September 21.1999,was the most unforgettable day in my life. It was the first unforgettable earthquake I had experienced in my life. I remembered the day I was very sleepy but my older brother wanted to read his Harry Potter; he didn't turn off the light so that I couldn't sleep. I was very upset at that moment and quarreled with him.

Two hours later, I felt the bed started shaking slightly ,so I said to my bother angrily "Don't shack the bed! I want to sleep. He did not answered. After a while, the bed shake violently and I yelled at my brother " If you shacked the bed again I will tell dad". Afterword, he shouted at me " Earthquake!". Suddenly, the light went off. I was stunned and got off the bed quickly. My dad took a emergency flashlight in a hurry and told us go downstairs to the ground right now. We escaped from our house to an open space, and my relatives had already been there. Then adults started discussing the earthquake and my aunt turned the transistor radio on to follow the news and we children surrounded a circle.

It seemed like a family party--everybody all got together and chatted with each other. We should have been very scared but the power of gathering made us nothing to fear. About 4 am in the morning, the shake became weak and we went back to sleep. Fortunately, our family are all safe in this disaster.

I hate doing labor education because I have to get up in the early morning and start to clean the campus. It is very hard to get up in the early morning and you cannot wear nightclothes and slippers, so you have to get up earlier to dress yourself. It's very difficult for a person who goes to bad late to get up early. However, it also has advantages on labor education. Firstly, you can make more friends with people from other departments. Secondly, in the end of echelon, labor leaders will prepare some snack for us. Thirdly, we can make our campus more beautiful and our mood will also be better.

In my opinion, I think labor education on campus is meaningful; it trained us to do our job well. But it is not necessary to do it every day. Maybe we can do it just once a week or twice a month. Finally, my freshmen labor work is going to the end. In the beginning, I was very confused about why we have to do this job every day and it is also a compulsory course. But when I knew other campus's students are the same as us, I felt more comfortable at least we are not the only school having this compulsory course.

paparazzi

Paparazzi is a career which first appeared in 1958. This word is come from Italy.There was a director Federico Fellini he created a role called Paparazzo who was a reporter and he only dug out the celebrity's privacy. And when the word spread to Hong Kong, they called paparazzi as puppy. Because of the similar pronounce as well as their following behaviors are familiar to dogs, bit by bit this word switched into paparazzi.

Everything all has two faces as well as paparazzi. Because they like to trace the celebrities private life. we can know more about the movie stars we like how they look after the stages and their scandals . Take " apple news" for instance, the photographers like to take the famous people's funny faces and ridicule their issue or exaggerate their private life. All of these can become the subject of the talk during the meal. They bring a lot of fun to our life. Moreover, take our last president's money laundering for example, because of them or our Taiwan people will never know where our money going and what the bad things he did.

Although paparazzi can entertain out boring life but it also have many bad effect. In order to make news that can appeal people's attention, they will crate untrue news. Or their behavior may disturb the innocent people who is not celebrity. Take Cinderella prince " BrotherSharp" for instance, he is the most handsome beggar in china recently. Due to his charming face, media all like to follow him. But in the TV ,we can know that "BrotherSharp" doesn't like to be attention and he looks very nervous and scare. But because of the media, his mother finally takes him back to home. So it also has a positive affect.

" I think the paparazzi go over the top, but who is to blame should be the question asked. The paparazzi couldn't exist if it weren't for the fans desperately panting to get a glimpse of their favorite celebrity. And what about the celebrities themselves? They want the attention when they are new to the business, but once they are established, they cry about it. They can't have it both way. By K. Marciano, Minneapolis, Minnesota " I agree with Marciano. Because people like to look gossip so the paparazzi exist.

To sum up, I thought paparazzi shouldn't be stopped but they should be more respect people and don't do too over.

The similarities between the two are that they are all going traveling and go sightseeing. But they have many differences. The first is that tour travelers will pay more money than backpackers. Because a travel agency in order to earn more money and they will take tourists to many spots to buy souvenirs or specialty goods. The second is that backpackers have more freedom in choosing spots. They can go more spots than tour travelers. The third is that backpackers can schedule their times but tour travelers have no independency. Their route is scheduled by tour agency.
