Las Vegas


Las Vegas is one of the most incredible cities in America. It is the capital of gambling in the world, and famous for its entertainment, shows, shopping, and vacation resorts. If anyone plans to go to Las Vegas for a vacation, I suggest they must try four things as below. The first thing is to visit different casino. Las Vegas is famous for lavish casinos such as Winn, Caesars Hotel, and Bellagio Palace that every tourist must take pictures. Second, watch some famous shows. For example, the O show in Bellagio is very special and exciting. Even tickets for shows are expensive, people who spend the money to watch shows will feel its worthiness. Third, go to buffets in some big hotels. In Las Vegas, you can find buffet in every hotel is affordable and delicious. The last thing is go gambling. You may become very rich or very poor during one night, and it is all depends on your luck. I like to play jackpot when I travel Las Vegas. Jackpot is very easy and just for fun to me. In conclusion, I still can’t find the way to win any money. If I won a lot of money from Las Vegas, I won’t be the student in CSUF anymore.

Tennis and Badminton

Even tennis and badminton let people feel like that they are the similar sports, but there are differences in many ways. The first difference is equipment. For example, people use two rackets, one ball for tennis and one bird for badminton when they play tennis and badminton, but the racket’s weight on these two sports are quite different. A tennis racket is heavier than a badminton racket, so girls usually like to play badminton more than tennis. Another difference is the court. People play tennis outdoor. On the other hand, badminton is played indoor. The ball for badminton is makes from plastic or feathers, so people play it indoor. The last difference is the rule. For instance, we serve a ball behind the side line when we play tennis, but the serve for badminton is inside the side lines. Some rules for these two sports are similar but still have some differences. In conclusion, tennis and badminton are all interesting sports.

McDonalds and In N Out

Although McDonalds and In N Out both are famous America fast food restaurants and sell hamburgers as their main product, there are quite a few differences. One difference is marketing. Every year McDonalds will try to create some new products to attract customers. However, In N Out only sells three kinds of hamburgers as their main product. In N Out doesn’t have too many choices.The other difference is their food-marketing segmentation. While McDonalds makes the hamburger before customers order it and quickly, In N Out only makes their hamburger after customers order it and fresh. That is why the hamburger from In N Out is usually tastes better than McDonalds. The final difference is reputation. McDonalds sells their products all over the world, and its logo already equals to hamburgers for people worldwide, so they are well-known in the world. In contrast, In N Out only sells to CA, NV, and AZ in America.
In conclusion, though there are some unlikeness between McDonalds and In N Out, they are all my favorite fast food restaurants.

A Person Hwo Has Made a Difference

A statesman who recently died in Taiwan is a person who has made a difference to my country’s political ecosystem. His name is Ding Nan Chen. Due to his behavior, he makes me believe there is somebody with integrity in politics. He is very honest in his political career and establishes a good judicial system. When he died, everyone was so shocked to believe it in my country. Almost everybody felt really sad that day. He died of lung cancer. However, he never smoked, drank or had any bad habit and devoted his entire life to improve the judicial system. As I know so far, very few people who work as a congressman or statesman can really carry on their ideals and disregard their personal desires. In conclusion, I think in the contemporary society we all need this kind of person to be our model, and make things better.

There Are Three Types of People in This World

We can classify three types of people in this world. The first kinds is people who are learning knowledge. This kind of people is usually age between 1 to 20 and happy without any worry, because they are young and their life is simple. Learning knowledge is the main part of their life. For example, children have to go to school to learn knowledge, such as learning how to how to communicate with people, and express their ideas clearly. The second kind is people who are learning a real life. This kind of people is adults and age between 20~60. It means when they finish their college degree, they go to society, and life is becoming more complex. They have to be independent. For instance, when people are in this age, they have to consider being single or marriage, how to take care of the family. The last kind is people who already have knowledge and know how to handle life. This kind of people is old people. Old people are full of knowledge and experience about life, but they are not young anymore. In conclusion, we basically all belong to one of these three kinds of people, enjoying every different part of our life will make the entire life completeness and fullfillness.

Research Halloween online and write a paragraph summarizing the holiday. No plagiarism! I'm watching you!
Halloween

Before I came to America, I expected Halloween coming. In my memory the Halloween is a very special holiday. It is different from our ghost festival (In ghost festival we be careful of everything). In America, people celebrated together, crazy…and TV also plays lots of horror movies. Halloween comes from the word all-hallow-even. In the November first, all-hallow-even is a Catholic day that is observed in honor of saints. In the 5th century BC was changed to October 31 because summer officially ended on October 31. One of the stories about Halloween was all of the spirits will come out and search of living people in Irish on the night of October 31. The Irish people didn’t want to be possessed, so they dress up as ghoulish and walked near their neighborhood. They did something destructive and they believe it can frighten away spirits. After the Irish immigrant to America, they also brought their custom to America. Because of that, nowadays Halloween becomes an important holiday to America or Canada. One of the most famous activities is trick-or-treat. Children disguise themselves and go to their neighborhoods to solicit the candies. If they don’t get the candies from their neighborhoods, they may trick them.
