My vacation to Australia In the beginning of this month, I, with my family, have taken a trip to Australia and spent more than 10 days there. I should say that this land is deserved to be the most confortable place for living. Even in winter, it was not too cold to be outside, especially in Gold Coast. Comparing to Sydney, the most modern and developed city which is so smiliar to ShangHai, I prefer Gold Coast. Gold Coast is famous for its beach and surfing. its weather is good as well. So it's ordinary to see people surfing and swimming in the sea in winter. About the environment, it's more like a big park, with forrest and wild animals. there are so many crows and other birds there. In highway, it's not surprise to notice marks of caution about Koalas and Kangeroos, who may cross the road some time. the life there is simple and relax. I strongly recommend to visit Australia and I will go there when I have time and money.

this is a great place when i tried to help to correct someone's small essay written in Chinese, i could not stop laughing. it feel so funny .as a native speaker of Chinese, I can easily target the problems of wording\grammer\exppression. this would be the same when my essays are under correcting by natives. however, even with those mistakes, the communication between the authors and the readers is not blocked. i can clearly understand what the authors' idears are. this must be the magic of languages.

about urbanization Urbanization gives us a lot of convenience while brings a couple of problems. Recently, the authorities are considering the proposal of moving business activities out of downtown in order to solving traffic jams and residential problems. But it remains controversial. Advocates of urbanization believe that business is essential to the development of cities. It will attract more and more people from all over the world coming to the cities. Growing population means a large group of consumers. The demand of those consumers requires lager supply of all kinds of products. For business men, this is the opportunity they are dreaming of. Transactions increases, as well as taxes to the local authorities. With these taxes, authorities could implement their plans in improving the city environment and the welfare system. Therefore, people living here will enjoy more comfortable and convenient urban life. However, there are some disadvantages as well. In rush hours every weekdays, business men swarm into the CBD of cities, which causes traffic jams. Due to the sharply increasing population, the requirement of housing boosts. And that makes the price of apartments keep rising. It is clearly showed in many developed cities that the price of the central part of these cities is at a very high level, which an ordinary white collar can not afford. therefore, moving companies out of the CBD is a way to solve those problems. People can easily get their working place, saving time and traffic cost. based on the above discussion, moving business out or not is not an easy question to answer. It depends on what’s the core trouble when authorities are making their decision.

about charity Conducting charity is accepted by most of people. In general, there are two major choices, one is to provide direct support or help to neighbors who are suffering from poverty or disable, and another one is to donate money or used clothes to charitable organizations. I think both are helpful. As to the behavior of helping neighbors, because you have chances to figure out how the life of them are going on, and what they really need, you have options to provide the support to them more specifically. For instance, if the person you try to help is poverty, you could give him some money, something to eat, or provide him an opportunity to work based on his capability. In respect of donation, the charitable organizations will help more people in nationwide, even in worldwide. The money you donated may help children in poverty in your hometown, or may transfer to Africa for medical aid requirement. However, since you don’t know where is your money going, it’s hard to get the donation under monitored. This may cause corruptions, as reports have revealed that the officers of Chinese Red Cross put the money donated in their own pockets, or use it in their personal expenses. It is considerably harmful to the trust of such charitable organization. Therefore , Transparency is needed here.Despite the illegal conducts of employees of charitable organizations, in my opinion, they have done lots of things good to people who needed. To sum up, I think choosing one way or two as mentioned above depends on personal discretion. The most important thing is that you are doing right thing to help others out and finally make our world better than ever.

do you think watching Amercan TV shows can help us improving our English? As an English learner, in my opinion, it's useful. the reasons for my point are as followed: firstly, it's a way to know how native speakers communiate with each others. we call it the English Thinking. the more I learn English, the more I feel the culture differences between English and Chinese. in the same situation, Chinese and English may have completely unlike expressions. Second, we can learn how to use words, phrases and sentences. Although looking up the dictionary helps us to grab the meaning of single words or short phrases, it does not mean we could put them together in any cirmanstance. there are some tiny differences lying behind the surface meaning. therefore, I think it's helpful. forthermore, in order to make the shows helpful in your English learning, it requires some methods. for instance, watching the shows over and over again, find out the scripts of the show and learn them words by words, sentences by sentences, etc. right now, I'm experimenting the approaches as mentioned above.

Describe the information showed in the pic. The diagram shows how much time is spent on the unpaid work by married people for one week. The unpaid work includes babysitting, performing the chores, and so on. It is clear that married women take major responsibility of such work. And the more children they have , the more works is done by women. Without children, there are only 30 hours per week of the unpaid work for women. However, it increases dramatically when they have 1-2 children, to 50 hours per week. Then, when the 3rd or 4th children comes to the family, it keeps rising. As to the working hour of married men, it’s total different. No matter how many children they have , men spend no more than 20 hours per week. And there is even a slight decrease when they have more children. From the diagram, it can be figured out that the increase of the unpaid work is mainly resulted from the increase of the number of children in their family. And women are the devoted more time on the family than men.
