As for me, phrasal verbs, prepositions and relative clauses are some of the most dificult things to learn. However, I have been keeping learning them for a few days and they becomes much easier to me.

The crowded library + For them, a seat is not very necessary, they may just seat on the floor and bury their eyes into papers. I love reading, but I have to admit that I seldom come to library for reading books. I usually belong to the first group. However, if I'm free from work and study, I do enjoy reading a book like a real reader in a library. I read e-books as well, but the recent book I started reading on an app appears to be a paid book. I find this optional, because I could easily borrow that book from the public library. I really think library is the best infrastructure to mankind, though sometimes it could be frustrating, because you are not come to the library as early as others did, so you end up not finding an available seat.

The crowded library Libraries in China divides to the public and the campus' . Finding a seat in library could be very challenging. I have graduated from college for years, but going to libraries have always been common to me. It's easy to find a public library in a city. Libraries always look grand and beautiful. They are not only public infrastructures but also served as landmarks in their areas. From what I have visited, the public libraries in metropolis are always extraordinarily spacious and clean. They are closed to subway stations and malls. You literally can live in a public library if are allowed. Some of the libraries even provide oven for readers who would like to eat there. There are dining area provided. The collection of books is abundant, however, this is not the main factor why library is getting super popular. In my opinion, the readers in public libraries could be divided into three groups. The first is people who are looking for a nicer place for their study or work. Library creates a good atmosphere help people concentrate on things easily. The second is people who are looking for a nicer indoors occasion. Some people dislike being at home, or they aren't satisfied with their own home's infrastructures, so they come to libraries to kill time. In this group, some of them just sit on there and start playing phone games, or watching videos, some even sleep there. Library provides fast WiFi, water, fresh air, charging sockets, lamps, air conditioning, and comfortable seats. One can even save up for utility bills by just staying the whole day in a library. The third group is those real readers. However, they aren't commonly seen. Electronic reading is very popular and convenient. If people have a target book to read, they may read directly on their phone. Or, they may come to library borrow the book, it's unnecessary for them to find a seat. There are people prefer random reading or exploring books as well. +

I watched “coco”. I I had never watched that before, so I am so glad I did. Also? I could learn the day of dead, and I think it’s really important day. It provided me a new way of looking at the matter.

Some people think it is important to have breakfast everyday, while others believe skipping breakfast is advantageous. Discuss both views and give your opinion. There are two schools of thought about the importance of breakfast; one views it as the foundation of health, whereas the others argue that people benefit from skipping breakfast. Both opinions have compelling arguments and studies, and I think the conclusion will vary for each indivudual, depending on their preference. Advocates for breakfast regard breakfast as indispensable for a healthy lifestyle. First, it provides necessary calories for daily activities. Without it, people would experience lack of energy, drowsiness or lost of concentration. Similarly, nutrition from breakfast helps maintain body functions. Studies have shown that humans' body takes in nutrients most in the morning because digestion become less active at night. On the other hand, critics of breakfast often refer to intermittent fasting. Scientists say fasting for 12-16 hours optimises body functions, leading to improved wakefulness, healthy weight loss and removal of harmful substance. Skipping breakfast nicely meets the fasting requirement. My uncle have substituted breakfast with coffee for years and never caught a cold. Another advantage of skipping breakfast is to save time in the busy morning. People can sleep longer instead of preparation and cleaning up. Both views are evenly reasonable, and in my opinion, which works better depends on one's inner clock. Studies have revealed that early birds and night owls are innate characteristics. When somebody has a nocturnal chronotype, they may feel no appetite in the morning. It seems biologically correct for people to listen to their bodies, which tell them when to eat. In conclusion, it is hard to determine whether skipping breakfast is good or bad, and it boils down to the question of personal preference.

China has a one-child policy in which every married couple can only have one child.

The sun was shining today. Music came first in the morning, I practiced my scales and arpeggios diligently after Vivian's chide last night. I hadn’t practiced enough obviously. Focused, I tackled those exercises before lunch. The afternoon took a turn towards the visual arts! Dad taught me about perspective drawing - how to use lines to create the illusion of depth and distance. I am not really into drawing, but anyway, I could grasp it. Overall, a very artistic day indeed!
