In order to improve the students‘ spoken English and develop the public speaking skills, I hope an English speaking contest could be held by the School Students‘ Union，whose theme could be“a word that has changed the world” or whatever.

第三套：关于回收二手书籍的报告
It is not uncommon that when senior students graduate from university, most of their used books which are still in good condition are probably thrown away. What a great waste it is! In order to avoid this kind of waste and make full use of used books, the Students’ Union of our university has organized the special project of collecting used books on campus. We are pleased that the project has received warm welcome and strong support from the students. All the members of the Students’Union give ours sincere thanks to you.
For nearly two weeks since the start of the project, we have received more than 1000 books and we have classified them carefully according to the subjects. We plan to donate part of these books to our library, and part of them to students in need. We will have a small booth on our campus on Saturday, 18th December, and any students who want some used books can come and select. We are looking forward to your participation and your contribution to the recycling of books.

Are people becoming addicted to technology?
Technology has penetrated into every corner of modern society, ranging from manufacturing industry to family life.To some extent, people are becoming addicted to technology .
First of all, modern people seem to live on technology products. We get connected with each other via Internet, shop online with mobile phones, and enjoy self-service on machines in banks and restaurants. However, many people tend to go to extremes. They rely so heavily on their cellphones that they feel unease once they are not having their cellphones around for more than five minutes. Another typical example is that with the appearance of various social video Apps like TikTok and Kuaishou, people can‘t resist the temptation of them. They are addicted to the virtual world and even forget to eat, work and communicate with family members or friends.Moreover,numerous studies claim that addiction to technology is real and it has the same effect on the brain as drug addiction.
Therefore, it is advisable for modern people to reasonably reduce their addiction to technology while enjoying the convenience brought by it. Nothing should go overboard.
技术已经渗透到现代社会的每一个角落，从制造业到家庭生活。在某程度上，人们正变得对科技上瘾。
首先，现代人似乎是靠科技产品生活的。我们通过互联网相互联系，用手机在线购物，在银行和餐馆的机器上享受自助服务。然而，许多人往往走向极端。他们非常依赖手机，一旦手机不在身边超过五分钟，他们就会感到不安。另一个典型的例子是,随着TikTok、快手等各种社交视频应用的出现，人们无法抗拒它们的诱惑。他们沉迷于虚拟世界，甚至忘记吃饭、工作和与家人或朋友交流。此外，许多研究表明，科技成瘾是真实存在的，它对大脑的影响与药物成瘾一样。
因此，我们建议现代人在享受科技带来的便利的同时，合理地减少对科技的沉迷。不要做得太过火。

Is technology making people lazy?
Is technology making people lazy? This is quite an interesting question many people might never think of. After careful consideration, my answer is “Yes, Technology is making people lazy.”
A famous saying goes that laziness promotes the advances of technology. In turn, advanced technology makes people become lazier-after. replacing-human -beings-to -do-what. they, should have done. For example, with the help of robots, people can clean their houses without even moving their butts. With the advent of computers, the situation is going from bad to worse. Many studies claim that computers distract people, make them lazy thinkers and even lower their work efficiency. Maybe that‘s why many people are hopping from one website to another, having no idea of what they are doing.
To conclude, technology makes people lazy. Mankind need to be aware of not becoming the slave of technology.
科技让人变得懒惰了吗?这是一个很有趣的问题，很多人可能从来没有想过。经过深思熟虑，
我的回答是:“是的，科技让人变得懒惰。”
有句名言说，懒惰促进技术的进步。反过来，先进的技术使人们变得懒惰。代替人类去做。他们本应该做的。例如，在机器
的帮助下，人们甚至不用移动屁股就可以打扫房子。随着计算机的出现，情况越来越糟。许多研究声称，电脑会分散人们的注意力，让他们变得懒惰，甚至降低工作效率。也许这就是为什么许多人从一个网站跳到另一个网站，却不知道自己在做什么。
总之，科技让人变得懒惰。人类需要意识到不要成为技术的奴隶。
With the continuous progress of science and technology, great changes have taken place in the way people live.This progress has brought great convenience to people. Nonetheless, it has also made many people lazy.
First, the widespread use of Internet technology.People just need to pick up a mobile phone, connect to the Internet, and open the corresponding software, then the major events of the world will be caught in their eyes.They no longer have to open books and newspapers or go out to get information. Second, the appearance of takeaways has also made people lazier. People can get whatever they want to eat without cooking for themselves or even getting up to go to a restaurant. In addition, online shopping is more enjoyable for people. Many people forgo (放弃)the tiring activity of going to the mall, instead, they lie in the sofa and just move their fingers. Therefore, the decline in exercise has left many people in declining health.
To sum up, the ever-changing technology brings convenience to people, but it also makes people lazy.Consequently, while improving the quality of life, people should learn to use science and technology correctly instead of relying on it blindly.
随着科学技术的不断进步，人们的生活方式发生了巨大的变化。这一进步给人们带来了极大的便利。尽管如此，它也使许多人变得懒惰。
首先，互联网技术的广泛使用。人们只需要拿起手机，连接互联网，打开相应的软件，世界上的重大事件就会在他们的眼睛里。他们不再需要打开书本和报纸，或者出去获取信息。其次，外卖的出现也让人们变得更懒惰。人们可以得到他们想要的任何东西，而不用自己做饭，甚至不用起床去餐馆。此外，网上购物对人们来说是更愉快的。许多人放弃了去商场的累人活动，相反，他们躺在沙发上，只是活动他们的手指。因此，锻炼的减少使许多人的健康状况每况愈下。
总而言之，日新月异的科技给人们带来了便利，但也让人们变得懒惰。因此，在提高生活质量的同时，人们应该学会正确使用科学技术，而不是盲目依赖它。

Do violent video games lead to violence?
The explosive growth of video games in recent two decades has aroused grave social concern.One of the main reasons is that many people worry violent video games could lead to violence. This is true, especially for child players.
For one thing, at a young age, children usually don‘t have good judgement and are prone(易发；倾向于)to imitate the violent behaviours in games and regard them as being cool. For another, many video games are full of violence to boost players‘ excitement, thus enhancing their appeal.A growing number of research proves that violent video games contribute to children‘s aggressive behaviors in their real life.,
Considering many teenagers are spending a huge amount of time and money on video games, we need to be alert to the possible harm of violent games that could be done to children.
暴力电子游戏会导致暴力吗?
近二十年来电子游戏的爆炸式增长引起了社会的严重关注。一个主要原因是许多人担心暴力电子游戏会导致暴力。这是真的，尤其是对儿童玩家来说。
一方面，在很小的年龄，孩子通常没有很好的判断力，容易模仿游戏中的暴力行为，认为他们很酷。另一方面，许多电子游戏都充满了暴力元素，从而提高了玩家的兴奋感，从而提高了游戏的吸引力。越来越多的研究证明，暴力视频游戏会导致孩子们攻击行为在真实的生活中。
考虑到许多青少年在电子游戏上花费了大量的时间和金钱，我们需要警惕暴力游戏可能对儿童造成的危害。
With the progress of the times, the use of smart phones, computers and other electronic products is becoming more and more common among students. And many students like violent video games online. This raises a question, whether violent online games will lead to students’ violent tendency? From my point of view, the answer is no.
First of all, through online games, students can relieve the pressure in real life and find like-minded (志趣相投的)people to communicate with, which will reduce students’ irritable tendency in real life. In this way, these video games will not increase students’ violent tendency. On the contrary, to a certain extent they will reduce students’irritable(易怒的，急躁的) behaviors. Moreover, online video games are virtual and the violent elements in the games are unrealistic, and these violent scenes can hardly be implemented in real life. So the violence in online games has little impact on real life.
To sum up, from my point of view, violent online games will not lead to students’ violent tendency. The development of science and technology is bound to change people’s way of life, which will bring about a lot of influence on people’s life. It is only necessary for us to learn to use it properly.
