六、写作:

With the deepening of reform and opening, more and more schools have built friendly relation with foreign schools. People have different opinions about it. According to the survey of School English Newspaper, 29% of the interviewees support it, while 63% are against it, with 8% indifferent to it.

The people who support the relation believe it contributes to the cultural exchanges and helps Chinese students to experience the life and study of foreign students and to set a higher pursuit. However, the people against it think it is just a waste of money and time. They said it makes no difference to our school. What’s worse, it will cause the unnecessary mutual competition between the schools. The people indifferent to it said it had nothing to do with them and it is only the few people’s feast.

As far as I’m concerned, all the friendly schools should make more efforts to make the most of the exchanges and make them beneficial to all the staff and students.

W: I like to go to fashion shows. They give you some ideas about what kinds of clothes are coming into fashion and which ones are going out.

M: It’s nice to see those pretty models walking down the runway in beautiful clothing. But to be frank, I don’t think those clothes are practical for everyday wear.

W: I think we’re beginning to see some practical Italian ready-to-wear collections being shown these days. And they reach the American stores just a few weeks after the major fashion shows.

M: This should be good news for America’s career women. They are this country’s most eager consumers of Italian styles. It’s time for the Italian designers to figure out that only when they make fashion more practical will they have a bigger market here.

M: China’s twitter-like information sharing and social contact platform Weibo has seen a surge in popularity. But now it is facing a competitor. The battle among China’s social networks is heating up. It turns out that when it comes to instant messaging through social platforms, people are choosing WeChat over Weibo.

“I choose WeChat, it’s more convenient.”

“WeChat. I don’t use Weibo very much.”

Some users said.

WeChat, formally called Weixin, literally translates from Chinese for Micro Message, is a mobile application designed by Tencent Company for sending voice or text messages, video and pictures through smartphones and tablets. This app, which allows information sharing only among friends, is posing a big challenge to Weibo.

Shi Anbin, Professor of Tsinghua University, News and Communication School, said, “People hope to use more accessible tool … Weixin is a big challenge to Weibo...”

By the end of March 2012, the most popular microblog, Sina Weibo had more than 300 million users. The number increased to more than 400 million by the end of September.

But a surge in users hasn’t really translated into a surge for the company’s bottom line. That’s the biggest problem for Sina according to Professor Shi Anbin. He suggests Weibo to learn from its competitor, which already has a mature revenue channel.

“Weibo doesn’t create income... I think it should learn from WeChat, which creates a consumer circle... ” Shi said.

Professor Shi says Weibo should find a proper business model to translate its popularity and social function to benefit the company.
