Which Would You Give Up: the TV, the Cell Phone, or the Web?
We are now living in an information explosion age. The TV, the cell phone and the web are widely used. In other words, we almost can't live without one of them. Furthermore, lives would be too boring without any one of them.
Yet, if I had to give up one of them, I would give up the TV rather than put away my cell phone or switch off the Internet. The first reason is that the Internet is so developed now that we can watch almost every TV program on the Internet. Many TV programs from other countries that we can't find in our TV can also be found on the Internet. The second reason is that I have to keep on touch with my friends and family, and almost all information can be searched out on the Internet. Because of this, we can see that cell phones and the web are important particularly.
Those who are opposed to the proposal may maintain that if we don't give up using the web, we may spend too much time on it and neglect our lessons. I adamantly oppose this idea, because we can get as much information through the Internet as we want. As for the problem of using the web overtime, here is a solution that can improve it. We can set a time limit for using the Internet. After the time, just set up the machine to cut off the Internet so that we don't play overtime.
In conclusion, because almost all the functions of the TV have been replaced by the web, the TV would be the first thing that I would give up.

The Person That Influences Me Most
During my life I have met a lot of people and everyone of them have influenced me. Some of those influences were very positive while some weren't. However, I feel very appreciate to all of them because they help me grow up and become who I am now.
The math teacher in the cram school I went to during my junior high school life was the person that influences me most. She was a middle-aged woman with curly long hair. She had a kind face with a few wrinkles while she was smiling. She was smiling all the time. These are her appearances, but isn't the prime reason why she is so authoritative to me.
First, when I had troubles, she always encouraged me to do my best, she used to say, "It doesn't matter if you win or not. The most important thing is to do your best and keep going." Her words always cheered me up and gave me lots of power whenever I felt down in the dumps. Second, she changed my attitude in studying. I can still remember that I wasn't a hard-working student in elementary school so that I didn't win any prize when I graduated from elementary school. Nevertheless, her encouragement made my studies more and more progress. I will never forget the changing in the learning attitude. She plays an important role in my life. She usually stood on my side, supporting me again and again. Now I can tell everyone that I'm not able to study in ASHS without her influences on me!

My Wish
When I was a girl in a primary school, I always wished that I could be a teacher just like my teacher then. The teacher was my idol at that time because she was so kind and so patient when she was teaching us. I wanted to be a teacher that was as amiable as her.
When I grew older as a junior high school student, I wished to be a pianist because I enjoyed playing the piano very much, but my parents said, "If you have your own family in the future, being a pianist couldn't afford all the maintenance of the family." After talking with my parents, I decided to think playing the piano as a hobby instead of an occupation.
Nowadays, I have a wish of being a doctor, because I want to help the people who are ill. I know this is very difficult to make this dream come true, but I am willing to try my best and try to increase my ability.

The Difficulties I Have with Learning English
In Taiwan, English is the most popular foreign language that everyone must learn since he or she was an elementary school student. The most common difficulty Taiwanese students have with learning English is speaking. Most Taiwanese students feel very nervous and shy while communicating with others in English.
For me, however, I don't have much problem in speaking English, because I started to learn English in kindergarten. Also, I have met many foreign teachers during my school life, so I have many chances to speak English with others. The greatest difficulty of mine is the problem of vocabulary. I've found that I can hardly keep a new word for a long time; instead, I easily forget it. This difficulty causes a big problem while I am writing an essay. That is, while I am writing, I can't think of more difficult words; thus, I always write an essay with "baby words."
In order to solve this problem, I train myself by paying more attention to memorizing vocabularies, and reading more articles. For example, I read a magazine called Reader's Digest periodically. I must try my best to overcome this trouble and improve my English ability!

My Favorite Season
Many people love spring and fall, but my favorite season is winter for several reasons as follows.
First of all, it isn't like summer that makes me feel uncomfortable and sweat so much. Second, I am very afraid of heat, and I DON'T like heat. Third, I like the feeling of cold in winter, because it makes me want to get close to others to get warm. On the other hand, I would not like to get too close to others in the summer. If it is possible, I would like to live in high-latitude countries, such as the USA or Canada, because I am not afraid of cold, I even feel comfortable with it.
I like the holidays in winter, too, like Christmas! Christmas is a holiday when the whole family gets together. It's a holiday full of love. On Christmas Eve, we have dinner all together. It's just a great holiday for families. The best parts of Christmas are presents and Christmas trees. Different from most of the Eastern families, my family put a Christmas tree in our home. We decorate the Christmas tree together and we have a lot of fun.
For all the reasons above, winter is my favorite season.
