All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

According to those two artcile, they showed two sides opinion. I agree Maugham's opinion more. Everyone has his or her fate, how to give ourselves good lives it depended our thoughts. It is unfair when we were born, many things came with us, we can not change it. As Tom in Maugham's article, he was smart, he knew how to get a better life. George, was his brother, he worked hard but get less salary, and he can not breathe in his life, it is not worthy, but he cannot change it, it is his fate. The wise enjoyed life, the unwise was enjoy by life. It is the rule about life.

The ant and the grosshopper

I like the ant more than grosshopper. The grosshopper as the Tom, he just know use his little money to enjoy his life, although he married an old woman and get the woman's whole property, he would be the same ending. Georgia, his brother, as the ant, he worked hard, get his normal salaries. But, he had his plan to his future, he knew how to use his money, how to store the money for future. I like the people who like the ant, we had to have a plan to our future, we can not just enjoy life without thinking. We can enjoy our lives, but the basic premise is we have enough money to make sure our basic life can work.

The Friendship Bond

The idea of friendship is alive and well. The most important required between friends is trust. Only 10 percent of sample said they thought a friend should help another commit suicide if the friend wanted to but was too feeble to do it alone. It shows friendship was alive. In my opinion, the friendship was alive, but is happened in a few. We had two kinds of friends, true friends and friend with benefit. We just have few true friends, this is the problem, if we can not get a right help from true friend, and we will not believe friendship any more. Everyone has own opinion about anything, even his or her opinion can not help you. It is a friendship, when we were in trouble, true friend would give us a hand.

A conflict

Months ago, my friends and I hanged out to Six Flags. We decided to arrive there at 7 o’clock, then we found a hotel and had a party, we would go to six flag next day. It’s our plan.
       Plan is plan, maybe god doesn’t like us. It happens a conflict around us. A friend name Z, he had to drive to Maryland, then came back to meet us in Six flag, he was bilious guy. So, my friends was separated two groups. After he left NYC 2 hours, we drove to six flags. By right we would arrive here earlier. Our car’s GPS is not the latest updated; we were lost in the way. Finally, Z arrived there earlier, he was angry because he want us to get a hotel before he arrived. We told him we will be there in 10 minutes then we find a hotel together, but he refused us. After 20 minutes, he found a hotel, he told us the address, we typed the address in GPS, and there is no result. We got lost again; it is a hard time when we had a trouble about GPS. Finally, we found the hotel, it was 11 o’clock. Even though we had a short party, we were unhappy. It is a little conflict, we can get over it easier, because Z was a bilious gay, and he refused the best solution. We went to six flag with bad mood next day.

Sunday in the park by Bel Kaufman

According to the story “Sunday in the Park”, the story begins with wonderful Sunday evening. Everyone seems to be relaxed in the public playground. The story goes in conflict between two families that have a big difference such as personality of those characters, manner, and lifestyle. The difference of the conflict is going to tell us about their education, career, and socioeconomic status.

Morton, a professor, is very polite, but sometime he shows his weakness to his wife in this situation. On the contrary, the big guy is very rude that show about his education and his social manner. There are definitely the different. Their children learn behavior from their parents.

Although Joe’s family seems to be the "bad" family in the story, the evidence can suggest the opposite. Joe and his father are enjoying a beautiful day at the park just as Larry’s family is.

Question: who is good or bad?

Interpretation: It is a good story, every kind of people act different action in their life, they changed by environment, somebody looked polite, in fact, he or she was rude; somebody looked rude, in fact, he or she was polite. In the life, those kinds of people were everywhere. The story told us, the outside cheated people deeply.

Freewrite in Reading

When I read English, I will read it quickly in the first time. I will read it again with circling words which appeared many times, and figure out the meaning in English. I have to understand the meaning of important sentence, and combining sentences to understand the whole paragraph's meaning. Sometimes i will be in trouble, many sentences have concealed meaning, I always understand a sentence in wrong meaning. If I understand a paragraph, I have to read the paragraph in many times. I always read at home, I would research the way to use the vocabulary.
Taking about the using of vocabulary in class will be better, using English is better than knowing English, Taking more will improve our English fast, taking is the best way to improve English, even we don't know how to spell the words, taking is better than spelling.
