Homework 9-12 (November 25)

4406033:

This Friday was my birthday. My housemates and I had dinner at China star (a Chinese restaurant) to celebrate my birthday.

It seems that American people pay attention to children’s birthday. The parents will ask friends and relatives to their own house to celebrate child’s special day.

There is a big difference how Chinese people celebrate birthday. People always go to a good restaurant to have a big dinner with friends or family. The person who is on birthday can get lots of present from others, but he needs to pay the fee of dinner.

For me, it is not meaningful to celebrate birthday. For me, I am not obliged to my parents for giving birth to me. For me, it is a great agony to have a life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should the legal age for drinking alcohol be lowered ?

Why do the people like to drink alcohol ? they drunk because they are sad? Or they are drunk Because they are boring? Or they are drunk because they are happy ?I think they drink alcohol because they want to get drunk ? Should we let our young people get the feeling of alcohol? In my opinion, the people who are under 21 should not use alcohol because they will get troubles easily, alcohol effect to their brain and effect to their body.
1)    The young people get accident and troubles easily because they can’t control their self after drinking.

-For Example : When the young people drug they want to be a man, and then they start to  and get accident easily because they don’t have judgment .Due to can’t control their self, many teenagers fighting with their friends after drinking, also.

2) Drinking Alcohol effect to their brain. If the people use a lot of alcohol, they will be less intelligent and less memories
-For example: almost the peoples who are drunk, they forget everything of yesterday .Especially, the young people influence by alcohol worse than adults. Almost student drinking alcohol can’t memorize as well as the student who don’t use alcohol. Moreover, alcohol made young drinker‘s brain work slowly and they can’t comprehension knowledge from teacher in class.

3)    Drinking Alcohol effect to young people’s body If the young people use alcohol soon, their body can’t developed normally
Do you see a body of alcoholic? They are thin, look like hunger because they drink a lot instead gets their meal. Do you want all of our teenagers like this guy? However, the young people are the country’s development. So, all of us even disagree .

Alcohol is favorite drinking of some peoples, but we should think carefully about let the young people who are under 21 use alcohol. As alcohol‘s dangerous for younger generation that affect to development of a country, we can see many developing countries which have a lot of alcoholic because they start to drink since their young age.

4 November : Talk with native English

Last tuesday, i met some friends in speaking class. We told about

cheating in test and what is the best subject which the students like and

which one is hardest.They told me 4 subject which is Math, Chemiscal,

Physic and Biology.I ask them “why do you think that subject you like?”They

told me because that is basic in life and it’s neccessay in thier

major.Another question i ask them is “which subject is harest”They think

biology and english.Biology which the student have to remember a lot of

animal name,the part of body name, medicine name.I don’t understand why

do they think english is hard.They exlained to me, because English has

grammar in thier Writing class before.


Next question that i aksed them is “Why do the people cheating in

test?” They have 4 reason; frist, the students are lazy; second, the student

think they never were catch by teachers or professionals; third, they want to

get high grade; fourth, the student who think it can accept when they were

high shool but in University that’s not accept.They also told me about a girl

student who was studying in Havard. Due to getting high grade,however

Harvard is a difficult school, she cheatted in her class.


On Friday, Halloween day, i and 4 my friends went to theater of VCU

to watch a drama. It talks about some ghost. That ghost will told about why

did they die and what happen in their life .The story told about  tragedy of

college.Football of college like a battlefiield. I listen that story about 2 

hours, it bother me a little bite.After that, we went to Doughnut store and

ate.Finally we went home.
