Why the education so important ?

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to welcome you today. Let me introduce myself. My name is Belinda, from Lunghwa University. Before I start my presentation, I would like to ask you some questions. Do you believe the salary will be higher if your education is better than others? Do you know what the level for education nowadays is?

The topic of today’s presentations is “why the education so important.” My presentation will be about 4 minutes long. I will focus on three major issues.

First of all, I will talk about “job opportunities”.
Second, I will tell you something about “skills”.
After that, I will move on to express “learn how to learn”.

Don’t worry about taking notes, I will email you the information after my presentation and please let me know if you have any questions.

Ok, let’s start with “Job opportunities”.
Education is become a basic requirement for many employers, you can find the job easily if your education is higher than the others.

This now leads us to my next point as “Skills”.
Language skills will help you to communicate your ideas more clearly. It’s essential in any role –No matter what skills, it can be helpful for you.

I would like to point out the 3rd part as “Learn how to learn.”
School teaches you how to gather, learn, and apply knowledge. Despite what career you choose, you will need to learn information, and skills related to your job. Because you will be replaced by other people without learning.

Let me quickly explain the graph. You can see that different colors have been used to indicate each of level education. The blue line, gives us how many people studied Graduate School. The dark purple line is for college. And the yellow color which is for Junior college.

According to the bar chart, we can easily see the rates that the people graduated from the universities rise gradually from 2001 to 2008. That means most of us are aware of the importance of education. No matter how high education is, you still have to go on learning or you will be eliminated.

Well, this brings me to the end of my presentation. Remember what I said at the beginning of my talk today? Let me summarize the most important results. The more you LEARN, the more you EARN. Keep learning without fair. I hope you can learn why the education is more important after my presentation. Thank you all for listening.

The Pull of the Ocean

Plot summary:

There are nine people in Yann’s family. Yann was the seventh child. The six other siblings were all twins; the oldest set was 14 years old, while the next set was a year younger, and the last set was aged 11. All of the siblings were tall for their age but skinny.

On a stormy night, little Yann Doutreleau was not sleeping. He heard voices downstairs from his parents who fought at midnight. Yann pressed his ear against the door of his parent’s room to bet hear his parents’ row and learned that the family had no money left. Their argument revealed that his mother was going to ask for assistance, as many other people had to do. The father objected; he preferred to die and all of his children with him rather than seeing his wife beg. The rain came down heavier and they grew silent……so he went back stairs and woke up his six older brothers. He tells them that they must flee their home or risk being killed by their violent father.

Without questions, the siblings follow Yann into the wet darkness. The social worker investigating the Dourtreleau family, the truck driver who gives the boys a lift, the police officer alerted to their disappearance, the barker who gives them bread, and each of the many people that the seven boys encounter gives a stirring account of what he or she witnesses.
So they begin their remarkable odyssey toward the ocean-as well as an unforgettable story of brotherhood.

Comments

I clearly understood what the book describes after I read “The Pull of the Ocean” two times. There are so many books in the library but why I would prefer to choose this book. Because I like the front cover of this book, in addition, this book is not difficult to read, so that is why I chose it.

Why did the little Yann Doutreleau have to wake up his brother at midnight? Why were they compelled to flee their home at midnight under the pouring rain? The tragedy is that he misheard is father; in actuality, his father had no intention of killing the children. When the patriarch said, “I will kill’em all tomorrow! All seven of’em!” He meant the seven cats. Unfortunately, he did not all listening to so that is why lead to misunderstanding.

Yann Doutreleau was only ten but he was very brave. He guided his brothers to run out of their home when he thought his father want to kill them. Despite Yann was brave, but like children everywhere, he lacked understanding and wisdom. His impulse only lead to further misunderstanding.

When they ran out of their home, they had no plans, so they did not have money for food or any relatives that they could depend on. They were drenched, freezing and lost, but luckily, no one was seriously hurt.

I recall one proverb, “everything should all think thrice before acting.” One can prevent unnecessary troubles from happening if you think before you “leap”. It behooves us to think and be patient in making decisions, because once action is taken, we often cannot return.

How to quit smoking ?

Ladies and gentlemen. It is a pleasure to welcome you today. Do you smoke ? Have you ever tried to quit it ? Do you know what may happen to wives when their husbands smoke ? The topic of today’s presentation is “ how to quit smoking.”

In my presentation I will focus on Healthy because there is nothing more important than health.

Smoking causes lung cancer. Smokers have six times as much cancer of the mouth, tongue, and throat as nonsmokers. Nonsmoking women married to smoking men have a high risk to get old easily. All of these facts from research show that smoking is bad.


There are several ways to quit smoking. For example, get up and take a walk instead of smoking immediately after a meal. Doing some exercise if you want to smoke. Sports can relieve stress and relax our min or find another person to quit the smoking together.

After ten years of quitting, the chance of getting cancer is almost the same as nonsmokers. So think about it, quit the smoking, you will live better and longer!

How to drive a teacher crazy ?

When I was a junior high school student, I always liked to see the movies about how to drive a teacher crazy. The funny movies made me laugh all the time. To drive a teacher crazy is easy and simple. You do not need to think too much or need to prepare any tools if you want to drive a teacher crazy.

First, never inform the teacher if the classroom is changed. It will be fun to just watch the teacher find out where the classroom is. When the teacher is locked in the elevator, just let the teacher be trapped in the elevator. Do not attempt to save the teacher. In addition, when the teacher finds the classroom, just surprise him/her with a filthy classroom. In just a few minutes, you will find out how crazy the teacher is.

However, it is not polite but rude to drive a teacher crazy. So think before you leap.

Please do not try it yourself!

Why has Confucianism had such an enduring influence ?

In my opinion , no other philosopher in the world has had more induring influence than Confucius because there were two cornerstones of his system of personal conduct where jen and li. Jen might be defined as “benevolent concern for one’s fellow men.” Li is a term less easily translated: it combines the notions of etiquette, good manners, and due concern for rituals and customs. Confucius believed that a man should strive after truth and virtue rather than wealth and in his personal life he seems to have acted on that principle.

In addition, he was the first major philosopher to state the Golden Rule, which he phrased as “Do no do unto others that which you would not have them do unto you.” Confucius believed that respect and obedience are owed by children to their parents, by wives to their husbands, and by subjects to their rulers.

But he was never a defender of tyranny. On the contrary, the starting point of his political outlook is that the state exists for the benefit of the people, not the rulers. Another of his key political ideas is that a leader should govern primarily by moral example, rather than by force so that is why Confucianism has had such an enduring influence.

Why do you think some people continually have money problems ?

Is it the fault of credit cards ? is it the lack of experience or training ?

In my viewpoint, I think some people continually have money problems, maybe the reason is that it is not the fault of credit cards, they didn’t care about the money and they are lack of experience and training.

Make a saving budget is important. With the food and petrol prices constantly rising in the face of the global financial crisis, cutting unnecessary spending and saving money is of ever increasing importance.

When shopping, keep a look out for special offers, sometimes you can even pick up top branded products cheaply if they are on offer. Try shopping at a different supermarket and see if you are shopping works out cheaper. This could be especially helpful if this supermarket is closer to home.

For electricity, turn off lights when they are not being used and try to avoid leaving electrical appliances on standby.

The cost of petrol has risen massively and even a short journey now costs a substantial amount in petrol costs. Avoid driving when you can, walk or take a bike. Not only will this save you money but it’s great for your fitness!

Luncheon

In “The Luncheon”, the narrator starts out by describing what he had a lunch with the woman who had not seen each other in 20 years.

It was twenty years ago, the author who was very poor was living in Paris. One day the woman had read a book of Maugham and had written to he about it. He answered, thanking her, and received the woman’s letter that she would like to had a chat with him and asked him took her to lunch at the Foyot’s. Foyot’s was a restaurant which the French senators eat and it was so far beyond he. But he was flattered and too young to say no to the woman, so he agreed and they met at Foyot’s on Thursday at half past twelve.After they met, she was not so young as he expected and in appearance imposing rather than attractive. She was in fact a woman of forty, and she gave he the impression of having more teeth, white and large. She was talkative person.

But he was startled when the bill of fare was brought, for the prices were a great deal higher than he had anticipated. But she reassured he. “I never eat anything for luncheon, I never eat more than one thing.” But she ordered salmon, caviar, French white wines, giant asparagus. After they finished their lunch, he paid the bill, he found that he had only enough for a quite inadequate tip. When he walked out of the restaurant he had the whole month before he and not a penny in his pocket. So far the luncheon has gone badly for the author who should said no if he didn’t had much money to bear it.

Rice Dumpling

The most popular dish during Dragon Boat Festival is rice dumpling, originally eaten in memory of the patriot Chu Yuan.

It is said that after the poet-statesman Chu Yuan ended his life by drowning, people began throwing balls of sweet rice wrapped in bamboo leaves into the Miluo River to keep the fish from eating the patriot's body. Over time these rice balls became more elaborate and varied with the addition of pork, peanuts, salted eggs, and other fillings, gradually evolving into the modern day.

The Chinese are lovers of food and drink, and nowhere is this more apparent than the plethora of different types of rice dumpling. No matter how large or small, sweet or savory, with meat or vegetarian, rice dumpling come in almost every size and flavor imaginable. In Taiwan, it is very convenient to buy ready-to-eat rice dumpling which gradually evolving into a snack eaten during normal occasions. However, many families still prefer to make their own. This is especially true of families with children preparing for the once-a-year college entrance exams held after Dragon Boat Festival, since it is believed that eating homemade rice dumpling before the test will help bring high scores.

Do you agree "humor is a way for people to socialize"… ?

I totally agree with “humor is a way for people to socialize… It’s a way for people to connect – a way to bond with each other,” because people enjoy the feeling of laughter. It feels good. It’s a good solution when you have trouble communicating with people. For example, when A accidentally spilt coffee on B’s backpack and B said, “It’s OK. I haven’t washed my backpack for a long time. Thank you for giving me the chance to wash my backpack.” By doing so, the embarrassment between the two can be easily reduced. .

Humor is a good way to make new friends in any place. For example, outgoing people usually have a lot of friends because they are more humorous with good temper and much easier to get along with.

A positive outlook will make people want to be around you a lot more. Some studies have shown that putting a positive expression on your face can actually make you feel happier and more optimistic. But if you're shy, you need to build up your confidence to actually be popular because making friends is not always easy. It depends on how outgoing and how humorous you are. Nobody likes to be around with people who are so serious all the time. If you're serious, you might not make new friends easily. So that’s why Humor is a way for people to connect a way to bond with each other.

Simpsons movie

In my opinion, I think the Simpsons movie wants to convey what the Unity Strength is. Despite the Simpson Family was disunited at the beginning, they become united when their family suffered from misunderstanding by their community and encountered slaughtered and finally pushed out of their country. After they escaped to Alaska, they learned that the people of their country suffered the agony and bottled up. Though the people wanted to kill their family before, the Simpson Family didn’t keep in mind except the father. The mother told the father that she wanted to go back to their home and save their country with Bart Simpson and his younger sister. The father disagreed because the people wanted to kill them before. Nevertheless, the mother went back to their home with their children while the father stayed in Alaska. Soon after, he started to miss his family. So he went back to look for his wife, children and rescue their country. I like the way it presents the great sentiment. And I think there is noting more important than “being united”, so that’s why I like this movie. In fact I haven’t seen the cartoon for a long period of time, and I seldom saw the Simpsons when I was a child. Therefore, I don’t have any ideas about the Simpson Family before I saw it. All in all, the movie was good ,funny and made me laugh.

A Love Letter

Dear An,

We have not seen each other for a long time. How have you been?

I remember you were a class leader when we just knew each other in the class 13 years ago. You were a sports lover and your score was always on the top five that let me feel that I should not lag behind too much of you. You were a kind and responsible person, you always exposed your tiger teeth when you smiled so that is why I was deeply attracted by you.

I like to see you when you play sports. I like to go to school because I could see you .You will never know there is someone who has loved you for a long time. I was shy and quiet when I talked to you. I am not sure whether you still remember me or not ? We are older now, but wiser! If I did not write this letter to show my love to you, I would regret forever. If you had no girlfriends or did not marry now, would you give me an opportunity to know each other?

I sincerely hope you all the best!

Best regards,
Belinda Chen
