What Are Dreams For?

One theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires. / We do not express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society. / Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems / that we can’t solve in real life. / We go to sleep with a problem and wake up with the solution. / This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. / If you believe that your dreams are important, / then analyzing them may help you to focus on the problem/ and help you to find the solution. / The modern image is that dreams are the brain’s way / of cleaning up the computer’s hard disk. / Dreams organize the events of the day into folders / and delete what is not needed. / But we all know that very little of what we dream / is concerned with what happened to us that day. /

SECTION A  COMPOSITION

Will New Ways of Consumption Make Us Smart Consumers?

Nowadays, in this consumption-oriented society, more and more people including students are pursuing new ways of consumption in order to save money. Coupons, group-buy deals as well as discounts are warmly welcomed and considered fashionable by consumers.

However, will they really help us save money and make us smart consumers? Undoubtedly, the answer is NO.

First of all, the gratification of saving money on one commodity will greatly stimulate consumers’ desire to buy more. It is easy to presume that more money will be spent eventually.

Similarly, at the sight of such low price, many consumers tend to lose their mind and come back home with packages of unnecessary goods. It is absolutely a waste of money.

Last but not least, many consumers are passionate enough to purchase piles of group-buy coupons without realizing that there are many unpleasant, additional clauses attached to them.

For instance, many restaurant coupons can only be used at a certain time with certain specified dishes, which can hardly be called a satisfactory consumption experience.

To conclude, there’s no denying that these fashionable ways of consumption can to some extent help us save money. However, a much greater amount of money will be spent if we are indulged in using them. We will never become truly Smart consumers if we don’t spend money rationally.

Dear Mathew,

I’m really sorry that I cannot wait for you in my dorm because I have something urgent to do. You can meet me at the entrance of our school library at 4 o’clock this afternoon. You may need the map on the back of the note to find your way to the library. I’ll be waiting for you there. See you then.

Yours,
