I live in a barber shop now. I can sleep at night after the customer and barber leave. The barber lives here sometimes too. I rented the room from the barber. I thought his advantage is his silence. There is a saying, “blind massage, mute barber (doesn’t promote anything such as hair dye)”; showing how valuable the silence is, especially a barber’s. But just today when I went back to the place, the barber said, “It’s time to do your hair. Too long and too much white hair.” The only advantage disappeared. Yesterday I just said people advise me to dye my hair to my learner, she asked why; I said because they want to make money. She said she had been dyed her hair for ten years because of peer pressure. The spirit roams that long-ago land— you will laugh at this sentimental me, hair streaked white before my time.

WHAT IF THE WORLD BECOME VEGAN?* Experts argue that a global change to a vegetarian diet would be dangerous. Many regions in the world depend on imported proteins and this has an environmental cost. In two thousand and seventeen**, a study made in the Polytechnic Institute of Virginia shown what would happen if the whole population of U.S.A. became vegan: - Lands designated for cattle raising would become farmlands. - The farm waste would augment because there would not be enough animals to consume it. Its incineration would produce two million tons of CO2 per year to the atmosphere. - Almost all the plant food would be manufactured by the chemical industry, and it would add twenty three million tons more of CO2 emissions per year. - In respect to the current situation, in this vegan country the total CO2 emissions would be reduced by twenty eight percent. However, the population would be affected by calcium, B12 vitamin, and some fat acid deficiency. - The quantity of food would raise twenty three percent, because farming produced more per hectare than cattle raising. - Many animals would have to be killed. In England, a reduction of seventeen percent in the last ten years was supposed: thirty five percent of land released for other uses; save twenty three percent of water; and twenty eight percent less of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, the national goal is to achieve a thirty percent of meat consumption, off of the current one, by 2030. (*) If some expressions are too much informal, correct them. Please. (**) I've decided to write down all the numbers in letters to practice my spelling.

Though something are popular, are they always correct? There is no suprised that all the things which can do on smart phones attract us. We always subconsciously take out our phones in any case, such as waiting for elevator, talking to others, even while being scolded by our boss. The entertainment apps stalled on out phone are various. Watching videos, playing games and livestreaming, we can find a lot of things to entertain ourselves on our phones. The apps are updated frequently, many of them are usualy unexpected. We rather lie on the couches and stay with our phone.than spend a lot of time e hanging out with friends. Some people have been concered about this phenomenon, they have a great pharse to describe it: spiritual opium. But nothing changed. We are still addicted to these apps which can entertain ourselves day by day!
