Memorable experience while recycling
The most memorable experience I have had while recycling was when I first moved in.
To give you a more detailed account... At that time, I didn’t know where the recycling area in my apartment building was located. I just wandered around the apartment complex, holding the recycling bag. Luckily, I ran into a neighbor who was carrying garbage bags and I followed her without her noticing. Finally, I got to the area and threw them out, acting natural because I didn’t want her to notice that I had been wandering.
I was ashamed, but it’s funny now that I think of it.0 votedJune 10, 20171- Design Museum Aujourd’hui je suis allée a la Design Museum à Londres. C’est un musée qui montre les artefacts plus importants à l’histoire de dessin. L’exhibition été au sujet de Californie et présenté les objets comme l’iPhone (bien sûr) et Google Glass. J’étais ravis de voir un area dédié a les femmes dans l’industrie mais j’étais surpris par le nombreux des images politiques. Par exemple, il y avait un vidéo qui a examiné les raisons des mortes dans l’Etats Unis de l’année passé et incroyablement, il y avait seulement deux incidents causait par les terroristes et des milliers plus par les crimes pistolets. De façon intéressante cette exhibition était très interactive – avec les iPads, les lunettes 3D etc. Je me demande si c’est le futur des musées… J’ai vu pour le premier fois, un imprimante 3D – c’est vraiment lent ! Je ne peut pas envisager en utilisant dans la maison. Il n’y a pas beaucoup des personnes qui fabrique des produits avec les méthodes traditionnelles (woodwork en anglais), alors pour quoi tout le monde deviendrait fabricants avec cette nouvelle technologie ? Ce n’est pas bon marché.June 9, 201710
TOEFL writing practice 140111 NA:
140111 NA: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Professional athletes or performers shouldn’t be involved in politics.
Disagree:
As there are more and more athletes and performers currently have entered in entering the political field, there comes an enduring controversy: should athletes or performers be involved in politics? Admittedly, sports, entertainments and politics are totally different fields, however, I still hold a positive attitude while others are strongly against the idea. There are several reasons outlined below.
Firstly, one person could have an interest and expertise in many areas, which means these athletes or performers might not only be good at sports or acting, but managing the country or state as well. For example, I was an architect but I was also interested in philosophy and economics so I took my MBA lessons after several years working for an architectural design company. And nNow I am involved in the city management at a government office. So people anyone including athletes and performers could have multiple careers, there is no need to question their ability if they really have political talent.
Secondly, those who are professional in something might create better legislative policy for that field if they are put in a position of power. In other words, a pure politician might not understand what people want in a specific area, so they might not act in the people's best interests. Deng Yaping, the former champion of tennis in China, is a good example. She was elected to be the president of Chinese sports committee after she retired from her tennis career, and she knew what is the bottleneck of Chinese sports and how to encourage children to develop their passions for football or basketball. So she enacted a lot of proper policies that finally solved many problems. Thus in the same way, a performer might do better than anyone else in leading an entertainment industry.
Last but not least, if only the one candidate is elected by the public, he or she should be equally trusted no matter what his or her career used to be. That is to say athletes and performers have the same rights as anyone else to be selected to be the president of a country or the governor of a state according to the democratic principles. Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger for instance, were democratically elected, so they could be the leaders of Americans just like other presidents and governors else. So the question of who could be the leader has nothing to do with his or her previous job but his or her public support.0 votedJune 9, 20170Diary 2017.09.06 Practice of writing (sector two)

Yesterday, I had a really good conversation with an American guy. But first, I need to explain how I came to have this conversation. Well, a friend of mine has rented a bedroom for (I think you mean from) this American, whose name is Henry. So, yesterday at night I went to my friend's house to have a dinner. Henry joined us and we had a fantastic conversation. Henry is 65 years old and he is a photographer from Los Angeles. He is spending some time in Brazil to learn more about our culture and, of course, to have fun. He likes to go to cultural places such as music festivals, Brazilian parties, Brazilian restaurants, among others. He is in love with Brazilian barbecue (actually, it's my favorite food here in Brazil). Although he's elderly, he has a lot of energy to walk all the day to meet new people and see new places (you don't meet a place). I was inspired by him and I hope to reach his age with all this energy as well.
Henry will be here until September and I hope to talk with him more often until then.
Thank you for reading that. See you in the next time.0 votedJune 9, 20171characteristics,please correct if there're any mistakes, thank you
Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life. Which do you consider to be the major influence?
Some people believe that people’s characteristics to a large extent determine what kind of person he or she will be when they grow up. However, I think experience has more impacts on their lives.Personalities are mostly cultivated in childhood. Parents’ education plays a crucial part in fostering children’s personalities, because no one can distinguish whether a baby was active or shy when the baby was given a birth born. The way to build (develop sounds better) personalities (characteristic - enthusiasm is a characteristic that forms part of a personality) such as enthusiasm is to simulate (imitate sounds better) their parents’ behaviors. For example, if parents encourage them to communicate more with others, they tend to be more outgoing.
It is proven that children are curious about new things and are easy to be influence easily influenced by experience in their lives. Furthermore, the fact that people are more likely to be employed if they have more work experience, must mean that more experience is beneficial to their development. Successful men cannot succeed without knowledge accumulated from failure. For instance, Edison invented electric light after thousands of experiments, most of which failed as a consequence. In terms of countries’ a country's development, it is impossible for a country to be more advanced in all aspects than other countries when it is first formed. There are revolutions and campaigns that manifest from a prolonged history and provides good experience to presidents who can make countries develop rapidly and healthily.
On the other hand, it does not mean that intrinsic or hereditary characteristics are not significant to people’s personalities. However, although successful people can contribute part of their success to their talents, they cannot realise achievements without being recognized by others and provided with opportunities.
In conclusion, I admit that the characteristics we are born with do influence our personal growth, although experience is more important to not only their personalities but also their development.0 votedJune 9, 20170
