What a wonderful dream I had today!  In my dream, I am a father who has three children and a beautiful,considerate wife whom I love in my real life.  Besides, I am an English teacher who has high salaries which enables me to support the whole family.  Furthermore, my wife is also a teacher who majors in math.  As a result, we can help our children who are all students in preschool with their homework.  To my happiness, they are all cute and simple-hearted.  Everyday after I have no class, I always pick them up, and we go to a park playing hide-and-seek and exercising together.  As soon as we feel tired, we go home at once, and my wife always has prepared delicious dinner waiting for us already.  After having dinner, my wife and I help our children check up their homework.  In the evening before they go to bed, I always read a story for them to help them fall sleep well.  In conclusion, It was the best dream that I have ever had and I hope it will come true someday.

I love the feeling that the cool wind which can make me feel pleasant blows through my face.  Therefore, spring is my favorite season.  There are more than one reason why I love spring.  First of all, the weather in spring is not extremely hot or cold.  Because my body will sweat a lot whenever I do exercises, I don't like the hot weather especially.  Secondly, plenty of flowers will blossom during those three months instead of withering.  As a result, not only can I appreciate various kinds of colorful flowers and luxuriant trees, but I don't need to sweep a legion of fallen leaves from trees at school.  Last but not the least, spring is the main reason of harvest.  Consequently, vagetables and various kinds of fruits in spring are always cheaper than in any other season.  Because of that reason, I can usually have delicious meals.  To sum up, I am certainly sure that spring is the best season in my mind because of the reasons I mentioned.

I don't think using nuclear power to solve the energy crsis is a good way.  Firstly, there is a lot of nuclear garbage after producing energy.  And no citizen living in any town wants their neighborhood filled with nuclear garbage.  Next, nuclear power is very dangerous and unstable.  Take Japan for instance, the serious earthquake and destructive Tsunami caused serious destruction to the nuclear power plants in Japan.  As a result, the fatal radiation spread the whole Asia and threatened a great deal of people.  Finally, great amount of  waste water will be released to the ocean in order to make the nuclear power plants cool.  As a result, it may kill various kinds of beautiful coral and make them white.  To sum up, because of these bad results, I don't think nuclear power is a good way to solve the energy crsis.

I enjoy playing basketball and jogging.  But I like two activities for different reasons.  When I play basketball, I can have fun with my friends.  But I always go jogging alone.  Next, I can jog no matter where I am.  But if I want to play basketball, I have to find the place first.  On one hand, jogging is a regulated and alleviate exercise.  On the other hand, playing basketball is an exciting and fierce sport.  Though they are different, I still like them.

There will be a large factory which will have several effects on a small town called Acton.  First of all, a great number of jobs will be open for the residents.  Consequently, it can improve the economic development of the small town.  Besides, it will bring a lot of people to the community.  Because of that, the local authorities will build more public facilities.  Last but not the least, there will be more modern structures and they can change the small town a lot instead of remaining the original appearance.  To sum up, if the owner of the large factory decides to build it at the small town, it will be a good chance for the citizens to have a good life.

If I take a trip to English-speaking country, there will be several effects on me.  First of all, because of the residents who almost speak English, I can learn English quickly by chatting with them.  In addition, I will be able to widen my knowledge about exotic cultures, history and so on.  As a result, I can strengthen my world vision.  However, now, it will be not easy for me to find a job.  So far, I haven't been able to speak English fluently.  In short, I think it is a good way to improve myself by going English-speaking countries.

After I graduated from the junior high school, I decided to major in English at National Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School.  There are some reasons why I chose the major.  First of all, when I was a eight-year-old boy, I was interested in English a lot.  And I always felt excited when I saw foreigners walking on the street.  In addition, because of globalization, English becomes the main language all over the world and more and more important.  As a result, English is a principal rule to make friends from other countries, have successful business, and so on.  Last but not the least, I am a man full of adventure, and I have a dream of being a backpacker traveling around the world.  I know that it is necessary to have the ability which can speak English fluently and read English smoothly.  In short, I think choosing English as a major is a wonderful decision, and I will continue to study it hard.

Michael Williams ran the music shop just a little more than three months.  Why he failed to run his shop well and closed it quickly?  There are several reasons which can let us understand Michael Williams's  failure to the shop.  First of all, most of the CDs in the shop were hip-hop and rock which caught the teenagers' eyes.  However, most of the residents of the Fairfax were more than 31 years old.  Therefore, the CDs would not be popular.  In addition, the location of the shop was just 3 miles away from a shopping center that has two large music stores.  Of course, the little shop could not be compared with the shopping center.  Next, Michael Williams would not accept checks or credit cards.  As far as the customers were concerned, they didn’t like to take a lot of cash with them when they were shopping.  Consequently, it was certainly not convenient for customers to buy items from the shop only by cash.  Last but not the least, the little shop was open Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 P.M.  However, there were fewest passersby walking by the shop during the period.  According to these reasons, we can understand why the little shop couldn’t last for a long time.

A lot of schools have the rule to go to school in uniform.  As a student, I don't think that it is a good way.  First of all, when it is a summer day, it will be very uncomfortable to ride a bike in uniform.  Furthermore, it is not convenient for girls to ride a bike in skirt.  Next, if students have to wear uniform every day, they will have to wash it everyday.  That may be a trouble for them.  Finally, I think the sport shirts are better than uniform, because they make student more comfortable and convenient.  To sum up, I hope the schools can change the rule.
