Therefore, they have to use other time which is for sleeping or having rest. It will become a bad habit and under this situation, people will be in this trouble that called sleepng disorder. When people have trouble sleeping, they can't work or study very well and feel that life is horrible. We have to find some ways to avoid this kind of trouble in order to keep a great health. In my opinion, people should have a regular schedul to their life. In fact, I also want to know others' reason why they cause sleeping disorder and some other suggestion that can avoid this trouble.

Anger

Everyone will be anger when they meet something. When I anger, I often try some ways to express my emotion. For instance, I often eat many food to give vent to my anger, or cry alone. I think those way is accepted for girls, but I don't think it is a good way to express anger. Eating too much will hurt the stomach and harmful for people' health. I find another way to express that is watching movies. When I argue with my friends or family, I will go to my desk and watch funny movies. Ofter watching movie, I will foget the thing that cause me anger. I think there are something that may cause me anger, for example, I argue with others or met something or people I don't like. When I wake up, I will anger with everything during one hours. This is a specil factors that may cause me anger.The event of the article also will cause me anger if I happened this kind of thing.

Breakfast I think eating breakfast is good for people healthy. It is a habit to keep. When I was child, my parents often asked me to eat some food for breakfast. It can let me have more power when I went to school to study. However, I don't have this habit now. I don't have enough time to do the break first and I also don't like to eat food in the morning, but there is less energy to support me to

For this weekend, my friends and I decide to eat some special Chinese food. We will go to our friends home because some of us live in the dorm now and the dorm is not allowed us cooking.

Also, I want to bring a friend who come from America. She never eat Chinese food that we will cook. She really want to try them, so I may invite her to the dinner if

Activity1-9 1 The anger can more risk of heart attack in some people. 2 People have to find and understand their real feelings, and find a method of calming their down. 3 People may shout at others who annoys them or watch a movie

Final Wrting

People may get anger in different situations. Sometimes the outside environment cause people the bad mood. Just like pressures or too much works can easily make one frustrated. In addition, someone may get anger when things is not going on the right track or something let someone feel unfair and can't take it. The emotion of anger may have an negative effect to make things worse. According to the article “ The anger Factor”, it maintains that people venting may up the heart-attack risk and bad for people. However, I thinkg if people can not express their anger, there are more harm for people. Therefore, according to the article” The Great Catharsis Debate”, it thinks that people should use the right way, right time and right person to express their anger. People should know what kind of situation that may cause them anger and how to minimize anger.

The first situation is that people get anger because they are upset and frustrated, especially when things happened. For example,when I got a low grade on test, my parents were disappointed and they expressed the feeling to me. I know it is because they care about me. It seems to be more upset than anger since the main reason is they expect me to get a higher grade. However, when I showed them the low grade they didn't expect before, they got shocked and their blood pressure went up so that they were angry. And when they express that emotion, their actions and way of talking might be angry. For this situation, if my parents didn’t anger with me, maybe I don’t think getting low grade is a bad thing.

Another issue of anger is sometimes people are hurt by others and they want to protect themselves. Of course one would defend his or her personality when others attack. People don't want to hear anything opposite of them or people and things which are related to them. When they feel uncomfortable of words or actions saying or doing by others, they will be anger and return it back. Maybe they will do some crazy actions or say some very bad words. Those are just a way to express their anger. It is because when people feel pressure from outside or inside, their bodies want to release that power. That is also the reason why people do different things to release their pressure

Although it seems hurt people sometimes, it might improve the relationship. People have different argument in their lives. Sometimes it is because we are over control. When there are conflict, people are angry no matter they are families or best friends. After they calm down and think about their mistakes, they realized they are still families and friends, or they get even closer. Families and friends might be anger, but they have their reasons. It might be good for you. Anger can also be considered as another way of love. In addition, we should learn to understand others. To think about others may not be anger on purpose, they just want the best for you.

All in all, if people know what kind of situation may cause them or other anger and know how to express, they can keep a good relationship with others. Also, It can be better than ensconce their anger.

Art

Art is a special subject for people. There are many different kinds of aspect from art such as drawing, moving,singing and so on. In my opinion, if people want to learn art, they have to have the intelligent of some aspects. For example, if people have a strong emotion and like to show this emotion correctly for others, they may be a actor. What's more, I think art is a way to improve the creativity of people. If people just study in the school and they may have not the creativity, but people can increase their creativity if they see some thing or learn something about the art. It can cause people have a imagine and think Memo writingMemorandum To: Instructor, an OPIE teacher, teach English for international students From: Chen Xia, member of OPIE student Re: a interview of smoking Date: October, 2009 Our teacher asked us to interview some Americans and get some research information about smoking.

If you just buy a pet quickly, you may not very like after you bought it. You may throw the pet, I think it is a bad behavor. For me, I just condider dog or cat and finally I think I prefer to have a dog because it is realy cute than cats. When people decide what kind of pet they want to, they have to consider what kind of dog or cat they like, because they have to search some information about this kind of dog or cat. I have a golden retriever, I find many information about this dog. I don't want to hurt it because of my less knowledge about it.And then, people should go to the internet and compare the price of the dog, because different seller has the different prcie of the same dog. You can find a price that you can accept.Be careful, maybe you will buy a ill dog because the lower price. Aslo, you have to determine that you have the patient and love your dog.People often will buy a puppy at first time, they have to know how to care the puppy, because the puppy is more vulnerable.People should prepare some things that the dog need, such as bed for dog, food, toy and so on.People aslo should know that how to balance dog's nutriation, because it can let your pet more health and beauty.For me, I often feed my dog a aptotic food of dog, because when I change his food, he will feel very bad and be ill.I will put some calcium in his food, be careful!!!!!!( for dog's food and calcium that must just for dog not for people)After my dog finish his dinner, I will feed some fruit .People have to establish a schedule that include when take your pet to play, when feed them and when take them to wash.Playing with your pet is very important activity, because it not only can keep a good relationship between you and your pets but also is good for you pets.

First, I think the location of the Ohio University is petty good. The university locate in a small town which may not very convenient for people, but the environment is honestly good for students to finish their degrees. When I first came to there, I was totally attract by the landscape of the university. There are many green area and students can lie in the lawn to enjoy the sunshine and read the book with the perfect feelings. Second, the technology of the university is very advanced, the university offer many technology for students to use, such as computers and printers. It is very convenient for international students who just learn and live in one university four or five years because we do not have to buy those tools which will be throw when we finish our degree. Therefore, Ohio University is a perfect university you should attend.

I have a opportunity to choose one or two academic class for the quarter, at first, I want to choose the same course as my friends because we can go to class together everyday, but I give up this idea, because my friends just want to take math or music that are not difficult. I consider that I should take some requirement classes when I still stay in the OPIE, such as accounting or economic. Those two classes are very difficult, especially accounting, so I think I can choose this class, because I have more time than the students who take 4 courses. I can use much time to study the difficult course in order to get a perfect grade for my class. Therefore, I suggest that students who are still in OPIE should take the accounting and economic first, because it is easy to get A grade when you stay in OPIE with much free time.

All of people who know the Kong Fu will know who they are. They bring the KongFu into the foreign movies and first let people who come from other county know Chinese KongFU. For example, <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> the movie " The karate kid" which show last year or two years ago.
