不少同学们都会在
6. Music
The type of music: rock music
The reasons you chose the music
- like beat
- sound of a generation
- music for a better life and a better society
I like all kinds of music but if I had to choose one type of music it would be rock. It was the lively beat of change for a
whole society. Moreover, one of the leaders of this change was Jimi Hendrix. When I listen to his masterful electric guitar
style, I can hear the energy of his generation. The music has a soul and an appealing sound. It has inspired many people to
work for a better life for themselves and for a better society around them. Rock music has soul and has stood the rest of time.
7. Book
The book: the Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
The reasons you chose the book:
- identified with the character
- challenges of my age group
- interesting point of view
When I read The Catcher in the Rye, By J. D. Salinger, it was already an old book, but I liked it because I identified with
Holden Caulfield, the young man who was the main character. He was not always correct in his judgments about the way life
was, although he had strong opinions. I liked to read about how he felt and what he understood. His constant wry observations
about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies, capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation. In
many ways, we still have the same challenges in life since the times of The Catcher in the Rye.
8. Subject
The subject: math
The reasons you chose the subject
- difficult to understand
- not relevant to my life
- no time to catch up
My worst subject in school was mathematics. I didn’t understand it as well as other subjects. Furthermore, it was hard for me
to see the relevant of math in my life. I just never saw the point of studying so many formulas and equations that seem so
abstract. I think I could have been good in math if my teacher were to have taken more time to explain it to me. Maybe I
needed a different approach to math. In as much as I was weaker in math, I was stronger in art, literature and even biology so
there was balance in my subjects and in my marks.
9. sport
The sport: golf
The reasons you chose the sports:
- good exercise
- have fun and relax
- play to win
I recently took up golf because I though it might be a sport that would be fun and useful. So far, I have discovered that golf
requires a lot of time and a lot of walking. This, however, adds to the fun and relaxation of a round of golf. Golf has also
taught me to concentrate and to take many factors into account, such as wind and slope. Although I like to play to win, even if
I don’t beat my partner, I know I have played well if I have improved my own score. I think by choosing golf I have found a
good way to do business in the future as well as have fun learning it now.
10. gift
The gift: music box
The reasons you chose the gift:
- sentimental
- thoughtful
- useful
My favorite gift is a music box. It has a great amount of sentimental value. It was given to me as a gift for my first dance
recital with my ballet class. I was only seven years old and my family planned a dinner celebration. At the table, my father
presented me with a little jewelry box. When I opened it, music played and a small plastic pink ballerina burned in a mirror.
My family knew how much I loved ballet and understood my dream of becoming a ballet dancer. I didn’t become a ballet
dance, but I still use my favorite gift because it reminds me of my parent’s thoughtfulness.
