I think I belong to a scientist.I have some reasons. First, I prefer to think logically. I like to find problems, then investigate and analyze things and finally find out the answer. Secondly, My hands-on ability is very strong, I liked the splicing of some models and the ability to sort some data from an early age. I especially like to assemble the model. I participated in the Shanghai Science and Technology Competition in the second day and won the silver award.
Shiyu, you have clearly proven that you are a scientist. This is a very logical paragraph.
How difficult to save money. First, some people go shopping very hungry every week. Because, the new cloths, bag, sneaker always drop every month. Also, they are so expensive, if some people go shopping hungry, it is difficult to save money. Secondly, some people don’t know to use their money. They don’t know how to put money in the bank to make interest, invest in stocks, or house. If they put money here to invest, they can get a return every year.
It is very hard to save money when you go shopping while you are hungry. I think that people don’t often know how to make investments too!
Yes, I consider my lifestyle habits healthy. When I was kid, my mom always say if you don’t keep healthy, you can’t have a good health when you was retired. Also, you will become oldman, you can’t take care of yourself. you can walked fast than before, you can’t go to the far door, you only lie in the bed everyday. So keep healthy is good in the future

I think people have different in the societly. Some people work in the bussiness, some People work in the school, some people work in the factory, some people work in the airport and so on. So they have different cloth to choose. So kind of cloths is depend on what job they are. Secondly, kind of clothing hsve symbol history, culture, some people like collect history time cloths.
Simon, I think that you bring up some good points about how people have different jobs, so they have to wear different clothes.
This article is called “This World Fashion Capital Should Go Fur-Free’’ by
Cristian Salazar.’’ The author wants to make legislation that prohibits fur sales in the
market, reducing hunting for animals. There are over 900 fashion companies, a $15 billion
retail market to sell fur. Also, it is very necessary to protect animals. On the other
hand, The fur industry has been using artificial fur, which has also caused
environmental pollution. Because some brands are not biodegradable, they may
harm wildlife. Moreover, New York City sends out information around the world
by prohibiting fur sales. Through such measures, it is not only to protect these
animals, but also to protect the environment.
I want choose sneaker business.I want to open a shoe store in the future. Because today’s young people prefer to have a good pair of shoes, if a pair of shoes is limited, it will be more expensive. I will sell a lot of shoes in it. The shoes can also be customized privately and co-signed with several brands. There will even be star signatures.
I think a sneaker business is a smart idea. I also your summary. You have the main ideas, but there were some problems with the sentence structure.
I think Modern business owners value efficiency, so efficient and time-saving is the most basic requirement for employees. Do things efficiently. There is also work performance, performance is the best indication of a person’s ability. So, do your best to work is conscientiously.
I think that time is money, so I agree with your assessment that modern business owners value efficiency.
The article talk about the “Study find that lies spread faster and further than truth on twitter” by MIT research. The author want to tell us recently, there have been more and more fake news and lies on the Internet, and the speed of communication is getting faster and faster, which will affect the correct judgment of reading. According the article researcher from MIT studied 126285 stories posted on Twitter. And this reports have been published millions of times between 2000 and the end of 2016. Moreover, some experts believe that the destructive power of network communication is very large. It takes a few hours for Twitter users to receive fake reports, while real reports are rarely received, but most false reports are constantly being forwarded. The study found that the speed of fake news is six times faster than that of people, and there are many robots that spread and forward, so you can’t explain the destructiveness of network lies.
Hello, Simon. Could you paste this into a document and print it out for me before class? Thanks!
If I had a free vacation, I would go shopping and have a big meal with my money and friends. Then several of us consulted and flew to Miami for density vacation. We ordered a luxurious seascape room. Go surfing, fishing and swimming together in the daytime, and party together in the evening.
Wow, Simon. That sounds amazing! I like the idea of being on the water.
