(1)大学生结婚
(2)有些人赞成,有些人却表示担心
(3)你的看法?
①The government's allowance that college students may get married triggers a controversial debate: is it sensible to legalize on-campus marriage? Some people welcome this new development, while others have expressed their concern about it.
Those who take sides against this new trend believe that married students will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life because they have more real-life problems to deal with than those unmarried ones.
One common argument, however, for on-campus students' marriage is that a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. Now that they have come of age, they are entitled to such happiness.
I'm in favor of the former. On-campus students are laden with academic tasks. If they get married now, they have to work much harder than any other student because they have to solve their financial problems at the same time.

June 16, 2012
Dear Sean,
①Recently I have noticed that you have been smoking heavily, which is becoming a serious problem. As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with that terrible smell. The ashtray always overflows with cigarette butts.
You are ruining your health, destroying brain cells which can never be replaced, not to mention the damage to your lungs and windpipes. Smoking, especially heavy smoking, correlates highly with lung cancer. It is possible that you'll be caught up with it. I'm not scaring you. Besides, smoking is also harmful to the health of our roommates and the friendship among us. The roommates avoid being in the bedroom for fear of being polluted. As a result, the brotherhood among roommates is gradually fading.
If I were you, I would try to get rid of the bad habit. It is not difficult to break away from it if you are really determined to quit. Remember 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. I will always be there to help, if you need.
Yours sincerely,
Jim
