Which Would You Give Up: the TV, the Cell Phone, or the Web? We are now living in an information explosion age. The TV, the cell phone and the web are widely used. In other words, we almost can't live without one of them. Furthermore, lives would be too boring without any one of them. Yet, if I had to give up one of them, I would give up the TV rather than put away my cell phone or switch off the Internet. The first reason is that the Internet is so developed now that we can watch almost every TV program on the Internet. Many TV programs from other countries that we can't find in our TV can also be found on the Internet. The second reason is that I have to keep on touch with my friends and family, and almost all information can be searched out on the Internet. Because of this, we can see that cell phones and the web are important particularly. Those who are opposed to the proposal may maintain that if we don't give up using the web, we may spend too much time on it and neglect our lessons. I adamantly oppose this idea, because we can get as much information through the Internet as we want. As for the problem of using the web overtime, here is a solution that can improve it. We can set a time limit for using the Internet. After the time, just set up the machine to cut off the Internet so that we don't play overtime. In conclusion, because almost all the functions of the TV have been replaced by the web, the TV would be the first thing that I would give up.

The Person That Influences Me Most During my life I have met a lot of people and everyone of them have influenced me. Some of those influences were very positive while some weren't. However, I feel very appreciate to all of them because they help me grow up and become who I am now. The math teacher in the cram school I went to during my junior high school life was the person that influences me most. She was a middle-aged woman with curly long hair. She had a kind face with a few wrinkles while she was smiling. She was smiling all the time. These are her appearances, but isn't the prime reason why she is so authoritative to me. First, when I had troubles, she always encouraged me to do my best, she used to say, "It doesn't matter if you win or not. The most important thing is to do your best and keep going." Her words always cheered me up and gave me lots of power whenever I felt down in the dumps. Second, she changed my attitude in studying. I can still remember that I wasn't a hard-working student in elementary school so that I didn't win any prize when I graduated from elementary school. Nevertheless, her encouragement made my studies more and more progress. I will never forget the changing in the learning attitude. She plays an important role in my life. She usually stood on my side, supporting me again and again. Now I can tell everyone that I'm not able to study in ASHS without her influences on me!
