The shelter place：)

There is a special place in the third floor my house. The light room is decorated with three main harmonious colors: blue sheet and blue curtain, wooden wardrobe and wooden desk, and then is the cream-colored walls and cream-colored housetop. This room likes simple and normal. But to me, the room is the best shelter. When I am in the bed mood, I would let the audio play the music loudly. It seems that the music form my audio knows about my bad feeling, and the music try to remove the bed feeling with its loud sound. I feel comfortable in this room; the cream-colored walls make a resist shadow for me. Everyone who wants to enter this room needs my permit. With the door closed, I could release my pressure. I would sleep well, study well in this small room. only this room can makes me feel this way, and it is my bedroom in Taichung.

Love : )

Love can be shown in many ways and it also has many different kinds. Love among relatives, love between lovers, and there are so many other kinds of love among people and people. Sometimes, love makes people strong. And take time to look around, you will found that love is in everywhere.

Love can be performed in many ways. A smile can make others feel warm from heart. A hug could delivery love as well. It is not about what things you have done, but is about the hearts. There an old Chinese saying said that” A little gift carries a lot of affection.” The small acts of love can make the one will become two. With one little action, the chain reaction will never stop. And someone’s love can make the others strong.

Love is one of the most important sources that people need in the world. People send it on and it can make the life even better.

Dreams : )

Everyone's dreams are different from person to person. And dreams would change all the time. A person might have many kinds of dreams, and has different dream in different age.

Take myself as an example, I dreamed to become a grown-up and I would do many things when I was little girl. I didn’t think about the job but thought about that an adult could do everything. Since I was not a little girl any more, I had thought about the work that I want to do in the future. When I was a student of junior high school, I liked English very much. I was thinking about to be a translator and live in Western country. Then I went to the English department and I felt an interest in Japanese in high school. Now, I am a college student and my dreamed job is something that related in Japanese and English. I would like to translator or an interpreter of these two languages.

Although some of my dream had changed, some dreams that have ever changed are that I want to make my parents have a best life in the future. I want my families stay in good health. Besides the part that I can really work on it, I would count on God.

Eat in ：)

There are many different choose for people to have a dinner or lunch in these day. Some people choose eat in a restaurant, some may choose eat at home. I prefer to eat at home for three reasons. I believe that eat at home can be healthier, cheaper and more convenient.

First, the menu is set by my own. I would try myself to have balanced food in each menu. Also, I would choose something that I want to eat. And I believe that eating at home has better environmental sanitation.

Second, I believe that eating at home would be cheaper than eating outside. I buy the food ingredients and I will know how much this menu would cost. If it is out of my budget, I can change the food ingredients.

Third, I don’t have to worry about where to have my lunch or dinner. I don’t have to worry about the weather is good or not, because I don’t have to go outside for the menu. I would having my dinner while I watching TV. I feel comfortable when I eating at home.

Last, everyone has his or her own opinion about eat in or eat out. For me, I would rather eat at home, because I think it is healthier, cheaper and also more convenient to me. And that’s why I choose eat in.

Live longer：)

Almost every person wants to live longer. In fact, people do live longer today than they did in the past. Statistical date shows that the Japanese is the race that live longest so far. The average of how long people live in Japan is about eighty years old. There have three main reasons that cause the phenomenon of people live longer than the past.

First, compare the past and nowadays, there were much fewer doctors in the past. And the knowledge of the medical was less than today. Because it was short of doctors in the past, only the rich can see the doctor when they get sick. Many poor people died of diseases. Today, people attach importance to health. And almost everyone has health insurance and can see the doctor when they feel uncomfortable or get flu. In brief, people have better medical care these days.

Second, the progress of technology is fast. New medical and new ways of cure diseases have been founding for the patients. Doctors are still doing research to help the diseases that can’t be cure in the past. Also, thanks to the better technology, people can live in a more convenient and safer life. People can use the machines to do something dangerous so that people live safer than they did in the past.

Third, people live in a better living environment than the past. People know that good living environment can make people feel better. And people also know the importance of the environment. So that, people would keep the house clean and sweep away the dirty things.

To sum up, the reason why people can live longer than the past not only because the living condition were tough, but also people have better medical care, better technology and better living environment these days. And as the change of the times, the living condition will keep improving. Maybe people can live even longer than they do now.

Higher education ：)

There are some systems of education are different form country to country. The countries of Western like America and England, the school time of students is shorter than the countries of the Asia. The western education system wants their students to have more time on their social life. And that is for students to stand alone and to make them get used to society earlier. The goal of the system is make students all be independence. Now comes to the students of Asia. The school system of Asia force the students have to spend a lots time in their school work. They have many classes and assignments. To get more and more knowledge from school is what an Asia student should do. The outcome of being school long time is that before the students finish their education, they may know nothing about the society. But without a doubt, that can also make students learn a lots form school. Last but not least, getting higher education is what every country wants. (comparison)

In the past, the education wasn't popularized. maybe look back upon the generation of my grandmother and grandfather. There was the time that education wasn’t popularized. The people in that generation usually only had the education of elementary school. There were a few men who could go to junior high school. However, the times are changing. Now, people all have to go to school until they finish their high school education, it is one of peoples’ duties. Usually, people choose to continue their studies in university. Recent years, there are more and more people go to graduate school to get master and doctor degree. (Time-order)

There is university students everywhere in Taiwan, the diploma of university might be the lowest diploma in Taiwan recent years. Taiwan had too many university and less and less students. The competition among universities made the grade of applying become lower. That means almost everyone can apply to a university. And that means because that almost everyone is a university student, the competition to get a better job would be harder. So, that’s why higher education is important to students in this age. The higher education you have, the more competitive you are. (cause-effect)
