Write an academic paragraph. Try your best to give three reasons supporting the topic sentence. Don't forget to give examples and write a concluding sentence.Topic sentence: There are several reasons to eat fruits and vegetables.
There Are Several Reasons to Eat Fruits and Vegetable
There are three reasons to eat fruits and vegetable. First, you can take more vitamins than other food. As we know, fruits and vegetable have more vitamins than meat, rice, noddles. eat them are good for you health. Second, eat fruits and vegetable can keep weight. When you eat meat or rice, it make you strong, men like it but women not, because women want to have a slender figure.So they usually eat fruits and vegetable instead meat and rice. For example, in my country, most actress eat five apples one day instead food, they keep their figure slender. Third, keep skin good.Fruits and vegetable have much water inside, so when you eat them, you take water, the water can keep skin good, I think many girls do it.All in all, there are many reasons that eat fruits and vegetable, good for you health, keep figure and skin better. I think eat fruits and vegetable is good.

Journal Entry #10


Today, I was selected as a possible juror (someone who performs jury duty). However, the court decided that they already had enough jurors. Part of me wishes that I could have participated in the case to see what it is like in the courtroom. However, part of me is glad that I don't have to miss class (because of my wonderful students and also the money).In America, the legal system includes lawyers, judges, and jurors. How does the legal system work in your country? Who decides whether a person is innocent or guilty?
In my country, we have lawyers, judges, and jurors in the legal system.I think judges decides whether a person is innocent or guilty finally.So it is very impotant about the judge. If the judge is not good, it will happen mant bad things, our goverment is very careful to choose a judge. we are lucky because I think our legal system is good.But unfortunately, in my country we have Death Penalty, I do not think is a good way in law.We should delete it. Everyone have authority that can live. Although they do some bad things, they have their authority.

Journal Entry #9


What is a friend? Please write one paragraph using three main points/ideas.
Friends should have these three important things :honest, can help each other and share feeling.First, honest is the most important thing friends should have because friends believe each other,everyone need to be honest.Second, true friends can help each other.If my friend in trouble, I think I will do my best to help he,that is why we called friends.Third, friends share feeling. For example, a friend happy, he will let you know and share the happy thing.If he feel sad, he will tell you, and want to you give some suggests.Then he will feel comfort because you listen to him.I think these three things are the important things to be a friend.

直到世界的尽头




在这个城市里, 我一个人独自徘徊.
就好像空罐头, 被抛弃在大街旁.
从很久很久以前, 你我都互相了解.
如果真有爱, 就和我一起消失吧.
一直到这个世界的尽头, 我也不愿意和你分开.
无数个不眠的夜晚, 我一直这样的企盼.
为何你的身影如此弥漫,在我脑海婉转不散, 我却无法回忆, 曾今承诺永远在一起
让心再次地破碎, 在这悲惨的夜里.
用尽所有时间, 找寻无聊的答案.
不知道失去了, 最美好的一段回忆.
在这空旷街道上, 充满无尽的欲望.
满天的星星, 都是我对你的思念.
请你在这世界终结之前, 最后再告诉我一遍, 我和你曾今在一起, 你会永远记在心里.
为何在这世界终结之前, 还不相信真爱会永远.
我却依然坚信, 如果还存在一个明天, 一定是这个夜晚 在我梦里出现.
一直到这个世界的尽头, 我也不愿意和你分开.
无数个不眠的夜晚, 我一直这样的企盼.
为何你的身影如此弥漫.在我脑海婉转不散, 我却无法回忆, 曾今承诺永远在一起
让心再次地破碎, 在这悲惨的夜里. 在这悲惨的夜里.

随想

政治家并没有人们所想象的那样如此伟大,他们的职责就是将人民纳税的钱合理的有效分配,用于改善国家。之所以被人们想象成那样,不过是拜媒体所赐罢了。
有多少人知道这个道理。又有多少人为了这个目的去当领导人?纵观全球,各个国家贪污丑闻曾出不断,要知道,一个国家不可能自下而上腐败,只可能自上而下腐败!一个优秀的领导人会带领一个国家走向人类的顶点,反之,则可毁灭一个国家。
中国现在的体制是人类所有体制中最低级的,专制统治。如果能够碰到一位贤明的统治者,社会还会变好,但是一旦出现无能的君主,国家必会走向灭亡。一小群人各自挥舞著狭隘而愚蠢的大义名分旗帜互相杀害,远比遭受唯一绝对的神或唯一绝对的大义名分所压迫要来得好。如果将所有的颜色都聚集在一起,就只会化为单一的黑色,而无秩序的多样色彩总比单一的无色彩好。人类的社会沒有被单一的政体统合的必然性。

努力去改变,努力去实现。成为总统不是梦想,而是目标!
现在说这个没用,还是先写作业吧...

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.

Journal Entry #2.

Write about your favorite sport. Why do you like it?
My favorite sport is basketball.I like it for three reasons.
First, play basketball is very exciting. When I was young, I saw Michael Jeffrey Jordan played basketball, it is really exciting, he always get 2 scores before game end, and won the game.When I played it, I want win. If you meet a good opponent, it is very exciting, I like that feeling.
Second,play basketball is good for health. As we known, every sports is good for health, but for me, I think play basketball is better than other sports,because it include everything, when you play it, you improve force, speed and reaction.This sport is very good for health.
Third, basketball is a team game.When I play it, I can learn team work. A basketball team has five players, even a team has a superstar, if they do not know how to play together, they will lose.For example,now Los Angeles Lakers has Kobe Bryant, but it only has Kobe is not enough, Lakers has not team work, so they can not be the final winner. When I played basketball, I learned how I can help my team members, what they need and what I can do for them. This is an important skill for my job in the furture.
In conclusion, play basketball is exciting, good for your health and also you can learn a lot of experience during play it. Altought there are many sports are good, I still believe that play basketball is the best choice.
