The camera never lies



Camera is an useful tool for our daily life. It helps us to memory the happy or unhappy things. Camera can also take a picture to help us to understand what the things happened in our daily life. However, are these pictures showing the truth? Although the girls in the pictures are slender, is she really having a slender figure in real condition? The person looks happy in the pictures may be not happy in the real life. We look many pictures on TV or Internet every day, and the pictures also look nice. We still need to think these pictures again or read more information about them. We couldn’t make a decision from the pictures only. The details or background happened behind the picture is necessarily for us to realize the picture. “The camera never lies” let us feel that we seem to know everything on the picture, but we don’t really know the “truth” behind it.

Paparazzi

We can know many things about celebrities on TV. However, maybe not all these people want to be asked about things of themselves. Paparazzi sometimes don’t consider the thoughts of celebrities. They just treat them like animals and sometimes even bring bad situation to these people.

We go to the movies or concert in our free time and watch the actor’s skill. Sometimes, I also want to know other things about the actors in the movie, but when I thought it twice, I realized that why I spent more times on them. The actors in the movies or the author are just people. I have to respect their privacy. Even though he or she is popular, it doesn’t mean we can force them and ask everything about their privacy. Paparazzi have to learn what the basic respect of everyone, although they are celebrities.

Shawn Henning said that, “The paparazzi is a good place to start, but if we limit them we have to put limits on our entire media process, new is news but rumors, lies and speculations have no place in real journalism.” In my opinion, paparazzo sometimes does unreasonable. They hound people to take pictures, to ask many questions and to make up the lies. The media damages these celebrities by using rumors. For example, Michal Jackson and Kobe Bryant suffered from these attacks.

On the other hand, we have to think about what conditions or people make paparazzo do these things. According to Fletcher, “My thoughts are that there is too much obsession by the media about the celebrities and including children is so totally over the line. I look at their work that is what I want to see. The standard is exercised by the media of all kinds of not the public's standard, perhaps it is time to take a look what the public really cares about”

In view of above, we can watch the movies, go to the concerts, and buy some books to read, but we still have to respect these celebrities privacy. We shouldn’t curious about the actors or singer’s personal life so much. The more spaces we give, the more creative or attractive stories we can read.

My winter vacation


At the end of the first semester, I reviewed some course that I had learned. I studied the linguistic and Japanese. Linguistic is a subject you have to think what the author wants to talk to you. Additionally, I should spend more time on Japanese or I will not understand what the teacher talks in the class. I just read them for some weeks and went to prepare the books I need in this semester. I checked books on our school website and bought it from the publisher or bookstore. On Chinese New Year, I went to a pasture with our church. We played games together indoor because there was almost rainy all day and have party in the evening that is a tradition in our church. We have church in Taipei, Taichung and Tainan. Although we went from different places, we met with each other in a good way. We talked about the life or played cards with each other. Furthermore, we are a big family in Jesus. For this reason, we feel happy to do things together. In the same way, teenagers went to bed in the same room. However, the bathroom room didn’t have hot water over the twelve ’o clock. Drummer and I were forced to take a cold shower at mid-night. It was so cold but we couldn’t say anything because the others were asleep. The following night we went into bathroom first and had a hot shower. It was very comfortable to take a hot shower in cold weather. We have many interesting and funny things in the church. I really like this big family and hope our teenagers will be better in the future (We have a new way to take the junior high school’s teenagers that is the college students have to learn to lead the whole party).

Backpacking travel and tour travel trip

We know visiting some oversea countries for a vacation is a good idea. It not only lets us has fun but has many difference experiences for us to share with our friends and relations. Because of our economic support, timing or other reasons we sometimes go to a foreign country only for a few days or for a week. We have many kinds of ways to travel around the world. Nevertheless, there are still many differences between backpacking travel or tour travel trip.

Either backpacking travel or tour travel trip has to prepare for a long time tounderstand places where we want to go and what we should carry around with us. However, we have more freedom and independence on time control, the costs and help us establish some abilities on various encountering in our backpacking travel. An example of this is one of my English teachers met an airplane problem when she went to Europe. Airline Company only supported her over through thatnight and she had to think about next steps, to went or to returned.When we meet trouble whether is in an airport or a unfamiliar country, we should try to communicate with people besides us to know the next planes times and its platform, some local cultures and special spots that are worth to visit ,and so on. You have to search a hotel to check in and calculate the costs very carefully. You need to do all things on this situation that is more exciting for you to travel with an agency.

Tour travel trip almost plans all places and hotels as numerous schemes for you to choose so you don’t have to expend a lot of times on them, but many travelers often consider that the time between places to places is too short. Even though backpacking trip tours only a little countries or spots, we take in much more things about them than we go through a district in a short time and have many parts in our trip.

We know backpacking travel and tour travel trips also need high expense. Weshould pay all the

expense ourself, but there are lots of ways to do that. We can join a travel agency and take its

completed itinerary that is more convenient than us spending time on it. On the other hand, it is

inexpensive for us to get the airlines package, and make a decision on scenic spots by ourself.

On the budget though the whole trip, we can get it in local distinct and alsomeet other backpackers

from different countries. You can share with each other what is happening in this period of time and

make friends with them. While you are working aboard, you realize there economic situation. These

are special experiences you can’t take in on your tour travel trip.

There are many chances and various itineraries for all of us to travel to several nations. We should have good ability on foreign languages and get some knowledge about other countries or international news. These capabilities not only help us realize and contact foreigners in a short time but make the best selection on the limitation. After a wonderful travel, you will have many different and special experiences to share with each other.
