I'm standing in my childhood bedroom when I close my eyes and open them
again. I first saw the big bear in my bedroom. He was brown, and my father
gave him to me for my tenth birthday. I looked to the left side of the
bedroom and I saw my pure white wooden bed. Cute dinosaur lamp on the
nightstand. Then I saw the only window in my bedroom and looked out on
a camphor tree. It was my favorite scene as a child. The breeze wafted
the curtains, filling my room with a woody scent. In the middle of the
room is a piano. It is a gift of adulthood from my parents. I enjoy playing
the piano with them very much. My little dog's little house is on the right
side of the room. He would sleep in the same room with me every day. His
toy balls were scattered on the ground. When I looked up, I saw the crystal
chandelier with a warm yellow light. When I was young, I used to stare
at the beautiful glow of this station to spend my spare time. When I came
back here again, I felt a very familiar yet strange feeling. Because this
room is the same room I had when I was a kid. But as I get older, I don't
like to buy a big, big bear to keep in my room, because I need to plan
my life more rationally.

Imagine one of your relatives gatecrashes a well-known fairytale. Example: your
mum turns up in Little Red Riding Hood, or your sister wanders into Hansel and
Gretel. Write a scene showing how your loved one would impact the action. How
would they change the story, just by being there? Be sure to include some dialogue.
I would like to prefer let my younger sister, Karina gets into the world of Snow White.
Snow White is one of the most famous fairytale all over the world, it describes the
story between a prince and the seven dwarfs and a poisonous apple. But for my sister,
the story must be different to say. Karina is a princess who lives in a small but
beautiful wooden house with seven dwarfs. However, her vicious and jealous mother
wanted to kill Karina because princess has better appearance than she has. She asked
the hunter to take Karina’s heart and come back. But hunter failed to finish the tough
task. As a result, the wicked stepmother thought of a good way to kill the princess.
Some day after, she finds Karina when the seven dwarfs left princess alone.
Stepmother dressed like a poor and needy old woman which purpose was to make
the kind-hearted princess pity . If the original story had been written, Snow White
would have died from eating the poisoned apple. But because of Karina, that won't
happen. Karina looked out the window at the poor old woman, then at the apple in
her hand. "Why did you give me the reddest apple?" she said. The old woman said,
"Because I think you are kind." "But there are so many good people in the world.
Why give me the reddest apple?" The old woman was a little impatient. She said,
"This apple is the reddest and sweetest apple in the world. Are you sure you don't
want to try it?" The rebellious princess Karina chose to give up the apple because the
more she was asked to do, the less she wanted to do. "You go find someone else. I
don't like red apples." at last, stepmother left angrily. The end of the story is that the
princess is saved because of her rebellious character

All the time I spend online makes me feel passionate, emotional and
confident. The social media and other various net works always broaden
my horizon and make me feel excited and curious. I love creating with my
novel thoughts and my curiosity, so internet always satisfy my curiosity
completely. I am actually a crazy travel-lover so I have a dream to travel
around the world by myself. However, the covid prevents me from finishing
this plan accidentally. But on the internet, I can search the pictures
and stories that other people wrote about the tourist attractions. During
reading the words that other people write, I feel excited. On the internet,
we can get access to many new things that far away from our lives. I have
read various articles and seen different kinds of pictures taken by other
people. Some stories really touched me and made me emotional definitely.
So my mood on the Internet is determined by what I read, emotional but
‘complete’. Compared to myself in the reality, I am more confident
online. I have gift for singing so I got thousands of fans on the singing
app. I always feel proud of myself because of this talent. Furthermore,
I have many friends online who I can always share my daily lives with them.
I don’t need to hide my emotions, instead I can say whatever I want to
those e-friends! I really enjoy the time online where I can be myself
confidently.

I would like to describe the time when I first saw the whale. I went to Saipan, a small
island in the northern part of America, with my family when I was 12. One day, my
parents brought me to the beach and took me to the wharf. I felt so excited and
curious since I had never taken a submarine before 12 years old. Everything was
exciting and attractive to me on the submarine, except for a bit of dizziness. Until I
saw a large black object slowly swimming towards the submarine. I was curious
initially because I had never seen a creature that mentioned so many people. And
then I felt this great fear. Because it made a sound, I had never heard before. It was a
sound I now recall with horror and trepidation. The sound was ethereal but heavy,
like a low growl, like an accusation. I relaxed a little when I was told it was a black
humpback. I cannot stop hearing that sound in my head, and whenever I think about
it, I feel panicky and depressed. I feel like a whale crying in anger, and I feel lonely
when I listen to that sound. I have been feeling low since I got off the submarine. I do
not know if the sound of the whale makes me feel lonely or if the sound of the whale
reminds me of my daily troubles. To this day, I often steer clear of the whale shows in
the aquarium because the sound makes me think it is crying to me.

A hundred years from now, somebody is trying to document your life by sifting through your old
digital footprint. Who are they? What kind of data traces are they finding, and what conclusions
are they drawing from them?
A hundred years later, archaeologists are traveling west of Vancouver in Canada,
looking for traces of human activity from a hundred years ago. This is the tenth year
they have been looking for people who live here and still need to find something.
Because some time ago, rising sea levels caused by global warming turned Vancouver
into an ocean. Signs of humanity were swept away by the sea. All evidence of human
survival lies in ruins when the tide goes out. This group of scientists and
archaeologists has been desperately searching for evidence of a human presence in
Vancouver.
Nevertheless, not even a bird has been seen in this place. They walked south along
Vancouver's beaches, trying to find some clues. Suddenly, they found a bird in a tree
by the sea. It had a mobile phone in its mouth. The battery on that phone has been
dead for a long time. The scientists were so ecstatic that they charged their phones.
Finally, they opened the phone, and on the phone, they found out that the owner was
me. This phone has all the digital footprints of my existence in this world on it. They
found a video. My friends and I were walking by the beach with our mobile phones in
our hands when a wave hit, and we were swept into the sea. The scientists noted that
the video was taken 100 years ago today. They found much evidence of the original
human presence in Vancouver based on my digital footprint, took all the evidence,
and wrote a book about it. I strongly appreciate your work. You clearly state the
author's point of view and your own. You can increase the credibility of your articles
and opinions by adding some literature opposite to your position in your basic
framework. At the same time, you can start with the aspects of the government's
strategy that affect the epidemic prevention policy and subdivide it.
If in order to let the future me recognize the present me, I will tell him about my unpleasant
experience. Because people easily forget the happy moments, on the contrary, they can always
remember the sad moments. So I would tell her the story of how she was forced to learn roller
skating when she was a child, because when I was learning roller skating, I fell many times and
got bruised. And I would tell her that she used to have a puppy named Lucky, and the two of
them often enjoyed time together in the backyard of the house. If she still doesn't want to
believe what I'm saying, I'll tell her something about my parents. My parents fought a lot when I
was young, which made me emotionally irritable and sensitive, and I would be very afraid of
being abandoned. If she would be disgusted by the bad experience I kept talking about, I would
tell her that she doesn't like economics and mathematics at all, what she likes is painting and
animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian from a very young age. Just because of her parents'
opposition, she gave up her ideals. At the same time, she likes handwork very much, but because
her parents warned her that this thing is a waste of time, she gave up. Maybe there are many
happy times in her life, but she will always remember the bad times. I will use this to remind her
of me and believe that I am her future.
