The sentence that I remember well is originally from a poem, it is about dream big then work hard. Quite simple sentence but really impressive to me. Let me put it in this way a little bit, if you want to make your come true, or to have material success, you have to sacrifice something of freedom to get it. Gotta be honest, I couldn't remember the poem clearly, but these few words have been with me for years. A couple of years ago, when I was in the first year of my college life, I was very lazy in everything. Ranging from my academic study to after-class activity, from my personal life to my part time job. The other day, I came across this sentence when I was sitting in my dormitory. A roommate of mine recommended his favorite poem to me, which says that dream big work hard. At that very moment I realized the importance of sacrifice. Then I had to keep doing it for a while. Till now, I still have it in my mind, especially when I am suffering from bad emotions or working pressure. It works well, apparently. That is it.
Mention about the topic, the best clothes on me is not a formal suit or such, it is just a Tee which has a signature on it. Apparently, the signature is from Edison Chen. He used to be quite famous all over the world you know. A perfect actor and a special idol to me. A couple of years ago, my best friend gave it to me as my 19th birthday gift. The color is my favorite, babe blue, or let us say light blue. No specific design or something, but I just love its brand, color and signature. I thought that it was the best clothes of mine, I wore it only once to twice when I became a real university student. On that special day, I wore it. I thought that it brought good luck to me, on the first day of my college life, certainly I would wear it. Till now, it was still kept in my room, I used to take some photos and uploaded the pictures to my Tik Tok, just for fun, for showing off, you know. So, that is it.
The place where I went to and has been polluted is right in the centre of my city. To be precise, it is a small park where is usually full of visitors, and it is normally getting crowded on vacation or public holiday. You know, such as young children who are at school, young adults or teenagers who are in love, they love this wonderful place. By the way, old people are big fan as well. Since the park is famous for its picnic area, you know, 90% of this park is grassland, where you can have a picnic and enjoy the sunbath. I have been there once, quite romantic place, gotta be honest. Unfortunately, currently it is suffering from air pollution and air dust, because a new factory is being built behind it, too much air dust and air pollution would come to you if you still spend time on the grassland. As far as I know, that could be a terrible experience. I am not planning to spend some time there until the pollution problem is tackled. I think that local government should try to do something one or two on this problem. I am waiting for it. That is it.
Mention about the topic, the school teacher is the job that I wouldn't try in the future. To be precise, the primary school teacher. You know, it is hard for me to do well in that kind of job. For my part, I have got no idea how to spend time with those younger children. I think they are too naughty and normally they make too much noise as well. This is the point. Gotta be honest, a friend of mine now is working in a primary school as a math teacher, I find that she is quite suffering, she couldn't put a smile of joy on her face every day, she has to be very strict with her students. Apparently, I don't like to do that. This could be the most challenging part for me. Above all, a lot of school teachers are looking forward to the summer and winter vacation, 8 to 12 weeks in general each year. But I think it is too long or too boring to me, I am not planning to do that kind of job at all. So, the primary school teacher is the job that I am not likely to do in the future. That is it.
Mention about the topic, Alipay is the app that I love to use. You know, it has been an essential part of our daily life. For me, I have to use it almost every day. A couple of years ago, when I was in college, I got to know it. Quite impressive you know. At the beginning, I didn't trust its functions at all. I have got no idea what it was. After several months, more and more people started to use it. I become a member of them as well. You know, my friends, classmates, parents and grandparents. All of them are big fan. Probably, I think I don't have to take my credit cards or cash with me all the time, all what I need to do is downloading this app, put the phone in my pocket. Then everything would be well settled. After using this special app, I find my life much easier and much safer, cuz I don't have to worry too much about my wallet. So, this is the app that I use more often in my life. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a goal that I set and worked hard comes to my mind. It is all about a brand new Apple product, iPhone x. As is known to all, its price seems unreasonable, quite expensive to me, since all of financial support was originally from my parents. At that time, I made up my mind to do 2-3 part-time jobs on summer vacation, all what I want has got to do something with the iPhone x. I wasn't planning to get money from them any more. I want to be independent economically. Gotta be honest, I worked in a coffee shop each day as a salesperson, from 9am to 12pm, then went to a sport center and started another work as a waiter. This lasted for another 4 hours in general. The point was that I kept on doing this throughout my entire vacation. I even didn't take the day off. You know what, I successfully made my dream come true after so many hard days of work. I was quite proud of myself, I made it. That is it.
The foreign country that I am willing to know more about is Thailand I can say. You know, it is getting close to my country and apparently, it seems quite easy to travel to that special place. As far as I know, it is famous for its fruits, tourism and the weather. You couldn't find winter there, summer time is the only season it has. Actually, many friends of mine have been there before, but I haven't. I would like to give it a try someday in the near future. You know, it is a totally different place from my country, I am big fan of local food, specifically the fruit is my favorite, like durian for example. Besides, the language is my advantage, I can speak fluent English and Chinese, millions of ordinary people in Thailand would use these languages as well. The local people are really friendly by the way. So, I think it is a country where is full of legend and more importantly, I am hoping to spend time there as well. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a time that I was late for an important examination comes to my mind. Last year, I worked hard on a very important exam and it has got to do something with my future job. I spent 4 to 5 hours each day on it. When the day came, I was late because I couldn't get up early on that morning, or I wasn't on time and I did this quite often. It was a bad habit of mine. I know it. I remembered that was a winter morning when I wasn't allowed to take part in the exam, I was totally shocked and felt… it was hard to say, you know. I was walking around the campus, thinking about what I have done. It was the first time that I realised the importance of procrastination. I hated it. Till now, through the bad experience that I have suffered, I have made the change. I am a morning person I can say. That is it.
