celebrity culture Some people think social media offer opportunities for talented people to achieve their dreams, while others feel it has a detrimental effect on Society. This essay agrees with the following statement because while it may be right in the case of some talent people, others seem to become a celebrity for an unreasonable reason and it set a bad example for youth. Some people achieve fame without working for it. The social media indeed offer talented people the opportunities which led them to reach their success. However, people who become famous may have just appeared on a gossip website or a reality TV program. For example, some gossip websites post rich people’s luxury parties, and nightclubs live videos, bags, cars or even pets. Some live TV show invite ordinary audience does some acts are not healthy or appropriate. They encourage people to get more attraction to increase advertisement income. This aspect of a celebrity’s culture set bad example to young people. Some stars can get work in areas unconnected to their talents. They send young people dualism message. One is that success is only possible when you come from a reach family, and the other is people can achieve success quickly without study or hard work. These messages are harmful to society. If many young people believe they cannot have success without wealthy parents, they could lose their passion or aim for their work. If many young people spend much time obsess with the talent show, they could lose their job. In conclusion, although some talented people can get opportunities to achieve their dream on internet or TV, too much attention on the celebrity culture is detrimental for young people to develop their talents through application and perseverance.

private car Today an increasing family own one or more cars in urban areas, both in developed countries and developing countries. Some people believe that the private car is more convenient than the public system, while others think a great number of private cars lead to traffic jam and air pollution. I agree with the latter view. On the one hand, it is very convenient to own a car, especially in the areas which public transport systems are not enough. Have a car means that people can go whenever and wherever they want. This is very useful in an emergency situation. For example, if one family member is ill at midnight when the bus and subway are both closed, and cannot book a taxi, use the private car to go to the hospital on time is essential. In other words, the private car is more flexibility. On the other hand, more and more cars on the roads mean that both the traffic and air is getting worse. Nowadays traffic jam is the norm in the big city all around the world. A survey revealed by the National Transportation Center in China found that more than 60% of the working people need more than 3 hours from home to work. In addition, a traffic jam caused serious air pollution. Heaps of studies have conducted research on the relationship between cars and air quality, and they all showed air quality is significantly affected by the number of cars. In conclusion, the adverse effects of private car outweigh their advantages. More private cars mean less convenient traffic and unhealthy air.

A Changed Plan It was 2000 and during the summer holiday, one day two of my friends proposed that we should climb a nearby mountain and search for some mushrooms in the next day. It was a great proposal and we were all excited to spend our time there. We were very happy to have the opportunity to have such activity. The weather forecast showed that there was little possibility of rain and the temperature would remain almost the same tomorrow. But our luck must have been quite bad as the weather completely changed in the next morning. At first, there was too little rain, combined with some light winds. But then the wind changed and became stronger. At the same time heavy rain started falling. The mountain was not a good place to visit that day. It was a two-hour journey and we were supposed to go there early next morning. However, the weather condition forced us to abandon the trip and stay home. The weather is so bad that we all have to stay at home. "When my parents declared that we have to cancel our climbing trip, we planned to cook with my parents at home. At around 12.30 am, when the weather was still bad, we were busy with cooking. We ate rice, tofu, beef and some vegetables. After lunch we played different types of indoor games and that was fun.in the evening, the rain stopped and my friends left our house. Though our initial plan was ruined due to a sudden weather change, nevertheless, we still enjoyed some time with each other. It is a happy memory for all of us.
