In the past decade, China has greater influence over the world than ever before. More and more foreigners pay attention to Chinese people.
I have several foreign friends. According to them and their friends, they assume Chinese people have certain characteristics. Firstly, Chinese people are smart. We can product many well known brands and are good at imitating. Secondly, although Chinese food is delicious, most Chinese seem to be fond of spicy food especially. Also, Chinese people are rich enough to afford many expensive products.
As a matter of fact, most foreigners are fantastic by Chinese people for both their modesty and arrogance. Wish we can do better to impress positively in the global stage.
Essay Assignment:x09Prepare for a Tripx09
Topic:x09Imagine that you are preparing for a trip. You plan to be away from your home for a year. In addition to clothing and personal care items, you can take one additional thing. What would you take and why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
If I had the opportunity for a whole year trip, I would like to take a camera with me in addition to clothing and other necessities.
I have several reasons to support my choice. Firstly, whether interesting or tedious, the long trip would become a valuable part of my memory in the future. I can use the camera to catch all the wonders that I feel fantastic. After the journey, I would write down the whole process, the photographs would assist me to remember all the details and special occasions then. I am sure that a travel book or blog matched with photos would attract more attention and inspire other people to travel.
Secondly, if I were out of money, I can use my camera to make a small amount of money. For instance, I can sell my photos to local magazines or newspapers. Or imagine I came across some primitive tribes. I could make friends with them by taking photos for them. Anyway, photographs can be a skill when necessary.
Thirdly, I think it might be very lonely if I travel alone all by myself. If I can share my experience with friends and families far away, such loneliness may be reduced correspondently. As long as I have access to the internet, I can upload all the photos to share with those I beloved. Moreover, I may get encouragement from them and march forward without hesitation.
In addition to the above mentioned reasons, I think it is advisable to anticipate some accidents. With a camera, I could record whatever happened, which could serve as a proof in the future. For example, I may be robbed or trapped. If luckily enough, I could use camera as a weapon to hit those who attacked me. Or if the police happened to find my camera, they could speculate when and where I suffered the misfortune.
To sum, I think a camera can serve both as a skill in case of unexpected shortage of money and as a tool for companying me, consoling me during the entire trip. Occasionally, it may be used as a weapon.
第一次写这种作文,觉得题目有意思才写的.大意是：我要带个相机,可以记录旅程,将来出书什么的可以图文并茂,吸引眼球并激发别人旅行；第二,万一没钱了,可以把照片寄给报社杂志赚点小钱或者想想遇到原始部落,可以给他们照相交朋友；第三,旅程太孤单了,可以上传照片到博客和家人、朋友分享,得到他们的鼓励后勇往直前；除此之外,万一被抢劫,可以用相机砸对方或者警方找到我的相机后推断出事时间地点.
总之, 相机既能在必要时候充当技术载体,也能作为陪伴、抚慰自己的工具,还可能发挥武器功效哈.
呃,我承认我是悬疑、科幻看多了. 但是我们外教好像很喜欢发散的回答*
