We had a good session, but unfortunately, it was quite difficult to hear each other - it seems the internet is working against us. Oh well. =\

- Les services écosystémiques Les services écosystémiques (SE) sont définis comme étant les bénéfices que les êtres humains tirent du fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Les activités humaines entraînent des changements les fonctions écologiques, ensuite, altère le prélèvement des services écosystémiques. La Chine jouit d’une croissance économique dynamique depuis l’adoption de réformes et l’ouverture du pays au monde extérieur en 1978. Ainsi, les critiques adressées à ces réformes économiques notent que ces réformes ont créé de la dégradation de l’environnement écologique. Visant à améliorer l’environnement écologique, la Chine possède les programmes de restauration écologique, inclut le Programme de Grain pour le Vert et le Programme de Protection des Forêts Naturelles depuis l’an 2000. Ces deux programmes, considérés comme étant la plus grande programme de restauration écologique, visent à rétablir la structure et la fonction écologiques, qu’offre l’occasion de l’opportunité et la critique.July 6, 201541
- public health It is true that folks have paid much attention to their health. What measures should be taken to enhance public health has become a hot issue as well. As for me, I tend to believe that public health should be mainly improved by providing sports facilities and developing healthy diets. First of all, increasing sports facilities can provide more options for the public to participate in sport, health and fitness at whatever level they choose, and they can provide professional exercise as well. For example, spinning can help to enhance heart rate and tone up without building many muscles. Even, some people regard it as a mood enhancer when they are upset by someone. In terms of healthy diet, I think it is one that helps maintain or improve general health. Specifically, it is important for lowering many chronic health risks such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. A healthy diet involves consuming appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients and an adequate amount of water, and need to have a balance of fats, proteins and vitamins to support energy need. Thus, promoting a healthy diet should become the mainly step to improve public health. However, it is not to say that other measures should be prohibited. For example, the authorities should strictly control the food safety, including checking preservative and additive in the food processing, which is essential for improving public healthy. In summary, I think increasing sports facilities and facilitating healthy diets can become the mainly steps to boost public health. Other steps should be advocated by the government as well.February 4, 201311
a man with ambition and self-confidence is much easier to achieve his target and success?
To a large extent, I tend to agree with this view.
When it comes to ambitionsous, a person with this trait typically possesses the independence, sophistication, assertiveness and aspires to accomplish his desires. Specifically, when you decide to set up several goals in your lives, you will certainly know in which direction you want to go. It is very important to do the right thing at the right time, and to do the thing that is right for you.
In terms of self-confidence, it is often a more important asset than skill, knowledge, or even experience (I have to say skills and experiences are the foundation of self-confidence). When you are self-confidence, you experience feelings of trust and certainty in your own understanding and abilities. A lack of self-confidence, on the other hand, can cause you to experience feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and even fear in the face of some situations and circumstances. For example, when you go for the job interview, although your credentials may be impressive, if your body language or demeanor gives any indication of uncertainty, the interviewer will pick up on that because on some level your doubt will become their doubt. So the job goes to the one that can instill confidence in others.0 votedDecember 28, 20120- a man with ambition and self-confidence is much easier to achieve his target and success?

- Hustle and bustle urban life To a large extent, I tend to believe that the hustle and bustle city life triggers many problems. To start with, the pace of life in big cities is stressful and fast. Specifically, many people lived in the city have became tremendously busy, and they devote themselves to working. Thus, most of them are under big pressure with their work or study. Living in chronic stress and anxiety causes stress-induced diseases such as insomnia, headache, and fatigue. Secondly, the accelerating pace of life in big cities creates alienation between people. For example, there is no sense of community. Moreover, modern technology has made individuals overly dependently on it, which has led more sedentary lifestyle and less face-to-face communication with their friends and families.December 27, 201231
- food miles Obviously, all the foods coming from the local market would promote the development of local economy. The household income would be rising as well. Also, Local food is, simply, food produced for local and regional consumption. For that reason, 'food miles' are relatively small, which greatly reduces fuel use and environmental pollution. What is more, Local food is usually far fresher; therefore, it is more nutritious than long-distance food. It also needs fewer preservatives or other additives. However, goods resulting from the imports will result in lower domestic prices for consumers, just as a large amount of foods swarm into the local market. Thus, consumers are the main beneficiary of import foods. Apart from lower price, people have more options. Before airplane came in the middle 20 century, for example, long-distance foods are beyond the reach for many countries. People living in the north China cannot enjoy fresh vegetables and fruits during the harsh and friendless winter, but now, the citizens can buy everything they want because of the long-distance transport. In brief, import foods make people’s lives not only more convenient but also economic.December 26, 201221
