spending times with my family

I like spending times with my family every weekend, because all of us are busy during the week days. Most of us working in the day time, and after work, we usually eat dinner, and then sleep. So we don’t talk that much often during these days, so when it’s weekend, we usually spend a lot of times together and talk about what happened on the previous week. Spending time with family is really nice since they are the closest person to you. Family will always support you whenever bad things happens. I don’t like when family fight, or argue, because it hurts all of us deep inside our heart. I like to see family smile and having a wonderful time.

I like the season because...

I like it spring season because it’s not too hot or not too cold. I don’t like winter because I don’t like cold, raining weather. Spring is a nice season because the flowers are blooming, cool wind, and great weather. In Spring, there isn’t much rain going on, so me and my family usually goes outdoor to travel and enjoy the outside instead staying in the city all day long. I love outdoors, so every weekend during spring, I always takes my family and dog out to walk, and it actually feels really nice. Also I will not sweat too much like summer, don’t need to wear so much cloths when going outside.

My favorite animal is...

My favorite animal is Dog. Dogs are lovely and really cute. I like to hug them every time I gets homes. They also know when I am almost home, they would sit by the door and waits for me to come home. Having a dog by my side is just like having another friends. I can play with the dog all the time, especially when I am sad. Dog doesn’t care if you are rich or not, as long as you care for them, they will love you back. Just wish that they won’t destroy too many things in your house and give you an innocent looking, because dog can not understand what they just did.

My favorite movie is...

My favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast. The story has a very good point that even though the beast was hideous and scary, but the princess still finds the heart to love him regardless of his appearance. This reminds me of that we shouldn’t not judge on people’s appearance rather than we should inner beauty. I believe that not all people are bad, sometimes, you just have to spend time to really gets to know the other person. Always have a kind heart when treating others, if you treat them nice, they will treat you nice. I love the movies because the story really teach me something.

A list of things I’ll never do

I am too afraid of height, so I would never goes on a roller coaster ride. I gets very worry and I do not like that feeling. I would never eat seafood, because I have an allergy that every times I eat seafood, my skin will get itchy. I would never drive fast on the road, because in Taiwan, the streets are small, and a lot of car and motorcycle are near me. Driving fast will have a higher chance of getting accident. I would never want to watch scary movies, because I am very afraid of the ghost, and sometimes, I can not sleep at night after watching a scary movie.

If I were...

If I were a teacher, I would give more freedom to student to express their mind and knowledge and also ensure every student can have a fun learning experience. Education is a very important part of everyone’s life. The more hard work you put in, the better life you will have in the future. I would also give less homework to student as I have experience home works can put a lot of pressure on student. I would ask them what would be a better way for them to learn easy and fast. So learning with me will not be boring, and it will make students want to come to my class and also have fun at the same time.

Visiting United State

We always plan ahead before going to travel United State. It is a good idea to know where you want to visit. For example, we can visit San Diego, Hollywood and Disneyland. Than we should be learn their language and culture to know the way of living. For instance, English is their main language in United State, and most stores close at 10 PM. After that, we also to be understand their food. There are several America Food and fast-food that is different with us. Finally, the public transportation is not popular in there. People usually drive to any places. These example show that it’s always better to study about United State before you go there, you will not be lost.

My New Year's Resolutions Are…

There are several resolutions that I want to do. First, I am planning to backpack travel in Japan with my friends this winter. That is first time I go there. Maybe Japan is not my favorite country that I want to go abroad. I don’t like this trip because it is no one could speak Japanese in our group; I think it is so dangerous, and it will let me fell scare in strange place, but both my friends choose there. I think my first important New Year resolutions maybe become “I wish I will come back safely.”

Second, I hope I can spend more time with my parents. Since I graduate from high school and get job quickly and luckily, I have no more time to keep with my family, because my job must working in every night. That let me lose a lot of time to get together with them. Moreover, when I begin to study in every weekend, I can feel time is not enough more. I really hope I can have more time with them, but I know it will be come true after 2 years.

2. What technique does the advertiser use to sell the product?
The car is not too big, not too pricy. TOYATA car is very fuel efficient, and long lasting. A lot of color you can choose.

3. Do you think this ad is effective? Why or why not?
Yes, because the low price, gas saving. A lot of driver would want a car that saves gas. Also long lasting, so it will not break down easily. Also the colors attract the attentions of young people.

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER

Their target audience is families with children or pet. Family who loves outdoor activity and travel.

2. What technique does the advertiser use to sell the product?
They are emphasize one touch seat folding system, that allows the back seats folds automatically by a simple touch and more space in the back for things.

3. Do you think this ad is effective? Why or why not?
Yes, I think that is effective, because even a god knows how o use it.

Comparison

1. The TOYOTA car is more design for a single person, not much of a Family Car, because the car is not that big. The TOYOTA is less expensive than the MITSUBISHI. MITSUBISHI is more for family who loves outdoor, and spacious in the car.

2. The price is a big difference. TOYOTA cost about $450,000 and MITSUBISHI cost around $800,000. Although the MITSUBISHI has the one-touch folding chair, but most people would consider price is a big concern when buying the car. TOYOTA ad would attract the attention of more young people, Because of the large car not too popular to young people because too costly to own and maintain.

3. Although MITSUBISHI car's advertisement is more convincing with the picture of the dog and family. But I believe people would still choose Toyota, because according to online information, more people buy TOYOTA than MITSUBISHI. Unless the buyer loves to travel, then Mitsubishi would be a better choice for them. But for a typical person who wants to drive, TOYOTA would be a better choice.
