SECTION A COMPOSITION

On Dormitories Security

It is reported that recently in quite a few universities, dormitories on campus have been broken into and burglaries have happened every now and then. Students have complained a lot that burglaries are like nightmares in their college years. I think it's high time that both students and universities did something to reduce and eliminate this kind of crime.

On the one hand, there are some measures which universities can take. First, universities should have all the dormitory doors and windows checked, find out and repair the broken ones so that thieves cannot go in easily. Second, the number of university security staff should be increased. Security personnel should patrol on campus and cross-question any suspicious person. On the other hand, students should also do something to protect their belongings. First, when they leave their dormitories, they should keep doors and windows locked to keep out sneak thieves. Second, students should lock their valuables up in lockers. In this way, they can reduce the risks of burglaries happening.

In one word, both students and universities should do something to reduce burglaries in dormitories. And only in a safe dormitory can a student lives and studies happily.

Dear Clare,

Thanks a lot for inviting me to attend your graduation ceremony this weekend. However, I will be out of town by that time. I have to go to Guangzhou for a job interview which is very important for me. What a pity! I wish you a splendid future and I will surely bring you gift from Guangzhou.
