Changping. a 22-year-old student from Hainan University, said that if he would decide on starting his business, he’d certainly return to his hometown, Xiangfan ，in Hubei Province.

In Binjiang Park last weekend, a voluntary organization called “Green Home” launched a campaign to promote recycling. As can be seen in our daily life, overconsumption of resources has become a common practice, making it urgent to arouse people’s awareness of recycling. There exists the popularity of various kinds of packing bags for goods and what we are supposed to do is to reuse them. In this way, we will consume less resource so the environment is protected to some extent. Besides, if we try our utmost to recycle everything reusable in our life, we can also save some money.
读写任务：（One possible version）
Post-80s graduates hold different views towards job choices. Some, like Changping, will head back home to avoid the competition and pressure in big cities, while others, like Chen haihua, would prefer to stay in big cities to seek a better job.
Working in a big city is of course an exciting thing, which means better opportunities and more conveniences. It’s easier to find a well-paid job or a better platform to improve oneself. While in a small town, where there are not so many elites to compete with, one can easily avoid the pressure from fierce competition in big cities to live a rather cosy life.
As for me, a girl from a remote village, I would rather struggle in a big city like Shenzhen to make a living than go back to my hometown. Though hard, struggling itself may gain me enough experience of doing business.
Therefore, after graduation, I will choose a big city as the start of my career. Thanks to the intense competition, I can grow into an experienced and competitive person, which does good to my later development.
