Having A Meal Outside In China For most people around the word, food is a necessity in our life, but for most Chinese, food is considered as the catalyst to improve relationship between friends, families or colleagues. Every time when I hang out with my friends, the app I frequently used is 大众点评, which provides a list of famous restaurants near the place I will go to. It's useful and convenient because users who had been to the restaurants would recommend food and give the average price of it and there are many pictures of dishes on it as well.

What I Hate The Most What I hate the most is waiting for the result of the exam like IELTS. It's been almost 1 month, which makes me almost freak out because it totally changed my original plan. All I can say is that British examiners in the IELSTS are too changing minded!!!

Good health is a basic human need With the widespread use of cars and computers in this era, physical fitness is becoming a serious concern for citizens. Some of them urgently appeal to the government to take measures to address the issue, while thers claim thath such sppeal violates their freedom of choosing their own lifestyles. Apparently, when providing us with convenience, many advanced technologies also produced adverse effects. For instance, compared to the past, the vast majority of people nowadays lead a sedentary life without adequate exercise, young white collars are suffering chronic diseases which usually exist in the senior citizens. It is imperative for the government to take measures to tackle the issue. On the other hand, if the authority encourages more people, especially the youngsters, to engage in sports and physical activities, the subsequent medical expenses will be saved, which allows the government to allocate a large portion of money to other aspects such as education, healthcare and etc. As a result, the practice is undoutedly beneficial to the national economy as a whole. However, the protection of people’s freedom of choosing whatever lifestyle they want should and will not be ignored. Actually, the recent efforts of building a democratic society in our nation deserved the credit. But freedom is not an excuse for one to be lazy. What’s more, the government doesn’t compel people to do vigorous exercise like what athelets do. What the government advocate is that every one put a premium on health issue and avoid suffering the consequences of eating too much junk food or doing too little physical exercise. In conclusion, freedom is not incompatible with sports or dieting. On the contrary, through doing useful exercise, one will release pressure and indirectly contribute to the economic growth. As the say goes, such practice is “to kill two bird with one stone”

Distance learning Distance learning via television or the Internet has been a popular way of learning in present-day society, allowing many students to achive lifelong learning. Despite a variety of conveniences the new way of learning brought, it also sparked a heated argument over its merits and dismerits. From my perspective, I am along with the view that the dismerits outweigh the merits. The reasons are manifold. First of all, lack of learning environment is one fo the toughest problem for distance learners. Unlike college equiped with spacious classrooms, quiet libraries or large grass fields, most distance learning locations are limited to a small place with only one computer plu a pair of microphones. It is apparently too simple and crude for a student to be fully engrossed in the academic atmosphere. As a result, what one learned form te Internet or TV are hard to leave a mark on his or her mind. Furthermore, due to isolation fo the location, many learners find it hard to lead a discipline life. In this way, the time of reviewing the content may often be squandered by meaningless entertainment. After all, playing games with friends are more appealing than remembering hard-to-understand contents alone. In addition, the connection problem that occurs from time to time is one of the main culprits that cannot stimulate students’interests. For instance, when a person vaguely hear what his teacher said, how is he capable of understanding it. Such situation is commonplace in some areas in particular, where the connection is awful. In conclusion, when it comes to distance learning, it might as well be used as a novel way of learning, and at the same time as a tool which effeciently complements textbooks and classrooms.

Can any people tell me the difference between plead the fifth and plead ignorance My American teacher told me they often used plead the fifth. So can any people tell me is there any difference between two phrases? Under what condition do we often use plead ignorance?

An Interesting Restaurant Yesterday I had a dinner with my friends in a tourism theme restuarant which is highly recommended by one of my favorite anchors. At first, I thought the cuisines in the western China may not cater to our tastes, but they turn out to be erotically tasty. When we told the restuarant owner that we came here because we read the online recommendation, he became more hospitable and served us personally. The settings, the food as well as the owner all left a deep impression on me.

My part-time job Recently, I am doing an interesting part-time job, which is about surveying glass shops secretly. This job is not as easy as it thought to be. I think it is a challenge of your quick response because all you said is for the success of the survey without being recognized. I find myself more confident and my conversation with strangers are more fluent by doing this job. That's really a rewarding work for me.
