In my opinion, it would not be a wise decision to allow college students to get married。
2、观点不明态度暧昧
失败案例：
Topic--Should college students be allowed to get married?

3、渐行渐远 离题千里
失败案例：
Topic---It is said that nowadays one can not acquire the qualifications and quality essential to success through university education. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?
I think to success, we must have a lot of important qualities. To have these important qualities, we must learn a lot of things, for example, English, music, and etc. We can learn these qualities from our teachers, our friends and from books. All in all, we can learn from many places。

Topic 4- The advantage of being a nice person
Being a nice person have many advantage. I believe if a person always does bad things, he will get “baoying”。
