Passed out in office.... I passed out in my office this morning. As I said before, it is a open-plan office. Everyone saw me falling down and moaning like dying. Actually before it happened, I felt that I need to take a break. I felt awful and I didn't know what I should do. I stood up and stumbled to a colleague's desk. I told him "I feel sick, can you help me?" and passed out. Obviously he helped me because I didn't knock on desk or chair. I could not control my body at all, but I still could hear people talking. Two people held my arms and took me downstairs. After I was put on sofa, I realized more than 10 people were around me. I was sweating crazily and hoping I was not showing my underwear. Luckily, when they drived me to hospital, I already felt better. Moreover, doctor found nothing wrong. Now, I just finish a bowl of salad, noodle, an icecream and three pieces of chocolate cake. Lying in bed and feeling great. So I will end this article with "25 is a dangerous age".

Do you prefer an open-plan office or an ordinary office? I work in an IC design company. Here all departments work in an open-plan office. When I first came here, I was told that we would function as a big team in this office. However, soon I found it really noisy. When I tried to read program code, I was distracted by Fincial Department because they were arguing about some reimbursement issue. Today I even heard HR clerks chatting about shoes at work time. I confess I am not fully concwntrative either, but I yhink I did not make much noise to disturb others. Well, there is bright size. I can get access to colleagues easily and it is a welcoming and equal environment. Which do you prefer? I might miss the regular smaller kind. PS: it's my work time now. Haha.

Something funny A few minutes ago, I came back after running a block. When I turned on the light, I saw two huge cockroaches on the floor. Well, I have seen some small bugs when I moved in. Honestly, I do not really mind them living here because I am the new one. I think they will not pose a threat to me. But these two huge ones made me feel like I am living in a dirty hole. Either they die, or I die! So I killed them. And hoping they were the only ones. OMG. I am really scared now.....

25 is a dangerous age When I was a kid, I often dreamed about what my life would be at my 20s. I thought I would be married, have a child and own a big company. Now I am 25 years old, it is fair to say that none of thouse dreams comes true. But I am not disappointed at all. I have not find the one who can help me understand marrige and I have already found my interest in research not in business. The only issue I am worried about is my health. Last night I went to have dinner with some friends and heard that one of our common friends just had a surgery to remove part of her thyroid. I got scared because last month at my physical examination, a doctor told me that there was something wrong with my thyroid. I really did not think that I would be worried about my physical health at such a young age. But this warning is not ignorable, not like those ones I meet while programming. Anyway, 25 is a dangerous age. I am growing old, not growing up any more. I should keep that in mind. Time to go out for jogging!

First week at work Hello there. I haven't written anything here for a while. Honestly most stuff I wrote before was about my IELTS test. Now I want to write something personal. This is the first week of my first job. Although I coorperated with some companies when I was doing projects at university, this is totally diferent. It is really difficult to meet someone when you have a full-time job. You stick at the office desk 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. When you look around, colleagues are having a ring on the finger or having a kid's picture on the desk. I finally understand the significance of blind date. Please do not let me do that. Other things are going really well though. Nice working environment, friendly colleagues, decent welfare my own phone line. I guess this is it, the start of my career. Hope I could fit in soon.

Can I use two 'which' clauses in one sentence, like this? (English grammar problem) The eventual fates can be predicted by tracing of the lineage, which is the crucial foundation, and which is of the highest scientific importance. It seems unnatural. Could someone help me?

Media exercise In recent years, we have seen many trendy commodities that could sell out in a couple of hours, for example, Apple products. Although their large numbers of sales illustrate the power of advertising, I think sometimes these products are not what consumers really need. Advertising is a significant tool for companies to inform people of their service and merchandise. In advertisements, food and drinks look appealing and electronic gadgets seem portable and convenient. Also there would be celebrities telling us the latest fashion. From television, websites, radio broadcast and street posters, we could see numerous ads here and there every day. Most of them are both entertaining and informative. However, as corporations are driven by profit, they may use exaggerated and misleading commercial ads to increase the sales of what they sell. They probably use special effects to make fast food look fresh and nutritious which in fact will only affect people's health. Some advertisements may use sexual or violent images to attract attention, which will have negative effects on children's development because children will possibly copy those inappropriate behaviour in ads. Young people are encouraged to buy expensive goods to look fashionable and have similarities with their friends. In my opinion, it is an effective approach to use advertising to boost sales income and advertising industry is also making contributes to economy. However, I think advertisements should be regulated so that consumers could make well-informed choices to meet their real needs.
