Ghost
On a Saturday, I saw an old but interesting movie, "Ghost", which was very impressive to me. The story is about Sam and his girlfriend, Molly. They were happy at first, but just then Sam was shot in a robbery. After Sam was dead, his soul came out. He discovered that no one except other souls can see him, and he couldn't touch them, either. Base on this, he began to search about his death. Soon, he found the killer and the killer was going to kill Molly. He quickly communicate Molly by a witch called Oddmey. A few days later, he lealized that his best friend was the one who directed the whole thing for getting the code in Sam's bag. In the climax, I don't know what happens because my mother told me to sleep. The movie was nearly un-sense but fun.

The Appearance of Elephant
Once upon a time, a pig-like, insane, rude, and noisy animal called Winnier lived in a peaceful forest. He enjoyed scolding every animal with impolite words and then ran away. Soon, he became an annoying existence for all the animals in the forest. They decided to throw Winnier far away from the forest. Unfortunately, Winnier had heard about this before they started to do, so he quickly hid in a dark cave on the top of the mountain. When Winnier was hiding in the cave, a strange sound came out. "Who is there?" Winnier asked, "What an axxhole is making such fxxking sound." "How dare are you! You not only come in my place without asking but greet me with bad words!" a shadow in the cave cried. Suddenly, a big bear rushed out from the cave and gave Winnier a big punch in the face. Winnier flew backward and fell. Meanwhile, the big bear pulled Winnier's nose and it began to lengthen. The bear also pulled Winnier's ears and scream, "Dumbaxx! Go away!". He kept running until he couldn't see the forest. When he stopped, he was in Africa, and he was the first elephant in the world.

Meatball Legend

The four people in the class, Mr. E, Mr.P, Mr. W, Mr.Y, came together and discussed about history and truth. However, Mr. W always said stupid things and made Mr. P angry. Mr. P forced him to pay attention and shut up, so the session could proceed. Unfortunately, the peace didn't last long because Mr. W was more senseless and annoying. First, he started to pretend as an elephant during the session. Furthermore, he refused to use his original name. He was always crying and yelling for changing his name, though he knew he will get a knuckle sandwich from Mr. P. Soon, the others in the class were so upset about Mr. W. They just gave him some strange names. Then, someone in the outer village invented a kind of delicious food and named it meatball because it was a ball made of meat. Mr. E quickly combined the similarities between meatball and Mr. W. He found that Mr. W looked excately like the meatball, so Mr. W was given his new suitable name Meatball.

As a reasult, Mr. W is named Winnieball now, and perhaps a new kind of food " Winnieball " will appear in the future.

Embarrassing Moment
I can still remember the most embarrassing moment of my life. In the morning, I went to school by bike as usual. When I arrived at the intersection beside the school, I stopped and took my helmet off. Just then, a teacher came and scolded me, " Why aren't you wearing your helmet? " As a result, I reached for my helmet and tried to put it back on. Suddenly, the traffic light turned green, and I pushed my bike across the street. Immediately, the bike started to fall because one of my hands was holding the helmet. Then, the bike brought me down with it in front of everyone. I quickly stood up, bowed to the crowd, and rushed away. I'm sure that everyone was amused by my funny actions that day.

Entrance Exam
Every students wants to go to a good university or college, but almost all of these academies have difficult entrance exams. The tests are nightmares for most students, but I agree it's necessary to take an entrance exam for several reasons. First, the school can select the sudents who have enough ability and knowledge by using tests. The chosen students are mostly fast learners, and this makes the teachers less tired and also improves the quality of the classes. Another reason is that a popular school may be applied by lots of students. With the entrance exam, the number of the students who apply decreases. A crowded and noisy school is not the best place for learning, so it shows the importance of an entrance exam.
Edo Japan Essay
During the Tokugawa Shogunate in Medieval Japan, young people lived a way totally different from now. This period, also called Edo Japan, young people's education, dining, lifestyle, and even thinking has a lot of differences from our lives now. It was a very interesting and attractive age.
Young people in Japan had busy but colorful lives. They were well-caltivated. One of their traditions, tea ceremony, emphasized the way to treat guests and taste tea. It uaually took a long time, so it made the young people more patient. Some other might do sumo-a kind wrestling-a Japanese origional sport which has been popular since Edo Japan. It was only practiced by boys, and the sumo wrestlers were respected and honored. However, Japanese young people couldn't just play. They still had many things to learn. Generally, the would succeed their parent's job. One reason is that the government forced them to inherit their parents' job. The government didn't want people to change their status because it was easier to manage that way. Another reason was that learning things from their parents was the easiest way to survive. Although teachers in schools helped to educate people to know how to read, they didn't teach them how to earn money to live. So Japanese young people were tired and busy as we are now.
In addition, some other aspects of their lives differed a lot from ours as well. Their lives were more difficult. Nevertheless, they had better lives than in other countries at that time. During Edo Japan, young people were able to bathe in every town. There were public baths throughout Japan, and they still are now. This brought about the invention of the Japanese bath robe. Young people could also get food on the street and in restaurants. Restaurants at that time provided snacks such as sushi, lunch boxes, and miso soup. All the food was fast enough to suit the rapid pace of Japanese life. In contrast to other nations, life in Japan was very convenient and advanced, yet their way of thinking was not modern. Japanese young people, especially the samurai, showed their loyalty and respects to the emperor. Perhaps their Feudailism and forbidding policy caused them to have limited experience and outlook, but they made brilliant contributions to their own culture.
With no doubt, Japanese young people had amazing lives in a prosperous Japan. They lived hard but delightful lives. Today, we can still see some of Japanese traditions around us, which means young people in Edo Japan had already lived this way. Isn't this impressive?
