How to Think about Failure

The Value of Failure Nowadays, everyone is pursuing so-called success, which is regarded by the others or just by himself. On the way to success, some make it, and inevitably some fail. In the modern world most people think much of the importance of being successful, but they ignore another important point——the value of failure, which also plays an crucial role in pursuit of succeeding. As Prof. Zinsser said in his essay College Pressures, "defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world", similarly speaking, failure is as instructive as success and is the mother of success. So we must appreciate failure just as we do to success, for nobody can succeed in every field. Therefore, we should recognize the value of failure. Firstly, failure can tick your disadvantages off. In many cases, failure comes just because of disadvantages of some little details. The ones who succeed usually have much less disadvantages in the aspects relevant to success than those who fail. Failures who succeed in getting over their disadvantages will acquire achievement more smoothly; in other words, with less disadvantages they will succeed more easily than before. Knowing the disadvantages makes the road to success flat. Secondly, failure can improve you. In virtue of failure, you will recognize that you can still make an improvement in certain aspect. It also will help you make it. For instance as is known to all, the famous inventor Thomas Alva Edison tried hundreds of times to find the most suitable material as filament. That meant Edison failed hundreds of times, too. Hence, he kept experimenting on the materials, and finally he found the most suitable one as filament, which meant he succeeded in finding the material as filament. Finally, failure can make you value success. As an inevitable process to most people when they are chasing success, failure could make them cherish and treasure the result after they hold the possession of success, for it is often that people do not value their achievements that are gained without too much difficulty. Thus, failure can play a role that makes the achievements more valuable and vital. In conclusion, failure can strengthen you and straighten up your insufficiency. Moreover, failure also makes the achievements that you gain more venerable to yourself. Failure is not uncommon; on the contrary, failure is normal. In addition, failure is not the end of life. Therefore, everyone should treat failure in a common sense. To sum up, failure can teach you more than success can in many different aspects; the value of failure should also be appreciated.

I Love Music

I think everyone likes some type of music.It is a bridge,transmitting friendship between you and me;it is like a flower,sending frangrance to every corner of the world;it is like rain,watering every withered plant.We can't question its effet,it's really something.Sometimes “it can really makes me cry”.And sometimes “the songs will make you obliterate all the sorrows from your mind.”Without music,the world couldn't be so lively.　Music came into my life when I was very young.At that time,of course ,what I listened to were only children’s songs.But those songs made me happy.As I grew up,I was accompanied by the songs my monther and teachers taught me.Now I enjoy many kinds of music.Like many others teenagers,I like pop music.They are exciting and full of vitality.Many of them are love songs.I think we can listen to these songs,and they can also bring us happiness as long as we don’t take them too seriously.Liu Dehua is my favorite singer.He is handsome and energeic.And I enjoy his low and pure voice,which is full of emotion.　As for instruments,I like the flute most.I have bought some tapes of music played by flutes.The sounds of flutes is sweet and agreeable.I’m learning to play the flute,though I know it’s difficult and perseverance is needed.　Music can change one’s mood.When I am nervous,I listen to music.Soft music can calm me down.When I am alone,I listen to music,and it makes me not feel lonely.Some songs can give you confidence and courage.”Try again from the begaining “is one of those.There is also a line telling us to strive for success:’No matter joy or failure,the flower of success blooms in tears.”Music can also make you feel relaxed.How boring the world would be if there were no songs!　Music makes our life more colorful

My Father

An aged man is sitting at his desk, a cup of tea in front of him, the lamp reflected on his thick glasses, the light shinning on his thin-haired head: he is writing with all his heart. Sometimes he stops, thinks for a while and then goes on. As time goes by, as the clock ticks, the sound of his pen running rapidly on the paper becomes clearer and clearer, in the entirely silent midnight.　　The man is my father, a star maths teacher. When I was little, I felt asleep with this comforting sound, feeling secure at the thoughts that my father was by my side. For hundreds of times I told myself to stay up to find out when the sound would end, but I've never succeeded. "Shing-shing", Father was writing; "Tick-tick", the clock was going, while my eyelids were closing. The next morning, a warm hand would pat me and a tender voice would turn up by my ears. "Wake up!" Then I would wake up, wondering how I fell asleep, and when the sound ended last night. That remained a mystery to me through my childhood.　　"Tick-tick" the clock is going; "Shing-shing" the pen is running. Time goes by and never turns back again. I am growing up. The students surrounding my father turn from my elder brothers and sisters, to my schoolmates of my age, now to my younger brothers and sisters. Father teaches year by year, keeps devoting all he has to his students, to his career, to his beloved maths. Hair thinned, glasses thickened, body bent, face wrinkled, father is just like a candle that is to burn out. Does he feel sorry? No! Never did and never will! It seems that he has an endless ardor to maths, and he never regrets having chosen to be a teacher, the most honorable career in the world.　　"Tick-tick" the clock is going; "Shing-shing" the pen is running. Time flows by and never gives a remark. During my hard days, when I felt tired and wanted to laze, when I stopped working and turned off my lamp, at that moment, the light of my father's lamp went silently through the windows, shinning on my desk, shinning up my mind; the sound "Shing-shing" came into my ears, reminding me of my duty. Then I would be ashamed of my blameful thoughts and deeds, and pick up my pen, turn on the lamp again.　　"Tick-tick" the clock is going; "Shing-shing" the pen is running. Time flies by and never ends. Now I am a college student, making grade at university, writing this article at dormitory, far away from my father in distance. But father will never be far away from me. Wherever I go, whatever I do, there is only one thing I am sure about: my father will keep his eyes on me, his beloved daughter, the little baby in his arms, the sleepy child in the bed beside him, the grown girl working at her own desk with him.　　They say time can do anything, can change anything. I don't believe it. Time has carve my father's figure in my heart, but time can never erase it. When all my memories, sweet or bitter, happy or sad, when all of them fade away, the image of my father will remain, the sound will remain, the love, will do remain.　　God has been so good, blessing me with my father, the best man of the world in my eyes. I love you, Father.

Some Words to My Mom

Mom, do you remember on Feb 19th ,1988? After enduring several hours’ suffering you bought me to this world. It’s said that a woman is half dead in the course of childbirth. But for you, must be far more than that because you are disabled with a poor health. Thank goodness, we both survived. Mom, since the moment you called me daught, you have been taking the responsibility of a mother. And all in your life till now, you have been loving me heart and soul, keeping me safe from harm though you are not strong enough yourself. People all said you spoiled me too much (. And every time when they spoke ironically:“ Only you have a daught, don’t you?” Your reply was always like this:“ Yes, I do.” Proudly as you replied. Mom, in my memory both dad and you seldom beat me up because you don’t think that it is a good way to educate. However, there is one I never forget. It was a summer afternoon. When you came home as usual and found me playing with some kids near the well. You yelled at me and forced me back home. I didn’t think I would get a thrash but I was wrong that time. You whipped me hard with your knitting needles in spite of my begging cry. But after that, you cried with me and told me that how you cared for me because you were afraid that I would drown in the well. So from then on I dare not to play near the well and the like any more. Not because I am afraid of being thrashed but because I am afraid of your tears. Mom, I mention this doesn’t mean I have a grudge against you. Oppositely, I am thankful because you let me know how great a mother’s love is. Thank you, mom. There are still so many things I want to tell you mom, but I’d like talk with you when I am back home. Mom, I really want to see you now even thought I am far from you. Here I wish you a good health and happiness of your life.

A Special Day for Me

The Most Important Day in My Life “Do you have any unforgettable experiences?” This is a question I often ask my group member to answer when we practice teaching. Today, I will not ask myself of this question instead. And my answer to this question is absolutely “yes”. Now I would like to share it with you. It was on a rainy day, like today, three years ago. My parents and I get on the coach which was from Wanzhou to Yongchuan. It was the first time that I left home for a faraway place. It was also the first for me to have such a trip. We reached our destination-Westen Chongqing University in the afternoon. My parents arranged everything well for me, from soap to shampoo, or something like that. The next morning my parents brought delicious food for me and wake me up from my bed. “It is time to get up. You know, a few days later, you would be in the classroom at this time. Wake up! Wake up!” After breakfast, they hurried to go back home. On the way to the station, I realized that parents would leave me for home. I would be alone in school. Thinking about all these in my mind, tears gushed in my eyes. I would be alone in school. That is to say, I would be independent from my parents from now on, I would do everything by myself, and I would deal with all the things in life myself. I was helpless and at a loss at that time, like a bird with not yet full-fledged wings which cannot fly high in the sky. As time went by, I started to get used to the new way of life. But I was frequently homesick and often cry silently in my bed in the night. However, three years later, now, when I recall all these in my mind and I found that I started to become a brave and independent girl. And it is to my parents that I owe what I am today. This is the most important day in my life.How about

Recently I always think about my college years in China,I am missing China now
I am proud of being a college student. I like my college life as it is so wonderful time in my youth.I set a goal and felt confident to be a college student. After hard study, I passed the entrance examination of national college by excellent achievement. All people were proud of me, as I was the first college student in my village. I was farewell warmly by them when I came to school. I was warmly welcome by school, too. After then, I’ve felt my study is not only for myself but also for the honor of my parents and our school. The college life is wonderful. All life in school are fresh. New teachers, new classmates and fresh friends are around me. I’ve felt their friendship, wide knowledge and opening mind. The grand library, school buildings and wide playground are very attracting to me. I am very eager to learn much knowledge quickly. In high school, I was ever called as a runner before time. Now,I know I am behind time so much in fact. I hope to catch up with the time by my hard studying. Every day, you can see me get up early, doing exercise hard and go to school the first one. At night, I am the one who leaves away the library. I met much difficulties at math, physics and other courses, even though I used to be good at these sciences. Therefore, I learn these courses myself after class. After three months, the exmination indicated that I overcame all the difficlties. I also improved my listening and spoken ability of Chinese quickly. Communication is very important to my college life. I study English hard as well. It makes me have many chances to communicate with foreigners. I made friends with many foreign teachers and students. From them, I learn many knowledge about foreign cultures. The computer room is another place I like to staying. I contact the outside world by the internet. All the News, advance science, and the information about internal and outside of China.

A good Momery in China

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore? I was like that ship before my education began, only I had no way of knowing how near the harbor was. The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrast between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old. On the afternoon of that exciting day, I guessed vaguely from my mother’s signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. I felt approaching footsteps. I thought it was my mother and stretched out my hand. Someone took it, and then I was caught up and held close in the arms of the person who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more important than that, to love me. The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word “d-o-l-l”. I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was filled with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I simply made my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way many words, among them, “pin”, “hat”, “cup”, and a few verbs like “sit”, “stand” and “walk”, but my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. One day while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan gave me my old doll, too. She then spelled “d-o-l-l” and tried to make me understand that “d-o-l-l” applied to both. Earlier in the day, we had a struggle over the two words “m-u-g” is “mug” and “w-a-t-e-r” is “water” , but I persisted in mixing up the two. I became impatient and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it on the floor, breaking it into pieces. I was not sorry after my fit of temper. In the dark, still world, I had no strong sentiment for anything. My teacher brought me my hat, and I knew we were going out into the warm sunshine. We walked down the path to the well-house. Someone was drawing water, and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand, she spelled into the other word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still; my whole attention was fixed upon the movements of her finger. Suddenly I seemed to remember something I had forgotten — a thrill of returning thought – and the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that the “w-a-t-e-r” meant that wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul and set it free. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house, every object which I touched seemed to be full of life. That was because I saw everything with a strange, new sight that had come to me. On entering the door I remembered the doll I had broken. I felt my way to the fragments and tried in vain to put them together. Then my eyes were filled with tears, for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt sorry. I learned a lot of new words that day. It would have been difficult to find a happier child than me when I lay in my small bed that night and thought of the joys that day had brought to me, and for the first time I longed for a new day to come.

I feel I am grown up

Time flies, these days I realized I have been in America by myself for almost a year. That means a lot for me, because I used to be a girl who was never far from family, far from parents’ care. So I think I am grown up now. I can tell from I know how to live on my own, how to try my best to get thing done well, how to make myself to get closer to my life target.
I am grown up because I know how to live on my own. I didn’t use to know how to live on my own when I was in China. Parents did a lot thing for me. For example doing laundry for me, sending me to school, picking clothes for me, they also told me that I shouldn’t do anything because it is bad. But now I pretty sure I am doing everything on my own. I guess environment taught and force me to learn how to live on my own with taking good care of myself. First I know health is most important thing for me to live overseas by myself. So I am eating regularly and healthy. I am working out like American everyday, I care about my body. Another thing I have to face is sometimes live on my own is an experience that is full of loneliness. I always stay home by myself most time to deal with my class stuff or think about my plan for that day like when is the best time to go shopping, when I get to cook dinner for me or how to hang out with my friend on weekends. I am grown up I am living on my own, and I am doing good.
I am grown up because I know how to try my best to get things done well. I was not good at getting things down well before. But now I learned how to do it. For example I work on my school stuff everyday. I write essay and revise it. To make it better ,I look through information on-line, or borrow some book from school library or talk with my writing center tutor or pay attention when I hang out with my friends, try to learn something. All I want is get my essay done well. For my theater class, I work on our team project with my team members together. I want to finish it better, so I have been to library a lot to look at information or borrow some books about theater. Finally I cooperate with my team members pretty well, get our project really successful.
I am grown up because I am trying my best to get closer to my life target. All I am doing now is for my life target, to be a successful business woman. I feel I am getting closer to my life target through going to college, live on my own, making a lot of friends. Staying in college is the first step to be a successful business woman. I am learning in college, I am getting smarter. I know what I want in my life, that I want to do in my life and how to make it easier to close my target. Secondly making a lot friends do help me to realize what I need learn from others to make myself better. Living on my own is an important way to get me closer to my life target. It makes me to know myself well, to push me go through something tough which is good for me.
I can tell I am grown up because I know how to live by myself, how to get things done well, how to get closer to my life target. I feel I am getting my whole life together, walking toward my future.

mobile phone

Mobile phones absolutely are a important part in out daily life,I believe people would be umconfortable without them.But anything has its good point and bad point. But i think mobile phone reallt brought a lot convinence to people's life.I am of the opinion that the mobile phone has made our life much easier.Firstly,communication is made a lot easier with the advent of the mobile phone.A mobile phone is carried all over the places with us in pockets,attached to the belt or in handbags.We can call any people we want no matter where is he.It is so easy and fast.Some even walk around with mobile phones in their hands.This will make it easy for everyone to contact us no matter where we are as long there is signal for the telecommunication service.We never have to worry about not being able to contact anyone.This is the first convinence we enjoy with a mobile phone.Secondly,short messaging service or in short SMS is a popular feature for mobile phones.Most mobile phone users send SMS regularly to friends,passing short messages,important data,greetings and jokes.Texting is easy to deal with,we can hold our friend any time we want,even they are working.Because it is so fast and easy to text.This helps to strengthen their relationship with better communication.For professional purposes vital data can be sent without a fuss to the recipient or a co-worker who is out of the office.Previously,we would have to look for a fax machine to do the same task.That is a big hassle.Moreover sending SMS is cheap,hence the popularity is understandable.Finally,with sophisticated technology,mobile phones can be used to access the Internet,watch television pro grammes,listen to music,play games,join contests,check on cinema and restaurant listing,check on traffic summonses,confirm university acceptance and send image messaging service.

Many features will be available as technology improves further.Therefore,I believe a mobile phone has brought innumerable convinence and ease to us.

Computer's influence on people

In the last hundred years,people have set a new mind-blowing rate for the developing of new technologies. New produces are being conceived every minute of every day, all of which will impact people in some respects. However,in all these technologies and produces computers have been the most important influences on people. Some people assert that computers have made life more complex and stressful, while some people believe that computers have made life easier and more convenient. From my point of view, the advantages of computers are the leading sides and computers become a necessary part in people＇s lives. Perhaps computers may quicken our pace of life and make our life more complex and stressful. With the development of computers almost every jobs need people who are well up in computer technology. People, who want to find a good job, must learn how to use computers. On one hand,the computer technology is a very complex subject. If you want to use computers very well, you must take a lot of time to study and practice it. On the other hand, computers develop so fast that people must study new technology constantly. Those all make people feel stressful. Even though there may be one or two disadvantages to develop computers, the advantages fast outweigh them. The major point for my penchant for computers is that computers can help people do many things, including complex computation, storing and searching information and some work that is dangerous for people to do. For instance launching a rocket up to outer pace needs so complex computation that people can not do it without computers; searching the newest information is of vital importance for business, so people will not be success in business without computers. Computers have facilitated many of our working processes and we have already grown dependent on them. Another advantage of computers is that people can use them for entertainment in spare time. From pc games to online chatting, computers have the ability to entertain us in a wide verity of ways. After a busy day, playing pc games is the favorite thing of most of my classmates. And in today＇s life, a lot of young people could have not televisions, but they must have a set of computer. Now many films display fascinating images by using computers to deal with them. In a word in spite of the fact the computer appears to have made life more complex and stressful, I fell that the advantages are more obvious. Computers have become an integral part of everyday life. They can help us do much work and make us funny.

Some thought about protecting our environment

Many people are active in fighting against unfair treatment to colored people, women , animals and so on. Right now I am talking about fighting for respect to our environment. Though the environment doesn’t have a mouth to deprecate what humans have done to her, she retaliates through action. In the early years the Chinese cut down large quantities of trees, at the source of the yellow river, which led to the disappearance of big forests and terrible floods. As a result,the Huangtu plateau which was once covered with grass and forests was turned into barrens that supported fewer plants. Another example was in several developed countries. Because many chemical factories discharged poisonous gas without filtering it, cities were covered with so much poisonous gas that people were killed by the air they breathed in. What horrible scene!
What we are suffering is only a small part of what the nature once suffered. If we don’t take action to show respect to the environment, we will have to face an increasingly awful situation.
Measures should be taken to protect the environment on which we are relying. First governments should forbid destroying vegetation, rivers and lakes, oceans, as and the atmosphere as well. Second voices should be made to announce the public of the importance of protecting the environment. Third enterprises should pay special attention to the effect they have on the environment and work out solutions for the problems.
Only by changing the way we treat the environment can we get along well with it. Only by saving the environment can we save ourselves.

My Freshman Year in College

We will never forget my freshman year in college. In general it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.
College is much different than high school. You may decide to commute from your home to a local campus. Without doubt, the most dramatic freshman year is for those living away from home. What can we expect as we head off into the wonderful world of higher education?
The first thing I notice is the workload. It is heavier and more intense than I ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are large volume of reading, short deadlines, and “endless” writing. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and loneliness if possible.
On some of those long, seemingly endless nights of studying and writing, it will be very natural for me to long for fine old days. Hang in there. These down periods will pass.
I have made a lot of new friends. I am sure college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term in my life. It's always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.
I am enjoying my newfound freedom. Stay up until dawn talking about my ideals and ambitions with my dorm's regular bull session buddies. Sleep in until the afternoon on a light class day. Explore the local town or suburbs with one or two of my new friends.
I even start to think about my future. Going to college is as much about finding out who am I as it is about getting the degree.

Some Things Chinese college Students should Learn from American College Students


I have been studied in America for almost a year. I am already accustomed the American education system. With time going on, I find out some points that our Chinese colleges are good to learn from American colleges. We Chinese colleges should pay attention the importance of teamwork. We also set ourselves in an independent situation.
I found out American colleges pay attention on teamwork. They would like to take time to have a team meeting or something to talk about their project in detail, then everyone would get his work. That is really an effective way to work on the team project. Every member in this team get a chance to work on this project, at the same time it does make the project go on fluently. Everyone has his own focus about his project. After each member finish his work, team members will meet again for putting all the information together. To make the project look more smooth, team members get together to give some suggestion about how to revise the detail in this project. During time, team members meet when they feel they need talk more about project. Our Chinese college is better at doing stuff by ourselves. We don’t pay attention on teamwork. Even though we got a team project, we won’t meet during the time that we work on it. Chinese college do own job instead of communicating much. When time is right, Chinese colleges will meet as the first time to put things together no matter it is responsible or not. This is no good for our academic study.
American colleges’ independence impresses me from the first day when I meet my first American friend. They are always busy because they need get good grades at school and make money to support their living expense or more. They work during school year and summer time and winter time. If we go to some store near campus, those employees are all colleges. Colleges take all the job position. At the same time work on campus is another way to make money. They learn work experience through work from real and can reduce parents’ stress for sure. However, Chinese colleges are still parents’ babies. Parents support everything of our expense. Chinese colleges think study is our only work for colleges. Other thing like working for real is going to be something after graduating. They don’t want to worry about it yet, just enjoy our college time. But truth proves that American college always more capable then Chinese colleges, which can be found in work for real in the future. Because American colleges already know what’s the way in career. They understand that because they went through when they were very young.
Those are what I found out the differences between American colleges and Chinese colleges. I do think those are something worthy to learn for our Chinese colleges. That would help us a lot in the future.

Some thoughts about life

As we grow, we learn many things about life. Some of these lessons are easy and some are difficult. What is the best way to learn them? Some believe that they can learn best by listening to the advice of others, while some people believe that it is better to learn through personal experience. Both methods have their advantages. In the first case, learning by listening to others, we have the benefit of learning from others’ mistakes and are thus being able to avoid them ourselves. We can take advantage of the experience and wisdom of our friends and family. This will help us to make better decisions and avoid costly errors. Furthermore, the people who know us well can advise us effectively because they understand our strengths and weak nesses. At the same time, they are sometimes able to see situations more objectively than we are. In the second case, learning through doing, we have the advantage of gaining meaningful experience. We will no doubt better remember the lessons we learn when we enjoy the rewards or suffer the consequences ourselves. Moreover, we can often develop other skills through personal experience and can learn from our mistakes. Finally, no two people are exactly alike. Therefore, what family and friends think may be suitable for them, but not appropriate for us. Given a choice between these two ways of learning about life, I would still choose the former, learning through the advice of others. This is because I believe I should take advantage of all the resources available, and the experiences of my family and friends are a valuable resource. For example, if I were preparing to take my first trip abroad on my own, the advice of others who have already experienced such a trip could only help me. Just as we can learn from history, we can learn from the past actions of those close to us. In conclusion, I find advantages in both ways of learning. Although I prefer to learn by listening to the advice of others, that does not mean I will forgo learning through my own experiences. It does mean, however, that I will approach new experiences with the added benefit of my family and friends’ good advice.

What I learned in 110 Writing Class

Today when I worked on my paper, I realized I learn a lot in my writing class. I know the first important thing is to state a specific thesis. I need to use body paragraphs to support the thesis is something. I need use specific example when I state a main idea.
A specific is an important step to start my paper. If there isn’t a proper thesis, it would be hard to continue following paragraphing. I got this class in once paper writing experience. My thesis in my loss paper was too general. So I had a hard time to write my body paragraphs. No matter what I wrote, I didn’t feel satisfied about it. It was really hard to go on the next step, so there was no way to get an essay done well. It made body paragraphs too general, too. Everything is hard to go on due to it.
Body paragraphs need to support thesis. Paragraphs serve for thesis, they make readers to believe my thesis is responsible, is worthy to trust. It isn’t an easy job that just flows like water. It should be something that is persuadable and appeal to people to read the whole essay.
Specific examples used in body paragraphs are necessary. One example is better than any state to support the main idea in each body paragraphs. In my essay paper, I used to ignore to cite an example to support the main idea. So that is why I didn’t get a good grade in my paper. No example means too general, no detail to explain main idea. However, college writing’s evaluation wants to see our specific detail on every parts of essay.
In my writing 110 class, I got to know the 3 important points that I should refer to in a good essay. Specific thesis, strong body paragraphs to support thesis, and detailed example to support main idea that is in each body paragraph. Missing any one of them won’t get a successful essay.

My consumption on Clothes

I am a love shopping girl,I think most girls love shopping.Loving shopping means spend a lot money on shopping.I am a shopping-lover,and i do spend a lot money on shopping.
The stuff which I spend money on mostly are clothes .In my opinion,the reason why i shop so much on clothes has two sides.I can say one side is my internal element,the other is business element.
I am a girl,girls love beautiful stuff.Cute clothes make girls cuter.Girls would like spend a lot time on walking around,looking for those clothes which and fit them best.Even just walking around,not really buy clothes,that is also enjoyable for girls.
Clothes stores try to think every means to attract girls to come visit their store.For example,i bought many shirts in some store.i spent a lot money in that store,so that store gave me a VIP card,so next time i consume here again.i can save 50 dollars .That is a good deal,but because i really spend a lot in that store.This way can attract me to visit their store and consume always for that good deals.Actually I planed to go that store this weekend.So I don't need pay a lot for my stuff.I think I will not go to other stores recently,because this store give me a good deal.I will keep going.
I admit I love buying clothes.Actually I really don't need that much.But how can I control myself if i am the VIP in clothes store,knowing i can buy cute clothes for a lower price.That is girls' nature,also business-man's means.

Facebook’s Influence on Me

I knew the facebook through my oral English teacher who is American when I was in China. He invited me to become his on-line friend on Facebook. The first time I heard its name, I guessed it was another networking social like I had some already. My guess got proved. It is a networking social, like my “on campus” which is famous in China.
I wasn’t addicted on facebook initially.I even didn’t check my account once a week. Because not many Chinese people know facebook, all we are using is “on campus”. I did log in my “on campus” a lot, about three to four times everyday. Facebook couldn’t get my interest at all. Things changed when I got America. I found my new American friends always asked my facebook’s account, so they can keep in touch me on facebook. With I add a lot more friends there, the times I login facebook increased to four to five times everyday. I always want to check if some new friends I just met for real try to add me on facebook. Every time when I sit before my laptop,I wouldn’t check my school mailbox first. Instead I check my facebook first. It obviously becomes my daily habit. Even the last thing right before I turn off my laptop also is to check my facebook.I text message to my old or new friends. They reply my message. It is really simply to contact any people on my friends list on facebook. We all enjoy this way. I do spend a lot time there, looking at pictures, new friends’ profiles, and diaries. Even I have a lot homework to do, I still login facebook to see what’s new today. So facebook waste my time even though I don’t want that happen.
Another side, facebook helped me a lot because its social property. I sold my
seond-handed books to my schoolmate there. They saw my list on marketplace on facebook. And my roommate now contacted me through facebook. I put on my list-looking for roommates. She would like me to be her roommate, so she sent a message to me on facebook. We are going along so well as roommates. Facebook do help me a lot. I am sure I will ask for help from it more in the future.
Any new technology invention must bring good point to human beings, at the same time. There must be bad side .For me,face book bring me many new friends,let me get what I want. But it also waste my time which am supposed to be made use of on study. But nobody can help me only I can help myself.Try to make facebook help me more not giving me bad influence.

“Jia, maybe u are a big tree” my buddy told me this, when I was standing straight on the playground, not doing morning physical excises like others student by the music. From that time, I realized I did have something in common with a big tree .Trees is absorbing nutrients, going through four seasons, being clipping branches just like me learning knowledge, experiencing variety of frustration, getting advice from surrounding people.


“Jia, you are a big tree” my buddy told me this when I was standing straight on the playground, not doing morning physical excises like other students. My friend around laughed out once they heard this. I thought it was more funny words than making sense. Trees are plants, they can’t speak, can’t move around. However I am a person, can talk can move, having emotion. The only point we share is I am standing straight like a big tree. With time passing, I gradually realized I do have something in common with a big tree. I am learning knowledge, going through variety of frustration, getting help and advice from the surrounding people as if a tree is absorbing nutrients from the soil, going through coldness in winter, being clipping branches by gardeners.

Feel good about writing center tutor

When I had somehow certain doubt about if it is worth to go to Writing Center once a week. Because I was a little confused what is gonna going on. How much my tutor can help me. This concern disappeared as soon as I walked into that Writing Center office.
My tutor Katie is so nice and kind, She walk toward me, said “I am your tutor, now let me take you go our offices, you can choose any office you like just depends which one you like. Then I chose the left one. I took out my peer letter instruction showed it to my tutor. I told her this was my first time to write a peer letter, I didn’t know how to construct a peer letter. I even didn’t know what point I need refer.
My tutor explained immediately, “it is a letter, so first of all you need address ‘Dear…’,then just tell what information you got from his essay, such as what is the thesis, main ideas in every support paragraphs. Try telling you feeling about his essay. You also can tell him which part you like most. You even can ask some questions that affect your understanding of essay or interest you.”After I heard this, I became much clearer about peer letter. I know what I should do in this peer letter.
Anyway I just wanna say my first meeting with my tutor is successful. I believe my tutor will help me a lot about my writing ability

Some Thinking about Texting

Some thinking about Text

Texting already became an important part of communicating in daily life. Its good points are fast, in time, easy, cheap than making a call, people having fun to play around their phones. However, in my opinion, I still can tell some bad points about texting, such as reducing the intimacy, too fast to say some words in your heart, misunderstanding .
People can establish a connection with anyone else by shorthand so easily, and anything can be dealt by texting .Otherwise a real talk that needs an appointment, a certain place, a specific time and so on. Sometime real face-to –face communication can bring certain inevitable awkward or intimacy.
It seems like there is no reason to have a real face- to- face talk. People appreciate this simple way to communicate. I think people ignore a real face-to face talk is an emotion communication. Developing people’s emotion need feel each other’s existence through hearing the voice, looking at each other for real. For example, Chinese parents are eager to see their kids during some Chinese Spring Festival .But some daughters or sons choose travel with their wife or husband in festival, because it is a good time to travel around. They just send their parents text messages, says:”Happy Spring Festival”. I think they don’t mind this, but they do miss their kids, they wanna see them, talk to them about life or work. So texting make parents hard to see their kids in festival.
Texting is no doubt fast, but it is too fast to tell real words in people minds. People like simple stuff, they try to make text simpler than it is supposed to be, like “see you” u can type:”cy”. The text receiver can understand it for sure, but do they really feel something that is deeper than its word. It isn’t text receiver’s fault, because the text sender didn’t tell something in his mind emotionally.
Simple texting also causes misunderstanding to a thing. For example, a young couple argued earlier. They are texting each other, debating whose fault or something. Due to the simple texting without voice, either one only can imagine another’s thinking. Misunderstanding is inevitable. That is gonna make the argument worse.
Texting is such a fast way to find anyone you wanna connect. But it has some bad points still. People can go ahead to text if they are in a hurry. However people can’t depend on text all the time. They should sit before their family or friends ,having a real talk.
