Sure.

The second one sounds best.

Paper books or e-books?

As we all know, paper books are the traditional container to store knowledge, and have been somewhat replaced by the internet. From my perspective, the pros outweigh the cons.

There is no doubt that, when we are studying, paper books must be a better choice for us. It is much more convenient for us to take notes while reading. It is more comfortable for our eyes to read paper books compared to reading e-books . If we continue reading electronic devices for hours, it will do harm to our eyes and will create the need for stronger glasses. To sum up (choose something else for this phrase because you want to use it at the end, also "to sum up" is a finishing line being used prematurely because you still have the counter argument in the next paragraph) If it were my paper, i would rearrange the entire sentence to "Note taking and eye site health are the two most beneficial factors about traditional paper books" or something to that effect , paper books are good at both taking notes and our eyes health.

However, in most cases, paper books can be heavy to carry around. By contrast, no matter how many books we have to read, what we only have to carry is an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, and so forth. These devices are much more portable and convenient for us to carry. Also, storing knowledge in the internet reduces the demand for paper whose raw material is wood. In the long run, fewer forests will be cut down to make paper. Therefore, it is an environmentally friendly choice. More and more intelligent electronic books are being produced every day. Due to the rapid development of science and technology, some advanced devices have been equipped with a function of taking notes while reading improving our experience of e-books. Taking notes won't be the exclusive advantage of paper books any more. In other words, compared to paper books, e-books are much more portable and environmentally friendly. I believe technology can make up its disadvantage on taking notes.

To sum up, I admit that paper book is better at both taking notes and our eyes health, however, I believe that the future lies in e-books.

WHAT IS GYARU!? 《Introduction to modern Japanese culture①》

Do you know “Gyaru”?

Gyaru is a girl who dies her hair blonde or a lighter color, wears flashy make-up and sexy(?) clothes like short skirts. This name “Gyaru” came from “Gal” in English.

Surprisingly, Gyaru has a long history; In the late 80’s this word “Gyaru” started to be used. Those days Japan was in the bubble economy period, so girls’ fashion also changed greatly.

In the early 90’s many girls liked fashion styles inspired by Japanese famous female singer Namie Amuro which were micro skirts,T-shirts ,platform shoes, big (?) hair, and thin eyebrows. This was the begging of Gyaru fashion.

In the late 90’s, the new kind of Gyaru called Yamanba which originally means "mountain witch" appeared.

They baked their skin and got their hair bleached because they wanted to look cool.

In the beginning of 2000, Gyaru makeup was a little bit lighter.

Gyaru in this period tried to be cuter like a princess, so they wore princess-Lolita fashion.

Today in Japan, Gyaru fashion is simplified. There are even Gyaru whose hair is black however, at the same time there are Gyaru who still keep traditional Gyaru style. So today, Gyaru fashion is diverse.

I think a smartphone makes many things easier than ever.

I think a cell phone, also known as a smartphone, makes many things easier than ever.
First of all, my cell phone allows me to communicate with my family and friends.
Even when I’m away from them, I can text or call them very easily.
Also, I can take pictures and then share them with friends right away.
Secondly, a smartphone has been my go-to calculator and flashlight. It’s probably the only camera many people own, including me.
There are even apps that help me learn foreign languages on the go.
