What kinds of photographs do you like better? What kinds of photos do you like better, black-and-white or colorful?As far as I'm concerned, black-and-white pictures feature tradition, while color signifies modernity. Specifically, the former can display a unique picture in a historical perspective, which are really attractive. On the other hand, however, they sometimes make me feel dark and depressive, though the figures in them look happy and peaceful. As for chromophotographs, they usually generate strong visual impact full of emotions, which are mostly appreciated by young people. Because their life is filled with passion, energy, optimism and all other positive emotions. But I always feel a little noisy and vulgar about a picture full of color. Personally, black-and-white photos are still my favorite. PS: What's the difference between picture and photo (photograph)? How do you distinguish kid, baby, child, infant, teen, teenager, youngster, young people…?

A Terrible Day I've been so busy these days, and I'm happy that I have time to write on italki finally. But we just had a meeting whose contents was that some Officials from the Ministry of Education would inspect our university next week. So we students will not be allowed to stay in dormitories in order to keep the room clean and tidy. Originally, the Internet in dormitories is unstable and extremely slow, and now we even don't have that! It sucks! One more question which may sound offensive. I hope you guys don't mind. Is the word "suck" bad language? I know that the words starting with "f" and "sh" are extremely rude, so I never use them. But how about "suck" and "hell"? I mean, I heard them be used by many people. Do they sound a little better than those two words? I hope my question didn't offend you. If it did, I'm sincerely sorry about this! Anyway, please revise my essay. Thank you in advance!

Don't stay up Staying up is really really harmful to your health, and it may also cause neurasthenia, cardiovascular diseases and even cancers. I heard about so many instances that young people dropped dead just on the job. It's alarming but real. So, go to bed immediately before 10:30pm, though I'm still awake at 23:21 now……

An Interesting Question My favorate color is purple and I like eating eggplants best. So there is always someone asking me: do you like purple because of eggplants or like eating eggplants because of purple? I have no idea… And I have to admit that it's just like a chicken-and-egg situation.

What a happy day! Do you guys know anything about the Single's Day(11.11) in China? It's a crazy shopping day, especially shopping online! So there is no doubt that I bought a lot of things from Taobao(an online shopping website created by Jack Ma). And today I received two parcels, one of which is about different kinds of stationeries. I have been addicted to this hobby for a few weeks. And my favorite brands are Japanese Pilot, Plus, Kokuyo, Bimoji and Mitsubishi and German Staedtler and Schneider. Do you guys know some great stationeries?
