Topic:    Why students are hungry. 
Title:    “Why students are hungry.” 
Brainstorming:   No money – Xing Fu Road closed – no food deliveries – dinning halls closed – classes start at 9:00 a.m. 
Plan outline:   
     [E]      All students hungry. 
     [C1]    No money. 
     [C2]    Dining halls closed. 
     [C3]    Xing Fu Road closed. 
     [C4]    No food deliveries. 
     [C5]    Classes start – 9:00 a.m. 
     [CS]    Therefore – hungry. 
Paragraph Text:  
     [E]      All the students in Zhi Da are very hungry, so they are suffering. 
     [C1]    Most students have no money, because they are not allowed to have a job, and earn their own wages. 
     [C2]    Since there is not enough food, the dining hall is closed. 
     [C3]    Xing Fu Road has been closed for one month, due to a broken gas main, and the city government does not know when this problem will be solved. 
     [C4]    As a result, there are no more food deliveries by truck; a private company has been trying to bring food in by “donkey cart”, but it is not enough to supply the needs of the school. 
     [C5]    For some strange reason, the classes have been started at 9:00 a.m.; by 1:45 p.m. each day the students are faint with hunger, and they want to kill their teachers. 
     [CS]   Therefore, the school leaders are trying to solve the problem; it is too late though, as the students have decided to leave Zhi Da and return home to their own family’s cooking!

Topic:    Why hard to find job. 
Title:    “Why many people in China find it difficult to get a good job.” 
Brainstorming:    So many graduates – high ambition, but low ability – few jobs – bad economy – no work experience. 
Plan outline:   
     [E]    Today – hard – get job. 
     [C1]    So many graduates. 
     [C2]    No work experience. 
     [C3]    High ambition, but low ability. 
     [C4]    Few jobs. 
     [C5]    Bad economy. 
     [CS]   Try by ourselves – not give up! 
Paragraph Text:  
     [E]    Today, it hard for many graduates to find a good job. 
     [C1]    There are many college students in China now, and they come from all parts of society; they came to college because their family had some money, and they had dreams. 
     [C2]    Today’s graduates have no job experience, as they are still young, and because they took no part-time jobs in college. 
     [C3]    Their ambitions are high; their actual abilities are low. 
     [C4]    There are so few jobs today–in their hometown, in their counties, in their provinces, in the entire country. 
     [C5]    Today’s Chinese economy is not as strong as it used to be. 
     [CS]   We should therefore try hard to get our first job, we should depend on ourselves, and we should never give up!

Topic:    Why Stephen cannot hear 0507. 
Title:    “Why Stephen cannot hear 0507.” 
Brainstorming:    SVW losing hearing – many students talking – students doing something else – students have no time to think – some students shy. 
Plan outline:   
     [E]      SVW – cannot – hear – 0507. 
     [C1]    Students doing something else. 
     [C2]    Many students talking. 
     [C3]    Students have no time to think. 
     [C4]    Some students shy. 
     [C5]    SVW losing his hearing. 
     [CS]    Improve situation – do better. 
Paragraph Text:  
     [E]      These days, Stephen cannot hear what the students of 0507 are saying to him in class. 
     [C1]    Some students are usually doing something else, such as talking on their shou ji, and day dreaming. 
     [C2]    Some students talk to each other, as they are trying to help their classmates who don’t understand, or because they are bored. 
     [C3]    The students do not have much time to think, or to discuss the class material; Stephen does not give 0507 enough time to “process information”, and the class is always bust copying text off the blackboard. 
     [C4]    Some students are too shy to open their mouths and speak. 
     [C5]    Maybe there is another reason; perhaps Stephen is losing his hearing. 
     [CS]    Both Stephen and 0507 should improve this situation, and then everyone will do better in the future!

Topic:    Why I failed in the exam. 
Title:    “Why I failed in the exam.” 
Brainstorming:    Didn’t learn it by heart – many other things – mood – physical – rest. 
Plan outline:   
     [E]      Failed exam. 
     [C1]    Didn’t learn it by heart. 
     [C2]    Many other things. 
     [C3]    Mood. 
     [C4]    Physical. 
     [C5]    Rest. 
     [CS]    These reasons – failed.            
Paragraph Text:  
     [E]      I really failed in the last exam. 
     [C1]    I didn’t learn the “key words” by heart; I didn’t pay much attention to the teacher. 
     [C2]    I usually considered some other things; they didn’t relate to the class book. 
     [C3]    In my opinion, I am an emotional girl; my mood often changes as the weather, and this also influences me. 
     [C4]    I don’t like exercising, so I have bad health; I often catch a cold, and at that time I don’t want to study. 
     [C5]    I often can’t stay awake, as I have not had a good rest, so I don’t get enough power to study well in the daytime. 
     [CS]    According to these reasons, I failed in the exam.

Topic:    Why we are so busy. 
Title:    “Why we are so busy.” 
Brainstorming:   Too much homework – social obligations – part-time job – Zhi Da labor – exam preparation – reading own books – Internet bar – “love life”. 
Plan outline:   
     [E]      We are busy. 
     [C1]    Exam preparation. 
     [C2]    Too much T.V. 
     [C3]    Social obligations. 
     [C4]    Zhi Da labor. 
     [C5]    Reading own books – part-time job – Internet bar. 
     [CS]    Should manage life. 
Paragraph Text:  
     [E]      Most of the students in 0505 / 0509 are very busy. 
     [C1]    Some students are preparing for language exams (CET, TEM), and certificate exams (tour guide, customs officer). 
     [C2]    Everyone has too much homework, especially in the Writing class. 
     [C3]    Social obligations, such as family / classmates / boyfriends / parties, take up most of our time. 
     [C4]    Our university “Zhi Da”, which is always looking for ways to get money and save time, often forces us to do many different labor tasks around the campus. 
     [C5]    In most of our leisure time–if we have it–we like to read our own books, do a part-time job, and visit the Internet bar. 
     [CS]    Therefore, we should learn to manage our life better!

Topic:    Winters becoming warmer. 
Title:    “Why winters, all over the world, are becoming warmer.” 
Brainstorming:   More pollution – more cars – volcanic eruptions – more factories – fewer trees – more forest fires – burning more coal. 
Plan outline:   
     [E]      Winters – warmer. 
     [C1]    More factories. 
     [C2]    More cars. 
     [C3]    Burning more coal. 
     [C4]    Volcanoes / forest fires. 
     [C5]    Fewer trees. 
     [CS]   We must act now! 
Paragraph Text:  
     [E]      For some reasons, winters all over the world are becoming warmer and warmer. 
     [C1]    There are more and more factories in the world, both in the “developing” countries, as well as in the “developed” countries. 
     [C2]    More and more cars are driven today. 
     [C3]    Coal is still widely used, either in steel factories or power stations, or by the people in their homes. 
     [C4]    Sometimes volcanoes erupt naturally, and they send many gasses up into the sky; people often start forest fires, which spread smoke everywhere. 
     [C5]    Meanwhile, there are fewer and fewer trees in the world, because people everywhere are cutting down trees, and not planting new ones. 
     [CS]    We must act now, because if we do not, life on earth will vanish!
