預測主題之第七位：健康

　　Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health. But how to keep healthy? Different people may give different answers to this question. In my opinion, it is essential to do the following.

　　First, it is absolutely necessary to take some exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise make the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder. This strengthens the heart, reduces the chance of heart attack, and helps lower blood pressure. That's why more and more people are becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises. Every morning many people get up early and take much exercise. Some practice shadowboxing and swordplay while others run, jog, walk or dance to music. In the afternoon,there are also many people keen on sports. Some play basketball or volleyball or table tennis, others go in for gymnastics or track events. Through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger.

　　Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health. They advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish. Fat can build up in the arteries, block the flow of blood, and cause a heart attack or stroke.

　　預測主題之第六位：競爭

　　Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study. There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth. In a sense, competition is one of the motive force to the development of society.

　　In fact, the only way our world reward people is to give laurels to the winners, not to the losers. What is more, by attempting to compete at different activities, we learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses. Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.

　　To go ahead, to acquire possession, we should be competitive. To us, industriousness and ambition are positive values.

　　Whether in games, in study or in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the degree, the trophy(戰利品), and the contract. Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.

　　預測主題之第五位：紀律

　　Some people say that the best way to raise children is to them to be independent thinkers. Other people disagree and say that children need to be taught discipline in order to let them successful. In other word, children should either be granted freedom, or be given more discipline. I tend to agree with a policy of firm discipline.

　　The people whose view places emphasis on encouraging children to think freely hope the child will be able to understand and govern the world. The child is considered as an “equal” to the adult. This view has been popular in the western countries, where corporal punishment of children is now illegal. The concept of “rights” for children is part of a wider political movement that also asserts right for women, animals and environment.

　　Discipline is justified because adults are generally wiser than children. Discipline in childhood fosters(養育) the child for the hardship of his future life.

　　預測主題之第四位：自信

　　Confidence is power--the power to attract, persuade, influence, and succeed. Imagine what your life would be like if you had an abundance of selfconfidence ! Confidence isn't an inherited trait, it' s a learned one. This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.

　　The very first thing you have to do to create abundant self-confidence is to start thinking with confidence. Pay attention to your internal dialogue, and learn to notice when you allow negativity or doubt to control the course of your thinking.

　　Your environment has a tremendous influence on you. The books you read, the people you spend time with, and the music you listen to all influence the way you think and feel about yourself and the world around you.

　　If you're in a situation where you're discouraged, such as an unhealthy relationship or a miserable job, you have to change that situation if you want your self-confidence level to grow.

　　Create an environment that supports you if your desire to have abundant self-confidence. Spend time with confident people.
