topic: Because the world is changing so quickly, people now are less happy or less satisfied with their lives than people were in the past.

    As time goes by, someone said that people are always more unhappy or discontent with their lives than people were in the past. And this point of view even accepted by all of my friends as well, the truth is that little of people feel happy of satisfying with their lives now.

    Needless to say, science and technology now make the earth a whole, which means that people could get in touch with each other no matter how far away they are. We all acknowledge that we always feel happy when we are meeting with our friends or relatives. But is a phone call which phoned by your close friends or relatives that comes from far away from me equal to chatting with them face-to-face? Of course not. Although I can hear their sound, see their expression, I can never feel their touch or embrace them intensely. Furthermore, at the mercy of technology, people not are less treasure the moment that getting together with friends or relatives. So, as I see it, people now are less happy because of the convenience of getting in touch.

    Besides, as the infinitely decrease of the limitation of methods on acquiring information, people’s desires are expanding gradually. Consequently, people now are getting more and more difficult having a feel of satisfied than people in the past. Take myself and my grandpa as an example, my grandpa is easily satisfied with sufficient amount of food and a place to live. While, as to me, what I want is travelling around the world and being in a position where every one of my friends admired. Because of knowing more means wanting more, it is harder to satisfy a person who willing more than others. Nowadays, people generally want more than people in the past, so people are less satisfied than people in the past.

    In sum, from my prospect of view, people are surely more unhappy or less satisfied with their lives than people in the past. And I believe, it is might be a good choice to cherish the moment when getting together and lower the goal I set.
