ELS108 Vocabulary

1. I think Internet has the greatest impact on my life. We can use Internet to communicate with our friends even they're far away from us. We can use Internet to transfer money, shop online even control our home devises. It makes something ridiculous become feasible. If there isn't Internet anymore, I can't imagine what the world looks like.

2. In Beijing, it is always crowded on the subway. I usually meet someone using their bad to occupy a seat near them so that they can be more comfortable because they get a bigger space. But I think it is totally discourteous. Everyone is tired after a day work. All of we want to have a seat. But the number of seats are limited. It is very selfish to occupy more than one seat if you are single. Your comfort are standing on the others' comfort.

3. I want my close friends have same interests and opinions with me because it is the same interests and opinions that makes us closer. We have the same topic to discuss and do same things together. If our opinions are totally opposite, we need spend a lot of time to negotiate until we agree each other.

4. For me, I would reserve an existing law. In China, the traffic law shows that a car driver has  at least 10% responsibility to an accident even the passenger appears to the highway and causes this accident. It is obvious that the passenger is totally fault but the driver must compensate to the victim a sum. That is unfair! If a man knows he has cancer and will die soon, maybe he will cause a traffic accident. Not only he gets released, his family will get compensation. How about the driver? People only care about victim and weakness because they are poorer.

5.  It's important for me to be environmentally aware. If we destroy the environment, it is difficult to reverse because the destruction is irreversible and we can't do anything to let it recover. For example, if we cut down a tree, we need at least 20 years to replant it. Maybe something bad will happen during this time.

6. I do believe that happiness corresponds with money. Just as Murphy's  law shows us, if you have been thinking something badly, that bed thing will happen. If we keep happiness, we have a positive attitude to finish the assignments whether they're difficult or not.  Boss will admire the employees who has a positive attitude to their work. And we are willing to give other people a hand if we are happy. Maybe the people you do him a favour could be your next boss. Thus, your salary will soon get increased and you will have more money.

2.There is something happening in the place where I live. There are more and more building and a lot of people live in this district. I don't think it really interests me because too much population brings us too much pollution and traffic jams. This is the trend we can't stop it because our city needs to develop.

3.I don't think our government funds too much money to art but I think it's enough. China is a developed country and we need a large sum of money to invest the basic installation and some Chinese are still poverty. Art is a soul food to human. But if you can't satisfy your stomach, all of the soul food is useless.

4.It is known that China has the third biggest national territorial area in the world. With the development of world, one thing restricts the nation is the land. Everything can't leave with the land. We can use this land reasonably although there are desserts inside.
