Introducing Myself I come from Beijing, the capital of China. Now I'm working in Shanghai, another big city in China. Recently, I determine to change my way of life because I feel depressed and lose my passion. First, I will move to a new house near to the office. In that way, I can save 1 hour on the way. Second, I take Yoga class 2 times a week to make myself refreshed and relax after a tedious day. Moreover, it helps me lose weight and perfect my body figure! Last but not least, I become a member of Italki. I hope improve my English. In return, I will teach my friends Chinese. I am very patient and expressive.

Should a new restaurant be built in your neighborhood? What do you think if a new restaurant built in your neighborhood? Some people may be against the idea because of too much noise, potential pollution etc. Some people, however, may welcome the proposal. As far as I am concerned, I would like to have a restaurant built in my neighborhood. Firstly, a new restaurant nearby makes my life more convenient. As we all know, cooking is very important in the daily life and it is also time-consuming. Especially when I go back to home after a teidous working day, cooking is such a painful thing! However, if there is a restaurant nearby, I don't have to waste my time and energy to prepare the food. What I need to do is simply to sit down, make an order, enjoy the wonderful meal and then, the most impotant thing, leave the restaurant without cleaning the mess. Second, a new restaurant is an ideal place to meet my friends. Sometimes, it is boring to meet my friends and relatives at home, particularly the friends who I am not quite familiar with. If there is a restaurant around the corner, I will invite them to have fun there. While drinking and eating, we have more topics to talk about. The great environment of the restaurant make our talk more pleasant. In addtion, I can make more friends in the restaurant. If the restaurant is not far away, I will take a walk there more frequently and meet new people. Furthermore, restaurant normally offers a variety of food and drink, so I can enjoy different food with different friends. There must be a dish catering to my friend, which makes them happy and talktive. In conclusion, I suppport the idea that a new restaurant should be built in my neighborhood not only because it makes life easier but also because it is an ideal place for meeting friends and relatives.

Important qualities of a good supervisor Although everyone works in different places such as company, factory, university and so on, the standards evaluating a good supervisor are same in several aspects. In the first place, a good supervisor treats his or her staff fairly. He knows how to balance the workload. He will not let some members of his staff do a lot of work while others only do a few things. Moreover, he will not let his subordinates complete a project in a few days that actually needs half a month to finish. On the contrary, a poor boss usually doesn't allocate the time and workload in an efficient way. As the deadline is approaching, he is so desperate to finish the task on time that he will put a lot of pressure on his team members. In the second place, an eligible supervisor cares for his staff. He is aware of their feelings and emotions. If you are sick, he will send you flowers, pay a visit to you or arrange other staff members to see you if he is busy. If you feel stressful or exhausted while working, he will guide you how to deal with stress and depression. In the meantime, he will arrange some activities outside the company, such as hiking, camping or traveling, to make you feel relaxed and refreshed. Last but not least, a qualified supervisor praises and criticizes in a straightforward way. If you are making progress, he will recognize your achievement and encourage you. Furthermore, he believes that you can even do better next time. On the other hand, if you make a mistake, he will point it out and figure out the reason behind it. He will remind you of avoiding the same error next time rather than complain to your co-workers. To sum up, I believe that a good supervisor should be impartial, considerate and straightforward. Only in this way can he lead a team with outstanding performance.
