The most unforgettable event in my life

The journey that I will never forget is last summer’s vacation. My sister and I went to France to visit my aunt. I planned the schedule where we wanted to visit in there in advance.I was excited when I arrived in France. At first, seeing that I couldn’t understand French, I had no way to communicate with people. Then my aunt taught me some basic French and easy conversations. I think French is more complex than English. Sometimes I pronounced them incorrectly, thus it turned out that what I said couldn’t be understand by the French and misunderstand the meaning. It was funny.Louvre, Palace of Versailles, and Musée d'Orsay are well- known museums in Paris. I looked forward to paying there a visit all the time when I was in Paris. There are some famous paintings, such as The Mona Lisa, The Gleaners that I only had ever seen in books formerly. In addition, each part of Paris’s scenery, buildings is beautiful as though I was in an amazing dream.One of my aunt’s friends invited us to visit her in Normandy in August. Hence, I had an opportunity to live in the French’s home. She was very kind and hospitable. She made French bread by herself and prepared many kinds of cheeses for us to taste. It was a novel and special experience for me in France.Until now, I still keep the details of journey in mind and I will remember it for good. It is worth traveling to France this time. I am of the opinion that it is the most unforgettable event in my life.

The labor education is a course that will be taken for freshmen. Although it is zero credit, it is a required course for freshmen. When I started my first semester in the college, I heard we have to take the labor education. A thought came into my mind at that time: why do we have to clean out the campus? I assumed that college is different from before and we don’t need to clean the campus anymore. However, maybe I mistake. We have three different parts of labor education in one semester and every part is for a period of six weeks. In the beginning, I didn't like it because I am lazy to do that. I swept outdoor area at noon. There were four people to sweep there together. There was much sun and so hot. The area was not only far but also big of range. It was troublesome. What's more, I had to get up to clean the campus in the morning. I often didn't get up on time, not to mention in the winter. It is annoying. However, I am used to labor education and adapt to it now. The labor education remains last part to clean the campus. As the labor education will end this semester also will be over. It is a experience for freshmen.

The labor education must be taken for freshmen. Although it is zero credit, it is necessary for freshmen. At times I heard that many students complain about labor education.

Most people are fond of taking pictures. Some of them just want to retain every wonderful moment of life. The saying goes: The camera never lies. As far as I am concerned, I think there are two different aspects. On one hand, sometimes people don't like the appearance of themselves in the pictures. In order to avoid showing defects on pictures, some people alter the photos to get better. For example, the stars’ pictures always wonderfully show on the magazines. However, the gossip magazine exposes that their face are with wrinkle or they get fat after they are snapped the photos. On the other hand, the photo is true when you record everything of daily life. Although the photos may fade after you have retained them for a long time, they still hold those good memories for us. As the time passes quickly, the length of memory have limit. The pictures can tell lies, but the memory in the pictures can't change.

The pictures can prove that everything about the memory can't change.

Assignment 1 -------- Paparazzi

Nowadays, you usually see a word, paparazzi by movie, news or magazines. What is called paparazzi, to pry into the gossip and private life of celebrities. Seeing that people are curious about private life of celebrities, the paparazzi prevail over the world.

Most of people don’t like the behavior of paparazzi. I don’t think the paparazzi should be stopped or banned but they don’t overdo. If they overdo, they will injure the reputation of celebrities. “Celebrities have and always will be the target of the media. It is what the public wants to see. If we choose to be in the public eye, we must accept this as part of the gig.” Ellen, West Hills, California said. As far as I am concerned I agree this comment. However, there are maybe two different conditions about paparazzi.

Essentially, some people who want to be famous need to be massive exposure. Furthermore, they will be in the limelight. The paparazzi make the celebrities famous.The celebrities maybe love and hate between the paparazzi.

Everyone needs to have his/her privacy. It is harm for celebrities to be snapped the photos. At the outset, in the process of becoming famous, people are inclined to receive everyone’s affection. As people become more renowned, their life will be disturbed. Sometimes, the paparazzi track them to snap the photos and reports on their news. “The paparazzi that chase the celebrities are animals in most cases and to an extent murderers (in one case, Princess Diana). There should be laws enacted and enforced that keep these mindless morons from pursuing any celebrity and maintaining a polite distance from them.” Jeff Devlin, Geneva, Florida said. Then, those people tracked by paparazzi can’t live calmly like before anymore.

“The press needs to learn the words "common decency" and "respect." Just because someone makes a movie or is popular does not give the press a right to give them no peace.” Kim Byers, Hudson, Florida said. The paparazzi need to look up to celebrity’s privacy. If paparazzi snap the photos of celebrities, they need to know to do that in moderation.
