Friend If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas. Everyone knows that human characters are contagious and it’s important to find some helpful friends. What’s the most important character of a friend? I personally value the honesty over others. Western people say truth is a hard pill to swallow. There is a similar idiom in Chinese: faithful words offend ears, good medicine tastes bitter. (Chinese medicine is made from herb and often unpalatable.) Likewise, an honest friend will always encourage you to face your shortcoming instead of flattery no matter how the truth will hurt. When you are prosperous, the friend keeps silent beside you as others crowd around you; whey you are frustrated, he gives you a hand timely as others melt away. Unfortunately, honest friends are always as rare as diamonds on the earth.

Teacher "Plato is dear, but dearer still is truth”. Today we are unable to count how many of pieces of truth that Plato imparted to Aristotle, but the words above tell us Plato opened a door of pursuing truth for him. Teacher is more than the one who stands in the classroom. In our daily life, those all who can inspire you to think play a better role of teacher. As a Chinese saying goes, give a man a fish, he can live a day; teach a man how to fish, he can live for a life. Jeff is such a person who likes teaching fishing rather giving a fish. He instructs me not only how to write in English, but also how to make it beautiful. Once I planned to write an essay in a mechanical pattern, Jeff bluntly refuted my point because he sincerely hopes I can make the job better through his extra push. Now I set up an ultimate ideal for myself that is making writing into an elegant art rather than a stiff tool.

In twenty years, there will be fewer cars are in use than there are today. Topic: In twenty years, there will be fewer cars are in use than there are today. No one can neglect the contribution of cars in people’s life in 20th century. However, I think cars face the problem to be reduced in the next 20 years just because we overuse them today. First, in past half century, crude oil exploitation is dramatically grown which makes the energy crisis concerning all facilities which cost fuel. Car takes a considerable part of using fuel. Nowadays people are pursuing to find other substitute for gas. however, we find that it's hard to make it efficient and economic because of limited technology. Since it's a long period to develop applicable gas substitute, we think reducing cars and using bicycles and taking public transportation such as buses and trains could be a temporary replacement because there is less cost of fuel per capita when people take public transportation, comparing with individual cars. Second, fewer cars can urge a greener earth since environmental pollution is seen as a worldwide topic. Scientists predict that the sea level would rise over one meter after fifty years and a series of cities on the seashore could be immerged in one hundred years due to greenhouse effect which is caused by excessive emission of carbon dioxides. To solve this problem, we must limit the quantities of cars whose exhaust gas ranks second place in omission of greenhouse gas, right after industrial exhaust. Lastly, cars are initially used to server people's lives, but we can observe that you would hardly reach your destination on time by a car if you live in a megapolis. Traffic problem is negatively influence our lives indeed. If you read news, then you find how people deal with this issue. For example, people in London pay an extra while they are entering in the center by car. How is the situation in Beijing? The answer is your car can drive only the day of even numbers or uneven. What's more, ninety percent of people in Tokyo take subway to their offices and leave their cars at home. Thus, I assert that cars will be fewer, and public transportation will develop fast instead. To sum up, I confidently believe cars are gradually becoming fewer in twenty years than today because the problems of energy crisis, environment pollution and traffic jam.

my favorite sport: swimming I am a very sportive guy, and you can always find me in basket ball gyms, at tennis courts or fitness centers. However, my favorite sport is swimming. And there are a couple of reasons to name. To begin with, swimming is a high-efficient cardio to strengthen muscle and reduce fat simultaneously. With a strong and healthy stature I feel confident every day. Moreover, I love the feeling while touching water. I’m sure each of my nerve cells is enjoying relax when my body immerges in the water. Someone told me that a person is re-experiencing the sensation before birth when s/he is swimming. So I guess maybe I used to be a good swimmer before birth.
