Using nuclear power to solve the energy crisis is a popular way in many countries. Although many people think that it is a good idea, I strongly believe that there are many disadvantages of using nuclear power. First, it might pollute the environment around us, and some creatures might be extinct. We have only one earth, so we have to do our best to protect it. Second, nuclear power is dangerous that it might cause radiation leak if we use it carelessly. Once the radiation leaks, we might face many thorny situations.  Finally, it is harmful to our health because it might result in pathological changes of our bodies. What's worse, it might take people's lives away. According to these reasons above, I don’t agree to use nuclear power to solve the energy crisis.

I like to watch movies, and one of my favorites is Twilight. It is a story about vampire's love. A human girl fell in love with a vampire who had lived in the world for one hundred and nine years but still had a young handsome appearance. It was not allowed to have a love affair between a human and a vampire because they had to prevent human from knowing the existence of vampires. Unfortunately, the human girl was pregnant at this time, and she wanted to give birth to her baby who was a half human and half vampire. However, the baby was too strong for the girl to endure the pain. When the baby was born, the girl almost died, so the vampire bit her and made her become a vampire like him so that they could be together forever. It is the most romantic movie that I have ever seen.

There are a great variety of holidays within a year. Among them, Chinese New Year is my favorite. First, I can have a big dinner with my family and we usually feel happy and laugh a lot when we share something interesting happened around us. Also, we children can get red envelopes with much money inside from our parents and grandparents. I often save the money in the bank to prevent a rainy day. Finally, we always go on a trip during this long holiday and have a lot of fun. After the trip, I often feel that I am full of energy to face the challenges in the next year. Chinese New Year always brings me a perfect memory.

After I graduated from senior high school, I decided to go to an English-speaking country. There are some reasons why I make this decision. First, living in an English-speaking country can help me improve my oral ability so that I can talk with others in English fluently. Second, I’d like to know the cultures between an English-speaking country and my hometown. This makes me not offend people whose cultures are different from mine. Third, there is much welfare for students in an English-speaking country, such as America, so that I can have many learning resources. According to those reasons, I have a strong desire to explore an English-speaking country.

A new factory in Acton may bring some positive effects to this small town. There are some benefits I think it would bring to this town. First, it may offer more jobs to the residents. Therefore, they can earn much more money and the young persons don’t need to leave their hometown to find jobs. Second, it may cause economic prosperity to the town and lead Acton to success. Third, this may bring many tourists in Acton, and Acton may become a famous site that everyone knows. Because of these reasons, I consider that Action may have a wonderful future if the factory opens.

According to the case, there were several reasons why Mr. Williams closed his music store. First, he offered only two kinds of music, hip-hop and rock, but the residents in the region were almost elders who didn’t like that kind of music. Second, the opening period of the shop was too short and people who were interested in hip-hop and rock music were mostly teenagers, but they were at school while the shop was opening. Third, the shop accepted cash only, but most of the students didn’t own credit cards but cash. These reasons led to the failure of this shop.

Meeting people through online dating sites becomes more and more popular in this E generation. It is often argued that making friends through the online dating sites sometimes is dangerous. However, I think that meeting people through these sites has many advantages. First, it is really interesting to chat with people from different families, or even countries, on these sites. I can learn more differences between different cultures. Second, it is making friends on the sites that are really exciting for me. Sometimes I can know some famous people through the sites. Finally, I can also learn some new information from those people which makes me broaden my knowledge. To sum up, it is a good idea to meet people through online dating sites.

I am the principal of this school and now I am going to hire a new instructor for my school. There are two resumes from Lynn Whitnall and Debra Fines who are applying for the job, so I have to compare them and make a decision. First, Debra has more education than Lynn. Although Debra has more employment experience than Lynn, Lynn masters more languages than Debra. In addition, Lynn has won an award while Debra hasn't. After considering, I decide to hire Lynn Whitnall who I think is more suitable for this position.

I am a freshman in the college, so I have to find a house where I can live comfortably on my own. Now, I have found two houses which might be suitable for me, but I have to make a decision. One of them is in Fairfax which has two large bedrooms, and the other one is CAMPUS APRTS which has only one bedroom. The former provides air conditioner, while the latter is near campus. And the first one is furnished, but the second one isn't. Though the first one offers more equipments than the second one, its price is higher. Also, I have a pet dog, Gigi, so, I think I would choose the CAMPUS APTS which is more suitable for me.

They are two similar teachers I know in our school. One is Lily, and the other one is Vicky. Both of them teach English, and they are both working hard. They have the same constellation, Sagittarius, so they have similar personalities. Both of them like to help those who are in need. Also, they are graceful and kind to everyone. It's really uncommon to see that two persons from different families are so similar.
