Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulty in finding a good job.

The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: first, many university students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training;

second, competition among graduates has become fiercer, and this results in a decreasing chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.

偶像崇拜：idol worship

Many young people have their favorite stars. They love and imitate everything about their idols. And, they don't allow other people to say anything bad about their idols.

Teenagers firmly believe that their idols’ choices are the best. As a result, they follow these stars' clothes, hairstyles, and hobbies, as well as their behaviors in public.

It's a little bit of blind. Idols are normal people too. These youngsters didn't see their idols in real life. Idols on the stage are over beautification.

In fact， they are not perfect. Sometimes they make mistakes, too.

We should learn from our idols—— such as hard work, persistence, and dedication.All achievements of stars come from their efforts and sweat instead of their luckiness or their background.

As far as I am concerned, worshiping a star is not a bad thing. However, we should be rational.In our society, policemen, teachers, and doctors are the real idols we should learn from. Don't forget to show your respect for them.

电子阅读：read with digital devices

People nowadays start reading through phones, iPads, and other digital devices.Newspapers and books are disappearing or shifting to the digital edition.

With the development of technology, news reach us in various forms, for instance, words, pictures, short videos and so on.

Foreign news can be translated into our native language easily. In a word, we can read all this news easily. these devices can help us easily keep track of what is happening around the world.

We are spending less time communicating with the people around us.

We are overloaded by information on phones or pads, we are getting used to reading short and shallow news，while ignoring serious news.

We can't concentrate or focus for a long time. We are losing the deep-think ability.

外卖 ordering food online
