My last birthday

Usually, on my birthday I'm angry. When I was a little girl, I waited for this day with hope because I had a party, I was getting presents... and I wanted to grow quickly.
Today, I don't want to grow quickly, so I'm angry on my birthday.
My last birthday I was very angry, as always. I was thinking about how old I am and how I don't get ??? purposes.
I was watching TV, then, I received a surprise. Somebody gave to me a trip! It was fantastic.
The trip was a weekend, and I went to the beach next to my city. It was a fantastic weekend when I could relax, swim and go out at night.
I thought that to be older isn't so bad! On my next birthday, I would like to be happy, I will try!

overconsumption

Wasting has been one of undesirable issues in modern society. A multitude of products are thrown away directly, even though they still have to use, such as unconsumed food and unworn clothes.  as a consequence, this is a  waste of resources. Thus, it is important to understand why this throw-away phenomenon has happened and how to reverse this trend.

As far as I know, the throw-away situation is not  due to one single factor, but to a combination of reasons. The primary explanation is the improvement of living standards. Compared with the time when people expressed concern about food, the period we live now is so thriving that people pay more attention to their sense of satisfaction. As a result, there are some people who discard things merely owing to their mood, without considering our environment. A second reason why people ditch useful things, especially clothes, is the impact of fashion orientation. A majority of fashion sectors encourage people to refresh their wardrobes frequently, meaning that old clothes are seldom or even would not be worn any more.

After analysing reasons for the waste problem, i put forward following suggestions. For one thing, we should develop  an advisable consumption concept, choosing suitable commodities rather than just going with the flow. For example, make a shopping-list before we purchase. sort out our wardrobe periodically to address what we really need. Besides, at the corporate levels, we should raise people's awareness of reasonable shopping and motivate them to think about our earth and negative impact of overconsumption. For those influential people especially those who are active in the field of fashion, they are recommended to set a positive example for the public, since more people may potentially be affected by them.

In summary, overconsumption is attributed to the wrong shopping concept. If the measures mentioned above are carried out fully, the throw-away issue could be improved.

NIGHT SCHOOL FILM REVIEW

From my point of view, Night School is a comedy film directed by Malcom D. Lee. The story takes place in United States.

The main character, Teddy Walker, is performed by Kevin Hart. In 2001, he was a high school student and he drops out of school when he finds himself unable to concertraate during a crucial test. Years later, in 2018, he works as a barbecue grill salesman while dating a wealthy woman named Lisa. As the boss  of the barbecue grill is going to retire, Teddy is going to be the boss. To celebrate this news he proposes to Lisa in the shop, but Teddy accidentally triggers an explosion.

Now he is jobless and Marvin, his best friend, tells him that he could get a job at his financial investment firm, but he would need the GED. So Teddy goes to his old high school to get the GED but for that he has to go to night classes and pass the exam. In this class is very different and special person, His teacher.  She discovers that Teddy has difficulties in learning.

In conclusion, I believe that Night School is a very funny film but at the same time it shows a common learning problem nowadays. This film has received many criticism by parents saying that this film isn't appropriate for children.

A tale for my daughter

Hi everyone!
I am here today to ask you a small question. I have a daughter. She is 2 years and 7 months old. Recently she began to ask me (or my wife) to tell her a story. It happens mostly at bedtime.
Could anyone give me a link to a site where I can find something for my daughter? I assume it should have short and simple stories for children my daughter's age. For example,  "The Princess and the Pea" is slightly difficult for her, she does not  understand some of the words (to marry, wedding, mattress and so on)
What stories do you tell your children before they go to bed )?

I am going to go buy something to eat. I'm going to get some pizza. Who wants some?
