The activity that I like to do with my family members has got to do something with homemade dinner I must say. You know, it should be great fun. The part that I especially enjoy the most is about how to choose ingredients. Ranging from raw materials to white meat, from fruits to vegetables. I am doing pretty well in this area. Since I am a big fan of supermarket, I have a deep insight into such kinds of things in general. In the past, my mom showed me how to grab something in there. Probably when I was at the age of six. So, my family trusts me so much on this point. More importantly, I do understand how to spend money wisely as well. I am the treasurer when getting ready for a homemade dinner. Above all, my grandparents are doing arrangement. The supervisor, you know. My dad is a good man who is usually in charge of green tea and red tea, black coffee and beers. My nephew is usually naughty when we are busy in the kitchen. By the way, my mom is the chef lol. She is the key role of my home. So, I especially enjoy the moment when all the family members are working hard on one thing at a time. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a colorful place should have got to do something with an art gallery of my city. Formally named, city art gallery, which is located on the suburbs. You know, not a lot of people get to know such a wonderful place since it is not getting close to our life. Since we have to drive and spend almost 2 hours on the road. Three of us had a good time out there on a sunny afternoon. Actually, It looks rather huge, the designing of its outside appearance is classic, the European style I suppose. It is in candy blue and metallic grey, looks exactly like a huge egg on the ground. Stepping into the inside, we could visit three floors, you know, hundreds of pictures, portraits and paintings can be found. Which in my consideration, a colorful place with millions of imagination. By the way, I hardly pay a visit to such kind of place since I major in economy, I have got no idea about the collections of masterpieces. I didn't know anything at all. Interestingly, I took many kinds of photos on that day, it could be a better way to show off, you know. That experience seems quite impressive. That is it.
Growing up as children, we were always told to tell the truth. There was one time that I remember when some friends and I were ready to go hiking together in the mountains. We were pretty excited about the activity and prepared for it for a long time. Unfortunately, about two days before, I got very sick, to the point, that I even had to go to the hospital. It was like pretty serious. However, I didn't want to worry my best friend about it because I knew that I would recover fast from it. I decided to tell a lie about the reasons why I couldn't join them for the hiking day, telling them my parents would travel in the special period and I had to watch over the house in their absence. Luckily, this lie was not as bad as it was, because they decided to make a change of the starting date until we could all attend. Suddenly, I realized that some friends are more important than others. I mean not only for friends but friendship. From time to time, you will find that telling a good lie is better than telling a truth in order to maintain a friendship. so that's it.
The person that I would like to talk about is one of my childhood friends, who is now a professional badminton player in my country. When I was younger, I grew up in a neighborhood with lots of young people, and we would often meet after school on a large playground, to play some games on our way back home. One of my favorite activities was playing badminton, and I could say that I was pretty good at it, but one of my friends at that time was just better than everybody else. Our love for the game made us remain close friends over the years. I could see him grow up and improve his game every day, to the extent that he got approached by professional teams,and was granted the opportunity to live his passion at the highest national level. He was explaining to me that it is very exciting, and the experience is unique, but one of the drawbacks is that they have to travel all the time to the different cities, you know, where the games are supposed to be held, and sometimes it can be very long and boring. The team he plays for doesn't have its own private plane, which is not very comfortable according to him, btw, he often gets airsick so he tries to sleep more than anything else on the plane. He apparently dislike traveling by air but because of his passion to the work, he still keeps doing that for a long time. That is it.
There is a special line of fast-food restaurants that only exists in my region. From what I know, it is a family business that was created a couple of decades ago, and grew in size and influence. Over the years, they have been trying to come up with their own products, although it is not an easy work in the food industry. However, they tried to create a special sauce, then add it to their products to make them taste even better. The first time I went to that restaurant was with my girlfriend after watching a movie in a nearby cinema, on our way back home. Arriving at that restaurant, we were recommended a new hamburger which would be the best one we ever had. You know what, we decided to give it a try and did not regret our choice. It was very tasty, and their special sauce made it perfect. It was a very pleasant experience, so we actually returned there several times. Nonetheless, apparently fast-food is unhealthy, and at some point I decided to try to lose weight, so I had to avoid this place, but it is always a pleasure to taste their food, till now, it has been a popular products in my city. That is it.
Well, not too far from my hometown, there is a city which is known all around the world, named Zhangjiajie. This city is famous for its wonderful touristic sites. Although I heard about it before and actually planned to visit that place, a good friend started telling me how interested he was in having an experience in that area. Apparently, I called some friends and started making arrangements to go on a group hiking on mountain. When the time came, we all went there together and enjoyed every moment of it. The moment that brought the joy to me was watching the sunset in the sky. From the top of those mountains, the view was wonderful, there were not too many clouds, furthermore, the orangey sky and groups of birds had a very unique atmosphere, the kind that you would find in movies. I was resting my mind while enjoying the terrific scenery. A better way for me to relax you know. It was quite a pleasant experience, and I would like to return there in the future. That is it.
I found myself in this kind of thing a couple of years ago. Indeed, when I was still in high school. At that time, my feet got injured that held me to bed for about a week, so as a result I could not attend my classes. During that period, I obviously missed a lot of important lessons for my curriculum and tried my best to catch up as soon as possible. My best friend was sending me pictures of his notes every day after the classes and was telling me about the content from professors, which was very nice of him. There was one assignment in particular for our mathematics class, but unfortunately he told me that we had three weeks to work on it, when in reality we had two weeks. The topic was so difficult to work out that I went to another friend to get help, and it was too late, because we had to finish it the following day. As a result, my best friend and I stayed up all night to complete the assignment and gave it back to the professor on time. That is it.I found myself in this kind of thing a couple of years ago.

Two ways are highly recommended in general. For one thing, ordinary people today could make full use of modern technology, like the Internet for example. Thanks to the Internet and its related products, in recent years, we have more choices or possibilities to have a better understanding of all kinds of information. Ranging from education to work, from everyday life to history. More importantly, the public resources could be nearly free of charge as well. Imagine that typing something you are looking for in the laptop, then desired results would be on. A quite efficient way I suppose. For another, I personally recommend the city library or related departments. Since millions of important papers can be found in those area. When we want to find out the truth, such kinds of places can be identified. However, the problem is that we need to make reservations in 7 days at least, meanwhile, we have to pay for this as well. So, here are two ways that I recommend. That is it.
Two factors might distract me when I decide to stay focused on one thing. No.1, it has got something to do with public noise I can say. When I am trying to pay attention to something that is important to me. I would be totally disturbed in general. I couldn't stay focused on one thing at a time, especially when I heard about public noise. No.2, it must be my roommate usually,I am not kidding. I have a nauty roomate, he is a kind of person who usually likes to talk a lot. I wouldn't say I could be staying focused on one thing at a time when he is around me.
In fact, it seems pretty hard to tell. 90% of ordinary citizens today suppose the Internet information is reliable, the rest would not say yes at all. Two simple reasons can be identified. No.1, according to governmental laws or policies, those fake or wrong information wouldn't be existed at all, since related departments would supervise what we put on the Internet in general. No.2, millions of net pals today have the basic ability to tell the differences between true and false online. They can easily find out the reality on their own, thanks to modern technology. This has got to do something with personal safety I can say. Above all, acquiring something you want from the Internet is a cool thing, it is playing an increasingly important role in our life today. That is it.
