Happy New Year!! Of course, everyone has different resolutions for the new year. I got three wishes for this new year:

First of all, I wish to change a new car. Even though everybody believes Japanese car can save money on fuel, I do think it represents unsafely. So, I wish I will have enough money to change a European car. Maybe Ferrari is a good choice....haha Secondly, I wish I will finish my bachelor degree soon. So, I expect to make a lot of money. In addition, I hope to stay with my parents more time in the next few years. I am the only child of my family. So, they miss me very much. Finally, I wish this winter in Athens will not be too cold. If that, I will become struggle to get up....omg!

I hope everyone's dreams will come true like mine.

Jan 10, 2011 Free Writing

Last weekend, I watched a video online. My teacher, Mike, provided this interesting video. I guess he hoped us learn the right way to manage our time like that professor said. At the beginning of the video, I saw a famous professor and he is a funny and humorous guy. He asked many questions about the time management. What was he talking about next? Let me think. He asked how many students choose history as their major. There are about 20 percent students risen their hands. If he talks about too much the time management, he should gives us more kinds of information. In general, his meaning is try to teach us how to manage our time wisely. Also, he gave us some examples to explain his meaning. He felt about thirty percent people do not know the way to time management. What's more, those people waste time on many entertainments. They should learn more things about their daily life and make a good plan for those wonderful and perfect days.

Jan 11, 2011 Computers

Nowadays, more and more people have treated computers as one of their important part of lives, they use it to work, relax, communicate, educate and E-shopping. However, many problems happen when people enjoy benefits of computers. For example, some people make fake information and porn and violent video to make illegal money by computers. Another people always keep running their computers to download files from Internet, and that causes wasting electricity and money. Therefore, computers bring both benefits and problems at the same time as people use them in three main parts: entertainment, E- shopping and communication.

For example, in one telephone commercial, a woman with a briefcase is saying goodbye to her child and husband as she is about to catch a plane.
2-13. I believe that bad weather bring a serious problems to people. First of all, when the weather begin to snow, people have to clean their cars. Recently, I always had to clean my car because of snow. After snow, people also have to drive carefully or they will meet serious accidents. In Athens, in addition to snow in winter, there is often rain. For instance, if raining, people have to take umbrellas, so it makes people feel uncomfortable and awful. For example, I do not like raining, and I have to take shower to avoid having a fever when I go back to my dorm. Because of those bad weathers, people prefer a sunny day.

Especially, people mostly like staying a sunny day, and enjoy lying on the beach. In addition to lying on the beach, people will read books and chatting with each others.

2-14 Brainstorm: nervous, coufused about the preparation, journals, daily, interesting, significant. At first, I do not like writing at all, because I do not know what I can write about and why I need to do it. After I took a long time writing class, I found it is really interesting and write down every things I met. What's more, I also can tell those things to my friends on my blog. They will me some wonderful or excellent comments or advices. It encourages me sometimes. It is significant that if you write a journal very day, you will feel good and have a plan about what you have done and what you should do then. It makes me happy because I got a good way to share my experience and practice my writing skill. That is really funny.

Before I take a test, I always feel excited and a little nervous. If it is a really important test, I feel nervous, but I do believe I have prepared well, so I am excited to finish that test. Generally, I prefer the multiple choice tests The essay is hardest for me in the test. Even though some people realize that the multiple choice test is much more easy to guess. However, it also has difficult parts and if people just guess the answers from multiple choice, I do not think anybody can guess all correct answers. On the other hand, when people answer the essay question, if he is not good at writing, he may express wrong ideas.
