1.由while引导的状语从句。

  Different people have different views on opportunity. Some people think that there are few opportunities in the world, while others argue that everybody will have some kind of opportunity along his life route.
When it comes to traveling, some of people will choose to go on a self-tour while others want to go on a package tour. 

  2.Those who…句型。

  Those who are in favor of the Internet claim that it has a lot of advantages.

  Those who are opposed to the Internet hold that disadvantages are many.

  3. 倒装句

  Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.

  Only if we get prepared can we seize the opportunities instead of letting them slip by, just as the saying goes, “Opportunities are only for the prepared minds”. 

  Only by planning his time carefully can he improve efficiency and make achievements.

  Only in this way can we master the writing skills step by step. 

  4.条件状语从句

  He will make the right choice if he knows his goal in life and how to make decisions according to the goal. 

  …so long as we can make use of it properly, it can be most helpful for us in many aspects. 

  5.强调句

  First of all, the main financial support comes from parents and other family members. For all the years it is they who give the student courage and determination to hold on and excel.

  It is not the years in your life, but the life in your years that counts.

  6.反问句

  Now that we can draw the conclusion that daydreaming is most beneficial, why not make good use of it to make life rich and rewarding?

  7.结果状语从句

  First and foremost, the overall planners have to come up with an overall development scheme so that all the later projects can be fitted into it under coherent consideration.

  Just think of Deng Xiaoping, who had three rises and three falls in life – which fortune teller is so magical that he can tell such complicated life experiences?

  Failure is such a common matter that every one of us may meet it from time to time. 

  8.让步状语从句

  Although we cannot say that it brings no unfavorable consequences, we can be sure to conclude that this practice is favorable on the whole.

  To begin with, although you may feel anxious to finish the work when the deadline is drawing near, it doesn’t mean you can finish your job with high quality.

  What’s more, many students lack self-control to such an extent that they chat for long hours even if they know it is harmful to both their mental and physical health.

  No matter how responsible the teachers are and how friendly the classmates are, you can only depend on yourself once you step into the examination room.

  For another, if a person is diligent and perseverant, he will realize his dream no matter how poor, humble or unlucky he may be.

9.Not(never)…until…

  For one thing, we can never wish people to be good to us until we become thoughtful and considerate.

  We can never wish to realize our dream of a cleaner and more beautiful environment until all of us take actions to build, protect and take care of it. 

  How can anybody expect to lead a meaningful life until he is far from any kind of cheating behaviors? 

Other people view repeated failures as most natural on the way towards achievement – they will keep on trying until they succeed in the end.

  Until quite recently most people hold a hostile attitude towards taking a rest at noon.

  10.Although (it is true) that…, it doesn’t mean (follow) that…

  To begin with, although you may feel anxious to finish the work when the deadline is drawing near, it doesn’t mean you can finish your job with high quality.

  11.There is no such thing as…

  Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as destined fate in our life.

  12.双重否定

  You can never be too good to your mother.

  Last but by no means the least, students can never fail to find peers with the same interest, which enable them to explore a special field together.

  Similarly, you can never write a good research paper unless you concentrate on what you are doing and have a right attitude towards failure.

 In my opinion, I think the most important things in my life are in turn health, family, friends, career and money.

First, health is vital to everybody. Some one said, ‘The health is NO1, it is very important for everyone, it is valuable and powerful.’ It is true. If you haven’t a healthy body, you could not eat delicious food, drink fine wine; you could not sleep well and play cheerily; you could not go out with your family together. In addition, if you are not healthy, your family would worry about you.
Secondly, family is very important. So-called ‘happiness’, it usually depends on family happiness. A happy family is a soft lough.  You can tell anything to your wife or your husband when you are confused and anguished. You can enjoy your success with family when you have a great achievement.   
Thirdly, friends are really necessary. People who have no friends are lonely. The society we live in has countless ties and pressure. Friends are very important to everybody. They can help you at the moment of truth. You can tell your bother and show your ideas to your close friends. 

Fourthly, career is important too. A good job not only brings you much money but also brings you much pleasure. In China there is a proverb: ‘A woman worries about marrying a bad man, a man worries about choosing a bad calling’. It is important for you to get a good job. If you have a best steady job, you could earn a large number of money. At the same time, you could have intercommunion with your colleagues when you work.

 Lastly, money is essential. People can not live well in the modern society without money. Every one needs money. If you have lots of money, you could give it to poor people. As well, you could choose a good living environment and  enjoy my hobbies.  In a word, you would live happier if you have a lot of money.

 Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake products to their consumers;  some students cheat on exams; some applicants find jobs by using fake diplomas; some people tell lies to avoid responsibility or avoid being punished
 Why do people cheat? The main reason probably lies in immediate interest they may obtain by cheating. For example, a company, which manufactures fake products, may seem to win for a moment because it can minimize its manufacture cost by doing so. This kind of businesses, however, will be driven out of the market in the long run. For the consumers after getting to know the poor quality of the products will not buy them anymore.
 The same is true of individuals. Dishonest people dare not take on the responsibility of life. They cheat in class, in office, at home and so on. But the truth can hardly be masked. The moment the truth comes out they will lose their credibility, which is easier to destroy than to rebuild. Consequently, these dishonest will suffer a long time because of their cheating behaviors. In conclusion, no one can afford to be dishonest in a civilized society.       Honesty is the pillar of a society. People will benefit from being honest in the long run. That's why we say it pays to be honest.

Nowadays, no matter where you get around in a city or even in the countryside, it is pretty easy for you to find one or two signs introducing a product. This has been increasingly becoming popular in our daily lives. Whether the influence of advertising is good or bad could be examined as follows.

We will start by talking about the merits of advertising. Firstly, advertising is informative, which provides the customers with a quick access to the product needed. Take me as an example. I am a new resident of Guangzhou, a metropolitan city located in the south of China. At the very beginning when moving to this city, I did not have a clue about where to purchase all of the necessities for my newly-bought flat. Thanks to the ads on TV and in newspapers, amazingly almost all of the items ranging from furniture to household appliances were settled within a week. Secondly, consumers can expect to have a best price by comparing and contrasting the prices and specifications of the commodity advertised by different suppliers.

However, advertising involves some defects and I would like to list two of them herein. Initially, the popularity of advertisements has been growing along with the increased layout of design as well as showing up in the marketplace more frequently. The cost will definitely be passed on to the customers. Furthermore, the generation Y would probably lose their individuality because many of them buy the same goods advertised constantly in media during a certain period of time, which makes them appear alike.

After the above analysis of the pros and cons, I tend to be in favor of the positive effects. Undoubtedly, nothing is more important than living in a society where ordinary people can enjoy the conveniences and competitive prices brought by commercials. I believe that the negative effects can be minimized through sustainable economic growth and education.
