“I’m really thankful to our government, for it provides us with such a good training program. The training greatly helps us live well. I will certainly study hard and learn the skills. Then I can 41] my family difficulties and do good to other people.” a learner on the job training program said, feeling 42:

The learner’s grandfather is nearly 80 years old, and his mother is 43] in bed. So his father, who is a father, is the main 44] of the family. The family is poor. The learner graduated from high school and did not 45] the college entrance exam. The job training program helps him learn the skills that he’ll 46] in the workplace.

The story reminds me of another 47: It goes like this: Once upon a time, there was a man who liked fishing very much, and was 48] to catch lots of fish every day.

At present, there are still a lot of poor people throughout the world. But it’s not good if we give only 53] to them. 54], we should give them a chance to learn new skills. Therefore, a technical training is very important to people in need, and they will learn the ability to 55] money. People can learn a lot of useful things in the training program and what learn can help them on the way to find jobs.

Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily life. For example, they can help people to save much time to do more work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can't do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers before the twenty-first century, except the old people.

Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. However, many of their children use computers to play games, to watch videos or to sing. The teachers and parents complain that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked in boxes by parents.

In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness?

As a father, I always do my best to help my son, Peter. I like to help him with his study. I encourage him to join team sports. I send him to the summer camp if he wants to go. I also teach him to be both a good student and a useful man.

He used to make me feel proud. I often thought he was the best son and I was the best father in the world.

However, things changed two years ago. It was Peter’s 12th birthday. My wife and I bought him a computer as a present. We thought it was necessary for him to learn how to use a computer in the modern world. We knew that some children were addicted (上瘾的) to computer games and that they didn’t study or work at all. Someone said that computers and the Internet were bad for children, but I didn’t worry about it. I trusted (信任) my son. I believed that he could control himself. Peter did very well at first. He played computer games, but for only two hours every week. Most of the time he studied or wrote articles on the computer. We felt very happy to see that.

When we finally learned that Peter was also addicted to computer games, it was too late. He didn’t like studying at all. He no longer joined team sports. Sometimes we even couldn’t find him at night. He spent several days and nights at the Internet cafe. We tried everything to help him, but nothing worked. What should we do?

It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man isn’t useful to himself and to others. If one is too lazy to work ,he will probably beg (乞讨) or steal (偷).So every boy, when he is young, should learn some useful work.

But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put all his heart into his work, and not waste his free time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is important for young people as for the old.

The habit of getting up early is helpful to diligence(勤奋), and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed(形成) when one is young. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and make use of (利用）his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed(成功) in life and become useful to one’s country.  So we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
