I believe that everyone faces many challenges during different phases of life. All these challenges are inevitable. Sometimes, when we meet the difficulties, we will feel depressed and lose our head. To make it worse, we may decide to give up. However, our attitude is very important. I think that we should have a positive attitude. If we have a correct attitude, the life will be all different.

'

As far as I am concerned, I have experienced many obstacles. One of the challenges that I have never forgotten happened five years ago. At that time, I was a junior high school student. One day, my art teacher asked me to participate in an art contest because of my being good at drawing. At that moment, I felt a little bit scared and hesitated whether I have enough ability to join or not. Yet, my home room teacher and friends encouraged me and also gave me a big confidence. They said, ‘’ Just do it, you can make it. ’’ At last, I decided to join the contest. In order to produce an excellent work, I spent one month drawing. During this period of the time, I faced many difficulties. At first, I could hardly decide my topic. Then, I didn’t know use what to take on the topic best. At that time, I really wanted to give up. I thought that it was too difficult for me. Fortunately, with my art teacher’s encouragement and help, I finished my painting. Finally, I also got a good price. It was really unbelievable that I achieved the mission.

'

At last, I think that we should never give up. If we have a good positive attitude, we are willing to learn from our failure and try again until we succeed.

Labor education

Labor education is a kind of obligatory course for every freshman. Up to now, we have already practiced it for about two semesters. However, passing through these two semesters, I have many thoughts to talk about as follow.

'

At the beginning of doing the labor education in the first semester, I was really curious about why we had to do this in the college. In addition, my three groups were all in the morning. Thus, it was really painful that I had to get up early in the morning. At first, I really hated and felt a little irritated. I also couldn’t accept the fact that my cleaning scope was that big and I was the only cleaner. However, it seemed really terrible for me. After for a while, I changed my attitude and adapted myself to it. I gradually found that it was not that bad. The group leader is kind to us, and they would greet you with a big smile. It would let me have a good mood in the morning and give me a motive to go there to clean. Now, I am accustomed to the labor education. I think I can learn many things and also makes many friends from it.

'

Perhaps, that the school lets us do the labor education is truly meaningful. They want us to learn to do everything on our own accord and learn more from doing. Maybe it will help us a lot in the future.

Owing to the technology change at such a rapid pace, the camera changes a lot.

The camera increases many different functions. More and more people will use them to make the pictures looks more beautiful by using those functions. In addition, after they upload the pictures to the computers, they will also use some software to fix a slice in the image, such as remove their acnes, scars and wrinkles, white out their face, make their face much smaller, make their body become slender, or anything else. Why many people do this? One of the reasons is that they actually want to give other people a good impression. Moreover; nowadays, when we surf on the net, we will see many pictures about others everywhere. Then, it is really hard for us to determine whether they are true or fake. But I think it is usually contrast of the fact. Above all, it proves that the saying is not actually correct.

Assignment-Paparazzi

Now, you can hear “paparazzi” around your life very often. And Paparazzi gradually become a focus target in modern society. Everyone will discuss them frequently and has different opinions for the paparazzi. In my opinion, I think that they all bring different positive and negative effects in this society. However, they bring much more negative effects than positive ones.

Paparazzi usually appear in places where famous people-like entertainers, politicians- would go, and then they wait for the chance to catch what famous people do in their life with the camera. Because of their actions, they usually bring many persecutions to famous people. However, many people think if they do so, it will help many famous people become more and more well-known, and their popularity will get higher and higher.

In my opinion, I consider that their thoughts and conducts are not really proper. In addition, they never think about other’s thought. They just think about themselves because they want to obtain more benefits. It’s very shame about what they think. However, they also don’t notice that they have already intruded into people’s privacy in the meantime. Besides, they would use these clues to make some scandals appeared. Thus, everybody begins to incorrectly relay an erroneous message.

On the contrary, some paparazzi will also bring some good points to the society. They can help people supervise the government. They will catch some politicians who have improper behaviors. For instance, just like the politicians who corrupt, bribe, and go to improper place or anything else. Their conducts will be exposed immediately. Once the news spread, everybody will know. This is the one that bring positive effect to our society.

In conclusion, some paparazzi play an important role in our life occasionally.

They help people to keep a watchful eye on the politicians. Nevertheless, others are not. Instead, they disturb the society and bring many problems. I still don’t really agree that they intruded into people’s privacy. It is not a proper behavior.

My first winter vacation in college

In this winter vacation, I surely had a good time. I planned some schedules before the vacation to make my holidays more meaningful. I was happy that all the plans were achieved.

As a result of not having seen my old fiends for a long time, we decided to have a reunion. As soon as we saw each other, we couldn’t believe that everybody changed a lot. But the one still never change was our friendship. We were still crazy just like the past. On the other hand, I thought that our reunion was special this time because we planned to have a trip for two days. The first day, we went to Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village. Upon entering this place, it let us have good mood. One of the reasons was that the cherry trees blossomed everywhere. The sightseeing was very beautiful. Besides, the sun moon lake rope way was opened. It attracted many visitors. However, it was a pity that it was fixed on that day. Therefore, we didn’t have a chance to take it. The next day, we went to Sun Moon Lake. We went sightseeing to many scenic spots by boat. The scenery in Sun Moon Lake was really beautiful. I was really cherished when we got together for two days. We all had many unforgettable memories.

Moreover, I also had trips with my family. We went many places to visit. I liked the feeling that every family members could get together. It was very warm.

To sum up, my winter vacation was really substantial.

Backpacking travel and tour travel trip

Recently, many people enjoy taking trips around the world because of many people want to make their life more meaningful. Therefore, they will plan for their trips and also decide to their ways of traveling. Some people prefer to choose backpacking travel. Others will choose tour travel trip. I think that all two kinds of ways all have their similar and difference. That why people have different ideas about their traveling ways.

Backpacking travel and tour travel trip all have some similarities. Two of ways all can let people undergo many experiences. All you do or all you go in abroad maybe it will become your valuable experience. On the other side, you will learn how to overcome the challenges. Once when they are abroad, they probably have to face many problems and they have to try to solve them.

However, both of two ways all have differences. The backpacking travel is much free than our travel trip. You can choose where to go, where to eat, and where to live all by yourself. In addition, you have to be independent and face all the difficulties by yourself. It is unlike the tour travel trip because the tour travel trip has the tour guide to help you. For another tour travel trip, I think that you have to follow the plans which are planned by the agency. Your plans are limited. But one of the advantages is that the tour guide will help you a lot of things.

I think that two ways all have similarities and differences. And everyone have different opinions about for the trips. Thus, before you go to the trip, choose the way that is suit for you.
