Michael Jackson: A kind-hearted person
When it comes to Michael Jackson, what will come to your mind first？He was a super star, an actor, a dancer, or a singer? For me, the answer is: he was a kind–hearted person who was so devoted to making our world a better place throughout his life. Michael Jackson is usually remembered as a great entertainer and he did contribute a lot to the world of entertainment. However, we might easily neglect his contribution to the world of charity as a humanitarian and charitarian, which was no less than his contribution to singing and dancing.
As a celebrity, Michael Jackson made full use of his public influence to spread the idea of love and peace. Believing that music has the magical power to make an impact on people's mind, he wrote many songs to encourage people to make our world a better place. For example, he wrote We Are the World to help the starving people in Africa, he wrote Earth Song to draw people’s attention to environmental protection, he wrote What More Can I Give right after 911 attacks to call on people to donate money… He wrote countless affectionate songs like these in an effort to make our world a better place.
Apart from his songs, Michael Jackson also told us to make our world a better place by addressing speeches and writing essays. For example, In his 2001 Oxford speech, he portrayed an image of his miserable childhood to show the necessity of caring more about our children and family, which affected and motivated a lot of people. In his essay But the Heart Say No, his profound understanding of our society aroused a heated discussion about disadvantage groups at that time. From his speeches and essays, we can learn something new from his thoughts and make our world a better place under the influence of him.
Not only did Michael Jackson tell us so, but also he did so. He put his idea of making the world a better place into practice in many ways, rather than only paying lip service like some of the celebrities. From 1970 to 2009, Michael Jackson kept wearing an armband almost in all of his shows. His armband had a symbolic meaning: Remembering all the children that are suffering around the world. Also, according to Guinness World Records, Michael Jackson supported more charitable organizations than any other artist in the world.
Michael Jackson was such a kind-hearted person with kind thoughts, kind words, and kind deeds.

My Plan for the holiday break
My Plan for the holiday break
As National Holiday is coming，I will have a 7-day break since Thursday. I have been very busy since September, so this will be a great chance for me to relax and do something I have already wanted to do. I’m going to write down all of the things I want to do here——I’m not going to miss any of them in my holiday!
The first thing to do is, of course, to go home. My home is far away from my university and I have been suffering a great deal from homesick, I can’t wait to go home! Once I arrive home, I will find everything is so perfect: my mom will treat me with a delicious meal, my sisters are waiting for me to hang out with them, my brothers are going to play sports with me… My family is big and warm, and I’m going to spend a lot of time with my family.
Also, I’m going to do some shopping with my friends. It’s indisputable that going shopping is part of every girl’s nature. I like shopping very much. This is not to say that I have a lot of money to spend, I just simply enjoy seeing a lot of delicate things and sophisticate gadgets. In addition, since it’s National Holiday, maybe I will get a nice discount after bargaining with the shopkeeper. So shopping is definitely on the list!
In the past few weeks I have been busy studying, this has driven me crazy. I seldom have time to do some reading or enjoy a good movie. How can I let go of any good movie or good book when I have such a long holiday? I’m going to watch Lost in Hong Kong, which is going to be on screen by November 1st. Also, nothing can stop me from reading Bai Shuo (a famous book by Yansong Bai). A holiday without books and movies is not a holiday for me!
As a foodie, I can’t resist food and drinks. I’m going to a new restaurant in my block and enjoy some different food there. On Monday, my brother will be back from Canada, He will bring me 3 bottles of ice wine as he promised. I will enjoy the ice wine with my brother and eat a lot of snacks (we both like snacks very much).
Last but not least, the most important task for me is to finish the Homework for National Holiday. I have a lot of Homework for this week, so spending a lot of time on my homework will certainly be an unforgettable experience in my wonderful holiday.

A letter to myself —— My Goals for this semester
Dear Sarah,
How have you been? This is your second year in university, but I don’t think everything is going well. Due to a lot of reasons, you didn’t study well in the first year, and your English wasn’t improving at all. You know you can’t go on like this. In order to make a change, it’s time that you should set up some goals for this semester.
I know you have always wanted to be a journalist in China Daily, so that means you will need to be excellent in both English and Chinese, and your writing skills must be impressive, otherwise no one is going to hire you. So your first goal for this semester is to make yourself a better writer! To achieve this, you have enrolled in a writing course taught by Taylor. In this course, you will try to acquire as many writing skills as you can, try writing articles of different genres, and start to establish your own writing style. Through your hard work and Taylor’s patient instruction, I think you will make yourself a qualified writer and thus make it easier for you to get your dream job. However, only some improvements in writing are apparently not enough. As I mentioned before, a good command of English and Chinese will also be what it takes to become a journalist in China Daily, because you will have to do a lot of translation works between English and Chinese. So here comes your second goal, to become a better translator. To achieve this, you will do more reading and writing in both Chinese and English. Of course, a huge amount of translation practice is a must.
You will surely become who you wanted to be if you keep working hard! Don’t give up!
Sincerely,
Sarah

Hola mis amigos!
Hoy es domingo. Hace buen día. Estudio español casi todos los días. Me gusta estudiar español, por que me parece que español es bonito.
Por la mañana, tomo un huevo y bebo un vaso de leche. Sé que si no come, no voy a tener buena salud.
Por la tarde, paseo por las llaves y voy de compars. Los zapatos son muy barato pero de buen calidad. ¡Me gusto mucho!
Por la noche, estudio español y repaso mi espanñol lecciones.
Estudio un "sentence"(I don´t know how to say) "abrillo, abajo, el centro, para dentro",es muy interesante.

My English
My spoken English is not so good. I can tell from many situations. When I am about to express myself, sometimes I can't find the right words. Therefore, people may not understand what I am talking about. But I guess it's okay when I speak English slower.
My writen English needs improving too. I can't help but keep using simple volcabulary and expressions. That might get me a lower socre on composition. Sometimes that bothers me. Is it because I haven't done enough writing practice? Recently, I feel it more and more important to focus on the language "output". I have read a lot of English materials, but it did not help. It's true that I can learn a lot of new words when I am reading those materials, but since I don't use them very often, I guess I will forget them sooner or later. So should I review them more frequently.
This is my little review on my English studying.
I hope every one has a good weekend :)

I‘m starting an English Chinese wechat group, any one wanna join?
Hello everyone, My name is Sarah, I'm a university student from China.
Recently I am considering to start an English Chinese wechat group, English speakers and Chinese speakers can join the group and help each other learn Englsih or Chinese!
I think start a wechat group is an excellent choice,because on wechat you can both send voice message or text,so every one can speak and type, that's good for improving your language skill.
In the group, you can discuss questions, share your language learning experience, make friends with different people etc.
Anyone who are interested please reply the topic and send me a message tell me your wechat ID so that I can invite you in!

An article on Smart phone
As smart phone industry is springing up all over the world, more and more people nowadays are complaining of the bad changes it brought about on our daily lives. They condemn that smart phones are taking over in people’s spare time. It’s harder and harder to tear people away from their phone screens though there is obviously no good in playing with them all day long. When people’s eyes are tied down on the gossip or scandals on phones, they are actually receiving a large amount of information that they have no use for. Disadvantages like this convince many people of the harm in smart phone.
However, some people think they have just overlooked the huge convenience that smart phone has brought us. For want of a smart phone, one cannot even deal in his affairs online, not to mention flinging himself into his career in this fast-paced society. It is smart phone that goes with today’s fast-paced society and give rise to the economic growth. People who tend to stop the use of smart phones will be disillusioned and their objective voices will ebb away before long. It will also give them quite a start that the use of smart phones will make a better society out of today’s. The development of smart phone will not let up though there are some different voices.
