Universities Taking Donations
It is common now for people to give and universities to take donations. Many universities, especially those elite ones, can receive millions from the individuals and companies every year. For example, Zhejiang University was reported to have accepted more than 520 million yuan in 2010 from its alumni.
People have different views on universities’ taking donations. Some believe that more funds will contribute to a better development of the university, and donations can aid students who come from low-income families. Others, however, argue that colleges shouldn’t accept endowment, since the governmental funds allocated to universities are enough for their development. They also point out that many universities fail to make good use of the donations and most money don’t go to poor students.
In my opinion, taking donations benefits not only the university but also its students. Even if most donations are not given to poor students directly, they help update teaching facilities and improve the school environment, which will benefit the students indirectly. Therefore, universities’ taking donations should be advocated.

Universities Taking Donations
Donations to universities have become commonplace with the rapid economic development and people’s emphasis on education. Some donations universities receive come from the individuals, most of who are their alumni, while some are made by large companies, domestic or international ones.
People differ on universities’ taking donations. Supporters say receiving donation helps universities develop faster. It also provides chances to those willing to promote higher education. Critics, however, maintain that universities are sacrificing independence, since most large
donations are conditional ones. For example, many large donors would require schools to publicize their contributions, such as naming a teaching building after their names.
Personally, I think universities should be careful in receiving endowment. A general rule: donations that are given with no conditions can be accepted. Besides, universities should examine the sources of the donations and resist the commercial pressures which are put on them.

Paying Kids for Chores?
A rising proportion of parents pay their children to do chores around the house nowadays. For example, some parents will give their kids allowances if they clean the room, do laundry, set the table, or prepare simple food for the family.
People differ on whether parents should pay their kids for doing housework. Supporters say tying kids’ allowances to housework is a good way to teach kids accountability and responsibility. It also helps children learn about money and how it works. But critics of this approach say children should do routine housework for free. The reason is simple: chores are part of a family, and everyone does chores.
Personally, I don’t think parents should adopt the pay-for-work view. Paying kids to help out sends the wrong massage: they are entitled to freely have everything parents provide for them while the contributions they make to the family have to be paid for. It risks creating teenagers who would worship money and who are likely to drive a hard bargain just to take out the garbage.

Paying Kids for Chores?
To foster a love for work and help them become accustomed to it, many Chinese, especially those in big cities, pay their only child to do chores at home. Usually the amount of money given to the child depends on the child’s age, the family’s income and the child’s expenses.
People’s opinions vary towards this phenomenon. Some people think it’s a good idea for parents to pay kids to do housework. It motivates children to do more jobs around the house, as paying chores shows them that they have to work in order to get allowances. Others, however, argue that it’s improper for parents to take this approach, since paying them makes them lazy. They say many children now refuse to do anything unless there is some kind of compensation.
I’m in the camp that parents should pay their children in return for work done around the house. On the one hand, it teaches children that they should work for what they want in life. On the other hand, it provides solid lessons and opportunities related to money management.

Students’ Driving to School
Students’ driving to school is no longer as rare as it was two decades ago. According to a news report, in Chongqing University alone, the number of student drivers now reaches over 50. MBA students included, the number will be up to 500.
People have different views on students’ driving to school. Some people say it is a natural phenomenon connected with China’s growth — millions of families can afford private cars now. Some consider it improper, since it will cause parking problems in the already crowded school. Still, there are people who worry that driving to school is showing off to some extent and might lead to blind comparison among students.
In my opinion, as long as students own cars and get driving licenses, they should be allowed to drive themselves to schools. After all, car is a transportation tool. Like cycling and walking, driving just serves as a way to travel between school and home. Therefore, there is nothing to fuss over driving to school, even if the drivers are college students.

Students’ Driving to School
With the development of society, more and more families possess private cars, and many college students now drive themselves to school. This sparks off a heated debate on students’
driving to school.
Some are in favor of students’ driving to school. They claim that it can save time to go to school or go home, especially for those living far off the campus. Besides, driving is a basic skill for future work, which is always required in job recruitment. On the contrary, some are against it. They hold that young drivers, known as road killers, are not careful enough in driving. “Li Gang Gate” incident is a typical lesson and should be prevented forever. What’s more, they believe that it is a way of showing off, an ill mental state.
For my part, I object to students’ driving to school. For one thing, driving to school adds a financial burden to many families. For another, parking is a serious problem. As more and more cars are parked in campus, our beautiful schools will be messy parking lots.
