What my college life brought me Now I am studying law in ECUPL in Shanghai and I am in the third year of school. Here I want to say something about what I have got from my university. When I was a freshman, I didnot have a clear view of my life. I joint many different clubs but quitted most of them later on(when I was in the second year) because I found I was not that keen. With time passing by, I changed a lot, Not only in hobbies and tastes but about my views of life. Now I had a deeper degree of self-knowledge and found my real interests which I think I would keep for lifelong, such as music, ballet, reading, traveling and so on. Of course, my preference towards music or books might change in the future, whereas my passion on them would not decrease. Also, I have made many excellent friends in college. Some share the same hobbies with me and some help me a lot and some are always there with me whenever I meet trouble. And it is worth mentioning that I made a couple of bosom friends. We share the similar values of life and have a similar attitude towards basic things, Which I consider the most essential factor in a long-term and mutually beneficial friendship. I better know what kind of life I desire. I love changes and challeges and I would love to try more new things later in my life. For me, I'm really not afraid of failure or making any mistakes. What I hate is having no courage to persuing what I want. So to finalize, I really appreciate my college not in that it taught me knowledge in law but for what it helped me in the way I think.

Will increasing the price of petrol be a best answer to solve the traffic and pollution problems? Nowadays, there are more and more traffic congestion and air pollution over the world, in particular, in big cities. People are paying more attention to those growing problems and some think raising the price of petrol is the best way to solve them. But I hold a negative attitude towards it. It is true that less people would buy cars if the price of petrol increased, whereas is it a long-term and effective measure to control the increasing number of cars? My answer is no. The most essential factor of growing traffic and pollution problems is a high level of people’s demands for cars. It is widely acknowledged that in modern society people from all walks of life rely heavily on private cars. Wherever they go and whatever they do, cars could always be reliable and helpful partners of them. Thus, even if petrol price was on an upward trend, people would buy them sooner or later as long as they feel cars are a must. However, that doesnot mean it is inevitable to see traffic condition getting worse as well as air pollution. We indeed can do something to help improve those troublesome issues. Responsibilities should be shared between governments, business, civil society and every individuals. Governments are supposed to promote infrastructure construction, for instance, to broaden the road. Besides, Those who break traffic rules should be punished strictly. Thus less accidents would happen. Also, innovation is encouraged in car-making companies. Cars in the future are expected to be more eco-friendly, which will undoubtedly improve our poor air condition in a sustainable way. So to finalize, I think the future is not like a fate that you have to just go as business as usual goes. We need to have the courage to actually change the route. And there is no single way to solve problems. All ways should work together to fight for our common lovely living environment.

'people have always responded to climate change' what does it mean? as the title, thank you :)

How to say '头像' in English I mean, the photo you show on skype, Wechat or any other website profile photo? just cannot find an accurate phrase to say : P

My Attitude Towards Endangered Languages It is inevitable that more and more languages in the world will disappear and we are now at the risk of decreasing lingual diversity. However, some people think it doesn’t matter because without difficulty in learning new languages there will be less barrier for people from all over the world communicate with each other and thus life will be easier. I agree with this opinion to some extent but I think its disadvantage outweigh its advantage. With the popularity of English, people from different places and with different cultures can easily communicate and exchange thoughts and ideas. It is true that the world are more united than ever before, with more cooperation and coordination. It is undoubtedly promoting trade and development of science and technology. And it is seemingly not so important whether some certain small languages would disappear or not. The world will still run smoothly and social order won’t change as well. But just assuming that many distinctive language die out one day, how will our world become? Some valuable culture identity will die with its language and culture diversity will shrink. There will be less distinctive characteristics which lie in different part of the world. Also, some great artists will find it harder to create since many of them draw inspiration from certain civilizations, most of which are folk and little exposed to the public. Thus, we cannot ignore those endangered languages merely because they are not popular and practical. They do have their own value and they are contributing to culture diversity all the time, in a less-renowned way.
