To begin with, I want introduce a famous person, Bill Gates. As the richest man in the world, he is head of Microsoft which gives us a lot of amazing soft. However, people take delight in talking about his education background. He is a dropout student. Nevertheless, he can be successful without whole advanced education. Nowadays, 60% American people have the bachelor degree or higher degree. So there is a debated topic if university education has relationship with successful career. So in a word for my topic is that “is it university education necessary to people who want to be successful.
When it comes to the cigarette, different people have different attitudes on that. Some people seem it as an amazing pleasure since it can stimulate the nerve and make them feel good.

I got my first computer when I was 12-years-old. You can imagine how I was existed at that time. Although I can’t remember the first thing I did, I just known that I was watching the screen and moving the mouse for a long time.
Now, let me introduce my first friend. “She” has a white clothe and a beautiful face. Her brain, operating system, is windows 98 which is slowly or shut down sometimes. I also liked the noisy from her stomach, main board, when she is working. For nowadays, you can find out many her mistakes; however, she is my first one which gave me lots of fun. What is more, I used it to play many kinds of games, watch movie, and listen to music, which thought as very cool and interesting things for that time. I had been using it since I got a new computer at my 15-years-old. Although it has a good appearance and a better device, it was hard to find the feeling the first computer gave to me.
Although it is not first time to write this kind of essay for me, I never write a paper that has more than 400 words. I spent really a lot of time to complete my first essay. In fact, I wrote it by several times. To begin with, since Steve required us to get an introduction that started from specific things to general ideas, moreover, the topic is too general to make some specific stories; thus, it spent me lot of time. Fortunately, I easily came up with three ideas which are coherent to my topic. However, every paragraph’s supporting details also was hard to come out. Finally, I finished my assignment that likes making up a robot. Although I got a poor score due to so many mistakes on my grammar and vocabulary, I was not disappointed by this; after all, I already known my shortcomings. If I could improve it, that will be better.

“It is common in United States” this is the phrase from an American girl when we talk about her family structure. She is one of fifteen people at church, who participated in my survey on American family several weeks ago. Also, she told me that her boyfriend has the similar family background: that of a divorced family. After this survey, I searched on the internet to find out the information about this. The result is amazing to me that in some Chinese cities almost 40% of families ended with divorce, there are also some places with high divorce rate in United States. Although this is not a new phenomenon covered all over the world; nowadays, with social development, rising divorce rate has caused society pay more attention to divorce again. As far as I am concerned, the causes of rising divorce rate are so many, ranged from big important issues to some trivial things. Generally, rising divorce rate has resulted from both social and personal factors.
The primary thing to cause rising divorce rate is increased misunderstanding between couple. With the development of society, there is a dramatic change on the individual sense of value. People are willing to receive new things instead of being conservative as before, such as marriage. As a result, young couple falls in love quickly and so does as get married. In fact, they didn’t understand each other, gradually; the block is formed between both sides. Thus, this family is likely to end with divorce. The famous singer Britney is an obvious example about “quickly family”. We usually see the news reported that she made divorce with her husband who just got married with her only three mouths ago.
Anther aspect to cause rising divorce is more and more pressure from society. Dramatic social development means increased competition. People pay all attention to their work in order to avoid to be eliminated through competition; however, they ignore the relationship in the family. Couple with whole day hard work might go to bed as soon as come back home. Nobody would like to cook the meal; nobody is willing to clean the house; even if nobody says a word about taking care for the other. Both don’t want to be responsible for housework which is required in a family because they are too tired on both spirit and physically. Furthermore, couple usually has a terrific domestic row due to a senseless trivia. They are supposed to find a way to release their bother form the work; unfortunately, there are some quarrels which result in the division of affection in the end.
Nowadays, making divorce is not complicated process. The reason caused divorce is more and more simple, even just a little quarrel. However, there is not easily to resume the formerly family by several sentences. I don’t know if all the couples decided to divorce before long time thinking. In fact, the effect of rising divorce rate to society is serious, as soon as there is big influence on the children of the divorce family.

This weekend I paid more attention on my reading logs, which you should jot down the summary and response after reading a title on the newspaper or website. Actually, I never met this kind of assignment. Then I began to search online, there were lots of news on the web, but they all looked like too hard to me for a digest. Finally, I found a title introducing a luxury apartment. It was not too hard, even if there were some new word for me. I picked up the main point of every parts of this news as my summary. Of course, I used some transitional signal to connect the each sentences.Second, it turned to response. I thought a lot about it; however, When I finished the several sentences, I found there are all simple sentence such as the sentence started with “it” “there” “he, she or it”. It make the paragraph haven’t structure and looks unshapely. But when I jot down all idea I thought by many compound sentences. there would have sentence expressing unclearly idea. I was confusing about if I write simple sentence or compound sentence on my paper. Besides, I need focus on the grammar and verb tense. So, I think I need more practice.

My name is Liu Geng, from china. You can tell me Robert as well.
I was born in Fuyang, Anhui province, on January 18th, 1989. My mother told me that I was quite a lively boy during my childhood; I have few memories before I was 6 years old. The only impression is going to the park near my home with my friend. Gradually, I was growing up, so I began to remember some things. Like every Chinese child, I came to school in the morning and return home at night every day. Although we have less free time to play at school, I understand how to arrange time to play and study. Furthermore, I made a lot of friends at school; we talked each other and played together. It made the school life interesting and impressive to me.
Now, I talked about my personality and feature. Everyone has merits and disadvantages, including me. I think my most important merit is trustworthy. While I promise something to somebody I will try my best to do that. In some cases, I will make a surprise to my friend when I already help him to be done some things. So I am so-called funny person or humorous person. I always make some simple things become interesting in order to hold a happy ambience. Also, I am willing to help and communicate with others. Maybe that is why I have so many friends in
China. In general, I use logical way to analyze things. But it doesn’t mean that I am not an emotional person. Sometimes, I would be affected by some little boring things. So my future goal is to have a more rational ideation.
