ISSUE: Creativity

Today a professor talked about the creativity in class.

He argued that parents need to encourage children’s creativity at home. They can involve children in family decision-making. Secondly, parents can help children to understand the consequences of various decisions.Thirdly, parents can encourage them to talk out loud about things they are doing and the reason for doing so. The children can see creativity in its purest form.

Fourthly, parents can give children choices from an early age. When they are very young, let them choose between two food items for breakfast. When they grow older, parents should let them decide how to use their time or spend their money.

Friends and Foods in Travel

I want to travel in the winter vacation.

When I travel on holidays, I go not only to see new sights but also to perhaps meet new people. Of course, I don’t really expect a vacation trip to produce a close friend. But surely the beginning of a friendship is possible.

Meanwhile, almost all the tourist places have their special local food. Whenever I visit a new place I have a good appetite for all kinds of special local snacks. And actually I enjoyed the atmosphere and the good feeling about tasting local food during my stay.

I consider whether I will choose a part-time job next semester

Today I consider whether I will choose a part-time job next semester.

The distinct benefit of working my way through college is that it provides an opportunity to be a fully independent adult with real records; it also teaches perseverance. Most importantly, I will become richer to buy more my favorite things. However, there is a drawback to this way of finishing college; I will get little time and energy left for study after a long day’s work.

It is very hard for me to choose!

about a report that the chairman of Central Bank will let New Taiwan Dollar devalue

Today I read a report that the chairman of Central Bank will let New Taiwan Dollar devalue.

I think when the N.T. dollar devalues relative to other currencies, the exports of the other countries become more expensive to buy in Taiwan and Taiwan exports become cheaper in other countries. But the devaluation of N.T. Dollar will impact foreign investors’ intention to hold Taiwanese companies’ stocks. These stocks are valued as the N.T. Dollar. On the other hand, growing pressures from foreign countries force the government to bend the rules in favor of importers. Rapid devaluation policy may stir up foreign importers and their governments angry.

Therefore, the policy of devaluation is a double-edges sword.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!
In many countries of the world, the celebration of Christmas on December 25th is a high point of the year. But why? Can it have any real meaning for us today? Is there a 'real' Christmas message?

From November onwards, it is impossible to forget that Christmas is coming. Coloured lights decorate many town centres and shops, along with shiny decorations, and artificial snow painted on shop windows.

I love this day!

ISSUE:About the biggest change in eating habits and food-related life styles

Today I ate dinner with my friends in a MacDonald fast food store in Hsing-Chu City.

The biggest change in eating habits and food-related lifestyles must be the arrival of fast food in Taiwan. This allows many people to eat conveniently away from home, or bring food home to eat without having to prepare it themselves. But it also makes family-style meals less likely. In fact, the fast food tasted good for many young people, including me.

However, the fast food is too much fat or energy. The fiber of fast food is too little. I think that the fast food—hamburgers, fried chicken, and potato chips—are not always very nutritious.

Today I saw my roommate having a new lipstick.

I think women care about their appearance than men do. They want to be considered attractive. Many girls spend a great deal of money every month to improve their looks by dyeing their hair, going to the barber’s and beauty salons. Meanwhile, they spend lot money to buy cosmetics. Diets are another popular habit. It is almost inevitable.

ISSUE:About Bicycle Road

Today I went to Taipei City. I saw several bicycle roads are constructing.

A new law limiting all but short-term automobile parking in Taipei’s downtown area has spawned a renaissance of the bicycle. Currently, a good bicycle is very expensive. Riding bicycle to work become a popular and modern activities.

However, I argue that riding bicycle in a big city has a lot of disadvantages. Firstly, there are many cars and motorcycles that will pose threat on the way. The bicycle roads are too few to riders. Secondly, the bicycle is easily stolen. Thirdly, bicycle can not accommodate goods or another passenger.

Therefore, I hope government can pay attention to solve the parking problems in Taipei’s downtown.
