Online writing - 4 topics

1. Most people would agree that education forms the basis for success in many walks of life, but there is considerable disagreement about the characteristics of a good education. And what I believe to be the most important elements of a good education is the educating enthusiasm from teachers. From a student's point of view, in Chinese society, teachers always play the most important role to form the basis for success in school education. In my childhood, I rememberd my parent always want to find a teahcher with lots of patience and tolerance for me. I am not a smart child in my education career. I had to spend double or tripple times than other classmates to finish a homework or a learning program. Therefore, the teacher's enthusiasm in educating is the most key characteristics of a good education.

2. With the growth of the Internet, young people are spending increasing time in front of the computer screen. And the most popular young people's Internet actitivies is chatting with their friends by MSN, it is a powerful software used to talk with friends on the Internet. The second one is to share their personal photos with friends online called the Facebook, you also can build your own Blog on it. These two most popular Internet actitivies may take their most of time, but it is hard to tell this time is beneficial or not. Take myself for example, I use MSN in everyday life, it is really convinent and costless for me to change any information or hot deals with frinds online. And the second beneficial to me is that everyweek I can use the Video talk function to chat with my parent whom are in Taiwan. The only cost is the Internet expense charged by Internet company.
It is a good way to use the Internet from my experience, but there are many people using the Internet in the wrong way. They spent lots of time playing online games and ignored to take care of their school lessons. And this is the one of the most dangerous of their Internet use. The other dangerous one is some malefactor use the Internet to make friends online, and they are not really want to make friend with you. They just want to take something worth from you. In hence, young people should be careful to use some software on the Internet. Otherwise it will be a bad development for the young generation of the Internet use.

3. Some countries provide free healthcare for their citizens. Other nations, such as the U.S., provide healthcare only to the elderly. In my country, Taiwan, we have National Health Insurance. We have to hand in a fix amount of money for the insurance every year to our government. No matter the age you are. Once you have some ailment with your body, you can go to see a doctor and just pay a little portion of the diagnosis fee. And the doctor will apply the other portion of diagnosis fee from the health insurance. This is a very good and benefit policy for people living in Taiwan. But it is a big financial burden for the health department. Because the fix amount of money is not enough to afford to many aggravated pathological patient in hospital. Therefore, the government need strong financial management to support this extensive health insurance expense. And I am really agree with this policy, it is beneficial to many destitute family in Taiwan. Because they can have the same level health care system with other people, don't have to worry about whether they can't pay the bill to the hospital.

4. We get much of our information from the media, but it is sometimes difficult to know if media information is accurate. Today is a global village, every important information will be spread out by the big TV stations in the world. Beside the Internet is so convinent for us to get the news. Therefore, we can get the same information from different sources in almost the same time. In deed, we can balance information about the events that are happening in the world by ourselves and not affected by the media. The second way is that we can ask the professionals in every specific field concerning about this information to tell whether this reporting is correct or not. And the last way is we can judge it by our own experience or source. Depends on what kinds of information, you can find out the way to get to know close to it.
