Argument: human cloning(draft1)

Human Cloning

Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning, which is the reproduction of human cells and tissue. It does not refer to the natural conception and delivery of identical twins.
There are many benefits and disadvantages of human cloning and its technology. It includes the following potential benefits for human beings. The first benefits would practicably used as a replacement of your beloved family member who is about to pass away. With the human cloning technology, we can make a copy of our beloved ones and make them accompany with us for a longer time. The second benefit is that we can use the technology to create genetically identical to donor organs such as kidney, liver, heart and cornea in order to transplant. Because the organ was taken from the identical tissue that we created, therefore the possibility of repulsive effect of the organ will decrease in this case. The third benefit is that people who have contributed a lot to the world can be cloned. Such as Albert Einstein, if we can clone such an intelligent man, the welfare of the society may possibly be going to be beyond our imagination. What’s more, the world will be more peaceful and stable because of the cloning of the wise and kind-hearted leaders and presidents. It can reduce the violence among the politics. The forth benefit is that we can clone more and more labors to do the dangerous jobs such as mine or explore the oil field. Furthermore, we can clone an army with powerful soldiers if we have to deal with the military issue, none of our family would be harmed if this technology will be practiced in our life. For the development of the society and the pursuit of the technology, human cloning is become an important issue in this generation and in the future.
            Serious problems may occur in the world because of the cloning technology too. The human right is the priority. It is unethical to practice the human cloning for 3 reasons.
            First, the embryo that is cloned deserves a life. It’s human, its emotion, feelings and ambition of life should be taken into consideration. Once it is created, the right of it appears also, and we can’t imagine how they suffered if their lives are being taken away by us, the so-called “Creators”. They are an independent life; therefore, their rights should be respected in the same way as we are. In this way, the way that we created a human and take away his organ or body tissue for organ transplanting is exploiting their human rights undoubtedly. In other words, it is no different from murdering.
            Second, it is unethical and cruel to end their lives even after nurturing the embryos and raise them up to teenagers or adults. Furthermore, how do we explain the world they are doomed to live and shall we educate them or just treat them like the animals?
            Third, if the human cloning is ill and about to die, we will have to spend time and cost money to cure them and clone another human cloning to save their lives or abandoned them and to decide whether they will stay alive or not just like the flawed products which are dumped by the factories. In this case, we need to make the decisions but they are all have the problems that we should deal with. Trying to save their lives will cost a lot of resources and that is to say, we need to pay more expense. But if we give up to save them that would be another issue of human right that is controversial.
            Beside the controversial issue of the human right, the other disadvantage we need to be concerned of is that what if the process of human cloning is failed which means that the thing that we created does not turn out to be a human; instead, it may become something like Frankenstein. We cannot predict whether the gene will mutate or not because we are not one hundred percent sure that we are entirely familiar with the technology of human cloning. The unpredictable result is not the problem we can easily control.
            The last but not the least, we mentioned that human cloning can clone the great men who contribute significantly to this world but to the contrary, the bad and evil men will be cloned too such as Hitler. Besides, the cloning army may become the most harmful weapon because they are countless and the country without this technology will not be safe anymore. That is to say, some powerful countries controlling this technology will easily become the dictator in this world.
In our opinion, we know we have the ability to practice this technology, we are just not entirely sure if it is completely safe. Nor is public opinion on board with the prospect. Yet, we can’t say it won’t happen. But if human cloning ever does become legal, we can expect some wilderness.
            Who clones whom? Let’s say you clone yourself, should your clone, in turn, be allowed to clone him or herself. How could you possibly say no? And at what point do you think you can control him or her? Don’t they have their free will to make their own decision? The moment you chose to reproduce through human cloning, you will have to expect that it may not be the only genetic version of yourself. The law in the future may possibly allow your cloning to reproduce another version of him or her. Who will be the original one then? All in all, we disagree with the human cloning. Not only because the safety but also the issue of the human right.

Group essay 1

                   Third World Poverty

Around the world, in rich or poor nations, poverty has always been present. Almost half the world –over 3 billion people– live on less than $2.50 dollars a day. It is shocking to learn that 640 million people in the world live without adequate shelter. 400 million have no access to safe water. 270 million have no access to health services. Poverty is a big issue, affecting a large majority of the world’s people and nations. Why is this? Is it enough to blame poor people for their own predicament? Is it because they’ve been lazy, made bad decisions, and are solely responsible for their place in life? What about their governments? Have they pursued policies that are actually harmful to successful development? Such causes of poverty and inequality are no doubt real.

History is a big cause of the poverty in third world countries. Many of the poorest nations in the world were former colonies, slave-exporting areas and territories from which resources had been systematically extracted for the benefit of colonizing countries. For most of these former colonies, colonialism and its legacies have helped create the conditions that prevent many people from accessing land, capital, education, and other resources that allow people to support themselves adequately. Because of these barriers, poor nations are stuck with poor resources that do not help with the country’s development. 

Nowadays, globalization has become more and more present in our everyday lives. With the increasing interconnectedness promised by globalization, also comeglobal decisions, policies, and practices. These global decisions are usually influenced and driven by the rich and powerful, such as the leaders of rich countries or presidents of multinational corporations. In the face of such external influence, the government of poorer nations and their people are often powerless. As a result, a few get wealthy while the majority struggle. This causes the inequality gap between the rich and the poor to grow larger day after day. The increasing poverty of the third world countries has caused a wave of non-globalization voices and the anti-West hegemonyperspective. 

In poor nations, lack of education is a big issue that causes a vicious cycle of poverty. A large majority of said children do not have access to basic education because of inequalities that originate in sex and financial issues. These children find themselves on the margin of the education system, and do not benefit from learning that is vital to their intellectual and social development. Because of their lack of education, illiteracy among parents, unemployment, and illness multiplies the risk of non-schooling and the drop-out rate of kids throughout the country. Undeniably, many children from disadvantaged backgrounds are forced to abandon their education due to health problems related to malnutrition or to work to support the family. Said children are then made to work at child-labor factories that pay far less than minimum wage, or even worse, sold to child trafficking as sex slaves. This causes a vicious cycle amongst the country; unless a lucky someone finishes their education and successfully breaks the cycle. 

While living a life without woes, we often forget about the people in poorer nations who live off only $2.50 dollars a day. We take our water and food for granted, while many people don’t even have access to clean, drinkable water, let alone food to waste. When we are complaining about how boring the classes we take in school are, there are people out there can’t even recognize A to Z. Therefore, there are NPOs trying to improve the situation, and the UN is also focusing on this problem. Maybe we don’t have the ability to help them, but we can cherish what we have nowadays, and pray for the world to become better.  

Final exam: Compare and contrast

     Compare and Contrast

        It has been said, “Not everything you learnt is contained in books.” That is to say, we gain knowledge from everywhere. In this big world, there are lots of things to learn, we can either read from the books or learn it from our experience.

        While we are strolling in the library, we can find various books from history to astrology. The books contain the knowledge of tens of thousands of people. We can gain knowledge from the book. Math, Science, Psychology, we can find almost everything that we can think of from the books, even how to cook. By reading the books, we can learn what others have experience, because the things that are written in the books are the very thing which the writer wants to tell the readers. Therefore, we learn the knowledge that has been experience by others, we are learning from their experience. There are some of things that we can’t learn from life experience, such as calculus. This kind of hard subjects that needs to be calculated carefully is rarely used in our lives, but we still need to use it in some professional fields, such as science.

        However, we are the one who is going to practice the knowledge that we learn. We can also gain knowledge from our daily lives. Reading a book may not be so necessary. For example, a baby can neither read books nor understand what you tell him to do. But careful the things you do, children will see, and learn. As what we have learnt in the Confession by Augustine, he said that when he was an infant, he cries when he has the desire for something, he screamed for it. And when he finds out he can yell for his needs, he learned that he can tell people what he needs by getting their attention. There’s another example of learning from living experience. I’ve never seen my grandmother cooking with a recipe, but she can always make a table of delicious food. I wonder why she can do it, and she told me that, “The more times you cook the better they taste, and no recipe is needed.” If the dishes this time are too salty, she will remember the amount of salt that she has added and she will put less at the next time. This is what we call experience. What is written in the book may not be the best way for us. The taste of the author of the recipe may be different from us, so we need to try again and again to see what’s the best thing.

        In my opinion, both learning from the book and gaining the knowledge for life experience is important. Perhaps the best way is to combine our knowledge from books and life experience. We can make what we read from the books into practice to see if the knowledge fits us. It’s because that what we read from the books is the experience of others, it may not work on us as perfectly as the writer. Therefore, we can try to use the knowledge from what we read, and if it fails, we can fix it and make it the right way that is suitable for us. The most important is we learn therefore we live. It’s not a shame for us to have failure, what matters the most is that we get better each time we fail. We study more carefully from the book when we fail the test, and we make it right the next time; we are more cautious of our lives when we make mistakes while practicing some skills. Knowledge is everywhere, in the books and everywhere around us.

Compare and Contrast: Material and Non-material happiness

 In the bustling city, people are now getting busier. Living in a fast pace seems  to give people a large pressure. It becomes really hard for people to enjoy the life, the happiness is lessening. The modern lifestyle demands people to be active and communicative; more and more brands gently hint or directly tell the customers that  their products can make them happier. But in my opinion, happiness lies within ourselves, and the material goods can only bring us temporary satisfaction. People’s     opinions about whether the non-material happiness makes them satisfied or not varies from person to person. Therefore the discrepancies between these two types of happiness must be pointed out.

    Material goods, often seen as the most available avenues to happiness, are relatively easy to obtain; the only problem which may prevent people from taking an item into possession is the price of it. Considering that mass-culture endows material goods with abstract meanings, buying products are almost equivalent to obtaining those qualities, one’s personality, or other values which these goods symbolize. When we buy an expensive thing, we tend to feel good about ourselves. And when we got people’s attention with the product we bought, we are even happier. Material goods stimulate people to seek easy decisions. At the same time, the non-material sources of happiness like-friendships, sense of humor, and sense of beauty-don’t have a exact price compared to their simulations; Therefore, we cannot purchase a non-material happiness, but only experience them. This makes it difficult to obtain.

    Material goods are as easily lost as possessed：Losing its function, loss, being stolen, and other misfortunes easily affect the material welfare of an individual who connects their happiness only with items they have. At the same time, non-material sources of happiness can’t be lost so easily; It happens only when we lose our memories or go through some life obstacles to change in a bad way. For example, we bought a bracelet for the Mother’s Day’s gift. Mother may be surprised and happy at the moment when she received it, and she carries it every day and show it off to everyone she knows. Indeed, she is happy and the happiness can last as long as she possesses it. What if she loses it someday, when she’s not seeing it anymore, she will forget it. At the end, the happiness would fade away.

    Even though material items can make our lives easier to extent, connecting one’s happiness to possessions would be reckless. Material goods are easier to obtain; however; they are only simulations in comparison to the original concepts they imitate. Intangible benefits are more difficult to obtain, as one needs to learn them and develop them as habits; however, this fact facilitates their inalienability and constancy, compared to material goods which are easily-alienated. Therefore,  while possessing material goods and using the benefits they provide, people should strive for developing inner way of happiness.

Definition: What is a shopaholic?

Do you think about going shopping every day? Do you shop for yourself every day or week? Does the impulse of buying things always comes after you? If yes, then you are a shopaholic.

        There was a movie called “Confession of a shopaholic”. The girl I the movie is addicted too shopping. When she walks by the shopping mall, it seems that the model is talking to her, luring her to buy things. She started to imagine how the dress will look on her, and the dress is glowing in her sight. “you will look gorgeous in that dress, your friends will envy you.” The voice came from nowhere will sneak into her  brain persuading her to buy things. “Yes! I’ll definitely buy this dress! I’ll regret if I don’t!” she will say it to herself, and walk into the store and purchase it.

        A shopaholic usually has a lot of credit cards. They seem to be obliged to buying things. It’s the source of their happiness, and by possessing the item, they feel satisfied. Regardless of having enough money, shopaholic makes up different reasons in order to buy things, even the thing that they don’t need. Therefore credit card plays an important role in their lives. With a credit card, they can satisfy themselves first, and worry about the reality afterwards. “Limited Edition” is the bomb that makes the shopaholic explodes. They have a tendency to possess the thing which is limited. Holding a “limited edition” Prada bag makes them a star in the world of shopaholic. Not only woman can be a shopaholic, but also a man. Woman may be crazy about bags and clothes, or anything! Man, are usually obsessed about more expensive things such as cars, watches, and leather shoes. Shopaholics are proud of themselves having the ability to own the limited item, no matter how much it is, they convince themselves to buy it.

        We cannot judge if being a shopaholic is right or wrong, yet it’s definitely a crazy way to manage our money. It’s acceptable if we have the economic ability to satisfy the impulse of us to go shopping; if not, then this problem should be deal seriously. Consulting a psychologist may be a good way. A shopaholic increases the GDP of our country; a shopaholic has a happy life satisfied by material things; a shopaholic can send you a lot of gifts because they bought it before considering if they need it. They just want to buy things, and that makes them happy. Are you a happy shopaholic?

How to bake cookies

    Eating sweet snacks has always been the girls favorite, but if you really know the process of baking cookies. I'm not sure if the girls will dare to enjoy the cookies as they did before knowing it.

We all love the sweet taste of it. The mixture of butter and sugar are just perfect. As if some magic has happened, the wonderful combination made it difficult for our hands to stop putting these crispy thing into our mouth. 

     Things we need for this snack are simple but sinful. We need an egg, butter, sugar(the evil ingredients)and of course! Flour! I love to make cookie at home, because I can avoid the scary part of the secret process of baking cookies. It's very easy to make cookie. First, you need to melt the butter, so that it would be east for you to do the next step. You will realize how many butter you have taken in when you do this step. Just look down at your belly, girl. The  butter we prepared for 2 dozens of cookies are about 50g, it's about twice the size of your thumb. After the butter is melted, we mix the other ingredients together and make it into a dough. As you put all the ingredients together and stir them, you can see the golden yolk and the butter turning the white flour into a yellow shiny dough. And now you can smell the tasty scent of the cookie is now spreading out in the air.
     Here comes the most interesting part of baking cookies! Shaping them! You can make the dough into whatever shape you what to as long as you wash your hand. Putting the dough in my hand and squeeze it. It's so much fun! You can also use the cookie cutters that comes in different shapes to shape the cookies in cute styles. If you prefer the "original shape" of cookies, you can just take a small part of the dough and rub it in your palm to make the dough into a small ball, and then press it, it will then become a little circle in your hand.
     After showing your creativity, we put the unbaked cookies on to the baking tray, line them up evenly so that the heat will spread the same. Then all you need to do is to put the tray into the oven and heat up the oven to about 180 degrees Celsius and wait about 15~20 minutes. While the cookies are in the oven, you have to take care of them also. Like a mother, you have to peek in the oven see if they are growing up, and  turning their colors from golden yellow into brown. Watching the cookies change and smelling the aroma of them makes will make you feel warm, peaceful and happy. I guess this is why I enjoy baking cookies by myself. You can control the sugar you want to add if you don't want to get too much calories, this is the best way of enjoying sinful snacks.
     Ding! The pleasant sound of the oven is telling us to take out the cookies. The moment you open the oven, the heat and the smell of the cookies run out into the air, filling the whole house with the sweet aroma. This would definitely be the best moment! Just wait for the cookies to cool down, then you can enjoy your efforts, in a healthier and fulfilling way!     

Different kinds of Girlfriends you may have

Since now we are college students, there seems to be a common sense that we should
get a boyfriend and girlfriend in college. It would be kind of embarrass to tell your friends that you stay single after 4 years of college life. As a girl, I see different kind of my girl friends becoming others' girlfriend. There is a variety of girlfriends that I see they are to their boyfriends. It's very interesting to see my friends acting so different to be a girlfriend.
     There are girls that are the so-called the Jealous girlfriend. This kind of girl has potential fear that her boyfriend will betray her. She is lack of trust to her boyfriend; therefore she will text her boyfriend all the time, no matter where she is, and what she's doing. She will question everything and be stroppy to the boyfriend's answer. She will have a pissed-off look on her face when the boyfriend is talking to genuine female friends, generally people he knows a lot longer than the jealous one. And the girlfriend will start arguing with the boyfriend when they are alone. Frequent quizzing of the boyfriend is also to be noted. For instance: why didn't you text me back right away when you read my message already on Line?
     Instead of the Jealous girlfriend. There is a kind of girlfriend that is Selfless Girlfriend. This kind of girls are givers. All that they care is you, and the relationship. They may even change their interest and apparel because of you. One of my friend, you can say that either she's stupid or she's so in love with the boy. The selfless girl never wore sneakers before she met her boyfriend. But after she fell in love with the boy who loves to collect different kinds of sneakers. She totally changed her style. She started to spend her money on sneakers, and become a different girl, in order to match her boyfriend. I found it very amazing to see her change. But I just couldn't believe that falling in love can change a girl so much.
    There is one more kind of girl that I feel I would fall in love with if I'm a boy. It is the kind of girlfriend that is like your good buddy. This kind of girl knows all of your lads, and you can sit down and watch a basketball game together. No need to worry about she being angry that you don't spend time with her. Nothing need to be hidden in front out this type of girlfriend, and you can always see the real side of her. They laugh so real, they curse so true. You will probably feel the most comfortable when you are with them. They are like your best friend, and the most intimate one.
    There's of course more types of girlfriends, but as a girl. These are types of girlfriends that I think are the most specific ones. No matter what kind of girlfriend you have, just be patient, and love them. I'm sure that girls will understand how much you love them, and they will definitely treat you in the same way, or their "special" way to show their love.

Free writing: At the first sight

     "Alright! Alright! I'll be there in 10 minutes!" Jason was on his phone, and his friends Messi was calling him to go to the cafe for some emergency "man talk" about  Messi's wife. There was a big crying coming from the baby's room. "No ! Way! I forgot Gabriel!" Jason's wife was not at home today, and he has to take care of their baby Gabriel. "Woof! Woof!'' It is Cliff their dog barking and hurried into the room. Cliff is a very loyal dog, he is so big that he looks like a wolf. And he loves the baby so much that he doesn't allow any stranger go near Gabriel when he's with the her. Jason went into the room and saw Cliff playing with Gabriel, and the crying baby was soothed. An idea has came up to his mind, "Cliff!" he clapped his hands, gesturing Cliff to come over. Cliff came over wagging his tail, he seems to be proud of himself comforting Gabriel. "Cliff! Daddy needs to go out for a while"" Woof!" Jason patted on Cliff's head and continues" Just take care of Gabriel for an hour okay? I trust you buddy!" "Woof!!" Cliff assured him with a loud bark. "Gabriel, please be a good girl. Daddy will be back very soon!" And Jason went out and went to his friend.
     An hour later, Jason was back. "Hey Cliff! I'm back!" There was not a single sound. "Cliff? Cliff?"
he started to get nervous. Jason ran upstairs to Gabriel's room, it was empty. "Cliff? Cliff?" Jason then ran to the yard, and he saw a terrible scene. Cliff was at the yard where Jason and his wife spared for his large body to play around. Cliff's was full of blood, sitting still on the ground and staring at Jason with a innocent sight. "What the hell?" Jason was full with anger, he thought of the worst thing. "Where is Gabriel?" He yelled at Cliff. Cliff tried to approach to Jason's leg. "Get away from me you damn creature!" Jason kicked away Cliff furiously, and he the anger rose up to his head. He couldn't think of how to tell his wife, and how terrible it is to lose Gabriel. Cliff tried again to bite the bottom of Jason's trousers. "What do you think you are doing? Begging for my forgiveness?" Jason gave a big slap on Cliff's mouth, and Cliff whimpered.
     Walking straightly to the house, Jason took a big stick and he decided to punish Cliff for his foul deed. "Hey Cliff!" Cliff ran to Jason at the moment he heard Jason called his name. But the treat he got wasn't a pat on the head but a hard hit by the stick. "Now you know how painful I am right now?" Jason hit on Cliff again, but Cliff didn't run away. Instead, he walked toward Jason, and tried to bite his trousers again. That action pissed Jason off, he worried about himself getting into trouble, he was desperate of losing Gabriel. The most important is that he didn't know how to tell his wife about this. He was blinded by the anger, he hit Cliff hard at the once again, Cliff did nothing, and that hit was so hard that he could hardly stand. Jason hit him once again, there was  blood coming out from the wound of Cliff. He whimpered and trying to run away. But Jason was in insanity, he couldn't stop it. He chased Cliff around the yard, and Cliff was not going to fight back. Cliff was out of breath and he could only lie on the ground and suffered from Jason. "What are you doing? Stop it right now!". A neighbor of Jason shouted at him with panic. He grabbed Jason's hand and tried to stop Jason from beating Cliff. "You have no idea what happened to you? Stop it right now! Please!" the neighbor kneeled down and checked Cliff's wound, his body was full of injuries. Cliff seemed to stop breathing. "He's eaten Gabriel! He ate my girl! What do u think I'm doing?" Jason pushed away his neighbor angrily. "No! He didn't!" the neighbor yelled. All of a sudden, it was a big tsunami hit in the brain. Jason was sober and stunned by the word his neighbor just said. "Wha....what did you..you just said?" Jason's hands were shivering, and he looked at Cliff with tears. The neighbor grabbed Jason's arm and ran toward his house. "When you were out, there was a thief tried to break into your house and Cliff barked so loud and  I heard that. Cliff was a good boy, he bit the thief and I took Gabriel to my house in case that the thief got mad and hurt her." They ran into the  neighbor's house and Jason saw Gabriel laying safely on the couch. "Thank God!" Jason broke in to tears and embraced Gabriel.
Suddenly, he thought of Cliff, his innocent boy Cliff. It was his mistake to misunderstand and suspect Cliff was the one that hurt Gabriel. He put down Gabriel carefully, and ran back to his yard to check if Cliff is okay.
     There was nothing in the yard except the stick that Jason used to hit Cliff. "Cliff! Where are you? Daddy was wrong! Please forgive me! Let me take you to the vet!" Jason clapped his hands and kept shouting Cliff's name. But no matter how loud he yelled and how hard he clapped, Cliff was still missing.  It was getting dark, Jason could hardly see through the woods that he didn't went to search for Cliff. He decided to do it on the next day. So he brought Gabriel home and tramped back and forth thinking about how to tell his wife all that happened today.
     "Jason! Jason! We found him!" someone was knocking at the door,telling Jason this news. Jason ran downstairs and opened the door as soon as he heard the news.He couldn't sleep last night because his mind was full of Cliff, he was regretful. "Where is he？” Jason asked his neighbor worriedly. The neighbor sighed, and told him that they found Cliff in the woods in the early morning today. Jason burst into tears and he couldn't believe what he has heard. "No! No! Please! Tell me that you are lying!" he shook his head. “ You hit him too hard yesterday, and the vet said that it must because of too much coming from the wound." the neighbor said with sympathy and he continued, " Have you ever heard that when dogs know that they are dying, they will seek for a place to hide, so let their master won't feel sad for them and his master will only remember the happy times with them. How considering!" the neighbor lamented. Jason couldn't say anything, he tried to remember the time that he and Cliff played in the park, they met his wife, he took good care of the house. "The police said that the blood in  Cliff's mouth was the thief's, they will get him very soon." the neighbor and Jason was standing at the place where Cliff laid on the ground. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry！Cliff, please forgive me! I should have trusted you, I should have go with you. I should....." Jason broke out in tears, he sat beside Cliff's body. "Buddy, thank you so much, Daddy is so sorry, and Gabriel...I will protect Gabriel in the future. That's also what you would like to do right buddy? Be a happy angel in the heaven, my brave boy......"

Final: the best place

                                                                       My favorite Place

        The best view I have in my memory is the NanLiao seashore in Hsinchu, my hometown. The sunset, the coastline, the warm breeze, I recall them whenever I miss my home.

        “Ring ring.”, people riding bicycle along the seashore. As I rode the bicycle, I could feel the warm and tender touch of the breeze. When I closed my eyes, I could hear the soft whispering of the wind through my ears. The calmness made me forget about what I was doing, it made me forget about the exhausted feeling of riding the bike. The goal of my ride through the coastline is always the seashore at the end of the road of the bike road.    

        When I sit along the seashore, I feel calm and peaceful. It’s like the wave is washing away all the bad thoughts in my mind. Staring at the shimmering ocean, I see the cosmic world. The ocean glitters under the sunshine as if someone has thrown the diamonds into the sea. It was crystal blue, it is the vastness of the ocean that makes me so comforted. Birds flew over the sky, I wonder where they are heading. I hope my dreams were carried by them, to the unknown future, held the dream high but successful.  The ebbing of the waves seems to take away all the worries, and the sunshine will give you the new strength to live again, I always feel like I am transforming under the sunshine. There are laughter of children together with the whisper of the wind. It reminds me of childhood, in innocent time. Where there are no worries at all. It is the peaceful moment I love.

     The best view of Nanliao is the sunset. The sun hanging on the sky was like a orange yolk of the egg. In a strong status, feels like it is the most dominant thing in the sky. But it shines so gently that you want to approach it, the calmness that it gives me. It makes me think of the peachy face of the baby. At the evening, it seems like some naughty angels in the sky has put the needle on the sun. The orange color sprayed all over the sky and dyed the clouds into an orange carpet. So magical, I never get tired of watching it. The angel finished its trick and picked up the diamond that they dropped in the ocean, they hung it on the sky, the moon, the twinkling stars, and the cool breeze. Along the seashore, there are couples walking, chatting, so lovely. They are the good view, my wish of the future. Things are so differently than they were in the day time. But the calmness of the seashore never changes.The sea is clam to night, the tide is fair, the star is shining so bright. I love the clear mind that the ocean gives me, and the new life the seashore gives me. I love the whispering of the wind, the naughty angels in the sky. The best place where I think it is a sweet wasting of time.

The most dilemmatic moment I have faced (ver.2)

     I have always been an absent-minded person. Whenever people warn me about something that i need to be careful of, I always ignore it. The tragedy came one time, and i could never forget it, the most dilemmatic  moment i have faced.
     That day, i carried my cellphone to the toilet as usual, it's a new one, and I bring it everywhere I go.
My mom always warns me of not putting the cellphone in the pocket, it might fall out; however i never listen to her. I went into the toilet, do the "initial steps" in the bathroom. Just about the moment i was going to squat down. And i was thinking in my mind: "oh! My cellphone is in my pocket!" , the tragedy happened. I heard the sound of splash beneath me. I wasn't that panic at the moment because i dropped the money in the toilet for a couple times, it was no big deal to me. But when i looked down, and felt the pocket lightened, I knew I'm in trouble. I started screaming. Oh my god! It's my cellphone sinking! It's new! It's not waterproof! I need to save it! Here comes the dilemma, the water was kind of dirty, although i haven't done the "toilet action". What if the person went into this toilet was doing the "big deal", what if she had a diarrhea? God, I can't stop imagining how dirty is the toilet. But that is my cellphone inside. The more time i spend in thinking about picking it up or not, the fewer chances will it  be still usable.
     I've made up my mind, i closed my eyes, and put my hand into the cold water. My hands were shaking, trying to reach my cellphone. I can feel the cool and wet touching of the water, that feeling went through my finger tip to my wrist. How can the toilet be so deep? As i reached my cellphone, i tried to stress my fingers to grab it, but it slipped. Almost all of the swear words came into my mind, I condemned myself of doing this stupid thing. I tried again, holding it tight in my hand.
     The screen was black, i think it has shut down because of the water. I walked to the faucet, wondering if i should wash my hand, and also wash my cellphone. It's will be wet again! But it's dirty! "Nah!Screw it! It's wet already and it will work if it's not broken, I'm going to wash it anyway!" That is what i was thinking. So i washed it and i washed my hands, totally forgot the main purpose that caused this tragedy. I guess my urine has evaporated when the cellphone dropped.
 I went out of the bathroom, and saw my friends playing with their cellphone, and told me "Hey! I heard someone screaming in the toilet, did you hear that?" "Um, yes...?" I showed them my cellphone after taking a nice shower, and they all started laughing at me, asking if I'm going to call my mom with it. What a beautiful day with my awesome friends!
     My cellphone, of course, is destined to be a sleeping beauty for the rest of it's life. And I will never ever bring a cellphone with me into the bathroom again, since this experience is so remarkable. And I would never say that I've made the right decision in the dilemma, none of them are good!

description ver2 : If i can video down every moment

Meiti Riverside Park is probably the most beautiful place I went near Soochow University. It's near the Miramar mall. We went there in almost  the evening. We were sitting on the soft green grass, staring at the tranquil river. My friend and I were having a casual chat. Neither of us was looking at each other. As we talk, I can smell the refreshing fragrance of the grass carried by the gentle breeze, not a strong wind. The warm breeze was like the soft fondle of the mother earth.The feeling went through my hair;I enjoy the touch and I enjoyed the smell.

  "Ring ring!" the sound of the bicycle passed by. Little kids with their helmet, moving their legs in a very fast speed (as they thought they were) I could hear the crackle of the wheels rotating on the road. They want to catch up with the adults in front of them. “Too eager for growing up" I thought in my mind." "Hey! Wait! Ride slowly!" The worried parents behind the kids were shouting at them. Maybe that's exactly how parents are, they are always watching at the rear of the children, not expecting them to turn back because they have their dream to pursue. You just have to let them go. "Ring ring!" This time is the special bike that was designed for two people to ride together. There was an old couple riding the bike. They don't have much expression on their faces, but I admired their peaceful atmosphere. Seeing lots of young couple breaking up, I wonder how they maintain their sweet taste of life for such a long time.

  Staring at the beautiful river, it was amazingly attractive. The golden orange sunshine reflected on the surface of the river, it shimmered beneath the sunset. It's not yet the time that the night falls, but who has thrown the stars into the water? I supposed that some magical power hangs those stars on the sky after the sun goes down. The sunset! The sun! Oh the most remarkable one in the Meiti riverside park. At first it was like a fresh egg yolk, so orange, so plump. After a while, as if the mischief night angel has put a needle on it. The orange blasted out with a mixture of rose-pink, and dyed the whole sky. The round circle we saw earlier ago was vanishing. Suddenly, a splash of the water distracted me from the beautiful sunset. It was a fish jumping out of the water I guess. So energetic it was, acting in a way to inform the night to come and call for the magic power to hang up the twinkling stars in the water to the sky.

  The beautiful place, Meiti, I wonder what it is like in the other times of the day. I'm willing to spend my day, staring at the wonderful scene. It would be a worthwhile waste.

Exemplification: Animal testing should be reduced

      In nowadays, we human are intelligent enough to change the world. We are confident that we are the most powerful animal on the earth and we can take control of every living thing. And for our own good, our health problems, and the products using on us. We started to use the animals that are not being able to defense human as experimental animals. Animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products.Many of these experiments cause pain to the animals involved or reduce their quality of life in other ways. It should be reduced in some way.


     One reason is that animals suffered a lot from the experiments. Many animals are used as the experimental animals such as rabbits, and mice. Before the medicine is released to the market, the lab will try the medicine on the rabbit, by dripping the medicine into the rabbit's eyes and see the reactions. For our safety of using the medicine and the pharmacy industry to earn money, we didn't even care about how the animals suffered. What really matters to the company is that if the medicine is okay to be used on human, and they only want to see the results of the testing on the animals are positive or not. It is not moral of us to do that.

     There is also a reason that the action should be stopped is that the benefits to human beings are not proven. Human beings are unlike other animals that we take test on. If we say that we are at a different level than the other animals, then why do we think that it's appropriate to apply the products that only took experiment on animals that are different from us? Maybe there are no side effects on the animal, but we can not assure that there's no side effect on human being because the experiment hasn't been taken on human. Therefore the benefit to human are not proven.


     Not all scientists are convinced that the tests on animals are useful and valid. Animal has not been as critical to the advancement of medicine as is typically claimed by proponents of animals experiments. Moreover a great deal of animal experiments have been misleading and resulted in either withholding off drugs, sometimes for years that were subsequently found to be highly beneficial to human. Although the effects are harmless to animals but it caused human suffering and death. Therefore we can see that it remains a big concern of whether the testing is necessary.

For the love of the earth, for our morality and conscience. We should think of another way to replace testing on animals. So smart as we are, we will definitely figure out a better way for both of the sides to make the world better.
