#Weblog2:India's ultracheap car arrives with load of uncertainties

I don’t know whether the Nano can still lead the trend in following ten years, but I really think the Nano is a thoughtful design to help the poor.

History has told us that money will appreciate after several years. Thus, the truth worth of money depends on time. My opinion is that those people maybe have “enough” budget to buy a car in the past. However, time will change. In the end, they stayed in the lower status in society and have no chance to become a higher status.

Fortunately, there were some people willing to give a hand. They made any methods to create a car with cheap price. They didn’t follow the rule in the material civilization but let the poor take the advantage. Actually, they benefited little. Moreover, they headed a tread to let the “businessman” care the market in poor area which no one gave it a try before.

I have learned about the culture of India and impressed by their strict classes according to their religious. Even though their government tried hard to rid out those traditional point of view, those stereotypes still live in people’s minds.

Much to my surprise, there are lots of high-educated people standing out to help their country get through this tough condition. Besides this case, a guy founding Microcredit for poor people won Noble Prize in 2006. They were patriotic. I thought their behavior honor our respect. (239words)

Weblog#1:A Web Awash in Liquor Ads, Promoting Moderation

I felt impressed after reading the news. Because before I read the article, I always considered drinking wine as bad hobbit. However, there are lots of slogan appeared all resort to drink responsibly. Of all the methods to drink in moderation way, I think the sign said ” Know when to say when ” was a useful idea to those alcoholics. By this way, they don’t need to stop drink abruptly but also can enjoy the taste of wines. It helps them to know moderated drinking is good for their life. Furthermore, I think sending the message to their mobiles is also a good way. Every time alcoholic will noticed themselves the manner of drinking when they see the messages.

Recently, the economy is in depression. I think most of people choose drinking to forget the regret on losing their jobs. It is really a bad time. But I think they should also take care of their health first, the bad economy situation will change depending on the time. No matter how bad the situation will be, being a alcoholic is definitely a fool decision. Without a clear mind to adopt useful method, I ponder the their bad condition of losing jobs will never end.(205 words)

According to the report” Smoking ban in cafes puts French off cigarettes”, it described the new policy in French. There are a new law put into practice is smoking ban in cafes. Therefore the article used some different views to discuss this issue. It included not only from the government attitude but also from the smoker and the merchandise who sells cigarettes.

Though the article is not short, I feel it is interesting. Now this is 2009 years and there is a new law going to be put into practice soon. Until that day, people in Taiwan will be forbidden to smoke in public space. Besides, the taxes on cigarettes will also rise. If some one disobeyed the law, the person needs to pay amount money for the punishment.

In my point of view, I truly don’t like people smoke. I just can’t figure out the joy of smoking because it will hurt your health deeply. Also, you can’t get any advantage to smoke. Smoking doesn’t like the cool way that movie described and it can’t help you flew away from troubles. However, it will make your brain not in good condition and there will some odd smell surround you.

For the reason mentioned above, I am against smoke but I think people should also respect the smoker. It need some time to accept” Big change”! By the way, I think the main reason to ban smoke should be propagated. Don’t let smoker only think where to buy the cheap cigarettes or other weird methods for keeping smoke.

I think it is really a good policy.(266words)

According to the report” The Gift of Christmas Breakfast”, it described interesting Christmas breakfast that westerners would do. Every person had it own family tradition but Christmas breakfast was definitely the important breakfast meal in the whole year.

Christmas was very important in western countries but by the merchant skills Christmas become commercial day to get big benefits in eastern places. Actually, easterners felt hard to understand the true meaning of Christmas day. We only thought it was another celebrated day and can exchange our cards and gifts to our friends.

I remembered when I was little, I also fascinated by the story of Santa Claus. In my family, we didn’t use to celebrate on that day. Also, we won’t use stockings like eastern children to wait for present. But when I mentioned the Santa Claus story, I really received the gifts next morning. At this time to call back my memory, the gift must put by my parent.

Maybe Christmas to easterner just like Chinese New Year to Orientals. The two celebrated day had different meaning on each other. Because the difference, the world become more interesting. Also, we need to learn and respect the culture we are not familiar with.(202words)

It described several different stories and what the lender’s decisions. Also, it focused on their relation between the lender and the borrower after the event.

I found it was an interesting article. When I was little, my parent inculcated me not lend money to my friend. They even gave me more than enough money to prevent me from borrowing others. But I didn’t like to carry big sum of money, I would take half of money which my parent gave. Thus, I also had the experience to ask others money and lend others money.

I thought there were some principles to lend other’s money. First, I would set up the maximum sum that I would like to lend others. Second, I would observe the borrower personal qualities. The person needed be responsible and hard working.

It seemed it was a guilty to borrow money from others. Actually, things mentioned money was complicated and I thought it may affect the relation between each other. Though money can’t buy anything, you can’t do anything without money. (201 words)

According to Roni Caryn Rabin in The High Price of Cheap Eats, the report reveals the terrible result of eating low price food. For example, shopping in the fast food is definitely not the good bargain.

Actually, I seldom eat fast food. After I read this cover, I just ponder over the relation between price and quality.

I am a thrifty person who likes cheap things. However, from recent news, the cheap products made by China cause a lot of problems. I also had some bad experience that I bought some bad products for cheap price. It seems it is the formula that price stands for quality except the brand.

Also, the food is essential to human. We can’t move it out of human’s life. The old saying believe that the food cause one’s health condition. I agree this kind of opinion now.

Recently, the prevailing trend is to take care of our environment. Some people use green material or become a vegetarian. I think the vegetarian is a good way. I had some data that shows the energy circulation. Indeed, we acquire few from the animals. Lots of livestock is needled for providing human abundant food. Thus, our food is poisonous.(202words)

According to Jane Perlez and Somini Sengupta in the news Mumbai Attack Is Test for Pakistan on Curbing Militants, it discussed the new government of Pakistan attitude and what the steps the government will adopt.

The terrorist happened in Mumbai recently scared me. It caused a lot of tragedies. Some people lost the person whose take important part in their life. I even heard that the attack was launched by young boys. After receiving this news, I just wanted to ask: ” What happened to the world? ”

I know there must have various reasons that cause this event. Some things that I don’t understand in history and race and the reason can’t be easy to forget. The judge that who is right or wrong is hard to distinguish.

However, I think life is holy and no body has right to deprive it. I not only focus on this event. I mean a lot of proofs that people would do some irrational things. I can find wars not only in the past but even in other places of modern world. We call ourselves the “rule of the world”. Then the reason that we resort to violence when happened something we cannot handle. How ironic it is!

Not like the beauty match, I truly eager the slogan-”world peace.” I do not whether it will come true or not but I wish it in my heart. There are lots of measures we can choose except violence. The slogan seems old style and few people want to believe it. But I think it is the thing that reflects what I want deeply. (269 words)
