Fast equal to health?

           With the high develop of technology today, sometime effective is the key access to success. As a result, fast food seems have more customers than other food stores. However, is that good for people's health?
           From my point of view, we will never forget the benefit since fast food come to the market. First, the low price, almost everybody can afford a meal with meat. Second, without waiting long time, people can eat their lunch during the break and have extra time to relax,but in some other restaurants,by the time people got their food, time is almost up, so that people have to hurry up eat and back to work. Third, combing food and entertainment together enrich people's meal time.
           On the other hand, fast food is not good for the most important thing in our life--- health. No balance nutrition and too much fry and oil could cause people weak. What's more, the over cream and meat are full of chlorate could cause high blood and many terrible disease.
           Therefore, even though fast food have a lot of advantage part for people, the disadvantage part are murderer who kill our health. That's why I prefer do not eat that much fast food.

Why people need astronomical projects?

                With the high speed develop of technology, now-days human-being is not only a nation whose goal is basic living stuff, but also able to search somewhere outside the earth. At the same time, if  governments should spend that much money for building telescopes and sponsoring astronomical projects  has been a hot issue among a lot of people. In my opinion, I turn to believe government could support them as the following reasons:
                First of all, astronomical research can avoid potential catastrophe from outer space. As we know, the reason cause dinosaur extinct is comet hit the earth. Just in case something happen like that, do research will help scientists analyzes and do some prediction. From that point, the advantage of doing research is obvious and it seems worth to use money to do something could save human.
               Second, It will be a good example for next generation. Image when kids studying about astronomic, teacher tell students that the research on astronomic have been stopped cause money issue. Most of the kids will admire that astronomic is not an important subject so that government give up to pay any cent on it. As a result, kids and parents are easy to regard being a scientist in astronomic field will have no future. Astronomic will never be improved.
               Finally, for individual person's goal and human-beings dream. The person who get new information about astronomic may have feeling of fulfillment. What's more? Searching outer space is one of the most significant dream for human from hundreds years ago. However, the price of projects is expensive. There should have no excuse to give up the dream from last generation. 
              Therefore, from my point of view, I prefer to keep building telescopes and sponsoring astronomical projects for avoid potential catastrophe, build a good example for next generation and continue human-beings dream.

How I deal with a difficult situation


              In recent years, more and more students have opportunities to study aboard. At the same time, there is a common language problem among a lot of people. I also have this kind of issue in the first couple of months, there are some suggestions about how I deal with this difficult situation. Hope can help you a little bit.


              First of all, join school activities as much as you can. As a international student, the first and most important thing you need to figure out is learning language. We all know that language is a kind of subject that the more you practice, the better you will be. Walking in the campus, everyone can be your teacher. But how to make friends with them? Join school activities. Every school have a lot of activities groups in different catalogs for enrich students free time. By the time you go to the activity, prepare what you may talking about and how to leave people a good impression. Since you got friends, you can hang out with them or even text message in English. You will surprise yourself the speed your language enhanced.
      
              Second, use media resource. One thing do not forget is, you are in the US now! So go ahead to use all the media resource you can get. For example, Every morning after you wake up, turn on the radio so that you can listening some news while preparing food. During the time driving, listen a music channel such as "i heart radio", relax yourself and learn different entertainment culture. There are also many other ways to use free media resource. Watching basketball games on TV, movies or even carton. You will always find words which you do not understand. It's a good way to find links between study and entertainment.


              The last one is keep study yourself. Never think that you can learn language well only from activities and media. Take time review the knowledge you learned is also significant. What's more? Another resource people can use is library. Borrow book from your school library. Accumulate skills how people write essays in this country, write down new vocabularies and turn it to yours. Then practice using it with English-language people. Practice makes perfect.


              Therefore, join activities, use media resource and keep review and reading are how I deal with a difficult language situation. That's not all you can do, but if you have no idea about the problem, at least you can try it. Maybe on the process you trying, you can find your own way which are better than mine.

The article I like

              There's not too much information about American articles in my mind, the only one I feel familiar is Sara Shepard. I have been reading her book named <Pretty Little Secrets> for a week. This book is New York times bestselling series and the plot attract me a lot.
              The story is among four junior year girls---Hanna, Emily, Aria, and Spencer. And that Alison;s murderer is in jail and A is dead, they can finally relax. Little do they know there's a new A in town.....Get to know what they behavior, watch these liars day and night, keeping an eye on the trouble they get into, the messes they make, and the secrets they keep.
             First time I know this story is from the TV, after I came to the USA, I find this book and want to read it to learn English. During the time I reading, I felt this article is full of imagine and know how to attract people's heart. It is indeed an example of success article.

Advice to international students


                As we know, starting a new language, you have to have four skills which are listening, speaking, reading and writing. Among them, the most useful skills are listening and speaking because of they are the key to start communicating with people. And also, listening and speaking are most difficult for international students to study and practice. The language environment is a big problem.


                When I was in my country, studying English meant go to an English class, did grammar practice and wrote an essay to learn vocabulary. So there was a common problem, students could not open their mouths! Every time I tried to talk with foreigners, my brain turned blank and felt nervous. Even though I spoke something, I felt that the English speaking person could not understand what I meant. That really made me unconfident and spoke less and less. After discussed with my friends, I found out that I am not the only person who had that kind of experience. As a result, I decided to go aboard to study real English. What I need was an English environment and even breath "English style air" every day.


                For the first couple of weeks here, I felt quite nervous to talk with people. What's more? It's really hard for me to hear clearly people's regular speed of speaking! Being unconfident and shy by nature, made me always feel embarrassed. I turned to ask friends to helped me, for example, order food, buy books, talk with teachers and so on. But my teacher told me that I have to leave my friend to be independent. Slowly and slowly, I found that I do not need my friend to help me any more. I can order food myself, go shopping myself, communicate with people confidently and naturally. I am not sure from what time, I began to use English everyday and never feel uncomfortable. The advantage of learning English is obvious.


               I will never forget that how much people helped me on my way learning English. People in the US are friendly and easy-going. For instance, every time I meet people on the street, they always smile and say hello to me. Teachers are very patient to answer our questions even though it was a quite a stupid question from my eyes now. If I was lost, people would stop their work and take me to the place. All the things above make me feel that I am not a stranger here. Therefore, I really suggest international students come to study in the US. If you are a person like me----want to enhance yourself, challenge yourself, have dream, the US is the only place can make your dream come true!

         Hi, I am Serena, who is the only Chinese girl in 053B. I have been living in the USA for around 8 months. 
Comparing my hometown, the environment here is much more clean and the weather is warmer.The reason why I came here is for my further education, as my major before is Japanese language which is not a kind of strong skill to find a good job. One year after I graduated, I decided to come to the USA where the education system is best in the world. Recently, my goal is finish the ESL class by this semester so that I can start studying MBA from September. I am eager to step in my dream class. I know that the process of study is not easy, even though, I hope I can finish my study here,build myself more independent and get the key to success.
         All in all, thanks to take time reading my self-introduction which is full of mistakes. If you have any question or want to find links between you and me, just leave me a message here, I will write you back as soon as I saw it. Hope everyone have a nice day,keep warm!
