Life today is easier and more comfortable than it was when your grandparents were children.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
In contemporary society, people usually have better economic environment, convenient transportation, well-development technology system, it's more easy and enjoyable to have a comfortable life. Therefore, I agree with the fact that modern people are more comfortable than people who lived in my grandparents' childhood.
First of all, people become rich because of economic development . For example, in my countries, Taiwan, when my grandparents were young, people were very poor, and they didn't have any fantastic toy. They couldn't have higher educational background, because they needed to help their family to earn money, they need to go to work after graduating form elementary school. In modern society, children can buy the toys which they want, and all of us can go to senior high school, even college and university.
In second period, public transportation is convenient today. When my grandparents were young, they don't have well-development transportation system. For instance, if they needed to go other cities, they usually had to walk for several days. They had never went abroad, because airplane was fewer and expensive, and ordinary people couldn't afford it. However, life is more convenient now, when we go to south Taiwan from North Taiwan, it only need to spend two hours by metro system. And people can travel to other country easily.
Last but not least, the development of technology make people have convenient life. For example, We have mobile phones, washing machines, and weeping robots. People can contact their friends and families easily and spend less time to do housework. This was impossible for my parents when they were young. They needed to write letter if they need to contact someone, and they needed to do a lot of housework by themselves. Of course we have a more comfortable life.
In conclusion, contrary to the period when my grandparents were young, modern people are more comfortable. We have more money to buy desirable things, and we can enjoy convenient transportation system and technology. However, my grandparents cherished their own life, even if they were poor at that time. I think modern people need to learn this spirit, and treasure everything we have, because we own so many wonderful things.

People today spend too much time on personal enjoyment-doing things. Do you agree?
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People today spend too much time on personal enjoyment-doing things they like to do-rather than doing things they should do.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
In contemporary society, I don't agree with the idea that modern people spend too much time on their personal enjoyable things than on things which they really need to do. I think this depends on different cultures. People should find what we want, and try to keep balance with their life, and combine their desirable things with what they have to do.
First of all, different cultures and countries have different situations. For example,
In my country, Taiwan, we are always forced to do everything that we don't like to do. We need to go to college, and after graduating from college, we need to find an excellent job, earn more money, and get married. It's just like a life pattern, and everyone is pushed by the parents and the society. Fewer people would think deeply about what they really want and like to do.
In the second place, people should find the balance between things which we are desirable and things which we should do. However, we need to understand what we need in advance, and don't just push ourselves to do things which we should do.
For example, people are force to work overtime in northeast Asia, It's normal for everyone to do this. Fewer people doubt this situation. In this circumstance, people should find the balance between life and work, but not take working overtime for granted.
Last but not least, life is short, and we don't need to limit ourselves. Finding desirable things and combining with our job and life are really important. Some famous and successful people do personal enjoyment-doing things, and they get success life. For instance, Hugo was a famous French writer, but his family didn't want him to be a writer at first. He insisted to do thing what he really like to do, and become a well-known writer.
In conclusion, I don't agree with the idea that people spend too much time to do enjoyable things they like. I believe people should do things they really like to do, and try to combine with their life and job. Therefore, people will do things with motivation and finish them well.

When people movfollow the customs of the new country or keep their own customs.
Topic: When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the new country. Others prefer to keep their own customs. Compare these two choices. Which one do you prefer? Support your answer with specific details.
We live in a global village. There are more and more connections between countries to countries. This makes people move to another country easily, and those people need to face the new customs in the new country. In my opinion, I prefer to follow the customs of the new country, because that makes us have better connection with local people, and can involve local lives and really accept the new home.
First, it’s easier to connect with local people if we follow the new customs. For instance, different cultures sometimes bring misleading. Other people who don’t understand the original customs of the new inhabits will think that their behaviors are wired. This will let the new inhabits connect hardly with local people. Following the new customs will decrease the misleading and let people understand each other easily.
Second, following the local customs could let us involve local lives. For example, there must be a lot of activities of local holidays. If we follow the new customs, we can join the local activities, and have the same subjects with our neighbors. If we can enjoy the local activities and lives, we will be used to accommodating our new life.
Third, most important of all, we need to adapt the new customs and treat the new place as a new home. In my countries, an old saying goes,” the country was the last station where our ancestor wondered. Moving to other country might be intentional or occasional, but people should move on no matter what happened previously. If we still follow the old customs, we will always think before, but forget to search for the future. We need to be used to accepting the new customs and our new life.
Blending with local people is very important for the immigrants. If the immigrants adjust to the new surroundings well, it will prevent some social security problems from the new comer. I definitely think that following the new customs will be a better choice when people move to a new country.

the most important room in a house
What do you consider to be the most important room in a house? Why is this room more important to you than any other room? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
I consider the most significant room in a house is the living room. The living room is a space where we can spend our leisure time, watch TV and receive the information from the whole world, and get together with our families.
Firstly, we can spend our leisure time in the living room. In my country, living room usually is the first space we can see when we entering our home. We always decorate the room warmly and comfortably. In my leisure time, I like read newspapers and novels in my living room. It definitely is my favorite place in my house. After whole day work, lying on a sofa and eating some snakes in the living room can make me feel relaxed. Living room is the lovely place in my house, I like it more than any place in my house.
Secondly, we can watch TV in the living rooms, and we can know a lot of important things which happened in the world. In my country, there always are televisions in our living rooms, so living rooms are the place we can contact with the whole world. When I in my childhood, my parents often companied me to watch news in the living room, and taught me the differences in every country, and then remained me how to take care myself. The living room in my house of childhood is filled with unforgettable memories. After I growing up, I have my own house, and I am still used to watching news in my living room every morning. Knowing what happened in the world everyday will make me more confident to discuss everything with people. For me, living room is the place where we can touch with the world, even we don’t go out from the house.
Finally, and most importantly, living room is the place where we can get together with our family. In my countries, the living rooms are usually the biggest rooms in the houses, and they can accommodate the whole members in our families. I like to make some hot tea and chat with my family in the living room. Even though internet and what’s app of mobile phone make us talk and contact easily, I still believe that is more meaningful to talk with family face to face. I like the living room and think it is the most important room in my house, and it’s the irreplaceable place in my home and my life.

It is better to grow up with siblings than without. Do you agree or disagree?
In my opinion, I believe it is better to grow up with siblings than without. I have a younger brother, who is one years younger than me. With siblings, we will have great company, and can have a positive stimulating to the developing of brain. By the way, siblings can share responsibility with each other.
First of all, siblings are best company in growing stage. Because I have a brother, I always share my happiness and sadness with him. When I shared my experience with my brother when I was young, I would know that I was not alone and felt the real connection with the world. If any bad or uncomfortable things happened in my school, I would let him know. My brother would discuss with me and give me some suggestions to let me get through the difficulties. We always accompany with each other. I cannot image growing up without him.
Second, with siblings will bring the great stimulating of brain. Scientist believe we need to stimulate children’s brain, and it will help them develop their intelligence. Parents can talk and play with their child absolutely, but they have their jobs and housework need to do. If a child have siblings, they can paly, talk, and learn with each other, it will bring the best reaction and stimulate children’s brain daily.
Finally, siblings can share responsibilities with each other. Since I was young, I share housework with my brother. After growing up, we share and discuss everything in my family. For example, we always take turns to go home to accompany with our parents. If we need to finish somethings in my family , we will do it cooperation. When we need to do some serious decision about my family, we can discuss in advance. An old saying goes well, “ Two heads are better than one”. If we have siblings, it will be easier to make decision correctly.
I have a brother that I grow up with happiness . How lucky I am! I totally agree it is better to grow up with siblings than without.
