traditional behavior
Question
Many customs and traditional ways of behavior are not relevant to modern life and are not worthy keeping. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
Answer:
It is inevitable trend that all aspects of society have been being changed significantly. However, whether the lifestyle people used to live for thousands years suits these days and should be maintained is a controversial issue. In my view, traditions could be optimized to keep up with the pace of modernisation.
Obviously, with informationisation and industrialisation, some traditional behaviors people rely on to subsist are not necessary any more. For example, in the past, villagers would conduct a campfire party in their farmlands in the winter in order to prevent their crops from frost. However, this is no longer the case for the reason that building greenhouses and climate changing methods are applied widely.
Besides, undeniably, a large number of customs relate to superstitions more and less. A typical example for it is that Chinese people play firecrackers during spring festival to drive away the monster which, people believe, will catch children in the Chinese new year. Of cause, the monster only live in fairy tale. So this behavior does not belong to modern society.
That is not to say that those should be moved out from our life. As traditions, they contain signals of culture and history, which provides ample evidence for archeologists and folklorists to research. Furthermore, customs also could give various recreational forms for people to, for example, celebrate new year, hold a wedding and so on.
In conclusion, some of the traditional behaviours are out of their original functions but they still can function in other aspects to enrich people's lives.

Sending criminals to the prison is not the best method of dealing with them
It is an inevitable argument that criminals should be imprison or not. Some people believe those offenders could be reformed well by education and occupational training. I have reservations that.
Firstly, no one can guarantee that criminals will not re-offend. There are plenty of examples show that prisoners commit again when they are released, which threats our society and do harm to the victims psychologically. Secondly, Education and job training are not the crucial fact of criminal prevention. Many criminals are well-educated and work well. Generally, the cases those persons did are more harmful to society than the ones did by the illiterate. Thirdly, sending criminals to the prison is a kind of revenge for comforting victims. Victims got not only physical harm but also psychic harm. Bodily injury could be cured by medicine. However, seeing foes be punished is the only active drug to treat the soul of victims.
Putting culprits into jails may give them opportunities to make friends, share experience of breaking the law and teach illegal skills with each other, which might easily make their behavior worse. Notwithstanding classifying convicts and teaching them in different class would help to avoid this situation. Apart from that, citizens may worry about that criminal record makes criminals finding jobs more difficult, which drives them commit be offenders. I reckon that government should help them protect their privacy and eliminates discriminations.
To sum up, incarceration is a necessary approach to reduce offence. Instruction sometimes has no help for dealing with criminals.

How many hours do you sleep every day
I sleep 6 or more hours everyday, I know it is not enough, but as a salaried worker, there is no point for me to go to bed early due to working OT frequently.
Apparently, sleeping enough is very significant for our health. If we have no plenty of sleep, our energy can not be recovered from a day long working and we would feel exhausted, which would lead to a bad result that we could not perform well in the office or in the study.
I used to taking a nap in the midday, it is very crucial moment for me. If I have no time to nap, I definitely will exhaust soon at the afternoon and I have to drink a lot to coffee to make me be awake.
Generally speaking, old people sleep less than young people. Although they go to bed early at night, they get up much early in the morning. InChina, in the very early morning, if you go to park or go to some restaurant where provide morning tea service , there are a lot of old people, most of them get up earlier than 4am.
According to scientific research, staying up late is surely a negative thing, which probably damage our health and deteriorate our body. Taking myself as an example, if I worked OT in last night, today my brain's reaction speed is slower and I will lose interestings to do anything.

Do you watch TV quite often？
To be honest, I have not been watching TV for several months, in other words, my TV became one of the antiques in my house. It has been being ignored for a long time not since it is broken, contrarily it works very well, but my family and I do not like watching TV and deem it as wasting time.
There are so many ways to acquire information efficiently instead of TV programs. If we want to watch stories, compared with serials drama, reading books will give us more details and more imaginary rooms. When we are going to catch the latest news, internet will tell us the story continuously. In the time we need to release ourselves from job stress, going to gym will upgrade our healthy level soundly rather than sitcom.
Notwithstanding, my TV still grabs some opportunities to exhibit its function. I love documentaries enthusiastically including BBC Documentary, Discovery Magazine and National Geographic Magazine. I always watch them by TV, which gives me enjoyment and impression.
On the basis of ophthalmologist’s report, it will damage our vision that concentrating on TV screen for a long time. Thus, I would not allow my kid to watch TV more than half hour per time, if I had a child. Undeniably, more and more children wear glasses and the age of first of getting myopia is becoming young. Nevertheless, I will not let it happens in my home.

what do you do when you are alone?
With growing up, I like to stay alone gradually.I am not as vigorous as I was before that went out to play with friends all day and all night withou exhausting, even no one was available, I still preferred to go out for fun by myself such as climbing mountain, cycling and going to gym. I do not know that it is the result of mentality changing by aging or of saving time for study.
Most of the time, I will study or read some books while I am alone. Before reading, I turn on the radio and play light music, which helps me concentrate on books easily. Sometimes, I like to make some tea with dried flowers, herbs or fruits. Drinking tea at interval of study is a fabulous moment.
Being alone is the one of my favorite methods to release job stress. It is also an important thing for me to refresh my brain so that I can out to the box to think about what I should do at the next terms and make a reasonable decision.
Although scientists say our brain only be developed ten percents, I believe it hardly be exploited farther. Obviously, there is no more room in our brain to remember anything when we just back from the office,it is full of job and chores. We have to get rid of useless informations from our cerebrum if we want to put some new in it. Perhaps, it is the reason why someone said forgetting is the best way for remembering.

Do you usually make phone calls or send text messages?
well, it depends on situation of mobilephone using. If the issue that I really want to talk to who is on the other end of the phone can not be postponed, I will tend to make a phone call, otherwise I will prefer to send text messages. I am going to disscus the drawback and merit of phone calls and text mesages.
Firstly, phone calls can connect both side of the line directly efficiently. Comparison with text messages, phone calls can convey a massive amount of information in a short time because of speaking speed is much faster than typing. Notwithstanding, phone calls will cause some kinds of accidents unintentionally. For example, when you are in a important meeing, unpredictable phone rings on your phone might damage your image in your boss mind. In other place, coverages about car accident caused by phone calls can be heart every now and then.
Whereas the disadvantage mentioned above, sending text messages hardly cause accidents and will not be missed because text can be read thousand times until you delete it.

Do you prefer to study in the morning or in the evening
As a salary worker, I am so occupied by my work that I am left with little time for studying, meanig that I have no regular time to concentrate on learning. In terms of it, I have to watch textbook in any fragmented time found such as waiting for bus, commuting to work even using toilet.
Generally speaking, provided that you do not fall in love with your bed, morning time is easy to be abstracted. Apart from that, in the morning, our body are full of vigour and energy, our thinking ability and reactivity are performing perfectly. With a vigorous body and brain, we can learn efficiently.
Incontestably, some people are used to staying up late and find it difficult to keep their mind on book in the morning. They dislike any voice, nontheless twitters of birds, by which they will be annonyed. On the contrary, quiet night helps those create an isolated world in their mind in which they can insulate the study environment from any disturbances.
Talking about the learning efficience improvement, I would like to take the english study as an example. Firstly, memorize words by using fragmented time. Secondly, write article every day with the new words just learnt. Thirdly, read coverages and mark down beautiful structures.

Do you like painting or drawing？
To be honest, I like painting and drawing. I often go to art galleries even I do not really know how to appreciate them. However I like the atmosphere of gallery which is peaceful and nobleness. And enjoy the feeling that ramble among the fabulous pictures.
In fact, I did not like watching paintings when I was a child because I felt I was satirized by them due to my terrible drawing class performance. In other words, I hated paintings. Nonetheless, it was a very interesting story which my mentality was changed. There was a public garllery which was free for children near my primary school. I often went to there for fun when I skipped classes and dared not back home. yep, I was not a good student and used to be blamed by my parents and teachers. Again,in the gallery, I had nothing to do except pretending to appriciate the arts for killing time. The gallery changed exhibitions regularly, which caused me been exposed to various art works and been infected by painting and drawing.
I like many kinds of painting and drawing such as impressionism, surrealism, illustration painting, landscape painting and chinese traditional painting. However, abstract syle is not in my favorite list.It is hard for my to figure out what the artist wants to express even what it was painted. I think I live in a different dimension from the artist, I am not intelligent enough to communicate with him/her throught a wormhole.
In my view, learning draw is the one of difficult things in the universe. Althought I love to go to art galleries, I still can not hold a painting pencil well. Notwithstanding my colleagues can understand charts drawed by me which was used for presenting my ideas, I thank them very much for sympathizing.

I hate noise
I am fed up with noise. In the noises, I can not concentrate on my study or work. Living in the modern society, it is hardly to discover a place without noises which come form traffic, household appliances, office equipments, outdoor video advertisements and so on. If I have to make a choice which is the worst noise maker, I would like to say the building site. Engineering vehicles, construction machinaries and decorating process make noises together as a symphony of hell by which blood pressure is rised and hearing is losed.
To some extent, noise is kind of sound. Is sound a song or noise. Different people have different definition. For example, constant repeating may be called noise, but no one dislikes twitter of birds. On another place, music studium is filled with enthusiastic fans who would get a short period hearing loss after the concert.Those songs played loudly over the bearing capacity of human ears must be called noise.
Noise pollution is getting worse with the modernizing pocess. Our residential areas are surrounded by racket, which cause plenty of chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, sleep distrubances. From my prospective, although there are no effective methods to reduce noise, we can protect our hearing by means of some simple way such as using sound baffles and traveling to natural places which is far away from urban let our ears take a break.

prepare for future jobs
Technological developing is affecting all aspects of the world significantly. people’s working environment is not the exception. There is may no individual will stay at a company or a position during his/her career. Changing job gives people more opportunities and challenges.
Firstly, techniques of all fields are improving every day and People is falling back every minutes if they do not grab the trends. For example, journalists use computers to type reports instead of by hand writings, otherwise news can not arrival at reader’s mobile phone and will become history at the time people watch it. For this reason, keeping learn and adapting yourself to the new technical method are the effective way to catch the era.
Secondly, new knowledge and new industries are spring up each year. Most of them are interdisciplinary which require cross-subject talents and offer plenty of job opportunities for who not limited themselves in their university’s subjects. For instance, the project managers who work for internet companies must have the capacity of user-interface designing, user-experience improving, marketing data analyzing and so on. However, there are no major in universities called Project Management of cyber world. In this situation, jumping out of the box of personal speciality and acquire new skills, individuals would have the chances to upgrade to higher and brilliant platform
From what has been discussed above, I recommend, in that information-explosion society, people should keep their knowledge refresh and up to date, meanwhile keep to expand what they learnt to relative spheres. As the proverb goes: opportunities are provided for who prepared.
