Journal Entry #27

I am going to Las Vegas this weekend. If you were going to Las Vegas, where would you go and what would you do? Lastly, do you have any suggestions on how I can win a lot of money? Which games do you like to play?
I think if I can go to Las Vegas, I want to play eleven. I played it in China, it was easy and funny. Now I am just 19 years old, I can not play anything, I am not good at it. I think win a lot of money is different.I have no idea how to win money. When I played it in China, I just followed person who next to me or use my six sense, however, my luck always bad, so I always lose money. My friend said if you decide to buy this one, I will buy another one, so I can win. Any way, I will go Las Vegas when I 21 years old, it is a experience in life.

A Person Who Has Made a Difference
My father helped me in many ways. When I was young, my father let me know the most important thing in a human being’s life is that everyone needs a goal and a faith. He asked me what my goal is. I said I want to be Superman. Then he laughed and said I should think about my goal because it is important for me. He wanted me have a happy life and do my best. Then I know what my goal is. My father helped me to find my goal and he is a good father. Another thing he taught is to become independent. He let me think about everything and try to solve questions by myself. I knew it is very helpful in my life. Now he lets me study in a strange country that I have never been, different language and different culture. Everything he does is try to make me independent, be a really man. All in all, my father helps me to find a goal and become independent. These two things have made a difference in my life.

Topic: Being single has many advantages
There are three advantages that be single. The first one is spend money for yourself. If a man married, he makes money, and two people spend it. For example, when my father married to my mother, he was too busy because that money is not enough. The second one is go home whenever you want. When men go home late, women always call him and ask "where are you", but being single, man does not care about it. The last one is date different women for fun. Usually, a husband can not date a woman because is not good, however, if a single man, that is ok.

Journal Entry #15


Research Halloween online and write a paragraph summarizing the holiday. No plagiarism! I'm watching you!
Halloween holiday is coming, but for international students, they still do not know what is Halloween. Now let me talk about Halloween. "Halloween" is from Hallow E'en, it celebrated in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe first, they think it is end of summer, and a new year is coming. Halloween means protect themselves from dead people, because at that time, people thought people can rise from the dead, so they use fire and mask to protect themselves. In America, many immigrants bring their customs to here, so Halloween is different than before, now children go everywhere and knock doors, then they will ask the house owner, "Trick or treating?", and th houseowner will give them candies. I think it is a funny holiday, I want to join it.
