What Are Some of the Important Issues in The News
A Question I Posed to My Students
SIAS University
Henan Province, China
December 2015
I had my students respond to a different writing prompt every day. I loved to read what they had to say, how they saw the word. Here are today's responses:
- It is important to me that there is just 28 days no war in the world during a year. There is not a peaceful world for some place and many people. But there is a heaven world for some reaching people who waste their time to drinking every day and waste their money to find happy life such as drugging and sexy, but not to use their money and take their time to help the poor people.
- There are two news that are important to me: First, as the increasing of the price of our daily goods, the price of a kind of fish grow. Almost 800 Yuan/kg. It is really unbelievable and the experts put that the environmental pollution and people catch more and more fish, they both because the fish become less and less and even disappear. So I think it is really important to appeal people to protect environment. Second, I read a news about the building and school in china. The author compared the two kinds of building in china to those in America. It put that some Chinese government use more money on their official buildings but Americans use more money to build schools. It put that a good government should pay more attention about education, not only their own buildings, I agree with him. And I hope some of our government can us more money in education.
- About the racism, I just skim the news but not sure which part place of America. And this place is not peaceful and occur racial segregation.
- I am confused one social issue: several days ago, a patient who is a young boy killed his doctor, because the boy hatred the doctor’s attitude. We can learn that the boy is orphan and he live with his grandpa, now the old man was diagnosed cancer. What’s real reason for the incident and who should be responsible for it?
- Monetary exchange rates are changing. It influences my decision to persue graduate study abroad. How do I budget for my overseas life? Or I’d better study domestically.
- The current issue in the news that is important to me is that American host Mike Wallace passed away on 8th April. He was born in 1919 and he has covered our president Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zeprin in Sept 2, 1986 and Aug 15th, 2000. He is a legend in America. (My note- I think this student quickly whipped out her cell phone and looked this up when I wasn’t looking).
- Because of my major, I concentrate on finance. The news about country’s economic power or politics are very important to me. And I think welfare and something else what is related to our daily life are also very important. I am interested in stock market, the news about government’s change about public fiancé market.
- Recently, I have the news that there is a girl in china have born a baby, what surprised me is that she is only ten years old and became the youngest mother in china. I was shocked by her, I think it is such a sad thing. Not only hurt the young girl’s health, but also her family and the baby. She is really young to have a baby. The law should give more attention to the young people and protect them on every side in the life.
