Chinese essay-writing

           Essay-writing in my country is very different from the United States. Firstly, we don’t have any rights or rules about using outside resources. There is no “three words rule” with Chinese writers. It is free to use anyone’s article resources if you don’t copy the whole original articles. Even though someone might copy the idea and paraphrase from others without putting the author’s name and date of publication, it is acceptable. Of course, we don’t need to put references. Indeed, in the educational essay-writing in school, teachers allow students to use other authors words and a few sentences to help their essay; nobody will care about where, whose and when the resources you use. Besides, it is not popular to use websites for essay-writing in China. In addition, Chinese students don’t have as many writing papers as America schools do. Actually, I am not good at Chinese essays on even English writing. Generally, Chinese education is too rigid. The students achieve the knowledge only depending on the books, and follow the teacher’s idea. For these reasons, Chinese students are not as flexible in essay-writing as American writers.  

           In my case, I am not good at writing; there is not too much knowledge about facts or news in my mind. When I write an essay, I am so helpless to gather the information for my essay. So, using the resources from website helps me a lot on my papers. By the way, I can get much information and knowledge when I read other articles.  

Give Each Child Laptop is Not Good-F/W #4

    Children’s education become more and more important with a right way. If there is a program that every child from all countries can get laptop computer, that is absolutely good. However, there are many possible problems that could occur. Firstly, it is not all countries that can afford the expenses. For example, in the case of China, we have the biggest population, and our country is not rich enough. So I don’t think the government has finance for this kind of program. Secondly, when I think of computers, I will relate it to games. Children are always curious about new things. Most of them maybe interested about games and spend lot of time on them. If so, it is bad for their influenced on their education. But, if the computer was designed without any negative games, it is acceptable. Thirdly, computers exactly make people become more lazy than before. Giving them laptops when they are young and need primary education is not good for their future. All in all, giving each children laptop computer is not an ideal program.  

Life Changed in Small Town

There is a big difference between the small town I am living in now and the big city I used to live in. In a big city, communication and transportation are very convenient. But it is pretty busy, noisy and crowded on the street every day. People who live in the city often have a higher economic level in my country. So, most people prefer to spend time outside instead of staying at home, because there is lots of attractive entertainment, especially the night life. Therefore, a small town-Carbondale, where I am living, is exact quietness anytime and anywhere. There are few people outside day and night that; only happened in the evening in my hometown; it made me feel unsafe and pressured when I just arrived here. However, the environment is good enough in the small town. The air is fresh, the sky is blue, and the animals are free here, that is the huge difference from the big city. Of course, my lifestyle has been changed in the small town. It would make me mad to stay at home all day in my hometown, but here, I have to learn to keep myself quiet at home every day. I used to spend time in a bar or a club with friends, but not here because it makes me feel unsafe at night. Also, this place doesn’t have various choices of food as the big city dose.

Global Warming Causes in China

The global climate has been changed seriously. It shows obviously in my county. I remember that when I was child, the weather was very nice and fresh. We had four definite different seasons. There were three months for each season. It is enjoyable to see and feel the processing of changing the seasons. Every year, most people would like to expect the spring’s coming because the spring means bringing new things. That’s why we had “Spring Festival” in China. However, as global warming gets worse year after year, maybe we will have only two seasons or one season each year, because the climate is warmer than before. Also, in current years, we cannot feel spring’s coming anymore. Besides, we had snow every year and it was clean before. Therefore, seeing snow has already become a wish, because it is seldom. Even though it snows sometimes, the snow is dirty. In addition, summer is hotter now, and some people are suffering from the extreme hot weather in some areas of China.
