Teacher "Plato is dear, but dearer still is truth”. Today we are unable to count how many of pieces of truth that Plato imparted to Aristotle, but the words above tell us Plato opened a door of pursuing truth for him. Teacher is more than the one who stands in the classroom. In our daily life, those all who can inspire you to think play a better role of teacher. As a Chinese saying goes, give a man a fish, he can live a day; teach a man how to fish, he can live for a life. Jeff is such a person who likes teaching fishing rather giving a fish. He instructs me not only how to write in English, but also how to make it beautiful. Once I planned to write an essay in a mechanical pattern, Jeff bluntly refuted my point because he sincerely hopes I can make the job better through his extra push. Now I set up an ultimate ideal for myself that is making writing into an elegant art rather than a stiff tool.

In twenty years, there will be fewer cars are in use than there are today. Topic: In twenty years, there will be fewer cars are in use than there are today. No one can neglect the contribution of cars in people’s life in 20th century. However, I think cars face the problem to be reduced in the next 20 years just because we overuse them today. First, in past half century, crude oil exploitation is dramatically grown which makes the energy crisis concerning all facilities which cost fuel. Car takes a considerable part of using fuel. Nowadays people are pursuing to find other substitute for gas. however, we find that it's hard to make it efficient and economic because of limited technology. Since it's a long period to develop applicable gas substitute, we think reducing cars and using bicycles and taking public transportation such as buses and trains could be a temporary replacement because there is less cost of fuel per capita when people take public transportation, comparing with individual cars. Second, fewer cars can urge a greener earth since environmental pollution is seen as a worldwide topic. Scientists predict that the sea level would rise over one meter after fifty years and a series of cities on the seashore could be immerged in one hundred years due to greenhouse effect which is caused by excessive emission of carbon dioxides. To solve this problem, we must limit the quantities of cars whose exhaust gas ranks second place in omission of greenhouse gas, right after industrial exhaust. Lastly, cars are initially used to server people's lives, but we can observe that you would hardly reach your destination on time by a car if you live in a megapolis. Traffic problem is negatively influence our lives indeed. If you read news, then you find how people deal with this issue. For example, people in London pay an extra while they are entering in the center by car. How is the situation in Beijing? The answer is your car can drive only the day of even numbers or uneven. What's more, ninety percent of people in Tokyo take subway to their offices and leave their cars at home. Thus, I assert that cars will be fewer, and public transportation will develop fast instead. To sum up, I confidently believe cars are gradually becoming fewer in twenty years than today because the problems of energy crisis, environment pollution and traffic jam.

my favorite sport: swimming I am a very sportive guy, and you can always find me in basket ball gyms, at tennis courts or fitness centers. However, my favorite sport is swimming. And there are a couple of reasons to name. To begin with, swimming is a high-efficient cardio to strengthen muscle and reduce fat simultaneously. With a strong and healthy stature I feel confident every day. Moreover, I love the feeling while touching water. I’m sure each of my nerve cells is enjoying relax when my body immerges in the water. Someone told me that a person is re-experiencing the sensation before birth when s/he is swimming. So I guess maybe I used to be a good swimmer before birth.

dictionary Dictionary is one of my best friends. First, dictionary is a useful tool when I study foreign languages. I always carry around an electronic dictionary so that I can translate those unknown words while reading news, watching movies and communicating with foreigners. Second, a dictionary can work not only as a tool of translation, but also an instructive encyclopedia. As no one can realize everything in the world, we can learn what the terms mean from a dictionary. For example, many American never hear of the game named as “snooker”, and then you can find it out from your dictionary that snooker is a traditional British pool which is popular in Europe and Asia. In short, the dictionary is a trustable friend and it never let me down since I meet it first time.

essay:"always telling truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people" I have been taught that to find truth and to be true is our life goal since I was young. Thus, I definitely contend that it's most important consideration while telling the truth between people. First, we could commit a crime if we don't form the habit as telling truth. in the period of Three Kingdoms in China about nearly 1800 years ago, the great statesman Zhugeliang instructed the little prince of the Kingdom of Shu:"Do not think any virtue trivial, and so neglect it; do not think any vice trivial, and so practice it". We can image that a person who robbers or steals probably learnt gaining some advantages via cheat in his childhood. Similarly, criminal fraud could be a consequence of telling lies when you accept this approach to solve problems and are gradually accustomed to use it as a tool. Furthermore, many people consider "white lie" as a kindhearted way to dispel others' worries. For example, someone might lose his or her close kin, another might get incurable disease. However, by my own opinion, I think to talk to people frankly can be more effective and helpful for them because we cannot avoid facing reality despite how cruel it can be. In contrast, we can really feel relaxed and pleasant only when we admit truth. In short, I think insisting on telling truth is a requisite quality in our lives, as it leads your attitude to be positive and make you feel easy.
