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)

Modern people count on medical care a lot than the past. The medical prices are diverse among countries and it is hard to say the way to seek cheap price is right or wrong. I believe every penny has it cost but if we can save much more money especially during the economic depression. Who won’t give it a try?

Every county have it special techniques. Take the nation and overseas information, patient as us will have more choices. We can manage our money well and satisfy what we spend for. I have a friend who went to South Korea to take some operation. She felt so good and recommend me to take medical treatment overseas.

What we should be careful is collecting more information if you want to be treated overseas. You can not be lured just only by the difference in price. The lower price accompanies higher risk you should take. It is the formula.

If I ever have a chance, I would like to go to New Zealand. Maybe one day the nation will expert in other things because it lures me by their beautiful nature scene. (229 words)

It also discussed the reason why the whales got into stuck and gave some common places that accidents easily happened. The report said it was rare that can save so many whales after mass stranding.

I very like whales. Their high IQ and cute exterior catch everyone’s eye. They always move in a group and have mild temperate. There are lots of movies and legends involved whales. Even you go to the zoo and you can watch the special whale’s show. You can see how popular they are in human’s world. They are mammal as human and evolved from wolves. They are really the precious worth in the land.

I don’t exactly know the reason why they strand which would kill their life. The reasons may be too complicated that I don’t want to discuss. There is only one thing that I am sure: To do anything you could to protect them. This animal should preserve well that our offspring can also appreciate them.

According to Joseph Szczesny in October Car Sales Even Worse than Expected, it reveals the condition that few persons would glad to buy a new car. The financial crisis can be instantly observed by the statistics. Now the carmakers only hope that the financial markets stabilize soon. They believe that after the election, everything will get better.
I think the car sale is the important index to know a country’s economy. After the war, the U.S and Japan exported their cars overseas. It had a big impact not only on trade but also on culture or other parts. The more the cars are sold, the more the advanced countries it stands.
The situation is different now. The financial crises crash the whole world. We are in another recession. We have careful calculation and strict budging. We are thrifty everything we spent. Who will still have extra money to buy that luxurious entertainment?
I agreed all of us are in hard time. In fact, it’s not so nice, however, I believe this period will end soon. Browsing through human history, it’s common to see the economic up and down. So, there is nothing need to be worried. We will still laugh at last.(202 words)

According to Elisa Mala in The Stuff of Life, there is a new style in trend. That is put DNA's images to our life. Humans can map their own to design the product. Those special things decorated in the home must make your life style outstand from others.
I am always envious about the beauty taste. Some people really have special taste to match things well. You will see their favorites often differ from ordinary people. When they show off what they collected or explain the ideas of design, it cans really overthrow your stereotype. Who knows one day even DNA can be one of the materials in design? From the picture, DNA is not only the noun in biology but also the fashion stuffs in your home. How dramatic change it is!

My sister majors industrial design in college. I often marvel the ideas she thinks of. In order to catch the new ideas, she often needs to read a lot of books and periodicals. Before she designs the products, she takes brainstorm with others long time. Her ideas should go through several times revised and formed the outcome at last.
Because I'm not good at art, I think it is a hard and long road toward design area. It competes with each other seriously and needs to strike new things soon. I give all designers big applause to thank for adding spicy to our life. (237words)

According to Peter Bradshaw in High School Musical 3: Senior Year. There a new sequel of High school Musical. The essay describes the movie's new story and make some introduce.

I like to watch High School Musical. I am the big fan to the movie. Unlike the traditional movie in Hollywood or serious opera in Broadway, it's just in the middle. You will feel the plot is more closed to our life, and you can still enjoy in music in ease way. I'm also impressed well by the way they dance. It seemed you can dance every time and everywhere. They had use the material like basketballs or tableware.

I bought the CD of High School Musical 2 and I really think it's worth it. The music there were all fantastic and there had some cute handwritings on it which was very different from others. Besides, the lyrics were so meaning or interesting that I even used them to cheer my friends up.

Except the things mentioned , the movie characters also near my age. I think that why it released would be anticipated by lots of young people. I feel amazed to see it to become a worldwide movie from a small-screen product by Disney at the beginning.(209words )

According to Hadley Freeman in Split that is end of an era - and tragedy for Pilates Madonna and Guy Ritchie announced their divorce today after nearly seven years marriage. The two celebrities from both side of British and American again hit the news headline. Actually, in the beginning of this year, public had predicted their marriage were on the rock. Now the critics discuss the reason why they separated from each other.

For me, Madonna just likes a legend. She always has special idea to lead the trend. I impressed that she used yoga to become part of her show in concert. It's always worth to attend her concert for the show often continued over two hours. And she has a big group of people to take care of everything to make the performance perfect. Unlike others only singing for CD's promotion, Madonna has lot of enthusiastic in performing. Even though she is about fifty years old, she is still the popular singer. Also, you can never judge her age from her outer beauty. She is in good condition. I think that's why she can stand in there so long and become the idle of worldwide.

Some people think that's exactly the reason that their relation broke up. Both take their career so seriously that they had less time to take care of their marriage. Also, the man was told that he feared his wife. Or maybe they always lived under spotlight, everything they did were be amplified. They had under large pressure to keep their relationship.

But I just think as long as they had their agreement, others should stop putting their necks in others business. Today's society is more advanced and everyone has their rights to choose what they want. The two characters in this story are adults and I am sure they can handle their life well.(311 words)

According to Fiona Ortiz in How safe is your city?, Mariano Pasik projected an odd scheme to test his city's security by placing bicycles on scattered areas. The bikes would be left alone without heavy locks but installed a hidden camera. In Pasik opinion, the longer it took for the blike to be stolen, the safer area it was.

When I browsed throug the news headline, it was be categorized as "oddly enough". It's very amusing to find that special idea. Something that maybe I still couldn't figure out the way they are thought in my whole life. Thanks them for adding spice in our daily life.

Instead of laughing, I still feel a little sad. In my first month at NCHU, I had already lost two bottles of water and a coat. More than half of reason was my careless. But I had tried hard to look for them from any of the lost and find that I know . And there is still no news.

From Pasik's attitude, the area where the bike be stolen quickly was the reflection of poor life quality. And he believed that the bicycle thefts on his camera commit the crime because of tempation. Somehow I felt unconsoled from my bad experience.(209 words)

According to Guardian in EU monitors begin patrols of Russian-held zone in Georgia.
EU had put pressure on Russia to withdraw their army in Georgia. But it's appeared that the Russia and the UK have yet to have the some opinions.

While large of people anticipated the approaching Beijing Olympic in August, the other side of the world had a war between Georgia and Russian. For most of us, we have no idea about what's going on. And after several months, this kind of blasting news will soon fade away from people's memory.

For me, I usually feel sentimental when hearing about the war news. Isn't there any method to stop this kind of brutal behavior? It's like we never able to live in harmony with each other. In my senior 2, my foreign teacher had played the movie, Hotel Rwanda. It's adapted by a true story which country got into a war because of oppositional race. Besides, my teacher also recorded some news reports at that time. So you could fellow a camera to a ruined church full thousands of corpses and some of them even became putrid. And all the reason is just because they were oppositional race. How can it make the motive rational?

It's the same condition to the war of Georgia and Russia. They both focus on their own interests. And so do it on other countries that why they stand out and call for "justice". At last, it always people that suffer. It's really ironic!

I hope the two countries can cease their fire as soon as possible and reduce the number of casualties to the minimum. (260 words)
